I think "what if we molded ourselves to each other perfectly" has legs as a kink dynamic if we could ever get anyone to take off their compulsive "understand any kink dynamic through dominance and submission" glasses
The best part about it genuinely is your movements get scary synced. Put all your energy into mirroring and learning and being suitable to each other and suddenly you get bored and miss them and they message that they were just thinking about you. Suddenly a cup of water appears in your hand when you're thirsty. It's weird and a little bit magical.
It takes time to set up. But it's super achievable and you can definitely start with like. Basic mimicry and hypnosis to get your feet wet. Later you start discussing your every boundary and value, nothing kept sacred, full agreement almost always the goal. This isn't exactly SSC but like. Per that other post neither is heavy obedience training. I think that's actually the hard part - society says it's fucked up to spend all your time devoted to someone, and a lot of people don't know how to reconcile wanting that without painting the person they're devoted to as evil and saying it's ok because it's consensual and the fact that it's evil is hot. You do not have to think this is evil. You can just staple your identity and sense of reality to someone and have them do the same back and watch your life get weirder. Make strange paracosms together. Lose track of who did what and whose tongue is whose. Join me in knowing the feeling of "I would answer that but I store that information in my other body."
I need more of you to become inseparable and borderline interchangeable. It's way too messy to be realistic for most but it's way too fun and achievable to be as underrepresented as it is.
struggling trans + disabled household trying to keep it together this month
hello everyone. i hate having to make these posts every time, but the past two weeks have been just a successive continuation of punches to the balls.
i am the sole breadwinner of a household of two soon to be three, and after rent, food, and meds, we generally have maybe 400 dollars a month to hold things together, of which we usually can save 0, maybe 20 on a really good month. about a week ish ago, a cat in our care died, which cost $1300 for the vet visits as she declined + cremation. two weeks before that, my parents heard my laptop broke and decided to chip in for a new desktop, and then did not get me a screen, mouse, keyboards, and speakers, because "i could handle it", which cost about another $250 ish. before that, $250 on laptop repairs.
and also yesterday i had to send my laptop into the shop again for repairs. $100 just to peek inside to see if the charger port was broken (in which case they could reseat it), $150 to just yank the charger port out and replace it. i said fuck it and paid the $150 because what the fuck else can i do, my livelihood depends on having access to a computer.
meds are expensive when you are disabled and in a wheelchair. so imagine my unpleasant surprise when today i found out that suddenly, between the start and end of june, my insurance stopped covering <medicine x> which, btw, out of pocket costs fucking $1350 i'm so god damn mad. thankfully i could coupon it down a little but it's still just shit on the pile after shit on the pile after shit on the pile after shit on the pile and now i have to either go off of it (extremely bad) or argue with insurance (bad and slow). and my boyfriend needs help moving out, which is its own thing that i need to help with, so he can get here.
i am applying to jobs every god damn day. you would think a career developer with a well-stocked portfolio of professional projects and excellent references would be able to get something, anything, even a contract position. nothing. i am trying and trying and trying and i hate begging on the internet but i am at the end of my damn rope here and it's causing me enough physical stress that it's degrading my already perilous health, given my autoimmune disease.
so. if you have anything to chip in, i know this corner of the internet is just gay people passing 5 dollars back and forth until it vanishes down a hole. but it would be really, really appreciated. every new catastrophe i've had over the past like three years has just drained more and more of my savings and i do not know how much longer we can weather it before it starts getting bad. it's just too much for me to handle.
Go to paypal.me/bstdev and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.
as always, please do NOT donate if you cannot afford to do so. but, if you could reblog, that would be really appreciated.
A short lesson in deductive reasoning, using a Deltarune puzzle.
The answer is "the lake." Everyone knows that - the game told us. What fewer people have done is prove it from the structure of the wrong answers, and the proof is more interesting than the solution, because the apparatus accidentally teaches a complete course in formal deduction. Every rejected answer is a true statement about the world, written in the negative. Read correctly, the 1,229 wrong answers draw you a map.
Three principles before we start, because they're the actual lesson:
Define your universe of discourse before you eliminate. You cannot cross answers off a list until you know what set you're choosing from. Most reasoning fails here.
A partition must be exhaustive. If your categories don't tile the whole space, an answer can hide in the gap.
Sort your evidence by what it constrains. Not every "no" narrows the location. Some narrow the referent, some the type, some the intent, some reveal only the speaker. Treating every rejection as equivalent is the most common error in informal reasoning.
Full post under the Read More.
Step 0: The subject is not who you assume
Rounds 1 and 2 asked: "How long did it take her to smile?" The accepted durations top out at 16 years, glossed as "the first time she ever smiled in her life." A count up, bounded by a lifetime - so the subject is sixteen. That is Noelle, not Dess (who is Asriel's age, college-aged). The smile is Noelle's.
Round 3 changed the question to "Where will it take place next?" - and the apparatus explicitly severs the new "it" from the smile: "Upon her face" → "Didn't mean her smile." So whatever "it" is, it is not the smiling, it is a different event. And "next" (textual, from the email subject line "Re: Where will it take place next?") presupposes a previous occurrence: "it" recurs.
One more pin: the new "her" is also not Noelle. The reply to a pizza answer narrates "Noelle cooked some dough, and they're sitting together" - holding Noelle at third-person arm's length. You don't refer to the subject of your sentence as "they". The whole puzzle runs on the reader importing "Noelle" and "smile" from Round 2 into a Round 3 that means neither.
Step 1: Establish the universe of discourse
Before eliminating where it happens, find the set of places that exist. The apparatus defines it for us, in two replies that bound the world from outside and inside:
"DELTARUNE" → "But of course." Naming the entire world is vacuously correct. It is the "where on Earth?" / "Earth" move: true with probability 1, resolving nothing. This reply declares the domain - the set every valid answer must belong to.
"Beyond the setting sun," "the highest peak one can dream of" → "Couldn't you choose someplace a little more… local?" These are not rejected as false. They are rejected as out of bounds - they name coordinates the world does not contain.
Together these establish something formal logic demands and most theories skip: the world is bounded, and the boundary is real. Off-map answers are rejected not as wrong but as nonexistent.
Assertion: Hometown is not a remnant of a larger world - it is the extent of the world. There is no "outside" to disambiguate against, the way a dream has no offstage, and contains solely itself (or a video game, but I am not claiming Hometown is Literally A Video Game). That is why the puzzle is solvable: the domain is small, closed, and complete.
Step 2: Eliminate inward, by shell
"Couldn't you choose someplace more local?" - beyond the setting sun; the highest peak one can dream of
Off-map. Outside what exists. Rejected not as false but as nonexistent.
"But of course." - DELTARUNE
The whole world. Vacuously true; names the domain, resolves nothing.
"You have to be more specific than that." - hometown; where the sun sets; where she belongs
A region. Correct neighborhood, no address.
"There are trees, sure. But that could be anywhere." - the forest
A non-unique feature. True of the target and its surroundings - fails to pick out the point.
Ding ding ding. - The Lake / The Shore / beneath the lake
The coordinate.
The fourth row is the subtle one and the best teaching case: the answer "the forest" is not false - the lake is wooded. It's rejected for non-uniqueness. Describing a point by a property it shares with everything around it fails to pick it out. This is the difference between a true statement and an identifying one - the heart of what "be specific" means in logic.
The five rows form a complete partition of a bounded set: off-map → whole-map → region → non-unique-feature → point. Nothing falls in the gaps. That is why the proof closes rather than merely suggests.
Additional replies based on location:
"Is that really what you're hoping?" - The Shelter / The Depths
The location is not at the Shelter, but you might think it is. Hold that thought for later.
"That's what you want, isn't it? Candy apples, square dancing… That's what all of this was for! … Well, it was always going to be this way. The only people that walk this path… are those who have their face so close to the road they can't even see where they're going! … But, well. If we're lucky, maybe there's a chance you'll still get lost along the way…" - The Festival
The location is not at the Festival. "The only people who walk this path" - i.e, the only people who go to the Festival - are those who stay close to the road. This is not accessible on the normal route (we'll get back to this, too).
"I get it. She feels a little under the weather and the whole thing is called off. … maybe not." - The Hospital
The location is not the Hospital, and "it" is something that might want to be called off for some reason.
"Wouldn’t you want it to be someplace different?" - Her House / The Holiday Manor
"It" is not at the Holiday house, and you would want "it" to not be there, too.
Step 3: The replies that constrain the answer's nature, not its location
A second axis. These don't move you across the map; they tell you what kind of thing you're locating:
Time answers ("at the end," "tomorrow," "1434 minutes") → "It's where, not when." The event is a place, not a moment. Any reading that treats it as a point in time is refused at the door.
Other chapters' dark worlds (Ice Palace, The Roaring, Cyber City) → "Not at all." Flat denial. It is categorically none of these.
Chapter 5's own dark world (Flower King, Field of Pink and Gold, the fountain, "the dark") → "I have some bad news for you… you'll figure it out yourself." Note the softer register - wrong, but adjacent. Hold that thought.
Internal/metaphysical answers ("in her heart," "inside her SOUL") → "Would they really fit in there?" The event is physical; the body has a definite size. No "she lives on inside us" reading survives.
"Nowhere" → "That's not what the question is about." The event is not optional. It has occurred at some point.
Step 4: The replies graded on time, which order the recurrence
Two answers are judged not on correctness but on when - and they give the recurrence its sequence:
"With Susie" → "Too late!" On the normal route, Noelle goes to the lake with Susie and stays on the shore. "It" is foreclosed. Crucially: the shore-visit does not trip the event (the only time Noelle is at the lake with Susie is in the normal route, which is "Too late!", and Dess is never with Susie to our knowledge) - so "it" is not proximity to the water. Otherwise, Susie would not be too late. The event cannot occur on the normal route.
"The place where it snowed" → "You know that isn't until later." A real future instance - not this one. The event will occur again at a later date. (Possible reference to Snowdin in Undertale? but that's severely speculative).
Step 5: The reply that reveals the speaker, not the answer
For completeness - and to model the discipline of recognizing evidence that constrains nothing about the location: romantic-possessive answers ("by my side," "when she forgets Kris was even a person before Me," "at the wedding") → "Gross." Communal answers ("with her friends," "happy town") → "Aww." These locate nothing. They characterize the grader: warm toward Noelle's friendships, revolted by her possession. A disciplined reasoner notes this and sets it aside from the location proof. Knowing which evidence is irrelevant is itself a deductive skill.
The Solution
Assemble what survived every filter. "It" is:
physical (must fit a body) -
at a specific, named, in-world point (not off-map, not the whole map, not a region, not a non-unique feature) -
in the light world (more local than the cosmic answers) -
that is not the smile, not a moment in time, not any dark world, not internal, and not optional -
that recurs, with a foreclosed past instance and a scheduled future one -
and the confirmed site is beneath the lake, verified by the only post-release reply: "beneath the lake" → "So, what did you think?", sent ~2 hours after Chapter 5 dropped, i.e. after the player could have watched it.
"You only need to see her once. And you'll move on."
The correct answer's own line is doubly syntaxed, like the question that preceded it: "You only need to see her once. And you'll move on." See her once - you cannot replay the Weird Route in that save file after this; the witnessing is single-use, one look and the door shuts behind it. Move on - not only "get over it," but move on as in physical passage, the body carried forward through the cut. Both readings are live, and the puzzle means both: you see her once, and you go.
After a while, the screen cuts to black, and an old television screen opens up, with text instructing the player to "Insert Chapter 7 Side B". The game then exits back to the file select screen. A unique completion file is subsequently generated, appending "_b" on the end, which does not fulfill the completion star on the Chapter Select screen. No SAVE points are accessible during this Chapter.
- the wiki
"It" - the event - is crossing the lake, and, more specifically in my theory, wrong warping out of the world via drowning in the lake (this is an assertion that I will explain in future essays). On the Weird Route, Noelle does just this - and the game cuts, with VHS glitch-VFX, past the rest of Chapter 5 and all of Chapter 6. This is why the Chapter 5 flower-world answers got the soft "bad news" and not the flat "not at all": the event occupies the seam where that dark world should be. It is Chapter-5-adjacent because it replaces Chapter 5. And it recurs because Noelle is retracing a path already walked - far shore, under the water, gone from Hometown.
Why the pronoun jape? Because Dess also did "it", you know, something you might want to call off if you get cold feet. Trying to cross a lake on your own is pretty hard! No shame in trying to go to the hospital instead. And we'd like "it" to happen in the shelter because that goes downward, not sideways (again, more on this later). I'll be totally honest the Dess/Noelle distinction is slippery here. Probably on purpose!
Where does this go? To Chapter 7, Side B (this is just true).
Assertion: Your viewport in the DEVICE is a physical view of your soul, it is what you, the player, are looking at in terms of a real location inside Hometown. Therefore, we have to assume that drowning in the lake, or going to the bottom of the lake, takes you to Chapter 7, Side B. Which sure is odd, because that seems like a time, and not a location.

isn't it insane though how schizophrenic people are viewed as violent and dangerous by the majority of society when in reality schizophrenic people are nearly 14 times more likely to be on the receiving end of violence than to be the perpetrators...
1) schizophrenia hardly ever causes people to be violent so schizophrenic people aren’t more likely to be violent than anyone else
2) schizophrenic people’s autonomy is often taken away from them because of their schizophrenia. because the authorities and mental healthcare providers often automatically assume schizophrenic people to be violent, they’re more likely to immediately react to schizophrenic people's symptoms with violence, without even knowing for sure said schizophrenic person was going to be violent. all of this causes schizophrenic people to be more likely of being victims of violence and abuse. schizophrenic people also have a harder time getting out of abusive households because of the risk of their autonomy being taken away. if a schizophrenic person’s relative or partner is abusive, often the schizophrenic person has no way out of the situation, both because our disconnect from reality can result in us being easier to manipulate, and because the system is built in a way that it takes away our autonomy because of our condition.
also schizophrenic people and psychotic people in general, please do a lot of research before picking a provider for your own sake, and if they try to treat your psychosis in a way that you think is harmful then don’t hesitate to switch providers. your safety and wellbeing should be a priority over everything else.

UWOTC-CWA is seeking transparency and consistency in career progression and pay for Arena employees. Leadership has continued to acknowledge
Career progression and pay is an important issue for UWOTC-CWA members. Every employee deserves to have clearly defined performance metrics, reliable expectations for pay, and a clear path forward in their career growth.
Leadership has continued to acknowledge a backlog in deserved promotions, yet only a few people are promoted each year. High-performing employees are put in the position of continuously proving that they exceed the expectations of their role.
This results in people working above their level for years without due compensation or recognition. UWOTC-CWA is seeking transparency and consistency in career progression and pay for all Arena employees, and we look forward to discussing this at the bargaining table after we secure union representation
We all enjoy working at WOTC and want to continue doing so for years to come!
By leveraging scalable solutions and actionable insights, we can unlock new possibilities, foster meaningful connections, and create impact at every level.
Throwback to the time me and my lil sister made Tattletale and Skitter in Lego Incredibles, which, oddly enough, was a really well made game for a movie tie in.
