Mod: posting this early in case it helps anyone!

Hello, this is your Oldie Chinese Diaspora Anon™️. I have debated with myself about disclosing this information. I know I have done something like this before, but this situation is quite different. With your leave, I’d like to borrow your attention for a little bit. I am not in control of when this message will be posted, but I hope it reaches those ears for whom this would be of some benefit in time.

A friend of mine, situated in Asia, had bought into the first release of the “Escape Plans” blind box dolls. The dolls have been released in Asia, but it seems that they have not yet arrived anywhere else. Unfortunately, due to the corner-cutting enacted by the production factory, this release of dolls has been wrought with defects and imperfections.

Mod: some images from above link, looks like it is a thread showing the quality issues:

I have seen Weibo texts from the designer. These defects occurred because of the factory who manufactured them (I suppose they went with the cheapest option available, and the manufacturers were unable to deliver at the same quality of the samples). The designer is also quite distressed over these imperfections, but they have decided to choose the path of ghosting those who complained. Their “aftercare service” channel now only responds with a canned message advising all buyers that they can choose to not accept the deliveries in order to get a refund. The creative team had refused to answer any other questions (including questions from buyers outside of China who cannot use this process to apply for a refund.) At the moment, my friend had decided to ask for a refund from her agent.

I know there are still people who want one of these dolls and are willing to overlook the imperfections. Some are willing to take the girls home to “fix” them. I do not want to stop anyone who likes these girls and want to have them regardless. I also don’t want the agents to lose out on potential sales because of the faults of the factory. However, I would not be able to rest easy without at least trying to warn someone about these flaws before they made up their minds to purchase these boxes. So… I am doing it here. Tell me you won’t mind, would you, folks?

Do you think ViriPV would cry when he sees sm, fok and sot in one room cause he only has 2 hands?

He's not making out of that room alive, I fear 💔

[jesuistrestriste]

!nerd art who’s so desperate he doesn’t let you two feet in the door..like easyyy white chocolate let me take my shoes off

literally mouthing at your jaw and pushing his hands up under your shirt, then down to tug at your waistband, murmuring things like “sorry, please, i can’t wait, been studying all day—“ and “shit, you smell so good, im so hard already..”

then he drops down to his knees and helps you take off your shoes, kissing your legs as he stumbles back upright and presses you against his door. his hips rutting into your pelvis and his fingers creeping over the expanse of your stomach before fiddling with the top of your panties. “want me to go down on you? or—or do you just wanna get right into it? or can we, like, rub on each other for a bit like last time? actually, wait.. no.. that made me finish too fast.. okay tell me what you wanna do—“

just a mumbling, awkward mess of a guy who’s simply happy to be in your presence and not think about biology or calculus

Ooc: if you're confused on what is currently going on here's this

[canonical-transformation]

What is genshin lore even about 😭

(CW: unhelpful tongue in cheek. My best attempt at "accurate" but it depends which in game lore you trust.)

Firstly, Teyvat has its own "laws", so write that down.

Among the greatest of these laws is Fate, which the god of wisdom calls "the ultimate knowledge" because we... we don't know the future? Fate cannot be changed; also, Fate can be changed, and subverted, and superceded, if you try hard enough. Fate is inscribed wrITTEN in the sTaRS of the (false?) sky, which seems to be where the Shades live.

Fate is also the Ley Lines, which are memory, which is artifacts; memory is also Ararakalari, which is good for defeating Big Iron Chunks. If you don't have Ley Lines, use a dying angel and a cursed immortal soldier to make your own. If you don't have these, an Alberich will do, too.

Another law of Teyvat is stop trying to make gestalt consciousnesses. It didn't work for King Remus, it didn't work for Rene de Petrichor and his Narzissekreuz Ordo, it didn't work for King Deshret— or did it? Historians disagree on the exact manner of his demise—so no, you may not hire postdocs for your rebranded sentience slurry. For all we know Gosoythoth is a gestalt consciousness. Gosoythoth is of the Abyss. Haborym tells us the Abyss has no innate intelligence, though perhaps it's more accurate to call it a non-sentient animalistic intelligence. There's also the Abyss Order, which doesn't appear to be affiliated with the Five Sinners, but is affiliated with the former royalty of Khaenri'ah, a nation which I am not going to mention again due to commitment to the bit.

Teyvat, everyone agrees, is a continent of seven nations. (Well, seven nations plus an autonomous Snezhnayan protectorate(?) that's really well known for using moon magic or something. But that's a retconned protectorate so despite it probably being the grave of one or more moon sisters, good luck finding any mention of Nod-Krai outside of limited-time events. As Haborym once said: "Oh, them?, yeah, they seem cool. I guess go check them out in version six? There's plot stuff there, and yeah it's a detour that the pre-1.0 roadmap never mentioned but the journey is what matters.") The seven nations are were administered by seven Archons, who each sit on one of the Seven Thrones and each have their own Gnosis an average of one Gnosis. The Gnoses are the bones of the Third Descender. Who was that, you ask? Anyway, the Thrones and Gnoses correspond to the Seven Elements. The fact that there are seven Elements appears to be a historical contingency, based on the political division of the powers of Light back in Nibelung's reign, when he and his seven Dragon Sovereigns once ruled the world.

This was long before the days when the divine envoys walked among humanity.

If the phrase "divine envoys" made you jump in your seat, you have issues. You know who else had issues, eventually? The unified civilisation that once spanned Teyvat: a seeming federation of city states that predated the Seven Archons, containing a mix of humans and divine envoys (angels?). They were created by the Primordial One, who #descended upon Nibelung's dragon civilisation declaring terra nullius and won the ensuing war. TL;DR, they got colonised. (...though "colony" implies an imperial core, whereas the Primordial One was seemingly acting alone. Sometimes eldritch entities just show up in Teyvat from the implied void between worlds, like a cosmic whale seeking magic water. Actual example btw.)

The Primordial One may have been Phanes. (Who? Great question.) Phanes(?) had four shades, including Ronova, who controls death (not to be confused with the Big Dipper star "Beidou"), and Istaroth, who was the moment, who was every moment. (Tellingly, she was Kairos — details on subtleties here.) Phanes(?) and its shades also created the so-called Human Realm, with the subjugated Dragon Vishaps mostly confined to their native Light Realm. There was also the Void Realm, likely the aforementioned void between worlds, some of which is likely the so-called Abyss. Anyway Phanes(?) had a plan for the humanity it had created. It loved them dearly. Luckily the path to temptation had already been sealed, whatever that means.

Everything changed when the Second Who Came arrived. This Second Descender may have been the [artifact leaks] who intended to [artifact leaks] [artifact leaks] but instead [artifact leaks]. Either way, this Descender brought forbidden knowledge: likely just the kind censored by the Shades, but maaaybe the Abyssal kind that killed two gods millennia later.

War was rekindled. Phanes's(?) faction, the eventual victors, quashed heresy with a rain of Divine Nails: a mix between kinetic bombardment and AoE terraforming!curses. Humanity's world got flip-turned upside down. In the case of one Liyue city, literally upside down...... or was it everyone else who got flipped? #specialrelativity Tsurumi got shrouded in a fog of menace., seemingly unrelated to the time loop some millennia later. Sal Vindagnyr got a permawinter, and the princess could not complete her mural even as the priest made his pilgrimage. Byakuyakoku fell beneath the sea, where they invented Greece and child scapegoats. Sumeru's original forests turned to desert. (Speculative: Fontaine got FRIKEE'd, a technical term for getting displaced several nautical miles into the air and not coming back down.) Mondstadt doesn't appear to have been directly nailed but it's also developmentally centuries behind all its peers, as if someone took an industrial revolution setting and then added the blandest medieval fantasy elements to it because BotW comparisons sell.

The ruins of the unified civilisation litter Teyvat and their architecture can be found everywhere — they loved their Celtic knots. For the low cost of some petrified Moon resin that apparently only Descenders secrete, you can poke at their old Irminsul shrines (their Leylines now infested with monsters) for access to the memories within the Leylines.

According to Wolfy, who is a fictional character and also real, the Envoys were cursed in various ways, largely being turned into Seelies: shadows of themselves forever guiding lost travellers home. (According to Fischl, who is also a fictional character and also also real, the kingdom of eternal darkness that is shrouded from the heavens shall eventually re-emerge and punish the wicked usurpers: this is foretold by Fate.) There are various exceptions: Nabu Malikata; Yohualtechutin. The one mentioned by Wolfy is Nicole Reeyn, who is the second-most Seelie coded character in the game because she likes being a good guide.

Seemingly later there was the Gnoses and the Archon War (at least in Liyue and Inazuma) and then there was nobody left who shared the memories of osmanthus wine so dear to Morax, besides the several dozen illuminated beast vassals, in his employ, and also Marchosias, who got Rukkhadevata'd, a term that is the opposite of getting Arama'd. (Arama was an Aranara but then they had to be a worldtree. Rukkhadevata was

More recently, there was the Siege of Poisson. Parsifal was there [citation needed][disputed]. Possibly because of this, Tenoch and Bosacius died soon after, and a whole lot of Hilichurls got made. Stars fell from the skies, and according to the promotional Xbox wings one of them was once the scion of a glorious kingdom.

please any atla gojo lore. anything please im begging on my knees hands pressed together like im praying to god

I really wish I could anon :'> we tried to think of non-spoiler-y lore we could share but turns out every aspect of his character is either a. major spoilers or b. a near-direct echo of canon but make it atla flavoured (ie. his relationships w/ geto/shoko/nanami/haibara; him being The Strongest(tm) in-universe, etc). I guess there's technically the satosugu betrothal but that's already Public Knowledge given that there's art, plus the details are (surprise!) more spoilers

so ...yeah.... unfortunately you'll just have to wait to learn more about him in the fic :"> please accept this compensatory art as apology even though i am Not sorry in fact the pleas of the commonfolk make me cackle

jjk atla!au with @philosophiums

Oldie Chinese Diaspora Anon has to be my favorite person on this confession blog. They're always so nice. I hope their dolls never yellow and that their wigs are always perfectly styled and that the outfits they buy never tear.

Hey uhh... you know what... you creatures have it difficult around this place... rarely coming out in packs or group's... and I don't see many of you around making me assume your species is... rather well... diminished... so... Me being a scavenger myself I can always hunt more with help of the others... Have this...

*proceeds to pass them a strawberry lizard body*

Enjoy it... I apologize if it seems like I'm pitying you... I'm just... worried... I hope your future is as bright as these pearls...

Marbles takes the lizard and stares into its blank dead eyes. She hasn't had anything to eat this cycle, and desperately needs this food for hibernation. The scug hesitates, then closes her eyes and begins to eat… trying very hard not to think too much about the fact this lizard was probably sentient in some capacity.

She will never be able to look at these creatures the same way again…

// I think it's great that Anon mentioned there's little to no slugcats around anymore. In my AU, nearly all scugs inside the Five Pebble's retaining wall were pushed out by the expansion of the Metropolis' scavs and the allied neighbouring tribes.

saw someone say in the tags of your reply about not moving that they can’t drive – as the keeper of dnp lore do you know if they’ve ever said whether they like actually do not know how to drive or they just don’t bc they don’t like to? weird question perhaps lol but as a city dweller who never learned to drive i’m so curious to know if they’re #representing

they both got their drivers licenses (phil after failing 5 times and having 70 lessons but passed when his last instructor won the lottery which i'm sure you knew because they feel the need to mention it allll the time for some reason). he shared a car with his mum but hasn't driven since he was 18 because he hated it

dan had a red vauxhall corsa (x) and drove in wokingham but left the car at home when he moved to manchester and then his parents sold it without telling him

[nekrosmos]

i’m just here w/ more boxer nikolai thoughts. very specifically what his team looks like.

his promoter? price. lends to an interesting dynamic - price gives the orders but if nikolai dislikes them he simply *wont listen*. they’re a team, first and foremost, and a unit at the end of the day. they have a rehearsed set of statements for every interview, but they never quite need to *check* what the other is comfortable with them saying because they know what each other want.

his trainer? laswell. nikolai is a dedicated man, a strong man, a smart man, but he’s a man who needs some form of guidance. no trainers he’s had has ever really gotten it, which is how price pushed him in the direction of her. she keeps him in check, and she pushes him to be better than he thought possible.

cutman? gaz. technically it should be a laceration man i say as they drag me away. but alas. i imagine gaz and nikolai to have a very strong relationship built on a fundament of trust. nikolai trusts gaz, gaz trusts nik. after all they’ve gone through together, he can trust gaz to rub some vaseline on his face, after all.

other cornermen? it’s a little blurry as to the exact number he’d be allowed. there’s i think three allowed on the fringe (trainer, cutman, and one other) for non-title fights, four for title fights, and then i can’t find the number for how many can be on the ground. i imagine the three on the fringe are laswell, gaz, and yegor. yegors intel dossier says that he’s loyal to nik, but has a habit of challenging his command where he sees fit. i think he’d be a good fit here for somewhat similar reasons to laswell. i’d say price is there, but i imagine he’s busy watching it on a screen whilst he prepares a warm bath and somewhat poorly-made pelmeni, as well as organising interviews for nik.

also, while i’m on the topic, a little more on price:

most promoters have multiple fighters under their command, so it would be unusual that he just works with nik. but i imagine he likes to dedicate all his time to the man, checking the history of every person he’s interviewing with, finding perfect fights for him, ensuring proper medical care. he insists on taking nikolai to get brain scans; he cannot bear the thought of the other man getting hurt because of him. price is a strong man, but (i’m thinking of his whole “no, nik. stay” here) the people he cares about are a great exception to the rule.

the end send tweet or whatever. sorry i’m yapping. love the new art btw <3

Anon I am so sorry that I took this long to answer, I made a little sketch as an apology, hope you'll like it <3

I love your thoughts, it also made me realize that I don't know shit about boxing tbh LMAO. But I love all the reasoning behind his team, Laswell as his trainer would be the coolest thing. She truly would push him in the right direction, stern but truly knowledgeable, and always willing to go grab a drink with him after training.

And Gaz as his cutman is so good. How many times as he patched up cuts on Nik's body ? Too many, probably, but like you said, there's so much trust between them.

And of course I absolutely adore the idea that Price only works with Nikolai. He's attached to him and he knows how good he is, but man would he worry about him. Delicious thoughts <3

Hi! Ummm...

I don't know if you can draw it, but how do you think Sonic would comfort his adoptive father Mario in a sad moment for him?

I would draw it, but after thinking about this, it would have to be a full blown comic... But I do have an idea of how it'd go down (with my recent art in mind hehe)

I think Sonic would try to cheer Mario up at first. Throw out some jokes he knows would normally make his dad Mario laugh. Unfortunately, all he receives is a small, forced smile. This is going to be harder than he thought.

So he decides to stop beating around the bush; asks Mario what's going on and to talk to him. Mario wouldn't budge... mainly because he knows Sonic is just a kid; he already deals with so much, he certainly doesn't need to deal with the issues of an adult who just screws up everything he does.

Sonic would know the gist of what happened; Mario did something incredibly impulsive and now he's beating himself up for it. So he uses that to relate to Mario; goes on about how he's done reckless things that he's regretted before. And how it's hard dealing with those feelings, but those actions don't make them bad people.

Mario takes in his son's Sonic's words, and gives him a genuine smile of appreciation.

And then I think Sonic would offer to go get some food somewhere so he can get his dad Mario out of the house for a bit.
