God its be so cool if at one point in yiik the characters actually got suspicious of or noticed all the timeline inconsistencies (which are supposedly on purpose to show how the world is falling apart but it doesnt rlly come off like that lol). Like imagine if Rory was an actual hardcore scene kid from the 2000s and when he tells that the Alex he tries to look it up and there’s just. Nothing. Or if Rory tried to access Myspace or tumblr on his phone and he couldn’t but he blamed it on a website crash or something. Idk just food for thought
In my interpretion it's about pretending everything is fine while the world crumbles around you. You know the world is messed up but you can't really do anything about it so you just put on a brave face.
Really dark song for such a poppy upbeat sound.
Oh boy do I love the extensional horror of having no control over my life!

i'm not seeing any posts about it here yet, but they solved the silas birchtree riddle on reddit and there's some pretty juicy lore! first, entering "paranoid" backwards nets this conspiracy board:
then, from the black letters in the corners of some of the pages people pieced together the code "connect the dots", backwards again, gets a whopping 12 page chapter about the ciphertology cult! it's...something.
so in summary, bill puppeted a guy's corpse, became a cult leader, seemingly married over a hundred people, mass-possessed his followers, tried to get them to build his portal. his lone dissenter was a spinster who made anti-bill chick tracts and started a fire. a waco-style shootout ensued, killing silas' already-rotting corpse a second time in a disturbingly detailed manner. at some point he made some of his followers drink the kool-aid too.
entering the lady's name, emmaline butternubbins, into the computer finally gets you the reward for solving all the riddles: hd wallpapers of various graphics from the book of bill. but frankly this is more interesting and fucked up to me.

"Have you ever heard of Orchard Lake, Kansas? Chances are you haven't. It was erased from every map, book, and historical record, and the US Government's official position on it is "stop calling us or we'll send a drone to your house." (I learned this the hard way.) But if you drive to the exact latitude and longitude of you'll see bullet casings, faded billboards, and bow ties strewn across the desert sands.
That's because Orchard Lake had another name before it was wiped off the record: BillVille.

The First Cult In History That Was Right

As a historian of esoteric religions, I thought I'd discovered the strangest sects America had yct to offer (see "Chapter 3: Kevin's Gate") but that all changed when I found the following items tucked away in an old trunk in an estate sale on the out- skirts of Bootstrap, Missouri."]
I hope ao3 is back to normal when I wake up.
I had a burst of inspiration.

Hay, as an artist what's your fav part of making a new oc? Is it character design? personality? Or somthn else?
This might suprise you, but personality is king for me! Most times, I start with a personality that I think would be fun for a character and build a design around that. If it's not a personality, I'm basing a character around it's a concept.....like what if Dr. Fate from DC had the personality of the Joker? Or what if there was a graffiti artist ghost?
