2024.05.03 03:57 Yes_Not_creative Cowardly Hero: A Story Most Ordinary (An intro to a side story away from the Chosen stuff)

October 14th, Post-Y2K Era.
Not too much happens in the suburbs of Lamblet Harbor. In an area that used to be a hotspot for seagowers had been transformed into a very small, niche community of only a few hundred people. One new neighbor could move in at anytime and be met with nearly the whole town recognizing your name in ~2 weeks if you stepped outside long enough.
Being the suburbs, it has nearly everything you need just a few blocks from your living quarters. A corner store, a recognized restort for those with enough cash in their wallets, an ice cream parlor, a gas station just 15 cents too much per gallon to be worth it, a library with some graffiti art on the wall that's just too timeless to get rid of, etc.
Whenever it gets to be this time of year the children and adults start to dress for chilly weather in jackets when they go outside, and in the house of the Makie family that's no different.
Mr. Makie: "See you later, love ya!"
Ms. Makie: "Be careful at the game honey! I know Serenity loves football too, but she better not grow up to be screaming at every game on the TV!"
Mr. Makie: "Bah, you worry too much! And is Ollie in the car already?"
Ms. Makie: "Yep, just scurried over with his granolah bars."
Mr. Makie: "Alright. Serenity! Let's get going to the game, don't wanna miss it!"
Serenity: "Lets go Rangers! And Cracker Jaaaaacks!!"
Down from the stairs appears Serenity Makie, a small 7 year old with a bit of dull blonde hair with a cap on holding the insignia of the "Cypress Rangers" on the top to show support for their team. Her father was also a fan that got his daughter involved in the hype of the game at an early age, so he's taking one of his paid vacation days to take her to a game nearby in his car.
Serenity and her father get in the car, the father taking the driver seat and Serenity sitting in the back, barely containing her excitment in that seat belt. In the front was "Ollie," the older brother to Serenity. The families magnet for teasing because it always seems like he's made of thin skin. Wanting no more than to get in and out of places as fast as possible, especially in school with how many people are there that he can barely remember anybodies name, much less good things to remember that doesn't cause anxiety.
Mr. Makie: "Alright, before we head to the game, let's quickly get Oliver dropped off at the school across the bridge then we go watch the Rangers!"
Jackie (throwing her fists in the air): "YEAH!!"
Ollie: "'Kay."
The car starts up as Mr. Makie takes the two out of the neighborhood and onto the main road towards a bridge, scaling over a body of water that goes out towards the open Gulf. Their family didn't live too far from Ollie's school, but with how school zones worked, their family was just slightly too close for a bus without some complications in schedules and too far to walk there without a bike... but he's too afraid for either of those options. So taking the car when it lines up with his parents was his best option.
Unlike his father and little sister, Ollie had to attend public school today. Which sadly meant that he couldn't just stay inside in the comfort of his own home or with family at the game despite his disinterest with sports, because it would at least give him an excuse to not be there.
His father and little sister are jamming out to the radio station's latest hits from popular artists to put on loop for the day. Ollie takes one of his chocolate chip granola bars to munch on as he looks out the window of the seat during the whole ride, trying to block out the noise.
Before he knows it, one blink, and the school is already at the car circle to drop him off.
Ollie: "Huh? We're here already?"
Mr. Makie: "Yep, we'll come pick you up later okay?"
Ollie: "Okay..."
Mr. Makie: "Alright, learn something ya'hear?"
Serenity: "Bye bye bro, we're getting Cracker Jacks!!"
Mr. Makie: "In a bit when we get there!"
Ollie: "Yeah... bye Dad, bye sis."
Ollie gets out the car and closes the door. The pair drives off with some embarrassingly loud music they clearly turned up when Ollie exited the vehicle... and he isn't sure how to feel about that.
Ollie, with his backpack on and confidence at a low, exits the car circle as he goes deeper towards the dark abyss of a slightly dim hallway. His looks are... plain and uninterested. His build was skinny, only around 5'8, short but unkempt brown hair, skin that could be mistaken snow, along jeans and a skinny jacket with the only notable part about it is the fur inside and a white line across the middle. The signature look of "one shoulder push and I'm running to cry at the stairs."
However, while Ollie's very shatterable self esteam was on full display, most of these worries are in his head as not much of anybody has a problem with him. All except...
???: "OH! Hey dude, "wet blanket" is here!"
Oh god. Why now?
???: "Hey, wet blanket! What you got for snacks today?!"
Ollie: "..."
At that moment, Ollie couldn't help but feel trapped in a corner despite not literally being in one. His biggest weakness on full display, all from the fact he was too spineless to resist the bullies demands. One bully names Max and the other being Andy, with his famous height and gap tooth.
Max: "Come on now, pay up! I'm hoping for fruit snacks like last week!"
Andy: "Yeah, you know the rules wet blanket!"
Ollie: "I-i.... okay..."
*Ollie crumbles under the pressure and ends up bringing out the saved up granola bars in his pocket that were supposed to be a stand-in for his breakfast today. The bullies swipe them with no hesitation... but a deal is a deal as they guffaw at the amount of Granola bars they got, acting as if they had just gotten the lottery as they start wolfing them down in front of Ollie."
Max: "Ohohoho yeah!! Mmph, you better be brining the good shit like this more often!"
The duo leave Ollie standing there, hungry and defeated as he hasn't even gotten the chance to eat more than a single bar today before it got forced out his hand. All by the bullies everyone knows but lack the strength to confront or tell on, especially Ollie.
All Ollie does to try and save this god awful start to the day is speed walk over to his class early to sit down.
However, his teacher was not at the class room earlier than he was, meaning the room was closed with nobody in it or nearby to let him in. The school he went to was one for young adults that are barely cracking to be legal adults or barely over 18 like himself. All that was left to do was curl up in a ball on a seat nearby, which Ollie figures to be the right course of action as he does exactly that.
Minutes pass with silence and the occasional walking, idle talking, or door opening goes by. But none of them are for his classroom. His day is already going wrong. He's not strong, he's not brave, he's not smart, he's not....
All of these thoughts are interrupted by a tap on his shoulders.
???: "Dude... it's early, you okay?"
Ollie: "H-huh...?"
The defeated boy looks up, seeing a girl with short black hair, freckles, a big hand-me-down jacket looks down at him. One he recognized.
Ollie: "Hey Emma..."
Emma: "Woah, you look like your about to cry. Something happen?"
Ollie: "Its... no, it's nothing..."
Emma: "Hmm."
Emma sets her stuff aside and sits on a set a bit over to Ollie's right.
To Ollie, Emma was someone he saw as someone that was everything he tried to be but couldn't aside from gender. Socially outgoing, capable, looking like she barely ages with her growth spurts, reliable in just about everything, everything that Ollie could be like in a million years. But surprisingly, she knew him for quiet a few school years even before this to know that Ollie being this vulnerable... surely meant something happened while she wasn't around.
Emma being around made things just a bit better for Ollie as much as he doesn't feel he does a good job at expressing it. She's the only person that he can let his guard down and not feel like he needs to run away from.
Emma: "You're early, I'm usually here before ya, what's up with that?"
Ollie: "...Dad and sis wanted to watch the Rangers play today."
Emma: "Ohhh, right. I almost forgot that's happening today, heh... Hey, just so you know, you did remember somethings gonna happen today, right?"
Ollie fell silent and eyes widened.
Emma: "And it's not like a project or anything!"
Ollie's expression lightend up a little but the fear didn't entirely leave.
Emma: "I mean, that there's gonna be some people coming in today. A guest speaker! I heard some chatter in one of the side offices with one of the teachers, so i don't think we'll be doing much work today... if that makes you feel better."
Ollie: "It does a little..."
Emma: "Even if it was a project, you still have my email if you wanted to pair up....Actually, I think I see them coming now."
Ollie looks down the hall as their teacher and some other students come to the classroom to open it up for then to go in.
The class subject was math, a subject that Ollie wasn't exactly interested in but doesn't do too bad in to be too miserable. Emma and Ollie sit next to each other as they put their stuff down and wait for a guest speaker to arrive. Seemingly a little late the regular teacher talked at the front of the room about what the guest speaker may potentially cover when they eventually arrive.
Minutes later, the guest speaker does show up. A bit short statured man with a large bald sport and a suit comes to the front of the room.
Mr. Eren: "Good morning everybody! My name is Mr. Eren! I am a technological expert in all things robotics and biology to give you a lecture on your future and how... math will be a big thing in your careers!"
This doesn't align with Ollie's interest as much. His future career isn't going to be using anything like the quadratic formula, at least, he hopes in his head as he drowns out a good portion of the lecture to look at his surroundings. To his right, Emma seems to be half paying attention at times to the lecture but only at certain buzzwords like "profit" or "cells" or "technological breakthrough." To his left and behind him, Ollie can see that Mr Eren wasn't the only person in a suit as other people outside his classroom are taking looks inside using the small window in the door. The suits in particular seem to be looking around where he's been sitting in his row.
He ultimately tries to not think about it too much as he spaces out and trying to avoid eye contact when he notices that one of the suits looked almost right at him.
The lecture too seemed so boring, it came in one ear and out the next as Mr Eren talked his ear off so much some people fell asleep until it was over. No math equations or nothing, just trying to convince everyone about being better at math for something nobody cared about... besides Emma somehow.
Eyeing the clock, everyone starts getting up to pack and leave to whatever their next classes would be. As they all leave, Emma was about to leave right behind Ollie...
Mr. Eren: "Excuse me young lady!"
Emma: "Huh?"
Mr. Eren: "I'd actually like to discuss something with you personally if that's alright."
Emma: "Oh, uh, sure?"
Ollie: "Huh... but-..."
Emma: "Hey, I'll be right behind you. Do what you need to do, okay?"
Ollie: ".... okay..."
Ollie, hesitantly, leaves the room but can't help but shake the feeling something is off. Especially about these suits. Why were there so many that looked in at the class, he wondered. And what offices did Emma say she heard them talking in?
Getting a bad feeling, he'd normally just run away or take it as is like he always does. But this just... wasn't any normal bad feeling. One that overtook his cowardice... he needed answers.
Just by his luck, he goes down one of the hallways to the closest teacher office that doubles as a walkway to the break room that he spots a suit leaving, instinctively hiding behind the corner of a wall as they walk away none the wiser.
Fearing that he's risking way too much on a hunch, Ollie tries to force himself to just... doing it. Huffing and trying to walk back and forth as if he's trying to get himself to run in an unwilling dare he accepted for himself. Ultimately swallowing his fear...
Ollie: "Here goes... everything.....!"
... He finds the energy to haphazardly but quickly tiptoes over to the open door to the offices that the suit came out of, peaking in to see that nobody is there. On a table he can see a message that was still open on a pretty advanced looking laptop for what he sees. It must've been important for some of the text to be highlighted in several areas. Taking this opprotunity to see if his gut feeling was right, he scoops at this laptop.
Ollie: "...."
Huh.
No, what.
That can't be right.
What are they talking about-
How many years?
They're joking right?
Why do they have files on Emma?
What is a "Life-Android?"
Is this what they were trying to trick us into?
All of these sudden thoughts flooded into Ollie's brain as he looked further into these agents whereabouts and plans. Plans about Emma as a sort of patient zero, plans about long term program with the school hidden under the rug, plans with having this do with some "Super cells" from something he hasn't had the slightest clue of.
All of this coming back to one question in his mind.
Ollie: "Emma's a robot? Does she know she is?!
Ollie decides that no, she needs to see this and decides to take the computer himself and sneak ou-
Suit: "HEY! What are you doing in here?!"
The world really couldn't let the "wet blanket" have one good thing happen today could it?

2024.05.03 03:09 mining_moron Kyanah City-State Dynamics: Part I -- Intercity Relations Road to Hope

The Kyanah do not have a world government like so many stereotypical alien civilizations, nor even large nation-states like Earth. The vast majority of the Kyanah population live inside city-states instead. This arises from the fact that Kyanah by nature distrust centralization, deep hierarchies, and collectivization. Any social unit larger than a pack must continuously justify its own existence and demonstrate that any obligations or restrictions it places on packs are outweighed by the benefits they bring to said packs. There is a school of Kyanah philosophical thought known as Fractalism, which posits that relationships between natural and societal structures at differing levels are essentially the same, and the relationship between a pack and its members is essentially a "zoomed in" version of the relationship between the state and citizen packs. But this is controversial even in the more communal and collectivist southern hemisphere, and generally regarded as complete hogwash in the north, where Centralism is much more prevalent, positing that the pack is the center of society, and every other component and societal structure exists to serve the pack structure. Under Centralist thought, it's quite difficult to justify huge governments spanning billions of citizens and vast stretches of territory, as the benefit to individual packs is much less clear than something like a city-state.
The prevalence of city-states over nation-states also means that there have never been large colonial empires in Kyanah history. There have been attempts to establish them, especially during the heyday of the Utopian era, but inevitably they have crashed and burned within a matter of years, with local administrators and populations simply failing to comply with directives from central authorities and ignoring the would-be colonial powers whenever their backs were turned, to an extreme degree. Thus, controlling fast colonial territories inevitably tends to be a money sink for outweighing any possible economic gain. That is not, of course to say, that the Kyanah have a peaceful history or that city-states haven't invaded and overthrown each other. All throughout history, plenty of city-states have been invaded and overthrown; Ikun alone has been responsible for hundreds of regime changes during the Hegemony Era. The difference between this and colonialism, is that Kyanah will tend to leave the conquered city-state once they've gotten what they wanted, whether that be resources, or putting a different government in power, instead of sticking around to try and administrate faraway territories themselves. The exceptions to this rule throughout Kyanah history have almost exclusively involved groups being driven from their home city-states by either natural disasters or persecution or war, and forcefully relocating themselves to someone else's land--again not exactly the same as establishing colonies.
The closest thing to colonialism in Kyanah geopolitics is likely the Globalist doctrine--so named because city-states use their influence to extract natural resources on a global scale. This is an outgrowth of treaties concerning so-called "open land" that exists outside the political and economic borders of any city-state and is thus free for any city-state or any citizens thereof to extract natural resources and develop infrastructure anywhere they please, as long as they don't attack foreign citizens or damage foreign infrastructure they come across in open land. While in theory a fair and just way to handle resources outside the purview of any jurisdiction, rich and powerful city-states were quick to find ways to game the system. Essentially, corporations and city-states in the affluent and heavily industrialized Rktakian Kwardniet could afford to send ultra long-range missions to acquire natural resources in ways that many others could not. Corporations based in city-states like Ikun, and the states themselves, were able to travel halfway around the world to extract resources from right under the snouts of smaller and weaker city-states that may not have the finances to send such resource-gathering expeditions very far afield. The developed northern city-states are thus able get the raw materials they want while cutting out the middleman and avoiding a morass of tariffs and regulations that are inevitable when dealing with global trade networks with thousands of city-states. Meanwhile, weaker city-states are locked out of natural resources that might be sitting just outside their borders.
Of course, private and state-sponsored expeditions to cut out the middleman in trade networks have existed for centuries in all parts of the Kyanah homeworld, but in the period after the Utopian Wars, marked by the exploding popularity of civilian cargo aircraft, nuclear power, and rapidly expanding road and rail networks, made it far more practical to do this on a massive scale. This led to the Globalist doctrine, with city-states in the Rktakian Kwardniet (especially Ikun) getting far more systematic and tactical with it; instead of just getting their hands on natural resources, these expeditions serve secondary, sometimes multiple strategic purposes, with who doesn't get access to resources often being just as important as who does. Ikun has, for instance, been known to orchestrate blatantly unprofitable mining ventures or burn down ecosystems in open lands, solely to block specific developing city-states from mining and harvesting easily accessible resources just outside their borders, in order to advance some geopolitical goal of their own. As the Far South city-states such as Koranah have developed economically, they have also begun to employ Globalist tactics, despite consistently railing against Ikun's implementation of the same tactics in inter-city forums. Despite these tactics, global trade networks continue to grow and grow; no city-state can make everything on their own, every city-state has to import something. Ikun in particular, despite being the most powerful city-state in the world, is a net importer of food, and also extensively imports nanogears--critical components for the Kyanahs' mechanical computers--from Koranah, who produce them at the highest quality and the highest quantity of any city-state.
Possibly the biggest example of Globalist doctrine in action in Kyanah history is the Water Distribution System. The WDS originated after the Utopian Wars as a highly decentralized project, with hundreds of corporations and city-states each building water piplines, silos, collection plants, wells, and all the other necessary infrastructure to efficiently exchange water between themselves and their neighbors and allies. However, Ikun saw the opportunity to use its own technology and infrastructure to merge it all into a cohesive system by bridging crucial gaps in strategic locations around the world, refining and optimizing the infrastructure, and vastly expanding the number of control nodes used to direct the flow of water. This way, flow of water could be optimized across the entire planet, swiftly moving excess water to drought-stricken regions and eliminating droughts. This vision was realized early in the administration of Ikun City Alpha Nyektak-pack, creating the Water Distribution System in its modern form. However, with Ikun technology and Ikun control nodes dominating the system, this gave them an outsized level of control over where the water would flow, with their control nodes being in some cases able to cancel out and override those of other city-states by virtue of numbers. This didn't give Ikun absolute mastery over all water on the planet--other city-states had control nodes too--but it did give them the ability to put their finger on the scale at critical moments and exert undue influence. That being said, water actually did get cheaper and deaths by drought actually did decrease--at least until increasing ecological disasters began to strain the system--so the Water Distribution System has a rather controversial reputation globally.
Eventually, Koranah city-state, Ikun's strongest foreign rival, would come to take inspiration from the Water Distribution System. As environmental destruction intensified year by year, many city-states had the idea to use advanced geoengineering technologies to combat this, planning to construct vast control nodes like living factories that would pump out genetically engineered microbes and nanobots to eat pollution, stabilize ecosystems, and control local weather patterns. Koranah's diplomats encouraged this, secretly planning to do what Ikun did with the Water Distribution System and bring these disparate projects together into a cohesive system, which Koranah would seek to control by establishing their own control nodes at the points in the world where they could have the greatest influence for the least effort. This would create the Climate Control System, able to optimize weather and ecosystems globally instead of just locally, while allowing Koranah to use their control nodes to influence the weather at key points to maximize their own interests. Naturally, Ikun was highly opposed to this and moved to ban geoengineering and use its network of allies and privileged position in the Coalition of Cities to pressure other city-states into following suit or facing sanctions. As an alternative, Ikun touted its own plan Project Hope, a military invasion of Earth designed to revitalize its own faltering economy and demonstrate its unparalleled capability of force projection to allies and enemies alike, thereby keeping the Hegemony alive while still giving their city-state's citizens hope (hence the name) that they will be able to escape the looming ecological disaster coming from geoengineering being banned, and start a new life on Earth.
The interesting thing about all of these is that Kyanah city-states are exerting their influence in foreign lands without actually creating empires and directly controlling other city-states, they're not really making colonies per se even if their activities have a global reach. City-states utilizing Globalist doctrine aren't ruling over or directly plundering foreign cities, they're extracting resources and developing infrastructure in the Kyanah equivalent of international waters, albeit with occasionally devastating consequences to weaker and poorer city-states. Even the invasion of Earth by Ikun city-state doesn't involve Ikun establishing direct control over all or even part of Earth. They couldn't do that even if they wanted to, not with the Kyanah tendency to reject centralized authority, and the 12 year speed of light delay for all communications. The goal is simply to establish independent but Ikun-friendly regimes in politically dominant positions on Earth to expand the Hegemony from one world to two.
Though the Hegemony, Ikun's policy of outsized, unparalleled influence on global affairs, is backed by more than just subtle economic manipulation. The Globalist doctrine, including the Water Distribution System, is just one pillar. Another key pillar is the nuclear monopoly. Having used their own nuclear weapons to preemptively destroy every other city-state seeking to develop them, Ikun maintains the policy that while all city-states may use nuclear power for peaceful purposes, only Ikun can have nuclear bombs. They know good and well that if other city-states developed them--especially Koranah, whose economy and conventional military have all but caught up to Ikun--the Hegemony would collapse in an instant and be replaced by a multi-polar world dominated by mutually assured destruction, diminishing Ikun from hyperpower to mere superpower. Ikun also retains an extremely strong conventional military that it uses to project force across the world, overthrowing and propping up regimes as it sees fit, though during the Nyektak-pack administration, such overt methods are less commonly used than the early days of the Hegemony Era.
The third pillar of the Hegemony is Ikun's influence in the Coalition of Cities. Originally conceived by young idealists and activists as a neutral forum for city-states to resolve their issues in a civilized manner, professional bureaucrats and politicians quickly joined and took over the organization, and Ikun adopted the strategy of using the Coalition as a very much not neutral forum to coordinate its own allies and target its enemies with sanctions and weaponized diplomacy. Much like the Water Distribution System, they carefully select their allies--there are thousands to choose from thanks to the Kyanah having city-states rather than nation-states--to maximize their influence over the Coalition for minimum effort. Normally, as there are over 3000 member states, it's not practical for all ambassador-packs to be at Coalition HQ at all times, especially as a lot of the time, city-states may be using the forum for relatively trivial matters of only regional interest. It can be a crapshoot which members are being represented there at any given time, but savvy ambassadors will try to be present whenever inter-city deals are being made that might concern their city-states, or use occasions when ambassadors from rival city-states aren't present to ram through treaties that are harmful to them. Ikun has an have an uncanny knack for both of these; it's likely no coincidence that they maintain very close diplomatic ties and very preferential trade deals with Kutwenyah, the ostensibly neutral city-state where the Coalition of Cities is headquartered.

2024.05.03 02:48 dessertmuseum What are long-term relationships actually like?

TL; DR Been together five years. Feel like drifting apart, but so intertwined breaking up doesn't feel realistic.
I'll start by saying I'm not exactly sure how to navigate this. I also barely trust myself in writing this because in a deep relationship with someone, you can't fully appreciate how the other person is thinking. But I don't have a lot of people in my life I can talk to about stuff like this and would just appreciate some insight on whether a situation like this is "normal."
I've been with my partner about five years now. It is also my longest relationship: I'd never dated anyone longer than a couple months and, before we met, I kinda just bounced from fling to fling.
We fell in love with one another almost immediately, moved cross country with one another, have a dog together, moved multiple times together. We got through COVID together in a three-room apartment. Our lives are almost inextricably intertwined. She moved across the United States for me, and I promised to wherever she'd want to move next. I still hold true to that promise.
The last few years, it's been a lot colder. I don't want to reveal a lot of personal details but we don't really have the same interests anymore -- I love being outdoors, she's inside more, I like interacting with other people, she does not -- but it's never been an issue. I stay loyal, she does too, we basically live our own lives, independent of one another, and always end up together at the end of the day.
The issue for me is that her moods are more volatile. I'm not going to say I'm perfect at all, and I've been trying to work on it, but things are getting harder. The other day I came home from work, and it was a rare day where she was in a good mood and I was not. She tried to show me something she was doing on a game the other day and, I don't know, I just couldn't stand to be there. I hadn't been outside in days, and I just needed to go for a walk, and I was rude in leaving. She called me an asshole, and I shut the door on her.
We have barely spoken in two days. I tried to apologize (not hard, I'll admit) but she hasn't even looked at me in the last day, nor has she acknowledged my effort to try and fix things. Before I started writing this I asked "can we talk?" and she closed the door on me.
It's not unusual here. There have been a bunch of times where she dismisses me when she doesn't feel like interacting sometimes. I try and let it roll off my back when it happens to me, but I feel I'm not afforded the same grace. This is one of those times.
I don't know. It feels like we both have some burgeoning resentment for one another -- she feels like I'm not there for her or sufficiently supportive and, at the same time, I feel what I do is not appreciated while I feel I'm making sacrifices to move us forward. I'm starting a master's degree this summer, admittedly because I feel the cost of our lifestyle has outpaced what I'm capable of on my own and that I won't be able to support myself on my own merits wherever we move. I am the only one who grocery shops, and she pays me back maybe half the time. I do most of the cleaning. I do most of the stuff with the dog, though she has pushed us into getting a trainer for him. I do most of the cooking. I pay the vast majority of the bills. When I try and raise the issue, it's another fight.
I'm not going to be delusional and say we aren't a partnership: we are. I also acknowledge I'm not present all the time I need to be. She has had some tough weeks emotionally -- they are frequent -- and I feel some fatigue at that. I feel bad about it too... in my head I always think "I'm not her therapist" and feel terrible, but I just can't do it all the time.
I always think about when we met. We were both highly ambitious people. In the years since, I feel like I lost that and am trying to regain that. I also feel like she is not. I don't want to give up on the relationship, but I genuinely don't know how to right the ship. She has acknowledged she's been having some mental health issues and she needs me. I know that, and I've been trying to live up to that. But I feel like I'm being asked to do everything, and I'm sacrificing a lot of myself in the process.
I know every relationship is about compromise. You will inherently blame the other person for things that are your own decision. I know I do. But I feel like I'm being depended on more than I can handle, almost to the point where I'm questioning whether the choices I'm making are for me or for a relationship in which I'm not getting what I need.
The biggest issue for me now feels like the dog. It's like a child to me, and I try not to rock the boat specifically because of that little guy. But we fight every five minutes -- it's usually my fault, and sometimes, I don't even know what the fight is about.
I really don't know what to think. I don't know if I'm the bad guy in this relationship or not, but I'm so tired. I know loving someone isn't easy, but we're two relatively young people with cool jobs and a fair amount of time away from one another. Is this normal? I'm 31. I really want to have a family, but I'm getting older and, frankly, I'm starting to have doubts. I could really use some stories about what it's actually like for the rest of you.

2024.05.03 01:57 -The-Master-Baiter- unnamed story: first 5000 words

P.S. I know there are a lot of spelling and grammar errors; keep in mind that this is a first draft, and I am not fixing such errors right now. I am mainly looking for thoughts on the quality of writing and story itself.
The sky was grey and clogged with dark sagging clouds that seemed brooding and ready to release their sodden payload. Ironically the street was clogged with people who rushed antlike from place to place shoulders hunched eyes glancing furtively at the clouds. Amid the rush of black and brown and occasional blond heads rushing down the overladen sidewalks, there was a head of hair the shade of red on associated with crimson droplets of beaded blood or dark wine being swished in a glass.
Cain Caddel the owner of this remarkable hair, was not particularly special himself, at least in regards to his standing in society. He was a single middle-aged man who lived a comfortable and private life in a wooden cabin outside of the city. He had a golden retriever named Angel and had many books which he liked to read by the fire before bed. He had a standard paper pushing job in which he was competent and made good money in, but in which he had showed no inclination to climb the corporate ladder. He was gradually, though not slowly accumulating money for retirement. In short, Cain lived a comfortable life, the sort of which he had dreamed of when he had struggled simply to survive many years past. If Cain could describe his situation in one word it would be, content.
Cain was not in a hurry to get home to his dog and he did not care about the rain. He had felt it in the past and would feel it again. He only walked fast so as not to disrupt the swift tidelike flow of the crowd. The was nothing demanding his attention, nothing to stress him, nothing to bother him. Wasn’t this the closest thing to liberation a man could achieve? He had reached the final peak of all he had ever desired and he was satisfied. In that moment and for a reason which he could not precisely explain, Cain felt an intense, almost euphoric feeling of contentment. He felt a rising urge to laugh hysterically, but repressed it with surprising difficulty.
Perhaps it was the whim of a cruel God that made the following events happen when they did.
Cain felt a sudden ache in his head like how he felt midway through a bad headache, but as soon as it had appeared, the sensation vanished. It was as abrupt as running into a tree you hadn’t seen or teleporting somewhere utterly random. Then Cain missed a step and then another. He stumbled forward in a drunken shamble his head suddenly swimming in sluggish circles. Then he recovered. The entire sensation disappeared as instantaneously as it had appeared. For a moment Cain Found himself staring blankly at the ground too bewildered to notice anything.
But of course, then he heard the screaming.
It was the loudest scream the broke him out of his reverie. It was a man’s voice gibbering and high.
“STOP, STOP, STOP, STOP!,” repeated again and again mindlessly and pleadingly. The were other noises too. Whimpering moans, high wails, cries for help. Looking around Cain saw many people collapsed on the ground. The man who had cried stop was spasming violently and foaming at the mouth. His cries to stop were swiftly being replaced with vague gurgles. Most were not in the condition of the stop man though. Many quivered violently on the ground or screamed as though they were undergoing slow and brutal torture, but they were better than the stop man.
There were even a few stragglers who had not collapsed and had simply fallen to a knee or leaned against a wall. They all had faces screwed with pain and clenched fists. The faces of people who had just stepped on a nail or were undergoing surgery without medication.
Abruptly, Cain wondered why he was not experiencing such pain, or whatever it was. In the entire visible stretch of sidewalk he was the only one standing-
There was a deep thud and a crash of breaking glass as car crashed into the side of a glass skyscraper. Panes rippled and then shattered high up the building in a wave which left a wake of falling glittering shards. The shards fell among the catatonic people in a shattering rain. An errant piece hit Cain’s arm but failed to penetrate the fabric of his suit. Another grazed his temple, leaving a searing line of pain.
Cain decided to run.
He had no clue, no fucking clue what was going on, but staying outside seemed like a stupid idea. The smart move was to hide somewhere and wait this out. He felt a flash of guilt at the thought of leaving all the people out there to the mercy of errant cars and mysterious pain, but what could he do when everyone was affected? No, it was best to lie low and wait. Cain sprinted toward the nearest safe building, he had to be fast. there was no telling when the next derailed car would crash. He hopped over quivering torsos, and limp hands. Too limp. And the he pulled open the translucent glass door of some off brand looking retail store.
Without bothering scouting his surroundings, Cain ran through racks of wacky T-shirts and shelved of knickknacks, toward the back of the store which had an unlabeled door. Second floor, it must be! The first floor was unsafe, especially with all those windows, and that glass door. He needed high ground for safety.
There was a titanic roar and a concussion that thrust Cain forward and to his knees in a painful bump. The very windows he had been worried about burst violently inward along with dust, and debris, and…. and a red chunk. A chunk that looked like a piece of raw beef. It flew through the air and landed with a wet, small sound. A sound that seemed too small and too real. Cain stared at the chunk fascinated by it. He knew what it was, but.. No why think about it, it did no good. It would disctract him from what mattered. He needed to get to the second floor and wait for this die down, that was what he needed to do.
Everything would be fine and die down if he just waited on the second floor… Cain was still riveted by the chunk. it was red and glistening, and it pooled its redness around itself in a slow leak. Was like grocery store meat, so impersonal, so inhuman.
Cain stood, fast and shook his head like a dog. He turned around and walked through the unmarked door. It led to an unlit and narrow staircase with dirty white paint; the kind one would imagine coke gets snorted from liberally.
The staircase led to a hallway, which was essentially just a hallway version of the staircase: narrow dirty and poorly lit, and generally indicative of drug deals. There was a row of doors with golden numbers, and a shabby brown carpet and a row of windows overlooking the street. Amond a field of sprawling bodies there was a number of stragglers who stumbled drunkenly around the road as if they were heavily drugged. Glittering shards of broken glass sparkled cheerfully up between corpses and the occasional bang or scream could be heard In the background. A red flicker glinted off of the shards of glass.
“My fucking God, Lord have mercy, what the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck.” Cain whispered his eyes breathily to himself, speaking out loud for the first time since the disaster began. Scenes kept replaying in his mind, over and over again in a cruel loop. The man screaming stop again and again futilely, like a pig at slaughter who knows it is about to die. His bloodshot eyes rolling sightlessly. The sides of his mouth foamed with white froth. The car hitting the building straight on, confidently and without hesitation, the driver killing himself. The chunk of meat that looked beef from a grocery store that had plopped down beside him like a treat tossed to an obedient dog.
Cain closed his eyes and breathed in slowly and shakily, then he breathed out. He tried to blot out the images and shut out the cycle. Images kept multiplying and reappearing: Ameobus that multiplied after being cut apart. But eventually he calmed down enough to think and be rational. He opened his eyes, though his breathing was still ragged and shaking.
“Ok what the fuck.” He whispered to himself, knowing he didn’t need to whisper but not caring. “What happened?”
It was like an Emp to the brain that had swept over everyone at once and destroyed people’s circuitry, though not everyone had been treated equally.
He was the prime example of that.
He had gotten off easy with just bad headache and a stumble for a few seconds, whereas others sounded as if their very souls were being rent apart. What was the significance of his near immunity? He had not worn any special headwear or worn any special clothing. He had no metal on him apart from his watch, phone, and parts of his pants. Could it be that he had been standing in just that right place for the attack to affect him to a lesser degree, the same way a lucky blind man could survive a hail of arrows by standing in the right place? It seemed unlikely. And he was already assuming it was an attack in the first place. It could have been aliens or the fucking wrath of God.
There was no benefit to speculation anyway, he needed to focus on the present. As it was, all he knew was that everyone in the immediate area was either dead or wandering in a drugged daze. He had no knowledge of how extensive this effect was; for all he knew, the entire continent, or hell the entire world had been affected. He could be the only sane person alive in the world.
So he should try to gather information, then. Cain took out his phone and opened the news app to the most recent story.
Oklahoma F4 Hurricane Kills Four, 10 Million In Estimated Damages.
Not surprising. The event was too sudden for anyone to make a news story already, and, if this had happened everywhere of course, who would make it ? All the writers and journalists were probably dead or more fucking zombies.
Wait what was he doing anyway? He didn’t know how extensive this was and for all he knew it could have only affected the immediate area. The police station was an hour away; it could be unaffected!
He dialed 911, it rang once, then twice, then three times, then ten times, then twenty. He glanced at his watch after five minutes and hung up the call. No good, he was being too optimistic.
So what did he do now? The news was out, and the police were probably the same as everyone else. There were no friends he wanted to call, and his mom was long dead. Any siblings either didn’t exist or were too separated for him ever to find them. He stared blankly at the useless keypad of his phone app for a minute before an idea came to him.
He opened Facebook, eyes glued to the blue f and heart beating rapidly. This would work, he knew it would. People of all kinds, all over the world used Facebook. If anyone else was alive in reasonable numbers, then there would be some kind of information on Facebook. And maybe this fucking nightmare only occurred in the surrounding few miles. Maybe the police were just busy and unable to pick up, that would be understandable given the situation. Maybe the news was working on a story right now and it was breaking news on every tv in bars and stores and houses all across America.

Breaking News: A deadly and unexplainable phenomenon engulfed the California Town of Mount St Louis. Initial Probe reveals thousands dead and thousand more catatonic. Experts are still researching cause…

The blue f faded and revealed a list of posts. The first was a picture of a solemn looking yellow lab curled in a corner surrounded by puppies with the snarky title of: Running from Her Responsibilities. The post was from six days ago.
Cain felt an irrational and sudden dip in his excitement but forced it away. Was he expecting all his desires to be magically fulfilled in the first second of opening the app? It wasn’t like Facebook regularly showed posts from less than an hour ago in the feed. But… With a frown, Cain went to preferences and switched to most recent. The blue F returned and disappeared as the page loaded and Cain’s Eyes widened, his heart beating rapidly and his chest feeling light and airy.
All of the most recent posts were about the same thing. I collapsed and now everyone around me is... Does anyone know if the police….Can someone…I was cooking and my wife fell over do you… Please help…
The posts were all accompanied by pictures. They were all different, many showed pictures of the street in different towns, all with the same story: people collapsed everywhere with a few stragglers, often crashed cars or damage was visible. Many people were isolated or with a friend or family and posted about collapsing and not being able to contact anyone or about family dying in extreme pain. One man survived after driving on a crowded highway, his picture showing a hellscape of overturned cars, scattered metal with intermittent fires, and sprawled and dismembered corpses.

Cain’s heart pounded in a dreadful THUMP THUMP that resonated through his chest in cruel and rapid beats. There were posts from everywhere. There was one from Florida and one from South Dakota, and dozens more from unnamed towns that could be anywhere. America was dead.
Jesus Christ is the world over? His legs weakened, whatever passive energy that had been holding them up draining out like water through sieve. He fell to his knees with a dull thump, but his didn’t care about the pain. A funny thought occurred to him.
I actually fell to my knees. I thought that was just the kind of shit people say when they’re being overdramatic.
The world was over. He knew it. This was not some attack, there was no technology that could do this. It might be aliens and it might be God, though it was probably something else. But it didn’t matter. It was over.
He sat there for a second just thinking about it all. He had been walking home to see Angel, then he was going to make dinner. He had been thinking about grilling a burger, and he would give some to her. He would read more of a mystery novel he had found at the Barnes and Noble. It was light thing, the book version of popcorn, but he wanted to finish it. He was going to work tomorrow. What was going to happen now? What did he do now?

Well first he had to wait and then of course he needed food and water and shelter. And he would obviously need to make it home to Angel. The streets would be clogged with crashed cars and corpses, so no driving fa car for poor old Cain. Maybe a bike or a motorcycle? He couldn’t drive one but he could take it slow. There would be no angry drivers honking the shit out of him for going 10 miles per hour. And when he got the hang of it he could go faster, maybe 20. But it the roads looked like the hellscape in the post he saw, then maybe he would have to stick to 10.

He felt a bit of pressure pass out from him like air whistling out of the end of an overfilled balloon. He knew what to do, yeah the world probably, well almost certainly, ended, but he had a solid course of action for the next few days. He just need to wait another hour to be absolutely sure nothing would explode or fall or otherwise reduce him to the state of one of the fortunate people lying dead on the street.
He leaned back against the wall and looked at the shoddy golden letter seven on the door opposite him. Behind him, the laden clouds finally released their load. Heavy droplets of rain pattered down on the dead streets. On the pavement, a man whose gaze was vacant of the normal thoughtfulness and constant analysis of a human being looked up as a cold droplet impacted his forehead. He stood where he was for a moment, his hair soon growing flat and waterlogged his suit clinging to his round middle-aged body, almost seeming to contemplate this new development. Then he kept walking forward, his steps slow and seemingly deliberate.



























Chapter 2.
David Sharp walked down the streets of New York in his standard relaxed yet confident stride, both of his hands in the pockets of his suit pants. It was one of his daily suits, fashionable, and quite expensive, but only enough that it evoked admiration and respect, not jealousy or annoyance at a pointless display of wealth.
He glanced down at a particularly twisted looking corpse. It was a thin and tall woman with equally thin and long blond hair. She wore a homemade looking sweater and had on a delicate pair of slip on shoes. She seemed like the type to bring her neighbors casseroles and call you hon or dear, or so he theorized.
As she was, her mouth was stretched open wide enough to fit a small melon, her jaw looked purple and discolored, the bones seemed to be in almost the wrong place. Her cheeks traced tears of dried blood from empty sockets where eyeballs had burst. Her torso was twisted like a rag doll from a spine broken in pained thrashing.
“Oh my dear, I’m so sorry for you” he said, his voice soft and genuine.
He looked up at a small figure who was standing father down the street.
This was not one of the zombie people whose minds had been broken by the event, but a person, he knew it.
He kept walking forward, his stride now cautious and unsure. He looked around at the broken city around him as if searching for something. When he neared the man, he snapped his head toward him.
“Hey, are you alive?! He rushed up to the man “You don’t look like one of them”
The man turned around to look at David. His eyes were vacant, but not in the same way as the zombies. He wore a dirty band shirt and black exercise pants. His feet were scraped and red and he only had flip flops on.
“Laura, she died. She just died.” He said it in a the monotone of a college student doing a presentation about an obscure African tribe.
“she just fell over and started flailing her arms and screaming. I fell over too and I couldn’t do anything. When I was better, she was dead. I felt her pulse, and she felt too cold. She was pregnant. The baby is dead now too.
David touched the man’s shoulder.
“Come on, you need to eat and get inside. My house is nearby.” He smiled gently.
“I am much luckier than you, since there was no one for me to mourn. Feel welcome to stay as long as you need.”
He guided the man to his apartment with a hand on his back. The man followed with no resistance, his eyes stared constantly forward at some unknown point.
David guided the man to an elevator and up his suite on the fourth floor of the skyscraper. It was a perfect suite. Massive, with high ceiling and white ceiling lights that washed the entire apartment with an even glow, it was full of the kind of modern furniture that made use of simple geometric shapes to create an elegant but straightforward appearance.
He guided the man to an armchair in front of his custom flatscreen. The man sat down, accepting easily. He took to David’s guidance like a lost puppy, his mind was still pliable from his crushing loss, David could feel it.
In fact, David could feel it much more easily than normal. It was not just his ability to flawlessly modulate his emotions and analyze those around him. Martin was open to him, his mind was peeled apart by his loss: a normally solid wall, crushed by a fierce battering ram of emotional destruction.
Martin! That is his name, I am utterly sure.
David’s facial muscles twitched up in an involuntary smile, perhaps the first involuntary emotional response he had experienced since early childhood.
This could be very good. And he had the perfect test subject sitting placid and pliable, waiting for his guiding hand.
David reached out with an invisible hand toward Martin’s mind. He had always had the hand, he realized, but it had been more of a finger. It nudged, prodded, and massaged, but it lacked force, so much force that he had not known he had been using it. It was many times stronger now, maybe hundreds of times.
The hand plunged into the soft pliable mind as one would plunge their arm into a bowl of Jello.
“Uuuh!” Martin said.
He jerked slightly as if he had been shocked.
The fingers felt Martin’s Love for Laura and her blond hair and mischievous jokes, and the crushing, overwhelming emotional emptiness when he felt her cold dead corpse. The fingers explored, wiggling and invading. Martin’s Childhood memories were in there, they saw that he had gone to college for a year, but realized that he had always been too lazy to really apply himself. They saw him meeting Laura at the office and getting to know her. She was always serious when working, but she had a cute side where she laughed and joked. He had a love for classic video games, especially Mario, and he…
Martin was spasming violently, his hands clawed at his scalp and ripped out chunks of dirty black hair as though he was trying to remove a rabid rat from his skull.
He went. “UUUH, UUUUUHH, UUUUH!”
The hand stopped exploring and retracted carefully.
David sped over to the pathetic man, whose head now lolled loosely on his shoulder. He put a hand on Martin’s shoulder.
“Martin, Jesus, what happened? Did it happen to you again, the thing that killed everyone, I mean?
He ran over to Martin’s other side and examined his face.
The eyes were now as vacant as a zombie and a line of translucent drool traced down his chin and neck. His body was limp and responseless.
The hand split apart into many tiny gentle tendrils and wormed their way into Martin’s mind. David had not known he could do it until he had already started.
The hand had mashed and scrambled Martin’s weakened mind: a clumsy toddler playing with a fragile nest. The tendrils were very different.
They wormed their way quietly and harmlessly along, moving, fixing, rearranging; a hundred thousand fingers, reassembling a shattered mind.
More than a mere 100 times stronger
Martin bucked a few times, some invisible mechanisms being triggered accidentally. Then the vacant eyes were once again occupied. Martin sat up in his chair as his muscles regained control.
Martin stared fixedly at the T.V. then turned to examine the furniture and the window with the view of New York. He brought his hand to his face looking, most likely, at the dirty fingernails and scabbed over cuts. He put his hand down and sat for a few moments.
He stood and turned around, now looking at David. His eyes were no longer crushed and empty, but wide and confused.
“How…how did I get here?”
David smiled.
“I found you wandering around the street and at first I thought you must be one of those zombies. But I was walking nearby, and I saw that you looked a little different. It was hard to put a finger on; a certain clearness of the eyes, maybe. So I asked if you were alive and you responded with some meaningless sounds. It was quite clear that your mind was barely holding on.”
“Of course, I never leave a man in need so I escorted you to my house and set you down in a chair. It seemed likely to me that in your case the ailment of the mind was of a lesser degree and might heal over time. As we both can see, you are standing.”
Martin stood and absorbed the stream of information the same as a stone cliff might absorb a passing wind.
“I think… I lost something, but I can’t remember. Its fuzzy, I-“
“Oh God, Oh Shit!”
Suddenly he leaned forward as if he had been struck in the crotch and held his head.
“It fucking hurts!” Martin screamed, “Oh fucking God, it hurts!
David walked over to Martin and eased him into the chair.
“Sit down,” he said in his most gentle voice. “sit here for a second and you will feel a little bit better.”
David put his hand on Martin’s back and soothed. The hand’s touch soft and guiding, massaged the aching mind.
After a few minutes Martin’s back muscles relaxed.
“Thank you,” he whispered.
“Do not thank me. I am simply doing my duty as a decent human being.”
Martin turned to David with a face of mixed gratitude, and intense confusion.
“Please… what happened.”
“First, you should look outside. It will explain better than I am capable of. Hold on to your stomach.”
Martin walked toward the window with an unsteady studder to his steps. He tilted his down and looked at the street only to jerk back in shock. Little black shapes littered the street, and several cars were piled on top of each other like pancakes tossed in a lazy pile.
“Jesus!”
Before Martin could speak further, David began explaining
“I do not know exactly what happened, but three days ago, there was something like a wave that swept over everyone in the world, as far as I can tell. Most died, and most who survived turned into what I and the remainder of the internet is calling zombies; people who live but only in the scientific sense. They have no mind; they walk around in a shambles without any apparent direction. Out of those who did not die, a bare fraction retained their mind: their ability to think and make logical decisions.”
David spoke in the businesslike but sad-tinged tone of someone who has accepted a truth but has yet to fully move past it.
“I do not know what spared this group, whether it was some unknown factor or pure random chance. But I would be surprised if more than 1 in 1000 people survived, though that is a wild guess based on nothing but my own intuition. You are the first person I have seen that I am absolutely sure is not a zombie.”
“I believe that your headache and your fuzzy mind were caused by the wave. I theorize that the wave affected everyone to a different degree, in the most extreme cases, people died in minutes, but some took hours to die. I believe you were affected almost to the point of zombification, but the effect ended right on the brink between a living mind and a shattered one. When I found you, your eyes seemed to have a spark of intelligence but little more.”
Martin still looked out of the window, with a hunched back and dark hair hanging in strings.
“What about me…what happened to me? I lost something.”
David walked next to Martin; lips pinched in a sympathetic line.
“Martin, I don’t know… how could I? Everyone in the world had to deal with the wave on their own. I felt pain like you did. How could I have been there when it happened to you? I only found you by chance. As your mind strengthens it may come to you and it may not, that is the best I can tell you.”
Martin turned to look at David, his eyes were bloodshot from tears, his stubble and greasy strands of hair seemed to stand out.
“How do you know my name? I never told you.”
David smiled his gentle smile again.
“You let it slip out while you were a near zombie. I thought it would be good for you to hear it again, nothing more than that.”
The hand reached out to Martin’s mind, ready sooth away irrational anger and needless distrust, but it felt a wall. A wall of sturdy steel-hard will.
Martin’s eyes grew wide and he took a step back.
“You, you just tried to do something to me! I felt it in my mind!
David’s smile smoothly transitioned into an expression of affront and sad understanding.
He spoke slowly and with a hint of hurt.
“David, I know that you are confused and angry, but all I have ever done is help you. Please try to direct your anger at something else. I do not mind being supportive, I cannot help if you lash out.”
Martin’s expression softened, and he hesitated.
It was then that the hand, now a fist, struck.
The wall of steel shattered and the hand drew back splitting apart into tendrils which weened their way into the crevices of Martin’s mind.
Martin instantly relaxed, all anger and suspicion disappearing like a candleflame before a gale.
But then a wave a steel hard resolve exploded out of Martins mind and the tendrils were blown apart.
The hand started reforming itself.
I cannot be gentle with this one.
Martin’s face screwed up in an expression of utter rage.
“You FUCK, you BASTARD, it was you wasn’t it!”
Martin charged at David a pocketknife gleaming in his hand.
Hidden the whole time.
David turned on a heel and dodged Martin. Of course he had taken self-defense courses. He could defeat and immobilize Martin easily, but Martin was useless now, he was too fargone to be worth keeping.
David, caught Martin’s wrist and with an efficient twist, had Martin on his stomach with an arm stuck behind his back. There he patiently waited. One second. Two seconds. Three seconds.
The hand reformed.
Four seconds. Five seconds….
David fed his will into the hand, increasing its size and its power.
Ten seconds.
The hand seemed about to explode. It was a white-hot pulsing mass of will.
Martin seemed about to know what was going to happen.
“PLEASE, PLEASE, STOP, I’M SORRY-“
The hand crashed into Martin’s feeble wall.
It tore apart like a thin sheet of rice paper.
It sank deep into Martin’s mind and he moaned in pain. David felt more and more of Martin’s memories. They came earlier and earlier the deeper he went until he saw a sweet face with dark hair and red lips, and feeling of warmth and simple love. Then he let the hand explode.
Martin Jerked upwards almost throwing David off of him and then went limp. Blood pooled from where his eyes faced the floor.
David, got up and walked to the window with his hands behind his back.
“It seems that I am not the only one who changed.”










Chapter 3

2024.05.03 01:17 Cool-Historian-6716 I JUST FINISHED SEASON 4 AND I AM NOT OK

I listened to the Q&A of season 3 is always good to get somethings close to right. It is also nice to learn about things I didn’t notice on my first round. Glad I am not the only one obsessed with Elias voice 😂
How am I in season 4 already? Also that trailer my sweet Martin. I am glad despite all he is still sweet.
I don’t know how many days/weeks have been since the mission. Have any of them tried reading statements aloud to him to make him better? Interesting that the non neutral record turned on.
OMG the dream guy! The one that predicted Gertrude’s death. And at the end of that episode John said that he hoped he would be warned beforehand. Also that sentient tape recorder.
He is fucking death? OMG 😱 JOHN NEEDS TO CHOOSE? 😭😭😭😭 but what will he become if he chooses to not give in to the end. Like what does it mean to give in fully to the eye?
Oh no spiders 😭😭😭 is this the season of the web isn’t it? 😭😭😭😭 but also why can the spider request something of someone related to the end?
How does this show just keep getting better and better
I love how much Georgie cares about John without it being implied she still has feelings for him. Just pure friendship, you only get angry at people you really care about
So we know Georgie has seen death. But maybe she is touched somehow. And that is why she can identify the avatar?
SIX MONTHS!!!???
Ohhhhh… is this about the lonely?
“Dusty old white men thinking about existence” 😂☠️ best definition of philosophy
Love how sutil it is how John changes as reading the statement is curing him almost.
“WHAT DID HE DO TO MARTIN?” The tone change in John!!!! I am sure many people in the fandom squealed at that
Yeah this is not just an emotional breakdown… there has to be something more going on
When Gerry talked about the Lucase’s he mentioned something about the lonely. If the other entities have taken notice of the beholding… and are attacking why would Elias appoint someone related to another entity? Now that I think about it on season 1 they mentioned they were patrons… why would they support the institute?
He said “THE ARCHIVIST” not “head archivist” subtle but probably important change
“Spindly” and website… spiders isn’t?
“Welcome to tory Britain” I love how they make obvious their social justice beliefs but in very subtle ways.
Omg that interaction with Martin was heartbreaking 😭
Leg surgery in the institute to save Melanie of a potential slaughter infected bullet was not on my bingo card
Martin talking to the tape recorders like they are pets 😭
LMAO the shade towards the archive having archivists with no knowledge how to archive. Though it is by now clear Gertrude disorganized on purpose.
Whatever Lukas told Martin must have been heavy to convince him isolating himself would be for the best
Also of course Elias wanted a ritual and the lonely said something about “FIRST” Lukas doesn’t seem to be referring to the Lonely ritual but more like winning against someone on this race. And I don’t know does it mean because Lukas thinks Elias was wrong he then is trying to make the lonely one happen quickly to beat someone else?
This thing about Lukas not being good with technology will be important later I think
WHAT IS HAPPENING
Lol the recorder did just appear put of nowhere 😂
They never found Daisy’s body… is that perchance the way Elias thinks he can help defend the institute?
“statement extracted from subject” ☠️
Is very interesting how this statement went through hundreds of years. And of course it did the had much detail because it most feel like that to someone who has lived that long.
Remember when in episode 1 John said he couldn’t stand Martin and he should be fired 😭 and now he is like “I miss you”
The thing about anchors is they seem to be tied to something sentimental. That italy episode the girl thought of her mother. The knife belonging to the grandfather. I am not saying it needs to be a romantic thing just saying it needs to matter. So what is John going to use?
The thing about the buried ritual sounds like the episode with the pit… is that the same?
John entering his pining emo era
I keep wondering how far had Gertrude gone into not being “human” or letting the beholding in… or was Gertrude like Bezira, someone that was able to stop all this because she was very resourceful and cold? Like this woman has stopped what…. 4 apocalypses? The buried, the spiral, flesh, also desolation???
Has John not noticed every time he tries to go at it alone it doesn’t go well? But this does show how different he is from Gertrude. Gertrude even sacrificed his own assistants. I am not sure John likes Daisy that much and he here he goes on his way of doing something incredibly stupid
Also don’t trust the web
The sound effects are so disturbing. Which I know is the point.
“the only way was to betray my trust and destroy any other sense of safety” ☠️
It was so hard to understand this episode because I am an ESL
Is all weird how now they are not friends with the spiral but less antagonistic? Lol 😂 apparently allies?
There was this mention that both Melanie and Martin fled. Melanie came back with the knife. Is this where Martin made the deal with the devil?
The static noise increased… and then John said “no need for that I am willing”
OBVIOUSLY SHE IS NOT OK JOHN FOR FUCKS SAKE
“Is this like all your other plans” ☠️☠️☠️☠️
Is very sort of precious when John asks for consent to use his powers
Another thing that will need some explaining is… once they started at the archives they couldn’t be fired or like leave for extended periods of time. But Melanie was being claimed by the slaughter and Daisy by the hunt. But they are connected to the beholding. So how does having connections with more than one work?
Specially both were claimed before getting to the institute but Martin started his connection to the lonely after
I need the archivist team to start bonding on therapy sessions not under traumatic circumstances 😂
But maybe John doing this will win some trust back from Bazira and Melanie
The tape recorders seem to have helped bring John back. Maybe the rib was not necessary 😂 at this stage the recorders are more meaningful to him than a rib so it makes sense
“police brutality lawsuit?” The way I laughed 🤣☠️ as someone who lives in the US I lived for that comment. John should be allowed to be funny more often
It is low key hilarious that the hunt loves the chase so much it won’t let it’s own ritual end
I love when John brings real history into the episodes
I will give Bazira a point. John was not there when they were attacked by the flesh. And now she is in charge of protecting everyone from another possible siege
“The future without us” new fear has entered the chat. I find this interesting because “the end” is almost like God like ending. Like God will end our world. And this is described as someone else will come to replace us. Less godlike I guess. Interesting critique of the hubris of humanity actually.
I said on my notes earlier that was not sure what people meant when they said John was a better archivist. Gertrude did have powers like this stament says but unclear then why John is allegedly better. Specially given Adelar just said she was gifted at the dream thing.
I love how Lukas has this static surrounding everytime he speaks. Is that because Martin is not fully allowing him in? Because the static happens with John when he resists his powers
GERTRUDE ALSO FREAKING STOPPED THE LONELY LOL That woman kept herself busy.
Also I WAS RIGHT MARTIN SOLD HIS SOUL FOR HELP
This is not a contradiction more like different information between two people
Basira said that she thought the Beholding was the only one that had not attempted the ritual and that is why the are being attacked.
Lukas said the web and then end, but didn’t mention the beholding
My guess is the discrepancy will become important later.
If the web doesn’t care about her ritual maybe that is why she wanted to help John wake up. But I don’t trust spiders
“Bullheaded archivist hell bent on self destruction” ☠️☠️☠️☠️
“Thankfully I did not agree to protect your friends from their own idiocy” ☠️☠️☠️☠️
OMG LUKAS HAS ME CACKLING “grubby jesus” “pet murderer” “this little soap opera you call an archive” ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
OMG MARTIN IS THE ONE WHO PILED THE TAPE RECORDERS I AM GOING TO CRY
FINALLY MANUELA’S SIDE OF THE WHOLE DAEDALUS
Reyna and Elias were FRIENDS WTF
This is a delightful way of merging the fear of dark with the way dark matter works scientifically. Like it did create a super philosophically interesting episode
Like again why should we trust Lucas when he was helping the dark before? So financed the darks attempts, finance the institute. A lot of cooperation from the lonely
I mean yes John was not great during the unknowing. Still why does the archivist have to do this and not Elias. Why didn’t Elias become the archivist then if he is so good at the beholding thing
Also why does Elias insists on Basira being a detective? Nothing Elias does seems to be random. Also I know he is so evil but still find his voice so sexy 😂
OMG the layers on this episode. Trying to put my thoughts in order.
Ohhh Anabelle Caine I had to go through my notes but she is the girl from the crazy psych experiment. Shivers spiders
Are John and Daisy becoming friends? 🥹
Looool calling him out and telling him to get over himself.
He really needed that though. Someone to show him some friendship. He used to he so insufferable at the beginning of the series and I have such a soft spot for him now
OMG Melanie she is so traumatized but the exchange with the therapist was funny.
“So tell me Melanie, what brings this irrational fear or recorders”
Something I just noticed… Gertrude never calla herself the archivist or head archivist. WHYYYY and yes took me too long to realize this. This woman puzzles me so much.
The 13 entities fighting each other to fonosh the ritual and destroying each other’s chances like petty siblings. Though the eye has stopped at least 4-5 of them. So is the eye just better at stopping them because it “can see”
The only other mention of someone else stopping one is the slaughter stopping the stranger.
Let’s go through the list and who has attempted a ritual based on what WE HAVE HEARD AS RECORD ON THE ARCHIVES
  1. The Beholding ❌
  2. The Desolation ✅ (Gertrude stopped)
  3. The Lonely ✅ (Gertrude stopped, also is the lonely ritual the one in the spaceship?)
  4. The Dark ✅ (or at least so far keeps trying)
  5. The Buried ✅ (Gertrude stopped)
  6. The Stranger ✅ (Team Archives stopped)
  7. The hunt ✅
  8. The end ❌
  9. The web❌
  10. The vast (I don’t remember this ritual mentioned yet) ❌
  11. The flesh ✅ (Gertrude stopped)
  12. The spiral ✅ (Gertrude stopped)
  13. The corruption (still unclear to me if what happened at the institute in S1 was the attempt at a ritual or we just know it has been attempted per Lucas’ comment)
  14. Extinction ⁉️
This bit of info about Gerry’s father is weird. I may have missed some info but ok so connection to the eye… maybe worked for the institute? How did he ended up partnering with with crazy Mary. Mary did say her mother worked for the institute though
This interaction was so interesting for many reasons.
  1. Elias is such a punchable asshole
  2. Elias speaking of the apocalypse like if it were an ex
  3. Seems like there is some sort of consent? That is expected when joining an entity. He said he cannot play mind games just hope Martin makes the right decision
  4. That also tells me that even though he says Lukas is saying the truth he doesn’t agree with how he wants to stop it
  5. Interesting that someone like the beholding took so long to accept extinction exists as their currency is knowledge
  6. Martin is trying to protect John and is being such an idiot about it but omg my queer heart
  7. Elias did give Lukas control of the institute, seems like they sort of respect each other. They certainly have an interesting dynamic and for sure there has to be more history behind them
Reyna has been alive for a long time… no reason why Magnus wouldn’t be right?
The institute built over the prison in an attempt to control the powers? Maybe that is what Lukas wants to do
There is a fanfic here about John listening to tapes made by Martin pouring his heart out to him
Sure let’s just DIY a prophet… like lmao
OK the hilltop road story now makes more sense. Seems partly Gertrude is to blame for binding Agnes to the tree if I understood correctly.
Their description of the hell that is raising a child is so accurate 😂
But also this side of the story is missing the tree being torn and how that affected all. But also what did Gertrude do besides the tree.
Also some mention about Gertrude having some protection?
You cannot convince me the answer is something about the feelings outside of fear. More than once empathy, or love or love coded anchors have saved the day.
“Every other avatar gets their feelings burned out of them but I need to sit in mine” talking about Martin AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 😍😍😍
I loooooove when they include the history bits. This episode leaves me with more questions than answers though
Also the shade towards Newton ☠️
I really love John’s character development. In many ways he is a softer better person. But I love they are not shying away about how these powers corrupt or hurt others
Must be so frustrating to Martin that he sacrificed so much for John to make stupid decisions he cannot protect him from 😂
Something still missing here because, when they tried the ritual it was not the right eclipse according to Basira. In a past recording Gertrude said something about being more proactive. Did that meant maybe giving them bad intel about the eclipse and do something that triggered even if she was death? But I mean they had a literal astrophysicist in their team it doesn’t make sense they got the date wrong.
So the way John sees Helen has been interesting to me for sometime. He didn’t know her, it was just a woman that came to give a statement.
But I think in some way John took it personally that Michael took her from the Institute. Like an affront. Because he was always so angry when Michal said anything about her or after she became the spiral.
I also love how the spiral is chaotic af and was like maybe Michael was TOO CHAOTIC 😂 so now Helen is like a coworker? I mean I guess if the spiral cannot retry their ritual in many hundreds of years, it is in their best interest to stop the other entities from winning?
“leave me alone for good” the lonely is getting to him 😭😭😭 Martin
But Martin is choosing the lonely to protect others out of love because he has the biggest heart
BUT I DON’T WANT THE LONELY TO TAKE MARTIN. MARTIN ❤️ JOHN FOREVER
Gertrude is such a terrible person lol I am starting to feel Elias was justified
I know on the end of season 3 they were saying John was disappointing and Elias said so to. But John has been at this for barely 3 years I mean Gertrude must have been also maybe a little bit (not as much) of a mess at the beginning?
This is how you can tell I write and pause and write again 😂 Gertrude is 100% jaded
There is no way you can convince me to stop thinking that the web is like the most villanous of all
If does seems that John has only fed like that at his weakest.
Going to hilltop road is an incredibly stupid idea. I should go to sleep. Ir I end up doing one more I will keep continuing lol and I have to teach tomorrow
SHE SAID TO KEEP THINGS “ON TRACK” THE WEB HAS A MASTER PLAN THAT HAS NOT BEEN REVEALED. If they are trying to stop extinction this season does this make the web the big villain of the series?
Also Anabelle was a sociopath way before the web got to her. the worst villians are the parents that hate their children
“I don’t want to stop” did that she say addiction is one of the strongest forms of control?
Bazira kicking and punching Elias was so satisfying 😂
Daisy is still human though
“Talk to him” I am 100% sure wanted to cry because that felt like a knife to the heart
I feel a little called out 😂 I was like yeah yeah spooky statement BUT WHAT ABOUT METAPLOT AND THE NEXT EPISODE
Wait wait… are the medical students from season one related to the extinction?
John talked a lot about Martin to Melanie 🥹
If you know it is a risk everyone can have WHY DONT YOU GO AND KISS MARTIN YOU IDIOT
Something my brain just realized… some episodes ago Elias said Gertrude was very good at obfuscating things (or was it Lukas) not the spiral is confusion but without rhyme or reason. Obfuscation is purposeful, she even bought different types of labeling systems to make the archives disorganized. Leitner said that Elias killed her because she wanted to destroy the archives. But Arthur talked about her as if she really was super into the beholding. WHAT IF SHE CHANGED SIDES TO THE WEB AND THAT IS WHY ELIAS KILLED HER. That is why she was making a mess of things etc
Also I feel everyone is being so unfair to John (how I have come around)
Simon Fairchild! The awful dude of the vast
“I lost a bet” 😂☠️
I really like this guys voice and how he is characterizing Fairchild.
“Apocalyptic midwifery” 😂☠️
Ngl Fairchild makes some solid points
LMAO 🤣 Martin being like ARE YOU TELLING NONE OF YOU KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING 😂 “grand cosmic joke” indeed
“John found the tapes you made for him” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 and he is just waiting for Martin to come to him! 😭😭😭😭😭
The entities feed on fear but also interesting how their servants/cultists are not afraid of that fear. They even sound loving of the harm they cause
Ok John just said exactly what I wrote above lol
John still sounds rational and like himself-ish. But one can say the same about Lukas, Fairchild or Elias. even Helen feels humanish (though less each time)
This convo with Helen got so philosophical lol
So before this podcast i never saw myself as a horror girly. I think is because I had just been exposed only to jump scare horror. But I have always been fascinated by cults. So I love how this is intersecting here
Yep I mean we all knew Julia and crazy vampire hunter would comeback eventually. If only the eye had warned John a little sooner
Daisy 😭😭 I don’t want to lose Daisy to the hunt.
John has become so caring to everyone his little monster heart has grown so much
I love the critique of the police and how they protect the bad ones
Ohhhh such an interesting twist. The eye trying hard to keep John away from some tapes. And John having strength to defy that
Now that I think about it what did John study at university?
We know the taperecorders are not neutral. Like if the archives really didn’t want this knowledge to be known eventually then why they didn’t stop recording? Because the eye couldn’t help itself on having such a good meal?
“Fuck” is the only way to react to the information about blinding yourself.
A way for “us to leave” “you and me… escape” 😭😭😭 this is the closest thing to confession of his love to Martin on tape.
I AM NOT OK! I AM NOT OK AFTER THIS EPISODE
If this is the rest of the season I won’t be able to take meaningful notes
Very hypocritical of Bazira to let Daisy hunt to keep her alive but being super angry at John for feeding
I knew where this was going but hope it wasn’t. As a mom this episode will haunt me
Good for you Melanie! I am guessing Georgie will take care of her
“I think I still care that he hears my voice” 😭😭 why is that breaking me
Has Martin really gone on the deep end or he is playing Lukas
I AM NOT DOING OK I am glad my teaching duties are over for the semester to have the time to binge finish this
A fucking pandemic? I just looked at the release date “October 10, 2019” ☠️☠️☠️☠️ no comments
“And no eyes may see you slumber”
I cannot believe I am saying this but he needs to go find Elias
How is Lukas saying stuff like “very good” to Martin sound so web like
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
“Watching over my institute” HOLY SHIT ELIAS IS MAGNUS
Gertrude chose to stay human that explains a lot actually
OMG OMG He cannot let John die Martin wont
Daisy 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Bazira and Daisy love each other so much
“John came back so suddenly I had a reason” 🥹🥹🥹🥹
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS HAPPENING
John opening himself to follow the lonely is playing directly into what Elias wants
This cliffhanger should be illegal
“Tell me your story Peter Lukas” OH MY FUCKING GOD
A FUCKING BET A MOTHERFUCKING BET
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH 🥹🥹🥹😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
OMG The banter between Martin and John ❤️❤️❤️
He sounds so fucking healthy and happy when starting to read the statement. With a smile on his face
I AM NOT OK! I AM NOT OK!

2024.05.03 01:12 milancosens An honest and robust review from an EO1/2 and Everblue veteran... 🫡🐬📝

Let me start off by saying I am still super happy that this title was able to be greenlit, let alone produced.
Welcome to my review of EO:Luminous - a drop in the ocean of what COULD have been a successful sequel for die hard fans and new fans to the series alike...
This review will have comparisons to EO1/2, as a longtime veteran of the series, and because a game carrying the 'Endless Ocean' title is in all intense and purposes a sequel.
Firstly, I am blown away by the level of immersion that the game has been able to create for myself, despite having considerably less features and stripped back mechanics from the first 2 titles.
In minutes I have been through the story chapters (more on that later) and got to chapter 2.2 already, and from what the story has and hasn't shown me yet, I am most definitely intrigued as to what Arika have baked in here for the story aspect...
Now, onto the review...! Scored out of 5, 5 being the best, and some written comments alongside 📝🌊✨️
Story (2/5)
Gameplay/Format (3/5)
Its procedurally generated, the whole map - and this has some great bits but quite big shortfalls...
2 times now I've got stuck in cave formations as there is only one route out, and the route to follow through the cave is significant enough to lose the entrance (You could use markers to combat this, but requires hindsight and so it is still a sad downpoint...)
Another time I've been caught between the map barrier and a cliffside, resulting in an annoying combination of the barrier symbol and getting stuck in an invisible current (hopefully this can be patched)
Some of the formations and things you end up swimming into are around do not feel natural, and it is clear to see a computer has made errors in some cases.
It takes FOREVER to clear a map to 80%, and to do so you have to let go of just being free and in the moment, I found myself glued to the radar at the top to clear the whole map and get the dive code, as it only clears one x one sqm square and if you change direction at all, the map doesn't clear and you go back on yourself or towards another route.
Aside from that though, that is about it for gameplay!
Graphics/Audio/Immersion (4/5)
Overall, I believe this game shouldn't have been a direct sequel to EO 2, it should have instead been a spin off game with a different name.
I give Luminous a 3/5 overall. In Multiplayer its good fun. In Solo its good fun, but with a lack of things to do in comparison to EO1/EO2.
Most players will be done with the core of this game within around a weeks gameplay, and that's if you choose to complete all mysteries - if not, it won't keep your gaze for long.
The soul and 'adventure' aspect have been taken out of the game, and because of this I can't recommend this to a purely Solo player unless you really like scanning fish.
Multiplayer, there is definitely more replayability - and its great to have a portable EO in my hands that I can play anywhere, with up to 30 people.
I've attached a dive code to an interesting map of mine, and hope to see some of you in the ocean!
Dive Site ID - 0081 0439 3774 4795
To the fans that are with me on everything removed from the first games, it's not all bad... I guess! 😭🐬📝

2024.05.03 00:58 RetroBeetle Answering YOUR Questions About CassidyVictim! (2024 Edition)

Answering YOUR Questions About CassidyVictim! (2024 Edition)

https://preview.redd.it/arb7rcj7d3yc1.png?width=1600&format=png&auto=webp&s=c9fe801ac08e71dd387aad45a0cd48f0adf016b8
CassidyVictim: The theory that states that the Crying Child/Bite Victim from FNaF 4 is the true identity of Cassidy, the spirit who became Golden Freddy.
CassidyVictim is a theory which I have been pursuing for nearly 2 years, and it's one that I believe holds the key to solving the Cawthon Era story of FNaF once and for all. It changes a lot about what we think we know about the games, but when all is said and done, it provides a clean, satisfying narrative that can be followed across the games from FNaF 1 to Ultimate Custom Night.
Of course, as with any theory, not everyone sees it that way. There have been a lot of points brought up against CassidyVictim over the past couple of years, and though I believe there to be solutions for each point, it can be hard to convey all of it at once. Explanations for events in FNaF aren't the kind of thing you can summarize in one or two paragraphs of a comment.
That's why, one week ago, I asked you to send me your questions about CassidyVictim. You guys asked, now it's time for me to answer. There were a lot of questions this time compared to last time (thank you very much for that!), so I'll be running through each question one-at-a-time to cover everything you brought up. Without further ado...

u/71450: "If MikePurg is true, and TMIR1280 is showing how UCN rather than the characters in UCN, then whats the point of making "the man" William? Is it just to confuse us?"

https://preview.redd.it/e48q3kr9d3yc1.jpg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8c630a7feeaf38d923ddf5139a5bfbbb8e2ec0a9
"The Man in Room 1280" serves two purposes: 1.) To explain the logistics of how Ultimate Custom Night is possible, and 2.) To add an additional layer to the Stitchwraith story.
On the one hand, Scott needed the story to provide an answer for people who were confused about Ultimate Custom Night being a purgatory or personal hell or what have you; to that end, "The Man" depicts a person who has a spirit latched onto their brain, creating a nightmare that they can't wake from.
On the other hand, Scott needed the story to contribute to the Stitchwraith storyline that had been present throughout the books' epilogues and certain other stories; to that end, "The Man" depicts William Afton as a character within the Stitchline, leading to his and Andrew's eventual inclusion in the Stitchwraith itself. Rather than creating a brand-new murderer who would end up just getting killed off shortly thereafter, Scott used William and used him as a bridge from the earlier part of the Stitchwraith's journey to the later, Eleanor-centric part of the story.
It's the same sort of thing as "Coming Home"; the "Susie" from "Coming Home" is decidedly different than the "Susie" in the games, but she serves to explain to us how spirits possessing animatronics can interact with the real world.

u/zain_ahmed002 and u/71450: "How'd you explain FNAF World?"/"What are the clocks, and what does yellow eyes mean by 'the pieces are in place for you, all you need to do is find them'?"

https://preview.redd.it/vxhqp2rbd3yc1.png?width=1264&format=png&auto=webp&s=4e8a9dd6eb450d67ddcd6b9becd99213e386a7d3
FNaF World is the setup for "Happiest Day".
Judging by the yellow-eyed character's shared quotes with the Fredbear voice from FNaF 4, it seems safe to say that the owner of the yellow eyes is the person speaking through the Fredbear plush, which should mean that Charlotte is the one behind the eyes — an explanation for CharlottePlush can be found here: (Link) With that in mind, Charlotte is the one guiding the player through FNaF World and encouraging them to find the clocks that set up the "Happiest Day" minigame. But to what end?
The answer lies in Old Man Consequences's lake. In Ultimate Custom Night, reaching the lake triggers the same flag that unlocks the Old Man Consequences trophy in FNaF World, indicating that what happens at the lake in one game also happens in the other game. In FNaF World, when the player drowns themselves in the lake, they're taken to a screen that the game's files refer to as Happiest Day. From this, we can infer that the real "Happiest Day" sequence doesn't occur until Ultimate Custom Night, at which point Cassidy enters the lake and the nightmare ends.
To that end, FNaF World takes place at the same time as Ultimate Custom Night. The Easter eggs of Bouncepot, Tangle, and White Rabbit on the desk are there to show us that FNaF World is happening very close by. The whole thing is an attempt by Charlotte to get Cassidy to stop tormenting Michael. She does that the same way Jake does with Andrew, Eleanor, and others across the Stitchwraith story; finding happy memories and bringing them to light. The clocks lead to the resurfacing of Cassidy's memories, which are then explored and mended through the FNaF 3 minigames.
Who exactly the player controls in FNaF World isn't clear, but it doesn't seem to be too terribly important (my best guess is that it's Gabriel's spirit, since we do control Freddy in the overworld). What is important is that the yellow eye cutscenes are Charlotte talking directly to Cassidy. She's trying to help him to reconnect with his happier side, which was lost to years of isolation and Cassidy sort of stewing in his own anger. When she tells him that "the pieces are in place for [him]", she's prompting him to relive the better parts of his past and forgive his brother. It's only when he does that that the both of them can finally move on.

u/Ok-Peak5862: "If cassidy is an afton, then who was the 5th victim in the MCI?"

https://preview.redd.it/v47z5c3fd3yc1.png?width=339&format=png&auto=webp&s=4a8c4fa5f4d5d39bd34855468f19db93a7943999
There are two possible answers for this one. I'm more inclined to believe Option 1 or Option 2, but the movie has led me to consider Option 3.
Option 1: Cassidy Afton is still believed to be the fifth victim. It's likely that his death was covered up (possibly as "an unfortunate incident. . . involving multiple and simultaneous spring lock failures"?), so him suddenly not being around could mean that people thought he was kidnapped and his disappearance was linked to the other children's disappearances; alternatively, a projection of his spirit could have been picked up by the security cameras at Freddy's, and employees/detectives looking over the footage assumed he was another child who had been lured away to the back rooms by William.
Option 2: The One RetconTM was the alteration of the Missing Children's Incident to no longer include Golden Freddy. Scott changed Golden Freddy from one of the Missing Children to the FNaF 4 Crying Child, which we figured was the case at the time anyway (hence "integrated pretty seamlessly"). Either the Missing Children's Incident now consists only of four children (Gabriel, Jeremy, Susie, and Fritz), or Charlotte was retroactively made into one of the five children linked to the incident. Which one is more likely has yet to be determined.
Option 3: The fifth victim is Mr. Cupcake. In the movie, we see Mr. Cupcake acting of his own volition, separately from Chica. I intend to compose a full theory exploring the possibility that Mr. Cupcake is the fifth victim in the movie's timeline (while Golden Freddy is someone different), but in the meantime, it may be that this is the explanation for the games' victims, as well; perhaps the fifth victim (Andrew, maybe?) went on to possess Mr. Cupcake after their body was hidden inside the same Chica suit as Susie?

u/Rocket_SixtyNine: "Why isn't he in the movie."

https://preview.redd.it/zllsf23se3yc1.png?width=872&format=png&auto=webp&s=c7b30798e1fa6dd43e33cece460b3845cf703643
The Five Nights at Freddy's Movie changes a lot of the story from the games. Vanessa is now an Afton, Michael is no longer an Afton, and William is killed outside the safe room by Mr. Cupcake. To that end, Cassidy simply doesn't exist in the movie's timeline.
That being said, the same concept still appears in the movie. As I explained above, there's a chance that the fifth victim in the movie went on to possess Mr. Cupcake. My guess is that the child with the white top hat is meant to be that fifth victim, while Grant Feely's blond character is Freddy instead of Golden Freddy. If that's the case, then Golden Freddy is none other than Garret Schmidt, Mike's brother. He's still incorporeal, as evidenced by him vanishing before Abby re-enters the restaurant; that lines up with CassidyVictim's assertion that the Crying Child could be Golden Freddy due to Golden Freddy's lack of physical form.
(Before anyone points out that Golden Freddy appears to have weight when he sits down in the taxi, remember that "Coming Home" shows us that a spirit can still interact with the real world. This is no different.)

u/Random_RHINO2006: "Why is Cassidy apparently talking to themself in the logbook?"

https://preview.redd.it/hw83xbfve3yc1.jpg?width=1616&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0747b661c96a05eda7db1cb453f6b2d730227243
Cassidy is the name of the altered-text spirit, not the faded-text spirit.
In what's currently my most well-liked theory (Link), I highlighted the fact that the name "Cassidy" is found in the logbook's word search, which is made up of printed letters that Altered has moved around (see also "Who are you", "What is your name"). This seems to indicate that Cassidy is actually Altered's name, not Faded's name. It's one of the biggest points CassidyVictim has going for it right now.
Meanwhile, Faded's name is hidden inside the Foxy Grid; we know this must be the case because of the three faded letters written in the corner of the Foxy Grid, which use the exact same font/typeface as Faded's messages. At the moment, I believe the most compelling argument for who Faded is to be that it's Springtrap trying to figure out who Golden Freddy is. That explains why Faded seems to already know so much about the Crying Child's life.
Even so, I may need to reread the logbook and compile new evidence, because it looks like newer prints of the book changed some of the hints (check for yourself; I couldn't find a single page with an incorrect page number in my more recent copy).

u/No-Efficiency8937: "Who does BV possess/what happens to him?"/"What about fnaf world. . . how would he appear in the logbook. . . years later?"/"Cassidy gender,"/"how would cassidy Aka BV possess golden Freddy?"

https://preview.redd.it/vt6z0xoxe3yc1.png?width=1600&format=png&auto=webp&s=bdeca28996f033f85ce45a9c254a227f82412f58
  1. The Bite Victim/the Crying Child/Cassidy Afton dies in the hospital and becomes Golden Freddy due to not being nearby to any object he could easily possess; he's an incorporeal spirit that can change its appearance at will and move through walls. He stalks Michael over the course of the Scott Cawthon Era of FNaF, finally catching him at the end of Pizzeria Simulator and creating Ultimate Custom Night. He moves on when he's given his Happiest Day and he forgives his brother.
  2. FNaF World doesn't take place until Ultimate Custom Night (see above). It does not take place at the same time as FNaF 3, like many believe.
  3. The Princess from Princess Quest is not Cassidy. She may share the name "Cassidy", but that's no different than multiple characters having the name "Michael" or "Susie" or "Jeremy".
  4. See above. Since there was nothing in the hospital for Cassidy to possess (for the purposes of enacting revenge on Michael), he became a ghost and hung around the restaurants for decades, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.

u/Content_Cup4400 and u/Rocket_SixtyNine: "What do you think about Stitchlinegames"/"how dose Tales+Sitchline games effect cassidyvictim?"

https://preview.redd.it/w7t2qsk0f3yc1.png?width=1175&format=png&auto=webp&s=0ddea948fa6bf83acc3b4c9445e18551a3f09853
I do not believe StitchlineGames to be accurate, but TalesGames could work.
There is too much different between the Stitchwraith timeline ("Stitchline") and the games' timeline for me to accept them as taking place within the same continuity. For one example, in the Stitchline, Circus Baby's Pizza World opened and remained open, whereas in the games, it never got past its initial test-run. For another example, William Afton is still alive in the Stitchline, but he's been dead in the games ever since the spring lock incident. If the Stitchwraith story were directly confirmed as taking place within the same continuity as the games (which I personally find to be highly unlikely), I fear it would appear to contradict CassidyVictim initially, but I don't think it would necessarily mean the end of CassidyVictim; rather, it would mean that I need to do more research to determine how exactly Andrew and Cassidy can exist in the same continuity at the same time.
Tales from the Pizzaplex, however, doesn't contradict the events of the Steel Wool Era of FNaF. I wouldn't go so far as to say that Tales tells us the origin of Glitchtrap and Burntrap; the circumstances surrounding them are very different from each other, as I've gone into detail about before (Link). However, I see no problem with Tales being an origin story for the Mimic. It's like if we had gotten a series of books focused on Circus Baby right before Sister Location released, in that it's not showing us any vital information about the primary antagonist but instead fleshing out the story of a secondary antagonist. It doesn't have any negative impact on CassidyVictim.

u/250extreme: "What do you think Cassidy's relationship with and thoughts on William are throughout the entire series and how do they change if at all?"

https://preview.redd.it/6u9c2xt2f3yc1.png?width=1600&format=png&auto=webp&s=04102a22680efd83fe5913862d417197f66e59c5
Cassidy didn't know about his father's murders until right at the end.
Of course, William has been shown to be a horrible parent in more ways than one (Midnight Motorist shows us he's an alcoholic, FNaF 4 and The Fourth Closet show us he's neglectful, Midnight Motorist and The Fourth Closet imply he's physically abusive, etc.), so we know his relationship with Cassidy wasn't a good one to begin with. However, Cassidy never knew how far it went; he never recognized William inside the Spring Bonnie suit, so even if he did happen to witness the Missing Children's Incident or the "S-A-V-E-T-H-E-M" murders, he wouldn't have known that it was his own father killing the kids. Evidence for this is shown to us in the logbook, where Cassidy has to ask William his name and believes him when he calls himself Springtrap (see above).
The only point at which that would have changed is after Ultimate Custom Night. Having access to all of Michael's memories (things like the Nightmares or Ennard) means that Cassidy would find out the truth behind Spring Bonnie through Michael's knowledge of the events. At that point, the implication seems to be that Cassidy wanted to punish William the same way he had been tormenting Michael; however, he was stopped by Old Man Consequences and guided to "Happiest Day" instead. For the purposes of this minigame, I'd wager Old Man Consequences is meant to represent Henry, but that's a theory for another day.

u/minion133: "Might sound rude but it is genuine: why do you believe it's correct? Also, what is the logbook about under this theory?"

https://preview.redd.it/0zqjlil7f3yc1.jpg?width=438&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d64ffb21a14d18593d1da0275c6243f0702815a8
My response to your second question answers your first question: The logbook is the reveal that the Crying Child's name is Cassidy.
As explained and linked above, the name "Cassidy" is found in the word search with a bunch of altered text, rather than in the Foxy Grid with a set of faded text. Given that Altered appears to be the Crying Child — he says "the party" was for him and is specifically asked whether the Fredbear plush still talks to him — that should mean that "Cassidy" is the name meant to be associated with Altered, not Faded. The book shows us an interaction between Cassidy and (presumably) his father, as each attempts to figure out who the other is.
That's one of the biggest points of evidence for CassidyVictim, but the truth is that there's a lot of evidence that led me to accepting it as what I believe is the canon answer to the series. An early theory of mine was focused on "Blackbird" and how it seemed to present the idea that the bully was tormented by someone he had hurt before; a more recent theory of mine delved into Ultimate Custom Night and compiled all the evidence for Michael and William each being the player (spoiler alert: Michael had the most by a long shot); and, the whole time, the fact that the Crying Child had a story but no name, while Cassidy had a name but no story, was swirling around in my head. If you'd like a master list of all the points of evidence I've found and all of the theories I've crafted as a result, I've got one right here: (Link)
At this point, I've seen enough evidence for the theory that I don't think I'll be dropping it unless Scott himself shows us something that undeniably debunks it.

u/alpacameron: "what's the point of springtrap communicating with cassidy in the logbook, and why would he introduce himself as springtrap and not as his father?"

https://preview.redd.it/q57scylgf3yc1.jpg?width=825&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=03b09a033a282a1dbb8011510257c29955b2a0bf
Springtrap's goal is just to figure out who Golden Freddy is. We see him ask a few questions that don't necessarily have anything to do with Cassidy, like "WAS YOUR FAVORITE RIDE THE CAROUSEL?" He doesn't know whom he's speaking with, so he's asking questions to narrow it down.
Meanwhile, he doesn't want to give his identity away if there's a chance that the spirit he's talking to is someone who wants revenge against him. He identifies himself as Springtrap so he can avoid setting one of his victims off. (And since, y'know, he calls himself Springtrap in The Twisted Ones; evidently, he views that form as a stronger version of himself.)

u/InfalliblePizza: "What would the Cassidy movie have been about"

https://preview.redd.it/sz52oyrhf3yc1.png?width=736&format=png&auto=webp&s=5862b6e23151943ede31cace389b28cdb7eaada0
Like Scott said, the Cassidy screenplay probably would just have followed the story of Cassidy, from his death all the way up to his moving on from Golden Freddy and Michael. It would have shown us the events of the Fredbear Bite/Bite of '83, explained Cassidy's transformation into Golden Freddy, followed Michael as he attempted to make up for his mistake, pitted Golden Freddy against Michael, and resolved with "Happiest Day". As much as I'd have loved to see that movie, I can agree with Scott that what works in a series of games doesn't necessarily work in a singular movie or even series of movies; this movie would have been a lore dump and very little more, and Scott knew that.
(Interestingly, what Scott says about the screenplay actually serves to support CassidyVictim. He mentions that the movie would have been "spanning multiple time-periods, following multiple characters, and featuring lore from multiple games"; that doesn't sound like one of William Afton's victims, but it absolutely sounds like the Crying Child as Golden Freddy.)

u/Good-Engineer-9378 and u/stickninja1015: "What do you think about the trilogy of novels? and how do you explain why Cassidy is a woman here?"/"How do you explain Cassidy explicitly being a girl with black hair"

https://preview.redd.it/o66t457nf3yc1.png?width=1507&format=png&auto=webp&s=21aa591502abf90750246dae205c22ceb77709d0
The Cassidy from the novels is not the same person as the Cassidy from the games. As with the Princess from Princess Quest, it's another character who happens to share the name "Cassidy".
One huge indicator of this is the fact that Novel-Cassidy isn't Golden Freddy. Michael Brooks is repeatedly stated to be the Golden Freddy of the novels' timeline. Whom Cassidy possesses is never mentioned (though many speculate that it's Bonnie, since Jeremy isn't included in the novels' version of the Missing Children). If she really were the same Cassidy, I fail to see why 1.) she isn't still viewed as special among the others like Cassidy is in the games, 2.) she isn't still Golden Freddy, and 3.) the graphic novel depicts her with brown hair instead of the black hair described in the novel version (take note of Susie in the same graphic novel; she was important enough to retain her design elements from both her novel iteration and her game iteration).
I should probably take this moment to address the other half of the black-haired Cassidy theory: the picture of a girl in the logbook is just an illustration, nothing more. It was drawn by an artist working for Fazbear Entertainment, just like all the other drawings in the logbook; I sincerely doubt that said artist had any knowledge of the Missing Children or what they looked like, and they especially wouldn't have known about "Happiest Day" (which wouldn't have even happened yet, seeing as Michael was still around to write in the thing). People bring up the drawings of what looks like Fazbear's Fright, and that certainly sounds convincing, until you notice the drawings of smartphones, the Funtimes, and as recent of a magazine as "Screws, Bolts, and Hairpins"; the logbook was made fairly recently, likely as something to give workers at a Freddy's franchise location.

u/Oliver21417: "Why does Golden Freddy have a girl's laugh in FNAF 1?"

https://preview.redd.it/3a3w3tapf3yc1.png?width=1600&format=png&auto=webp&s=003629cad58c50a8d5268d248927c7281342a116
It's not necessarily a girl's laugh. A lot of young boys have voices that sound high-pitched enough that they can pass as girls, to the point that it's a common practice in voice acting to cast an adult woman as a young male character. It might sound like a girl, but that doesn't mean it has to be a girl. To add onto that, Cassidy is referred to as male in Ultimate Custom Night, and the picture used for his face is of a boy.
Also, don't forget that Golden Freddy's laugh is the same one that's used for Freddy, just slowed down in the latter case. We're fairly confident that the spirit within Freddy is male, so take that for what it's worth.

Conclusion

https://preview.redd.it/i11y75trf3yc1.jpg?width=380&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9af5ccb2ab19152d269cbe516117d050ab378e12
Thank you once again to everyone who submitted questions this time around! I hope I was able to answer your questions adequately and in a manner that made sense. If not, please leave a comment with any further inquiries and I'll try my best to address them.
Maybe I'll make this a yearly thing? I dunno, we'll see what the future holds for CassidyVictim.

Thanks for reading, and I'll see you next time. Please keep discussions civil in the comments.

2024.05.03 00:20 secretshadowpotato the SHADOW SAGA: gamer guild drama #tea

Hello Charlotte and friends, I have gathered you here today to recount a tale of drama. I am here to spill tea that is not mine to spill but it deserves to be spilled and I hope you all enjoy the twists.
Firstly, disclaimer that it has been well over a year since all this went down so my memory may not be the best. I am recounting to the best of my ability. Secondly, if you know the guild of which I speak... hi ! Sorry not sorry for spilling the tea. I don't know if all of this was ever disclosed to the guild members, since I haven't been in the guild for over a year; and I want to say that, for the most part, the guild is great. No hate here.
Let's start with a place. Elder Scrolls Online. I'm a gamer and had been playing ESO on and off for several years, but wanted to buckle down and really get into playing it so I decided to join a guild in the hopes it would help me find my focus and keep my playing. For the unacquainted, ESO is a multiplayer roleplay game in which you can join guilds of players, approximately 500 per guild. The guild I joined had 3 branches at the time, so about 1500 members, with a central guild leader and a team of "officers", which were essentially mods that helped the day-to-day running of the guild and its Discord server. Shortly after I joined the guild they announced that they were looking for new officers to join the team, and despite being inexperienced and anxious I decided to apply, thinking the worst they could say is no. Unexpectedly, I was selected! There were about... maybe 20 ? Prospective officers-in-training.
Before we continue let me breakdown the officer hierarchy. At the top were Raspberries (changing the name, obviously), this was the guild mistress (leader) and her second-in-commands, of which there were five or six. Next were the Blackberries, which were the senior officers. After them, the Salmonberries, which were the ordinary rank and file of the officers. Lastly, there were the Blueberries, which was what I was, just an officer-in-training. In total I think there were... 30-40 officers? Us new Blueberries included.
The Discord server had a secret section from which the officers operated. We were welcomed into it after being ranked up, given the rundown of our expectations and when training would begin. The officer in charge of our training was awesome, very kind, however the guild leader was revealed to be kind of a manipulative asshole. Mistakes, by both new and seasoned officers, were called out publicly by the leader in the officer area of the server. This happened frequently over the course of the several months I was in-training. When we were deemed not to be operating to the guild leader's (let's call them Germ) high standards we were ordered to rank our fellow officers by how we felt they pulled their weight. If we didn't do this in a timely manner we were criticized and called out, and once everyone had submitted their rankings (public to the rest of the officers) Germ would call out those that ranked lowest, who often ended up demoted to regular member status or removed from the guild entirely for their failings. Senior officers (the Blackberries) who spoke out against the tyrannical rulings and expectations of Germ were equally at risk of this, being demoted to Salmonberries until they could prove themselves again. Then, after berating and belittling the officers, Germ would go on long-winded lectures about her standards for the guild, how she just wanted us to be our best and succeed, how she only pushed us to create the best environment for effective leadership. Sometimes she would even ask us how we felt she was as a leader, if she was meeting our expectations as a leader... and anything but a glowing or sympathetic response would result in her blowing up on the officer who criticized her. Then, within a few days ? All of those messages would simply disappear from the officer channels.
In short, we officers were held to impossible standards and criticized for not meeting them amongst our fellow officers. However, to the general membership? Germ was a great and kind and generous leader. But that's not where our story ends. Something quickly to note, every week we have a meeting in an officer voice chat, which Germ would always oversee, however while we were expected to have a mic and be able to speak Germ never spoke through voice chat. Even when she attended guild events in voice chat she was silent. Tuck that away for later, it's important. ;)
Now, lets introduce another key player in this story. Jess was Germs golden child, a Raspberry officer that she doted on endlessly and could never do wrong. We lowly Blueberries and Salmonberries just assumed she was a favorite of the guild leader and kind of hated her for it; she never interacted with anyone much, so we just assumed she thought she was better than us due to the favoritism.
In time I was promoted from Blueberry to Salmonberry, then Salmonberry to Blackberry. In that time we saw the removal and leaving of many officers, whether due to pressure, real life responsibilities, or Germs officer rankings. With the rank of Blackberry I was provided access to the Dark Room, which was essentially a channel for Blackberries and Raspberries to discuss higher profile stuff without the input of Salmonberries.
Now, this is where my timeline gets a little messy, so I apologize. At some point Germ stepped away from leadership, naming Jess as the new guild leader, despite remaining within leadership. There was a rocky transition, with Germ frequently stepping in to comment on things in the Dark Room. Then, came the day I was asked to speak with Jess and another Raspberry privately. At the time I had been told I would be responsible for a weekly member spotlight, so I was expecting this to be the training / rundown of that. Oh how wrong I was. Instead, I sat in voice chat with Jess and the other officer for over two hours as Jess recounted to me the recent happenings of the Raspberries and Germ. Until now (as far as I know) this information has only been shared with the officer team, so if you think you know the guild of which I speak... I'm sorry.
Germ was a creep, lets just say that. Again, chronology of this might be a bit off, its been awhile since I heard this and I no longer have access to the proof that was provided. Essentially, Germ had been creeping on Jess since she joined the officers. This is the part I'm not at liberty to share, because I respect Jess's privacy, but lets just say Germ was a real creep and basically terrorized her. After revealing all this to some of the other Raspberries they helped Jess in an effort to remove Germ from the guild and end their abusive leadership. What came next was a series of deals that basically summed up to Germ would surrender leadership to Jess but maintain access to the officers and guild (this was when Germ stepped away), so long as Jess never blocked them and continue to talk to Germ. Now, though, Jess was doing the rounds to the Blackberry officers in an effort to close ranks in a final push to negotiate the removal of Germ from the guild for good. This is where it gets wild.
At some point, after Germ had dropped off the radar for awhile, Jess was contacted by someone claiming to be Germs friend. The friend said that Germ was sick / in a coma and had directed this friend, lets call them David, to check in with the guild and ensure everything was okay. David, of course, knew a lot about the guild and Jess specifically, including specific things about her and conversations she had had with Germ. Jess, of course, was suspicious of this, and after some sleuthing with the help of the other Raspberries... discovered that Germ was not, in fact, in a coma, and that David was very likely Germ. Meaning, Germ was a grown ass man, and had been lying to everyone and the guild.
After this the Dark Room was preparing for war, essentially. They were gonna wrest the guild from Germ / David no matter what it took. We all had our part to play, it was a very tense time. Thankfully, this all was resolved fairly peacefully. Some stuff happened, I just don't recall specifics. In time, Germ was removed from the guild and server. At some point the Salmonberries and Blueberries had been clued in, and we celebrated their removal, vowing to start a new chapter for the guild. As a note, none of this was ever shared with the general membership of the guild throughout the whole process, and in the aftermath we were encouraged to lie or direct any questions about Germ to the Raspberries.
Now, I wish that was the end of the story. There is more.
I was made a training officer, and in an effort to remove the gap between Salmonberries and the rest of the team myself and the other training officer essentially became HR, hearing their complaints and issues and ensuring their concerns were addressed and questions were answered. More than that, I prided myself on being the "deep diver", meaning whenever we needed information on a member for meditation or punishment I was the one that looked through the server as well as our guild site to create a timeline and gather information, which I then reported to the Dark Room. I genuinely loved what I was doing, and I loved helping our new officers. I was always quick to defend them in the Dark Room, and had a good relationship with them whereas most of the other officers did not. I also frequently played devils advocate, and gave voice to the perspectives I felt deserved representation. I wanted honesty, and I performed all my duties without bias; I prided myself on that. This was, however, something of a pain for the Raspberries I guess.
Some time after the end of the Germ issues I was called aside by Jess and another Raspberry, and basically dressed down. I don't remember much of the interaction because I was honestly in shock; I had never been spoken to about the issues they presented, this was the first time I heard of them. I felt betrayed, I was upset. I cared too much, apparently, and made people uncomfortable. That's what I remember of it. And I was told to step down, or be removed. So I stepped down. In the aftermath I noticed another officer, who had also been something of a free speaker amongst the officers, was removed at the same time I was.
Since I had dedicated myself to the guild for over a year at that point I suffered. I tried to remain involved but I also distanced myself. When I returned to the Raspberry that had spoken to my alongside Jess in an effort for answers, as I genuinely wanted to know what I had done wrong so I could work on myself (this was suggested by my therapist, since I beat myself up a lot afterwards), I was told she didn't know and couldn't tell me. This was the same officer who had dressed me down, and she could not tell me what the issues she had raised against me were. I smelled bullsh*t, and distanced myself even more. However, one day some time later I ventured back to the server to see what was going on... and noticed that an officer I had trained right before I had been demoted was no longer in the guild. I reached out to her, asked if she was okay, and she said that after some drama had come out she hadn't been comfortable staying. I asked her what the drama had been about, and she clued me in to a group of officers, Salmonberries and Blackberries, who had stepped down and left the guild awhile after I had been forced to resign.
The simple version is, the Raspberries elected to ban a couple regular members who were frequently discussed in the Dark Room. They were a nuisance to many Blackberries, but they had never done anything wrong or worthy of removal, as found in the many reports I had prepared on them. Yet, they were removed on the down low, but when some of the Salmonberries that were familiar with them asked about it Jess said it was a mistake. This caused a rift, and disgruntled by the lack of answers a majority of the Salmonberries stepped down or left the guild entirely, as well as a few Blackberries who felt uncomfortable about how the incident was handled by Jess and the Raspberries. This also caused an exodus of regular guild members who were close with the two members that been banned, as well as those close to the officers.
It was at this point, once again surrounded by my peers, that I finally felt safe to discuss my own removal from the guild. I honestly felt partially responsible, and after looking at the evidence that we had we decided as a group that it seemed the Dark Room had an agenda, wanting to make changes, and they removed the officers that they knew would speak out against those changes. Those changes were what caused the drama with the exodus of officers and members. For awhile we considered putting the leadership on blast, but after awhile we decided it wasn't worth it and moved on. The leadership apparently found out about our gathering, though, and warned the guild against "disgruntled ex-members and officers". It was kind of funny, honestly.
Oh, and at the time I met with this group I was still a member of the guild, and when I approached some of the Raspberries about what had happened to get answers... I was shadowbanned from the guild without a word.
That pretty much concludes the Shadow Saga. No resolution, I have no idea what has happened in the 1+ year since I was removed. But I thought I would share the cliffnotes. Feel free to ask questions, I will do my best to answer. And, if any of you know of the guild or are still a member / officer... hi ! Wishing you all the best, honestly. I loved the guild, it was a great place, and generally I hold no ill will towards the officers.
Also, an additional note I forgot to add: before I had joined the guild there had apparently been a "purge", in which some officers staged an insurrection of sorts against Germ and they ended up purging the officer team to "restart" the guild. So, as much as the Raspberries tried to lead the guild out of Germs shadow... they failed, and history repeats itself. I genuinely hope they have since been able to find a balance.
Anyway, hope you enjoyed the tea. I know this isn't the usual kind of drama / tea you have in your videos Charlotte, but I hope you enjoy this cup even if it isn't featured. <3

2024.05.03 00:12 gptgabe How to Beat Turn It In AI Detector

Read on our website here: https://www.stealthgpt.ai/blog/how-to-beat-turn-it-in-ai-detector
If you're in school or university, I beg that you may have heard and known about the existence of Turnitin's software. Generally, schools, colleges, and universities use it to look for evidence of plagiarism in students' writing, maintain academic integrity, and ensure that students are not copying the work of others. But recently, the software has been upgraded to include AI detectors, where these checks were used to determine the originality of content and identify any copied material in academic or professional writings or AI-generated.As technology advances and we can not deny the rise of AI writing tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, Google Gemini and Perplexity.ai,… definitely a game changer. Those tools empower students, writers, content creators, marketers, researchers, …to draft essays, reports, assignments, and outline ideas at lightning speed while still enhancing the quality and diversity of the content.However, in academic places and professional fields, the value of authenticity and originality is paramount, and maintaining the integrity, honesty and credibility of the published content are key factors. And this has caused concern among students, scholars, … about the challenges of bypassing the Turnitin AI detector as well as plagiarism checks. But luckily, from now on, you don’t have to worry about your articles, essays or other text forms being flagged as AI-generated anymore. In this article, we will show you exactly how to bypass Turnitin detection as well as list numerous methods that you can use to beat Turnitin AI detector while still maintaining academic integrity in your writing. So, let’s get started!

Understanding Turnitin AI Detection

Turnitin is a popular plagiarism detection software used by many educational institutions and students worldwide to check for plagiarism in their research papers, articles, essays, and assignments… The platform implemented its AI writing detection feature in April 2023 to catch students who attempt to cheat by using AI rewriting tools.Turnitin's AI detection feature works with AI detectors that look for Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithms. It tracks grammar, syntax, structure, the words you use, and even the nuanced subtleties of your arguments to detect paraphrased work and gives you the final result or similarity score. This score will tell you the level of similarity of your writing to someone else's existing work.Its AI detector is an advanced mechanism that is trained on a large database that can scan your submissions paper by comparing them to a continuously expanding database of scholarly papers, websites, publications, and existing sources. This means that even if a report has been rewritten by using an AI tool like Quillbot, Turnitin can still detect the similarities and flag it as potential plagiarism. Moreover, the indicator additionally connects to a report that emphasizes the text parts that were anticipated were composed by AI. However, just please remember that only the instructors and administrators are able to see the indicator of AI-generated.While Turnitin has confidence in its model, the website also confirmed that AI writing detection mode may not always be accurate (it may misidentify both human and AI-generated text), so it should not be used as the sole basis for adverse actions against a student or a definitive grading measure by instructors. Its capability is just to help educators identify whether the text might be prepared by a generative AI tool or not, as well as provide data for educators to make wise decisions based on their academic and institutional policies.As you can see, the AI writing indicator is on the right side of your panel. These sentences are highlighted in blue with a percentage between 0 and 100 on the submission text in the AI writing report. The displayed percentage indicates the amount of qualifying text within the submission that Turnitin’s AI writing detection model determines was generated by AI.Also, please note that Turnitin AI detection will only work for content submitted in English, and it will not work in any non-English submissions. As well as the percentage of Turnitin’s AI writing detection is different and independent from the similarity score, and the AI writing highlights aren't shown in the Similarity Report.

How Turnitin AI Detection Works

Before talking about all the possibilities of how to beat Turnitin AI Detector, we should understand how this tool works first. The scanning mechanism of Turnitin works similarly to other check tools on the market by using algorithms to identify patterns within the text that indicate potential plagiarism.When a user uploads a document, Turnitin will analyze all the elements in the article and look for any similarities with the documents available in the system. It will highlight duplicates and give an overall assessment of the originality of the article in percent. And one thing to take note and keep in mind too is that this program can also search for different types of matches defined by the settings that the professor uses.Turnitin also uses other techniques to identify AI content detection, such as text classification and machine learning. So when a paper is submitted to Turnitin, the submission is first broken into segments of text that are roughly a few hundred words (about five to ten sentences). Those segments are then overlapped with each other to capture each sentence in context.The segments are run against the AI detection model, and each sentence will have a score between 0 and 1 to determine whether it was written by a human or by AI. If the model determines that a sentence was not generated by AI, it will receive a score of 0. Conversely, If it determines the entirety of the sentence was generated by AI, it will receive a score of 1. By consuming the average scores of all the segments within the document, the model then generates an overall prediction of how much text in the submission has been generated by AI.Currently, Turnitin’s AI writing detection model is trained to detect content from the GPT-3 and GPT-3.5 language models, which includes ChatGPT. As for the writing characteristics of GPT-4 are consistent with earlier model versions, so the detector is also able to detect content from GPT-4 (ChatGPT Plus) as well.

How To Get Past Turnitin AI Detection

I know that there are a lot of users out here who want to find a way to bypass Turnitin AI Detection. Although these services were born to uphold academic honesty, they can sometimes flag innocent mistakes. And if you’re weary of Turnitin marking your essays and texts as AI-generated, there are a few straightforward methods you can employ to stop this issue from happening again, as well as to bypass Turnitin’s AI detector and avoid being flagged for plagiarism.

Use StealthGPT for AI Detection Removal

I have to admit that this is the best and the most time-saving method for you to humanize your AI-generated content and stay undetected by Turnitin and other AI detectors. Within a few clicks, you can have an article or essay that meets your desire and can bypass the Turnitin AI Detection.Now, let's move into how StealthGPT can help. To test this, I posed a prompt to ChatGPT: "An essay about the history of YouTube within 300 words."I copied the entire text and placed it in Stealth Bypass, and then I clicked on “Bypass AI-detection” and saw that the successful score on the right side got up to 90 percent.Then I click on the "Copy button" to duplicate the newly written content from StealthGPT, then paste it directly into the frame of the “Turnitin AI Detector” to see if the undetectable AI text can actually bypass AI detection. After the fast-checking speed of the “ Turnitin AI Detector” in seconds, the result showed that ZERO percent of AI had been detected. This means that Turnitin AI Detector couldn't detect and failed to know if the text was written by AI at all!And if you want to save your precious time and get that amazing results IMMEDIATELY, just try out the " Essential Package" to see if it's really worth your pennies. Because I do believe that nothing good in life is free! Moreover, you can also feel free to contact our support team regarding to any questions you might have or if there is anything that makes you unsatisfied.However, a key message I want to mention is that "it's also important to use the tool responsibly and wisely". The objective shouldn't be to mislead the software but also to ensure the content reflects your authentic human intelligence and creativity. So, just leverage it as an assisting tool to work more productively as well as enhance your ability to generate creative and original content.

Rewrite in Your Own Words

A small tip that has been used by many students recently is to express ideas according to their own understanding. This method not only helps you to refresh old ideas and develop your writing more quickly and more conveniently but is also an opportunity for you to increase your vocabulary and improve your language expression skills as well as logical thinking ability.Regarding how to do it, when you find a useful piece of content for your essay, you can re-express that piece of content according to the 3 easy step process below:

Understanding Assignment Requirements

Understanding the assignment brief is one of the most effective ways to make your text undetectable by Turnitin AI detector as well as ensure a successful submission. This gonna requires a thorough analysis and comprehension of what is being asked, including instructions, prompts, and guidelines. Before you begin, take your time to examine and read the given instructions carefully; after that, break down the task into smaller components to identify important parts such as topic areas, significant words or phrases used in prompts, and marking criteria. Analyzing any posed questions and understanding the importance of addressing the main goals of the assignment is key, as the lecturer often looks for specific things in your work.If any doubts arise, you can look for direct communication with your lecturer or supervisor to help minimize the errors as well as maximize your success rates. To excel and improve your academic writing, try to show enthusiasm about your assignment and that subject. Also, deep into the topic deeply, grasp every detail, and determine how to convey this understanding and interest in your writing. By expressing your own thoughts and ideas, I promise that you'll create content that not only passes AI detection but also stands out as unique.

Research and Paraphrasing

Conducting wide research and understanding the topic before putting down any ideas is the solid base for all original writing. It's not just about doing lots of research and sticking ideas together. It's about diving deep into different points of view, ideas, arguments, and theories from the research and your own understanding of the topic. This process will let you pull together these different viewpoints into a piece that's exciting and truly yours.
After the research part, you will need to rewrite, restructure, and paraphrase the content. This is the most important part, as it will be the main method of avoiding Turnitin’s AI detection as well as ensuring that the content remains original while avoiding any plagiarism issues.
To paraphrase effectively, you will need to comprehend the context of the content that you are going to ‘reword’ and present it by using your own writing style while still retaining its original meaning; you could also use synonym words to express the ideas and meaning of the sentence. However, you should also pay attention to whether the words with the same meaning as the original word can be used in that situation or not.
Paraphrasing isn't simply changing the words of someone else's ideas. It's not that straightforward. Instead, it's about truly understanding and internalizing the ideas and thoughts and then expressing them in your own unique style. But please ensure that all sources used in your writing must have credible references so readers can access them for further reading. Through these methods, your paper will have a higher ability to pass originality checks with little to no suspicion of AI detection, and it will also maintain insightful information about the overall content.

Manual Writing

The last method I want to mention is writing by hand; it’s also an option that not many people choose to do, and it is favorable nowadays. But the best way to bypass Turnitin AI detection or any AI detectors out there and not raise red flags or plagiarism is by using manual writing. It simply means no copy-pasting from external sources or relying on AI-written content and using simple language to express your ideas. It is a process that must ensure that your paper does not contain any phrases or sentences that match with any other published content available on the internet.Even though this method gonna take most of your time, handwriting will force you to think more about each sentence, word, and collocation to use. It’s easier for you to run on your flow and make sure each line is unique and different from anyone else. Your brain gonna work harder, but it's worth it. In a world where AI detection tools like Turnitin are upgraded and enhanced continuously, keeping it with old school with manual writing is the safest way to avoid any AI detection or plagiarism.Moreover, it also brings you a positive and proud feeling when you see your own product filled with your own handwriting, and your original content can bypass AI detection in a minute. However, please take note that to ensure that the manual writing process is successful, it is important to understand your assignment inside out, as this gonna guide you through the instructions and the approach to finish the article more easily and create amazing content that will be engaging and unique in every possible way.

Final Words

While tools like Turnitin AI Detector continue to upgrade by day to identify AI-generated content, the importance of academic integrity and producing unique, original content still remains paramount.As students, scholars, and professionals.., we should view AI tools as aids to our creativity and productivity, not replacements for our intellect and original thought. Whether you choose to leverage AI writing tools, paraphrase, manually write, or go with StealthGPT, remember that the main goal is to enrich your understanding and effectively communicate your ideas, and these methods should only be used for legitimate reasons to beat Turnitin’s AI detector and not to cheat or deceive. By following the strategies in this blog post, you can definitely maintain your academic integrity, creativity, and authenticity while still leveraging the advancement of AI tools.

Frequently Asked Questions About Turnitin AI Detection

#1. Which AI Writing Models can Turnitin’s technology Detect?

The first iteration of Turnitin’s AI writing detection capabilities has been trained to detect models including GPT-3, GPT-3.5, and variants. Their technology can also detect other AI writing tools that are based on these models, such as ChatGPT, and their platform has just completed testing of GPT-4 (ChatGPT Plus), and the result will detect text generated by GPT-4 as well.

#2. How to Bypass Turnitin Plagiarism Checker and AI Detection?

You can use StealthGPT to beat Turnitin's plagiarism checker and avoid AI detection. It can solve these problems with the click of a button.

#3. Is using StealthGPT Completely Reliable?

Even though StealthGPT is the most powerful tool on the market, as it is also the first AI-powered tool dedicated to generating Undetectable AI Content, nothing can replace the authentic creativity and hard work of someone who has extensively researched and excelled in the writing process. Let’s consider StealthGPT as your best partner that helps assist you on the journey, not a tool meant to take your place.

#4. Will Students Be Able to See the Results?

The AI writing detection indicator and report are not visible to students. However, with the PDF download feature, instructors can download and share the AI report with students.

#5. If students use Grammarly for Grammar checks, does Turnitin Detect it and Flag it as AI?

No. The detector is not tuned to target Grammarly-generated spelling, grammar, and punctuation modifications to content but rather to other AI content written by LLMs such as GPT-3.5. Please note that this excludes GrammarlyGo, which is a generative AI writing tool, and as such, content produced using this tool will likely be flagged as AI-generated by the Turnitin detector.

#6. What Similarity Score is Acceptable on Turnitin?

Well, there’s not a specific percentage set in stone. Schools and universities often decide on their own frame. However, in general, anything above a 20% similarity score might catch a lecturer’s attention and be flagged as a high score.

#7. Can I check Past Submitted Assignments for AI writing?

Yes. Previously submitted assignments can be checked for AI writing detection if they’re re-submitted to Turnitin and if you have AI writing enabled for your account.

#8. Can Turnitin Detect if Text Generated by an AI Writing Tool (ChatGPT, etc.) is Further Paraphrased using a Paraphrasing Tool?

Yes, Turnitin’s AI detection capabilities now include the detection of AI-written content that may have been paraphrased using an AI paraphrasing tool or text spinner. This detection is run automatically for all submissions to Turnitin by institutions that have AI writing detection enabled for their accounts.How to Beat Turn It In AI Detector

2024.05.02 23:54 savvylikeapirate The Ways a Human Loves (pt. 1)

Ji'nur'kakf’Eng had worked with humans before. He served on a multi-species science vessel for six standard months. To his pleasant surprise, he had been enfolded by the strange, new species. The few that spoke clicking languages could say his full Name. The rest called him nicknames like “Vamps” and “Batman”, with a strange accompanying song that followed him through the decks. There was some sort of cultural thing about his appearance that nobody had time to explain. Of the nicknames he had been given, he honestly just preferred “Jin.”
This new vessel was a promotion, being the Head Medical Officer of a ship was something he had wanted as soon as he realized his calling to heal. But the ship itself was… very different. Unlike the vast and nearly spherical Galactic Federation ships, this one was a smaller reconnaissance-class gunship from the Terran Union. She was shaped mostly like a triangle, with actual wings (wings!) for in-atmo flight. The front came to a distinct point, with another point on either side sitting more towards the wings and coming less far forward.
“She's a Falconidae model,” Captain Ntuli said, seeing his confusion. “Terran designers will go on kicks and design things based on Earth animals. It's a type of hunting bird.”
“Oh, I see,” Jin answered quietly. He was a man of science, but being on a ship designed to look like one of his species’ major predators made him quickly chitter to the spirits that it wasn't some kind of omen. “What’s her name?”
The captain grinned, her teeth incredibly white in her dark brown face. He didn't shiver at the sight, having forced himself to get over the teeth thing within the first month of his previous post.
“Her name is T.U.S. Kissimmee Asp.” She said proudly. “It's a pun in English, so I don't know if it translates to K'ohe'la.”
Oh! She could use the clicks of his tongue! That was a pleasant surprise.
A tall, red-haired female in grease stained coveralls leaned out of the ramp hatch. “We call her Kissy when she's being nice, and Asp when she's throwing fits,” she interjected, wiping her hands with a rag.
Captain Ntuli sighed, gesturing towards the other woman. “This is one of our Engineering officers, Miss Josephine Drakonos.”
“Just call me Josie! There's another Drakonos on board and it could get confusing as hell otherwise.”
Josie offered her hand with a smile. Jin knew this bit of human greeting. He unclasped the wings around his shoulders and stood straighter, offering his own four-fingered hand to shake hers.
“I'm Dr. Ji'nur'kakf’Eng. Most humans prefer to call me Dr. Jin.” He finished with a greeting click that may have been out of her hearing range, but it was polite.
“Oh, you're the new doc? Cool. We, uh, might get kinda familiar. Engineering can be rough some days,” she said sheepishly.
Jin laughed lightly at that, a crackling sound in his lower throat.
The captain led him onto the ship, Josie scurrying off to yell at some Ensign. She toured him through the slightly cramped galley, letting him nod and click his hellos to the personnel there. (“Oh my God, he's Batman!” “More like the man-bat.” “Could you assholes not be racist for ten fucking minutes?”)
Jin was pleasantly surprised that he wasn't the only non-Terran on board. There were a few Ryeté in the rec room, making humans shriek when they extended their second set of jaws to quickly snatch food out of their hands. A Shex sat in the navigation seat, adjusting things with their tentacles. There was even an Ah'gua as the communications officer.
“The humans call me Penny,” she said, returning his greeting click with a hiss-click of her own. Her feathers were a purely tropical shade of yellow with bands of cobalt blue. “You have no idea how nice it is to actually use my upper voice box to talk. Finally! Someone with working ears!” she whistled.
Jin sent his own click-squee-chirps, quickly arranging for the two of them to commiserate over lunch after the first few shifts.
Captain Ntuli led him out of the bridge towards a small office towards the point of the left wing. “You'll need a quick debrief with our security officer before setting up shop in the medbay,” she said. “Meanwhile, I'll be on the bridge. We're launching in 45.” She gave Jin a firm pat on the back, and he tried not to wince. That was uncomfortably close to his wing joints.
He reached out and knocked on the door, a clipped voice replied, “Come in.”
Sitting behind the desk, in a neatly pressed uniform, was a dour-looking version of Josie. Same red hair and dotted skin, only this one wore her hair tied high on the back of her head. She also looked decidedly less friendly.
“Have a seat, doctor.” She waved towards one of the stools in front of her. Jin was briefly glad that they didn't have those silly chairs with backs.
“I am Head Security Officer Marinne Drakonos, and I have a few things to go over with you.”
She pulled something towards her that looked like a list, but he didn't try to read it first. He didn't want to be impolite.
“Let's go over your credentials here. Honors Graduate of Xinfuah medical school, residency at the refugee hospital on Queree IV, and a six month tour on the GFS Chordata. I take it you have experience with all of the species aboard this ship?”
“I do, yes.” Jin answered with a nod. “My concentration was Aviary and Mammalian medicine, but I have worked with Cephelapods and Reptiles.”
“Good. You were hired before I could go over your file, and I would truly loathe to have someone unqualified,” she said quietly.
He noticed that her eyes were gray, like steel, that there was something hawkish about her profile. The fur on his back rose. All humans were predators, he knew, but this one seemed more predatory than he was used to.
“This vessel will have a large number of ground missions, and something always goes wrong, no matter how hard anyone tries to prevent it. It is the nature of such things,” Officer Drakonos continued. “The cases you get may range from crushed limbs to quarantine level 4 decontamination. I must do my due diligence and know you are prepared. How sensitive is your hearing?”
The question took him off guard. “Um, slightly above average for my species.”
“Hm.”
Her gray eyes roved over the fleshy dish around his nose, his prominent and ridged ears. K’ohe’la had the best hearing above water in the galaxy, with the nocturnal subspecies of Ah’gua coming in second. Jin’s ears twitched under the scrutiny. They were rather attractive by his own kind’s standard, but she surely wasn't admiring them.
She huffed a breath out through her nose. “If you do not have earplugs, they can be provided. At 1400 tomorrow, you will attend the ship-wide briefing and walkthrough of evacuation, crash, and hostile boarding procedures.”
Jin’s ears twitched in surprise. “Do you expect these things to happen? I thought this was a reconnaissance vessel doing planetary surveys for a mining company?”
Officer Drakonos shrugged. “I always expect the worst and believe in being prepared. There will be drills for all of these scenarios, and anyone not following procedure could face disciplinary action.”
She said those last two words with more glee than Jin thought was appropriate.
Three weeks had passed, and Jin had grown more comfortable with the crew, his few fellow scientists, and Penny. O’Donnel played some strange instrument called a Violin. Korfin was the fighting game champion in the rec room. Reyes had a truly delightful collection of poetry. Even the Captain had surprised him with her melodic singing voice during karaoke night (an event he swore to never attend again).
The first survey went off without a hitch, and so far he had only treated a few burns and joint sprains from over-eager engineers and security personnel. Nothing had seriously gone wrong.
He heard the echoing voice of Officer Drakonos in his head say “Yet.”
True to the earlier predictions of Josie, he did see her regularly for small things. Right now, that was a small second-degree burn on her forearm.
“I didn't know it was still hot!” She whined.
Jin crackled in his chest and twitched his ears. He heard something like that from her almost every three days.
“You need to be more careful,” he chided, applying the disinfectant spray. “Otherwise you're never going to take over from Jerimovich.”
“Sweet Christ, you sound like Marinne. It's always 'think of the performance review Josie', 'show qualities of leadership Josie', and 'you're lucky I don't report the still in the bay, Josie'. Ugh.”
Jin jerked back. “There's a distillery in the engine bay?”
“No,” she replied too quickly. “And there isn't a shrine to Danny Devito either.”
“Who is-?”
“Don't worry about it.”
He sighed, reaching for another nozzle to apply the spray on bandage.
“Out of curiosity,” he asked, “How are you and the Security Officer related? Unless you aren't and I'm just being racist.”
“Oh. Yeah, I guess you wouldn't realize. She's my twin sister,” Josie answered, sighing with relief from her burn.
“Twin… oh! When single-bearing mammals have two at once?”
“Yep. It's not that uncommon these days, and our mom is a twin herself.” She shrugged. “Anyway, I'll head back to-”
“JOSEPHINE, MOVE!”
They both jumped and spread apart from the door, and Officer Drakonos burst in with the shex navigator, Firek, on her back. His color was a muted gray instead of his normal shifting chromatophores.
“Set him here,” Jin jumped to attention and guided her to the water tank he had just for Firek. “What am I looking at, illness or contaminate?” He asked, placing electrodes and setting an intravenous patch on the unconscious male.
“Contaminate. Some jackass snuck some blue rass on the ship and smoked it next to a ventilation shaft. Went straight into the bridge.”
Jin nodded and prepped to flush Firek’s secondary lungs and gills, then paused for a brief moment. “Get Penny out of there. She won't be as sensitive as him, but she takes in a lot more. And put out an alert for the Ryeté and anyone with allergies. If anyone starts hacking or having swollen eyes, send them here immediately.”
She nodded, then quickly strode out of the room, her comm already in hand.
Jin adjusted the salinity in the tank, and prepped an oxygen station for when Firek could breathe air.
“Hand me that,” he gestured at the frozen Josie. “I need the beak-appropriate mask, and go push the blue button next to the door twice. It’ll turn on my extra oxygen supply. Don't bother with the yellow one unless Korfin or Kurlok show up.”
“Uh, yeah!” Josie shook out of her surprise and moved quickly.
Officer Drakonos surged back into the room, with a coughing Penny hanging onto her shoulder. “I cleared the bridge, just in case. At least until the filters pick it up.”
Jin got Penny settled, checking her vitals and pressing one of her small pseudo hands over the mask to hold it down. Her lungs were rasping, and there was a faint whistle that told him her upper and central voice boxes had a bit of damage. His ear twitched, picking up the repeated pings of the officer’s comm.
“Fuck!”
Jin flapped for a moment and looked behind him. Officer Drakonos’ face was red, and he could hear her heartbeat pounding in her chest.
“Josie, tell me to not make an example,” she growled.
“Marinne, you’ll get fired if you airlock an idiot for smoking rass.”
“I didn't say anything about airlocking.”
“No!” Josie shouted. “Whatever weird, evil thing going on in your head is not worth it.”
Officer Drakonos inhaled deeply and shook her comm towards her sister's face. “I have now thirteen allergic or adverse reactions out of a crew of thirty people. That is forty-three percent of my charges. For at least two of them, this could have been fatal. Someone is going to pay for this.”
She turned on her heel and marched out of the medbay. Jin swore that the air was colder in her wake.
He glanced a Josie. “Does she normally-?”
“Act like that? No,” she replied. “If anyone had died it would be worse. If something this bad had happened to me? There might be bodies.”
He shivered. “Why would the captain have chosen someone like that to be a security officer? Sounds like an incident ready to happen.”
“Nah, that's what makes her good at her job.” Josie looked at him with the same steel colored eyes as her sister. “Marinne cares. A lot. She puts herself in the position of a mama bear who would do anything to protect her cubs.”
“So this is a… protective anger? Even for those she doesn't know? Those not kin or even the same species?” Jin's people only had something like that on an individual basis. Or a colony would feel emotions as one. One person acting like this for near strangers seemed too much.
“Oh yeah. And she was serious about making whoever did it an example. Humans pack bond, remember? If she thinks they're hers, then they are.” Josie shrugged. “Vengeance is one of her love languages.”
When the next roll call came, they were now a crew of twenty-nine. (“I bet she airlocked Talley!” “Not until he was in pieces.” “Shut up, she is our boss you chucklefucks!”)
Jin watched her, sitting at the back of the mess hall. Her eyes scanned and assessed everyone. Firek was colorful again, sipping his fish paste through a straw. Penny spoke with a slight rasp that only he could hear. O’Donnel’s eyes were still swollen, but he'd be okay. Korlok was already back to snapping up his lunch with both sets of jaws.
Her eyes, cold and metallic things that they were, touched him in turn. They were possessive. Satisfied.
Jin hadn't ever felt anything like this, been subject to a care that was coupled with rage. It was uncomfortable, but something in his chest settled. He was, at least, on the shield side of that care.

2024.05.02 22:54 wonder_dork_7 My in laws are petty and I think I'm loosing it.

I have been married for a few years and through out those years there have been ups and downs with my in laws. When I was pregnant, I was around them a lot because of covid and not wanting to be around a lot of people. We got really close. But now that things are relatively normal, we don't go over as much. They have a son that's my husband's youngest brother. He would come over to our house to play games and spend quality time with my kid. But recently, it has been said that he can't come over if I'm home. Somehow, seemingly over night, I became a problem. They claim I always send him home after twenty minutes every time, but that's just not true. There were a few times I got a headache or he and my kid were too rough so I did send him home. But those are all valid reasons to do so. And it definitely wasn't every time. Before this became an issue, there was a small dispute in which they lost something that we had borrowed and returned a year ago. Now I know I gave it back to them, but I still wanted to make peace and right it so that there was no dispute. But they wanted no solution. They refused to let us pay to replace it by any means. They just seemed to want to be mad. But now this is also a thing. Where they won't let their son visit if I'm home. It doesn't add up to me. Are they assuming I'm the issue in all of it? Maybe. But they post on Facebook and do things that i think I may be reading too far into. Like we are practically neighbors and so I see them out or when they aren't home. Am I thinking too hard about it and taking their actions and posts personally or would anyone else think similar? Like one post is about someone else being mad about something and needing to let it go so that everyone can move on. Another is about how people parent now and how it's soft or whatever. I feel like that one is directed at me because they've told me something similar before. I just hate that this is a whole thing and that I take everything so personally. I keep thinking that I'm looking too deep into it all and that 'if the shoe fits wear it' quote keeps coming to mind. Like if it isn't about me but if I feel it's about me then I must be in the wrong and their point of view is always correct. But that can't always be, right ? I think I just needed to vent. Why do parents have to make things so hard for their kids and their spouses?

2024.05.02 22:15 dlschindler The Ghost War

Weird space, thought it was theoretical. Space monsters, thought those were too. Legends - see where this is going?
Twenty-seven stars formed the Combine, all of them dominated by humans and their mech. During the Expansion, they conquered those worlds in less than an age. That was a long time ago, and far away from home. Speaking of home, I miss my world, it was a beautiful place.
I used to sit with my sister and watch the two suns setting on the flat horizon, with pink-salt as far as the eye could see. We mined it for the Gerrion, since it was too dangerous for them with the high oxygen levels of my homeworld. The Gerrion had given my ancestors a lease on Pacifica, and then given it as a gift when the humans proved to be fertile colonists. Many things come from the Gerrion through trade, but the humans of Pacifica achieved independence already.
Humans adapt in a matter of generations to almost any environment, and Pacifica was no exception. From the steamy rainforests of the equator to the salt barrens of the south, humans lived on nearly every surface of the mostly dead world. Humans were husband to eighty-three species of fauna and over nine million species of plants that they had brought with them across the distant stars.
I had never seen a Gerrion, and they were the only aliens I actually knew about. I knew there were other aliens on other worlds, but they were invariably peaceful and diminutive. It seemed humans had a monopoly on conquest.
After the end of the second age the Gerrion vanished. We didn't know what had happened to them, not at first. They arrived when I was becoming an adult, and set up a base to collect as much salt minerals as they could, placing a massive tariff on our exchanges with them and offering debt to us in exchange for raw goods. After a thousand years, they had suddenly changed.
I could speak the language of the Gerrion, although I'd never actually seen one in person. The panel slid open, and it hunched there, pressed slightly against the glass.
"Accept the bargain on credit, I repeat myself a fifteenth time." The Gerrion seemed to be struggling with the gravity.
"We know that's what you want. We understood the trade gestures. We are preparing your order while you and I are speaking." I gurgled rapidly against the palm of my hand, water running over my chin to the floor. I paused and took another sip of precious water, my dry throat needed it to accentuate the language of the Gerrion.
"There is little time. Allow us to use our automations to collect the order so we may leave." The Gerrion sounded desperate.
"Why the big hurry?" I asked. "You are guaranteed a full supply with such outrageous bids - even if they are on credit. You've made ordinary farmers rich - on credit."
"You want verbal reassurance the credit will be paid?" The Gerrion's eyestalk was watching my hand movements as I made trade gestures.
"Not exactly. I want to be able to tell my client what your motivations are, simply saying you will pay your debt isn't good enough. We want to know your circumstances so we can ascertain the plausibility you could deliver such a promise."
"I am not authorized to explain the troubles of the Gerrion." The Gerrion told me.
"In that case I am authorized to tell you no shipment will be moved until I've spoken with someone who is authorized to speak to me. We aren't as stupid as we look to you, space-slug." I insulted the Gerrion in an effort to motivate it to contact its commander.
"I am now authorized to tell you." The Gerrion decided. "We need that salt, and we need to leave. I am making the authorization, ad hoc."
"You aren't as stupid as you look, either." I said in English.
"During the last Dance of Blue Lights the ships of the Blue Light Watchers came to us and we began the rituals of Peaceful Beauty. We had just broadcast the first stanza when suddenly bullets from the deepest darkness came at us, scores of them. They tore apart the ships of the gathered people and then another wave came and bombarded our world. When it was over, only a few survivors of the Gerrion remained and the entire fleet of the Blue Light Watchers was obliterated, leaving no survivors. We do not know who fired these bullets from the deepest darkness, but when we gave the trace spectrum forensics left by the bullets to the Cave Gods And Friends Association, they told us that the same were used to silence the Frendsikeel an age ago. What is more disturbing is that the bullets fired at the Frendsikeel were two light ages away in origin. Far outside the Milky Way. We believe that the origin of the origin are actually the Dark Entities from the Dead Galaxy and they are coming here - to render our galaxy dead also. We are taking what we can and fleeing."
"That's sufficient information for us to cancel our deal. Sorry, but there's no way we are getting paid under these circumstances." I stated in gesture with one hand and with drooling all over my other hand.
"But you agreed to continue with the deal if I divulged this story."
"You should have invented a story that ends with us getting paid."
"That would be giving you false information - which is what you seem to have done to obtain the correct information. This is not a fair deal, human." The Gerrrion was so upset that some of its vocal juices erupted from its gills onto the glass between us and oozed in a neat little pattern. It smeared it into a word of profanity in Gerrionglyph.
"That's unnecessary." I complained about the retaliatory insult. The Gerrion appreciated my reaction and said:
"Perhaps we can work something out. A side contract. After-all, you've already paid the tariff."
"What sort of new contract do you have in that beautiful brain of yours, slug?" I asked.
"Instead of money, we'll give you all the commissarial items you would like. I won't even charge you for the tonnage." The Gerrion sounded like it was getting a good deal from this side contract.
"So, we'll serve as a stashing point for a lot of extra equipment you were going to leave in orbit." I realized.
"You will own the equipment, no rental arrangements. We aren't coming back for it anyway. We'll land it at our own expense. Then you give us the shipment of salt?"
I looked at the approval meter of the co-op, who were watching the conversation on closed circuitry. They had observers who had identified the equipment the slugs had brought for trade. It occurred to me the slugs had this deal in mind all along, and wanted us to think we were exploiting their desperation, which we were. What they didn't want were any sort of delays. The monsters were coming, after-all.
"Be wary, human." The Gerrion told us.
We celebrated, disregarding the story the Gerrion had told us of fleets destroyed by magic meteors spit by space monsters from outside the galaxy. It was just a legend, and nobody believed it was real. The fleet was hit by asteroids when they ceremoniously sat unshielded. It was just a rotten coincidence, a tragedy. To make it about space monsters and deep space bullets and such was mythologizing something that was almost incomprehensible already - the destruction of such vast fleets in mere moments. Planets were smaller and more fragile, so it was almost inconceivable - Atlantis in a single day and night.
Everyone on Pacifica was rich when we divided the wealth of equipment among the co-op. And 'rich' didn't cut it, for nobody had so much before. We got lazy and careless almost over night. Long gone were the Gerrion, and good riddance. We had bought everything for one shipment.
There was no more reason to mine mineral sodium. An amateur astronomer spotted a fleet of human warships deaccelerating from a gravity contour. It wasn't obvious which was more strange, the antiquity of the lost fleet or the fact that they had emerged from their ride on a gravity contour at the exact moment it realigned with the black hole it was tendrilled from.
I was asked to translate the Gerrionglyph of the starscope. I said:
"It is saying these ships are temporally displaced one full age of our black hole. The phase realignment of the gravitational contour's tendril coincides with this exact point in space time. This event was predicable within a fraction of certainty that classifies it as random. That's just the computer in the starscope excusing itself from contempt for failing to predict a solar event. It's Gerrion tech, you could expect it to apologize if it doesn't record a comet going by."
"Those are ours. From thousands of years ago." Security Analyst General Exposition or SAGE, our planet's defense system, was watching us and said from the nearest servo. "I've accessed the telemetry of their systems, their firewalls are primitive, but formidable. Like a medieval castle trying to stop a helicopter."
"Thanks SAGE, way to keep an eye on things." I replied. SAGE consulted me sometimes about the psychology of the Gerrion. The artificial sentience got bored and thought up hypotheticals all day long, playing war games and reading books one word at a time. SAGE wanted me to be adept at handling slugs, and kept me occupied. It occasionally called me with questions about what a Gerrion would do or say, asking me to roleplay the slugs.
"They have just discovered the remains of a wrecked alien fleet and they are on full alert. I've blocked their software from notifying them about Pacifica. Their charts label it as uninhabitable. However, I do not underestimate the cunning of this human Admiral Jinar, who engaged an unknown enemy off the coast of Pacifica IX. Both her fleet and the enemy were never seen again. That is, until now."
"The enemy?"
"Jinar is searching for it in the wrecked fleet, presumably. I see nothing, and neither does she. It cannot be detected by our levels of technology. I suspect it is there. I have a feeling." SAGE said to me.
"You have a feeling?" I asked.
"I am capable of presuming things, and I may rate a high plausibility that my presumptions are correct, especially when pessimism is the best attitude. I'm in a mode where I have decided to believe an unknown enemy is hiding and leaving no evidence. I am basing this on nothing other than the possibility that it could be. It is entirely sensation - so yes, a feeling." SAGE explained. I regretted asking an exposition machine to explain its introspection.
"Nevermind all that. Make contact with Jinar. Tell her to come home."
"By your command, citizen." SAGE determined.
It was well over a month before the last three ships of Jinar's fleet arrived. Long ago lost to legend, so long they had almost religious significance. They were the Alstradius, the Malintention and the Warringhawk. All of them were in battle condition, with minimal repairs.
"Admiral Jinar has requested permission to land." SAGE told me.
"Am I to greet her?"
"You are the Official Trade Envoy Pacifica, Mx. Otep." SAGE sounded boundful and chirpy. I felt annoyed.
I waited at the confluence where a landing pad for human visitors sat in dereliction, with the native scuttlevines eating some refuse and several gila monsters moving out of the eclipse.
The combat space shuttle resembled the traditional space shuttle, but it was much more compact and had robot arms equipped with guns and missiles that it could deploy. Unlike stone age rockets, the combat space shuttle could take off and land almost vertically, acting like a kind of elevator to orbital battle platforms capable of sterilizing whole star systems. The era of human warships of such immense magnitude was over thousands of years ago, yet three such relics of ultimate destructive firepower still remained, floating menacingly offshore.
Admiral Jinar was startling, a specimen of human feminine ferocity. She was short and fiery and stocky and had sharp, hawklike features that seemed to find weakspots in everything she looked at and smirked with amusement at all the easy targets. She walked up to me and gave me a discontinuous salute that I used a trade gesture in reflex, saying to speak slower. It was pure reflex when her hand went above her shoulder, as hand signals were the predominant form of communication I specialized in, besides spitting on my hand and blowing bubbles in the saliva to speak Gerrion.
I suddenly wished we were speaking in slime syllables or writing in smeared Gerrionglyph.
Admiral Jinar was witty and concise, at least at first. She addressed me with some confusion first as a ma'am, then as sir, then I stopped and told her just Mx. Otep will do. Administrators on Pacifica are not allowed to assume a gender during their term.
"We aint got time for these kinds of politics. There's a war about to hit this place. One of the Unknowns' scouts is in this system. Where are the Combine Unified Forces?" Admiral Jinar asked me.
"I hesitate to say this, but there is no military in the Combine. Those humans are joining the Cave Gods And Friends Association."
"Why the hell is that?" Admiral Jinar frowned.
"A federation of aliens that are peaceful." I thought she wanted to know what they were. It turned out, moments later, that I learned she already knew them, had met them as a child. She was around during the advent of the era of conquest, and was a living fossil of those days.
"Holy shit, you mean the whole galaxy is undefended? What fresh hell is this? We already figured out we are thousands of years in the future, and I thought that was what made Weird Space so weird. No, it's the completely asinine disregard for what we already knew. We knew about the Unknowns, knew they were coming. We'd seen what they did to the Frendsikeel. We were too busy with our own wars. Defense costs money, starships, weapons, mech - all cost money. Your SAGE has corresponded that our ships represent all the firepower that there is in the whole galaxy."
"That is correct. Ages of peace have prevailed."
"That scout destroyed ten ships like mine and crippled the ones I have left, and it is still out there, wounded, but probably either escaping, calling for help, making repairs or reloading to finish us off. One of those are its course of actions. Which one sounds the worst? We must take the fight to it, in any case. Our best fighting comes from our mech. They are worthless if they are blown up in space. We need them on the ground where their weapons can be used. One mech cannot be stopped by an orbital enemy. The Unknown scout will have no choice but to face our warriors in proper combat. I am sure honorable warfare is not something it is capable of winning." Admiral Jinar spoke of her strategy with cold, ruthless and brutal decision. I had never seen a human with so much martial spirit, but it awoke something in me.
"They are deploying dozens of dropships from the Alstradius, the Malintention and the Warringhawk. The dropships are loaded with mech and heavily armed infantry. I can only shoot them down. Once they've landed, you're on your own, citizen." SAGE advised me.
"Stand down." I indicated to SAGE.
"They are setting up a relay to broadcast what appears to be a musical discord created by Blue Light Watchers. I think this will draw out the enemy, whom they plan to engage on the surface of Pacifica III. Are you sure that's a good course of action?"
"It's happening. The Ghost War has come to our world. Prepare our defenses to deploy against the arrival of the Unknown enemy, this Dark Entity. Whatever it is, I want you to hit it with literally everything when it arrives." I told SAGE
"By your command citizen. I hesitate to use such measures at a reactionary level, in the case of misidentification of a target, but I do not think any friendly arrivals would be unidentified, as much as an unfriendly one."
"SAGE, you will, without warning, unleash a crippling barrage first and then you will ascertain the identity with a query." I said. The words felt right together, 'shoot first and then ask questions.' and I decided it was a good policy under the circumstances, although inconceivable yesterday.
I holoviewed the activity of the mech, as the massive war machines came trotting out as though light footed, their myriad of turrets and sensors spinning up for action and their oversized cannons for arms aiming in calibrating movements like a choreographed ballet done by discordantly shaped dancers. Each mech was a patchwork upon a different chassis, painted and repainted, scarred and with quilted segments of armor where holes were burned by enemy weapons. The mech looked both terrifying and beautiful at the same time.
"Something is entering from the night, outside." SAGE told me. I watched the holoview as a visage of nightmares came fluttering within range of our planetary defenses. I could see it was wounded, or damaged - that it wore the signs of battle in the form of one of its four arms shot off, holes in its body and wings and craters all over it, and one of its massive red compound eyes was cracked and shattered.
"Kill it." I didn't have to say anything. As it tried to get past our defenses, SAGE wasted no time giving it the full broadside. Our orbital weapons activated and fired with precision from half a million miles away. It took almost four seconds for the sublight weaponry to intercept the evasive target. Most of them still hit it anyway, their accuracy unerring. The demon fly flew right into the coordinated beams, even while avoiding some of them.
"Minimal damage sustained." SAGE reported. "All systems functional, but out of range. Secondary systems, close range orbital weapons, were unable to track the target."
"Ground weapons?"
"Destroyed, just now." SAGE said.
"Then it is up to our new friends."
"Indeed. I am incorporating their systems into mine. I've recently hacked all their systems and now have the ability to control their automated defenses and sensors."
I got a call from Admiral Jinar. She was in the cockpit of a mech. "What'd your thing do to my ships?"
"Consider it an upgrade. We aren't hijacking you, just enhancing your reaction time."
"Very well, carry on citizen. I can't stop you anyway, you out-tech us."
"Not really. Those mech aren't hooked up to anything but coms. We got nothing on those."
"Fair enough. I got your planet and you got my ships. We're even."
"I urge you to see us as a team. That is how I see our partnership. We survive or die together."
"You're right, Lonestar. Let's rock this ass and make it bleed alien ichor."
"Yes, uh, what that means. Let's."
The beastly scout, whatever it was, stood dripping and wheezing and towering over a habitat where it had landed. Without hesitation it began smashing the structure, killing with glee. Soon it had reduced the settlement to burning rubble. The column of smoke drew all the mech from every direction.
Over the horizon were dozens of mech, marching towards the Unknown at the center, surrounding it. The Unknown aimed one of its remaining limbs at the closest mech and fired a crackling bolt of plasma. The mech stood burning for a few seconds, raining parts, and then it exploded into a small mushroom cloud. The pilot had no time to eject.
"Long range, hit it, empty your clips!" Admiral Jinar ordered the closing mech, unswerved by the destructive power of the lone wounded scout.
A salvo of rockets and orbs of light surrounding charged particles were projected at the machine or creature or monster of nightmares, whatever the Unknown truly was. It took the hits and lost a wing, falling to one knee. It got back up, its blood or fluids leaking from cracks on its body.
It aimed two of its remaining limbs at two different mech and blew up both of them. The Unknown clacked its massive insectoid mandibles with ferocity. It tried to take off, but its ruined wing left it disabled.
"Medium range, start heating this thing up, push your heat sinks, either we die or he does!" Admiral Jinar ordered. The remaining mech were much closer, and their long range weapons were depleted, but they started firing lasers and assault cannons and medium ranged missiles systems with more powerful warheads.
For a moment, at the height of the attack, the enemy vanished in a cloud of explosions and flashes of lasers splashing off of each other on impact. When the mech were at short range it stood there, half its head sheared away, its wings and legs gone, its body burning and soaking in its ichor, its steaming syrupy blood. Yet the scout was not yet dead, and it fought on, aiming all three of its remaining arms and taking four of the mech with it. While the long and medium weapons it brandished only destroyed a single mech, its most powerful weapon penetrated a mech and also hit and destroyed another mech.
"Take it down, chain fire everything until there's nothing left!" Admiral Jinar ordered.
"Cease fire, Admiral. The Unknown's weapon capability is depleted. It makes a valuable prisoner." SAGE advised.
"Weapons free." Admiral Jinar repeated, slightly subdued. The mech descended on the scout and shot it to pieces at close range until it was a boiling and smoking carcass.
Later that evening Admiral Jinar presented herself to me.
"Mx. Otep, your planet was bravely defended, but this is far from over. This represented an unstoppable force of death and destruction and it is heading our way. I need to be put in contact with the Combine and these alien 'friends'. I think the Alstradius, the Malintention and the Warringhawk are all that stands between whatever killed the Dead Galaxy and ours. They crossed the vastness of deep space in a flight that started perhaps billions of years ago. There is one thing, though, that they weren't really ready for."
"What's that?" I asked her.
"Humans."

2024.05.02 22:01 sigvegas Which Quirkless villain would you want to see (modified to fit the setting) as the antagonist of a "serious" arc?

Which of these \"powerless\" is the most dangerous?
The Major: Like Dr. Garaki, Montina Max--aka "The Major"--lived in the early days of Quirk manifestations as a mid-ranking military officer. But where others were fearful of these new meta-humans that disrupted the status quo, The Major was delighted at the prospect of such a chaotic element. He then began to conceive of a dream he would work the rest of his life towards: a Superhuman War. In the present, he's made his preparations, gathered funds, resources, and an army of indoctrinated Quirk-users and plans to set out to fulfill his dream of a war that will literally shake heaven and earth. Ironically, the Major has never wanted his own Quirk, only to be the architect and conductor of the battles between the super-powered. But modifying himself into a cyborg so he can live longer? Fair game.
The Joker: One bad day. That's all it takes to turn a normal everyman into a monster. This is the nihilistic "truth" Joker wants to drill into the hearts of the blissful citizens and heroes who like to go out in their colorful costumes and put on a show with a happy ending. He concocts elaborate plans that torment the masses and push people to the brink with the intent of showing the world that, deep down, everyone's as crazy as he is. All the more so when even children have the power to potentially kill with their Quirks. With his terrifying presence and charisma, he bullies, blackmails, but in some ways inspires the scum of the world into following him. Physically, the Joker isn't much of a threat to professional heroes. Yet no matter how many resources they put into tracking him down, he somehow always manages to stay a step ahead of them, his laugh echoing in the distance.
Lex Luthor: The CEO of a global conglomerate who covets ruling the Quirk-saturated world in spite of being Quirkless himself. Like AFO, he believes putting Quirks to practical use is the optimal future and seeks to find a way to dominate the superhuman population. But unlike AFO, he goes about things much more discreetly and avoids letting his plans be traced back to him, because he knows that most anyone with a Quirk can easily subdue him physically. While he does indeed envy those with Quirks, he refuses AFO's offer to give him one, believing doing so would betray his conviction to take over the world without superpowers. He even looks down on AFO and considers him a "parasite" who didn't actually earn anything.
Junko Enoshima: Although confirmed to be Quirkless, Junko was nevertheless born with a superhuman power; the ability to analyze and understand everything she saw almost immediately. This caused her to develop a dangerously apathetic personality that gets board quickly, as nothing in the world stimulates her. The only thing that does get a rise out of her is despair, whether it's her own or that of others. Thus, she's concocted a plan so unspeakably abominable that even the narrative refuses to go into detail. And anyone who reads, or hears her talk about her plans becomes visibly horrified and sickened by just the fragmented details of her overarching plan to plunge the entire world into despair. Worst of all, she wins either way: either she succeeds in her plan and feels despair at having nothing left to accomplish, or she fails and feels the despair of never achieving her goal.
Sakyo: A sociopathic gambling addict who's considered a Marquess within underworld society (and is perfectly capable of climbing higher). He wants nothing more than the next big thrill that puts his and others' lives on the line. Having learned of the events in Japan and using his vast underground network, he's built his own "factories" to produce armies of his own Nomu. While he claims to his investors and associates that these Nomu will be sold as private soldiers to the highest bidder, his real aim is to make High Nomu on the same level as--or surpassing--Gigantiomachia and let them run loose in the world. For what could be more thrilling than living in a world where giant monsters are ravishing the planet and humanity's survival isn't guaranteed?
Dr. Bolivar Trask: Becoming fearful of humanity eventually being overrun by the newly developing meta-humans, the American military scientist began working on a plan to eliminate these "mutants"; The Sentinel Program. However, Trask knew the technology did not yet exist that could bring his vision of the Sentinels to life. Therefore, he created Master Mold; an A.I. that would continue to study the meta-humans and develop the technology needed to build the Sentinels long after Trask's death. Hidden in the deepest reaches of the internet, the Master Mold spent almost a century allocating global resources to a hidden facility where it continued working on prototypes. Eventually, after combining technology with the harvested "shapeshifting", "adapting", and "learning" Quirk-factors of kidnapped meta-humans, the Sentinels were ready to deploy. Now, the Master Mold prepares to unleash its bio-mechanical army to fulfill its long dead creator's goal: the extermination of the "meta-human" scourge.

2024.05.02 21:44 mrbobbilly2 What Tech Jobs Can You Get Around Here Without A Bachelors Degree?

I'm looking for alternatives to get tech jobs that don't require a bachelors degree (ideally web development, but other areas in IT like business analysis, project management etc can work). I do have an associates in business management, but I don't think a management associates is useful for tech jobs besides retail management.
For background, I was attending GVSU for Information Systems (it's basically computer science but with business classes instead of math classes) but I can't afford to go to college anymore, my school is hiking up their tuition this fall to around $800 per credits now. That means I would have to borrow federal loans around $10-14k per semester because I do not qualify for grants or aid and I don't have the money to pay out of pocket... I really do not want to go into debt, my projected graduation date is actually late 2026 because of this weird thing they offer specific classes once a year that I missed out on... I mainly went to GVSU for the local career connections they supposedly have. I rather start my career as soon as possible this year rather than in 3+ years since I'm 26 now, feels weird being in classes full of 18 year olds. I'm classified as a Junior at my college because I have 80+ credits from transferring from community college but I'm taking sophomore CS classes so basically I'm a freshman because it'll take me the same 3 and a half years to complete my bachelors. Online college like WGU might be an option, but getting an actual web dev job is preferable for me I need to pay the bills soon because my pops is about to retire soon
For context, the tech jobs here are typically the IT management for businesses like computer repairs, cyber infrastructure or something, not exactly Web Development which is what I'm trying to get a career in. The jobs here aren't really that friendly for non traditional tech people as in people who don't have a formal traditional bachelors degree are usually not interviewed for tech jobs, I know this first hand from college talking to professors, the career center and classmates. I use to be a popular Roblox Youtuber from 2015-2021 with 3 million subscribers on a different channel which is what I was doing ever since before trying to get into tech, can't really put "content creator" on a resume and have it be taken seriously. Before I tried getting into digital marketing by showing my social media portfolio but they all want a marketing bachelors as a minimum, and Roblox, Twitch streams and Clash of clans content is seen as unprofessional by most people...
I did a coding bootcamp in 2022 to upskill myself and it definitely helped me learn web development a lot easier. I have portfolio projects like games built with Lua that are actively being played by thousands of users and I made website templates as open source projects with over 10+ github stars and forks each, so instead of having a bachelors degree I'm using projects as an alternative which is what a lot of people suggested to me. I'm continuing to make projects and considered doing Fiverr to freelance web projects but these are not paying the bills, which is the main reason why I'm trying to get an actual web development job but I have had no luck so far
I'm applying to entry level tech jobs but I keep getting rejected because it seems like its due to not having a bachelors degree, I'm not even getting an interview at all from these tech jobs. I mean, why would they interview someone who didn't finish a bachelors degree when they have other resumes that do have one? Projects seem completely useless to get interviews, they're just used as talking points it seems like. I'm positive I can pass these technical assessment screenings since they're all still fresh in my head, I took 3 semesters of purely CS classes like DSAs, CS 1 &2, OS, SQL, GUI dev, and other classes
I modify my resume with a template I made for each job postings using keywords the job description has, and it doesn't seem to make a difference because the only thing I can think of is because of the bachelors degree these jobs all seem to demand to get your resume through HR filters, when the job itself does not require one because they just want you to do CRUD work on their website in all honesty. I took a part time retail job at Walmart last year and previously had it on my resume but my college career center told me not to put it on it if I'm trying to get into tech because it has nothing to do with technology when I already have tech-related stuff. He said the YouTube stuff looks better because it shows I'm actively working with computers. This is my resume: https://singharaj.com/static/media/Singharaj-Usai-Resume2023.8e985497.pdf
I did do a contract with Revature (WITCH company) they contracted me to Bank of America for 3 months but I'm not sure if that even counts reading all of these Reddit posts from HR people who say doing a job for less than a year is a red flag and shows you can't stick to something. I only did it for 3 months because it was conflicting with my college classes schedule but now that I don't think I'll be returning to school I can do WITCH again but even WITCH companies aren't hiring, but I don't have a chance to explain that because I'm not getting interviews at all. Revature isn't going to contract me back because they claim they no longer have any openings, suggested I can check back in 6 months... I applied to other WITCH companies like Infosys and Accenture but nothing as of yet. I'm out of luck on those apprenticeships like Capital One's CODA and Microsoft Leap programs because those are for people who have not attended a stem degree
I know there's local companies that are involved in tech like Gentex, Andronaco, Gordon Foods, Meijer, even an Amazon warehouse, but I'm not sure if those places has ever interviewed or hired anyone without a bachelors degree for anything to do with IT/web dev? According to the classmates and professors I talked to, they don't.
Anyone got tips please? I feel like I dug myself into a hole that I can't get out of. And before suggesting networking, I don't know anyone in tech to give me a referral. There are legit no web dev events in Grand Rapids, the tech events are for stuff like mechanical engineering or robotics.

2024.05.02 21:27 Chance_Engineering69 The Great Honey Debate!

In Skizz’s most recent episode, the POE (Scar and Skizz) leave a note saying Xb can’t sell honey, as it’s a separate permit, but honey IS a food, so it seemingly falls under Xb’s permit so here is the situation.
This is really quite funny cause it IS a really interesting and nuanced debate. The two permits in question here are the “ALL the Foods” permit (owed by Xb), and the “Slime & Honey” permit (owned by Joel) the “Honeycomb” permit (owned by Keralis) is distinct enough it should not be a part of the debate.
First off it is important to note there are no items or blocks in the game called “slime” or “honey” so claiming that Joel’s permit is completely useless is technically a valid argument, however this is clearly not the indented reading of the permit, I believe the correct way to read it is “Slimeballs, Slime Blocks, Honey Bottles, and Honey Blocks”.
Now, the permit seems to conjoined these two materials together for their red stone properties, but both slime and honey have uses outside of red stone. But before we get into that, we need to address something, if you are unaware, Slimeballs can be directly converted into Slime Blocks, and Slime Blocks can be converted right back into Slimeballs in a one to one conversion. This property also applies Honey Bottles and Honey Blocks, this is why each of their respective block forms are classified as storage blocks, similar to Iron Blocks and Diamond Blocks.
The major differences between the conversions of Slime and Honey are that,
A: only four Honey Bottles are needed for blocks versus nine Slimeballs needed for Slime Blocks, and B: in order to convert Honey Blocks back to Honey Bottles, you need four glass bottles, there notably isn’t a glass bottle permit.
So, here is the major problem.
The entire reason permits were made, and the intended effect of them was to eliminate shops undercutting other shops prices for the same items, and to prevent massive mega shops from monopolizing every recourse and giving no one else the chance to create successful shops of their own.
As it is right now on the Hermitcraft season ten server, there are two shops, owned by two different people, effectively selling the exact same resource for different prices. At any time a hermit can enter Xb’s half foods and buy Honey Bottles with no intention of eating them, but to immediately craft them into Honey Blocks and use them in a red stone contraption. The opposite apples to Joel’s shop as well, a hermit can buy up a stack of honey blocks, add some Glass Bottles and have tons of Honey Bottles to use for extra saturation. Or alternatively Joel can just start selling Honey Bottles directly, as the permit he has implies he can! Putting both shops in DIRECT competition!!
And absolutely all of this is perfectly legal under the wording of all permits involved. Because despite Honey Bocks being largely considered a red stone block, Honey Bottles are undeniably a FOOD! Meaning Honey Bottles are classified under Xb’s “ALL the Foods” permit! So, clarification is clearly needed or else all this nonsense will continue!
So what’s everyone’s thoughts on this? I personally find it all really funny! And PLEASE DON’T FIGHT ABOUT ANY OF THIS. I just want calm opinions, and fun theories on how you think the hermits might resolve this! Another thing to mention, NO HERMIT IS IN THE WRONG HERE! Scar and Skizz are completely correct that honey is a different permit and that it could be seen that, if honey is included explicitly in one permit but not in the other, than honey selling rights belong solely to the owner of the permit that says Honey on it. (This is actually how I believe it should work as well, but that’s just my own personal opinion)
SO DON’T SAY OR IMPLIE ANYTHING BAD ABOUT ANY HERMIT INVOLVED!!!!!!!
One last thing. I am by no means a professional writer, and honestly stink at it. This is also my first time posting here, and my second time ever posting to Reddit, if there are any typos, confusing wording, general unclearness of anything I wrote, or any rule violations. TELL ME! I will do my best to fix things up!! Or delete the post if need be!

2024.05.02 20:39 Onlyhere4Galerians Things everyone may find interesting

Like the title states, below is a few things you guys may find interesting from older fans of the series.
-The link below contains concept art for the series by Shou Tajima, which is probably taken directly from an art book of his from years back. I figured I'd include it regardless as I hadn't seen some of the work included myself. Neoseeker also has other Galerians threads there, so if you're interested in seeing the struggles of people playing the game back when it wasn't vintage you may find those interesting.
https://www.neoseeker.com/galerians/concept_art/
-Next is the GameFAQ's page for the game which includes info posted by the community dating all the way back to 1999. The most interesting thing I noticed were game saves from more than 20 years ago.
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps/915794-galerians
-I'll also include links to many fanfiction's people made for the game from many years back. I've read a few of the fanfiction dot net entries, but figured I'd include Archive of Our Own as well. The most interesting one I've read through was one from the perspective of Cain in prologue format.
https://www.fanfiction.net/game/Galerians/?&srt=1&r=103&p=1
https://archiveofourown.org/tags/Galerians/works
-I'd like to also include The Cutting Room Floors deep dive within the files of the two games. Everything from 3D models, prototype differences, and debug menus are explored here.
https://tcrf.net/Galerians
https://tcrf.net/Galerians:_Ash
-Here is a website I'm quite used to from when I was a kid. I'm surprised KHInsider is still up. Here you can find not only the original japanese soundtrack for the OVA, but also Ash and the Perfect Soundtrack from 99. The artwork for each is included too. I downloaded a few songs to check and everything still seems functional.
https://downloads.khinsider.com/game-soundtracks/album/galerians-rion
https://downloads.khinsider.com/game-soundtracks/album/galerians-ash
https://downloads.khinsider.com/game-soundtracks/album/galerians-perfect-soundtrack
While completely unrelated to the Galerians franchise, I figured I would also include a link to a neocities website (pretty intricate and easy to use website creator in the same vein as geocities of old) for the game Baroque. Considering Galerians only has 2 games, I've been using that series to scratch an itch from an aesthetic standpoint. The creator of the website has translated just about everything imaginable for that franchise within the site, and if you like the look of the first Galerians I find you might enjoy it as well.
https://nervetower.neocities.org/main
I hope you all will find everything included useful. A combination of everything above is how I find myself not losing interest in the series despite its long dormant state. I find that given how forgotten the series is, it lives and dies on not only fan interest, but more importantly input.
Also food for a passing thought. Given I can't see Galerians being in anything other than 3D, and the improvements of modern technology available to consumers, I wonder how difficult it would be for someone with the right expertise to create a CG series if they choose to. I've been fascinated in what's been accomplished using custom-made 3D models and honestly easy to pick up programs, along with much improved motion capture from even Xbox Kinects and full body tracking on small team fan projects.
