Echo in the Void

25, kinky asexual, definitely not human.

[echo-inthevoid]

Ok! New pinned post time I think.

Hello! The page is run by a system! If you don't know what that is this is a great resource for allies of systems/plurals. Also, This is an endogenic accepting space. *Taps the sign* We accept others lived experiences here. Fakeclaiming and other bs of that type will not be tolerated.

Also, this blog occasionally contains unmarked nsfw. If it is my original art then it will always be marked, but reblogs I can give no promises on. If you don't want to see that then probably don't follow. This is also a nasty freak enjoyer space so be prepared.

Currently our system is made up of:

Elias(He/him)- Host, Elias Bouchard fictive, not very like his source at this point, Faggot /positive

Jon(he/him)- Handles emotional regulation, Jonathan Sims fictive, also not very like his source at this point, likes bugs :3

Vargas(he/him)- teenage angst wolf therian, very old alter, rarely fronts, named after Scriabin Vargas/Edgar Vargas (from that one Zarla fic) but not a fictive, likes wolves and foxes and emo music.

Echo(they/them)- previous host, very tired void being, mostly a very chill background manager. the systems historian.

Emory(he/him): Crisis Management. Back alley cyberpunk doctor. Very fashionable.

Sec-unit(he/it): fictive of Murderbot from the Murderbot diaries. Unsure whether he'll stick around. More male aligned than his source.

King in Yellow (He/It) - spiritual protector. is very fucking weird about religion generally. God of madness, creativity, art, and dreams. Sometimes called "king in gold" to differentiate him from the character of the same name. Sources from a number of different stories that involve the king in yellow but not really a fictive.

Child(they/it): ADHD incarnate. Yells a lot. Likes shiny things and shopping, hates medicine. A menace.

Retired alters(don't front anymore/have fused/split/gone to sleep/etc but still tagged for sometimes):

Batul(he/him): alter from while we still thought we were a singlet. His primary job was to walk us between classes instead of having a meltdown. A cute pet.

Doe(he/they/it): gender-weird--prey-trauma-creature. Had a very particular vibe that we still really like.

And lastly, here is a quick rundown of my commonly used tags and what they mean, mostly for my own organizational purposes but might be helpful if you're looking for something specific:

#system posting: any post that reminds us of our system in some way.

#[alter's name]-like : this reminds us of a particular alter and/or that alter especially liked that post and/or that's who's fronting right now. So, for example "elias-like" or "Jon-like". King in Yellow's name is shortened so his tag is just "king-like", sec-unit is almost always tagged without the dash so "secunit-like" is his tag.

#[alter's name] : for when an alter actually says something either in a post or in the tags.

#myart : should contain all my original art.

#echo's stuff : should contain all my original posts of any sort.

please read this even if you're not indian. especially if you're not indian.

you've seen the jokes. india is "dirty", indians are "everywhere", why don't they fix their own country. ok. let me tell you why, and what's happening right now while nobody's watching.

first, the history you skipped: britain ruled india for two centuries and drained it. economist utsa patnaik's research estimates around $45 trillion in today's money was taken. the india that got independence in 1947 was one of the poorest countries on earth. every "why is india like this" question starts there. you don't get to profit off a robbery and then mock the crime scene.

now, what's happening RIGHT NOW:

in may the question paper for NEET leaked. that's the national medical entrance exam. over 2.2 million students took it. cancelled. years of studying, families' savings poured into coaching, gone overnight because someone sold the paper. students died by suicide after. these were kids who wanted to be doctors.

and out of that came a protest movement. a gen z group called the cockroach janta party, started by a 30 year old named abhijeet dipke, got 22 million instagram followers within DAYS. they've been doing a sit-in at jantar mantar in delhi demanding education minister dharmendra pradhan resign.

and then there's sonam wangchuk. if you've watched 3 idiots, he's the real engineer the character was based on. built solar schools in ladakh. invented ice stupas so himalayan villages have water. spent his whole life on education. he's 59 and he's been on hunger strike for 17+ days now. reporters went to see him this week and he was too weak to talk. and the troll armies are calling him "anti national" and "foreign funded". a man starving himself for other people's children. that's the thing here, anyone who asks a question is suddenly a traitor.

it's not one incident, it's everywhere you look:

• infrastructure worth thousands of crores failing within months of the ribbon cutting. tunnels collapsing in regions where heavy rain is a guarantee, not a surprise.

• youth unemployment near 10% for ages 15 to 29, 13.6% in cities. in a country of 1.42 billion where more than half the population is young.

• only about the top 3% of indians earn above 10 lakh a year. meanwhile billionaire wealth keeps ballooning and the headlines celebrate it.

• manipur burned for over two years. an ethnic conflict, tens of thousands displaced, and the prime minister barely said the word manipur while it happened.

• journalists raided. critics' houses bulldozed. activists sitting in jail for years without trial under laws like UAPA. our press freedom ranking has cratered.

• even the petrol is a fight now, ethanol blending pushed through while drivers complain about their engines and get no straight answers.

and through all of it, the PM, who came to power on religious polarisation (americans, sound familiar?), travels abroad for photo ops and has not held one single open press conference in over a decade. not one.

what i'm asking:

if you're not indian: share this. our media mostly won't cover any of it because the big outlets are owned by the same billionaires the government serves. the only reason wangchuk's fast is getting any coverage is people refusing to look away.

if you ARE indian: speak up even if you're comfortable. especially if you're comfortable. join the protests. add to this, correct me, translate it. staying quiet is a choice when nothing in this post touches your life.

india is not "dirty". india was robbed, and it's being robbed again, from the inside this time. but it's also the country where a 59 year old will starve for strangers' kids and 22 million young people will rally behind a party literally named after cockroaches, because cockroaches survive everything.

we can still save her. but only loudly.

reblog. share. don't scroll past.

jon really went through a checklist of the most traumatic and horrifying events humanly possible. he was hired with the intent purpose of suffering. his job is to be Miserable and In Pain and Scared.

and only after going through the worst things imaginable, he learns that BECAUSE he suffered, the world will suffer. not only did his suffering not serve a productive purpose, but it brought about the apocalypse.

imagine you're jonathan sims, you've spend the past few years getting kidnapped and tortured and watching all your friends die, and you receive a letter in the mail that says 'hello jon :) remember all that trauma you went through? well now it's time for you to condemn all humanity to eternal suffering. if only you hadn't suffered, then the world wouldn't suffer. but you went through every horrible thing imaginable, and now. look at the world that has come into being through all the blood and tears you shed.'

this lamb keeps trying to sacrifice itself even though no one really needs or wants it to do that

I feel like simply calling JK Rowling a transphobe isn't strong enough anymore. Like. This is not your grandpa calling you by your deadname at a restaurant kind of transphobic. This is her wanting to eradicate all trans people (with an extra special hatred towards trans women specifically). This is her trying just that by personally funding transphobic hate groups with millions to push around laws in the UK. It is not hyperbolic to call her a dangerous, genocidal maniac.

It's not about cancelling a problematic writer. It's about literally trying to save lives by denying her as much money and power as possible.

yeah whatever

Eye jewellery this, green glow that

Or, you know, the signs could be subliminal. Like the creeping and uncertain paranoia he worships. ARE you being watched? Has it just been a stressful day?

[yarns-nstuff]

I made a chart for it!

I realised while making it that the pattern on the sock isn't always symmetrical or identical, so I had to be a little creative. But I managed to get it pretty close, I think!
