#INDY500 The Month of May 2023

I want you to know that your art is very important to me, and I'm very invested in all of the characters I have seen from you. Also, the discussion about Finnish and other languages having gendered words or not has been the last little push to get me to start learning Finnish which I think is fun.

I'm making this a little compilation post of all the language asks I got. Thank you for sharing, this was genuinely really interesting!

Please forgive my extremely messy and hasty wrap; I haven't regularly wrapped my hair in almost 20 years, since I stopped selling roses at Faire, BUT

We got a sample of a scarf that I think might be a good option for tichel wear. The big issue has been that a lot of the scarves we've been able to get over the last few years have been too slippery, too translucent, too itchy, or some combination of the above.

This is a poly weave, 27" × 73'', and it has enough grip to it and is soft enough that I could wear this and not get the sensory heebie jeebies.

We've been looking for options literally since we started NK in 2017, and I'm really hopeful about this. I was able to keep it on my head without it moving around just from twisting and tucking it, no pins or anything, and i bent over and shook my head around and so on. It felt pretty secure.

I'm going to try it again after it's washed and dried and see how it feels.

Oh - the print here isn't very well featured bc you can't see much of it in the wrap but it's the trans pride Braille print, which will drop April 15th. :)

pulps law is that whenever i get insane enough about something, i will inevitably attempt to make a persona 5 au, regardless of whether or not i am successful at it.

OK INFECTED ILLNESS HEADCANONS

so i like to think that infected's illness both works like a normal virus (like on the immune system and all) but also a computer virus. (actually - side note. we dont know if its a virus , right? it could be a bacteria or a retro virus... whatever)

the way i think the illness works is when on a surface, like a virus, stays alive for a lil while before dying out. and since the.. whatever it does is a missing texture it deletes that object's texture until it dies out.

so i like to think that the virus on objects, that arent alive yknow, cant really infect it and thus cant get higher permissions to delete anything other than it's texture image. so it does that.

meanwhile on live things its another thing. when an organic whatever is infected with the virus, it receives higher permissions to delete more things other than textures, and also just mess shit up. like any illness.

the leetspeak is just a malicious thing to fuck with the person (like a virus changing the time on the computer, typing random things, etc.) memory issues just come from random files being corrupted, deleted, or encrypted. the person being oblivious could be just infected not wanting confrontation, or just the illness making them oblivious on purpouse to make a bigger mess.

and that circles around to the person sneezing or whatever, since the virus only has infected the person, the texture gets deleted on objects for a lil while.

i guess that this kind of implies its a trojan horse if it manages to get in and stuff? whatever idk how computers work very well.

bows.

I'm thinking about leaving most of the servers we're in. I mean fuck we barely ever talk in a vast majority of them anyways it's not like anyone will miss us. We could go back to being basically nobody to the world

Me figuring out if I’ll like a piece of media: Does it have an Extremely pale protagonist with a perceived lack of emotions and a Cat?

The Batter and Omori don’t talk much, but between The Judge and Data they wouldn’t get a chance to anyway.

It's not Dan's worldbuilding it's mine.

Hello, random person in our inbox. We are fairly certain that this is bait, as we cannot think of any other reason that you would be... in our inbox, writing extremely accusatory asks about our fiance stealing worldbuilding, of all things?

You are

1: Someone we don't know, appearing in our inbox without previous context or provocation in order to give us a message that one of the people that we know has Done Something That Is Bad.

2: Carrying highly emotionally charged, extremely unspecified accusations towards said someone - with wording that treats it as though you, personally, have been wronged, and it's this guy who did it.

3: Thus, by extension, setting us in a position where we either have to rebuke you - thus making it so that we will appear as someone further attacking the victim, and making it easier for you to build a case for yourself being directly attacked even if there was no initial wrongdoing, as receiving backlash for randomly accusing someone's friend of (theft???) can still read as a direct attack on you framed correctly, especially if removed from context.

Ignoring the core narrative of stolen worldbuilding(???) (which we can be extremely confident is untrue, as the... main thing that we do together, 50% of the time, is brainstorming and refining writing and worldbuilding), the fact that you are running to someone else's inbox to ferrt an accusation, thus making it so that even if there is additional context it is likely that at least some people on our dash will only see the initial ask (not to mention negativity bias making it so that any accusation, even disproved, is likely to permanently tar an image), makes this some extremely obvious rage bait - if not for us, then for our followers, to make it so that us answering this ask will ferry the accusation to people.

The accusatory angle, we will note, tends to be somewhat uncommon on this site - most of the time, these sorts of asks are sent through anon, generally as someone positioning themself as a "concerned follower" who has "heard of" X mutual doing some manner of unspecified wrongdoing, thus making it so that the deliberately unverifiable vague accusation.

If this is intentional bait, it has most likely been sent to multiple of our other mutuals in order to make this unspecified accusation stick - as the more people hear an accusation, the more likely they are to believe it, as it now appears to be coming from multiple sources, even if only sent from one asker. It is also somewhat incompetent, as it opens the door to us asking what the wrong was, as you would most likely have information on it, if it was real. You are also sending this off anon - which, granted, might have been a mistake on your part, but opens you up to questioning and poking at your story even more, and also people a name and face to block if you make an ass of yourself.

The utter incompetence of this angle, we will note, is the one point that puts doubt on this being bait - why would you send us an accusation that we can look to you, or ask Dan about, or even just ask someone else about - but with this sort of ask, sometimes just one ask is enough, as the nature of context collapse on the internet means that this ask can be used to spur emotions in a potentially very large number of people, even without supporting evidence.

As with any misinformation, an accusation of any sort can stick at the back of one's mind even without supporting evidence, creating a little bit of doubt - sure, that one ask was nonsense, but you just feel like they were in some sort of drama, you know? Something wrong, something problematic about them. This can also subtly socially isolate the target, as with the primary purpose of callout posts - no one wants to associate with a... thief? plagarizer? (we can't tell what you're going for here) and as such the target will struggle more to find friends in the future, as well as reach anywhere with any of their own artistic endeavors.

This lack of clarity, accusatory tone, and direct finger pointing is what leads us to call it bait, albeit some remarkably weak bait. It could, of course, be intended for us, in order to try and make us make an ass of ourself by acting defensive - but there are a lot of statements that you could make that would work better for this if this were anything but a boilerplate message sent out to people interacting with Dan. We give is a 17/100 on the scale of bait.

If this isn't bait: man, what are you doing here, we don't know what you're talking about and you haven't told us anything to point us towards what you're mad about. if we don't turn up anything from asking around the mutuals we're blocking you for being a dick.

EDIT: Mutuals have gotten back to us. Although our initial impressions of your extremely inflammatory messages to our partner initially lead us to believe you were mad because our partner reblogged your worldbuilding, period, it appears that you are mad because we reblogged a joke post with some of your worldbuilding in it and you took our "dan is this u" tag as some sort of admission that our partner was directly plagarizing your stuff. Also, you've been a huge dick to him for no reason. This is likely not to be intentional bait, but we will still be blocking you, because we think you and your weirdly accusatory asks suck.

Chapter 10

For one split second, Kevin thinks about playing ignorant. Then he sighs, long and loud, as he scrapes a hand over his face. In an Irish accent, he answers, “Aye, he is.” Jeremy falls off the coffee table.  “Wh-what?” he sputters from the floor.  Jean gapes at him.  The man on screen breaks into a huge grin.  “Uhhh…what?” Kevin sighs again.  “Yeah, sorry, I – I didn’t have the chance to tell you – and I thought we’d never be seeing each other again – but then we did, and there never seemed to be a good way to bring it up in conversation-” he rambles, still in his accent.  “Would you stop doing that?” Jean hisses.  “Oh my god, never stop doing that,” Jeremy looks at him with stars in his eyes.  “Um,” the man on screen says again.  “Sorry, sorry, let me do this right,” Kevin says, reverting to his normal accent.

Health update

Saw my GI specialist today. He thinks i maybe just need to be flushed after my bout with food posioning about a week and half or so ago. He ordered an ultrasound (to check my galbladder just in case), an xray (to check for bowel blockage), and some blood work (for things like thyroid, celiacs, etc).

Told me to stop the anti nausea meds and resume my usual acid controller. Ate some cheerios earlier, first time since the clinic that ive eaten without meds. I did feel nausea but its starting to go away and settle down so thats good at least.
