[ * THE ASK BOX IS OPEN! ]
[ * You’ll now be able to talk to Breaking Point itself! I’ve always loved the idea of a world being able to think and speak for itself, and this seems like it could be an interesting way to introduce people to the world, since I’m not yet able to draw much (irl responsibilities </3). ]
[ * EDIT: I realized I never explained who’s who.
Anything in a box [ * that looks like this ] is me, Aster! (The creator of this au.)
If it’s in a box and italics, [ * like this ], then I’m narrating the environment or adding descriptors to people or dialogue.
Anything in italics outside of a box, like this, is the world itself talking.
Hope this explains a bit. ]
[ * The rules should be obvious, but just in case, here they are:
1 - Don’t be a dick. Death threats or rudeness towards myself, other askers, or Breaking Point itself is not allowed. This should be applied to anyone who is being rude, too.
2 - As an extension of that: do not harass other people. I don’t care if they’ve said something stupid or rude or anything similar. I don’t care what your reason is. If I find out you’ve been doing this sort of thing towards someone else, you will be blocked and prevented from interacting with this blog or any of my other blogs. If there is a problem, I will handle it.
3 - Flirting with the world is fine, but please refrain from making sexual comments. This is a 16+ blog, not an 18+ blog. ]
[ * These are the rules as of November 3rd, 2025. I may update them as time goes on. ]
[ * The tag for these asks will be #ask the world . It’ll be in the tags of this post so that it’s easier to get to if you want to see all of them. ]
[ * I think that’s all. Enjoy! ]

[ * EDIT: I’m hoping the fact that I said this is meant to be a 16+ blog didn’t scare people away or anything.
All I really mean by 16+ is that this story is probably going to have a lot of darker themes in it.
I’m hoping to balance the grittier stuff out with some more fun elements as well, but I wanted to make sure people know that there is either definitely or probably going to be elements or examples of:
- Gore. Probably not too over the top, though I did do a lot of research on terrible ways people can die when I was in quarantine, (I’m a writer, guys, I swear /silly), meaning there might be a little more realism put into things like that than usual.
- Some people who are creeps (they’ll probably end up dying, though. Or get karma served in other ways.)
- Stuff relating to sex. I’m not sure about the specifics yet. This isn’t a Steven King novel, though, so it’s definitely not going to be too much of a Thing.
- The entire social/political climate of the 50s. Sexism, racism, homophobia, red scare propaganda, the works! McCarthy himself might not exist in this universe, but the ideas he worked off of definitely still do. ]
[ * So just be warned, that’s all. If you’re under 16 and you feel like you’re probably gonna be chill with it, that’s totally fine. I started this whole thing when I was 14, so I get it. ]
