Hello and welcome to insurgentforces, a thrice-revamped Joe Protomen ask blog 😅 I am back after 5-or-so years after being bit by the ask blog bug again! Haha! (Can you believe nobody stole this url when I deleted? )
As you might imagine, this is an ask/aesthetic blog for Joe of The Protomen. Ask box is always open, so hit our line anytime!
This blog operates as a direct phone call or bulletin board system e-mail to Joe. Anonymous asks are labeled as phone calls, non-anonymous asks are labeled as e-mails. Responses will differ based on these factors! Transcripts of each conversation (asks) are uploaded to the ‘Bulletin Board System’ (this blog).
Submissions are treated as physical mail.
Notes:
Moderately headcanoned
Timeline set between the events of Keep Quiet and Light Up the Light
Anon asks are typically answered like a phone conversation. Emphasis on Joe’s dialect/speech patterns and descriptions of what he is doing (expressions, tone, tics, etc) while answering your call
Non-Anon asks are typically answered as if you are in a chat forum or e-mail thread. Typos, emoticons, and cat pics galore
Will contain sensitive topics present in Act II such as death, fascism, bodily harm, etc. All will be tagged appropriately
Suggestive asks are allowed; will be tagged and labeled under the mature content filter. Will not be posted in main fandom tags and will not be reblog-able. I reserve the right to delete anything that makes me uncomfortable
I do not participate in magic anons or big roleplay threads— I want the blog to be immersive yet casual, if that makes sense
I am, however, fine with timeline fuckery if you would like to send asks as other Protomen characters or an OC
Mod may occasionally post artwork
Mod may occasionally post photos or videos of the band
Asks may not always be answered in a timely fashion, please be patient 😔🙏
so does This City have an actual name or is it just This City
The faint rumble of a train is heard across the line. Joe cocks an eyebrow, chuckling incredulously into the receiver as he shifts to peek out of a dusty window in the old tenement.
“What? ‘Course it has a name!”
His gaze narrows in on the black locomotive over the horizon, its steel frame shining in the evening light.
“It’s Mo—”
Unfortunately, whatever he was about to say is completely engulfed by the bellow of the train horn. Oh well.
when did you learn to code? you dont seem like a tech guy! no offense haha !
“Ha! No, definitely not a tech guy. Doc’s been helpin’ me out. He’s a wizard with this kinda stuff.”
Joe takes a swig of his cheap beer between sentences and leans against a rusted filing cabinet, staring down at a pile of Light’s scattered notes beneath his feet.
“It was, uh— ‘was actually my Ma’s project. She was big into computers”, He explains.
Joe can feel the familiar lump creeping up his throat at the mention of his mother, but presses on.
“She dedicated a lot of her time to, uh, ‘reclaiming technology’, I think she called it. Used to build her own operating systems an’ sell ‘em for cheap to people in the neighborhood.”
He takes another sip, but struggles to swallow this time.
“But, y’know, The Big W didn’t like that very much. So—”
He then pauses, deliberating on his next words. The knot in his throat is growing unbearable.
“Uhm, anyway, she never finished the BBS, so I thought it’d be nice to get it published. It meant a lot to her.”
