The places we'll go

[bandofchimeras]

the dominant white transmasc culture is actually not very fun in my experience like yes lots of being silly little guys and chilling and making food and dressing like boys and being crafty plant dads and therapists

it does make me feel comfortable and I thought I wanted to be part of this but also it leaves me lonely and I'm trying to put my finger on it

maybe it's that it's so white and feels violent inherently bc of that? Like who are you as people that all your friends are white, are housed, what is protecting you, what are you protecting? parents, institutions?

maybe it is a new tier of assimilation

Or more a reflection of living in white liberal dominated cities/spaces and suburban/secular privilege

there surely are other crazy disabled angry punk ex religious transmasc fags out here

I'm just hung up between ND anxiety good boy culture and my more true and beautiful punk girl teenage rage and realizing even though I am becoming more mature and healing, healing doesn't always mean assimilating into quietness and comfort, even if that's part of it

It's domesticity I'm sick of, like we all know how to do that and do it better than cishets, but I'm looking to get thrown around at a metal show and hold my own and own some guy in a fight or rave and dance and fuck and be able to speak my mind freely without the anxiety and caretaking and control that come with security

I get why the trans people who can have it want it but doesn't it leave you empty? don't you see your fate bound up in your neighbors? Don't you want to fight alongside your brothers to take down institutions or get people resources? channel all that rage you've learned to swallow out of fear of being an abusive asshole? become warriors with the hearts of lovers? grow fangs and teeth? own a gun or a knife and know how to use it safely? don't you want to own your own power, and make the right people feel safe?

maybe the world is hungry for transmasc punk

Nimona awakened this demon in me again but I love this demon, it's actually a god of war and love

John in a cowboy hat. You know why.

[taldigi]

Yuuko. Crown Princess of Junes, lover of all things pink and berry scented. She hides her trepidation and bitterness beneath a veneer of sugary cheerfulness. She is in Yu's class- being Morgana's classmate and his first non-phantom thief friend. She also acts as the Trainhopper's hanged man confidant, which Nanako frequently babysits.

She doesn't understand exactly why her father decided to move to the middle of nowhere other than it was to live near family that she's never met before. Nor does she fully grasp why her mother no longer wants to see them.

She suffers from Wanderlust, and while she can board the Midnight Train, she is too currently too young to develop a shadow... right?

tribute profile: whitney

this is a part of the dol hunger games au!

district: 6

build: tall and strong, sculpted with ropes of lean muscle. 5’11” with pale blue eyes and decently long blond hair.

weapon of choice: knife, or just his fists

strengths: physically strong, charismatic and generally well-liked with his “bad boy” persona

weaknesses: overly antagonistic towards the capitol

public opinion: the capitol loves a bad boy, but are somewhat put off by his rebellious, anti-authority streak. still, they’re sponsoring him, because he’s got a good chance of winning. he’s pretty popular in the districts. back home in 6, he’s a terror, but definitely popular among the local youth.

gamemaker score: 9

lore below!

if you utter the name "whitney" in district 6, you'll get a few different reactions. start at the canteen behind the old train station. don’t let the peacekeepers see you, though- it would be a damn shame if you got it shut down. the district might not forgive you for that.

slip in there and try to ignore the stench of sweat and rust and motor oil. slide onto a creaky old barstool and order the strongest moonshine money can buy. pass it to the old man with a snaggletooth in the corner. let him get a few good slugs in, and then he’ll start talking.

“whitney? wha- oh, that whitney,” he says. “you know, his family used to own a shipping company. back in the day, before the war. they had trains and boats and trucks all across panem, from here to district 10. then, in the war, they went rebel, so when the capitol got control back they shut ‘em down real quick. they struggled on a few years, and then they just-”

he makes an explosion gesture with his hands.

“bam! gone off the face of the earth. left only that boy behind.” he takes another swig. “it’s a shame, too. that boy’s too rough around the edges. coulda used a few more years of parenting.”

now, leave the canteen, and try not to look too thrilled about it. this time, you can be seen by the peacekeepers. they’re who you want to talk to, anyway. peacekeepers have an awful tendency to shut up like a clam, but slip a few sesterces into their pockets, and they’ll glance both ways before opening their mouths.

“whitney’s first arrest was when he was 9,” the taller one says. “it was just petty theft. a few fancy buttons nicked from the tailor’s shop. nothing major.”

“i thought it was fabric,” says a shorter one.

“well, you weren’t there, so shut up,” the taller one snaps. “we laughed it off, gave him a slap on the wrist, hoped this wouldn’t become habit.”

“but it did, clearly,” the shorter one cuts in. “that kid’s always sneaking around, stealing whatever he can get his hands on. selling it on the black market. we would shut the whole operation down, but the moonshine’s too good.”

any other crimes? trespassing, assault? “trespassing, yes. he’s a trainhopper, that one. always hanging around in boxcars,” the taller one answers. “assault… he’s a scrapper, that’s for sure. we know he’s got a penchant for beating up the other kids, but if you ask any kid about who gave them a black eye they won’t tell you. but you can tell it was whitney.”

head towards the town square. on the way, you might see a girl carrying a basket of washing. she’s a teenager, but her eyes are a lot older. ask her what she thinks about whitney and she’ll spit on the ground.

“fuck him,” she says. “the peacekeepers should cut his dick off before his whoring gets someone knocked up.”

that’s all she has to say about that. but that’s fine. you should head to the town square, or else you’ll be late.

when you get there, try to ignore the crowd of sniveling, greased-up teenagers. try to ignore the exhausted parents, stains on their clothes and wrinkles on their too-young faces. try to ignore the crying girl onstage next to the capitol liaison and focus on the shock of blond hair.

there he is. walking towards the stage. his head high, cigarette dangling from his lips like it’s any other day. he’s tall. muscled. beautiful. he’d be a good victor. he’d best watch his back, though, or the capitol will eat him alive.

he reaches the stage. the capitol liaison scolds him for smoking. his name rings out across the town square. there’s silence, and then some thirteen-year-old boy in the front row mutters:

“good riddance.”

he arrives at the capitol. they love him, predictably so. they all love a bad boy. but he’s a threat, isn’t he? isn’t all the talk about how the capitol fucked him over going to come back to bite him one day?

maybe. but does it matter? it’s not like he’s gonna live, anyway.

then, in training, he spots you. strong. lithe. beautiful. you’d be a good victor. he dreams of cutting you down, but slowly, those dreams morph into fantasies of doing much, much more intimate things to you.

whitney knows lust well, but this… this is something different. he wants to keep you close. keep you away from anyone who could hurt you. but that’s not going to be easy in the hunger games. if he wins, he’ll live without you, and that’s unacceptable. but if you win, you’ll live without him, without him there to protect you, and that might be even worse.

there are rumors cropping up. inklings that a few victors, along with a few tributes, are scheming. plotting a revolt behind the scenes. it’s the risk of a lifetime, but if whitney wants you to remain his, it’s what he’ll have to do.

back home in 6, whitney’s known by many names. the disgrace. the trainhopper. the thief. the fuckboy. he can’t change any of that, and he wouldn’t want to.

what he can control is the future. who he becomes. who’s at his side. the legacy he leaves behind.

and that’s far more important.

so… this got long. i know this is a bit of a different style from the other tribute intros, but i hope it’s not too jarring and i hope you all like it :) i just… love this boy a lot. ok that’s all bye

[lavenite]

no longer upset cause i had a revelation in the shower that lends itself into a relatively simply fix and keeps all the plot ive keep developing and connects the different working parts in a cohesive and entertaining way and also nicely slots the themes in place. so thats fun

getting upset cause ive realized i have no foundation for time and again which means i basically have an empty story and i dont really want to tear apart months of work to see if its salvagable while also i need to work on BAON cause i wrote and published act 0 and then immediately fucked off like lol…

[swifty-fox]

Loving the outlaw!au, the vibe is impeccable. Do either of them ever serve any jail time? If so, how does the other cope / what do they do in the meantime?

So due to future plot reasons I can half answer this.

tldr, John does go to jail. He has a juvenile record, but as an adult he thankfully manages to dodge an /armed/ robbery charge, which could get him a life sentence at worst and 3-9 years at best. At the time Gale and he are /not/ traveling together due to circumstances and by virtue of them having no way to contact one another it leads to some drama briefly when John doesn't show up where and when he's supposed to.

Gale in the meantime runs with some trainhoppers and tries to figure out why John never showed up until he gets his head out of his ass and calls Curt/Ken and they're like yeah dude he's been in jail and trying to get in contact with you for months.

Cue Gale feeling like the biggest idiot ever. Cue him going to visit John and them having a reunion with John in cuffs where they can't touch. Cue John getting some ill-advised prison tats

Power Rider Mixmon

(Logo by WryytArt) "MIX AND MATCH!" Mixmon is the hot new card game made by Bayside Games. The game is played by combining various cards into Mixsters who mix attributes of both to fight with. A young man named Nicholas Flemming is visiting his parents at the Bayside Games office when he finds the creator of the popular Mixmon card game conducting a dark alchemist ritual to get revenge on the company for stealing his idea and screwing him over. Nicholas sees a chance and steals a device at the center of the ceremony interrupting it but the monsters from the cards are still released. In the following battle the offices are damaged and one of the security guards even loses their life. The media uses security footage of the battle and the public believes Nicholas was the one responsible. Unable to reveal his identity until he clears his name, as well as not knowing if his own parents were involved in the scheme Nicholas must use the power of the cards to defeat the monsters.

Nicholas Flemming- Power Rider Mixmon Feeling guilty for the role he played in the events of that night Nicholas dedicated himself to catching all the corrupt Mixmon he accidentally set free. Fortunately he discovers that upon defeating a Mixmon he gains their card to use himself. He can call on the now purified Mixmon to fight on his behalf or combine pairs to gain the power of Mixsters. Unfortunately these abilities make it easier for people to believe he is the one controlling the corrupt Mixmon. Fortunately though he is soon approached by a man identifying himself as James Horton, co-creator of the Mixmon game. He allows Nicholas to use one of his studios as a safe house when needed and provides gear for him using his limited alchemist knowledge. James also aids him with his knowledge of the various Mixmon and their abilities. His default form uses Jumping Grasshopper and Charging Train to form TrainHopper. A perfect mix of the Grasshopper's agility and the Train's physical power. As with all his forms Nicholas can turn into the TrainHopper Mixster to boost his power.

Clarissa Parker- Power Raider Wildcard

One of Ian Newton's followers, she was present the night of the ceremony and quickly came to one conclusion. Everyone involved is a fool. All of them squabbling over a card game when a literal army of monsters was just unleashed. She uses what she learned from Ian and creates her own belt to take on the three Riders and take the power of the Mixmon for herself. Her belt uses the power of a set of unused concept cards she won in a contest. Clarissa quickly proves herself capable of beating the trio and even seriously injures Nicholas.

Ian Newton and James Horton created Mixmon together. Ian came up with the concepts for the Mixmon themselves and James came up with the mechanics of the game. At first Ian wanted to call it Gestarot but James and the people at Bayside Games convinced him to change it to Mixmon. Disgusted at himself for "degrading" down his life's work he grew bitter towards James and Bayside. This bitterness grew to hatred and he cut all ties with James and began plotting revenge against Bayside. His plan for revenge was thwarted when Nicholas intervened leading to the release of the Mixmon. Furious at the setback he instructed his daughter Edith to use a belt he created to fight Nicholas in his name. However she eventually saw through his lies and joined forces with Nicholas. He was then approached by one of his supporters, a woman named Clarissa Parker who uses what he teaches her to create her own belt as Power Rider Wildcard. When the Riders manage to defeat Wildcard and capture the Mixmon Ian grows desperate and in his desperation he performs a second dark ceremony. This ceremony releases the villains of Mixmon, in the lore a trio of Dark Alchemists attempt to create the ultimate warrior by creating unnatural combinations. Torod Master of Mind Razelia Mistress of Magic Ilyuk Master of Might The Dark Alchemists have the ability to transmute elements into warriors to fight the Riders. But even as they fought Ian was scheming. He convinced the Dark Alchemists to bestow him with a third of each of their power, allowing him to become Power Rider Primist to fight in their name. However he set up the Dark Alchemists to face the Riders as they grow stronger and stronger. Sure enough the Alchemists fall and Ian gains the full power of the three. Now with this power Ian makes a final attempt to take the revenge he feel he is owed. Transformation System: Primist System Transformation Call: Let's Ride!

Blackwood grange!!! A white barn crisscrossed in rainbow Christmas lights and queer spray paint. A yard out back for parking, camping, a few trainhoppers near the track...

There's a "bar" in a little corner in the back near the pool table, cash only, whatever homegrown mead the maddy locals felt like making and, always, absinthe and sugar. just try not to spill the bitter sugar concoction when some punk is crawling around on the rafters.

upstairs is a few army cots and couches, a cozy little trip cave/crash pad.

Local fare: ABSINTHE ABCESS, HOLY SHIT THERES SKELETONS, GRISTLE, FETUS FETUS FETUS, OLD SHUCK TOOK MY DADDY BUT IT'S OKAY HE WAS TRASH ANYWHOW ("oshi-bio-watuh", "oh shit bio water" or just "ohshibo"),

Another few things that happened during my conference.

I got heckled by a car full of teenage girls. Then they drove around the block and heckled me again.

A memoir writer I admire but don't know shouted at me Forever War (the name of my book) as we were leaving the book fair.

While I was walking to a reading with a new friend I wanted to impress, we came upon a freight train stopped on the tracks. The event venue was just on the other side, and there was no way around. I was like, I can't skip this train. I can't die because I fell off a boxcar or end up in California with a new life as a trainhopper. But 20 minutes later, the train was still there. So I climbed over the train 😱😱😱 and didn't die or end up in California.

At the very end of the last night, in a state of exhaustion, I was embarrassingly familiar with the famous keynote speaker, a poet I met briefly a few years ago who has no reason to know me or want to engage with me in any way. I rounded the corner to the elevator bank, saw him, was taken aback, yelled "Hey [first name]!" and then I tried to get on the elevator with him, but the problem is that these were elevators that had the floor buttons on the outside, not inside. So you can't just get in any of them. You have to essentially call an elevator just for your specific floor. It was so embarrassing. I'm so embarrassed. I'm so embarrassing!!!

Your art is so nice!! can I hear more about Meda?

Yeah!! Meda is an anthropomorphic horse (haven't decided on any specific breed), 170cm, 57kg, and the main character in my Reith worldbuilding project. In a relationship with Andi, an anthro horse-dog hybrid, he drags her around on his antics. He's constantly being watched by Milly, a jealous uni-antler'd photographer reindeer lady. Under surveillance by the very strict government of Reith; they don't have much on him, and they can't approach him in a legal manner because he's not on any official registries. He's works for a rather shady service; he's an on-call worker typically tasked with retrieving resurrected people from the dark half of the tidally locked planet. There's a bit of lore behind this; The planet of Reith itself is created by computer gods, comprising of 2 hemispheres which creates a great cliff at the equator, the sunlight touching the bigger half creating a habitable wreath of land; there's a magical phenomenon where unwitnessed deaths result in resurrection on the dark half of the planet. With no sunlight and extremely low temperatures, nobody who is resurrected lasts long; if they manage to sustain themselves, they turn into liches with a primal desire to kill every living thing they can find. (I have some super deep lore with this between 2 other characters; I really need to write it all out in a spreadsheet or something lol) He's a lover, a lifted gondola operator, a trainhopper, an adventurer, a troublemaker, a transformation stone user, and the interfacer of a corrupt computer god; he's set on a mission to disrupt an impossibly advanced space-age AI supercomputer from "solving" life by constantly causing disturbances, preventing it from producing 100% accurate results, and fighting to find out who on the planet is intentionally contributing to this AI. And he has big, fluffy ears.
