Also I finally caught up on the Big Planerider Ryn Lore Dump Episode and my current theories are:
- Calamity 2: Electric Boogaloo you know how you break a divine gate it’s an apogee solstice bitchhhhhh
(Because if the leylines are converging between planes then you could in theory draw power from across three planes simultaneously, which would be enough power to break a divine gate to do whatever with whatever gods)
- I think it is really significant that the translation is “consumed,” the PCs keep assuming this means ate but I think it means three-headed monster
- the city on the moon are people who were on Exandria when Ruidus was lifted, I think they’re bystanders not faithful but I think there’s a connection between them + modern Ruidusborn somehow
- my current Ruidusborn Apogee Solstice Theory is that Otohan wants the exalted as batteries. Like, the assumption is that they’re there to fight somehow but there’s something something power something something moon I think they’re all going to be killed as a part of the machine’s workings. This is in line with how Imogen’s enhanced moon powers work (she takes damage when she uses them) and also would be a great story beat to connect her with her mother.
(Also I haven’t seen ep 44 or 45 yet but that doesn’t MATTER here are my theoriesssss let me show you them.)

Today was semi-haphazard in a lot of ways.
I mean, my vision was sort of spotty-starry at best and I wanted to puke in the first airport and plane, it was just horrible, but on a positive I got free sushi, on a bad note it was a shrimp tempura roll, which makes me feel totally chubby, yet on a positive I got a very nice smoothie with pineapple and stuff, and I had a Celsius I actually enjoyed today (the Arctic Vibes), and have walked 5,000 steps so far, 5,000 more to go in this airport with hours left and the flight being one I already know.
Edit 2, Electric Boogaloo: My caloric intake today was 933, the calories I’ve burned so far were 323, so my net is 610 so far if I don’t do any more walking (I probably will do more walking). I can’t wait for my location, because I’m going to do major walking.

{Timed Message 1 Sent}
{Message Encrypted}
Hey Mr Spooky Code Ghost.
Whatever went down, you probably saw some of it codeside. But just in case, here’s a timed message in case I really royally borked it up and got deleted from life by either the shrimp or the pink little murder drone (And didn’t even get to come back as Spooky Code Ghost II: Electric Boogaloo).
First of all. I’m sorry. I really hope I didn’t mess everything up on your end. I really don’t want you to die either. You don’t deserve that. Plus I like you, spooky. Surviving death to come back as a digital ghost hero is super metal. You could make movies about that sorta thing. And anyone who pulls shenanigans from the shadows like you have is somebody I can get behind. (I can safely gush without being embarrassed because I’m dead. Ha!)
Second. I left some goodies for you. I splurged and got a very nice new fast pc with all kinds of nice tasty hacking tools installed. Got some good security too. It’s set up with a friend I trust. They won’t interfere; they will just leave it running for you. They don’t have the knowhow to crack its security, and a guilt trip from a dead friend should make sure they don’t do anything to it physically, lol.
I at least should have got my pineapple set up before anyone noticed. You’ll soon get a second message with everything attached you need to make the jump. The PC is named SAFEHOUSE. It’s yours now.
Do me a favor and avenge me, kay? Besides, I still don’t trust that they won’t try to find my sister. They probably don’t give a crap and I’m being paranoid. But. Well I’m dead now so obviously I was not paranoid enough. Look out for my sister but DO NOT LET HER BACK INTO THIS MESS.
Thirdly: Thankyou. If you had not been sneaking around trying to fix this mess, I never would have caught on that what my sister was doing was more than some weird fanfiction thing with a bunch of internet nerds. I never would have started investigating. And I might not have found out until too late. This isn’t a guilt trip btw. I’m so glad it was me and not her.
 If you make it through this and manage to tear down crazytown and kill the blob for certain, look her up. I guarantee she’ll be sympathetic to you and do everything she can to look after you. Yes even if she finds out you killed the pink thing, if you at least explain why you did it. She’s forgiving like that.
You can retire the hero thing. And you can look after her. I trust you enough to do that.
Good luck, friend
Arlee
(Aka: Goblin)
(ps: that’s right get friendshipped by the dead lady. Bet pinkie hasn’t pulled *that*one off huh?)
[On a PC disconnected from the server, deep within a labyrinth, a deafening low growl reverberates through the twisting halls.]
[It evolves into a terrifying roar, shaking the walls of this eternal prison.]
[And then... laughter.]
[Laughter that does not stop for a long, long time.]

the ULTIMATE OMORI fanfic recs because one of my favs just ended and it deserves more recognition!!
Okay lets start this off with the one in question (also not in any particular order)
These Days Without You by Smitty1899. absolutely beautiful, please read it this fanfic needs more of a community around it
By Your Side Once More, or, How Sunny Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Occult by Keltikknight. the suzuki siblings and their immaculate sense of humour. thats all i have to say
A New Dawn In Sunless Skies by letos. i wish this one would update again its got such a cool premise.
Sinking and Heroism by TenPes. linking them together because they're not part of a series.
The Faraway Event by kinemortomoli. me putting this here is actually a cry for help. i dont think this fanfic is dead but i cant suffer alone
Tired by Sunburner. this is pretty short and sweet (more like sad, depending on your ending preference)
DEADSPACE by Es_Novels. this one is so eerie as many zombie fanfics are, but i think the imagery makes this one take the cake
Car Trouble by Smitty1899. oh my god
Birthday Picnic by ToxicPineapple. poor kel. he saw mari like a big sister
stuck on one day for the rest of my life by lowbatteryhealth. we as a fandom need more hero angst
Reciting Wrongly by JonRightBackAtcha. not gonna say anything, just read it
Other Half of The Whole by JonRightBackAtcha. did not realise this and 11 were written by the same person. huh.
Fates of Damnation by Anonymous. oh my got two electric boogaloo
heat haze by crowcinthus. as someone who knows nothing about kagerou project wow
The Healing Properties of Reading a Book Out Loud to Your Loved Ones, and Other Domestic Bullshit by Prince_Enby. this ones good even if it hasnt updated in a while
In Which Sunny Is Bad At Naming Things by Prince_Enby. let me introduce you to the chatfic ever
I'll Cherish You Forever by phoeberrie. tiny bit hesitant to recommend this one bc of the themes but there is another fanfic later on this list with similar themes that is basically on every omori rec list ever so just a warning for stalking, obsession and gore. also, heed the tags. its good but not everyone will be comfortable with it.
Sorry as Can Be, For Whatever That Means by JonRightBackAtcha. quite a few fanfics by this author on here. but what can i say, they're great.
sinking. by marlkarx1. this is really good, also pretty dark. heed the tags.
Despite everything by Aisenic_Warrior. another legendary fic with no updates for over a year.
Sometimes a Knife Fight at 3am Can Mend Any Friendship by Shrimp_fry_rice. i dont believe it. you're telling me a shrimp frying rice wrote this fic?
Overwatered Garden by otomerson. rip flower boy lmao (im crying)
Picnic with Mari AU by Gornkleschnitzer. just gonna recommend the whole au
One More Time by GalileoGalilei. think of a 'watching the show' fanfic but its omori post-bad ending. now that i think about it, a version of this fic but they're watching an unserious playthrough on youtube would be kind of funny.
Sometimes Goodbye is a Second Chance by Smitty1899. whatever you're expecting to happen, you're wrong.
Amusia by JonRightBackAtcha. the legend. i wonder how many times this author has appeared on this list.
Kel kicks Sunny's door down by otomerson. attempted hikkikomori route
The Everyday Shenanigans of Something by Practicallyunethical. obsessed with the references in here.
Reality Check, Please by Paramocks. this fanfic has the kind of humour that could kill a christian grandmother.
Endless Dreaming by otomerson. this fanfiction is so beautiful it can make a grown man cry and thats okay (i dont know the quote dont kill me) please read it
Their Time by ShardOfHope. man this fanfic HURTS. you better read it.
The House That Breathes by Shifting_Walls. THIS IS SO GOOD
Broken Space by SpoonusBoius. yes, this fanfic is dark, but i feel people greatly exaggerate it. its not darker than pursuit, don't worry.
The Sun in Another Solar System by TellThemNaegi. if you look through this entire list while only reading one fanfic from here, please let it be this one. i have been totally fixated on this one and it deserves a mini-community of its own just like some other aus.
You're back, Mari by Anonymous. i hope you all expected this one. this is the mentioned one on no.17. im not sure how many trigger warnings i need considering this entire fic is so infamous i'd be shocked if someone didn't know. i don't want to risk spoiling it so just look at the tags. i was debating putting the sequel on here but decided against it. after all, the absolutely visceral reaction the pursuit au can garner from the fandom after just being mentioned probably has enough potential for a case study.
And there it is. the ultimate omori fanfic rec list consisting of 35 fanfic recs (I was originally gonna put way more on here but i got lazy near the end and put only my all time favourites)

Chaka Khan - I Feel For You
Chaka Khan no fue la primera destinataria de esta canción, compuesta en 1979 por 💜PRINCE💜, quien la registró como maqueta, pensada para Tony Sylvester, lider del grupo The Main Ingredient hiciera una primera versión que le sirviese de guía para grabarlaa Little Anthony and The Imperials. Fue Patrice Rushen quien quiso grabarla primero pero al final PRINCE la editó en su disco homónimo de 1979. Después. The Pointer Sister y Rebbie Jackson la grabaron en 1982 y a principios de 1984, respectivamente. La versión de Chaka Khan, la más exitosa y que contaba con la colaboración de Steve Wonder apareció en octubre de 1984
Escrita por 💜PRINCE💜 ✨
Armónica de Stevie Wonder ✨
Rap del gran maestro Melle Mel ✨
Bailarines principales en el video:
Adolpho "Shabba-Doo" Quionnes, Michael "Boogaloo Shrimp" Chambers y Poppin' Taco ✨
Y, por supuesto, la cantante Chaka Khan ✨
Nada más que LEYENDAS por todas partes!
La primera versión del vídeo musical de la canción de Chaka Khan la mostraba trabajando en un club con bailarinas. A medida que la música rap y el breakdance ganaban popularidad en la cultura pop dominante en ese momento, la canción fue lanzada y resultó ser un éxito, por lo que se creó otra versión del video, en un patio del centro de la ciudad.
La directora Jane Simpson , que se había graduado en la escuela de cine de UCLA y trabajó en animación antes de pasar a trabajar en comerciales, fue contratada como directora de lo que sería su primer vídeo musical.
Simpson y la productora que produjo el vídeo de Chaka Khan para la canción ya habían estado trabajando en un vídeo que combinaba algunas de las modas diurnas de principios de los 80 con breakdance y rap .
Simpson ya se había acercado a varios diseñadores que habían rechazado su concepto antes de que Norma Kamali aceptara dejar que sus diseños de ropa aparecieran en el video, que originalmente se tituló "Street Beat", y fue filmado en un estudio simulado para parecerse a la moda multirracial. club de salto Radio-Tron en el área de MacArthur Park en Los Ángeles.
La coreógrafa fue Joanne DiVito; Los bailarines de break que aparecieron en el metraje fueron Shabba Doo , Boogaloo Shrimp , Bruno "Pop N Taco" Falcon y Ana "Lollipop" Sánchez, quienes también aparecieron en la película Breakin' .
A este metraje previo a la filmación se agregaron nuevas imágenes de Chaka Khan y el DJ Chris "The Glove" Taylor tocando un sencillo de 12 pulgadas de color rosa intenso con “Chaka” impreso en la etiqueta, así como a Khan parado cerca de un cerca de tela metálica y otros accesorios, incluidos paneles cubiertos de graffiti, en el escenario de un estudio.
Posteriormente se creó una versión remezclada del video para que coincida con la versión en vinilo de 12 "del sencillo.
PRINCE is MUSIC ✨💜⚜💜✨

Man, I saw this at the G-Ville theater in 1984 and thought this was the coolest thing in the world. Break Dancing was everywhere, most kids, who did not have a very serious case of the whites like me, were doing it. I had my sweet ass parachute pants until about 8 years ago.
Michael "Boogaloo Shrimp" Chambers was and just still might be mesmerizing to watch.

A-T-4 152 David Storrs & Chris "The Glove" Taylor featuring Ice-T
I've learned more about David Storrs. After graduating from UCLA Storrs (as David Stores) shows up as a dancer in Toni Basil's Word Of Mouth video, this is the video that kickstarts her pop career and you can see the video here. Basil had been a dancer and choreographer in Hollywood since the 1960s she was also a founding member of the street dance group The Lockers
Most of the tracks in this post will be from the films Breakin' and Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo (Breakdance in Europe). Shabba-Doo who plays Ozone in these films was also a member of The Lockers. Toni Basil's Word Of Mouth video leads to two specials being made for the BBC, Toni Basil Tape 1 and Toni Basil Tape 2, Shabba-Doo is in both of these specials
In early 1980s in the MacArthur Park area of LA was a place punk rock bands rehearsed but on Fridays between 11pm and 5am it became a club called Radio. This was a fashionable hotspot that attracted celebrities like Madonna, Prince, Michael Jackson, Chaka Khan, and Toni Basil. Being on the scene David Storrs visited Radio Club and it was here where he met DJ Pebo who worked for JDC Records. DJ Pebo introduced Storrs to the Radio Crew. Radio Crew was an impromptu name for the DJ's and MC's who performed at Radio Club. The name came about in 1983 when director Topper Carew produced a documentary about the Radio Club called Breakin' 'n' Enterin'. The Radio Crew were Egyptian Lover, Chris "The Glove" Taylor, Ice T, and Radio Club owner Super AJ (Alex Jordanov). A rare as hens teeth five track Radio Crew EP was pressed up for the Breakin' And Enterin' documentary crew
One of the featured b boys in Breakin' And Enterin' is (the other guy credited with teaching Michael Jackson the backslide) Boogaloo Shrimp. He was a well respected b boy at Radio Club and would be cast as Turbo in the films Breakin' and Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo
David Storrs and DJ Pebo formed a record label called ElectroBeat and promptly signed The Glove, Ice T, and another Radio Club MC 14-year-old Kid Frost. Rough Cut by Kid Frost would be first release for ElectroBeat
David Storrs seems to be a bit of a polymath. As well as dancing with Toni Basil he had a BSc in Electrical Engineering and was in-house composer, producer, and musician at Valley of the Sun Publishing (see Sunday's post). Storrs released New Age music for Valley Of The Sun as a solo artist and as part of the group Upper Astral. Kid Frost gave Storrs the name "The Alien Wizard" for all the creative and unique tracks that he laid. In 1985 Kid Frost and David Storrs would release Terminator, a track that was popular in the UK thanks to its inclusion on Street Sounds Electro 9, this being my era I can still recite all the words to this track
The Glove was a scratch DJ but on Kid Frost's Rough Cut they use World Class Wreckin Crew DJ and future member of NWA, Yella. ElectroBeat's second released was Ice-T's double A-side Killers/Body Rock. Ice-T's name for David Storrs was "Davey PHD". It wasn't until ElectroBeat's third release that David Storrs would collaborate with The Glove, the result is the remarkable Itchiban [not Ichiban] Scratch
The studio engineer Victor Flores also worked on Itchiban Scratch, Flores had worked with The Glove earlier producing megamixes like the ones I shared here
I've also shared Itchiban Scratch but as this is David Storrs and Chris "The Glove" Taylor's first release together here's an extract from the long b-side
youtube
Chris “The Glove” Taylor & Dave Storrs with Karlos Z and Victor Flores - Itchiban's Bonus Beats (extract) everybody loves a 303
DJ Pebo and David Storrs timing couldn't have been better. After watching Breakin' 'n' Enterin' a representative of Cannon Films turned up at Radio Club with an offer to film a low-budget movie there. Carmelo Alvarez who had been given the building accepted. Working in David Storrs' garage studio The Glove and Storrs produced an instrumental called Reckless which they submitted to be used in the film. Ice T and the Glove were given parts in the movie, essentially playing themselves. Ice T added a vocal to Reckless (and apparently this inspires Eminem to take up rapping). The film was Breakin' and it was the surprise hit of the summer. Storrs, The Glove, and Ice T also contribute a second track to the film, Tibetan Jam which is used in the famous first battle scene
youtube
Here's the instrumental (don't worry I'll get to Reckless)
youtube
Chris "The Glove" Taylor & David Storrs feat. Ice T - Tibetan Jam
You may have noticed that the graffiti behind Ice T and The Glove in the above film clip reads Radio♥︎Tron. The writer Craze originally sprayed up Radio Club but Super AJ protested. The word "Club" got buffed and replaced with "Tron" (probably because of the movie Tron). The name stuck and between 1983 until it closed in 1986 Radio Club became the legendary RadioTron, a cultural mecca for West Coast breakers and grafitti artists
Tibetan Jam isn't included on the Breakin' soundtrack album but it does appear as the b-side of the single version of Reckless released by major label Polydor
youtube
Chris "The Glove" Taylor & David Storrs feat. Ice T - Reckless
Reckless is a well respected track and it gave the soundtrack to Breakin' some authenticity. The Breakin' OST is at all bad
Chaka Khan contributed her and Rufus's 1983 hit Aint Nobody to the Breakin' OST. When it came to the video for her next single I Feel For You in the Autumn of 1984 a set was built to look like RadioTron. The Glove was cast again as the DJ. Breakin' stars Shabba-Doo and Boogaloo Shrimp were featured dancers along side other RadioTron regulars Bruno "Pop N Taco" Falcon and Ana "Lollipop" Sánchez - both of whom appear in Breakin'
youtube
Chris "The Glove" Taylor & David Storrs feat. Ice T - Reckless (Instrumental)
Capitalising on the box office success of Breakin' and the time sensitive popularity of breakin' (which would fall out of fashion in the US but as with turntablism and graffiti would be kept growing in Europe then make its way back to the US in the late 1990s) Cannon Pictures quickly put out Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo by the end of 1984. This might seem an incredible feat if you don't know Cannon Pictures
Chris "The Glove" Taylor and Ice T reprise their roles in the second film. Although Chris "The Glove" Taylor, David Storrs, and Ice T don't appear on the Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo soundtrack album their tracks are used in the film in key scenes. The first is a new version of Reckless with different words known as "Reckless Rivalry Combat" or simply "Combat"
youtube
Chris "The Glove" Taylor & David Storrs feat. Ice T - Reckless Rivalry Combat
youtube
Chris "The Glove" Taylor & David Storrs feat. Ice T - Party People (Go Off) then there's this "Party People (Go Off)" from the RadioTron club scene
David Storrs also released the single "Dancing On The Planet" in 1984 but it's a bit meh. He would continue with ElectroBeat for another year and then move into soundtracks (including one opposite Chaz Jankel). Whilst doing this Storrs would continue to make New Age music. His contribution to West Coast electro and hip hop is sadly forgotten
Chris "The Glove" Taylor now goes by the name Glove. He would become a producer and engineer for Death Row and Aftermath Records. His own group Po' Broke & Lonely were signed to Eazy-E's Ruthless Records. He's rightly considered a West Coast hip hop pioneer
