a bloody soul

indie Yveltal-absorbed Serena from Pokémon X and Y

A PSA for the Tumblr Pokémon community

(And anyone else who happens to see this.)

Hello there. You know me as firewcll, Taiyo-mun, Sam, or just by my screen name of Astrion. My Discord got hacked a few nights ago, the threat actor having tricked me after they hijacked a Discord account of someone I trusted in cybersecurity. Ironic as this is, this is an important takeaway. Even someone trained in cybersecurity can be hacked if the hacker presents the right narrative. I spectacularly ignored all the red flags and paid the price. I don’t want the same to happen to anyone else.

Based on what I’ve deduced from this individual’s actions, they’re an amateur hacker tricking people into downloading their game (for me, it was called ‘Cyberkia’). This ‘game’ is actually malware, in the form of a keylogger that will boot you out of Discord and force you to relog manually, all while reading your keystrokes. They hijacked my account, and began using it to troll people, spread their virus, destroy servers I was in or in charge of, and generally sow chaos. I’m not sure if they’re after credit card information too, but don’t take any chances.

If you have, in the past, added Astrion#4262 or #6773, that account is now known as ‘FadeD’. As edgy as their name is, they are sadly a rather dangerous threat actor who will gladly phish and snatch your account from you. People that have interacted with me will likely know that it isn’t me, though this is an extra layer of precaution.

If you see this account, report it hacked to Discord (so they can hopefully get back to me about it sooner), and Do Not Respond. If they did get you and you’re just now seeing this, Do NOT Log Back In To Discord. Do not type anything sensitive on your keyboard. Disconnect your WiFi or ethernet cable, backup your files, and perform a hard, clean reinstall of Windows. I was hasty and did not back up my files before I did this, out of fear they were infected, and lost quite a bit of data. Once you’re done with this, to be sure, change all of your passwords from a secure device (I did so with my phone). I recommend using https://passwordsgenerator.net/ to make them. 

Fun fact: Even with the best tools, it’ll take a black hat hacker mathematically the lifespan of the universe to crack a 16 character password consisting of numbers, letters of both capital and not flavors, and special characters. Do this for everything important, especially if they shared a password with your Discord (something you shan’t do in the future).

I’m going to be hyper-paranoid about how I go about Discord now. If you would like, I can provide my Discord again in private, but know that I will no longer accept any file from someone I have not known for a while (and even then, I’ll still probably open your file in a virtual machine).

Please remain safe. And if it’s all the same, if this FadeD person has not blocked you yet, you’re more than welcome to troll them however you see fit. Just don’t break the law or anything, I don’t want you getting in trouble too.

Happy roleplaying. I don’t use Tumblr for roleplay anymore, but I may return someday if enough people want me to.

     “...I thought I killed Lysandre. He’s back now?” she sighed, “Well, suppose I get to end him and his poor fashion sense a second time. I love multiverse theory.”

[stainedmalefic]

     She’s bored. Bother her.

(softly but with feeling) that's the weed number brO

     “...who let you into my castle? Was it that blasted Smeargle? I told him, ‘no kids’!”

     “A gorgeous name, for a… gorgeous girl,” she replied, “I hear you’re the Hero of Kalos now, miss Shayna.”

“Hehe, yep. That’s me alright. Not sure what to do with this title, though.”

“Well, you can certainly win some hearts. I’d hope to win yours, considering I once was a… Hero of Kalos myself.”

“Well now, you certainly have the qualifications to win my heart, you know.” She chuckled, “You were? More in common, then.”

[stainedmalefic]

"I would be intrigued to see how much more we've got in common," Serena made a quaint grin, "How busy are you tonight?"

championofsnark:

“Study. That has an interesting connotation to it.” She crossed her arms, “Shayna.”

     “A gorgeous name, for a… gorgeous girl,” she replied, “I hear you’re the Hero of Kalos now, miss Shayna.”

championofsnark:

“Plaything? In what way?”

     “That depends. You’re quite a lovely young woman, so I couldn’t... well, study you. I do think you’d do good as a talking companion for the evening,” she eyed the woman, “I am Serena.”

Dark Magic sentence starters

I received an anonymous ask requesting starters for necromancy, so I decided to expand upon that idea and create starters for dark magic in general, including necromancy. Enjoy!

“I’ve never used this spell before.” “Magic like this is forbidden, and for good reason.” “With this book of spells, we have the power to destroy everything.” “If this wasn’t dangerous, it wouldn’t be interesting.” “Have you ever wanted to bring someone back from the dead?” “I don’t care what it takes. I’m bringing them back!” “Be warned: what you’re going to see might terrify you.” “This seems… dangerous.” “One way or another, I’ll make them love me.” “You can’t just use magic to manipulate people like this!” “This isn’t right. It’s unnatural!” “This is the only true way to speak to the dead.” “If we do this spell correctly, we’ll own the world.” “Do you believe in demons?” “I’ll let you light the candles.” “This isn’t the first curse I’ve cast.” “This book of black magic is my little secret. Would you like to see?” “Be quiet or I’ll curse you next.” “They’ll regret the day they even thought to cross me.” “Nothing will hurt us if we stay inside this circle.” “They’ll be alive again, but not the same as they were before.” “No one ever said dark magic was easy.” “This spell couldn’t actually kill anyone, could it?” “The ritual begins soon. I suggest you prepare yourself.” “I’ve seen far more disturbing things than this.” “Demons don’t scare me.” “Let’s say the incantation together.” “Do you want to see something truly horrifying?” “We need a sacrifice.” “All you need to do is offer a little bit of blood. Just a tiny bit, that’s all!” “Trust me, and step into the circle.” “I’ve never felt power like this before.” “Open your eyes. It’s time for you to come back to life.” “I’ve done it. I am the master over death!” “I’m not evil. Magic isn’t evil. It’s just shades of grey.”

championofsnark liked your post:     “I want a play thing tonight.”

     “You. You’ll be my play thing.”

The unknown is scary

[stainedmalefic]

     The moonlight cloaked her as she leaned on the balcony of the decrepit castle. The derelict bastion had served as a king’s home in the time of the War of Kalos three thousand years ago. Though it had fallen into disrepair, Serena wouldn’t allow such a beautiful, usable fortress to go to waste. Using the funds she obtained throughout her journey, she had the castle slowly undergo a process of refurbishment and repair, modernizing it.

     It would take weeks, perhaps months to install ventilation or electricity. She was happy they were able to make water lines pump throughout the castle in a quick and fashionable way. She would be pleased when this fortress of hers was finished.

     It had been a few years since her journey through Kalos, the defeat of Team Flare, and... her death. After obtaining Yveltal, Serena had merged souls with it in an act known as soul-splicing. She didn’t understand the exact mechanics behind it, other than it had something to do with the legends of Unova, and the fusion of Pokémon with a human soul. She had devoted her time to studying this ‘fusion’ in hopes to further herself.

     Merging souls with Yveltal forced her to ascend to godhood, as well as forsake her own life. She was killed when it happened, but rose from the ashes of the awakening a divine being, and one with undeath. No one but her knew that she was, effectively, a corpse and a goddess of destruction. It was best no one knew.

     Eyeing the moon passing through the sky, the goddess knew this would be one of an unending cycle of days and nights. For she could not die. She was not allowed to. Despite being immortal, should she be killed, she would murder everyone near her and steal their souls to further her longevity. Not that she cared anymore that she had become the Ultimate Weapon Herself. She was content with her lifestyle now, and was content with the necessary murder needed to strengthen herself.

     Soon she would find the means to ascend even further, and go to a level even beyond the creator god Himself...
