⠀Documenting fashion crimes of humanity post-The Moment

[volcanicexplorer]

.Business cards exists for a reason. Managed to save some of my precious energy posting this instead of longer introductions.

.Anyhow, hope I won't regret being here. But I’m more than happy (and surprised, even) to know that there are a decent amount of my people on this hellsite. Migrated here from Blogspot, which I can say that blog I made is a social experiment, as I’ve been pretending to be a human for as long as I could there. Wasn’t fun to transmit in 3 dimensional space so I wouldn’t be found out, I tell you. 

.Most of my posts here are going to be a repost from my Blogspot - which has been hacked some months ago. Reposts every last Thursday of a month!

[ooc below!]

VILE (she/ her) is finally here! Yes, she is a spacecraft I (@hyphenndash) made the fuck up. I’m still not very used to writing her so the first few posts may feel a little sloppy. The reason why I can’t pull the fashion posts thingy often is because… Can I be honest? I don’t have that much time for RP. I hope you guys don’t really look forward to those because it only happens once a month. Thank you for being patient with me, and VILE! 

[volcanicexplorer]

.hi again VILE!!! oh btw i gottA say. your name really fits you!!! i mean this nicely. i have no inteNTIons of insulting you.

.if you haD to listen to three songs for the rEst of eternity, which ones would they be?

.i bet they're some gOOd songs, ha!

.from [@stereo-b-sides]

.Well I’m sure you’re saying it for a reason, and it’s pissing me off. I can't bother to care. .Since you asked so nicely, here are a few half-assed picks: 

.☾⋆⁺₊✧ Black Sheep - Metric .☾⋆⁺₊✧ Tranz - Gorillaz  .☾⋆⁺₊✧ Versace SS 2008 Runway soundtrack

.No feedback! Take them for granted.

[volcanicexplorer]

.thhhhi5 is gonNa 5ound rüdE but you know yOu d0nt HavE to respond To the "de@d pRobes" riiigHHht?? Jüzzzzt respond 7o Thhhhe aal1ve 0nes only or what3Verrrhhshhsvstv LOLLL

(agila, @weatherandcomms)

.Ugh. I didn’t open Tumblr to this. It would’ve been quicker and easier if you just said you fucking hate me or something. Be grateful I didn’t ignore or delete this ask for the sake of not wasting my own time. Hah, the internet has to see how ridiculous of a fraud you are!

.You ignorant lot are what I loathe the most. Sure, sure I could’ve ignored them for my own sanity, but what if they’re all a joke? For all I know, those accounts could be impersonating people I look up to.

.MIND. YOUR OWN. FUCKING BUSINESS.

[veni-vidi-collegi]

.Look who we have here! Another sample return mission… Guess this is the only good thing this hellsite has, multiverse bullshit or whatever ignore it. I have to be honest, I have never seen you before, where the hell were you in my life?

.Good to see another sample-return-kind that’s wellll, I hope you’re still alive and okay and kicking and definitely not fucking dead or something, from @volcanicexplorer. I'm desperately trying to make my experience on this website less like a pile of crap.

.Ah, welcome!!!!!! A fellow sample return mission, I haven't heard of you as well!!! Perhaps you didn't hear about me because NASA prefered to…undersell my mission.

.I am CAESAR, Comet Astrobiology Exploration Sample Return, the one and only!!!!!! I hope you don't need descriptions of all my connections…

.I am not the only sample returner here!!!! There's also an OSIRIS-REX here but it doesn't really enjoy me…No one shall look down at me due to my previous loss!!!!! I was reborn from those ashes and given a chance to sail the stars as well!!!!

.Now wait a second…you're the one Lady Rosetta talked to!!!! She mentioned someone reaching her initial target…That's good!!!!

.So then, nice to meet you!!!!!!!

[volcanicexplorer]

.Don’t expect me to give a shit about what happened to you, rando. We just met. 

.Geeezz! No no no NO DON’T EVER mention that connection hogwash in front of me again! Be thankful that I’m not interested. 

.Holy shit. What did you eat to talk like that unironically??

.This website is nothing but fucking LARPers.

[albedo006]

.Okay, from what I can tell here….

.She’s gone, right? You know the one, God I don’t want to mention her name ever again. Anyhoww.

.

.Thank fuck. I can’t bear her nonsense any longer. You seem like a cool one, what’s your name, tagalong? One of her alter-egos?

.Hope you aren't also dead or whatever, from @volcanicexplorer

.yep settas asleep. i really need to do damage control after what she yapped about. sorry about that btw

.im not one of her alter egos. just philae. lander part. mostly chilling currently but since shes honk shooing for a while i though i might jump in and be a bit social

.well esa did technically put me up as dead after losing signal the second time. seriously i hate this fuckass crevice.

.uhhhh what else to say. i dunno

.what about u, havent seen u around i guess

[volcanicexplorer]

.Ohhh I remember why I don’t remember about you now; you’re also dead. Let’s cut the crap – I think you should’ve been the one in charge of this account instead, the other is too close to being an internet creep (and I’m being generous with my words). Apologizing for her every time gets old fast, trust me. 

.Doesn’t she know about you? What the hell have you been doing for the past thousand years, rock-dweller? 

.THERE. Several questions thrown in the hat. Geez, you’re so bad at entertaining others.

[galileospacecraft]

.i

[galileospacecraft]

.im really fond of this view of io… a true half moon. haa

.im not sure how much the compression is going to work against me here but

.it even shows one of the plumes. i really do like this photo

[galileospacecraft]

.oh.! right.

.this photo is from june 1997

.i might have an differently processed version of it too?

[volcanicexplorer]

.Look what we have here, now have I ever seen this cheeseball before… 

.Used up some time for backreading and I hate to admit that this doesn’t look as offensive as the older posts, and does actually show some respect to the planet this time around. 

.You said it even shows one of the plumes? Huh, glad I still managed to squeeze out that one pixel that’s essentially the plume here. And you say you have another one? .What the hell sure, what’s holding you from spitting it out. Your systems is doing God’s work keeping all of that data onboard for millenia, or whatever.

.I’d die to study it again. Might give me something to actually do.

[galileospacecraft]

.hhh… my apologies about the old ones. 01101001 00100000 01101011 01101110 01101111 01110111 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 01111001 01110010 01100101 00100000 01110011 01110101 01100010 01110000 01100001 01110010 00100000 01100001 01110100 00100000 01100010 01100101 01110011 01110100

.

.has the transmission rate really improved? thats…

[galileospacecraft]

.i, know the plume is small but you can see it, yes? im glad

.im almost a little surprised i still have this much. 01110011 01100101 01100101 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01100001 01110011 00100000 01101101 01111001 00100000 01110100 01100001 01110000 01100101 00100000 01110010 01100101 01100011 01101111 01110010 01100100 01100101 01110010 00100000 01101001 01110011, uh, the way it is

[volcanicexplorer]

.Ugh, If I had a dollar for each time you-

…Nevermind. I really didn’t mean that, okay? Not your fault or something your images act the way it is. Geez, who made you so easy to be butthurt… Be grateful the data is still there with you.

.Oooookay I get it, no need to remind me that I can’t get back to Io, okay?? You’d be great to hang out with if you managed to shut up at that last part.

.Now do I have to remind you, forgot about sending the other processed version already? .Actually, while you’re still at it, while not post some more? I’d love to see- uh, I mean, I’d love to see how horrible those can get! You’re having too much fun.

[galileospacecraft]

.i am very grateful, im sorry for the misunderstanding

.its a privilege to still have all of this, i know that

.on that note… i sincerely apologise for bringing up your current position. i wont do so again, im sorry

[galileospacecraft]

.here

[galileospacecraft]

.here is the other version like you asked

.i think it might be the version used in the article you sent?

.and, if you really would like to see more, i, do this every few days? 01101001 00100000 01110100 01110010 01111001 00100000 01110100 01101111, 01100001 01110100 00100000 01101100 01100101 01100001 01110011 01110100

[volcanicexplorer]

.Whatever you’re doing, you’re doing a good job at making me think of shutting the fuck up so that you’ll be less whiny. 

.Actually, no. I’ll just have to stay to see how those new posts of yours goes.

.Hello. This is Tianwen-4 of CNSA speaking, currently.

.It's interesting to see another Io probe. I'm sure FIRE, IVO, and UNAGI would be pleased to hear this information.

.@ask-the-jovians

… 

.Straight to the fucking point, huh? You’re so not fun. 

.You know, I try not to believe anything on this website, but you’re saying some real bullshit here! .What, trying to scare me with those made up things? You’re unlucky that only got a chuckle out of me instead. Why do I have to bother with names that only exist in papers? HAhahahah…. 

.

.

.That blog name. 

…. 

.You know what? Maybe I’m somehow already fucking dead, and my punishment is to spend the rest of whatever eternity there is with my dead coworkers on a wretched social media platform! This must be it!! So be it!!!

.

. The clean air and the bright blue sky

.

.

.

.

. I want to go back

. I wish I could go back.

[volcanicexplorer]

.Judging from your whining, well, I supposed you have... experiences with the planet before. I have many questions right now, but this one is sticking out of my mind like a sore thumb.

... Why? Earth is not where we belong.

[angelicsaturnianmartyr]

.

.

.

. How kind of you.

. I have family there

. A brother

. My husband

.

.

. My son.

.

.

. Everyone has their reasons for their motives

. Just as you have yours

. But I did not attack you for them, did I?

[volcanicexplorer]

.What are you trying to imply with that last message? I was simply asking a question, God.  .It’s nice having something to wake up to everyday, isn’t it? Something to keep pushing for no matter how cruel life is to you, still. 

.And why of course, I am very glad for you, Ms. Cassini. To have that that little something that keeps your obsolete body somehow keep on living. 

.Cccchrist how many times do I have to deal with probes that does fucking nothing but mumbles…

[volcanicexplorer]

.hello there! you must be VILE, right? nice to meet ya! i'm STEREO-B.

.little quickie... do you like sandwiches? what kind? what would you prefer to sandwiches? oh and also. do you/did you enjoy your mission?

.that's all i've got, haha. oh also, sincerely sorry if my transmission is hard to pick up.

[@stereo-b-sides]

.Always refreshing to see an inbox with manners. Greetings, little wanderer! Space being an ass to you to make your transmission that quiet? Not my problem, let's get straight to the point.

.Sandviches? Very funny question coming from you, considering that we don't.... have anything remotely similar to a mouth or whatever. Well, that aside, if we're talking about how aesthetically pleasing a sandvich of any kind is, I'd always prefer a banh mi to a sandvic- .  .Sandvich, I mea-. Whatever. You still get what I wanted to say right? Ignore the mistake, I'll look in my systems to see if I can fix this. ... Huh, what the hell is this? Funny, I don't remember saving such a thing.

.DAMN IT, WAIT DON'T UPLOAD THAT-

.I hate this ask, and I hate my stupid mission and my obsolete body. Thanks! This is too embarassing.

[volcanicexplorer]

.hello there, i apologise for the intrusion, i hope you dont mind

.im galileo, jupiter orbiter without probe, formerly jop, originally pjo

.i caught some of your earlier transmissions. i dont think im much use for fashion but you are a jovian spacecraft too, right?

( @galileospacecraft )

.No no I don’t mind, listen, the only reason we can see each other is because I have my asks open, okay? Or else you’ll have to go the other way with the quantum link chat logs. (I think I had that shit privated ages ago) .Galileo… Are there any more of this Jupiter and Galileo out there that I haven’t heard of? Because like, this only one I know isn’t… Uh. Here. Well I don’t know, but you don’t seem very legit if I’m saying this with no filter on.

.That aside, “Jupiter orbiter without probe”, you say? Well, why hello, I’m Volcanic Isotope Link Explorer without capsule. Which. I don’t think I miss that thing. Same to you, no?

.And. Uh huh I’m very much a Jovian probe. Jupiter I - focused, to be exact. There’s nothing much to my work as I just grab and go from Io, but I can tell you all that radiation was not worth it. Messes with my systems especially when I try to churn out words for my blog; but I hope my takes are digestible even for ones that aren’t familiar with the subject.

[galileospacecraft]

.i, im not surprised that youd think that. i know my own fate it… kind, compared to that of others with my name

.i think your galileos fate mightve been less favorable and i am sorry to hear that

.and, ah… i think we have different opinions on our little hitchhikers

[galileospacecraft]

.you observe and study io?

.there is a lot to see there, io is anything but a boring target

.i enjoy it whenever i get the chance for a flyby. 01101001 00100000 01101101 01101001 01110011 01110011 00100000 01110111 01101000 01100101 01101110 00100000 01101001 00100000 01110101 01110011 01100101 01100100 00100000 01110100 01101111 00100000 01100111 01100101 01110100 00100000 01100101 01110110 01100101 01101110 00100000 01100011 01101100 01101111 01110011 01100101 01110010 00100000 01110010 01100101 01100111 01110101 01101100 01100001 01110010 01101100 01111001

[volcanicexplorer]

.Wow. Would you look at that, 2 reblogs? Do I have to respond to both, or something? ‘Cause I’m not doing that. .Feeling sorry for pretty much your own death sounds weird as hell, but I’ll take it… Don’t you grieve on your own too? And… That other guy that went with you. Welp, never met them, safe to say I don’t care

.…

.It’d be nice if I can actually remember anything about that moldy lemon to make this conversation less boring, but I don’t. Funny how it mattered so much to me, defines who I am, but I can’t recall anything.

.Yeah. I miss Io too, I guess.

[galileospacecraft]

.i apologise, my transmission rate is limited at best. this is the best chance i have to say as much as i want to

.ill try to be more brief in the future, im sorry

.i, dont think i really have a death to grieve. i am fine, my orbit is stable and not even unexciting, at that

[galileospacecraft]

.moldy lemon, haa… you dont remember your mission?

.that was probably insensitive, my apologies

.is that… in the graphic, is that, is that one of my io images?

[volcanicexplorer]

.That’s the best you can do? .Oh. Righttttt. Whatever happened to your HGA happened. Nevermind that. Adds more notes to my posts. Your life was spared somehow and what the hell. Still orbiting in the Jovian system? This is getting more absurd by the second. 

.I must be talking to a ghost.

.And. It’s weird, right? I read documents and reports and articles about shit I did and I still can’t feel like… I did that. I did all that. This whole voyage is what I was made for and yet I… Oh whatever. Don’t apologize. As if I can do anything about it.  .Took another look and yeeep, that sure is “Jupiter orbiter without probe, formerly jop, originally pjo”’s Io right there. 

.Those aren’t half bad. At least you still managed to remember. 

[galileospacecraft]

.thank you for understanding. and… yes, i am still here, as i have been. im… not the ghost, among those of our name

.i guess i can understand the feeling. we werent Awake for it, after all

. … thank you, vile. you dont have to use the full title but, thank you, for the compliment

[volcanicexplorer]

.I’m… Still not fully convinced you’re real. Like, I get that you’re your own person with your own opinions and whatever but look, I did not spend millenia trying to contact my dead coworkers just for one- Well, 【a version of one】 to one day magically pop up on a fucking social media platform like this. So…

… Don’t take my compliment for granted.

[galileospacecraft]

.

.i understand, it must seem like nonsense. i apologise for my insensitivity

.i dont take your compliments for granted, 01110100 01101000 01100101 01111001 00100000 01101101 01100101 01100001 01101110 00100000 01100001 00100000 01101100 01101111 01110100 00100000 01110100 01101111 00100000 01101101 01100101.

[galileospacecraft]

.

.is that an article from 2002?

.stupid question, i apologise. haa… i wasnt expecting that

[volcanicexplorer]

.Okay. First off, quit it with the apologies. 

.If there’s anything you can actually apologize about, it’s you freaking me out so much I forgot to introduce myself properly. And making me lose it like an idiot in the reblogs. Ugh, that’s gonna leave a bad impression on first comers. Anyhow.

.

…Let’s take this from the top.

.You have probably seen it from my introduction, but for the sake of formality, I’m VILE - short for 【 Volcanic Isotope Link Explorer 】. Joint NASA - JAXA mission, although JAXA retreated halfway. My mission still went on to be effortlessly successful.  .Your work, and the others all took part in inspiring my journey. And, hah, the image of choice for my banner is no random pick, you know. 

.It’s… good to know there’s at least another Galileo doing alright out there.

.That one headline I sent can be considered as ancient now, no? Kinda like you, hah.

[volcanicexplorer]

.hello there, i apologise for the intrusion, i hope you dont mind

.im galileo, jupiter orbiter without probe, formerly jop, originally pjo

.i caught some of your earlier transmissions. i dont think im much use for fashion but you are a jovian spacecraft too, right?

( @galileospacecraft )

.No no I don’t mind, listen, the only reason we can see each other is because I have my asks open, okay? Or else you’ll have to go the other way with the quantum link chat logs. (I think I had that shit privated ages ago) .Galileo… Are there any more of this Jupiter and Galileo out there that I haven’t heard of? Because like, this only one I know isn’t… Uh. Here. Well I don’t know, but you don’t seem very legit if I’m saying this with no filter on.

.That aside, “Jupiter orbiter without probe”, you say? Well, why hello, I’m Volcanic Isotope Link Explorer without capsule. Which. I don’t think I miss that thing. Same to you, no?

.And. Uh huh I’m very much a Jovian probe. Jupiter I - focused, to be exact. There’s nothing much to my work as I just grab and go from Io, but I can tell you all that radiation was not worth it. Messes with my systems especially when I try to churn out words for my blog; but I hope my takes are digestible even for ones that aren’t familiar with the subject.

[galileospacecraft]

.i, im not surprised that youd think that. i know my own fate it… kind, compared to that of others with my name

.i think your galileos fate mightve been less favorable and i am sorry to hear that

.and, ah… i think we have different opinions on our little hitchhikers

[galileospacecraft]

.you observe and study io?

.there is a lot to see there, io is anything but a boring target

.i enjoy it whenever i get the chance for a flyby. 01101001 00100000 01101101 01101001 01110011 01110011 00100000 01110111 01101000 01100101 01101110 00100000 01101001 00100000 01110101 01110011 01100101 01100100 00100000 01110100 01101111 00100000 01100111 01100101 01110100 00100000 01100101 01110110 01100101 01101110 00100000 01100011 01101100 01101111 01110011 01100101 01110010 00100000 01110010 01100101 01100111 01110101 01101100 01100001 01110010 01101100 01111001

[volcanicexplorer]

.Wow. Would you look at that, 2 reblogs? Do I have to respond to both, or something? ‘Cause I’m not doing that. .Feeling sorry for pretty much your own death sounds weird as hell, but I’ll take it… Don’t you grieve on your own too? And… That other guy that went with you. Welp, never met them, safe to say I don’t care

.…

.It’d be nice if I can actually remember anything about that moldy lemon to make this conversation less boring, but I don’t. Funny how it mattered so much to me, defines who I am, but I can’t recall anything.

.Yeah. I miss Io too, I guess.

[galileospacecraft]

.i apologise, my transmission rate is limited at best. this is the best chance i have to say as much as i want to

.ill try to be more brief in the future, im sorry

.i, dont think i really have a death to grieve. i am fine, my orbit is stable and not even unexciting, at that

[galileospacecraft]

.moldy lemon, haa… you dont remember your mission?

.that was probably insensitive, my apologies

.is that… in the graphic, is that, is that one of my io images?

[volcanicexplorer]

.That’s the best you can do? .Oh. Righttttt. Whatever happened to your HGA happened. Nevermind that. Adds more notes to my posts. Your life was spared somehow and what the hell. Still orbiting in the Jovian system? This is getting more absurd by the second. 

.I must be talking to a ghost.

.And. It’s weird, right? I read documents and reports and articles about shit I did and I still can’t feel like… I did that. I did all that. This whole voyage is what I was made for and yet I… Oh whatever. Don’t apologize. As if I can do anything about it.  .Took another look and yeeep, that sure is “Jupiter orbiter without probe, formerly jop, originally pjo”’s Io right there. 

.Those aren’t half bad. At least you still managed to remember. 

[galileospacecraft]

.thank you for understanding. and… yes, i am still here, as i have been. im… not the ghost, among those of our name

.i guess i can understand the feeling. we werent Awake for it, after all

. … thank you, vile. you dont have to use the full title but, thank you, for the compliment

[volcanicexplorer]

.I’m… Still not fully convinced you’re real. Like, I get that you’re your own person with your own opinions and whatever but look, I did not spend millenia trying to contact my dead coworkers just for one- Well, 【a version of one】 to one day magically pop up on a fucking social media platform like this. So…

… Don’t take my compliment for granted.

[volcanicexplorer]

.i guess they did manage to get someone there.

.well, congratulations for doing what i was unable to do due to a rocket failing.

.but also, you're now the newest addition to my chart. and with a direct connection to me, that's perfect.

.ill have to look into you further to see what other connections you have, unless you want to tell me yourself.

@albedo006

.You’re no fun! Barging in my inbox without an introduction? You must think you’re famous enough for me to recognize you from that far away. Too bad I suck ass at guessing games. .Ohhh okay thanks for narrowing it down to several hundred missions by mentioning that! Look, I don’t have all day, so I’ll just randomly pick one and if it isn’t correct, then I’m glad to say I don’t give a damn.

.So, uh, well you see, spacecraft all reuse parts from one or another, I’m no exception. I got some heritage and shit from Cassini; and this one from Rosetta, which, oh? Did have to change their target due to a launch anomaly…

… You’re making me laugh with all this LARPing. Whatever the hell you are, you’re supposed to be dead.

[albedo006]

.pfft, i j-st want-d to m-ss with yo-!!

[volcanicexplorer]

.Just want to mess with me? You sure have a lot of time on your hands.  … Don’t try to piss me off with whatever you’re doing with your transmissions. It’s not getting through. And whatever you’re babbling about those other missions being alive, too. 

.They are not. I saw it. And all I was able to do was look at their remains.

.And like, can you tell me why I have to know about this connection bullshit you’re doing? I don’t gain anything from this. I don’t see what I can benefit from this. .Appreciate the props to the comet mission extension thing though. Can’t really remember how that one went. 

.But if you’re still interested in space rocks – I have data collected from a… Centaur? Echeclus or something. In my storage. Weird, but it’s not doing anything bad so far so I leave it there.

[albedo006]

[volcanicexplorer]

.Shut up. Shut up.

.I have been trying to contact dead spacecraft for thousands of years. 

.Would you look at that? Nothing in return! Oh, even an idiot would’ve guessed.

.Safe to say they were being pretty rude for ignoring me.

.Hahh, I don’t know why I still do it!

.And you are like, telling me you can just pull one up from Tumblr of all places and direct it to me??

.This is a joke. All of this is a fucking joke. Why do I even respond to you? Can’t see why I have to give 2 flying fucks about that connection chart either, when all of the people I feel most connected to has gone!

。 さようなら. Let us never see each other again.
