It's after the end of the world. [UTC+10, 07/04/02026]

The day is here in my timezone. I immediately told the best friend of mine that has read 17776/20020 that I love it ( @i-would-like-a-sword-pls can't wait to be a part of the bulldozer together! <3 ) and asked multiple other friends if anyone wanted to play some football.

At some point I hope to do a write up about how important the story is to me. But very, if that helps paint a picture.

I've been waiting for this day a while, this quote especially is my discord status right now. It's a story written about a hypothetical, and although my health isn't in great shape, it does still give me a level of hope. I don't really mind what happens next, I just know I will be living it in one way or another for eternity with friends.

Please read 17776. Yes I've copied this from my first post. Because you should read this.

The quote for ease of reading:

"We were always at the end.

It's a free play, buddy. Clock's all zeroes.

It's after the end of the world."

I've been getting a lot of friends into 17776 and 20020 lately, with a recent push in particular for The Day. This quote in particular I found particularly touching, in the same way I find Nine very relatable. Feeling lost in the universe, with not much energy, yet staying curious is what matters.

To be a bit personal, chronic fatigue and pain have been kicking my ass for a while now, especially the last few years, and with 7 April around the corner, I think people who have read the ending of the first story can see why I appreciate it so much. The world will still be there for me even if I have to rest for a while, my friends will make sure I will be okay, they love me and I love them.

Artemis II's launch also inspired me picking this quote. Granted, it's a return trip, but it still felt fitting.

Please read 17776. Okay the quote is from 20020 but still please please please

The quote for ease of reading:

"There are so many unknowns.

You shove something out there into the horizon, so far off you can't see it. You have no control over where it goes.

You just hope it finds its way."

Something was always wrong. [UTC+10, 07/04/02026]

I’ve scheduled this post for when it hits midnight in New York, could’ve done Denver but I dunno I think about the New York City chapter a lot.

We love JUICE don’t we. Whilst he is full of whimsy and hilarity and french-ness, I always appreciate his wisdom so much. I chose this quote because it harbours back to the infamous opening page for the story, but the lunchables ramble was a contender!

I love this story so much. I hope for better times for all of us. Let’s play some football.
