To the jerk who just stole my neighbors package, have fun with all the rot!

I'm sure her and her mycelium will *love* to be spread so far because of you. :)

Well I hope they enjoy it too lol.

Hello. It’s good to hear from you all again. On the topic of dealing with our respective Entities, I’ve taken the opposite approach from you all: I’ve, admittedly, leaned into it a bit.

I own a book store. It’s small, so I don’t always get many customers, which is nice. I sometimes go and people watch at cafes, but I prefer to do it at my book store. Many of my customers have been marked by one Entity or another, and it’s easier focusing on one person than on many.

It feeds what you all call The Eye quite well, without causing any real harm. It is also very useful for managing it. It may not be the most recommended course of action, but I find it to be delightful. I also get to grow my collection of Lietners, which is always a fun boon.

-Carter

That’s good to hear. I’m glad you’ve found a way to manage it while leaning into it.

Oh wow. B/Cass here again. I kinda forgot this blog exists until I saw that post.

I don't really have any big updates besides the fact that the Spiral's gotten more Manageable somehow. I'm DEFINITELY not back to where I was before all of this. Not at ALL. But still.

But I was looking through old things I sent, and it turns out past me was both right and wrong. The Spiral doesn't make you feel High (sorry for the High Squared Squad), it just makes you dissociate WILDLY. So for any Spiral avatars, honestly? Methods of coping with any dissociative disorders help So Much with Spiral Thoughts/Behaviors. Just thought I'd share now that I remembered this exists.

Also man. What happened to Z. I don't think they ever updated. I'm gonna be Haunted now.

Anyways. Congratulations on everyone Surviving (I think)

-B/Cass

I mean I don’t think many people are getting back to where they were before all this started.

But hey we’re getting to good places, and that’s good.

I used to be like. Fidgety gal when I didn’t look at my social media. But now, well, I still have my own Tumblr separate from this blog but I’m largely offline.

It certainly helps The Eye in me stay dormant.

Good to hear from you two. Me and Arkham tied the knot, it was just a small affair, ya know? We also kinda live in the road now (it’s good for seeing different local music scenes) so who knows, maybe we’ll see you on the road one of these days. - Max

Congrats on the marriage! And yeah. Maybe you will lol.

Hi, it’s been a hot minute, relocated to the West Coast. It’s nice.

Also there are some roads in the plains areas that are still part of The Vast and The Spiral. So that was fun to deal with.

All in all we’re doing well. Nothing paranormal beyond the roads being weird.

- Rose

[missed-connections-of-fear]

Did you ever find out what happened to Max?

No I didn’t. I wish I had answers. Maybe they had other things to deal with. But they haven’t been active on here since sometime in 2022 I think.

[missed-connections-of-fear]

Hi it’s been like a month since my last post.

I just want to assure everyone that I’m fine.

The Stranger (i presume it’s part of The Stranger) didn’t show up again. But I suspect it’s looking for us.

Day 3 of being 4 states away from West Virginia. No figure in the camera view. Have a bad feeling in the back of my mind. Could be anxiety.

- Rose

[missed-connections-of-fear]

I really thought going 4 states away would help. And it looked like it did, no figures in the view of the cameras. No feeling of being watched.

Might have just been West Virginia…

- Rose

[missed-connections-of-fear]

We’re several states away now. Haven’t slept. But it’s fine. I’ll sleep tonight.

And maybe the figure won’t be there.

- Rose

[missed-connections-of-fear]

Moved to a different RV parking place last night. And the figure was still there on last nights security camera.

Currently going to a different state. Seeing how far this thing decides to follow us.

- Rose

[missed-connections-of-fear]

Stay safe you two, no clue what's been happening these days, but I don't think whatever is out there is safe to tango with.

- Lynn

(P.S. Keep an eye out for wolf spiders, Vex said they've been up and about a bit more. I'm pretty sure it's just spring coming, but it doesn't hurt to be safe.)

Thanks Lynn, we’ll be careful.

- Rose

[missed-connections-of-fear]

Darcy and I are in West Virginia right now, doing the gay thing and seeing Mothman.

So I’ve been a little paranoid recently, especially at night.

I’ve had this nagging feeling I’m being Watched. Which is silly, I Watch things.

I bought a small camera to point out the RV window in my bedroom. Reviewing the footage has shown me nothing but the lot I have pulled into.

Last night I saw a figure approach, it stayed just enough out of view that it was only a silhouette. I don’t Know what it is. But it’s certainly not human.

[OOC]

Hey, it's been a while. I hope yall are doing well. You probably won't see this, but

I got hit with an idea to use my characters(Lynn, Vex, Kaytlin) in a fic. I wanted to ask if I could because it would be inspired by your blog.

If you're okay with that, I'll credit you and the blog, and if you're interested, I'll mention you if I post the link on mine.

If you don't want me to, that's fine, but I wanted to check before I go off writing.

Hope you're doing good, sorry if this was a bother. Have a good night or day(depending on the time zone).

(OOC reply)

Yeah of course it’s alright, they’re your characters you do what you want with them! And it’s not a bother at all!

Happy Spooky Month

So your favorite girls are currently celebrating the start of spooky season.

A few mini updates are called for I think, having been 2 months of radio silence.

We are traveling around in an RV, working remote jobs (thank god for remote jobs)

Haven’t had anything too paranormal happen to us, just checking up on a few folks

Darcy has changed her name legally to Darcy so we don’t have an Eye Situation again

My hair is bright green now

Hope you’re all well.

Goodbye (For Now)

I know this is a scary thing. I personally hate goodbyes. And this is going to be a mess because I know I will cry writing this.

But sometimes they are necessary, especially involving trauma.

My name is Rose. I have run this blog for two and a half years. I have gained powers beyond what is normal. I have been touched by The Slaughter and The Eye. I have killed people. I have saved people. I have made people scared. I have made people feel comforted.

That’s the bitch that life is. Good and bad. Bad doesn’t overshadow the good but also the good doesn’t make things automatically better.

I have more mental and physical scars than I thought I would when I started this.

But it also gave me my girlfriend, and I love her so much. Trauma bonding isn’t an ideal way to start dating. I don’t think I should need to say that. Darcy and I have both snapped at each other over the years and even sometimes on this blog. But we’re working through it.

I’m actually dropping out of college, so is Darcy. We’re gonna do something different. It’s not gonna be easy, it’s not gonna always be fun. Money will be tight but we will be fine, if we aren’t fine, we will be eventually. I don’t know how much I feel up to sharing or how much I should share, but we’ll be around just about everywhere.

If you see a girl with fading bleached hair holding hands with a girl with long peach colored hair, give us a wave.

I’ll See you. Even if I’m not looking.

Love you all.

- Rose

Okay so. I used to be fine with goodbyes. That changed. I’m gonna keep this short though.

I’m ambivalent on this blog’s existence. It was tormenting Rose for years. And it began to torment me too.

I don’t know if I would do anything different though. I don’t know if I could.

It’s been a weird time. Stay safe. And maybe you’ll see me and Rose around.

- Darcy

OOC

Thank you for making this blog. You have done something great here. It's not exactly easy to bring this many people together, but you did it.

If you choose to end the blog, we'll be here waiting if you do return.

Congratulations on graduating, and I hope you have a good day/night!

Thank you. I honestly think I mostly just had the idea at the right time.
