(Unseen Academicals, Terry Pratchett) I think Shang Qinghua and Ponder Stibbons should have tea and compare notes about somehow accumulating so much behind-the-scenes power by doing menial jobs no one else wants that they could basically run the show if they wanted...

meanwhile we have Shen "meh good enough" Qingqiu

The Lamb is malicious in a funny way and the Goat is funny in a malicious way. No, I will not elaborate.

Anyway, everyone give thanks to the Lamb for interrupting what was sure to be a very boring and patronizing PSA from their grouchy cat hubby. Truly, they are doing God's work. Granted, the Lamb canonically is God now, so, uh. Mostly they're just doing their own work.

Speaking of their grouchy cat hubby, yes this is absolutely still Narilamb, Narinder is 100% into his goofy-ass spouse always no matter what and we all know it, he just wasn't expecting his brand new adopted kid to share the same single goofy-ass brain cell as the Lamb. :)

Why the gender is vibes

A thought

The thing about nonbinary gender identities is that "nonbinary" isn't a single gender identity. It's a category that contains a likely infinite list of different identities, which have only a single factor in common- not being male or female. Turns out that nonbinary isn't the "secret third option" so much as it is "all of everything that isn't in these two categories."

It's like if you were making a list of all the animals on Earth and said "There are seagulls, and there are whales, and then there's also everything else."

I think this explains why being nonbinary can mean such totally different things to different people, and why so many enbies describe their gender identity purely through vibes. It's why you have people say they feel like they're "clown gender" or "a blue space alien" or "this aesthetic image of colorful sand dunes in the desert."

Sometimes I imagine a world with totally different gender categories from our own. A world in which the genders are something like xemale, umale, and enmale. All of society would be structured around these three genders, and only these genders would have names. People we would in our world define as male or female would become nontrinary in this world. Without a name to call themselves, they'd have to resort to vibes too. Commenting under a picture of a garden, or a dollhouse, or a long skirt with "That's it, that's the gender." Being asked what their identity is and shrugging, saying "Picture a really muscular dude chopping wood in the forest, I guess? Like that." People might laugh and say, "They identify as a lumberjack! Don't be silly, that's not a gender!"

And no, lumberjack isn't a gender. But if someone doesn't have a word that describes their gender identity, vibes might be the only way they have to communicate what they're feeling.

I don't think the solution here is to give every possible identity a name though. That would be like trying to name every grain of sand on the beach. There are too many. A lot of people would probably object to having another strictly defined label slapped on them in general, as well.

I feel like the answer is, like always, to be more understanding of each other. To understand that when someone says "This hairstyle is so gender" they don't literally mean "I identify as a mullet." They're just doing their best to communicate the feeling of a concept with no name- which is awesome btw. That's like having a mantis shrimp explain to you what it's like to see colors your human eyes are incapable of perceiving. Rad as all heck, fill my mind with concepts that would otherwise be beyond my limited understanding.

y'all have no clue how wild it is to live in my timeline, because 12 years ago i was a huge fan of these cute lil' zelda strips and at the time i found out through the grapevine that the creator apparently stopped making these comics because they had started drawing NSFW content-

and at the time i was like "oh ok that's wild but respect"

and now in the present the artist who's making the OMORI manga adaption is under fire for being a shota fetishist and it's putting the spotlight back on the OMORI creator themselves for ALSO being a shota fetishist and oh my god the omocat who made those zelda comics over a decade ago is the same omocat who went on to make OMORI holy shit-

these days i'm thinking a lot about going back to uni which is scary because i'm not good with changes but also exciting because it's the first time i'm allowing me to picture a future for myself

[teh-nos]

u know what though... i don't think this facepalming is for the witnesses in the room, but i also don't think it's an "oh no, thor's so stupid" facepalm, i think it's a "why the fuck did i do that?" one. i don't think loki especially wants to invade jotunheim, he just thought it'd be a laugh to get thor to do it, but then oh shit thor is actually going to do that so now he needs to sabotage it somehow (telling the guard) but also:

"shit, i've fucked this up, haven't i?" it seemed like such a good idea two minutes ago. couldn't help himself. wouldn't it be funny if? but now they have to go to fucking jotunheim and he could so easily have just not done that. oops! facepalm time!

its monsterfucking hours again. maybe ive just been watching too many minecraft horror mods but i need an eldritch being of mass destruction obsessed with me right now sigh. -🪻

𝑬𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝟑𝑳𝑫

꩜ Room Content: GN! Researcher! Reader x Yandere! Ivory Wraith, no gendered terms for reader, mild horror(?), lmk if I missed out anything! ꩜ A/N: omg minecraft horror mod videos... is it by any chance The Obsessed? Hmmm honestly any character could have eldritch potential if you try hard enough. Tried out a new way of writing for this one, lmk if it's effective for this fic! ꩜ Spin this wheel and submit a prompt + character for a quick blurb!

Experiment 3LD, helmed by the renowned Dr. ▇▇▇▇▇. The experiment will be conducted over a period of 44 days. See below for the assistant researcher's compiled voice notes:

1VRY.

Day 4, 10.03am - Otherwise known as the Ivory Wraith, we have managed to contain it within a temporary holding cell for the time being. A more advanced enclosure facility is currently being built for it. Although we are still unsure of exactly its abilities work, a strict rule of no mirrors within a set radius has been implemented.

Day 13, 12.45pm - Monitoring the experiment subject proves to be challenging. Its behavior seems to vary wildly from staying abnormally still, akin to a statue carved from pure ivory, to clawing at its neck and stalking to and fro frantically in its cell. The sight is wildly unsettling resulting in all of the other researchers vacating the observation room.

Day 21, 4.38pm - It seems that we have managed to procure a relic related to the experiment subject. It is an ivory necklace, inset with deep blue jewels. The Ivory Wraith seems to have the ability to sense whenever someone is in contact with the relic, where as soon as one of the other researchers touches a part of the necklace, it immediately appears in front of the observation glass, its expression terrible and haunting. Due to this, most of the other researchers have requested to leave the research team, leaving myself as the sole and resulting, assistant researcher.

Day 32, 6.20pm - 1VRY has appeared to have realised that the sole researcher left on behind the observation glass is myself. Strangely enough, its aggressive behavior has lessened, as long as no contact is made with the ivory necklace relic. Now, it usually spends its days hovering around the front of its cell where the glass is, its gaze never parting from my position. Occasionally, trills and whispers are heard from the otherwise quiet surroundings. Its larger, more fully equipped enclosure facility is finally done and attempts to transfer 1VRY will be made in the coming days when the team is fully prepared.

Day 40, 10.13pm - Preparations by the researcher team, consisting solely of myself, and the moving team are almost complete. 1VRY's behavior has reverted back to before, where it is erratic and volatile, prone to lashing out at the observational glass whenever my presence is requested elsewhere, resulting in scratches engraved into the glass. The whispers have also grown in frequency, although no one else has reported hearing anything. Additionally, the same behavior is observed when someone else other than myself is also in the observation room. This has made it difficult to efficiently prepare for its transfer but with consistent effort, we estimate that it could be done in about 4 days' time.

Day 42, 11.04pm - The moving team has just packed up and moved the ivory necklace relic to the new enclosure facility. This however, contradicts the earlier observations of how 1VRY reacts aggressively to the relic being touched by people other than myself. As of right now, it is still continuing its previous docile behavior of simply staring through the glass. Stranger yet, it seems to shift into something more unnatural between bleary blinks. Something smiling too wide with too many teeth, its usual blue eyes a vivid red, along with a swath of tentacles behind its form. However, unnatural does not necessary equate to threatening, perhaps this could be a sort of tempting and alluring another individual. Or it could just be a mirage ability it has? Note to self: Stop staying too late in the observational room...

Day 43, 11.49pm - Terrible miscommunication has occurred between myself and the moving team. It turns out that the ivory necklace was not moved by them. And yet, no one else has come into contact with the relic. 1VRY's transfer must be done immediately with how the certain preparations only allow us a limited timeframe of working with it. There is no choice but for me to search for the relic so that the transfer can go through in the next few hours. Despite the ongoing panic beyond the glass, 1VRY has taken on a sort of behavior that suggests attraction towards something in the observational room. There is no available time for myself to properly document its new state as of the current situation, and it does not help that the lights overhead have been flickering. [Faint static can be heard before the voice note ends.]

Day 44, 12.11am - [The voice note is interspersed with bouts of static, making it hard to decipher at some parts.] I... I don't understand. Why is the ivory necklace in my ▇ab coat pocket? I haven't touched the relic since the contact tests c▇nduct▇d on it on Day 22. This makes no s▇nse. [Sounds of shuffling, presumably the researcher moving.] 1VRY...?

Day 44, 12.29am - [Alarms blare overhead. The static grows worse.] Thi▇ is terrible. The lights in th▇ holdin▇ cell have g▇ne out, altho▇gh it remains o▇ in here. There shou▇ be a flashl▇ght here somewhere. [Sounds of shuffling, then a click, presumably the flashlight turning on.] F▇ck f▇ck f▇ck f▇ck. Where is it? [A chilling laugh is heard, followed by a low trill before the voice note cuts out abruptly.]

Day 44, 12.44am - [The voice note is eerily quiet, no alarms or commotion in the background. The voice speaking is new.] Presented as gift, there is no thief. Drown with me. Forever.

Additional information:

Dr. ▇▇▇▇▇ has put out an order for this experimental failure to be kept under wraps. Not a single soul outside of the organisation can learn of this. Although, there have been rumors swirling of a mysterious file on their desk. [3LD - "Assistant Researcher"]

Need those nikita's stories so bad plsplspls🙏🏻

I read every single one I could get my hands on. Which wasn't a lot, only 4 (and there's an alleged 5th one, but I'm not sure it's not fake, too "out of ordinary" for Nikita, it's more like a creepypasta these days), but those were more than enough.

In all honesty, they're SO stupid and crazy that I'm not sure I wanna work on them and show them to people. At least not word for word, maybe abbreviated versions with less derogatory terms for all kinds of people, because I don't wanna spread this kinda talk. Doesn't matter if he was 100% serious about it or not. For the most part they're not even that funny, it's just ultraviolence for the sake of it, porn and absurd. You can say he was trolling, doing it for shock value and attention, and he was, at least to some extent (Nikita called it "drunken nonsense and sadistic fucking stories"), it feels forced and learned at times, but man... Not when you ACTUALLY start doing shit instead of just thinking about it. Imagine how these stories about brutally killing someone can be perceived now. 💀

TLDR: ANYWAY. WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY WITH THIS. The stories are FOUL. I don't wanna translate them word for word (it'd be EXTREMELY hard anyway). Just what's happening there in general, but without losing the meaning and anything important.
