Here you ask Sozo things. Sozo will give answers. Bring Sozo menticide mushrooms maybe? Sozo will do anything for mushrooms. ANYTHING.

[ask-sozo]

Welcome to Sozo’s ask blog!

Ask questions! Will do Sozo’s best to answer! Rules and info below cut for mobile users! 

Rules and Info

Be patient with me please. I am a disabled artist with limited time and income, I cannot always spare time for side projects like this blog. I will get to your ask eventually don’t worry!

Be appropriate! You can bully, flirt, befriend, etc but I will not have sexually explicit content on my blog!

No god mode asks. Sozo will occasionally indoctrinate or kill askers. Its a bit. Don’t take it personally. Don’t try to get around it. You can still send asks if an ask you sent results in the end of background character.

Please don’t spam me! I will block you if you repetitively send the same ask. If you send an ask and it isn’t answered its nothing personal; I either haven’t gotten to it yet or I don’t know what to draw the art for the ask.

Be aware! This blog will feature sensitive topics such as but not limited to: religious imagery, substance abuse, animal death, gore, mind control, cult mentions. I will not be tagging these topics as the blog is literally about these things.

Blog is run by OncePureVessel.

While it is not required to keep the blog running, it can help a lot to consider tipping the artist!

Sozo, are you alive? We haven't heard from you in months!

Most recognizably I'm a background character from this blog. Not that many posts featuring me ever went live. But actually...

I started this blog shortly after the release of Cult of the Lamb. The game as well as Sozo were very important to me. One of my very best friends also started a blog and I wanted to be as cool as them. I was genuinely inspired so I planned a story that would touch on my version of Sozo's origins, acknowledging his flaws, his eventual canonical death, and some other stuff.

I love this blog. I do. I'm so happy I made it. This blog, and the server I made because of its success and my desire to meet more people of this shared interest changed my life. A lot honestly. Mostly for the better in fact. My personal experience with the fandom has been mostly good aside from a couple freak incidents and the usual undesirables with come with fandom life.

I can't really afford the time and energy I wanted to on this project. I don't trust anyone with my story enough to let someone else run the blog either. My health and my financial situation are really in the way here. Even when I feel well enough and driven to work on it I cant really afford to be working on this blog over a project that could bring in income. I've debated making a tip jar but this blog is so inconsequential and dead that it always seemed pointless which only extended the length between posts.

Some of you may remember that a bit ago I posted that this blog was officially resurrecting. This was the intent. However my mental and physical health took a dive and I was unable to follow through. I want to write my story. I want to give you all something to enjoy but...

I just don't think it can be done right now. I'd be so happy if i could actually bring it back one day. But I can't do it for free right now.

How much shrooms is too much shrooms?

The only bad amount of mushrooms is not enough!

[ask-sozo]

SOZO!!! I HEARD ONE OF THE MUSHROOMLINGS TALKING SMACK ABOUT YOU!

Betrayal won't be taken lightly.

[ask-sozo]

SOZO I HAVE BROUGHT 2MOOSHROOMS, NOW YOU CAN HAVE AS MANY MUSHROOMS AS YOU LIKE!

Hello you two! Welcome! We'll take the best of care of you!

[ask-sozo]

two questions.

Sozo what's 9+10

do you know of the Cortinarius violaceus?

It is 19. Obviously.

Cortinarius violaceus, common name; Violet Webcap. A lovely purple mushroom. Typically with a tall stipe and textured cap. Some say they are edible but just not worth it as they do not taste as distinct as they look. However consuming them may cause extreme stomach pain and other adverse health affects. It is recommended not to consume any type of cortinarius mushrooms due to this common trait.

//theres a killer heatwave in my area right now so i may not post for a couple days. dont worry, I'll be back <3

[ask-sozo]

Ask-Sozo is back! This is not a drill! After some trial answers I have decided its time to return for real!

[ask-sozo]

hey sozo what's the most fucked up mushroom fact you know

Sozo knows many things about mushrooms.

The most poisonous mushroom in the world is Amanita Phalloides; also known as the Death Cap. Even just a fraction of one can kill a person. It is a slow and excruciating death. Severe illness can develop as early as 6 hours after ingestion, but it usually takes longer, i.e. 36 hours or more. Severe liver damage is usually apparent after 72 hours. Eventually all your organs would shut down. Death usually occurs after a week or more.

Long and painful poisoning. Guaranteed death. Considered one of the most terrifying ways to go. It will be fun to do a live study.

[ask-sozo]

how did you get the mycelium 'fluff' to grow that way then? and what happens if you need to get it off for any reason?

It grows fine on its own so long as it isn't crushed. It thrives in Sozo's care. Sozo is glad you take an interest in his mycel-

Removing it would hurt it. It cannot be removed. Sozo needs it to stay safe.

[ask-sozo]

Hi Sozo! What's that around your neck? Fluff or mold? 👀

It's mycelium. Mold is a foul and unhealthy fungus of an entirely different family from menticide. Sozo's "fluff" is menticide mycelium.

[ask-sozo]

Sozo, have you ever tried to consume the mushrooms in other forms? Such as cooking them in different ways or baking them into various types of goods?

In fact you can put them in meals if you'd like. You can boil them down into a serum and make edibles or capsules. They're rather versatile.

Sozo recommends eating them raw. Being fresh or dried doesn't matter much. Preparing them cooks away their potency. The effects are much weaker and require more mushroom per person for the desired effect. Do not perform your rituals with cooked menticide mushrooms. They will not last long enough to be worth it.

Hey Sozo, do you ever *strobes rainbow while making unholy demon screeching noises*

w... what...?

[ask-sozo]

message from the mod;

sorry for the inactivity here, I have not abandoned the blog by any means im just very busy with work and my own health issues.

I will be revamping the blog at some point in the near future. specifically I will be making rules to read before interacting, a before you follow, and a tab that shows you how and where to support the artist (myself) if you can and want to so that I may afford to spare more time on this blog.

that being said i may have to purge a majority of the ask backlog because there are many that do not fit in the ask criteria I will be accepting once the change has been put through. changes are hopefully to be complete by the 20th of June.

[ask-sozo]

Hello Sozo. What happened to your antennae?

you know... sozo does not know why... they just fell off one day.

[ask-sozo]

Sozo! i need your help! I've been bitten by a poisonous snake! Is there any way for it to stop the poison?

Please hand over any mushrooms before you lay down in the hole.
