#I enjoy breaking laws of Minecraft this way

[aurorialwolf]

Ok I’m feeling better (got burnt out) so now I’m gonna continue my posts about next gen redacted ocs!! I made a custom tag for these posts, so you can click that to see the rest of them :D (it’s tagged on this post)

This time: David’s son, Dante!

- His full name is Dante Gabriel Shaw

- His nickname is probably smth like Danny, so Davey and Danny lol

- He looks a lot like Gabe, his eyes being closer in shade to Gabe’s than David’s, and his facial structure & hair being very similar as well. This makes David both happy and a little sad, which Dante doesn’t understand until he’s a little older and David explains everything about Gabe to him.

- David brings him and Angel to visit Gabe’s grave regularly, and they leave dahlia flowers and honeysuckles (which i stole from other ppls flower hcs sry fhksdhjs)

- He’s besties with Ashlyn (Asher’s daughter) because of course

- He has a sort of inner circle who are all his friends in the pack, so that includes Samuel Jr., Ashlyn, and Milo’s daughter

- He’s always acted like a mini alpha, protecting his friends like David does, he started mimicking David when he was 2, attempting to do speeches to the rest of the pack toddlers

- He shifted for the first time when he was 14, a week before the winter solstice, and while it was painful, he managed pretty okay. His shifted form is very similar to his dad’s (large black wolf in my hc), but with a white swirl pattern on his right flank.

- He is the most responsible in his friend group, making sure they’re all eating, they’re on time, etc. would absolutely be the guy who has all the papers and passports when they go on an international trip.

- He may act a lot like his dad, having a gruff exterior, but it’s mostly a cover, and he can be a little goofball sometimes, like his other parent (Angel)

- He loves playing minecraft, started when he was 5, and co-ops with Angel often to make cool builds

Ok now for official alpha / security company stuff that he’d do!!

- He’s David’s only kid (in this version of things) so he’s naturally expected to become Alpha

- So, he often shadows his dad to important events, as well as security gigs

- One of the major things is he accompanies his dad to Solaire-hosted events, and while his dad greets William and shakes hands with him, Dante greets Emilie (William’s daughter), and shakes hands with her.

- She enjoys messing with him, and has held him in a couple second trance to see how he reacts (like I said in her post, she’s not great with mortals), which he eventually, after a couple meetings, can reliably break out of.

- Usually at these events, he stands around with his dad mostly separated from the vampires, interacting only with those who approach them, because David is worried about him being vulnerable to attacks or trances

- Luckily for him, Samuel Jr. (Sam’s son) is a regular attendee at these events, as William invites him, Vivienne (Vincent’s daughter), and their parents. Of course, Samuel is very protective of his friends, so whenever Dante has been at risk, he’s protected him, albeit maybe too violently, but it gets his point across.

- Now I feel like it’s a good time to mention that Samuel jr and Dante are boyfriends / eventual mates!! So it adds an extra layer considering Samuel has a rightful claim to him (the magic bite thingy), mostly for the purpose of being allowed by vampire law to protect him somewhat violently 👍 (Samuel also visits Gabe’s grave independently to leave flowers, because he’s paranoid about getting permission to date and eventually propose to Dante cuz blah blah tradition even though Gabe wouldn’t care if he were alive)

- He also shadows his dad on security gigs, learning all the best ways to keep large groups safe and orderly in case of an emergency. He also gets properly trained in gun use, just in case, and does pretty alright (they train at a typical gun range after he gets the proper licenses)

- Dante eventually heads his own event security gig, and manages pretty well. He’s doing it with his group of friends, so they goof off a bit over radio, which he scolds them for, though lightheartedly

- He does experience some rough gigs, not ever quite inversion level but there was a time when a clan of vampires descended on a large event being held in a stadium that had similar levels of danger, with luckily less losses

- One day, when Dante is ~25, David gets pretty sick, though is not in any danger, simply is somewhat immobilized and can’t perform his usual duties. Asher takes over, as a beta typically does, but starts trying to convince Dante to take over as alpha, which has been a previous conversation before, especially between Dante and David, but Asher is now making it a bit more urgent, and Dante is resistant to the idea.

- Dante says something along the lines of David not being dead, just sick, so he doesn’t need to take over yet, since he’s scared of taking over so soon. Asher flinches at that, and things become awkward. He eventually apologizes, but Asher insists it’s okay.

- Dante takes some convincing, but eventually decides to step up and take over, after David promises to support him in learning his duties.

- He picks Ashlyn to be his beta, and she does a good job! His takeover of the pack goes pretty well, mostly because everyone was expecting it anyways. David recovers fully, and helps him keep everything orderly, and keeps being in charge of the security company for a few more years before signing that over to him as well.

tbf there also many times where c!Dream has admitted to enjoying people's suffering and saying how much he enjoys chaos with the cc confirming that. There have been many characters to say it and show it so I'm not sure if that's the best example to use to define chaotic evil or if he classifies as neutral good and going by minecraft logic in the case for Cquackity then griefing and stealing for any character isn't a big deal in comparison to characters that say they enjoy torture and do it, or characters that blow up entire nations like c!wilbur.

[context]

To be fair, chaotic alignment isn’t necessary about actual “chaos” as it is about defying boundaries for the sake of freedom and such. (I swear I tried really hard to understand this dnd based alignment system and it’s almost too simple and yet complex at the same time). If it was about actual chaos then George would by far be in that alignment as he is unpredictable and loves to wreak chaos more so then Wilbur… but more importantly, I’ve talked a bunch about Dream being a notorious liar and performer. As such, I cannot emphasize enough how the context of what he’s saying is so important to get an accurate view, especially because we don’t get his pov. So even if he admits to enjoying chaos, and other people’s suffering, the context is important to understand if it’s true and why he might etc. In general though, his behavior (excluding the dramatic villain act), doesn’t seem to be to hurt others, rebel or cause chaos.

I’m addition, Dream is not classified as lawful as he does not abide by a set code, strict guidelines or authority. His actions change based on the situation and whose side he’s on, which tends to be whoever has been wronged. To the point he’ll break his own rules for the sake of fairness, equality, peace and justice. So he may help Tommy burn the Eiffel Tower one minute to avenge Tommy’s cow and Niki’s fox, but fight Tommy one second later for killing Ponk for no reason. But everyone I put in the good alignment have often done things for other people despite it not benefiting them. (Huh, perhaps that is why they are some of the most taken advantaged of and dehumanized characters…)

Anyways, we aren’t really talking about the other characters, just these 9 I was given so whether other people also expressed enjoyed of suffering or whatever is irrelevant… and yes given the lawless and destructive world of the dsmp, stealing and destroying can be considered less evil then stating an enjoyment of torture. Which is in last why, since that applies to Sam, Quackity and Tommy, who have actively participated in and expressed enjoyment from torturing and hurting people in one way or another, it makes sense to put them in the evil alignment. As far as Wilbur goes, I couldn’t exactly have multiple in the same box, otherwise he probably would be in chaotic evil. But as I did it by more extremes and he doesn’t just like torture people (even if he fantasized it) he gets put in neutral as a more so selfish but not necessarily malicious. (if blowing up nations is the definer of alignment then are we saying Dream, Techno, and Philza are all in the evil alignment as well as Wilbur, to which I hope we can all disagree with)… but um yea if you are confused about my placement of Dream and Tommy I recommend reading some of my other posts where I’ve talked about it more…

Hello, I’m here to gush a bit about your AU, if you don’t mind

The premise itself is actually so cool like? it’s not something I’ve ever thought of or seen done before, but the moment you introduced it I knew I’d love it. I’m a sucker for your art, specifically how you draw Pearl, and I absolutely adore all of the designs for this. Scrolling down to read that not only have you written fic for it, but 120k words at that, was a wonderful surprise and I had a great time last night reading what’s come out so far all in one sitting.

I really enjoy the writing itself. You’ve got a nice style, and the way you describe the scene makes one feel like you’re really there. The first bits of banter between Pearl and Gem made it clear they were going to be a fun duo to read about, and I’m delighted that they’re sticking together so far. Your dialogue and characterization is super fun and witty, and your specific interpretation of Pearl in particular isn’t one I see too often, but stays true to her actual self / character and for sure makes for a fun POV to see everything through. All the little details, like how an elytra looks or how it feels to jump into a pool of water to break a landing, really bring the story to life, feeling realistic and true to the laws of the Minecraft universe.

The plot is wonderfully set up in the first couple chapters and makes me really look forward to reading the new updates as they come out, and I do love a good mystery. Where did Grian go? How did things end up so badly? How do those connect? How are they fixed, if at all? Makes for some wonderful brainrot and I will be rotating this in my mind for the next few business weeks, thank you <3

-🌙

oh Absolutely feel free to drop all the commentary, i can’t get enough of hearing people’s thoughts and this made me so happy to read, thank you so much!! i really enjoyed working on this story and put a lot into it (if the word count tells you anything lol) and i’m excited to see how people react going forward

there was a while during planning where i wondered if pearl pov would be too odd of a choice for a s7 conflict, so i’m glad it’s made things fun so far :] and i know it’s not as widespread fanon as grian’s, but i’ve always thought her EVO pov had a lot of underutilized potential in terms of backstory, so i’ve really liked pulling that in as an influence over her thinking/motives, too

and speaking of grian… yeah i’m sure everything’s just fine and normal don’t even worry about it

A Dutch supermarket chain introduced ‘slow checkouts’ for people who enjoy chatting, helping many people, especially the elderly, deal with loneliness. The move has proven so successful that they installed the ‘slow checkouts’ in 200 stores.

Learning Tekken 8 Journal - Day 3

It's been a bit, got wrapped up in a minecraft phase lol. But yeah, onto learning more characters! Here's my thoughts:

Reina: I still don't feel like I know this character all that well. Normally I would play their character story and call it a day from there, but Reina's is the first one I've run into that is locked until I beat the main story (which I'm waiting on until I'm familiar with everybody). That being said, Reina is really cool. Pretty high in execution (she's a Mishima, I am not surprised), but I feel like if I were to watch a beginner guide to her and figure out what her overall gameplan is, she would be very rewarding to learn. I will revisit her once I'm done with main story (as I will with the other locked characters) but yeah, she's cool.

Azucena - This character seems very braindead in all the funniest ways. She has a stance that just... auto parries mids and lows? She can dance all around you and make you look like an idiot, and I think that is very funny. She's pretty responsive to play too, she feels very quick and snappy. I honestly don't mind her at all. Not my favorite, but not bad.

Shaheen - I don't really get who this character is for, or what he does particularly well. He seems alright but just has NO sauce. Those grabs where he does the neck snaps are kinda cool tho. Meh.

Law - I remembered liking Law in T3, so I had pretty high hopes, but they have been exceeded. Law is currently up there with Victor in terms of who I have the most fun with. Something about his kit just feels so natural to me? Like I press a button in a direction and it just does what I would expect it to do, even without knowing him that well. That is not a given in this game! Characters have all kinds of niche moves you'll activate by mistake just by inputting, say, diagonal instead of perfectly straight in a direction. With Law, sure he has those moves, but they're not different enough from the move you were trying to do to throw things off too much (most of the time). Really enjoyed my time with Law, and especially got a kick out of his character episode.

Kuma - I know I'm breaking sequence here, but consider this: I dressed him up as Freddy Fazbear. Anyways, Kuma seems much more playable here than in T3. Not good, mind you, but like, easily the best he's ever been (I assume). I like them working some of Heihachi's moves into his kit, and I like some of the goofy moves he has. Obviously he's a troll character but he's not a bad one at all.

So yeah, my current main is Law/Victor, but we'll see how that holds up. I'm only like a third of the way through the cast and there's a couple characters I still have high hopes for (including Leroy, who's up next in the list!)

happy one year anniversary since my departure & six years of this blog!!!

hey, everyone! Unfortunately I’m not here to write or post any fanfics and I have no plans of doing such. I just wanted to say hi and commemorate today for all those who remember me and might be curious on how I’m doing! I’m very much alive and well :D 

I will say I very much miss this blog and my interactions with everyone. Writing still holds such an important place in my heart and I look back at the time I used to write like a psycho very fondly haha. Sometimes I really miss that time in my life. On that note, my plans of publishing a book have not really moved forward. I’m still on square one with brainstorming ideas and searching for inspo. But my intentions of publishing still have not changed!! I will definitely write a book within this lifetime!!!!!!! No matter how long it takes goddammit!

On another note, I hope everyone’s been well! I was able to graduate from uni earlier this month! And I’m happy to announce I’ve also been admitted into law school. On a more sour note, I’ll have to move away from my hometown and away from my parents — I’m not very excited about it, but I’ve sort of come to accept it. It’ll be a big change and certainly an experience. So law school will be what’s in store for me for the next three years. (I hope I find some inspo there lol)

Believe it or not, I still occasionally check this blog and read the messages that the few of you leave for me! :D It makes me feel nostalgic, melancholic, but also very happy! 

I haven’t been keeping up with BTS that much but I hear that they’re taking a break + they’re gonna do some solo activities and honestly I think that’s the right choice. I’m very much looking forward to seeing what each member has in store and to see their moment in the spotlight.

While I haven’t been keeping up with kpop too too much, I’ve returned to reading a shit ton of manga + manhuas, and I’ve sort of returned to the minecraft community on youtube which I was a part of in 2013ish LOL. I’m just a casual viewer, don’t worry. Content creation beyond writing doesn’t really spark my interest.  

Anyway, I hope everyone’s been enjoying their summer! I’ll be heading to Korea next month with my family for 2 weeks and hopefully to Japan next year! (I’m fairly excited.) 

I think I’ll be doing an annual check-in with this blog every anniversary just as a way to commemorate the occasion until the inevitable day that tumblr shuts down. After that, whenever I publish a book, I’ll advertise it on my ao3. But until that day comes, see you next year! :D :>

He was born November 24 1965. He’s currently 56, but I usually write him in his late 40s in most fanfic and content I make. So there’s this middle aged man....

He has hazel eyes. Sometimes they look green, sometimes brown. Sometimes they’ll be white but that’s when he’s using his magic so mind your business

Gear brand over his heart >:)c

:) i think he has piercings and tattoos, a skull (dead man teehee) on his upper arm, a tattoo of a date (the date pickles and him first met TEEHEE) on his left arm also has a tattoo on his arm of the day he “died” on his right. had his ears pierced when he was a teen.

Has a sweet tooth so hard. Smuggles in treats into the drawers of his desk just to snack on during the day and has a mini fridge just filled with ice cream and also sorts of other goodies. He loves brownies and cookies the most

Likes to work out and keep himself in shape. it takes his mind off of stressful things like work and the boys, and just take his morning practice sparring and doing various exercises in the mordhaus gym. 

he’s uh also very flexible so he does yoga a lot when he exercises. don’t. look too deep into that

cannot cook to save his life. he almost burned mordhaus down trying to make himself a sandwich

he can play guitar! he used to play it more often when he was younger but he rarely has the time to play it nowadays. when he does get to play it, it’s usually in private (and mainly songs by dethklok), or it’s to show off to a certain lead guitarist that yes he is playing that solo wrong

he’s ambidextrous but prefers using his right hand. he’ll use his left hand to spar in order to go easy on his opponents because hes a smug cunt

he’s 5′7 but intimidation factor adds a couple inches doesn’t it

has a scorpion named princess as a pet. he lets her sit on his desk sometimes and it scares the shit out of dethklok which makes charles laugh on the inside

hes also a cat person. one time toki brought a cat home and it settled on charles’ lap and he almost cried

loves to be a smug asshole and relishes in it. will not take shit from anyone, especially from some asshole who is trying to pull one over on him

he has no idea how social media works at all. will print memes out to show to dethklok, he’s very fond of cat memes specifically (i can has cheeseburger type beat)

he has no idea what any internet memes means he isn’t going to start learning. he is going to misuse internet phrases. are you boys, ah, finding the imposter? [cue five groans from dethklok]

knows a lot of languages. not a comprehensive list but: french, swedish, norwegian, spanish, italian, japanese, chinese, german, russian and korean

is very competitive. scarily competitive. once he starts losing in smash or mario kart all hell will break lose

very bad at showing emotions or affection, when he gets compliments he gets all red and quiet and mumbles a thank you. 

weird about being touched as well and will usually avoid it unless it’s with someone he trusts

speaking of, his love language is acts of service :)c

hates being called charlie or chuck, unless the right person calls him it ;)

he’s autistic. was nonverbal for most of his life and only talked to certain people, or anyone at all. he stims with his hands and uses his pens to fidget.

has a collection of novelty socks. he likes the ones that have polka dots or stripes

sleeps with a garfield plushie he had since he was younger. it helps him with the nightmares

when any of the boys need help sleeping (usually toki or pickles), he’ll sleep with them in his bed. after dying he had trouble sleeping some nights, so dethklok returned the favor and all piled up in his bed and helped him sleep. he didnt have nightmares after that night

hes nearsighted, and prefers to wear glasses over contacts

lactose intolerant, hes still eating mac n cheese and paying the price

metalhead but pretends to not be just to mess with his boys

crippling addiction to match 3 games. also loves to play minecraft.

overly self sacrificial. puts ones he love needs before his own, results in himself being very isolated and distant from those he cares about because he’s afraid of hurting them

his favorite colors are black and purple

coffee kinda guy. black coffee or bust

has a lot of cute novelty mugs to put his coffee in. he ones from places where dethklok tours, dethklok official ones (the only two that aren’t adorned with spikes), some cat themed ones, a couple that have ties and math references, and one from his boys that says “most brutal manager”. he drinks out of that last one the most

he has a couple of grey hairs and wrinkles, but he keeps them because they remind him that he’s human. also pickles said old men were hot but you didnt hear that from me

likes to play chess but he can never find a good opponent. all the klokateers are too scared if they win and dethklok is too distracted to ever play with him or they end up losing to quickly if charles plays against them

really wants kids. he babies his sister’s sons and daughters a TON (uncle charles always brings the best gifts :) ) and also treats toki like his own son in a way. toki doesnt mind, he really appreciates the love

speaking of, toki does call charles dad once and it makes charles cry for like. a week and a half

his favorite dethklok song is the gears :)

he likes to collect knives as a side hobby, his favorite of his collection is a sleek black one with skulls on the handle

he has a motorcycle and likes to drive it around sometimes to just be alone with himself. it’s all black with a red gear on it

lightweight but only if he drinks the amount dethklok drinks. can hold his alcohol fairly well if he drinks like a sensible human, prefers brandy and wine

he can smoke cigars to be sexy for me and me ONLY

likes to read in his spare time. he likes mystery novels and science fiction

he has soft spot for cheesy sitcoms, they’re his guilty pleasure

his favorite youtuber is lockpickinglawyer. yours should be too

usually sleeps in only his boxers but will wear a shirt if its’s cold. he tends to sleep on his side (also wants to be the little spoon when cuddled but he will never admit that)

takes vacations sometimes away from the boys despite his worry that something will go wrong (it will!). many of his vacations are usually going to visit his family and going to the shore with them, or travelling to somewhere new for a change (cue charles being a yakuza substory on his one vacation per year)

he can sew pretty well. learned from his mom and used to sew the whole his sister use to put through her soccer uniform.

can also do makeup, and usually does it for one of the boys of there’s no one else around to help

bites his lip when he’s nervous. which is a lot

likes chococat and gudetama. he’s a man of tastes

laughs really loud if you catch him off guard. he snorts sometimes too. he’s embarrassed by it, but i think its’ cute

loves law and order obviously 

he likes men

has a lot of pent up rage. very good at compressing it. sometimes

as high priest, he stays up very late trying to decipher the ancient prophecies that dethklok needed to fulfill. he doesnt sleep very much when he starts out because he misses home, so the band makes him come back (or else)

also as high priest he becomes more intune with magic granted to him after he died and he mainly uses his magic to protect his boys when they go back to being a band. also to fuck with them

the band he managed before dethklok was a band named savior who said they were a metal band with a unique sound, but that unique sound was actually just being a christian metal band that were bad at playing music. they also treated charles like shit and blamed him for them doing so poorly with sales and shows. had an unfortunate “accident” with a tour bus after charles had enough of their attitude towards him.  he denies he had anything to do with it (he did.)

Family/Childhood

He’s the baby of the family. Spoiled rotten to the max. He doesn’t admit it though but whenever he comes home you know he abuses the “:)c im the favorite” card

He has 4 older sisters: Caroline who is a high school civics teacher, Cynthia who is a librarian, Callie who is a coach for a soccer team, and Charlotte who is a lawyer/manager who manages Ladyklok, which gets awkward (and funny) when Abigail starts dating the lead singer Natalie

charles is actually one of the tallest in his family. his dad is 6’1 and his older sister Callie is 5’11. cynthia is 5’6, caroline is 5’6, and his mom and charlotte are 5’5.

his mom is a doctor and his dad is an accountant. his mom’s name is giovanna and his dad’s name is elijah

caroline is the oldest sister, followed by cynthia, callie, charlotte then charles.

Charlotte and Charles are sworn enemies since they were born on the same day a year apart and basically have the same job. They do love each other though

His father calls him Charles. Caroline and Cynthia call him Charlie. Callie calls him Chuck. Charlotte calls him Charles (derogatory). His mom calls him a whole slew of nicknames that she made up when he was young (she calls him cheese ball and he turns red)

caroline has a wife (lauren who is a chef) and two kids (evan and shelby)

cynthia is dating a coworker (viola)

callie has a husband (john who is a stay at home dad) and they have three kids (brenda, melissa, and jeff)

charlotte is dating ladyklok (and abigail). this is a weird flex on charles i think.

He had a race car bed when he was like 5

He also was also one of those kids at family game night. He almost killed Cynthia over a game of monopoly

Always got to lick the spoon first after his mom baked brownies

He grew up in North Jersey (derogatory) (also yes im projecting state shot)

He’s also Italian (derogatory)

He got bullied in middle school for a little bit but once his older sisters found out, oh boy did all hell break loose

Was in band in high school. He played flute (DONT TALK TO ME I LIKE PROJECTING), he was of course a soloist and incredibly smug about it

Took gymnastics as a kid. Can do a backflip on command. Also very flexible.

First manager gig was helping his sisters sell girl scout cookies. They raked in a lot of profits when baby bro was behind the scenes. His cut was eating thin mints for free

Loved Star Trek when he was a kid

Was incredibly gifted, and taught himself to read at a young age. didn’t talk that much though

was always sick when he was little. he would always get sinus infections and colds if someone even sneezed weird

was in mock trial in high school. one guy on his team was a jerk to him so charles made it a point to be this poor kid’s nemesis

was on the student council, treasurer of course.

was also in nhs, and he was treasurer there too

was that kid who insisted on doing the group project by himself because he didn’t want to wait on anyone to finish their part

was super rowdy as a kid, always got into trouble but his mom was a little lenient of punishment (hes a mommas boy)

when he was like super young he bit people cause he was just a little monster (charles' sisters: mom charles is biting again. charles, biting one of them: im not :/ sheesh)

wanted to be a lawyer since he was 7

put his own siblings and parents on trial and would win every trial and would always get the last cookie or a higher allowance

he shared his room with his sister Charlotte and they would set up a pillow fort on one of the beds and stay up late reading together 

loved going to the beach as a kid, his mom still has his collection of shells from the beach

on the boardwalk, he would dominate at claw machines anad carnival games. he won a bunch of plushies from himself (and his sisters obviously)

his dad and him have a super close bond. they watched star trek together and also like to watch how the stock market would do. his dad was also sometimes the judge in charles’ mock trials at home

they were very supportive when he came out as gay, he was also the first of his sibilings to come out of the closet

College

Got his masters in business management at rutgers and a JD (law degree) from seton hall law.

Started college when he was 18 (1983) and ended college when he was 26 (1991)

Wasn’t a party guy. Never got invited to many, but he never went unless a certain redhead was in town

Sustained himself off of ramen, coffee, and SSRIs to get his masters (hey man i feel ya)

Did weed like three times. Three of those times were because of, you guessed it, a certain redhead

Speaking of, his first time having sex was in his dorm with Pickles. Pickles also kicked him off of the bed (those beds are fucking tiny) while they slept, and almost burned Charles’ dorm down trying to make toast the next morning

Absolute did not do essays until the night before. Bad habit that made it’s way into Dethklok managing when he’s forced to write a legal brief before 12 am.

Loved calculus 2 for some reason. Nerd

Had a mullet. Pickles thought it was hot (still is) while Charles would rather die than remember anything about that horrid hairdo

Also went through his goth/emo phase while in Law School. He stuck out amongst the sea of sweater vests and polo shirts

Was in a band with his fellow college bandmates. The band was called Habeas Corpses and he was the lead singer who also played guitar. Their sound was kind of similar to TWRP’s first two EPs (The Device and 2nite). they had a grunge aesthetic, and yes charles dyed his mullet black (with a purple streak), for the band.

his bandmates were all fellow law students. dillan was on drums, margaret was their bass guitar, and nick was their keyboardist. all three of them also got tutored by charles while in law school. they are still best friends and write to each other sometimes

Was on the debate team, but uh kicked off due to be very competitive (he threatened to punch the opposing debater)

Was also in the chess club, also kicked off for being too competitive (lunged at a kid for cheating)

After being kicked from the two previous clubs, he joined fencing, his very competitive nature made him the best in the state

nick (the guy in charles’ band) was charles’ roommate the whole time they were in college. they may or may not have had a brief relationship before they realized they would be better as friends

nick also has a nes and charles loved to played zelda and wrote an entire guide for himself because he’s was that into the game (nerd)

occasionally would be found sleeping in the library on campus

wanted to be an RA but the resident association at his schools thought he was a little much. charles took this as a compliment

worked out a lot between studying and classes. a lot of jocks underestimated him because of his size but charles was just :) [casually lifts something heavy]

a lot of fellow classmates thought he was super cool cause of the leather he wore, and how cool and quiet he was, too bad they didnt know he was a huge nerd

tried skateboarding. once.

had a cadillac that barely started and drove like a piece of shit but that was charles’ baby

pickles tried to have sex with charles in said car btw, charles almost killed him for even daring to suggest to tarnish his beautiful baby

has damaged his back permanently because of all the books he used to carry around in his crappy back pack

did some modelling for one of his friends in college. he was very attractive and got some other modelling job through it. he tries to hide that from the boys in the future because he thinks it’s embarrassing

Relationship with Dethklok

Pickles - he’s known the drummer the longest out of any other member, and if you couldn’t tell by now, he had a brief relationship with the drummer back in the 80s (and maybe also still has a crush on him :)). charles respects and admires pickles’ talent as a musician and sometimes they play together when they have time alone. he tries to be there when pickles has a relapse in either emotions with his family or something else, but still tries to maintain a distance because he thinks that pickles doesn’t feel the same as he did in the 80s. (he does btw). nothing could break the bond these two share. not even death

Nathan - understands nathan’s quiet nature (nonverbal kings!) and strive for perfection in everything dethklok creates because he is the same way. their similarities allow them to connect on a level that allows nathan to open up about his feelings that he likes to lock away. nathan also gets charles to open his feelings up and actually care for himself for once in his damn life. charles also helps nathan with the depression he develops after charles dies and how to deal with it despite it being not brutal. nathan wants to give back and he does by becoming one of charles’ closest friends (and maybe even lovers hehehe)

Toki - charles has taken it upon himself to be toki’s father figure after seeing the way toki’s family has left him for essentially dead. ever since toki joined the band, charles has made it a point to be there for him whenever he needed it. even if it meant spending late nights reading to toki or sleeping over in toki’s room to help him sleep, he’ll do it. he blames himself for toki’s disappearance but toki assures him that he did the best he could. toki calls him dad a lot after doomstar. it makes charles cry.

Skwisgaar - unstoppable asshole meets immovable object. skwisgaar sees himself above everyone else like he does with the other dethklok members but with charles, skwisgaar knows that charles isn’t intimidated by him nor will he bow to the guitar god in anyway. this develops a game of cat and mouse between the two, with skwisgaar trying to no subtly push charles’ buttons and to see what makes him ticks, while charles resist him at every turn with a smug ‘:) is that all you got’ and it delights him to finally see the guitarist squirm under pressure.

Murderface - at first the two are very. distant to say the least. murderface used to see charles as unemotional robot and charles was fine with that and accepted the distance. overtime however, and especially after charles died, murderface warmed up to charles confiding in him things he hasn’t told the band, mainly things about his insecurities because charles is ‘fucking smart with crap like this’. and charles helps him and is happy to see him work out his problems and not bottle them anymore like the rest of his bandmates. charles also enjoys murderface’s company as a friend as well. and….he’s gonna help murderface the most with the whole traitor stuff too.

Abigail - mlm and wlw hostility. but seriously they’re good buds. he sympathizes with having to deal the moronic actions of dethklok on a daily basis and also thinks she’s really intelligent and overall fun to hang out with. they take lunch breaks frequently together and like to make fun of people at dethklok dinners together as a fun activity together. abigail will bully his ass once she finds out she’s dating charles’ sister and WILL bring up those baby pictures to get a higher raise thank you very much

Knubbler - can you say coworker besties! like abigail, he gets along because they both have to deal with dethklok being, well dethklok, but with knubbler, charles can relax a little more. the two cause problems on purpose just because they can. the two are also close friends and knubbler tries to get charles to relax for once in his life, and despite charles protests and objections, he sometimes caves and hands out with his friend (maybe boyfriend OOOOO who knows)

Sex Headcanons (IM SORRY)

um maybe he can have a giant dick (10 inches for me), it do be swinging though

daddy kink (everyone stay on this side, ill take care of him….come to daddy ;)c)

likes to do roleplay. he has a lot of costumes prepared for when his partner wants to do a scene with him

likes to bite and be bitten during sex. after a very long night, he’ll be covered in bite marks, it’s kinda hot

no gag reflex ;) he likes to deepthroat but good luck trying to get him to go down on you without him teasing

remember how i said he was flexible like eight times? yeah he uh, uses that a lot to his advantage. likes being fucked in weird positions because of it

the suit stays on during sex

he likes topping because he likes to be in control of everything he does all the time, but really wants to be told what to do sometimes and will let those he trusts do that for him

he has a dick piercing i know it

he's a very busy man, so he relies on his huge collection of toys he keeps in his bedroom and office

really good with his hands. as soon as those hands are on you, its game over

he loves to do it on his desk, makes him feel powerful. when he gets blown under his desk, it really takes all of his willpower to not cum immediately

really sensitive in weird places, specifically his ears

he likes to cuddle after sex, hes the little spoon :)

likes to be tied up, sometimes he’ll get tied up under his suit

mating press and riding are his favorite positions, giving and receiving

size queen, likes large toys and well ;)

has a private room that he sometimes goes to relieve stress, it has a fucking machine that he likes to use often when his job gets too stressful

he’s sucking people off at the klokateer glory hole, he’s uh, very good at what he does

likes to be spanked and like to spank

uses collars and leashes

maybe the klokateers can fuck him, if they’re good ;)

freeballing

likes cum on his face but doesn't seem to realize that means he’ll get cum on his glasses and will need to clean them

he can wear a chastity belt :) for me

likes being came in but will still complain about being gross after

pretty much up for anything, he’s not picky, he just wants to be in control and get off

[lispectore]

idk if its just me but every time i see someone breaking down and heavily analyzing dsmp characters i can't really read through it seriously lol. like with the c!dream apologist/ tommy apologist and sam stuff i just don't really get it, cause in my eyes its literally just a minecraft roleplay lmao. like i LOVE the lore and everything and i enjoy every single character a lot but i just don't see the point in psychoanalyzing everything as if its historical literature or something. Props to anyone who is able to analyze the characters and stuff so well, but like u said if we were to really break down every part of the smp the same way people tend to break down c!dream or c!tommy or c!sam, we'd have way too much weird and gruesome stuff to deal with so i don't really get it when people get super mad or argumentative over characters, especially since they're acted out through mostly improv and the ccs aren't paid actors with strict scripts and prewritten character development like in high budget shows and films

i don’t mind when people do these super detailed analysis of characters from the smp, but i do have a problem when people try to see it through the lens of a “normal society”. i could argue that the dsmp is a dystopia, so the morals of that server are always going to be bent and inherently grey, almost like “survival of the fittest”, but the fittest here means power/manipulation. it’s like if u sat down in a room and started discussing books like the hunger games or battle royale. we know that everything that is happening there is fucked up, but when we’re analysing it from the point of view of the society that they’re living in. people here tend to want to analyse the dsmp as if they were normal people living in a fair society, the moral compass of the server has always been broken because they’re living in a “dystopia”. 

there’s nothing wrong in find solace or relating to these characters, because i know that a lot of people do that, but you can’t forget that they’re not you and that they live through different rules and laws of their own society that is not like the one that we live in.

THE CRIMSON FLOWER ROUTE CORPORATE UNION AU

Yeah it came to me in a dream shared it with a friend and she said I should inflict it on the world so here we go

Warning: It's super long but I broke it up into chunks

(note not all members of the house fall into the categories listed also I'm not the best with corporate terms and positions. Also this was made for fun and isn't that serious)

The houses

The Black eagles generally were in accounting or sales. They dealt with a lot of the customers firsthand and were considered expendable

Blue lions where mostly in HR or IT

Golden deer mostly worked in maintenance and public relations.

Staff and church members are members of the board. Flayn has her position on the board despite her age because nepotism

The Seiros Co:

It's a large company that provide a large array of services and products that promote physical and emotional well-being. The company started out with good intentions but soon became a corporate monster

The company provides a host of benefits to its employees including on site housing, on site restraunts, on site pools gyms ect. They even have the best insurance on the planet. They even have horse therapy.

However they have to pay premiums on the health insurance, their rent is docted from their pay, they have to pay for on-site facilities, and those living on site are heavily encouraged to work overtime.

a lot of this is justified by cover every single health expense and days of for minor colds. Many employees seek mental health care more often than they seek physical care.

The on site living conditions vary heavily. Most are just a small white room with a single bed and a dresser. No visitors after certain hours and forget about outside visitors. However rumors are spreading that the board members have spacious luxury apartments.

The pay without all the benefits is not a wage you could live off of. But with the rent for these rooms doct from your pay you couldn't reasonably save up for different arrangements.

The strike begins:

Edelguard was finally fed up watching her team struggling. She hears constantly about how her workers are not making enough. How they have to scrape because they needed new clothes or shoes. Or worse how Petra wasn't able to support her sick grandfather

She hired a lawyer Hubert to look into information about their contracts and compare everything to labor laws. She needed to know how much of this was legal and if there was anything to be done about it.

Huberts lawfirm dealt with several lawsuits in the past. They are considered ruthless in court however media painted them out to be money hungry and demented

As expected, it was legal (mostly due to lack of regulation for these types of benefits) but really unfair, So Hubert suggested a strike. His firm would handle all the legal matters as they prepared a lawsuit and to unionize.

Edelguard was careful to organize it in private. Nothing was emailed. Nothing to tract them. Flyers were handwritten and posted in the dorms inviting members to secret meeting on slow hours.

Roles

What everyone did on the day of the strike/position they were in the office.

Black eagles

Edalguard: head of sales- she got everyone in her department and many others in different departments to simply stop working for the day when she commanded everyone to stop working via megaphone. She suck in hubert and went to a private meeting room to set up a list of demands.

Hubert: head of Vestra lawfirm- he snuck past security with the help of Edelguard. He brought a laptop and a phone with Hotspot so he could video call the rest of his attorneys from inside the conference room. Once the strike was in full swing he toured the place with Edelguard gathering evidence.

Ferdinand: senior sale manager has the highest customer satisfaction - when the strike was well underway he sent a mass email to everyone in every department including the CEO and founder herself in a very professional tone about how there is a strike. Lornez replied immediately and they when to the breakroom to enjoy tea while on the clock.

Lindhart: IT software specialist - first thing he did was turn off all the bans on websites. Everyone could go on whatever website they wanted to. He left the download blocker up and other safety precautions in place. Others could looks at memes and scroll through social media ect. He then returns to his dorm and takes a paid nap.

Caspar: manager in accounting slow but very accurate and a real team player - he hated the no pets policy with a burning passion so he let all the stray and feral cats that hang around the building in through one of the side doors. They stayed mostly on the ground floor and a few made a mess under the desks. He played with the strays with a few of his co-workers.

Bernadette: customer service rep. - she hated the calls filled with angry people. She clocked out, disconnected he phone, ran into her dorm and screamed into her pillow until calm. Once she calmed down enough she did some embroidery.

Dorothea: sales representative- has the highest upsale rate - she gets into her car and just leaves. She is still clocked in. Nobody knows where she went. Some say she met with a lover, others say she went on a binge. Nobody really knows.

Petra: bilingual sales rep. - she signed her phone off and immediately called up her family overseas. She proceeded to catch up and talk with her family for hours. She rarely got to speak with them due to the difference in timezones.

Blue lions

Dimitri: head of IT - he doesn't actually know much about IT and has little intrest in it. He got the job because his dad recommended him. With the outside website ban lifted and the lost of control of his department he frantically tried to get everything under control

Dedue: cyber security and protocol educator - although the bans are lifted he is still concerned about a cyber attack. He is frantically try to restore the ban but it seems like lindhart deleted the code.

Felix: hardware specialists - he was the one who should've been promoted into Dimitri's position and is a bit smug about how everything is falling apart in front of his boss. He bypasses the download blocker and plays minecraft on the company computer. Dimitri is too busy to notice that felix isn't helping.

Sylvain: HR rep. - he knew from the start that working conditions were shit. He was tired of trying to raise moral by doing everything but paying the employees more, giving them time off, and reasonable working hours. He went to the break room where Ferdinand and Lornez were having tea and ate a bunch of the snacks the company was reselling at super high prices then faxed a picture of his ass and balls to rhea herself as a letter of resignation.

Ashe: new hire in IT - was called down to the first floor to replace a keyboard a cat peed on. Found caspar was the reason the cats were let in. Caspar then persuaded him to play with the cats instead of shooing them out. 3 hours later he completely forgot about the strike and clocked out per usual. He completely forgot about the strike

Mercedes: head of HR - she meets with the board and discussed what to do about the strikers. They can't force them to go home since everyone striking lives on site and has every right to be there. No significant damages is being done to property. The only loss is from those not working (and a keyboard covered in cat piss and $35 worth of snacks) Mercedes is forced to find a way to get them to stop but in a way that doesn't really change anything. She leaves the meeting when it is over clocks out and returns to her modest house she calls out sick for the next couple of months.

Annette: HR rep - she tries to stop the chaos on the floor and to convince everyone to return to work. She is ignored. She wanted to ask for a megaphone to help gain attention but edelguard took the one from HR and the person with the key to one in the event closet is striking as well. She runs around in a paint trying to answer emails and settle everyone down.

Ingrid: IT helpline rep - helping Dimitri reset the ban on outside websites is above her pay grade. She at least know some of the terminology and the basics. She manages to set up a very basic blocker but it didn't block whole domains just the homepage of every website she could think of that's wasn't appropriate for work. Logging into the site allowed you to bypass the block. Ingrid feels like she will be fired for not being able to do more

Golden deer:

Claude: event planner - noticing that there was no work happening he finally decided it was time to actually do his job. He dipped into those sweet event funds and ordered as many pizza's as he could from every pizza join that could deliver. He busted out the sport balls and got employees to clear some room for flag football on the 3rd floor. He got Hilda to organize games of hide and go seek in floors 4 and 5. All games and activities were not officially approved but followed all guidelines.

Hilda: claudes assistant - organized games on the 4th and 5th floors. The cubicle although uniform made excellent hiding spaces and the food plaza just got rid of the old tables and chairs awaiting delivery of new ones so there was a ton of space to run around. Hidia had to jump between floors pretty often which was a workout all on its own but it was worth it to see everyone smile at work for once.

Lornez: head of advertising - he was tired of writing jingles and stupid commercials for the company. He wasn't aware of the strike until he got the email from Ferdinand. He offered to treat him to some tea he brought from home. They had a lovely talk and watched Sylvain stress eat. He tried to talk Sylvain out of resigning but failed.

Raphael: pizza delivery guy - he thought it was a joke at first since they never delivered pizza to the Serios Co but was persuaded by Claude. He got stopped at the front by the front desk clerk who was ordered not to allow any deliveries. Soon more pizza guys showed up and some of them where not as nice as Raphael. He eventually got in and successfully delivered his pizza.

Ignatz: accountant - he wanted no part of this and tried to work despite being on the 3rd floor. He doesn't have any PTO and is frantically trying to get his absence approved because he cannot work under these conditions. He got walled in with desks and chairs and hand to crawl his way out to try to find someone in HR to help him but found their office empty. Worst day of work ever.

Lysithia: Intern- hopes to join the advertising department - She needs this job for school credits so finding out that her boss told her to take the day off because of strike she immediately thought of her record. Lorenz assured her that she would get credit as long as he had any say in it. She played a round of hide and go seek before studying in Lornez's office

Marianne: customer service rep.- she heard the rumors and on the day of the strike she freaked out and when to have a panic attack in her car. She was on lunch technically but she took a 3 hour lunch. She came back in clocked out and decided to try that horse therapy.

Leonnie: pizza delivery guy (not nice) - she knows the customer didn't care that the order took so long to complete and was very understanding that the 30mins or less delivery time but seriously! 50 PIZZAS!! She had to stretch and press dough at top speed for like 45 mins then she burnt her hand while boxing some of the pizza's and she had to deliver all of it to this company just outside of town and now the person at the front door is insisting that the pizza was ordered by mistake oh no! Not today! You will take the pizza and you will pay for it and tip 25%.

Church

Rhea: CEO and founder - she honestly believes her practices are helping the community. She doesn't realize that she doesn't give her employees much choice. She thinks her employees are ungrateful.

Seteth: president - also believes the company is doing the best they can. He knows the dorms are small and brand but they house 78.364% of their employees and they all see a doctor at least 3 times a month. He hates that he has difficulty finding a balance between competitive prices, compensating workers, and turning a profit.

Flayn: secretary - she saw the fun going on in the 5th floor while on her lunch and thought it was organized by staff and didn't connect it as part of the strike.

Catherine: front desk - tried to turn away all the delivery drivers but more kept coming. She kept getting calls from upper management about the social media platforms and tried frantically to get in to make a statement but had little luck. She gave up when Leonnie demanded payment and let all the delivery people in.

Shamir: social media manager- she originally attended the meetings as a mole but soon learned that her fellow employees hardships. She drafted huge posts on every platform exposing the truth, changed all the passwords then took a vacation during the strike.

Hanneman: chief operational officer - he is calling and emailing the IT department about the bans every moment he can. He organized the meeting as soon as the strikers got rowdy.

Manuela: chief financial officer - although she is worried about the finances she has also been pressing about where to cut the budget first. Horse therapy is ridiculous! They own the whole ranch and are responsible for the upkeep of every horse. And all the horses are carefully hand selected and trained too. It's too much nobody uses the horse therapy because nobody has the time off to go to horse therapy!

Alois: Chairman - his title is mostly empty. He joined the strikers in a game of flag football scored a touchdown. Then went back to work as usual. Didn't check his emails about the strike since he only checks them in the morning when he first comes into work.

Gilbert: treasurer - he puts business first. Doesn't know his daughter works for the same company. Was friends with Dimitri's father. He is stressing about how the company will recover financially. He is the reason for the pay cuts so they can fund most of the benefits.

Cyrill: gopher - he gets paid minimum wage and lives on site. He considers himself lucky that he can drive the company car to go pick up office supplies from the store. He was homeless before he got a job at Seiros and feels like he is important.

Results

Since several members of the board were caught participating in strike activities the hubert and his firm counted them at strikers and used this in court.

The dorms were not considered responsible accommodations saying that prisoners in jail cells at least have their own toilet.

The news when crazy with the posts on social media. The account never replied to any dms or comments. When called they said a rogue employee posted them falsely because she was being fired.

Rhea was forced to pay a lawsuit that gave all dormitory workers an allowance of $1000 for rent for life. Even if they choose to leave the company.

Dimitri was fired for not actually having any training. Felix was promoted to the head of IT and everyone respects him.

Rhea looses her company. And most of her assets. She kept the therapy horse ranch and manages that for a living.

With the entire company now belonging to her since everyone above her resigned she made a ton of changes making the company more normal. She pays a fair livable wage to every employee. She repurposed the dorms into offices or solitary break rooms.

Huberts firm gets rebranded as a honest firm that wants to help the little guys. He later goes on to help other corporations unionize.

Am I Queer? It’s Controversial.

This is going to be long, and it’s going to cover a lot of ground, so please bear with me.  

Recently, this article came to my attention:

https://www.healthline.com/health/gender-nonconforming

I have spent a fair amount of time questioning my own sexuality/identity, and having it questioned by others.  Now approaching five full decades of life, I feel comfortable saying:

I identify as Male, and Straight.

I am Gender Non-Conforming by the standards of the culture I come from.

But I am not comfortable saying this qualifies me as “Queer” or otherwise under LGBTQIA+.   

That article (which is by no means the Last Word on the subject) identifies several areas where I do not conform to my AMAB status as culturally defined:

I have long hair.  But I also have a thick beard and moustache, and I like that combination.  Still, I grew up in a place where long hair on a guy meant you were A) Queer or B) into Heavy Metal.   Even though my teen years saw me sporting a military-style buzzcut more often than not, I tended to hang out with the Metalheads.  My long hair continues to be a point of contention with my conservative relatives and in-laws.   Some of them think I am a Hippie, which is funny because I am allergic to Cannabis.  Wanna watch me fight for breath and puke?  Blow weed smoke in my face.  

I am a Stay-At-Home Dad and Homemaker.  I have been the breadwinner for this family, but that is not part of my identity.  I am quite content to let my wife handle that part of things, and so is she.  I have been a Dad longer than I have been a father, in fact:  for most of my life I have been mentoring teenagers that find their way to me seeking advice, comfort, acceptance, and guidance.    I spent a lot of time worrying about what career should I follow, and it took me far too long to understand and accept that Dad was what I was after.  A woman seeking motherhood as a career is validated, a man seeking fatherhood in the same context is not conforming.  

When I was younger, I got hit with one hell of a double-standard: while wanting to be a Dad as a goal is not acceptable, I was supposed to go out there and sow my wild oats.  OK, I wasn’t really supposed to get girls pregnant, but I was supposed to try.  Wait, what? Try that again?  OK, if you were a teenaged boy in the 80s and 90s and I am pretty sure before that (not sure after, AIDS changed a lot of thinking all around), you were not supposed to get a girl pregnant, but you were supposed to make an attempt as often as possible, in fact you were supposed to score but fail.  If you are confused, don’t feel bad: I was living steeped in this paradox 24/7/365 and came out of it real confused.

Meanwhile, I was looking for a long-term, meaningful relationship with a woman who could be a partner in my life, and avoiding the one-night stands I was supposed to be after according to the standards of my culture, and so many of the people around me—parents, teachers, peers—decided that I must be Queer.  And that was Not A Good Classification To Find Yourself In in Rural Tennessee of the 80’s and 90’s.   Lacking real support, I entered adulthood like a trainwreck still skidding down the tracks, confused as hell and desperately trying to please people whose opinions mattered to me far more than they should.  I did finally find that relationship, and we celebrate 21 years of marriage this month.  Meanwhile I can’t keep track of who has gotten divorced and remarried from that crowd anymore.   

I am not a fan of American Football.  (I am not a fan of soccer, which is football to the rest of the world, but that’s not going to get you labeled Queer in the USA as yet.)   Even so, I got recruited to be the Football Manager for my high school football team, and then I spent several years studying to be an Athletic Trainer in college as an add-on to my English and Education degree.  The fact that I spent 7 years of my life on the sidelines of football games (and basketball, and baseball) and still do not really understand the rules of those sports should have been a clear sign to me that I was trying to conform and failing badly.  An American Male of my generation is supposed to like these things, he is supposed to scream at the television or scream from the stands when watching a game, he is supposed to have a Favorite Team and Wear Their Stuff.

Yeah, that’s not me.  I don’t like combative sports.  I like things that involve grace, beauty, and art.   Figure skating (either gender, singles, but especially pairs) is fun to watch.  The more artistic of gymnastics events are nice (uneven bars and vault are kinda boring, but I love watching floor exercise.)  Watching someone do tricks on a skateboard is more interesting to me than an MMA bout.  I enjoy the art of it.   I used to watch WWF Wrestling as a kid, but I found I enjoyed the “story” more than the violence.  Martial arts practice that is done like a dance is more interesting than watching two people try to kick each other in the face for real.   

I’m told I am supposed to like these things.  I am told that not liking them makes me less masculine.  

This extends into online gaming as well.  Oh, I like some combat games.  We aren’t going to talk about how many hours I have played the XCOM series.  But…I don’t like PVP or multiplayer. I like the story arc, and accomplishing things.  Minecraft?  I like building, and killing mobs is very secondary to that.  In single-player I usually just go peaceful mode and explore the world, build grand railways and tunnels, create comfortable houses or make a home under a lake with a glass roof under the water.  In World of Warcraft I spent more time exploring the world and getting cool screenshots than worrying about getting Phat Loot and XP.  I would take a whole afternoon just to escort a couple of new players through dangerous territory so they could find their friends.  

I have gotten a lot of grief over that.  I am supposed to go out and kill kill kill stab stab stab get the loot!  

And I am supposed to get more than the other person.  It’s competition.  Men are supposed to compete.  And if you can’t get more than the other guy you go dump buckets of lava on his house and laugh at the noob.  

I hate that.  

By the standards I was raised with, I am gender nonconforming.  I most definitely do not conform to the expectations that were laid upon me from my youth.

Does that make me Queer?   I am not comfortable claiming that.

The standards I was held to can also be considered Toxic Masculinity.  They hold that Queer==Less Of A Man.  “Queer” is not “Less.”  I was raised to think it is, but I have learned, and grown, and I know that it is not.  I also do not accept that I, myself, am Less.  The very premise of me being labeled Queer by those people is wrong on all counts.   I am different. I have always known that.  I believe that “Man” and “Male” can encompass more than violence, bullying, and competition.  I also know full well that many who identify as “Woman” and “Female” embrace those as ideals as well.  

I am no stranger to violence.  My life has often been violent.  I have fought off muggers who were armed with knives, I have stared down the barrel of a gun, I have been beaten because someone else wanted to establish himself as the dominant male in our school just after he moved there.  I am not a pacifist: the only reason I have not killed another human being in self-defense is because I was outnumbered.   I just don’t feel that defines my gender, and I have been told it should.  I fight to survive and to protect others, not to prove that I can.  

Others who look like me are guarding statues of Columbus with their Assault Rifles because they feel their masculinity is threatened.  This is another area where I do not conform to my expected gender roles.   Not only do I not feel my masculinity is threatened by BLM, or Pride, or the existence of Trans folks, I no longer feel my masculinity can be threatened.  I spent so many years under attack from “my” side, and gotten so much support from “their” side, that I now understand that my gender is not about what THEY think.  It is MY identity. I OWN it.  I am who I am regardless of their perception of me. Nothing someone else does can take that from me. 

And if anything about me is Queer, it is that: the understanding that my identity belongs to me and not to those who seek to mislabel me.  

I have been told by some in the Queer community that I am welcome among them, and I am grateful for that.  So, so many of my stories can be prefaced with, “There I was, the only Straight Guy in the room, when:”  I am proud to be an Ally.  

But calling myself Queer?  I’m not comfortable doing that.  I could, and I know some who would accept it.  But I feel it is more important to me to break the toxic definition of Masculinity and show that things like nurturing, caring, creating, dancing, loving, uplifting, and oh yes parenting, these ARE Male Qualities, always have been, and should always be.   No criticism of GNC folks who take the Queer label intended or implied: they are not Less, they own their own identity, they are valid.   They are themselves, and have a right to be. 

I am me.

I am a Man.

I will never be the Man they wanted me to be, and I am PROUD of that. 

Happy Pride Month.  

Don’t let the bastards get you down.

[yuvon-writes-letters]

Holy shit...

Hello Yuvon, I don't think my real name is relevant..At least not right now. Call me Liska if you like? I don't know how this happened, but suddenly your letter appeared..And I couldn't be happier. I tried reaching our dear hacker-friend for some time, also the others, but I'm scared. Again.

It's not the first time this happened; writing with them and then getting no message at all for months. And then it just continues..As if not even a day passed.

I'm just so glad I got your letter. I thought I was alone. I mean, I trust our dear friend and he protects us..But those breaks in communication always let me lose my mind. I always feel like my breathing stopped. And especially after such events.

I- (non readable words and some tear stains). Sorry. I just got really emotional.

I don't know how, but...I feel like I'm not left alone anymore. Someone finally seems to understand what happened to me. And..between me and our hacker-friend. (At least that's what I think)

Thank you for giving me hope with this single letter even though I don't know whether you'll ever receive this. But who knows..Maybe you will. And maybe you will reply. Maybe someday you'll even get my name.

But I don't know what I'm talking about anymore.

Thanks, Yuvon.

Sincerest, Liska🐾🔥

Liska,

Wait, you've noticed the stasis too? Thank hell I'm not the only one. Though, your stasis sounds a lot more severe than mine. And it's happened to you more than once? I've only been through it this one time... though actually

Actually, it almost sounds like you and I are in inverse situations. If I'm understanding right, you're in your world, and you're able to talk to everyone BUT the Duskwood group. But I'm stuck in this pocket universe purgatory thing, and I can ONLY talk with the Duskwood gang.

Both our situations completely fucking suck, though.

It sounds like you've got some sort of eldritch entity messing with you too, maybe even the same one as me. The "why" of all this still escapes me. Is it something to do with Duskwood? Do they just enjoy it?

Don't worry about getting emotional. It's difficult for me too sometimes, especially when talking about certain subjects.

I'm glad you don't feel isolated anymore. I'm generally fairly introverted, but this complete isolation is just... argh. I don't even know how I stayed sane until Rai wrote to me for the first time. It's too quiet here and too still and I just want to

I'm not sure I could say with full honesty that I understand the situation between you and your hacker, because I definitely don't know what the hell is happening between me and my hacker. He told me we couldn't be together and completely shut me down, and now he's just... continuing to flirt? I don't know anymore.

Enough about my not-a-relationship woes. We have issues way beyond all of this.

It's weird you only got one of my letters, and you only got it now. I've written quite a few more than one over... six days or so? Maybe the letters I write to Rai aren't going to anyone else. The initial letter I got heavily implied otherwise, but it was an implication and not a statement, so. I don't know anymore. Nothing makes sense.

(Blacked out thoroughly)

You're welcome, Liska. Us victims of eldritch abominations' machinations gotta stick together! Or something.

...So, I showed this letter to Jake, just now. I'm in contact with my version of him now and brought him into the fold on all this, in case you didn't know. He pointed out that I didn't learn about the stasis until I sent out my FIFTH letter, which was to Rai. Something's off here.

Were you exaggerating at all when you said 'single letter'? Or were you saying that because they all came in all at once or something? Or was the letter really, really long? Maybe the letter just conglomerated all my letters so far together.

Gah, I don't know. All this reality-warping bullshit is hurting my brain. Who the hell needs logic when you can just have eldritch entities with too much time on their hands fuck around in your life?! Excuse me while I go punch some trees.

...Words of wisdom. Even if the laws of reality prevent you from getting seriously hurt, don't punch trees. You're not in Minecraft. (Oh hell, HOPEFULLY. Then again who the fuck knows at this point.) You're going to get bruises galore.

Anyhow. I'm just going to sign off now. Good luck with your stasis :/

—Yuvon

(The letter tucks itself into the paper clip with the others.)

My issue with the Quackity style of lore

I'm sorry but as much as I do really enjoy Quackity's streams and I'm super invested in the plot and want to see where it goes... I find the cutscenes super immersion breaking.

I love the feeling of the Dream SMP being a real place, a fantasy world you could log into and stumble right into the plot. Where anything could happen.

I don't ACTUALLY care how much of it is pre-recorded and how much is improv vs entirely scripted, but I do want to be tricked. And I think Quackity could still achieve a lot of the stuff he wants to achieve without shattering the illusion quite as much, to build his character through a monologue instead of actually going back in time and revising the past that already exists.

I'm willing to wait it out to see if there's a good payoff for why he's told these 2 streams so out of order, and I'll obviously still enjoy them, but I don't currently see the necessity of doing it in this order.

Also it breaks the trust we have in the mechanics of the setting (video game.) Like if Quackity's streams weren't how they were and for example Foolish said "I've been building Las Nevadas off screen in survival" I'd have no reason to doubt him but now there's this seed of distrust, even if the poor guy is telling the truth, you feel?

Usually if someone/something has a way to break the laws of survival Minecraft it's for plot reasons, like Ranboo's hands or the Egg turning into obsidian. But there's no reason aside from "writing" that Quackity can just teleport around. When Fundy and Ranboo glitched the fuck out of all reasonable game mechanics that was a BIG DEAL from a plot perspective. That meant something. What does this mean for Quackity?

Also, as much as I enjoy the momentum of these streams and understand why he wanted to do it like this, it cheapens the work we see a lot of the other members do. Why grind for something when you could just spawn it in? What are the rules of this world? The laws of nature? Do certain people have special privileges? If Quackity can turn off the mobs and teleport around why isn't Tubbo allowed to make a freaking iron farm?

Just like any setting in any piece of media there has to be rules, and if those rules are broken it should mean something.

Who are the Gem Kings?

The Gem Kings are the rulers for the Gem Kingdoms. 5 Kingdoms and 1 country that serve as homes for anyone coming from a minecraft dimension of any kind, it also is home to many Concians who've been living in Palace Concy their whole lives. But to explain-

Mason Crafted, founder of the Gem Kings and king of Kosikians Sky. He's the son of Skies craft and does have some of his father's powers. Since he can't control his powers well he doesn't use them often. It doesn't worry him since he doesn't see his powers as a treat, more of a humiliation. He's always tired and depressed and his resting face just looks like death. He's hardly gotten a good sleep in hundreds of years. He refuses to let someone take control so that he can have a break, he always says that "If someone else were to take my throne for a day all Concy would die at our feet.".

Sparklez Redstone, first Gem King to join Mason and he's the king of Redstellia. He became king at age 19 after years of helping his city run Redstone City. Mason saw this and had offered Sparklez the City's land. Sparkz denied the offer when he was 18. After a year of negotiations with Sparkz and his City, the people decided to make their own kingdom and crown Sparklez as king. The guy didn't mind at all. What he did mind is that 5 years later he had a painful realization that Mason was his nephew after figuring out that he himself had powers that related to the God of Death Helltro (but also some DNA tests). The reason he aged so quickly and wildly was that 500 years ago when he was just a toddler he had been taken away and accidentally thrown into a dimension called Tutoliyu (a dimension that freezes you in time, a black void of nothing, a dimension meant for those who have great powers who are a danger to the dimensional galaxy, they're banished here). Apparently Sparkz had ended up back in Concy because of a normal dimensional portal hickup. Since his growth had been delayed forcefully for so long, his body had him grow as fast as a normal human but a bit faster so that he could catch up to the age he was actually, the age he was supposed to look like. Once Sparkz hit age 29 his fast growth spurt had slowed down. (A lot, I know)

Ant Hank Sapphire, 2nd Gem King to join the duo and he's the king of Squikens. He'd joined suddenly at age 21 when he had outsmarted his entire village and tried to take on the kingdom of Redstellia. Sparklez had been so impressed (and in love) that he challenged Ant to a game of Redstone. The first person to fix a yard full of broken down construction equipment would win the throne. The game would take 24 hours but Ant finished within 8 hours. At the end Ant did feel bad about taking Sparklez throne (what made him feel aweful was all the hate he got from the kingdom for it) and instead of taking the prize he denied it and said that "I'd feel awful taking something important away from you.". He had caught Mason's eye who, after some long meetings, handed Ant some large land to own as long as he promised to join him and Sparklez after Ant had built up his new kingdom. Which he did. (Ant also fell hard for Sparklez, always denying that he had feelings for the other).

Dan Cart Diamond, 3rd Gem King to join the lil trio group, he's the king of Diamonlia. Not as peaceful at earning his land like the others. He had actually went to war with Redstellia after finding out how to recreate magic and make deadly weapons. He ended up claiming some of Redstellia's land and creating his own kingdom. Took 3 years for him to calm down enough to ask the Gem Kings if he could join there little play group (which Ant responded with kicking Dan's ass across the Kosikians Sky palace). Took some time and some fixing of trust issues until Dan was finally allowed into the group but he had to follow a long list of rules after joining, to which he was completely fine with following.

Stampy Creation Emerald, 4th Gem King to join the group, he's the prince of Goldia. After some trouble with the Goldia King, the group had asked if the king could send in a representative to which they responded with their prince. So Stampy may not be the king of Goldia but he is it's prince and representative. Anyways, Stampy back then was way different than he is today (in Concy that is). Stampy use to be one of those rare very feral hybrids that had no control over himself. He'd come to his senses every one and a while but those were rare. During his feral days he had met Ballistic and Forest who soon became his best friend. He later ended up finding a duck hybrid mate named Squishy (yeah I know that's not her name, the power of story changing helps me change the name). He was so happy living with his lover and friends. What he didn't know was that he's friends had found out about the power Stampy possessed and wanted to use that power against the Gem Kingdoms to gain their powers and land. Ballistic, Forest and Squishy had created a place after gaining many hybrid followers who wished to rebel against the Gem Kingdoms. Soon the group had went to war against Redstellia, Diamonlia and Goldia. It had been a bloody war since the rebels didn't wish to end it all peacefully. During the war Stampy had been sent loose, had found his first target which was Dan who had quickly snipped him down with a sleeping drug dart. Some medicine later and Stampy was no longer feral, the Gem Kings knew of Stampy's powers and used that against the hybrid rebels (this ended up killing Squishy and many other hybrids, few escaped alive). Long story short, Stampy was put under Dan's care who had created some special medication to give to Stampy every new moon so that he wouldn't go feral. During this time Dan ended up falling in love with Stampy and before Dan could do anything about his feelings the Gem Kings had decided to put Stampy in Goldia's care (which broke Dan's heart). Stampy became prince, joined the Gem Kings and also started gaining some feelings for Dan but because of Goldia's strict laws Dan and Stampy couldn't be together.

Techno Zaltic, 5th Gem King to join, he's the President of Splitland. Not much is known about his past or where he came from. His whole backstory is one huge mystery. What is known is that he had to get his best friend Tommy and his lover Phil killed in order to gain his titles. He hates that that was what it took to become President. Techno doesn't take about his past much but when it's brought up he'll go deadly silent and not show any emotion or talk to anyone for a good while until the lighter topic is put on the table. What is known is that when he became President he had a very difficult time with running his country to the point where he had to ask neighboring countries for help to which the Gem Kings gladly stepped in to help. How he became the Gem King's leader? Mostly because of the powers the kings had found out that Techno possessed. The power of control, a power very similar to the God of Life but very different in its own way.

And yeah. Those are all the Gem Kings. I'm about to pass out in bed so I'm sorry if there's any spelling errors. I didn't proof read anything. Hope you enjoyed thou! Goodnight!

mukuro - tried to convince chiaki and chihiro to put a gun mod on - they refused, almost shot a bitch - unironically listens to hunger games by bajan canadian - “if i can’t have my guns chiaki can't have her house” - got arrested by taka for arson - opts for a crossbow instead - people have to tell her no, it’s not battle royale, just thrive - ‘mukuro is using aimbot’ ‘no im NOT WHAT THE FUCK DO Y-’

junko - spends 20 minutes getting a minecraft skin just to go find another one - changes her skins as fast as her personalities - barely on the server because of this - house is trapped constantly because nobody likes her - therefore she traps other people’s houses - always has a sign saying “it’s punishment time” in front of said traps - constantly stealing so they “feel despair” - always on instagram live streaming her antics - the only person’s house she hasn’t trapped is kokichi’s because she honestly has no fucking clue where he lives i hope these are to ur liking!!! literally all the mods went feral AJKGJKA also ty for taking the time to send a request it made all our hearts uwu - mod corn

Welcome to Night Vale Year Two!! Let’s go!

Honestly, most of these are out of context reactions soooooo....yep.

Also, I shoved all of the stuff for Year Two into one post, so it’s a bit longer than my other ones (There’s usually 1-3 bullet points for every single episode so yeah it’s a bit long). Hopefully still good. I’ll put it below a ‘read more’ so it doesn’t clutter everything up.

@ the Faceless Old Woman: STOP JUDGING MY FRIDGE ORGANIZATION. THEY’RE ALPHABETICAL OKAY?! (I’m voting Hiram McDanials out of spite now.)

AAAWWWWW!!!! Khoshekh’s meow is eldritchly adorable!

Okay. Cecil describing his and Carlos’ date was the most adorable thing I’d heard since Khoshekh’s meow.

Tamika Flynn is a baddass. Further comment was discouraged via threats of decapitation.

Newly revealed attributes of librarians: they are either personally capable of making decorative signs, or they are capable of persuading others to do so. They are capable of speaking English. They also possess creativity.

I wrote that, and now I’m imagining a Librarian, Station Management, and City Council all in an episode of Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared.

Carlos just leaning over with a spatula and just being like “Oh yeah, that’s a mirage.” is significantly funnier to me than it should be.

Well StrexCorp has come to town and I’m scared.

For some reason the phrasing I accidentally used above and the fact that Kevin’s show’s opening music sounds like Christmas music makes me want to make a parody of “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” with “StrexCorp is Coming to Town”. (I did it. I wrote it. Someone needs to stop me.)

Okay, ep 33 (Cassettes) was disturbing, but I’m mostly concerned with the fact that Cecil can apparently break cassette tapes with his bare hands. I know those aren’t super sturdy but that still shouldn’t be that breakable.

Is no one else more curious about the computer virus? (The one who was friends with Megan, ep 34).

Okay, I know Stop Sign Immunity is a bad idea. But if I ran a town and had no restrictions on what laws I could implement and enforce, there’s a chance that’d end up on the books.

I hate Lauren Mallard. Further comment is too infuriated to be written.

I am....going to suppress the events of Lot 37 and move on.

Since Marcus Vanston has so many chimneys, I’m just imagining a Night Vale version of “Chim Chimminy” from Mary Poppins.

Can I see a Tropicana OJ add (like this one) where all the people who drank the orange juice just flicker out of existence and the add just keeps rolling with cheery music while everyone flips out around them?

Okay, the voice that possessed Cecil during his broadcasts about The Woman from Italy makes me think of Dr. Doofinshmirtz from Phineas and Ferb. And now I’m imagining a parody of “Der Kinderlumper” (Season 4, Episode 6) but with the Woman from Italy. Why do I have so many parody ideas and no ability to actually make them?!?!

Dana is nice. Further comment was lost in the void and is yet to return.

The Man in the Tan Jacket is spooky and reminds me of The Silence (from Dr. Who). Further comment has been forgotten.

Fey is so sweet. 9 , 23 9 12 12 , 13 9 19 19 , 8 5 18. (abc123)

Cecil’s voice when he’s talking about things he finds cute is, in and of itself, incredibly cute.

Kevin’s commercial sounds like a cross between a nightmare, a Jehovah’s Witness commercial, and a car salesman pitch.

STREX HAS (technically indirectly) INJURED KHOSHEKH. THERE WILL BE Ǹ̴̬̟̲̭̩̽̕O̷͖̤̤̹͎͒̒̐̈̏̎̈͒̚ͅ ̴̭̻̈́̿M̸͔̩̥̼͍̦͚̺̔̇͑͗̊̐̅͜Ě̴̺̮̰̭̗̹R̸̪̫͈̳̄̍́̿̈́͊̈́C̵̨̙͓͎̫̱̻͐̊̈̓̀̏͆̚͜ͅY̸̢̛͈̜̾́̐̈͝͝.

Carlos talking with Cecil is the most adorable thing ever. Seriously, just the way Cecil’s like “Hi Carlos” is so fucking cute.

The fact that Cecil very specifically comments that he made faces at Daniel is very cathartic. Thank you. But also, F*CK YOU EVERYONE WHO LET TAMIKA GET CAPTURED.

Parade Day was a f*cking emotional roller coaster. Excuse me while I obsessively replay Khoshekh’s meow to make myself feel better.

I have said it before and now I am going to say it again. I HATE LAUREN MALLARD. (LAUREN, YOU DON’T DESERVE TO TALK ABOUT CARLOS)

......K̶̖̲̈́͂̆̾͗͒̈́ȩ̵̱̘̝͚͖̾̉̐͜ṽ̴͕̉̄͘̕͠í̴̢̖̞̮͚͙̕͜n̷̡̼̏̐̽ͅ....

Why does Kevin get accordion (concertina?) music while he talks? He doesn’t deserve an accordion. At best, he gets a set of broken wind chimes. Lauren doesn’t deserve instrumentation. Lauren doesn’t deserve to talk. Lauren should do us all a favor and be a more productive employee and stop being so wasteful with air usage, like breathing.

KEVIN, LAUREN, DON’T YOU DARE TOUCH KHOSHEKH’S KITTENS.

Yaassss. Go Pamela Winchell. Invoke that veto power.

CECIL IS BACK!!!! (Thank you Erika)

HAH! F*ck you Daniel. 

I love that even Kevin is getting annoyed with Lauren. I still hate him, but that’s one thing I appreciate. (“Pteranodons are not dinosaurs, Lauren. They’re arachnids.”)

Okay, as much as I deeply despise Kevin (it’s a lot) he’s still kinda funny.

 I’m honestly only imagining the Minecraft oak doors. Complete with the sound effects. 

Kevin is creepy. But I kinda enjoy his character. Like, he reminds me of Daniel from Camp Camp. Hate him, but enjoy hearing him nonetheless.

Go Mayor Dana! (Concerned about Hiram McDaniels and The Faceless Old Woman plotting, but go Dana!!)

That voicemail from Carlos tho. I don’t even want to imagine how sad Cecil will be when he listens to the voicemail.

I’m gonna go cry again and then immediately start binging Year 3 cause I need to know Carlos is okay.
