1ker1n Crot12 Goldblood he/h1m 7 2weep2! This is an Unreality Blog!

[foxgloveelectrosis]

OOC Post- blog Intro

Hey everyone on Grumblr! You know me from @bloodlesscecropia and my main, @ilickedyoursaltlamp

His name is IKERIN CROTIS, a seven-sweep-old goldblood living in a somewhat rural neighborhood on Alternia. He, his matesprit Kaezek, and his moirail Vritar are the sole members of a small rebellion group- they’ve got some mighty aspirations for their small numbers.

This blog is Ikerin’s sort of diary! He posts about how their plans are going, what his matesprit and moirail are working on outside of it, and vents about his day-to-day problems. Can’t wait to share more!

Ok, 2o la2t po2t wa2 a l111111ttle premature, cuz the next a2cen21on 12 a few n1ght2 away. But 1n the 2p1r1t of prepar1ng for the b1g day, would you guy2 want proper 1ntroduct1on2 from my quadrant2? L1ke 2tra1ght from them, what the1r deal2 are?

[foxgloveelectrosis]

1t’2 our la2t chance. My la2t chance. 1f anyone 12 out there, 1f anyone 12 l12ten1ng, thank you for be1ng here.

You’ll know we 2ucceeded 1f 1 update aga1n. We’re not look1ng to change everyth1ng all at once, but be the drop that 2tart2 the flood. Or at lea2t go down 2w1ng1ng, haha.

Maybe he doe2, but 1 don’t, 2o 1’m manag1ng my expectat1on2. V 12 do1ng the 2ame. He’2 butt1ng head2 w1th KK over e2cape route2. KK 12 2ay1ng we don’t need to plan for one becau2e the chao2 w1ll prov1de plenty of cover, and he doe2n’t l1ke V po1nt1ng out all the way2 our plan could fa1l.

And really, 1’m try1ng to be brave. Pu2h my fear down by remember1ng that 1f th1ng2 go 2outh, 1 wa2 doomed anyway. Call 1t a kam1kaze m1221on or whatever.

Ascension day sucks so bad when u get older. Every ascension UC more trolls u kno ascend & sometimes its even a quad. Matesprit is ascending soon. What if never see her again. Thought about requesting her as servant when I ascend. Feels so wrong. Only a TBlood anyway no guarantee theyd approve.

Not fair! Not fair! Not fucking fair! Trying 2 hold it in 4 their sake but been rlly upset & angry again lately. Idk how long can hide declining mental health. Shell B gone soon & Ill B alone.

[foxgloveelectrosis]

Felt. My mate2pr1t and mo1ra1l are a2 good a2 helm fodder when we a2cend, and 1’m cullba1t for 2ure. 1’m 2cared for them. 1 won’t be able to 2tay w1th them- 1 wouldn’t anyway2, but 1 have the mercy of dy1ng.

( okay. let me yap )

( to be quite frank, being culled is definitely better than helming at such a young age. so even the whole "he wouldve been culled if he didnt obey" is complete bullshit )

( as far as i know, helming while too young is quite literally torture. hell, ive heard helming as an adult is torture )

( and if you have a functioning brain, i think you can clearly see that he didnt make the choice himself )

( the empire and its associates have a way of manipulating basically anyone they want. if we know what we know, think about what might be going on behind closed doors )

( either way, even if a fuck ass fuschia commands you to do something absolutely stupid, theres always a way to get out of it. it just takes the courage )

( but whatever. you cant take back what youve said, and he probably cant take back his supposed "choice". so all anyone can do is wait for swirlys victory )

T0 b3 h0n3st, I didn't kn0w that th3r3 was any d3trim3nt t0 h3lming y0ung3r, s0 that was d3finat3ly my bad. Sh0uld hav3 d0n3 m0r3 r3s3arch. Its 0dd c0s 3v3ry0n3 is always talking ab0ut h0w bad h3lming is, but I can n3v3r find any appr0v3d s0urc3s ab0ut it... d3finit3ly n33d t0 l00k int0 that m0r3, s0 s0rry if I m3ss2d up by d0ing that.

I did r3alis3 that h3 didn't s33m t00 sur3 0f hims3lf, but I th0ught that 0 3ying anyways must hav3 b33n th3 b3st thing t0 d0, f0r his saf3ty. R3ally didn't think a fuchsia w0uld h3lm s0m30n3 3arli3r than was n3c3ssary just f0r fun (?¿?), s0 that's 0n m3.

Still think that 0b3ying is th3 b3st thing h3 c0uld hav3 d0n3 giv3n th3 circumstanc3s, but h3aring ab0ut h3lming 0nlin3 has l3ad m3 t0 b3li3v3 o sh0uld hav3 just l3t him mak3 th3 d3cisi0n 0n his 0wn

Thanks f0r th3 inf0 then!¡!

Edit: c0uld any0n3 h3lp m3 with s0m3 3mpir3-appr0v3d s0urc3s 0n th3 d0wnsid3s 0f h3lming, b3caus3 I can't find anything at all f0r s0m3 r3as0n?¿?

[foxgloveelectrosis]

^•w•^ unfurtunately furiend, you won’t find empire appurroved sources about the detriments of helming. believe me, i’ve looked, fur the sake of my moirail and our furiends. the empire doesn’t want trolls realizing that helming is like that, beclaws surprise surprise, then no one would be willing to do it. the best thing you can do is ask around, try to find helm pit survivors and hear their stories. ^•w•^

[foxgloveelectrosis]

^•w•^ hiiiii!!! ike left his blog open on his husktop, so hiiiiii grumblrr!!! i am the mysterious L, i like the alias he’s given me fur the sake of posting anonymously ^•w•^

^•w•^ he is crrrently being doted on extra by his matesprit and therefur cannot stop me from taking ovrr the blog fur a bit ^•w•^

^•w•^ it is SO nice to meet you! ^•w•^

[foxgloveelectrosis]

1 fuck1n hate 1t here 2omet1me2.

[twofoldcadaver]

now , do not take this as aggression or dislike towards what you're doing . but isn't it a recorded phenomenon that a young lowblood is easier to " convince " due to their inexperienced view of the world ? how can you be certain this is what it wants ?

Iamcet wants this. He w(-)uldnt have c(-)me back if he didn’t.

[terminalcalamity]

does he truly have a choice ?

or are the consequences of not obeying so severe or perhaps devastating that he cannot refuse ? does he have a choice or an illusion of choice ?

there's quite a difference .

[twofoldcadaver]

Y(-)u kn(-)w n(-)thing ab(-)ut it. He needs me

[foxgloveelectrosis]

He need2 the r1ght to choo2e for h1m2elf. To really choo2e, but we’re never afforded that r1ght 1f the rul1ng cla22 can help 1t. He doe2n’t know what 1t 12.

[twofoldcadaver]

Just adding my th0ughts: I think if y0ur sup3ri0rs 0rd3r y0u t0, th3n y0u pr0bably sh0uld h3lm, y0u d0nt hav3 much ch0ic3.

I'm n0 3xp3rt 0n th3 matt3r, but if y0u " miss the stability my life had." And "they pr_mised better living c_nditi_ns then bef_re. And they pr_bably aren’t lying." Th3n mayb3 it w0nt b3 t00 bad?¿?

Th3y w0nt f0rc3 y0u t0 d0 anything t00 bad, and th3yr3 highbl00ds, y0u kinda hav3 t0 list3n.

Wish y0u luck th0ugh!¡!

@es0t3ricxyl0ph0n3

Yeah. I’m packing my stuff up right n_w.

[foxgloveelectrosis]

1 don’t adv12e l12ten1ng to the tealblood 1n your a2kbox. H1ghblood2 are alway2 ly1ng. They l1e to keep u2 1n check becau2e 1f we l1ved 1n an hone2t world, they wouldn’t get to be 2o cruel to u2. 1t won’t be better, they’ll tell you 1t 12, and you’ll want to bel1eve 1t. You de2erve better than that. Run. Run far and fa2t.
