This is a roleplay/ask blog for Ruin in my AU! He's silly with some dark lore, identity issues, and fully innocent unlike in the show. This blog is also a game of choices, and all actions have consequences, whether good ones or bad. The story will progress with or without input through what I call "events", which are things that happen around Ruin that cause him to post the things he does. He's very vague and gives little to no detail on what goes on, but you can always ask him to elaborate.
(more below the cut ↓)
"Are non-sams roleplay blogs allowed to interact?"
Yes, always! Sams is all about dimensions and Ruin himself isn't even from the main dimension. Roleplay blogs of any kind are allowed, just keep in mind that you don't actually appear in the main dimension (aside from special cases, such as @blip-cluster needing to communicate through the cabinets)
Ruin is always looking for more friends or people to talk to.
"Will there be a way to sort through posts?"
Yes, soon. I'm thinking of tags to better categorize his posts. This was originally supposed to be anonymous so I didn't want to add any tags or anything that would give me away, but I've told pretty much anyone who keeps up with this blog who I am, so you can easily search through things soon.
"Magic anon?"
Absolutely. Torture him if you'd like. I mean with. With fun things don't pull an Eclipse—
"What does the colored text mean?"
The colored text is based on his eyes. He's still a fusion of Sun and Moon, but... Well... I think that's a question for him.
Blue text is for his blue eye, usually tied to fear or stress, and isn't "Ruin is sad so he's speaking in blue text."
Red text is for his red eye, usually tied to extreme emotions or heavy stress, and isn't "Ruin is angry so he's speaking in red text."
Green text is for the virus. Does it show up? Possibly in the future. It's up to the players to figure it out.
"What about names and pronouns?"
This is a bit tricky as the name will likely change over the course of the blog, and pronouns are up for debate as well. But currently the character goes by "Ruin", and uses any pronouns he's assigned. He typically uses he/they, so anything else would probably surprise him, but he wouldn't stop you.
"Who is Egg?"
Egg is Ruin's plush. It was originally supposed to have a proper name, butttt I got a bit bored of needing "names that mean something for the lore", and decided eggs would be funny since it's my comfort meal.
Egg was originally a Moon plush but its head got torn off by a raccoon that a magic anon summoned. He found an extra Sun plush that was already quite worn down and wouldn't be missed as well as a small doll hat, and someone stitched it back together for him.
Feel free to ask Egg questions, it's Ruin's favorite plush, and I assure you that he'd love talking about the little stories he's made up for Egg.
(And maybe there's secret Egg lore, I'll never tell.)
"What's the lore like?"
Well, buckle up, and I'll tell you the story.
Ruin was infested with the virus for the longest time, and when confronted by Moon with the cure, he was fully cured. He was shoved to the side and took to life in the arcade, fixing cabinets and getting better by the day, singing and performing to a crowd of nobody but himself in his room during his free time, and avoiding the cabinets that "smiled at him"
He eventually made the blog as a sort of escape, where he met his friends @eclipseoftheapocalypse and @eclipse-cluster, and eventually @blip-cluster as well. He also encountered some magic anons which summoned plushies of Sun, Moon, and his friends. Moon eventually became Egg as mentioned previously.
His mood only gets worse as time goes on, but the reason why is a reason the players will have to find out for themselves. There are many things that contribute to it, not just Moon's distrust.
"Admit it. You named the blog after a reference."
Yeah and what're you gonna do about it? Get a snack at 4am, probably.
Ruin's blog name, "agenericarcadebot", is a reference to the store in GASA4 (Get a Snack at 4AM, a game on Roblox. Absolutely recommend it), which is named "A Generic Convenience Store." I thought it would be funny. Also he's self-deprecating, so it fit.
(Special thank-you to my friends who are currently keeping this blog alive. I have so many plans for him and you guys keeping up with it makes me happy. I was scared you guys would get bored with it the second it was no longer anonymous, but seeing you guys' reactions to things he says makes me happy. I made this blog so I could see people smile, that's the whole reason, I made this blog so people who like Ruin could interact with him and have a good time. I'm glad that the original purpose wasn't retconned the second I revealed myself. So thank you, and I love you.)
...Been a few months, hasn't it? My icon isn't accurate anymore. Everything's been so different...
How about my friends? Are they still here? I hope everybody's been doing well, I know I have. Made new friends, met new... Creatures, I suppose. It's not alive, no, but it acts like it is... We haven't found its motives and—
Aclipse! It's so good to see you again. You had injuries, didn't you? Did they get better? Have you had any worse injuries since we've last spoken? I'm so sorry I haven't been keeping track, my dimension's gotten so busy...
Feel free to give me the details of this, I'm sure you're overjoyed (or looking for a way to deal with this situation if you're not), but friend... I do expect an explanation of what's wrong after this.
Snake laid the eggs about ten days ago. I've been trying to monitor them and make sure they don't overheat in the summer sun. Snake seems... A lot more protective of them than I was under the impression snakes did. I wonder what colouration they'll be, I have no idea who the father is.
Alright! Very interesting, I hope the eggs all turn out okay.
...
...Would you be more willing to open up about potential injuries or not-okay-ness if I talked about what's gone on in my dimension? The... Less than thrilling parts of it.
...Now I'm only more worried. Please, just tell me what's going on. I'll tell you what's been going on in my dimension if you're just honest with me. I hate the secrets game, the truth hurts it always does but it's so much nicer than... Wondering if your friend will even make it out alive, and being told nothing about it.
Oh... I'm so sorry. I hope you do soon. I wish, so desperately, I wish I could just come to your dimension and hand it to you myself. Repair you myself. It's so unfair that you're struggling and I'm just standing by on the side getting... Regularly scheduled maintenance and the parts I need within, like, thirty minutes of the part needing to be replaced.
...Thank you. Things have been going well in my dimension... At least as well as they could be. There's... Ahem... A situation. Regarding one of the friends I've made in my dimension... But it's fine. He'll be fine.
I'm a hypocrite, but within reason. You were... Rather frightened the last time a subject like this was brought up. I don't want you to panic over something that isn't all that dangerous yet and is being settled well. It hasn't woven itself into his systems yet... He's still safe. We just need information first...

hiiiiii :33333 welcome to my sams nonsense. he's like Citrine, his life is terrible and I love tormenting him. very wonderful creature. he has to deal with his bestie having a virus now (shhh don't tell the people following my blog about this lore /j)
unfortunately you can't interact with him directly because ☝️ dimensions. he's a guy who's stuck in his own dimension so people who are not in his dimension are essentially just. texting him. but magic anons are still allowed so you can send him a box of cookies or something instead 🫶
