My Side Blogs

CynnVein: World building about my fantasy world I wrote a series of books for, The Lion of Cynn.

DPWifeVein: Blog dedicated to a series of polls that I started called Wives of the Nascent Ghost King.

fingrmal: A series of polls to create party in a fantasy world. (closed)

Goodvein: I can focus way too much on the bad, so I created a sideblog just to talk about things I love.

Ingirvein: A series of polls to create a fantasy world. (closed)

mcoka: Make Canada Oh-Kay Again!

Neo-Atlantis Codex: Started as a response to a shitpost about how they should send all White Men out to sea, and someone saying we'll just conquer everyone again as the Sea People. Now it's in theory about building Neo-Atlantis, but truthfully about civics and nascent technology.

Primevein: First posting for the Prime of His Youth. This is fanfiction set after Transformers: Prime, but not including Robots in Disguise. Heavy focuses on Jack Darby x Arcee, and follows Jack goes onto become a Prime, rescue lost colonies, and allow the return of the 13, (or at least the first 12). Six books/433,284 words.

PrismaticRoseVein: A series of polls creating a medieval fantasy world using Ruby characters. (closed)

RWBYvein: Started off as a place to hold my longer RWBY dialogues, but then went onto become the home of Paladin and Firen Lhain, and the Double Rainbow Rewrite of Firen Lhain. Paladin is a dialogue-format rewrite of season 6, while Firen Lhain is a full prose write. It's parallel to RWBY for V1-5, and a complete rewrite of anything post-Haven up to the end of the series. Firen Lhain was a Pollinated Knight world, JxRWBY, because I was indecisive and didn't want to give up my precious ships. The Double Rainbow rewrite instead has White Rose and Bumblebee, (RW and BY), with Jaune's romance not starting until Season 7. Other than that, my biggest RWBY fic was Faunus Rights, about Jaune getting a bunch of Faunus pets. Full AO3 link.

Suncryst Hyperborea: A collab with @noneatnonedotcom and @bretonnianknight about a super-advanced civilization that maintained the pre-Roman Christianity that existed in the British Isles. (closed)

Weatheryear: Tales of Yesteryear. Typically rambles about major society trends.

Weatherpolls: My polls sideblog. I usually have 1-3 polls running every week.

Weathercool: Tacticool blog about the real nature of combat and survival. TL;DR: The most important thing a piece of equipment can do is survive the rigours of combat and wilderness survival.

WeatherWrite: My writing advice blog, as I had a massive amount building up.

How A Gay Jew Rewrote Core Catholic Doctrine in the 1960s (This is CRAZY)

Literally. He was Jewish. Converted to the Catholic Church. Chaired the document for the Catholic Church to value all religions equally. Got it passed. Deconverted, (the technical term is perverted). Went on to have a LOT of gay sex.

He came to the conclusion that God created homosexuals to proselytize for the acceptance of all minorities.

This was passed with a vast majority of Bishops, with less than 4% dissenting, and was given full assent.

Vatican II

Nostra Aetate

Ok, after watching this and finding out how heretical Vatican 2 is im down to Summon the Landsknechts! The Vatican is Due for another Sacking! Saint Peter's Chair needs to be Cleansed in PURIFYING HOLY FLAME! Then the Vatican can be restored to its rightful Glory.

If that breaks apostolic succession then fuck it, we can reconsile with the Orthodox afterwards & Borrow theirs!

American Schism time.

The Texican Branch demands you own an AR-15 and requires you to carry a six shooter at all times.

brazenautomaton

I feel like resident evil does a completely non-political version of the motte and bailey fallacy on a thematic level. this is by far at its worst in re9 but is found elsewhere in the series and in other media. death note is also one

it includes details that demand we take them seriously, that are only added so that we can take them seriously, and then it doesn't take itself seriously to the extent that if we DID take that seriously the fiction wouldn't work.

umbrella inc. is nonsensically evil, and the rhodes hill chronic care center is even more nonsensically evil than that. at least umbrella inc. was a very large company with secret facilities most employees didn't know about. rhodes hill is just the one place where every single person who works there is doing insanely evil shit to people with no remorse. how did he hire these people. what the fuck was his selection process. an even more pressing matter than "where are the toilets" is "how did nobody notice this when they visited their loved ones in hospice, as is a very very very common thing with people in hospice care"

and notes in this place go into great detail about the utterly horrific and violating things that rhodes hill did to the completely innocent and completely vulnerable people in their care. they clearly want you to take it seriously or else they would not have put it in there. they're performing brain surgery on people to change their personalities and make them monsters who are still aware of who they once were for, and I cannot stress this enough, literally no reason. you are supposed to be shocked and affected by this.

but if you were shocked and affected by this it would be so tragic you would not be able to play the game at all, much less spin-kick them and decapitate them with Leon's axe! taking the setup seriously and asking the question the game wants you to ask, "how could anyone be so evil as to do this?" results in the immediate and inevitable answer "they literally could not, this doesn't make any fucking sense and is not possible." it's a schlocky B-movie where things don't really have to make sense, why are you bothering with details, other than because we put them in for the purpose of you taking them seriously?

they want you to feel horrified by what Umbrella did to helpless children but also has them as all giggling red-eyed Spooky Zombie Killer Girls from a 2005 Newgrounds horror flash game. they want you to feel horrified by the industrial scale at which Gideon is processing bodies in the basement, they want you to take it seriously in terms of presenting how evil it is but not take it seriously in terms of "how the fuck does this make a lick of sense how does he have this many people from a medical center that is supposed to hold people for a long time."

also I will never be shocked or affected by finding out the company was evil and I will never be shocked or affected by finding out the company was actually really really evil and I will never be shocked or affected by finding out that the company was actually maximally evil. saying something is maximally evil is easy, it is so easy it is worth nothing. you have to do something that is not the easiest possible thing to impress me.

If I understand your complaint correctly, I think something similar happens in a lot of sci-fi movies with "cheap" spaceships (like Serenity or Millennium Falcon).

The set of a spaceship interior is built for set convenience and relatability and entertainment, and we accept an unrealistic layout as part of the suspension of disbelief because realistic spaceship sets would be annoying to produce and boring to watch in many ways, often in ways relating to gravity or air.

Then the show temporarily switches to treating the set as an exact representation with physical realism and a problem that has to be solved under the constraints of set placement, even though applying this standard elsewhere would result in the alleged spaceship vanishing in a puff of logic.

Speaking of Firefly and selectively taking its own setting seriously,

Wash: "Psychic? That sounds like something out of science fiction." Zoe: "We live in a spaceship, dear."

The show takes place in the future 26th century. The setting has had spaceships for centuries by then. Imagine if Zoe's line was "We live in the New World, dear" today.

thathopeyetlives

Can you give an example of the "suddenly taking the spaceship design totally seriously" thing?

Possibly a bit related: every single villain base in certain genres having a torture chamber full of pools of blood and gore and bodies that the villain just leaves lying around, and very rarely any other kind of horror.

brazenautomaton

no, torture chambers full of blood and gore are not this. that could be kitsch. that could be a GWAR album.

torture chambers full of blood and gore after giving us message logs about finding people for them in a grounded and realistic style that expect us to feel bad for the tragedy of the torture pits full of blood and gore, THAT is what I am talking about

weatherman667

Firefly is a Space Western. "We live in the New World" would 1000% be relevant.

Resident Evil is actually pretty simple. It was always meant as a B movie. Capcom has absolutely no idea why it's still successful, but it's their only proper that's still successful, so they can't stop.

fellowship-of-the-doodles

A little AU based on a dream I had recently in which the Fellowship teamed up with the Winnie the Pooh characters to escape a natural disaster, and when it was over they all moved into a house together with a massive stockpile of food :) Here's just a few of their interactions; I'll probably do more sketches of the AU if people are interested and if I feel inspired to (which I definitely have more ideas for it!) Anyway I just remember that they were all best buds in the dream and it was super cute so I wanted to do something with it <3

I love how proud Visi looks having Robert clung onto her like that🥹❤️✨️

I actually had different idea for this piece, and it involved Beef~ But, after struggling a lot to draw Beef (I even looked for tutorials on how to draw dogs😔), I eventually gave up, and came up with different scenario~ And, I kinda love this heartwarming and soft moment🥰❤️✨️

oh you have to eat your produce the moment it leaves the store or the fuckin Hungering Dust will get it. and. poison your food

tobiasdrake

I ran into this post years ago and to be honest, it has completely reoriented the way I engage with food.

Like. I’ve always sorta understood that things grow moldy or stale or sour or such if left out, but I never really internalized it in a meaningful way.

But now I’m just like.

Yeah. The hungering dust. There exists omnivorous dust in the air that will eat my food if I don’t.

Those bagels have been sitting there for a week. Are we going to eat them soon or are we leaving them for the hungering dust?

Pizza’s been sitting out on the counter for an hour. Everyone’s enjoying the pizza, but if we don’t want “everyone” to include the hungering dust then we should probably put it away soon.

That’s just. That’s how food works to me now. There exists an invisible predator in the air that hungers for your yummies, and it will not hesitate to eat your food if you don’t make the effort to protect and preserve it. And eat what can’t be preserved before the dust can.

Life-changing.

Mould is a fungus, and fungal spores are everywhere.

When you make sourdough, you mix 1 cup of floor with 1 cup of water, cover with cheese cloth, and put it someplaces warm, (top of the fridge), for a couple of days.

Because the Yeast (a fungus) is pretty much everywhere, just waiting for the moisture to germinate. The mushrooms are everywhere, in everything. They softened the soil to allow plants to evolve, they return trees to nutrients for future trees. They’ve learnt to decompose plastics.

They were before plants evolved. hey evolved before the Cambrian explosion, and can live on after the sun dims to longer be able to support photosynthesis.

I can't believe home depot literally produced a wildly successful science fiction musical and we all just pretend it didn't happen. on one hand yes it had a boring white guy main character but like.... home depot just... Made it? And it had shit ton of box office sales? and no one even talks about this. this is like avatar (2009) all over again

indigobuntings

OK so. After a lot of frantic googling I realized this was all a dream. home depot did not in fact produce a wildly successful science fiction musical. I was on allergy meds and took a nap and my brain simply prophesized this. slightly disappointed because I wanted to watch it.
