hello, all fanfic lovers?

please, please, please, please tag whatever post you make where you talk about fanfics or fanfiction or whatever you want that you post with the tag fanfic as not a fanfic so that I may filter the tag and be able to look up fanfic without seeing people just talking about fanfics and no actual fics. Please and thank you. Please.

SCREW BOOKTOK, SCREW RECOMMENDATIONS, GO TO A LIBRARY AND PICK OUT A SILLY LOOKING BOOK AND GET OBSESSED WITH A FANDOM THAT DOESN'T EXIST LIKE THE GOOD LORD INTENDED!!!!

[harleyxqinn]

How are the Incarceron Fans called? Because I really want to have a name, I’m so fucking obsessed with it.

[independentlyafandom]

I vote for Prisoners

Not only does it match the series, but it also sounds highly alarming to people who don’t know the context

[t0astedl0ser]

I fw halfmen or whatever they were called, I don't wanna go look it up but yeah

[independentlyafandom]

It’s too bad there’s not a fandom here

we could have such fantastic discourse

[bluecatseatbluecupcakes]

what is this discourse you speak of

Also: wha’d you mean there’s not a fandom? We’re right here. All five of us. It’s like a sad intervention.

[independentlyafandom]

Let’s discourse, friends

What are your ships? (Tbh of what little activity there is on here it seems fairly uniform which kinda surprises me)

How do you think Incarceron was conceptualized? Why did it go through? It seems to me, when you stop and think about it, it all seems really sketchy. Like, they put all the war criminals in an artificially constructed utopia. Bad idea for two reasons: one, even if we give the benefit of the doubt and say that only a slightly larger fraction of the people imprisoned were prone to violence, etc. than the common populace, you still have a population scarred by war and not only that but a population that lost. Two, these people are being overseen by a few “elite,” who, however educated and benevolent they may be, there is still a huge risk for a power imbalance here. The attitude toward the Sapients Inside by the time the story starts is actually kind of fascinating to me; I would have expected them to become elitist in effort to survive. Furthermore, utopian communities have been tried again and again throughout history, and they never work. I find it hard to believe that someone high up wouldn’t have known this. Which means that the severe class distinctions and the secrets within the government have been present from the very beginning. Incarceron was never humane–it was just made to look like it would be so people wouldn’t get upset. From there it’s entirely possible to argue that Incarceron was never meant to last. After all, if it just slowly ran out of power and died, no one in the Realm would really care. The legend would live on, as it did before, and the Warden would pretend to still have a job (which is pretty close to what is going on anyway.)

And on that note, how was the Realm established? Assuming the world was in some vaguely similar state to our world when the Years of Rage occurred, it would be insane to establish such a rigid caste system so quickly, even if technology was all but lost. Surely people must have rebelled against it? How were they pacified? Were they killed?

What exactly are the Sapients? Obviously they’re educated, but how are they chosen beyond that? Are they some kind of Jedi kind of thing (well, they are anyway) where certain people are chosen from an early age? Is it purely an occupation? Are there limitations on their lifestyle, or do they merely gain from their skills and knowledge?

Could Incarceron work in theory? In particular I’m talking about the issue of matter cycling. Animals and people are found to be more and more made of metal, but why? If Incarceron is a closed system, all the matter within must be recycled, which means that Incarceron is not putting it’s organic waste to good use. The issue does arise, however, of where the energy comes from in the first place. Where does organic matter come from?

(Also the whole thing about how exactly halfmen come about is pretty weird to think about I mean that means that robots are being constructed in the womb)

And what about the technology in the Realm? Are the poor aware of it? What stops any uprisings? If we follow this logic, the Realm seems very much like a totalitarian dictatorship.

Also, not a question but a very passionate statement: it is NOT THE VICTORIAN AGE PEOPLE. IT’S SOMEWHERE IN THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY. (which is actually much harder for a lot of people to romanticize which I find interesting)

What is Jared’s mbti?

What kind of enneagrams are we looking at here?

Is Jared actually dead? Is Jared actually Sapphique? Did Sapphique exist? What exactly was Sapphique? How exactly did Jared know what to do at the end of Sapphique? How exactly did him being in control solve all the problems in Incarceron (e.g. the matter cycling above?)

Man that was a lot. Pretty sure there’s more, but that’s a good start.

What is this discourse you speak of

What isn’t this discourse I speak of

[bluecatseatbluecupcakes]

I really like all of those points, and I think you’re doing a great job of getting this tiny fandom hyped, but I think you misunderstood me:

I don’t know what discourse is. Like, at all. The word discourse… I just don’t even know what it means.

That’s what I meant by ‘what is this discourse you speak of’

Sooooo I’m really sorry if I was unclear about that :/

[themoonandthewanderer]

@bluecatseatbluecupcakes: “Discourse” means “a formal lengthy exposition on some subject”.

@independentlyafandom: On the subject of matter recycling:

In chapter 13 of the first book, the characters noted that Incarceron was running out of organic parts. My theory is that Incarceron was already using organic waste to build its body to Escape. It also used up a lot of electricity building the body, which led to waste not being collected in some parts of Incarceron. With Jared in charge, the matter and power would not be wasted anymore. (He could even replenish the lost matter with waste from the Realm.)

[independentlyafandom]

*finally answers like eight years later* (I’m a college student, nuff said)

@bluecatseatbluecupcakes I’m sorry about the confusion! It was on my end too :)

Anyway, I like the idea of using organic matter to build the body, and that could certainly account for some of it, but the sheer amount of missing material seems odd. It just occurs to me though that we encounter/hear of several hybrid creatures; maybe Incarceron has created its own species, which could easily upset the balance in such a small system. And since the system is so small it’d be easy to put too much pressure on the environment via overpopulation.

uh I am too tired to read bright words on screen but here's my half baked probably wrong opinion:

Incarceron is magic evil Australia

That's all

[coulson-is-an-avenger]

extremely funny how Jared is absolutely not one of the characters meant to be on the love interest table at any point however comma he is achingly kind and a scientist and devoted to the detriment of himself and is part of a secret society and has hot doomed disabled swag and so the fandom wants to fuck him so bad everybody's making Claudia look stupid

[imissthembutitwasntadisaster]

IF CATHERINE FISHER DIDN'T WANT ME TO SHIP CLAUDIA AND JARED SHE SHOULDN'T HAVE GIVEN JARED A "TOGETHER OR NOT AT ALL" SPEECH

[t0astedl0ser]

"oh but he's like her father" NUH UH SHUT UP SHE HAS A REALLY MESSED UP RELATIONSHIP WITH HER "FATHER" WHY CAN'T WE TAP INTO THAT WHEN IT ACTUALLY WORKS INSTEAD OF JUST WHENEVER WE WANT TO

[i-perfect-please]

Why did that make me want to read the “Incarceron” duology again

[coulson-is-an-avenger]

thinking about The Warden from Incarceron again.

He's The Warden Of Incarceron, he's mysterious and mystical and dangerous. he's a shadow in fine black velvet. his status is so high he can hold private court with the Queen. his home is so used to his absence that his very arrival unsettles the grounds. his daughter hates him. his daughter offends him only once and vows never to do it again because his quiet, human, pain is more frightening to her than any calculating mask shes ever seen him wear. she isn't his daughter. she chooses to be his daughter many times over. he is quiet and callous and cold and sharp. he is deeply entrenched in treason. he is a force to behold. he is The Warden of Incarceron.

and yet. his given name is john. he's weird and jealous of his daughter's best friend. he has no power over the prison he wardens and the one time he tries he gets all but laughed down. he has a goth alter-ego he calls "The Dark Sapient" in reference to the friend he's jealous of. he genuinely takes no action for the entire series except to completely explode a door and then poison a teenage girl (unsuccessfully). he's so fucking funny. i need to put him in a jar so bad.

Incarceron BBC series when

[t0astedl0ser]

INCARCERON BBC SERIES WHEN

[t0astedl0ser]

I am tired.

I see so many beginner artists with disproportionate and janky looking anatomy, and that's okay. You just need to learn. But then I see artists who have been trying to learn for years, and they just give up cause "it's not pretty"??? Art doesn't have to be beautiful. It's nice when it is, but it can be nice when it's not. If you want it to be better, if you want to master your craft, then study it. Look at other artists, see it your eyes and see it in theirs, look at tutorials, look at people, skeletons, animals, anything! You can't just give up!!?!? You don't have to be naturally good at something to be good at it, it's just harder. And even if you are naturally good at it, you should still study it! Look at studies, use references, ask for help, take breaks so you don't burnout! Do you even know what a warm-up sketch is?? Probably not! Google things! You don't have to know everything about it, just enough to understand it! And if you don't care about how it looks and just want create and express yourself, then just do it! If your world crumbled around you and you life was destroyed, if the only thing you could do was pick up a brush or a pencil or a pen, if you couldn't speak, couldn't move, and all you could do was plaster you feelings on something and give it to the world, would they understand? Would they feel it? Would they feel you? No. The wouldn't. Nobody understands like you do. Sure, maybe another artist will walk by and feel a sense of familiarity, but who else can make you feel, can make you sing? Who can tell you "It's okay, I'll listen to every word you say" but the canvas? When the world is deaf, the canvas listens. The easel sits and let's you speak. Don't give up on you, don't give up on them. You are burned and blackened, a charcoal artist. But what is charcoal but a fuel for the fire? Let your art be the spark that ignites you, burning brighter and stronger than before. Let yourself. Let yourself feel, see, touch, and let yourself speak. The canvas will listen.

TL;DR: If you give up art, I'm stealing your blankets and taking the shift as your sleep paralysis demon.

Random post: I made a YouTuber Gacha Club OC

And this is what she usually looks like:

Her usernames are:

Bl@ckR@bbit

2. D@rkH@re
