We built this city on Music With Rocks In @whatisacrescentrollforinitiative - Tumblr Blog

I used to have my pronouns, Internet name, etc in a pinned post tagged with my original post tag such that you could simply go to my blog and click the tag rather than searching it, but that post was outdated and I replaced it with a blog description so now I’m making a new pinned for tag-clicking purposes.

I’m also using this as an opportunity to clarify something:

Yes, my Internet name is Basil. Yes, I have an OC named Basil. The OC technically came first, but the story he’s from (Library of Dragons) was a vague plotbunny when I chose this name for myself. By the time I started seriously working on it, Basil had been my Internet name for so long that I’d forgotten about it.

While I generally have no preference between the names Basil and Basil Tango, I do ask that you call me Basil Tango in situations where it might otherwise be unclear which of us you are referring to. Any posts that I tag as Basil are about the OC unless stated otherwise.

Thanks!

I feel like @time-traveler-that-fucked-up and you would have a very productive conversation

Well, I'd be welcome for that conversation. as long as I don't have them chucked at me. I've had many officals thrown at me before. it's been unpleasant.

time-traveler-that-fucked-up

I do not want to be chucked. It sounds unpleasant.

timekeeper-offical

its very unpleasant. what is it you wish to talk about?

time-traveler-that-fucked-up

Please destroy time. It has been very inconvenient for me.

timekeeper-offical

Ha ha, no

time-traveler-that-fucked-up

Worth a shot. Curses upon your name, and have a wonderful day.

So it'll be by my hands.

*Astrachronis is dumbstruck* WHA- WHAT?! WHY? HOW? NOPE. TIME REVERSE.

You're on thin ice, mister. No you didn't do anything wrong, it's just. Climate change.

I just came up with a really inconvenient, possibly unplayable four-player game: The Evil Advisor

All you need is a completely normal chess board and a deck of cards that you can somehow divide into an even amount of cards that mean "yes" or "no". Out of the four players, only two need to know how to play chess - those play the role of advisor. The other two play as rulers. At the start of the game, both advisors pull a random card from the deck, which dictates whether their goal is to win the game, or lose it. They keep their respective card, showing it to nobody else.

The rulers, who ultimately choose where to move the pieces, always aim to win the chess game, and also know that the advisor may or may not be on their side, and don't know whether to trust the advisor or not.

If the ruler wins the chess game, they win the whole game. An advisor only wins if they reach their own goal - if an advisor's goal was to lose, but the ruler wins, the advisor loses, and vice versa.

rathayibacter

you should add a set of randomized bonus rules on top of chess that only the advisors know about, so even if everyone knows how to play chess the rulers still feel beholden to their advisors, and the advisors want to say only enough that the rulers can play without knowing so much that the advisors become redundant

ADHD affects how I experience time, not how I experience attachment. I love you. I miss you. I just don't realize how long it’s been since I last said that, let alone messaged.

I understand that most normal functioning brains need regular engagement to maintain a bond. Absence doesn’t diminish my affection. My silence isn’t neglect or disinterest. It’s time blindness and object impermanence. The contact gap is purely neurological, not emotional. Thank you for being patient with my inconsistency and holding a seat in your heart for me.
