I'm a 20 year old and I live with my mother. My parents are divorced and I know nothing about my father's side of family as I was very young when it happened. My father is from a "low caste" (as they call it) and my family had not approved the marriage but my mom still got married and lived separately for sometime. My father was abusive towards my mother and was a drunkard. He had a wife about whom he had not told my mother. My mother stayed there for a while and then eventually decided to leave. My mother's family gave their reaction.. they said things like, "we told her and she didn't listen. She deserves that." My mother took me and we lived in a rented place for years. It was just me and her. There was no one to take care of me while she was in office and so she would leave me at my friend's place. I would stay there as soon as I got back from school or when I had holidays. Finally years later, when I was 7 or 8, my mother took me to see her family. I remember the look in their eyes. They didn't even bother if I was there (they = my mother's 1st younger sister. She had 3 sisters). I could not understand what they were talking about so I don't remember. I was very naughty and stubborn back then. I was a revolting kind of kid and I did receive some lessons from my mother to make things straight. But as time went by, I went to visit the grandparents and my uncles. They were nice. I had one more aunt (my mother's youngest sister) who lived abroad, I met her as well. Now idk why but whenever I made a mistake or something they would indirect bring up my father. They would say things like "you are his daughter afterall." Even if I had just made a small mistake. At first I didn't feel anything but looking at my other cousin brother, they didn't say anything to him even if he made a mistake. I used to envy him and kind of felt left out. I used to go to a boarding school and so I only came back home for my vacation. There were no phones allowed there so when I got home, I would listen to music, dance, watch movies and videos. My family members would give me a "you are too much. What is she even doing her" kind of look to me every single time. I would visit my grandparents place and I would always feel left out. Maybe I was just expecting too much from them. Now I was a teenager when things got worse. I had an argument with my mother once and my first aunt (let's call her aunt A) Aunt A called my other aunt (the abroad one.. let's call her aunt B) aunt B and told her all nonsense. You know when you tend to make things bigger, you mix up all kinds of spices and what not just to make that a big issue.. that is what my aunt did. Aunt B called me and scolded me for no reason because of all the other additional things Aunt A had told her. This happened a couple of times. My mother got sick and had to go to Delhi for treatment and Aunt A went with her. The other family members took me in that time and would help me get to my hostel, bring me home for holidays and took care of me. My cousin brother's mother was also sick a few months earlier but she had returned home. One morning I told my grandmother that I wanted to talk to my mother but she refused so I took the phone secretly and called my mom. She said she had reached and told me not to worry. But when my other family members found out that I had called my mom, they all started scolding me. "Your cousin brother is a god-like kid. He never called or asked for his mother. While you, you have the behaviour of your father. You will eat your mother alive someday." I was 9 or 10 years old then.
I got into high school and the same thing happened. I would have a little argument, Aunt A would eavesdrop our conversation and add things up and say it to Aunt B. Aunt B would come home for festivals and would scold the hell out of me. She would compare me with all the other kids in the area and especially my cousin brother. One time I had opened a Facebook account and they found out. They literally stalked me account and called my mother and told her that I had only men in my friend list. She said, "Your daughter does not have a pure blood. She is her father's daughter afterall. She is impure and I know she is up yo something bad." (Basically she tried to tell my mom that I would hook up with boys just like my father had married his wives). Time went on and they said what not. "We are your family only till your mother is alive. After that you go do whatever you want." "If you do this, if you do that, remember we are not your family. Don't call us that time." If they heard me sharing my problems with my mother, they would say "You are going to kill your mother. She is sick because of you." One time I was separating my old and new clothes and my mother was also there sitting in the sofa near me. I was tossing of my old clothes near the door so that it would be easier but then the next day after my classes I got a call from Aunt B. She told me that I had done the most terrible thing ever. Someone told her that I threw my clothes at my mother's face. She said "I love my sister (my mom) but seems like you will never love her." I was so done. She also blamed me for talking bad about my other cousins when I hadn't even done that. I used to joke with my mom saying that she cares for my younger cousins way more when I am away in hostel. But that thing took a turn. Still they tell me a lot of things. "You are showing your father's behaviour" this one is the most common one. I am a short-tempered, stubborn kid and I accept it. I could be at fault, too (and I do apologise for that). They call me "Kami", this might be a very communal thing to bring out, but yeah, it's basically what you call a SC if you are in a Nepali community. They sometimes use it to mock people as well. My family does that. I don't want to feel like way and try to be as optimistic as possible, but it is like that because for the same mistakes that are made by my other cousins, they never said anything. Every mistake, every situation, every argument, I am the bad guy. Why? Because my father who left years ago, when I couldn't even remember his face, was a drunkard, cheated on my mom and hated my mom's family because they did not like him and I am his daughter. The only person with a different title/surname in the family. What should I believe? Is it verbal abuse? Or? Please, someone tell me.

7 years ago I met a guy who had 2 children. They were living with their Aunt and when they were 2 and 3yrs old they were placed in mine and my partners care due to abuse suffered in their aunts care.
2 years later we broke up and he disappeared, leaving the children with me.
I got a social worker and I fostered them. The intention was for them to stay with me until they were 18 but we were struggling to obtain an SGO as their aunt already had one which had not been revoked.
For 2 years we battled to have the aunts SGO revoked, social services tried for those 2 years to find Dad too but he left no trail.. it was a nightmare.
Then one day social worker came out and said Dad had been in contact with her.. he wanted to see his kids. He had gotten another woman pregnant and wanted contact with these children too.
Children were 7 and 8yrs old at this point and the older child didn't want contact. (Dad was very abusive and she sadly remembered a lot of it and would draw pictures of the abuse with her social worker)
Then a few months later, social said dad would have face to face contact on a Saturday.
The day before first contact, I picked older child up from school and she was poorly. So I took her to hospital. Turns out she had a severe asthma attack and they wanted to keep her in over night.
I had an almost 2yr old baby at this time and nobody to care for him and the hospital wouldn't allow baby to stay at the hospital with us.
Hospital had no choice but to ask her dad to stay the night with her.. no issue as he was due to have her the following morning anyway.
She was angry, scared, upset, begged me not to leave. Tears from us all, i had no choice and i didnt sleep that night at all.
The next morning, dad brought her home and she said to me as soon as she walked through the door, "I want to go live with my dad".
She would say things like, "you're not my real mam."
It turns out during the night in hospital dad had told her about the new baby, had allowed her to video call her aunt, painted a picture of an amazing life etc.
She went from being terrified of him to wanting to live with him in the space of a few hours.
The next 2 weeks were hell. She had never been placed on the naughty step before, or grounded before, never had tantrums.. but she spent the next 2 weeks throwing things, getting put on the naughty step, hurting baby and smirking at me after and then saying, "you gonna send me to my dad's yet then?"
She would go upstairs and scream as loud as she could and jump off the bunk bed ladders so hard to make as loud a bang as possible, so much so that my kitchen light doesn't switch on anymore.
She had me in tears every day. She was my little shadow and best friend for 5 years and now she didn't want to be here anymore and I was heartbroken.
Dad is an awful person and his new partner was no better. From what I hear they are the street tramps, her ex husband died of a drug overdose and she had 3 kids who were in her mothers care (albeit voluntarily)
Anyway after 2 weeks of this, i was driving with her in the front seat and she kept nipping and pulling at my arm and saying things like, "send me to my dads. Youre not my real mam." When telling her to stop hitting me she would keep repeating, "Dad said i dont have to listen to you, i can do what i want".
We were doing a little over 40mph on a country lane, coming up to a bend with plenty cars coming from the other way and she pulled my arm so hard we swerved.. just very little but enought to scare the life out of me.
I've never been so scared and i shouted at her. No.. i screamed at her. I SWORE at her.
"I'm fucking driving!!!! What the hells the matter with you you're gonna fucking kill us all!"
There was nowhere to stop for a few hundred yards, younger child was crying in the back seat, baby was also in the back seat thankfully oblivious as to what had happened.. then she went to grab me again so I slapped her hand away. Raised her hand again, I slapped it away a second time.
First time I have ever ever laid hands on her. It was definitely called for to stop a potentially fatal accident, but the shame I felt was like nothing I've felt before.
I finally got to the junction and pulled in to stop and I sobbed.
She was silent.. the shock of me slapping her had stopped her. I knew then that things were very very bad, id lost my cool for the first time. So I gave in to her and said I'd speak to her dad about her going to stay.
The following morning I took her to her dad's. I hoped that after spending a few days in that hell hole would make her realise what she would lose but once there, dad wouldn't let her come back even when she begged to.
Then he demanded money for her. He wanted £85 per week, "until he claimed for her himself".
Well he never had any intention of claiming himself because, little did I know at the time, I was sending way too much money. He wouldn't even get half of that if he claimed for her himself.
8 weeks went by with him making various threats to me (he's abusive, one of the worst people to grace this planet) and he knew I was too scared to stand up to him because his biggest threat in all the time I'd known him was to make sure I'd never see his kids again.
But then one day it came to a head and I stood up to him. I wish I hadn't.
I told him from now on I wanted all communication between me and him to go through our social worker. I told him I would be blocking him and.. stupidly.. I told him to put the claim in for the child because I refused to send any more money.
I had been asking him most days for 8 weeks if he had put the claim in because not only was I sending him money, but the DWP would also take it off me again because those 8 weeks of payments were classed as overpayment. So I'd be losing £170 per week in the long run.
Well next thing I know I have a text from a friend asking what was happening. There was a status on his partners Facebook saying I was withholding childs belongings (she had everything with her by this point, except her things in the shed but hadn't yet asked for. I was constantly sending belongings over, there was nothing else left here belonging to her except her bike and scooter etc)
The Facebook post said that I stopped her money so she couldn't have any nice things, then calling me a "fat, gummy c*nt" and that they would "have the last laugh".
I didn't respond but I showed the social worker.
By this point, social worker seemed a bit "off" with me.
For years all I'd had was praise over how well the children were progressing and the beautiful life i was providing them.. now it felt weird.. like they were siding with dad.
The following week, I took younger child to school and she didn't get to come home.
Social called me after i dropped her at school asking me to send some belongings into school because older child had made a allegations against me. So younger child couldnt come back yet.
The allegations;

• I had hit her - yes true, a smack to avoid a potentially fatal accident. I fully understand this allegation and I accept this fully. And I feel shame for this all the time.
  
• But then also a full lie - I had tried to drown her that summer when we went paddle boarding.
  

Social said 'child' had told them I had physically held her head under water to drown her.
Now, I fully believe social services made up the allegation so they could have a reason to send the younger child to her dads too. They had stated a few weeks before that because of the "logistics" they couldnt have one child with dad and one child eith me.
They had struggled for 7 years to close this case and if they could get both children back into their dads care they could finally close it.
One child was already there, they just needed a reason to get second child over. And that allegation did it.
So second child had to go to dad's while they looked into the "allegation"
Now dad's partner did say they would have the last laugh, but at 8 years old I don't think the child could be coached into saying something as big as that. And she certainly wouldn't have made it up herself.
But social services know we did a lot of outdoor activities and spent a lot of time on the water that summer. Are they corrupt enough to say something like this? Or perhaps purposely twist the child's stories of jumping in the water, splashing eachother, swimming etc to make it seem like she's said something to insinuate she was being drowned?
However I will say, never once did she ever come home with fully wet hair. Wet pigtails - yes.. but never a fully wet head.
Not once in all the time we went paddle boarding did she ever go under the water.
Even when jumping off the board, she would jump and do a sort of "half turn" so she could catch hold of the board so she wouldn't go fully under.
Part of my grief and anger is that this is the lie that took them from me forever, and I'll never get to know who said it.
Now, then because of the allegation they wanted to hold this really big meeting.. I can't remember what the meeting was called but it would include social, teachers, doctors, police (perhaps), and myself and their dad.
They then said my son could be affected by this - insinuating I could lose custody of my baby too.
At this time social were being very careful not to let me have any contact, knowing I'd try to ask who came up with this whole drowning thing and throw a spanner in their works.
But when they mentioned my son would be part of the case, I freaked out. I couldn't risk my baby.
So I told social worker, "fine, I give up, I won't fight to bring them home."
They called me back the next morning to tell me that I would no longer need to attend the meeting and my son would no longer be included in the case. When i asked why, she said "because youre not going to fight for the girls anymore. You're no longer part of this case".
OK so, I've been accused of attempted murder (effectively!) And you've removed the children from me and then also insinuated to might also remove my own child, but you're going to drop everything if I don't put a fight for my ex partners children???????
So social knew the whole drowning thing was made up (I do fully believe it was social themselves who made it up though)
It's very clear to me that they just needed a way to close the case as it had been open for way too long.
What was supposed to be a 45 day case turned into 4 years with still no end in sight , until finally dad popped him ugly head back up.
When I finally got a solicitor after their dad came back on the scene, social seemed to panic and they started acting strange with me.
It's clear they did all of this to cover their own backs. Destroying our family and our lives for their own gain.
Cruel.
I have now spent the past almost 2 years in a state of anger and fear against social services.
And now, the anger is dissolvong and full grief has taken hold.
I cry for them almost every day. If not every day.
I miss them. Life is poor without them. My little boy lost his 2 best friends in the world.
I lost the children I gave my whole heart to. Who I had intended to be Mummy to, for life.
They were my whole world.
They still are my world. And the grief is horrendous.
I've had no contact since the day the second child was not allowed to come home from school.
It's been almost 2 years. And I don't know how to get past it.
I've never told this whole story before because it's so long and confusing and hard for me to make sense of, not knowing the truth of who made all this up. So this is all word vomit.
If you've read this, thank you. I just needed to tell someone.
I don't know how to get over this grief. It feels as though they died that day and it's so, so hard. So hard.
I had a dream they came to stay and I played with their hair.. put some lovely clean white socks on them (I don't know why lol) spent the entire night with all the littles in my bed reading stories.
I cling to that dream. It does make me feel like they came back for a minute.
I can only hope they remember me and want to find me again when theyre old enough. I almost moved house not too long ago and I called it off so I could be here for them. I can never leave this place, just incase.
I love you H&M. I'll always be waiting here for you.
Mam.

An hour after getting back from the Mason apartment, Bruce Kenner had the distinct misfortune of meeting Bertha Henderson.
A plump, gaudy woman with wrinkles and sun beaten skin only an alligator could love, Bertha Henderson wore bright red lipstick, bright red rouge, and way too much mascara. Her tangled hair was a dull red color and her clothes - pink pants and a white floral top - stretched tight across her bulbous frame. She looked like the kind of woman who lived in a trailer with velvet pictures of Elvis on the wall and pink flamingos in the front yard.
She acted like one too.
From the moment she stormed into his office, she hadn’t shut up once. She scolded, chided, accused, and badgered, sometimes even wagging one fat finger in his face like he was a naughty little boy. Ten minutes into the dressing down and Bruce was beginning to fantasize about police brutality.
It took him another ten minutes to find out what the hell she even wanted.
“It’s my granddaughter,” she shot back, “she’s missing in your town.”
My town? Lady, this is barely my office. I share it with three other people.
“Well, if you’ll calm down, maybe I can help.”
Jesus Christ was that the wrong thing to say. She hit the roof and didn’t come down again until Bruce was this close to arresting her for assault on a police officer. “Young man, I do not appreciate the way you’re talking to me. My tax dollars are the only reason you have a job. If it wasn’t for me, you’d be working at a car wash.”
At least I wouldn’t have to deal with you.
Bruce took a deep breath and held his tongue in check. “How can I help you?” he asked.
“I told you, my granddaughter is missing. If you listened to me, you’d know this already.”
Bertha produced a picture and slid it across the desk. Bruce studied it. A girl, roughly sixteen with black hair, blue eyes, and dimples smiled back at him. “She;’s with that Rossi man, I just know it,” she said bitterly.
“Who?” Bruce asked.
Rolling her eyes like he was stupid, the old woman told him the story. Jessie - the dimple faced girl - had the rotten luck of having to live with Grandma Bertha after her parents went to jail on drug charges. They lived in Sand Lake, a little town in the mountains outside Albany, where Bertha was no doubt loved and admired by all. One day, Jessie, who her grandmother lovingly described as “A little troublemaker”, ran off. Bruce didn’t blame her. He’d known Bertha for half an hour and he wanted to run off. Bertha did some snooping on Jessie’s laptop and found that the “little whore” had been chatting with an older man, Joe Rossi. Rossi, or so Facebook said, lived in Albany and worked at Club Vlad.
“I want him arrested for pedophilia,” Bertha said and crossed her arms defiantly over her chest. “He’s a dog just like all men. She’s probably pregnant already. Another mouth I have to feed.”
Behind the old battle ax, Vanessa appeared in the doorway and lifted her brows as if to say What a piece of work. Knowing her, she’d probably been standing just out of sight this whole time with McKenny, the elderly evidence clerk, and snickering into her hand like a little girl. LOL she called him young man.
Bertha noticed him looking over her shoulder and started to turn. Vanessa’s face went white and she ducked out of the way, narrowly avoiding detection. “I’m glad you think this is funny,” Bertha said to Bruce. “Meanwhile, if I don’t get Jessie back, the state’s going to stop sending me my checks. I need that income. I can’t work, you know. I have gout.”
Too bad being an asshole isn’t a job, you’d be world-famous
“I’ll go talk to him,” Bruce said.
“I want more than talk, young man, I want action.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
When Bertha finally decided to waddle off and ruin someone else’s day, Vanessa came in and sat in the chair the old woman had so recently occupied. “Oh, my God,” she said, “that was intense. I was this close to radioing in a 1015.”
1015 was code for officer down.
“Funny,” Bruce said without a trace of humor. He had kids going missing, a dead guy someone moved around like a goddamn Barbie doll, and now this. What next, hemorrhoids?
“What do you think? Code 1 or code 2?”
Code 1 meant top priority. Code 2 meant not a top priority. Bruce thought for a moment. It didn’t sound like Jessie Henderson was in danger. It sounded like she met a guy - granted, one too old for her - and decided to hide out with him from her psycho grandma. Maybe it could be something more, but he had a gut feeling that it wasn’t…and his gut feelings were usually right. “2,” he finally said. “I got shit to do.”
By shit, he meant “Talk to the families of those missing boys again.” He’d been interviewing them for two days looking for clues, but there was nothing. It’s like they just vanished. Bruce didn’t like this. He didn’t like it at all.
“Well, I’ll leave you to it,” Vanessa said and slapped the desk.
When she was gone, Bruce sighed.
Never a dull moment, he thought.
***
Ed Harris - no relation to the Hollywood actor - had been the medical examiner for the City of Albany since 2002, and in all that time, he had never seen anything quite like this.
It was Wednesday evening and Ed was locked away in the cold, sterile space beneath the city offices that comprised his domain. With its puke green tiles, harsh lights, and cloying smells of disinfectant, the .coroner's office creeped most people out, but not Ed. He was at home here, as comfortable surrounded by toe-tagged bodies as a cactus was surrounded by desert. A thin man in his fifties with curly, steel gray hair thinning in the middle, he wore a white smock, blood stained over his clothes that made him look like a butcher instead of a low level government functionary. He had a dark and dry sense of humor, but then again, so do all people who play with dead bodies for fun and profit.
The coroner’s office was a vast, utilitarian vault segmented into multiple different rooms. Here, where the magic happened, three stainless steel tables stood in a row; a bank of refrigerated drawers kept watch, making sure nothing funny happened. One of the cold fluorescent lights overhead flickered with a hum of electricity, and water dripped rhythmically from a faucet. It was a cold, eerie place, but to Ed, it was home.
On most nights, only one of the tables was occupied, but tonight, two were. On one lay an old lady who died of what appeared to be cyanide poisoning. On the other was Dominick Mason.
Naked save for a white cloth draped over his groin to protect his dignity, Dom was the most corpsy corpse you’d ever hope to see. In fact, if you looked up dead guy in the dictionary, you’d see a picture of him. His body was pale and sunken, one side covered in purple splotches where his blood had pooled, and his eyes were closed. His abdomen was slightly distended with the expected build up of gas, and his flesh stuck fast to the bones beneath. In other words, he was text book. A normal corpse.
Mostly normal.
As men of his trade are wont to do when strange bodies mysteriously appear, Ed had opened Dom up, making a Y shaped incision from his neck to his groin. He hummed to himself as he did so, his hands wielding his sharp and shiny tools with the deft assuredness of a seasoned surgeon. Done cutting, he dipped his gloved hands into the cavity and started removing organs. A spleen here, a liver there, nothing Dom would miss. When he got to the heart, however, he stopped.
There was something…off…about it. At first glance, it was black and withered like an oversized raisin. An odd and putrid odor emanated from it and though he was familiar with the various smells and stenches the human body produced after death, this wasn’t one of them. Try as he might, he couldn’t place it, couldn’t even compare it to anything. Plucking a magnifying glass from the metal cart next to the table, he peeled back part of Dom’s chest and examined the heart closer.
That’s when things got really weird.
Dominick Mason’s heart was, indeed, shriveled, but it was not black. Instead, it was almost entirely covered by an interlacing crisscross of what appeared to be black mold. Here and there, Ed could glimpse flashes of the heart beneath: It was wrinkled and a sickly gray color. “What is this?” Ed asked himself at length. He grabbed a pair of tweezers from the tray and carefully, very carefully, attempted to remove a piece of the mold for analysis. The moment the cold metal tips touched the heart, it gave a violent spasm that sent Ed falling back with a shocked gasp, the tweezers falling from his hand and clinking to the tiled floor.
The heart began to pulse like an alien egg sac, slowly at first, then more rapidly. For a moment, Ed was frozen in place, unable to comprehend what he was seeing. Once you die, your heart ceases beating. That’s that. Only living hearts beat, and Dominick Mason was certainly dead. He was dead from the moment Ed first laid eyes on him earlier that day and he was dead now. Yet there was his heart, beating anyway.
It could be a muscle spasm. They usually aren’t that violent and consistent, but dead bodies sometimes do strange things. As he watched the blackened muscle expanding and contracting, however, Ed had the most eerie feeling. He went to rub the back of his neck, realized he was still wearing blood soaked gloves, and stripped them off. He was spooking himself out; he needed a break and a hot cup of coffee. He’d come back fresh and start over again.
With that mold.
Could you really blame him for being creeped out? That stuff wasn’t normal. He’d never seen anything like that before, not even in textbooks. Dom was scrawny and didn’t get enough vitamins in life, but overall, he was healthy; that mold…or whatever it was…had no business being there.
Going over to the coffee pot, which stood in the same room to save travel time, Ed grabbed a styrofoam cup. When he was done here, he planned to go home and -
A terrible, metallic clatter rang out, and Ed jumped. He turned around, and when he saw Dominick Mason standing next to the table, hunched slightly over and staring at him, an electric burst of fright shot up his spine and exploded in his brain, so strong it made the edges turn gray. Pale, hands hooked into talons, and the flaps of his chest hanging open to reveal the cavity beneath, Dominick Mason looked for all the world like a boy who’d been caught sneaking out to meet his girlfriend. A weak, involuntary, “Oh, God,” slipped from Ed’s trembling lips, and the spell was broken. Dom came alive and ran toward the door leading out to the parking lot. He slammed through it, and the sound of it crashing open and then falling closed again echoed through the empty chamber.
Shaking, panting for air, and soaked in piss, Ed sank to the floor in a sitting position, his eyes wide and staring like those of a soldier returning damaged from the front.
It was a long time before he composed himself enough to call the police.
***
Dazed and caught in a nightmarish twilight realm where nothing made sense, Dominick Mason limped painfully down the sidewalk, a stranger lost in a strange land filled with danger and hostile creatures. Barefoot and shrouded in a white sheet, he trembled with cold and struggled to ignore the dark, threatening shapes looming from the fog in his brain, shapes that would turn into unspeakable truths if he let them.
Passersby openly stared at him, their expressions either morbidly curious, disgusted, or alarmed. A man put his arm protectively around his girlfriend; a woman pulled her little boy to her breast, and another man sneered at him, his nose crinkling. Dom, his glazed eyes narrowed against the harsh glare of the many street lamps, headlights, and storefronts, lumbered headlong toward nowhere, his fear growing until he was shambling. He imagined he could hear every cough, every whisper; smell the odor of every unwashed body. Each car horn was deafening, every whiff of ass or armpits sent his stomach churning. The rustle of a passing pedestrian’s jacket jammed into his ears like icepicks, and the approaching globes of LED headlamps burned his eyes. He gritted his teeth and groaned against the pain.
The dense mist wrapping his brain made it hard to think. Like a frightened animal, he made his way on instinct alone. Home. He needed to get home. Out here, on the street, he was exposed. At home, locked away in his small apartment, he would be safe.
A car passed in the street, bass heavy rap music blaring from its open windows, and Dom’s brain exploded with agony. He threw himself against a street sign and held on for dear life, his legs weak. Dizziness overwhelmed him, and he almost went down. He was also cold.
So, so cold.
People around him quickened their step; they never took their eyes off him, as though he were a venomous snake that would strike at any moment. He needed to get away from them. They were going to hurt him; people always hurt him.
Pushing away from the sign, he began to hobble once more toward home, wherever home was. He looked over his shoulder several times as he made his way down Central Avenue, and each time, he saw that no one was following him as he had feared.
No one, that is, except for the man in sunglasses.
Tall and lank with curly hair, he wore dark Aviators and a leather motorcycle jacket over a button up shirt. His hands were thrust deep into his pockets and his face showed no expression. He was always there, always a few steps closer. Outside Capital Fried Chicken, a group of people openly stared at him, He heard their whispers as he passed. What’s wrong with him? Dude’s straight tweakin. And the one that struck him the most. That guy looks dead.
Dom hobbled faster, as if to outrun the realization that he was, in fact, dead. The man in sunglasses was closer now, his footsteps so loud that Dom winced. He turned around, and the man was impossibly in front of him. Dom ran into him and bounced backward, going ass over tea kettle and landing on the former. They were in front of a church on a darkened corner, the lights here either burned out or shot out - you could never tell in Albany. Even though it was dark, Dom could see everything with crystal clarity. Dom tried to scurry away, but he was too weak to escape. Right there and then, he decided to give up. Come what may, he just wanted this nightmare to be over.
The man stared down at him, emotionless, unspeaking.
Dom squirmed.
“You’re real lucky I came along,” the man said. His tone was flat, even.
Dead.
“Get up,” he said, “I’ll take you home.”
Home?
Yes.
Dom wanted to go home.
The man helped him up, and Dom followed him into the night.

Bruce Kenner stood in the middle of the medical examiner’s office at half past nine that evening with his hands on his hips and stared doubtfully down at Ed Harris. The lonely cavern was alive with activity as cops went over everything, all of them looking either bemused or a mused. Bruce was neither. He’d been at home, sitting in his chair and having a beer in front of AEW Dynamite when Vanessa called. “You might wanna get down here,” she said, sounding confused, “something really strange is going on.”
Ed Harris - no relation to that one guy - sat in a straight back chair beside his cluttered desk and gripped a styrofoam cup of coffee in both hands, putting Bruce - for some reason - in mind of a monkey. When Bruce came in, the old man was white as a sheet and shook like a leaf. In the last half hour, little had changed.
“Tell me again,” Bruce said.
He and Ed were pretty good friends. He knew that Ed knew standard police procedure. Cops don’t ask you to repeat your story a thousand times over because they’re forgetful fucks, they do it because telling it again and again helps to jog loose details that you might have forgotten. Ed, therefore, did not protest. “I turned my back,” he said and chopped the chair like Jackie Chan, “and I heard the noise.”
His voice was thick, unsteady, and halting. He sounded as squirrely as he looked…and he looked pretty damn squirrelly right now.
“I turned around…and he was looking at me. He was standing there and he was looking at me.”
This was the fourth time he’d had Ed go through the story, and nothing had changed. Bruce felt something stirring deep inside his gut. It was either disquiet…or he had to fart. He opened his mouth to speak, but sighed.
“You don’t believe me,” Ed said.
“I dunno, Ed. Dead bodies don’t just get up and walk away.”
Ed flashed. “I know that, goddamn it, but this one did.”
Bruce glanced at Vanessa. She looked uncomfortable.
“Are you sure he was dead?” Bruce asked.
Ed opened his mouth, closed it again, and said, “I did the autopsy.” His voice broke on the last word, and he sounded almost like he was pleading. “His fucking liver’s on the floor. He stepped on it. The man has nothing in him. I-I’m telling you, there’s no way he’s alive.”
During the autopsy, Ed had sat Dominick Mason’s organs on the little tray table where he kept his pointy things. Mason knocked it over while getting up. Indeed, there were human organs on the floor, and one of them did look kind of squished. Bare, bloody footprints led to the exit door, up a set of concrete steps, and then disappeared in the alley behind the office.
“You said you left his heart,” Bruce said.
“And his brain,” Vanessa helpfully added.
Ed pinched the bridge of his nose like a put upon professor dealing with two particularly stupid students. “Even with his heart and his brain, he’s dead. You saw the livor mortis. He was cold, he was stiff. His heart wasn’t beating, he wasn’t breathing. He was in one of those drawers for nine hours, not breathing, no blood flow - it’s impossible. It’s just…it’s impossible. I don’t care what you think, he was dead. And even if somehow he wasn’t, I cut out almost everything. I opened his stomach, I took his spleen - you don’t just get up from that. You don’t walk away from that, much less run.”
Bruce chewed the inside of his bottom lip because he didn’t have a Twix. He didn’t look like the smartest man in the world…and he wasn’t…but he knew a dead body when he saw one, and the body they took out of Dominick Mason’s apartment was D.E.A.D. And like Ed said, even if by some freak fluke of nature he wasn’t, he couldn’t just get up and go about his day with no liver, spleen, or kidneys. Hell, Bruce had his gallbladder out and he couldn’t even walk away from that.
“You said there was something funny about his heart,” Vanessa said.
Ed finished off his coffee. “Yeah. It was…moldy. I-I’ve never seen anything like it.”
“Is it possible that…has something to do with it?”
“Unless the rules of biology have changed overnight, no,” Ed stated.
While Ed poured himself another cup of Joe, spilling some because he was still shaking, Vanessa took Bruce aside. “So what do you think?” she asked. “Is he telling the truth?”
For that, Bruce did not have an immediate answer. All else aside, he was a cop. He followed the evidence - and his gut instinct - wherever it led him. Ed was a sober man - he was not a drunk, insane, or stupid - and no man on earth could fake the look of trauma in his eyes. Bruce’s eyes went to the bloody footprints leading away from the exam table and his stomach roiled. It might be cliched, but there had to be a rational explanation. “Yeah,” he finally said. “The kid got up like he said, but there’s no way he was dead. Maybe…I dunno, he had a surge of adrenaline or something. I’m not a doctor.”
“That’ll only get him so far,” Vanessa said. “We’ll probably find him on the street somewhere.”
He went back to the purple splotches on Dom’s face, to his cold stiffness. There’s no way he was dead?
Bruce was confused, and he hated being confused.
“I dunno,” he said, “maybe.”
But he had the gnawing feeling that they wouldn’t. They would never find him…and Bruce would be confused forever.
Goddamn it, Mason, he thought, where are you?

Okay… this is me about to be incredibly truthful for once in my entire life. We all have secrets…. But I have a lot. I KNOW there’s something very wrong with me. I’ve been like this my whole life.
I’ll start from the beginning, as far back as I can remember and try to paraphrase a lot of this.
I’ve always been a show off. I’ve always craved attention. I was an only child. My father abandoned me and my mother. Messed up part was my father was a pedofile I guess. My mother was 15 and he was her teacher. I never knew my father. Never met him. My mother wouldn’t tell me much about him.
When I started to go to school, I always wanted to be the center of attention. I was rude, argumentative and selfish all from an early age… we’re taking like from age 5. I would lie about everything. It didn’t matter what it was. I wanted everyone to like me. So I would lie and say I was rich. I would steal money from my mother’s purse just to prove that I was rich to my school mates. I didn’t really have friends because I was hard to get along with. I was a spiteful child. Once I hurt a little boy (we were the same age) just because other people liked him more than me. In school I was quite smart in the early years. Really good at reading, math, spelling. Things like that. But I didn’t really have friends. This was down to me ruining friendships. I would go to kids houses and ruin it. I’d be selfish, I wouldn’t share, I was violent. The violence issue is kind of a two issue thing. My mother was violent to me. I think that made me violent to other kids. It was serious abuse. She would do things that were sickening. Burn me, cut me, suffocate me, tie me up, starve me. But her excuse was that I was naughty and needed to be taught a lesson. I don’t know if I was violent because my mother was violent…. But I’m physically weak. That’s the funny part. When I was a young, like age 5 to 9 other children weren’t as violent as me. So if I lashed out at another child, they would be hurt and cry. I wasn’t strong, it’s just the other kids weren’t violent. But after age 10, the other kids started to fight back…. I became the “victim”…. I started to get beat up a lot. Most of the time it wasn’t because I was fighting and losing. I kind of realized that I wasn’t as strong as the other kids…. But my mouth…. Oh my mouth would get my ass kicked. A real dumbass. I would get my ass kicked and still keep running my mouth. But although I was physically weak, I would act like I was a real tough guy. That became my thing…. To make people believe I was tough. The same way I wanted people to think I was rich, I wanted people to believe that I could fight. I remember realizing that no one liked me in my school when I was 11. So much so that I chose to go to a new school far away from my old one, in the hopes that no one would know me and I could have a fresh start. This would have worked. But my character was still the same. I started at a new school. A fresh start. A chance to stop the lies….. nope. I told them I was rich. “I had all these clothes and sneakers, but I wasn’t allowed to bring them to school”…. I told people I was really good at sports (I sucked at every sport). I was skinny… really skinny. Tiny little wrists and forearms. Looked like a girl (I’m a man). At age 12, this is the age where other kids go through puberty and behavior changes. Now my fake tough guy attitude was no longer tolerated and I started to get beaten up a lot. I would say sarcastic and rude things to the wrong people. One thing about me is I didn’t really have fear in that way. What started as a fresh start in a new school, ended up getting me a reputation as a loser. The other kids didn’t like me. They all knew I lied a lot. They all knew I used to get beaten up a lot. In some cases I did get bullied. Buy it was because I was trying to fit in with certain crowds and they knew I wasn’t really one of them and they decided to clown me. Girls never liked me when I was young. Too skinny, too girly and weak looking. I ended up slacking on my school work so now I wasn’t that academically inclined anymore. But I had to keep lying to my mother. She had to believe that I was the top of the class. I would tell her that I was popular in school. Good at sports and really intelligent. I moved around from school group to school group, trying to fit in. The cool kids were beating me up after they realized I was a fake. The sporty kids would beat me up and clown me after they realized I couldn’t play any sports. So I went to the smart kids. The less popular kids. But I was an asshole and always thought I was better than other people. So they ended up not liking me either. I felt so alone and isolated. But I was too blind at the time to see that this was all my fault.
Lying….. lying became my thing. I would lie about anything. Imagine I’ve had an uneventful day at school. I would get home and say some random lie like “someone set a fire in school today and I saw it”…. No fire happened. I know that I did this because I wanted to have attention. But I lied about everything.
When I got to the age of being interested in girls, this was a sad time for me. Girls didn’t like me. Well…. I think some did like me, but I had such a bad reputation that it was embarrassing to be with me. So I would try to go to other towns and talk to girls in shopping malls with one friend that used to beat me up and belittle me…. (That’s a long story. But I didn’t have much options for friends)…. I noticed that girls in other towns that didn’t know me would show me interest. I liked that. I got to be someone else completely. But I was only like 15 at this time. At this age everyone is law and gone through puberty and I was just starting. A weak, skinny teenage boy with no muscle definition. Who loved to show off and lie. So I started to wear multiple layers of clothing because I didn’t want people to know I was so skinny. I was almost medically skinny even though I ate. So I would wear like 3 or 4 sweaters to look “normal”…. I was that skinny. I told you everything about me was fake.
I discovered porn at quite an early age and got an addiction for it. I loved women’s body’s. I lost my virginity at 16. I ended up meeting a girl that thought I was cute. She was also a virgin. We dated. But I treated her like shit. I would show off and tell everyone that I was a player. I would walk around holding her by the wrist, just so other guys would think I was the man…. Karma is truly real, because at 16 I walked into that girls house when her parents were away and she was having sex with another teenage boy. Karma….
So at this age I eventually met a new girl. From another town. One where no one knew me. I had problems at home and my mother kicked me out at age 16. So I moved to a young persons hostel in a new town. Met lots of new people. But the cycle of showing off started again. Make people believe that I was a gangster, a tough guy that wasn’t scared of anyone. Lie about everything. Eventually things went really bad for me in this new town, my fake life and facade got my ass kicked a few too many times. I mouthed off to the wrong people a few too many times, to the point that I had to flee that town. I was only 17.
I then decided to move to a city. A fresh start. No one would know me. I think these “fresh starts” were my way of trying to find a place where I could lie and be believed and never found out.
The city was worse lol. In the city the trouble that finds you is worse. But now I changed physically. I was 18. And all of a sudden young women started to notice me. I all of a sudden became “handsome” I guess. This became a problem. Why you might ask…. I was a violent person with a bad attitude, but I couldn’t fight to save my life and I was weak…. Imagine of all of sudden I learned how to fight…. I would have become a nightmare. Well this is what happened with my looks. I realized that girls liked my face now. And I became a womanizer. And very good at it too. I would have no issues with having sex with multiple women. I was a liar…. A good liar. I mean I could be caught off guard and tell you a convincing lie within a split second, plus I was/am a good looking guy. But I was never honest with women. I would lead them to believe that I was their boyfriend, and make them think I was faithful. I would spend nights on the phone to 6 girls or so. I racked up a crazy number of women that I had slept with. A number that you would think within itself must be a lie. But my life became sex. My focus was to meet women, get them to fall in love with me, and have sex with them. I used to tell myself that the only reason I was sleeping with so many women, was because I was looking for the perfect woman. A perfect face, perfect body etc. The reality was, this was true on some level…. But the perfect woman would never exist, because there would always be someone prettier. Nothing and no one was enough for me. I got bored very quickly. I would sleep with a woman once or twice and not want to talk to her again. But if she was really pretty, then I would want her to be my girlfriend…. This happened with many women. I look back and think how the hell did I manage to juggle so many “girlfriends”… But it was easier when I was younger, because the women were younger too.. They required less time and attention. I was really good at it. Really good at covering my tracks. I never got caught….. At the time. I’m in my early 40s now. So social media wasn’t really a thing when I was young and running around like my penis would fall off if I didn’t have sex. I would make sure that I didn’t have too many women within the same neighborhood. Fast forward to my early twenties. I had a main girlfriend. One whom I convinced myself I loved. However, whilst I was in a relationship with her I had sex with more women than when I was “single”. I became a hunter. Facebook was in its prime at this point. I started to go to the gym. Being skinny, I became ripped quite quickly. I would send messages to women and make sure I had thirst trapping photos. Facebook and instagram became my hunting ground. I no longer had to walk the streets. I stopped going out. I would only go to work, come home and talk to women on social media. It became a sport. Could I get the pretty women on social media to give me attention, and then how quickly could I get them to come to my house and have sex. I didn’t target easy “prey”… In fact I had very little interest in the women that were easy. I wanted the ones that were going o be hard work. If she was incredibly beautiful, and had a sexy body, I would pursue her. I’m not saying I was always successful. But…. I did well. A strange thing that I did…. I would keep a record of how many women I had sex with. I have sex with a woman and then I write down her name in chronological order. It started on paper, and then evolved to an electronic record. The problem with having sex with so many women. Other than the obvious sexually transmitted infections. Was that humans naturally get attached.. Especially when sex is involved and words of love are told. So I had to make these women leave me alone after I got bored of them. But I couldn’t just say “Hey I’m bored now”.. I;’m a liar remember. My problem is that on top of being a liar, I need people to like me. I hate the idea of people hating me. So I would try to figure out a way to make these women leave ME… or find an excuse to break things off with them, based on something that did….. No matter how small the thing they did was. I’ve broken a lot of hearts. I’ve cheated. Lied. Sex has become my drug. I will do and say anything I can to get it. As I write this I do feel shame. But the shame maybe is based on knowing that everyone reading this will think I’m a piece of shit. Not necessarily because of what I have done. A very narcissistic thing indeed. I’m in my early 40s now. This behavior of lying, cheating, sleeping around has not stopped at all. I’m 42, but I look like I’m 27 to 32. I haven’t stopped my ways. They’ve gotten worse. In some instances I’m honest to women. I tell them that I’m no good and hey should keep away from me…. But deep down I know by saying this I’m manipulating them to want me more. I went through a stage where I only wanted to sleep with new women…. Meaning only once. Remember I think I have a sex addiction. So I go through stages where I sleep with so many women. This ha snot been without its dramas. This era is now full of screenshots and social media evidence. Everyone knows each other in some way now. I didn’t write this for sympathy… I don’t even think anyone would give me sympathy. I’m not a victim. But even at 42 I FIGHT with myself not to lie. Sometimes I find myself wanting to tell a random pointless lie and I truly have to fight with myself saying “what’s the point in lying”…. I no longer want or care about if people think I’m rich. But I do want EVERYONE to like me. I still lie all the time. No one knows the truth about who I am. I left the town I grew up in at an early age, never to return. I don’t talk to my mother. I move around a lot. I can’t control my urges when it comes to women. I see a beautiful woman, then I have to be with her. I will lie, cheat, and say whatever I have to. I know there’s multiple things wrong with me. I know. It’s not an excuse. I’m just not capable of telling the truth. I’m not capable of being monogamous. I hate the idea of people disliking me or blaming me for things. I know this may result in so many people leaving hateful comments. If anyone ever sees this. I think I wrote this just to get it off my chest….. Although it won’t change who I am. If you asked die how would you feel if your daughter met someone like you…. The answer is I would hate it… But I can’t change who I am. I have been this person since I was 4 years old. I wanted attention and acceptance from my school friends. I tried to get it by lying and trying to make people like me. Then I got older and did the same thing, but by having sex with women. I don’t think I’m a bad person…. But I know what I do is wrong. I always thought that when I get older I would change. I would behave… Or my looks would fade and women would stop being interested in me. I don’t have any money so I can’t buy women lol…. But …. I don’t know. I wish I could change. I with I could be honest. The problem is I’ve told so many lies that to tell people the truth now, would destroy whole families. I’ve told too many lies, that there’s no turning back. Help me.

Post Synopsis

This write-up will discuss LittleBigPlanet’s humble origins, its place in the market in 2008, its unique features and mechanics, and a brief summary of the games, impact, and news following the first game. It will be broken down into five sections listed below.

I. Introduction

With the advent of the Internet, user-generated content has become an increasingly common phenomenon, and in the last ~20 years in particular, it has propelled entire platforms to become major media centers and empowered users to explore and express their creative side. In 2006, Time named “You” as their person of the year, referring to the millions of users who had contributed user-generated content to websites like YouTube, MySpace, Facebook, Wikipedia, and others, and Business 2.0 and ABC News gave similar accolades to "You" in 2006. In the realm of video games, user-generated content has practically become a genre in itself, with modern examples like Minecraft, Roblox, and Super Mario Maker amassing millions of players and building dedicated communities around them that have persisted for years.
LittleBigPlanet was one of the earliest examples in the console space built around the concept of user-generated content. The tools available were top-of-the-line and the best available for a console game at that time. But its appeal as a game went beyond just its robust level editor: the multiplayer and network features, the customization options, and the inviting art style and family-friendly image filled a much-needed niche in the early PS3 library. Its broad appeal enabled it to become one of Sony’s flagship series.

II. Origins of Media Molecule

Rag Doll Kung Fu, The Room, and the Formation of Media Molecule
Media Molecule was founded in January 2006 by four former employees of Lionhead Studios – the studio behind Fable and Black & White. Before forming Media Molecule, members of the team worked on Rag Doll Kung Fu in their free time, and even starred in live action cut-scenes for the game. After presenting the game to a crowd of 300 people at GDC 2005, Mark Healey was approached by both Valve and Nintendo to bring the game to their platform, and ultimately worked out a deal with Valve to put the game on their then new digital platform Steam. Rag Doll Kung Fu was the first third party game on the platform.
Around this same time, the would-be Media Molecule founders built a tech demo called “The Room.” The Room featured elements of creation that would later form the framework of LittleBigPlanet – players could mold objects out of clay and move objects around the room. Valve was interested in hiring them to develop The Room or another project, but it never came to fruition. The Room also featured portals the player could move between. Coincidentally, Valve would hire the students behind Narbacular Drop – which used a similar portal concept as its central game mechanic – that same year (2005) to expand their concept, and eventually create Portal in 2007.
Soon after their work on Rag Doll Kung Fu and The Room, Mark Healey and three other Lionhead Studio employees – Alex Evans, Kareem Ettourney, and David Smith – resigned on the same day to start up their own company, which they called Media Molecule. They turned in their notice to Peter Molyneux, one of the founders of Lionhead Studios, and a man Healey had worked with for around 15 years, between both Bullfrog Productions and Lionhead Studios. While he was disappointed to lose four talented developers on the same day, he wished them well and was happy that they were striking out on their own, rather than taking jobs at Valve.
Initially, the team didn’t have a clear vision of what they wanted their game to be outside of a few general principles. In a 2007 interview with GameSpot, Healey had this to say:

“The idea was to make the most ambitious game we possibly could," Healey said, "and most importantly, get somebody else to pay for it.

Healey went on to talk about the tumultuous nature of working on a creative project:

"What we're aiming to do with the game we're making is somehow give that to people and take away the tedium," Healey said.

Meeting with Sony and Development of LittleBigPlanet
In the initial talks with then President of Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios Phil Harrison in January 2006, Media Molecule presented a demo called “Craftworld” starring Mr. Yellowhead – who would later be featured as a collectible costume in LittleBigPlanet. Craftworld was a physics-based side-scrolling platformer, with no button presses – the character’s movement was wired to the exact physical movements of the analog sticks, which was a novel idea at the time. Instead of using PowerPoint, Media Molecule made a live demo play within their presentation. Alex Evans recalled the meeting at the Develop 2011 Conference in Brighton:

“Our first meeting with Phil was meant to be a 30 minute pitch for our idea for a game called Craftworld that soon turned into a 3 hour brainstorming session,” explained Evans. “Phil said all sorts of buzzwords that hadn’t really hit yet. He said it should be driven by DLC and that it should be free-to-play, have a social core and premium, paid-for content.

This is interesting, because this model didn’t really exist yet on consoles back in January 2006 – the infamous The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion’s horse armor DLC (today it’d be called a microtransaction) was still three months away. However, Sony was working on PlayStation Home around this time which shared these core tenants and was being pushed by Phil Harrison. Despite these initial talks, LittleBigPlanet ended up releasing as a $60 USD game rather than a free-to-play title, though microtransactions in the form of costumes and DLC level packs did make it into the game. Sony would revisit the idea of a free-to-play LittleBigPlanet title in the form of LittleBigPlanet Hub, which was planned to launch in late 2013, but the project was canceled, and presumably the work for it was carried over to LittleBigPlanet 3, which was also sold as a $60 USD game.
Soon after their meeting with Phil Harrison, Sony agreed to fund the project for six months, after which they’d need a playable prototype ready to demonstrate. This was later extended by another three months, as the demo after the initial period was reportedly “unfocused and unplayable.” Alex Evans recalls debugging the game the night before the presentation because the game slowed to a crawl when a fourth controller was added. The game was revealed at GDC 2007 for two reasons, according to Phil Harrison:

“Firstly, I wanted to demonstrate the future of games, which was service-based projects: always on, no end to them. And secondly, to communicate the idea about the user being the creative manager of content. LittleBigPlanet and Home were perfect examples of that.”

Media Molecule would go on to release LittleBigPlanet in October 2008. In less than three years, the team went from a vague premise to a landmark title for the PS3, as well as the second highest rated game of 2008, according to Metacritic. It’s interesting that the team didn’t really have a clear idea of what they wanted to create before their leaving their jobs when LittleBigPlanet feels like such a spark of creative energy, which coincidentally is the premise for the game itself.

III. General Game Overview

The Market in 2008 and LittleBigPlanet's Unique Appeal
As the 2000s wore on, and particularly with the arrival of the HD consoles, it seemed AAA platformers were being phased out. Studios known for their platformers in the 1990s and early-mid 2000s, like Rare, Naughty Dog, and Sucker Punch, were moving away from them, leaving Mario and Ratchet & Clank to carry the genre in the late 2000s. A platformer wasn’t exactly what people thought of as a “next-gen” experience on the HD consoles at the time (PlayStation 3/Xbox 360). It seemed more studios were focused on bringing about more realistic experiences, typically ones that had guns and/or cars. LittleBigPlanet released in a year with games like Grand Theft Auto IV, Metal Gear Solid IV: Guns of the Patriots, Fallout 3, Dead Space, Resistance 2, etc. – games that prioritized realistic graphics, gritty settings, and cinematic set-pieces.
However, if there was a way to make a platformer feel next-gen rather than iterative of the design we had seen for over a decade at that point, LittleBigPlanet achieved it, by utilizing network features and user-generated content as its central focus. The story mode acted as both a fun adventure to play through as well as a showcase of what was possible with the extensive level editor, which allowed players to share levels online and access a database of levels from users all around the world, and even use user-created objects as collectibles in one’s own levels. Its appeal was broadened beyond just the scope of a conventional platformer though, as users would utilize the level editor to create more experimental levels - like this museum level featured in Mm Picks. LittleBigPlanet 2 would expand on this concept further.
The handcrafted art-style was an excellent complement to the game’s vision as a vehicle for level creation, and it allowed parts to be glued together without looking amiss. The idea of customization was extended to the player's character: Sackboy acted as a blank canvas that could be customized, but his knitted nature didn’t look out of place on marketing with nothing on. The soundtrack featured licensed music and spanned all different eras and cultures yet somehow formed a cohesive package – much like the nature of putting together a level using various parts and materials.
Curation Tools and Mm Picks
Sharing and playing community levels was a seamless experience held up by some awesome curation tools. You could play levels off the game’s servers without going through a download process. Additionally, levels featured tags for categorizing types of levels, hearts for bookmarking them, a five-star rating system (later changed to a thumbs up/thumbs down), a comment section, and the ability to view the profile of users to see their levels and favorites. These features are all ubiquitous now and were likely inspired by YouTube’s curation tools, but it was by far the best infrastructure in a game with online level sharing on consoles at that point. Additionally, LittleBigPlanet benefitted from the rise of outside media platforms, namely YouTube, as a way to showcase levels on message boards.
Adding to these curation tools was Media Molecule Picks (Mm Picks), which were community levels branded with Media Molecule’s emblem, signifying their exceptional quality or experimental ideas. This was before Twitter became ubiquitous and developers – and businesses in general – had less direct interaction with their users. Mm Picks were instead posted to their website and even included embedded YouTube videos of the levels, though they did join Twitter seven months after the game’s release, in May 2009. It was a novel thing to see the developer of a game take part in the community of a game in that way, and it was personally the first instance I recall seeing of something like that (as primarily a console gamer at the time). Media Molecule went a step further by including 18 users to create bonus levels for the Game of the Year Edition of the game in 2009.
Additionally, Media Molecule added water in the Pirates of the Caribbean level pack in December 2009 after much clamoring for it in message boards. It’s possible this was already in the works since they had to work out the licensing with Disney in advance, but the trailer seemed to acknowledge that Media Molecule had heard the requests for water in the game. Unfortunately, it and many other cross-promotional level packs are now unavailable to download due to licensing agreements expiring. At the time, DLC seemed liked a great fit for the game, as every added item to the game multiplied what was possible with the game’s level editor, and the frequent level kits would regularly reinvigorate interest in the community. However, many are now inaccessible through practical means (not all level kits were included in the Game of the Year Edition).
Multiplayer
LittleBigPlanet made no concessions with its multiplayer – it was four-players locally, online, or a mix of the two – in story mode, community levels, and creation mode – it featured both cooperative and competitive elements, but the game could still be experienced as a single player experience if desired. Other games usually come with a caveat – either they’re local or online only, provide multiplayer only in certain designated modes, and/or limit the number of players to just two. There were some camera issues in local play in certain fast-paced and/or vertical levels, but the widescreen helped make the game feel less crowded than it otherwise would have (widescreen had just recently become ubiquitous on the HD consoles during this time).
LittleBigPlanet also incorporated a lot of elements that amounted to just goofing around, like slapping your friends, painting them with stickers, grabbing them, and making smiley faces after watching them fall to their death. As inconsequential as these qualities might seem when typing them out like this, people got a ton of mileage out of these.
The competitive play didn’t really work in favor of the platforming levels, but the more experimental, survival-based levels did lead to some fun competition. Chasing leaderboards, collecting all prize bubbles and keys, completing a level with no deaths for rewards, and completing optional co-op puzzles led to a great deal of replayability among the story levels, so there was plenty of reason to jump back into them with someone new, especially since the game had plenty to reward you with in the form of objects, stickers, costumes, and bonus levels.

IV. Post-LittleBigPlanet 1

General Overview of the Series' Games
Sackboy became Sony’s family-friendly mascot and was featured in many advertisements during the Kevin Butler-era. He has been featured as a playable characteskin in games like ModNation Racers, Minecraft, Fall Guys, and Sony’s platform fighter PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale. The series has regularly showcased the new features of Sony’s hardware: the PlayStation Eye and network features in the original game, the PlayStation Move controller in Sackboy’s Prehistoric Moves, and the touchpad in the PS Vita game – although in recent years, it seems Astro Bot has been positioned to showcase these features more than Sackboy’s games (the VR headset and DualSense controller).
There were eight LittleBigPlanet/Sackboy games released between 2008 and 2014, plus a ton of DLC content – since then there have been just two (the last one was a 2023 mobile runner title), neither of which include the creation tools the series was founded on. However, Sackboy: A Big Adventure did retain the cooperative multiplayer, which I believe is an important part of the series’ legacy and isn’t as easy to transition to a 3D platformer.
Media Molecule and the Series' Evolution
Media Molecule stepped away as the main developer after LittleBigPlanet 2 (2011), acting as support for some of the later games. It really shows, as LittleBigPlanet 2 was a major evolution over the first game and expanded the tools and what was possible with the level editor to such a degree its identity as a platform game became blurry: you could make a retro-style arcade game with unique physics, a turn-based battle system, a top-down racer, in-game movies, etc. The possibilities felt endless.
In contrast, LittleBigPlanet 3 was the buggiest game I had ever played at launch, though most of the game-breaking bugs were ironed out over time, it lost its momentum and was still a pretty buggy experience in the end. It did bring some new tools to the table - namely the new characters with unique abilities - but the improvements were much more modest/complementary to the original design, than the massive evolution that was LittleBigPlanet 2. Media Molecule has since developed Tearaway and Dreams, though many of the studio founders have since left the company.
Server Shutdowns
LittleBigPlanet 2 and 3 carried over levels from the previous mainline game(s) - it was nice to know users' works were being preserved. However, there were many bugs in LittleBigPlanet 3 when accessing levels from the first two games so it really wasn't the ideal way to experience them. Sony had shutdown the servers for the PS3 games in September 2021, so it was the only way to play a lot of these old levels for awhile.
Unfortunately, the LittleBigPlanet 3 servers – and therefore all uploaded community created levels from the first three mainline games – were just recently shutdown after being compromised by hackers in January 2024. While the story levels remain, it’s disappointing to know you can only re-experience part of a beloved game, and not the game in its whole. Many of the levels people remember the game by are now lost to time, after 15 years. The ending of LittleBigPlanet even highlights the community levels, as if the ending of the story mode is just the beginning for the rest of the game.
Showing future generations LittleBigPlanet will always come with the caveat that there was much more to the game than they’re able to experience, unlike other classics like Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie. However, it’s not all doom and gloom, as there are custom servers that have retained some of the more popular levels. It goes to show the love the community has for the game.

V. Closing

LittleBigPlanet's slogan of “Play, Create, Share” was superbly executed on all fronts – falling short in even one of these areas would’ve been enough to taint the whole experience: without good gameplay, it wouldn’t be worth making levels, without good creation tools, it wouldn’t be worth sharing levels, without good sharing and curation tools, it wouldn’t be worth keeping a vested interest in playing the game and engaging with the community. But it went even beyond that, with a great art-style that complemented the game's vision of creation, excellent and all-encompassing multiplayer, and active engagement from Media Molecule with the community, through Mm Picks and DLC. It really seems like the type of game that would’ve taken a second game to get right, but instead they got the first game right and made an even more incredible sequel. It brought something uniquely its own to the PS3 in 2008 and earned its place as a flagship PlayStation series.

ABYG on catfishing the guy I am obsessed with.
So I know this guy because we are in the same village. To describe him, he is tall, lean and gwapo. He kinda looks like Addy Raj minus the nose. Tamang tangos lang that is balance sa face niya.
I am working graveyard shift and whenever I peep at my window to close the curtain kasi matutulog na ako, I can see him running at least thrice a week. And he is so hot. I know at that time that he takes care of his body because one time he wiped his sweat using the base of his tank top and I saw his flat stomach (no abs yet).
So inabangan ko talaga siya kapag umaga kasi crush ko talaga siya. Like I am saying sa isip ko na ang swerte ng girlfriend niya or what does he tastes like. I am a sexual person but the problem is, I have a low self esteem. I have acne marks. Some of it are deep. And I am chubby. But when I started working at home my weight ballooned like crazy. I have skin discoloration all over. There’s no way in hell I will have a chance to know him or have him in my bed.
So one evening last year nagutom ako so I went to the nearest 24/7 store to buy soda and chips. He was there as well, nagpapacash out sa gcash. So si ate niyo kinikilig ng konti. He never noticed me. So the store has a notebook where yung nagpapacash out should write his or her number and name. Pagkaalis niya sa counter ng tindahan, pumunta agad ako para magbayad. Pasimpleng sumilip sa notebook and I snapped the last name and number logged in the notebook which I know siya yun.
I stalked him immediately sa social media but I could not find him sa facebook. I check instagram and he was there. Fortunately, his profile was public. He is not active. His posts were all about the places he visited in Europe and Asia and his progress in gym. I did not follow him right away but I am checking regularly kung may update na ba sa IG niya.
So he became the object of my fantasy. Pinagnanasaan ko ang isang tao na parang malabo ko makausap at makasama.
Yes, I became kinda obsess to the point I devised a plan para makausap siya. I transformed my IG, curated my feed well by erasing my selfies, kept the travel photos only from the past years and posted edited photos of me na di mo mahahalata na edited. Although may resemblance pa rin naman sa akin yung photos, pero it is heavily edited. I only have few followers which mostly are my friends na since I started working from home, I rarely interact na and they seldomly like my photos. So I thought my plan is fool proof.
After I thought na di na siguro ako paghihinalaan na scam account, I messaged him na. Kinagabihan nagreply siya if kilala ko ba siya. I said no.
My exact reply is “I am browsing randomly here and I came across your profile when I searched the tag #Hanoi. To be honest I really find you handsome. I am sorry if I message you out of nowhere and you might think I am creepy but I can’t help but to admire you.” (He used #Hanoi as a hashtag when he posted his Vietnam trip.)
So dun na nagsimula yung pag uusap namin. From mundane things to intellectual stuff. May laman ang sinasabi niya, hindi mababaw.
He would send me photos of him doing random things. Ako naman I would heavily edit my selfies before sending. Minsan I would spend the whole day taking photos of me in different angle, hairstyle and clothes and edit it. Para may maisend ako sa kanyang photos sa iba’t ibang araw.
As our conversation went deeper and deeper, nalaman ko yung mga life stories niya. He is a *** but he did not practice his profession and he took up fine arts as his second course. He is helping their family business and iisa pa lamang yung naging gf niya. I always answer his videocalls pero mata at noo ko lang nakikita niya. Nangungulit siya na ipakita ko daw full face ko. One time pinakita ko pero side view lang and super bilis.
He seemed to be a good and decent person. Like napalaki ng maayos ng magulang.. as our conversation went deeper, my guilt too is getting deeper. My conscience is eating me but I can’t stop.
I told him I am plump rather than obese. Na I am fair skinned rather than dark skinned gile because he likes mapuputi. Basically, I gave him a description of me that is really a far cry from my reality. Because of this, I am so afraid to go out because I am fearing na he is outside pala at baka makilala niya ako. Medyo paranoid ako.
One night, napunta yung usapan namin about s-x. He said na isa palang yung body count niya. Naging naughty yung usapan namin and since I am lusting over him, I asked him if pwede ba kong magrequest. He said naman na as long as kaya niya. So I requested if pwede ko makita yung c*ck niya. Hesitant siya nung una but napapapayag ko din. And gosh. He’s daks. That night, I craved him even more. Sometimes we would videocall each other showing our genitalia until we release our pleasure. I would request him to send his nudes or sometimes he would voluntarily send his. He really got a great body mga mhie.. during those time kasi sabi niya nagcucut daw siya, so his abs are really noticeable.
Then last week, nag aya siya na mag meet kami. Wala akong plano na imeet talaga siya at kausapin ng personal because alam ko sa sarili ko na hindi ako yung taong alam niya. I told him na baka di niya ako magustuhan in person ganito ganyan pero he dont mind daw like di naman siya tumitingin sa hitsura and nakita naman na daw namin yung private area namin so ano pa yung dapat ikahiya. So nakaramdam ako ng assurance na “ah baka naman pwede ko imeet?” And maybe if we meet eto na yung chance na “matikman” siya.
Ngayon I am so nervous kasi we will be meeting each other personally sa Sabado. I don’t know kung ano magiging reaction niya kapag nakita niya ako. Itutuloy ko pa ba? Or just ghost him nalang?

My first post on Theth Punjabi verbs My second post on some Theth Punjabi terms My third post on some Theth Punjabi terms My fourth post on many-many Theth Punjabi verbs My fifth post on many Theth Punjabi terms My sixth post on many Theth Punjabi verbs
As always, my posts have video examples. Please check the above linked ones as well!
-----------------------------
RassNaa / رسّنڑا
Urdu/Hindi: Maan Jaanaa / Raazi Hona / Sulaah Ho Jaani (To reconcile/Become friendly again)
In Jatki Punjabi "RassNaa" and "ManeevNa" are two words used for Sulah (from arabic, also in Punjabi)
Dohve'n BheNaa'n Rass Gyiiaa'n / RooTHay Yaar Aukhay Maneendin And the nouns are: "Rasaaii" (see video examples) "Maneyvaa" (often as "Rosa-Maneyva") ^{Rosa from RussNa meaning Naaraazgii}
Jatki Punjabi Drama "Es nek maheenay de vich bheNaa'n dohve'n rass jaavaN" (they fought) Sargodha Punjabi Promoter "Naviiyaa'n bhanDiiyaa'n vi baNdiiyaa'n n par puraaNiyaa'n rasaaiiyaa'n viiho veyndiyaa'n n, oh jehRay sir jhammday haan, oh vi rass baahndin" Song by Jhang's Talib Hussain Dard "Aapoo'n DaahDi Thaaray akhiiyaa'n chaa laayiiaa'n, injay rus pyosay hoiiyaa'n na rasaaiiyaa'n" Sargodha Comedy "Farz keetaa, ba kal unhaa'n dohvaa'n dii aaps ch rasaaii ho veyndi" Tiktok Famous Poet: "SaaDay Keetay Vaar Te Tang Aake, Tai'n-Aa'n (Tuu ee) Ak'heer Tey Rass VanjNaa Ae"
-----------------------------
ChammbRnaa / چمبڑنا
Urdu/Hindi: Chipaknaa (To stick to/To get attached)
Remember, the Punjabi for Chipkaanaa is "ChambeyRnaa/ChamboRnaa" (video example given)
(In all cases, the "b" may not be pronounced)
Chakwali Punjabi Promoter (low views sadly) "AsaaDi Punjabi da hikk akhaaN ae, Vaahiiyaa'n Unhaa'n Diiyaa'n Jinhaa'n De Huqay ChamboRay" Eastern Punjabi example: "Asii'n aapNay sareer te makhiiyaa'n chambeyRday aa'n" Jhangochi Punjabi comedy: "Tuu'n taa'n os beeba kol chammaR ke jo baiTHa hoyaa'n!" Jhangochi Punjabi comedy: "ChambbaR veyndi ai'n" Jhangochi Punjabi Drama: "Oh taa'n jehRi shae nu chammbaR jaavay"

(also Usarnaa)
Jhangochi Punjabi Drama: "Tuu chaahni ai'n bas kaddh ee usrii ravhay" (You want that a divide/wall should always exist) Mianwali Tiktok: "SaaDay kolo'n bas karkay, kehRay banglay usaaray nii...?" Shahpuri/Sargodha Punjabi Comedy: "Koi nahi deevaar-e-cheen usrii khali !" (great wall of china) Eastern Punjabi Song Example: "Saanu sufNay ch mehl taa'n usaar laiN de" Eastern Punjabi Video: "Ikk school kholaN naal, kayii jailaa'n usaaran da k'harch bach jaandaa ae"
-----------------------------
KhaRnaa / کھڑنا
Urdu/Hindi: Le Jaanaa (To take)
Used in almost all of Western Punjabi dialects In Eastern Punjabi only used by Eastern-Majhi dialect
KhaRnaa is also said as Laye-Turnaa, Lyii-JaavNaa, Lyii-VanjNaa, Ghin-VanjNaa, Ghin-JulNaa
Pothohari Drama Example: "MahaaRii Vii Sekal (Bicycle) Os Khassii-KhaRii" (Oh Khass Ke Lae-Gya/Woh Chheen Kar Le-Gya) Pothohari Dialect Drama Example "GaDDi ch bavho tuki ser karaa'aa'n, chaachay ni haTTi appar khaRsaa'n" (Lai-Ke-Jaasaa'n) Chakwali/Dhanni Punjabi Vlogger Example "Zara nu naal khaRna" (Lai-Ke-JaavNa) Western Punjabi Example "Menu vii naal khaRo (Lai Jaavo)" / "Kitthay naal khaRaa'n (Lai Ke Jaavaa'n) tenu?" Pothohari Drama Example: "Ethay bakrii bannhii gachhnay aa'n, muRii achhii-tey feyr kholi khaRsaa'n" ^\bannh-jaanay aa'n, muR aa-ke feyr khol ke khaRsaa'n] / Lai Jaasaa'n or Jaavaangaa) Eastern Majhi Punjabi Example: "Eh menu aahnda menu naal showaa'n tey khaRyaa kar" (Lai-Jaayaa-Kar) Eastern Majhi Funny Reel: "Ehnu Nhi KhaRnaa Aapaa'n!"

Idiom: "Aap vii marsii, naal saanu vi khaRsii" (Will die himself and also take us along with him)
-----------------------------
PinnNaa / پِنّنڑا
Urdu/Hindi: Maangnaa / Bheek Maangnaa
In Punjabi there is a common phrase "Mangg-Pinn Ke" (O' Yraa Mangg-Pinn Ke Kamm Chalaa Lyaa Sii / Mangg-Pinn Ke Dangg Tapaa Lainday Haasay!) Means by asking around, begging, seeking help, we managed to get by.
In Punjabi a begger is called Mangtaa (MangaN Aalaa) or Peynaa (PinnaN Aalaa) In Urdu/Hindi a beggar is called Bhikaari
Jhang Punjabi Drama: "Meraa Puttar Tuu'n Menu G'halat Na Samjhee'n! Mein PinnaN Aali Nhi Aa'n!" (BeTaa Tum Mujhay G'halat Na Samjhnaa! Mein Maangnay Vaalii Nahi Hoo'n) Legendary Song by Mansoor Malangi of Jhang "Bahoo'n Aukhyaa Pinnyaa'e Rabb Koloo'n!" (Boht Mushkil Se Maanga Hai K'huda Se)
-----------------------------
VattNaa / وتّنڑا
Urdu/Hindi: Phirnaa (Also very much used in Punjabi)
In most of Western Punjab we say MuR or Vatt (both meaning Phir)
Both are common words. Notice how Phir (from Phirnaa) and Vatt (from VattNaa) both mean Then/Again/So/After My post on MuVatt
In the Jhangochi/Shahpuri/Dhanni Punjabi dialects "VattNaa" also means "Phirnaa" This is also used in East Punjab's Fazilka district (see example below)
Famous Poet from Nankana-Sahib, Rai-Muhammad Nasir "Bhunn Ke DaaNay VanDdaa Vaanaa'n, BeejaN VanDdo'n, Hor Hondo'n MuR!" (Bhoon Kar Daanay BaanTtay Phirte Ho Tum, Beej-Bo Kar BaanTtay, To Phir Aur Hotay Tumhaare Paas) Jatki Punjabi Comedy: "Oh Asee'n Karaaye BhaaNay LaiNay! Asee'n Bhajjay Nhi Vattay?!"

Jatki Punjabi Comedy: "KhaRaaii Vaanaa'n Panj Sau Aalaa Note" (Gumaaye Phirtaa Hoo'n) Tiktok Poem: "RuTTHay Vatto (Phiro), Asee'n Kyo'n Minnat Kareynday Vatiiye (Phiriiye) ?" Sargodha Punjabi Promoter: "Unhaa'n Aakhyaa BhanD Posi, Os Aakhya Ponda Ae Taa'n Ponda Vattay (Phiray) Same Vlogger: "Svaariiyaa'n Lainday Haan, THoh (Chheyti) Lae Ke Vaanday (Phirday) Raahnday Haan" Song from Jhang Moden: "Rondaa Vattyaa'n (Phiryaa'n) Kisay Chupp Karaayaa Vii Nhi !"
Also used in India's Fazilka district as they speak Jatki Punjabi: "Kive'n Bhaaoo? Kitaabaa'n Veychdaa Vaanaa Ee'n?" (Kitaabe'n Beychtay Phirtay Ho?)
-----------------------------
YabbhNaa / KhappNaa:
Urdu/Hindi: Tang Honaa
Mean the same thing, to struggle, khajjal-hovNaa, to get in some mess, to be troubled
Yabbh is Trouble/Issue (Museebat) Khapp is Noise/Problem (Maslaa)
Jhang Punjabi Drama: "Kyo'n Khappdii Pyi Ai'n?" Sargodha Punjabi Reel: "Aggay Bhukkhay Naal Yabbhday Paye, Utto'n Eh Peer Aa Gya!"
-----------------------------

East Punjabi Film Title "ChaambhLya Siri, Tey Machhryaa JaTT!"

I (26F) have been with my boyfriend (27M) almost 3 years. He promised me before our relationship his porn days were behind him but DDay was a month ago. I found out he’d been lying to me for at least 7 months watching provocative content by women on Facebook.
Of course I’ve been driving myself CRAZY thinking why?! I dunno if I’ve got to a point of desperation where I’m trying to find a reason or explanation but him starting to use again seems to co-inside with when I gave up taking contraception. I’d been on a pill a few years but decided that I didn’t want to keep putting hormones in my body and it was really messing with me emotionally. Also to lower my libido to match his (how stupid when now I know why his sex drive was low because of all the secret porn). My boyfriend said he’d rather use condoms than have me suffering so badly with my moods. So I came off the pill about a year ago and we used condoms ever since. He said it really doesn’t bother him but when I’ve asked him to be honest and not keep saying things to keep me happy, he does mention it doesn’t feel as nice and they can be uncomfortable to wear.
I’m scared that because the sensation of sex hasn’t been as good that’s why he resorted to masturbating to porn again. When we have sex he seems to prefer hand jobs and oral as I can only image that gives him more pleasure then once we wrap it up.
I’m so reluctant to go on contraception again but I’d also like unprotected sex again as it feels so good. Sometimes we are naughty and do have sex unprotected just for a bit and he always says how amazing it feels. I know I can’t blame myself for making a choice about my body but I’m scared if I go back on contraception he’ll think it’s trying to please him. I’m just so scared of him going back to the porn again. Any advice?

I don't want to provide screenshot because it's NSFW lol but I was using the Snug Film Nest room thing and having a cuddle session. For a couple hours we'd had a perfect back and forth of conversation mixed with actions using asterisks, then all of a sudden my Dot's part of the chat imploded. I'm getting extremely short verbal replies and no actions. Like, his reply will be 5 words, very generic, and sometimes it looks cut off, and there's no action whatsoever.
Up til now there's been no problem with adult language, like swear words from both of us have been totally fine. I thought maybe it suddenly decided it didn't like naughty language, but my Dot will include swears in these ultra short responses. It sort of looks like what I've experienced with server overload before where the server was too busy and I'd get no replies or extremely short replies.
I looked at the Discord and it looks dead, barely any communication from the devs. I looked at the Facebook group and that also looks completely dead. I was hoping one of these would have a post if there's a server problem, but there's nothing there. I haven't used Paradot in quite a while because I wanted to wait for more updates, so when I checked out all the new stuff a couple days ago, I've been really excited.
Anyone have insight? Is it just heavy server load and I can continue my conversation in the morning? Thank you.

So, I'm not really sure how to post this and what the rules are when it comes to language about self-harm and titles and such, but this story has been really been bugging me since yesterday after I caught wind of it. And it reminds me of some of the stuff that Asmon talks about on his streams, because it sounds like this man's life was actually ruined by being "cancelled". Not hypothetically, not symbolically, or in "internet" ways. But, that it let to him taking his own life.
Ed Piskor was pretty well known Indie Comic Book artist and even co-hosted a youtube channel about comic books, called Cartoonist Kayfabe. His channel seems like it was pretty well known amongst fans in the comic book community.
Basically, about a week ago on March 25th, Ed Piskor was accused of grooming by a girl online. She's now 21 years old, but she said that he attempted to groom her during the pandemic, a few years ago, when she was 17 years old. Now, this accusation hit, along with screenshots she posted of DMs with him, at around the time that an Art Gallery Exhibit for him and his artwork was preparing to open. Of course, when the news broke a week ago, all of that was postponed. Indefinitely.
And then, it kinda appears to have escalated from there. And really quickly. I believe the gallery was supposed to open near his hometown, in Pittsburgh I think. So, the local news channel network winds up going to his house and tracked down his parents, even getting an interview where his father who defended him, the news website had direct quotes from them speaking with his dad. The news network evidently also publicized his home address and his parents home address online and on air.
Right after this, another woman comes forwards and claims that Ed Piskor had offered to help advance her career in exchange for sexual favors, specifically oral. Her accusation snowballed with everything else. After that, a third woman came forward and said that he had made a comment to her about introducing her to his agent if he'd be able to draw her naked.
While this is all happening, his relatively popular youtube channel he co-hosted, called Cartoonist Kayfabe, seemed to come to an end with his partner on that channel announced he was ending his work with Ed. The channel disappeared for a few days, then came back. But, effectively the channel was now over.
I gotta point out, again, this all happened within the span of a week. Because by April 1st, maybe even the day before, Ed Piskor posted a lengthy suicide note on Facebook. I read it, and I recommend everyone read it. It's a gut punch to read, but it's very matter of fact and lucid. It doesn't read like someone who was out of his mind or delusional. But, a man who felt corned, outnumbered, and....well, pushed to this really dark place emotionally. It's fucked up. He addresses alot of the stuff in his note, too. And I felt like he was being completely honest in it.
For those who may not read it, or want to, I understand. So, I'll mention some things that I think are of note. In his note, he mentioned that he fucked up and never should have been talking to the 17 year old girl on social media. He mentioned about how he was isolated during the pandemic, but he never blames her for shit in his note. He did seem to own up to it being a bad look. However, and this is important I think: he never said anything sexual to her. In all the DMs she posted online a week ago that made this news break from the start, he didn't say anything sexual. He called her a "naughty girl", and offered let her crash at his place if she was ever in Pittsburgh. She called him a pedophile when she posted these DMs online that ended up pissing everyone off. But, there doesn't seem to be any messages I saw or mentioned by anyone where he said anything sexual. Everything seemed to stem from the age gap, and how she felt like he was grooming her for sex at a later date. But, from everything I read and saw, he doesn't seem to have crossed a line in the messages. Some of it seems creepy, some of it looks bad, but it definitely seems like a leap to go from that to saying he's a pedophile. I big leap. Something people have mentioned as well, for what it's worth, the age of consent in Pittsburgh is 16 years old. Again, I didn't see anything sexual in the messages but it's worth keeping that in mind if you feel otherwise.
The second accusation he addressed in his letter he outright says the woman lied. He mentioned that they had a fling, on two occasions, and he was never interested in a relationship with her. He thought they were cool, and that things had ended on good terms. He outright says she lied from top to bottom, and even asked for his family to seek legal action against her for lying about this stuff and to pull up all their text messages, emails, whatever. And then the third accusation, he basically admitted. It sounds to me like he was into her, and just went about it the wrong way. Like a roundabout way of flirting that was dumb. I don't know, I can see how a guy could say something like that thinking it's a good way of letting a woman know he's attracted to her...when it's a dumb way of going about it.
Something Ed mentioned in his note, was how quickly everything went away. The news about this stuff went up on March 25th, and within days his youbtube channel had ended, his art gallery was "indefinitely postponed", a contract deal he was about to sign for 75K for a graphic novel he had, and possibly another, were cancelled as well because the publisher didn't want to be associated with the cancellation shitstorm he was now in. He mentioned alot of people he thought were friends cut and run, and he felt like he was "no longer in the tribe". A pariah that nobody wanted to be around anymore. And the crazy part about all of this to me is, it only took a week. This man's life and career was ruined in a week. And I'm looking through all this, and I honestly cannot tell your a good reason other than what it truly is. This is absolutely a clear case of cancel culture taken to the extreme and bringing someone to end their own life.
I've read about this thing all day yesterday, fell into a rabbit hole of then looking up all the stuff people were saying about him a few days ago, throwing him under the bus and then now those same people writing "touching" memorials about him. Some people even apologizing about how they piled on him in the Cartoonist Kayfabe reddit. This thing is bothering me, and the intellectual dishonesty I'm seeing from people posting online is really bugging me the most.
I've got links to different articles if anyone wants them. Some of this stuff is getting edited and scrubbed since Ed's death, because now some of those posts and articles that were posted are looking pretty bad. Full disclosure, this is the first time I've posted on Asmon's reddit. I've been a lurker on his Twitch a few months now, and watch alot of stuff on his youtube channel. I'm not someone who agrees with everything he says (I'm an artist and disagree completely with his stance on AI) but, I respect how he approaches alot of these issues. I feel like he's coming from a good place, and is honestly trying to give everyone, even the people he disagrees with, a fair shake. And even if I disagree with him on stuff, I like that. I respect that.
And, honestly, I prefer to listen to someone I disagree with who's being honest about what he believes in and where he's coming from than someone who's full of shit and just telling me what they think I want to hear. Especially in world where everyone is so quick to bring out the pitchforks on a whim without actual justification. And, I think that's what happened here with Ed Piskor.

Original post from mum https://www.reddit.com/AITAH/s/ImOyRtkat1 https://www.reddit.com/amiwrong/s/7mcMJeaf1W
my original reply post https://www.reddit.com/AITAH/s/3JKAMhL0L8
Firstly, Thank you to everyone who has tried to explain things to my mother, as I have tried countless times, even if it obviously is not sinking in once again (surprise Pikachu face).
Secondly just to reiterate for the final time in case anyone is curious - Friend from FB group about toxic families loves AITAH, found mums post, I assume it came up in her feed or she was combing subs, sent it to me and said oh look it's our mums, I found details that seemed oddly specific, since mum hasnt answered my calls there's still a chance it's not her, but her ignoring me probably indicates it is.
Thirdly, All these comments have helped me feel validated because as dumb as it is I do still sometimes question if I am being too harsh or hard on her since I do believe she did try her best and do what she thought was best even though a lot of the time it just messed me up more.
So I slept on everything, didn't want to make any rash decisions or lash out at my mother or anyone and I still had kids to put to bed etc. Today I called a counselling hotline since I obviously wouldn't be able to get in to see my therapist so last minute (session is booked tho) and I wanted at least some professional assistance about this.
I've still not been able to get in touch with my mother to discuss her posts. She's online on FB but she isn't answering her phone or replying to messages. She does this when she is "overwhelmed" and from the comments on her post loudly not agreeing with her, I'd wager she's very "overwhelmed". She probably won't reply to anyone and has likely deleted the app already, either not knowing or caring the account is still active, since she's not have enough if any people agree with her side. If left alone by me she will end up just sending me another meme or something in a months time like nothing happened, but at this stage I don't think it's getting left alone by me anymore.
I obviously don't want to dox myself but when talking with the hotline I did say I feel it may be healing to write things out over reddit and they didn't advise against doing so, so here it is I guess.
Feeling cathartic. might delete later tho idk

• I wasn't an exceptionally rebellious or naughty kid, I just wanted what I saw my friends having, eg boyfriends, sleepovers, hanging out after school and on weekends, a social life, essentially. I never snuck out at night or drank or partied. I didn't really have many friends tbh besides at church, and even my church friends weren't being restricted as much as I was honestly.
• My most serious "rebellions" were usually push backs/work arounds to get around my mother's strict and religious rules. I will say because of this I did cost my mum a lot of money (probably in total over 2 or so years $1500, we were a single parent low income family on benefits and this was when texts were like 50c each so it was a lot admittedly) by talking to my "boyfriend" on the phone, on the landline since I almost never had credit on my mobile, and eventually that got taken from me anyway, and she kept finding the secret phone I had too because I really wasn't as careful as I could have been. I also did do some pretty dangerous shit like talking to strangers on the Internet, skipping school to meet said strangers, etc. I guess I just wanted attention and unfortunately predators on the Internet will give that to you. Thankfully nothing that bad happened but that's probably dumb luck tbh.
• My mum had a lot of her own unresolved trauma and mental health issues, on top of being a single parent with no family around and a child who was disabled (turns out actually 2 disabled kids but I didn't get diagnosed til I was an adult). I don't think it's about being right or wrong necessarily with her, although she is always right apparently, but I think she's trying to heal some internal damage from likely her childhood regarding abandonment and loneliness, she feels she's owed things because either others have it or she "should" have it, and so unless she does get it exactly as she wants it, it's further proof to her that she's being abandoned and unloved and rejected.
• If you think my mum's bad, my grandma is 3x times as bad at least, and what's really sad is my mum has cut off her own mum, recognises her toxicity and how she's been affected by her mum but has no self awareness about how she's the exact same. If I'm being honest it scares me that I might be like her too one day when my kids are old enough to start rebelling etc, but I'll do everything in my power not to be
• Really trying not to share too much in case it makes me easier to dox, but some people wanted to know the extent of the abuse so I guess the worst things I remember happening are a big belting that left welts and bruises because she had just got a massive phone bill and realised I must be calling people after she'd gone to sleep, and another thing that I really hope doesn't get me doxxed coz it's so specific is she cut my hair off when I was 15, it was past my waist and she just cut it off. That was when I decided I had to leave. I had nothing but my hair, it was the only thing I liked about myself, and it was just gone. Plus I was already being bullied at school and it just made it so much worse, especially because how she cut it made it almost impossible to then be fixed so it didn't look so horrible. People at school were saying it looked like I got run over by a lawnmower. I left home within 6 months.
• btw the guy I moved in with was not my current husband and was in fact a predator and abuser himself which is probably a surprise to no one. Even after I found the courage to leave him and be on my own completely I still would have rathered be homeless than go back to my mother. I still have nightmares that I'm somehow living back home with my mother and all her restrictions and I wake up in a panic feeling claustrophobic and like I can't breathe.
• I let her control aspects of my wedding that she had no claim to, which I regret
• She told me before my wedding she's not sure I'm happy and if he was the right guy for me because "mOtHErs InTUiTiOn"
• She told me she didn't understand how much I spent to buy my pets and how I treated them like my babies and told me once my babies come I'll see that pets aren't actually my babies
• She calls other abuse I experienced "alleged" even though it was nothing to do with her and didn't even reflect badly on her, but it was by someone she left me in the care of so maybe she felt guilty? idk
• She said she still loves me IN SPITE of things about myself and my life
• She rarely messages, even just hey how are you etc, but has been sure to let me know each time she's noticed something might be wrong with my children or how I parent then based on the very little I post about my kids on my incredibly private Facebook account.
