Spitting Into Storms

Why don’t you ask John, the shy pervert? I think I remember him asking the same thing….. maybe you two can figure it out and learn something new for science.

Well the fungal filth clearly don’t, as they replicate via spores and such. So at the most it is by strain. Though, perhaps what they view are sex and what we view as sex is also different. What happens in the dream palace is implied there and in Manufactory to have some level of equivalent intimacy.

Also fuck this is gonna be Eblis’ non-existant butthole all over again.

I’m not sure if they would have any form of sex, as they all reproduce asexually.

But if you use the definition of sex as intimacy, although you couldn’t have six with the filth, the filth can have sex with you. Like you know. tentacles n stuff.

And hey , I thought my explanation to that bizarre question was good!

I’m just saying its very heavily implied by John to have counted as some sort of sexy times. Maybe it’s like “incorporeal cosmic horror” first base.

I, however, prefer to think the filth is all about those spores. :| The closest thing we have to procreation is the fungal filth, after all. Or it replicates like a virus… it certain gets compared to viruses and bacteria enough.

Well, the filth itself reproduces asexually and thus does not have a sex drive.

That was before John,t hough. And now that they have a human brain in their midst, know they know all about the icky love hormones.

The next time youre fighting filth, just remember John is probably jacking it in the dream.

*mumbles something about the black worm jism*

Good news!

Fellow The Secret World fans...

… Was the moon landing fake?

I mean, “Everything is True” and that’s one of the big ones.

Thoughts?

Nope.

Ragnar Tornquist once talked about this, actually. It’s one of the rules he said to NEVER EVER EVER put in the game. No fake moon landing conspiracies. Why? Because it’s disrespectful to the astronauts.

So yep, no fake moon landing in TSW, ever. And that’s not what Everything is True means. There’s a city on the moon, so obviously the moon landing can’t be fake either. :)

#this utterly belongs here

Everything is true means the moon landing really did happen. Because the landing itself is true.

Gamers for Girls’ Education

“I was a soldier in Afghanistan during the conflict. I saw girls trying to go to school and I saw violent attacks on those schools. This is something devastating I saw and I want to help these girls. They deserve an education and they want it so badly.” Beth Barnes is an extraordinary woman who has taken a traumatizing experience abroad and used it as motivation to create a better world by rallying The Secret World community of online gamers to advocate for girls’ education.

Two original prints featured in the art book TSW created as a gift to donors.

An active member of The Secret World (TSW) gaming community, Beth realized that the gaming world is an often untapped or overlooked community of changemakers and the perfect place to start raising her voice for girls. The Secret World is a massively multiplayer online role-playing video game by Norwegian video game developer creator Funcom. Though gameplay, social media and hosting podcasts Beth began telling people about Malala’s story and explaining the issues surrounding girls’ education.

After receiving overwhelming support, Beth created an original digital art book featuring prints of characters from TSW as incentive for people to donate to her TSW Malala Project fundraising page. Beth began by reaching out to well known comic book artists and online artists through DevianArt, teaching them about Malala and asking them to consider donating their time and art to the project. Fifteen people from around the world helped put the final book together. “[The art] embodies the spirit of this project and it was amazing watching this vision catching fire,” said Beth. “It was a phenomenal response all done by word of mouth without any corporate sponsorship. Players jumped on Twitch to raise money and were constantly coming up with all sorts of ideas to help.”

Creativity is boundless — use yours to rally those around you to do good. Just imagine how much change you could effect if your whole community raised its voice for the more than 60 million girls who are currently not able to attend school.

Beth’s mission was to raise $10,000, but thanks to tireless efforts of the TSW community, the group surpassed its goal after final boost of support from Funcom and ended their campaign at an impressive total of $11,319. What an amazing achievement! Beth is thrilled with how the campaign played out and plans to dedicate even more of her time to helping girls on the ground go to school.

Our passionate supporters continue to amaze us. Beth’s story proves once more, that a single voice has the capacity to inspire an entire community to act! Malala Fund is tremendously thankful to all who participated in the TSW Malala Project efforts and those around the world who actively work in tandem with our mission to provide every girl a full 12 years of safe, quality education.

The Obscure Egyptian God Medjed and His Bizarre Afterlife on the Japanese Internet

Source: ANN

omfg, WHAT.

emthehistorygirl

this has confused me a great deal

eastiseverywhere

From ANN:

The Book of the Dead is an ancient Egyptian text describing the passage of departed souls into the afterlife and listing the spells they must recite to proceed through Duat (the Realm of the Dead). In Spell 17, the god Medjed is mentioned: “I know the name of that Smiter among them, who belongs to the House of Osiris, who shoots with his eye, yet is unseen.” He is not referred to in any other context.

Medjed remained buried in obscurity until 2012, when the British Museum held an exhibit on ancient Egypt at the Mori Arts Center Gallery in Tokyo. Visitors were surprised by the god due to his unusual appearance and a certain similarity to the character Obake no Q-Taro (seen below).

Japanese netizens quickly found Medjed to be cute, and began creating fan art of him.

By 2013, Medjed had become a full-fledged meme, and took on a life of his own, as memes often do. His fearsome role as Osiris’s guardian (he is said to be able to fly and eats human hearts) and cute, simple appearance allow for a versatile range of depictions. He is even called “the oldestyuru-chara” (regional mascots like Funassyi and Kumamon).

Although the 5th image depicts Osiris from Puzzles and Dragons, Medjed (known as Medjedra in game) tags along with him for his two evolutions. It’s really cute actually.

Even better, you can get Medjedra as a separate monster for your team.

best of all: he becomes this

So this is filed under ‘subtle.png’ in my images folder for a while now.

I’ll leave it up to you guys to decide the level of sarcasm I’m working with.

#honestly #the only good Templar

I have not really played TSW for months. My main got stuck on one of the random floors of the Orochi tower and I’ve been too tired and disinterested to try to figure out how to get past it. Doesn’t seem to be any way to reset it either, as its my first time through.

As for my alts, they’re only fun as a way of taking a breather from my main. They’re just a chore while I’m out of enthusiasm.

I only bring this up because I was thinking about playing again, but then I remembered and got depressed. Maybe if I get it off my chest I’ll feel a little better. Also, to explain why this blog is so neglected.

“Among sailors, some swear the Earth is hollow, but for a stormy, sunless ocean flowing within its circumference, where sunken ships sail.” -QuietPineTrees

so I have a question: If someone supposedly stole a schoolbus, filled it with plastic explosives and tacos, drove it through Agartha, and then blew it the fuck up right in front of the Council of Venice's entrance, would the council of Venice blame the Dragon, or blame the person that drove the bus? sincerely, a blue bee.

This is wild.

And nope, they’re falsely accuse the Phoenicians like last time (See: 2011 CoV Systems Malfunction, The Fool’s Journey pt. 2) as that’s the easiest thing to do.

In which case, be afraid. The Phoenicians don’t take kindly to that.

That’s too crass for the Dragon, and everyone knows it. We’d more likely manipulate the council into sealing off the entrance themselves through an elaborate series of incidental actions that ultimately lead to a Filth incursion through the portal.

Which we wouldn’t do/haven’t already set into motion. The Council’s portal is safe from such a plot.

Not really, no.

There are some amazing Night Vale merit badges, too, if you like this sort of thing.

Our faction handlers should start giving out these.
