What? Another Writing blog? 

[pyrobchilling]

Their long suffering associate, the "Sharpen Cleric that Sharpens you (badly)"

[artastic-foe]

Nooo!!! What have you all unleashed upon us!?!

[l4byr1nthz1]

dont forget the chromatic abberation warlock that chromatically abberates you

[vinnybox]

may I add Mystic Mosiac who turns your quality waaaaaaay down

[theo-window]

What did he do to deserve this

[rain-droplet]

punished by the council

[bardsgettingsilly]

Him? Oh that used to be the Contrast Cleric. He thought he could usurp the power of the I Mage Council and what seems excessive is necessary for his once staggering power.

[bardsgettingsilly]

Oh! So updates on the writing:

- I’m not very good at it

- I’m drafting a fanfic instead of my novel

- I have all the time in the world to work on it

It’s a Dragonball fanfic about my OC Time Patroller from Xenoverse 2. Idk how popular that game is around here, but I play on ps4 as a Saiyan named Barjorm— who I’m writing fanfic about. Don’t worry, I’ll post chapters and pictures here; that is if you like sci-fi adventure stories and bad pics taken in game.

Hey guys! Been here a while and have been giggling about the nonbinary Jakey stuff. Not bc I’m trans exclusionary or anything like that— but because I’m literally him. My name is Bard, by the way.

So why am I crawling out of the woodwork on this now? After years of you fuckers wishing my death, the validity of my queerness has come into question. So let me answer it for you.

I present as masc bc I don’t like how I look femme. That’s literally it. I have a weak chin and a strong set of shoulders, so if I were to shave and put on a dress I wouldn’t like how I look. Not a dysphoria thing, not getting oppressed. Anyone that has anything to say about me wearing a skirt, eyeliner, or nail polish when the urge strikes me has to build up the courage to say it to my big ass.

Is that not good enough? Alright. I generally don’t consider myself male or female, but sometimes I identify more as a Demi male. Technically that makes me some kinda bi-gender, gender-fluid, or two spirit label? I would LOVE if I had a good word for how my gender feels, but I honestly can’t be bothered to look more into it when non binary perfectly describes my experience. I don’t have a gender that is within the binary, ergo, non-binary.

Still not convinced? Okay, at this point, I don’t give a fuck. Everyone in the world calls me a man, a guy, or him; already— and guess what? It still counts. I cannot be fucked with the opinion of people that have made it clear that they don’t like me. So what? I’m goddamn amazing for the most part, and it reeks of jealousy. Furthermore, you don’t like me because you don’t like the things my partner talks about online? Grow the fuck up, go outside. Two fucking years of getting groups together to be smarmy and toxic online? to someone you’ve never met? Do better than that! You truly lack hatred if you can’t manage to find me on all the tagged posts and send ME hate asks. Cmon, I haven’t blocked you yet. I bet you lack imagination like all the others I’ve seen, given the fact that you can’t think of something else to do ON THE INTERNET for two whole years.

That’s all I wanted to say about it, I probably won’t be posting often, but if you plan on interacting with me know that I’m ACTUALLY Nonbinary Jakey. I hope you like my writing if I ever get around to posting it.

Tldr; I’m Nonbinary Jakey, and have been watching the whole time… I’m unimpressed.

"Sea Spire" by nugatorysheep Made by @Aggravating-Fix181

[bardsgettingsilly]

Oh right! It’s pride! Idk if I’m out here, but everyone should know that I’m queer as fuck.

Non-binary as far as I know, and Pansexual! I also count Polyamory as a queer identity for me.

So yeah! If you had trepidation over interacting with me because I seem like a cis straight man, don’t worry, I’m not! But if you are worried I’m gonna flirt with you? As long as you can consent, be afraid.

So I have come to the realization that the Dark Souls games all have a “good ending” and in every single one the best option is to let the lights go out and see what’s created next.

In Dark Souls, you’re tasked with linking the first flame and sustaining the light, allowing the current world to persevere. Once you defeat the Four Kings to bring their soul to a door what needs them and others to open, you meet Kaathe, who tells you that you are able to bring a new age— an age of Dark. He’s definitely lying to you in saying that the Dark would be a comfortable change, because it would essentially be the end. But look around Lordran! The place is ruined at every turn, dying and grief stricken. In my opinion the best bet would be to shine light on another land.

Then we go to Drangleic in Dark Souls 2. Not quite as ruined, but the curse that haunted your life and death in Dark Souls is also affecting this land. When it comes to the final battle against the Dark in Drangleic, which is actively fighting to gain control of this world, you’re faced with the same choice again! Except this time, the flames are linked by a Throne, and it becomes clear that you must fight for the hollows to become their king. Find them a new way to exist which isn’t reliant on how much flame one can get to.

Then we see the end of things in the third game. Dark Souls 3 presents the flame, the light and comfort that come with it, and the dark- a new start for a world at its death throes. Eventually our final undead will have a third choice as well, one to become Lord of Hollows in Lothric as well! The flame of man can finally be extinguished in favor of an age of Hollows.

It might just be me and my want for a continuation for a good story, but these games culminate into a love letter to the players. I love the idea of continually linking the flame, until the world has become a mass of ash and suffering as much as the next guy, but it didn’t work too well for Lothric.

STEVEN UNIVERSE RETURNED!!

They dressed him like a damn Gurren Lagann character by the end, how did nobody believe me??

So I picked up this Norse Magic book from The Half Price and I’m unsure about it so far. Mostly because I came across an entry about Loki, and it seemed to imply he’s nothing if not a trickster. I don’t think that’s accurate, having a relationship with Odin/Loki, myself, I think there’s much more to it.

Loki is involved with Asgard on most levels. He’s the reason for the quirks of the most legendary weapons, he’s the reason Jotunheim and Asgard have a pretty decent wall between them, and with evidence of his friendly relationship with Freyja— I wouldn’t be surprised to find out he brokered peace between the Vanir and the Aesir.

His reputation as a trickster isn’t unwarranted, however: as Loki *did* orchestrate the death of Baldr. Noting that, why isn’t Odin considered a trickster of equal footing? When Loki was punished, Odin quite creatively left Loki in a similar position- with two dead sons and a lifetime of pain from it.

I’m not sure where I’m going with this, but Odin once said that if he gets a drink then Loki must get the same. They are considered blood brothers from some story we don’t know about? It seems like Loki gets a Satan treatment when really he’s more like a casual Odin. The mediator between the Everyman and the *heavy* ritual of his brother. Maybe that’s the essence of Loki, making his way into my post that means little and has no conclusion.

[bardsgettingsilly]

I was thinking about the story of Ymir: he was hoarding all the resources of the universe then was killed violently by Odin and his brothers, then he was spread across the universe to make the physical world we see today. Or something along those lines.

I was also thinking of The Singularity from which the Universe was born. When innumerable years ago it exploded so violently that the cosmos itself is still reeling from the blast. We only know because we are part of the broken singularity and can observe where we are.

Who would win in a fight between Paul Atreides of Dune or Itachi Uchiha of Naruto?

Just had the thought that it may be more of an even fight than initially imagined.

[bardsgettingsilly]

Charcuterie boards seem to satisfy a primitive need to eat ants off a log while vocalizing with my nestmates.

[bardsgettingsilly]

Not really having the best time, so I think I’m gonna just disappear and get slutty. More at 6.

[bardsgettingsilly]

Gonna tell my kids this is Naruto

Concept: Depressing dystopian factory where everything is gray and samey and the workers are called by their employee numbers by an ominous deep voice.

But it's a really great place to work with high salaries, excellent benefits, and a flexible working schedule with plenty of paid leave. They just like the dystopian aesthetic.

[charlesoberonn]

PA system: Worker 72094. Leave your working station and report to the Supervisor immediately.

Supervisor: Worker 72094. You failed to meet your quota for 3 weeks in a row now.

Worker 72094: I can explain!

Supervisor: You're clearly burned out. I heard you moved recently. Take a mandatory two weeks paid vacation to readjust and report to me then.

Worker 72094: I... thank you?

[charlesoberonn]

Shadowy Board Member: Worker 11335. Do you know why you were summoned?

Worker 11335: Is it because I badmouthed the company during lunch?

Shadowy Board Member: That is correct. We are very displeased, Worker 11335...

Shadowy Board Member: ...with ourselves, that is. We hold ourselves to high standards of excellence which we clearly failed to meet. We were hoping you could advise us on necessary improvements. You will receive appropriate compensation, of course.

Job Interviewer: *wearing a featureless mask and speaking through a voice changer* Welcome to Hopeless Inc., Worker 100100.

Worker 100100: What's with the mask?

Job Interviewer: I'm shy 🤭

[charlesoberonn]

Of course. All Hopeless Inc. employees are due-paying members of Mindless Drones United.

It's a very responsive union that cares about its members on an individual level. They just love the dystopian hivemind aesthetic.

[bardsgettingsilly]

Y’all ever wonder how calloused, mangled, and generally terrible Spider-Man’s feet look?

[glamrockmike]

are you five nights at fucking kidding me
