Andrew's got a lot of complicated feelings about what's going on that are suddenly a lot harder to repress/ignore, but he's trying to do the right thing even when in the past he wasn't nearly so accepting of his situation.

He's not intentionally making a dig at Alalia for her disappearance, nor is she trying to be callous; it's just a delicate subject and they approach it in different ways.

I have so many thoughts about the lunatic cultist...Purity-Town specific things below:

Pre-cult and golden-blue robes, them wielding just a simple silver staff with a sharpened point on the tip, scratching out their spell circles by hand in the dirt, triple-checking they’ve written every rune correct. Carrying a pouch of chalk when they need to draw out a circle on stone.

Then, by hardmode, with the ancient spirits released, with magic once again flourishing in a way it hadn’t in 500 years, them being able to simply spin their staff or wave their hands to create it.

(Stardust dragon staff is there just because I wanted to draw it and it was fairly fitting since they’re a summoner/mage and the phantasm dragon has some strong similarities to the stardust dragon, plus the colors fit, but in the actual story they’d probably have another custom staff of their own.)

I imagine them as a sort of warlock, someone who even in pre-hardmode was able to study and manipulate magic in a way unparalleled since the spirits were locked away 500 years ago, learning and pulling together near-forgotten practices from all sorts of sources to come away with an incredible mastery over it all. Creating dolls and binding them to souls, granting themselves functional immortality, mastering magic (and stealing dark secrets from an eldritch god-level being at the expense of their own sanity), and reviving ancient practices.

(Just thinking of the visual similarities between the ancient manipulator and the demon altars...)

Screw it, can we just get a script for part of an episode of A-town at this point?

[For those of you just tuning in: A-Town is the shitty postwar sitcom inspired by the life of Jake Berenson, to the eternal annoyance of Jake Berenson. The main character is a kid named Brandon A., who lives with his nuclear family — mom Dr. A, dad Mr. A, sister Daisy A. (secretly a yeerk named Zeptron 420), dog Mopsy (secretly Brandon's friends in morph) — in Southern California at the height of the war. Brandon secretly leads a team of alien-fighting shapeshifters that consists of him, his best friend J.J., his cousin Trina, his sometimes-girlfriend Crystal, Trina's sometimes-boyfriend Liam, and Liam's stepsister Gina.]

We open on the spacious kitchen of a large suburban home. Mr. A sits reading the paper and smoking a pipe inside, while his son Brandon sits at the same table with a large set of schematics spread out in front of him. Dr. A, in a lab coat overtop a house dress, walks into the room.

Dr. A: Brandon, what's that?

Brandon: *throws himself bodily over the map* Nothing!

[cue laugh track]

Dr. A: Is that... Dear sweet heavens above, it is!

[The camera pans up to show Brandon is clearly failing to cover the floor plan for a Blade ship, and that Mr. A is now craning around the side of his paper to see what the commotion is about.]

Dr. A: Honey, our son... is doing... *loud gasp* Dunces and Dragoons!

Mr. A: *drops his pipe on his paper in shock* *lights the paper on fire, must hastily tamp it out* Dungarees and Dingbats? My own SON?

[cue laugh track]

Brandon: Mom, Dad, I would never! I'm just... I'm only... It was... *directly to the camera* I have no choice — they think I'm playing Dunkin' and Dragnet! *to Dr. A.* There's this alien invasion, Mom, and me and cousin Trina are two of the only six people who have the power to —

Mr. A: *very high pitched* It's affecting his mind already! Look at him, he's lost the plot!

[Cut to a set that looks like the waiting room for a dentist's office. Brandon's older sister Daisy is standing near the front of a queue that stretches the length of the room. Like almost everyone else in line, she is wearing a t-shirt for The Gathering; hers is bright pink and cut into a crop-top, paired with a pink miniskirt and platform heels. The walls are adorned with posters that have slogans like "Do your part for the Yeerk Empire today! If you see a suspicious animal: slay, slay, SLAY!" and "Don't forget to sign up your host's friends and family for our Eternal Member perks program!" Visser Six-Hundred is at the front of the line, typing names into a computer.]

Visser Six-Hundred: Next!

Daisy: Um, hi? I'm Daisy, and after you guys lured me into the Gathering by promising I'd get to meet shirtless Tom Welling — which still hasn't happened, by the way — you stuck my head in a pool and then this total jerk named Zeptron 420 took my body? And anyway, Zeptron never showed up after that last feeding, and I was just wondering...?

Visser Six-Hundred: Not my problem.

Daisy: No, I get that Mr. Welling is a very busy man, but I don't think I'm supposed to go anywhere without Zeptron controlling me?

Visser Six-Hundred: Also not my problem. You have any idea how backed up we've been around here since the kandrona shortage started? Leave now, check back in next cycle, and if Zeptron's not back by then we'll call you.

Daisy: Okay, but...

[camera pans to Daisy's face; the actor, does a very convincing job of realization dawning on the world's silliest airhead]

Daisy: K-thanks-bye! *runs for it*

[Cut back to the A family kitchen. Dr. A is taking Brandon's temperature.]

Dr. A: Looks normal to me. Maybe he isn't getting Durkins and Drainage syndrome yet.

Mr. A: Yeah, if anyone has brain rot it's that darn dog. Thing ain't right, I'm telling you.

[Cut to Mopsy, a fluffy grey-and-white terrier. The dog is currently staring intently at a copy of For Whom the Bell Tolls, which is propped open on the floor.]

Dr. A: What do you mean, ain't right?

Brandon: Yeah, Dad, 'ain't' isn't a word!

[cue laugh track]

[Cut back to Mopsy, who has clearly overheard this conversation and has attempted to hide the book by sticking it underneath a laptop computer, and is playing innocent by staring at the screen instead.]

Mr. A: Just look at her! She's playing Minesweeper!

[The camera zooms in on the screen, revealing that this is in fact the case. An extreme close-up of one of the dog's paws moving across the computer track pad is paired with a shot of the screen going to Xs as she hits a mine. A dog's upset whine is heard.]

Brandon: Come on, she's not even doing well.

J.J.: *in voiceover meant to indicate thought-speak* You try avoiding mines with these tiny paws, loser!

Dr. A: You know, maybe we should get that checked out.

J.J.: VET? Not the vet!

Brandon: *out loud* Don’t be such a baby!  Get control of your morph, man!

Dr. A: Then again, maybe the Dungenous Drags are getting to him.

Brandon: Uh, I mean...

J.J.: *runs for it*  Bye!

Brandon: I mean, after her!

[While Dr. and Mr. A chase "Mopsy" around the house, J.J. maneuvers Brandon into being the only one in the room when he demorphs. Brandon has to hastily morph into Mopsy to avoid being found out. Trina and Liam stop by Brandon's house to ask Brandon a question, and Brandon maneuvers Liam into being Mopsy just as Mr. A is pulling out the pet carrier. But then human Trina rushes into the room, creating a diversion by claiming a "hairspray emergency", and Mopsy runs off. It's at that point that the B plot intersects with the A plot.]

[Daisy walks into the house. She's wearing black skinny jeans, fingerless gloves, and rainbow hair extensions. There's pop punk music blasting from the giant headphones slung around her neck.]

Mr. A: Get the— *watches Mopsy escape out the front door* Dang it!

Daisy: Dad, you might have noticed I’ve been going through some changes lately.  Like I’m becoming a whole different person.

Mr. A: Honey, at your age, it's perfectly normal.

[Mr. A pulls out a box of tampons, seemingly from nowhere, and hands them to Daisy.]

[cue laugh track]

[Liam-as-Mopsy runs around the side of the house, now pursued by J.J. Trina is running after J.J.; together they complete two entire loops of the house. Meanwhile, Brandon is on the phone inside, everyone else passing by in the background. There's presumably an unseen swap, because Liam-as-a-human is seen chasing a different Mopsy, pursued by an enraged-looking Trina who is now holding a knife, while she is in turn pursued by Gina, who appears to be trying to talk her down. There's no audible dialogue, but we cut to Crystal on the other end of the phone, standing in her living room.]

Crystal:... got it! *hangs up the phone* *yells up the stairs* Hey, Mom?

Crystal's Mom: *enters the room* Yes, Crystal?

Crystal: You're looking a little unwell. Why don't you...

[Crystal touches her mom's arm. We hear the tinkling piano notes used to indicate someone is being acquired, and glitter effects briefly fill the screen.]

Crystal's Mom: Now that you mention it...

[She passes out onto the couch, apparently as a side effect of being acquired. This has never happened before, but with this show it's generally best to avoid asking too many questions.]

[Cut back to the A house. Daisy and Dr. A are standing in the kitchen.]

Daisy: Mom, do you ever feel like the whole world's out to get you? Like, do you ever suspect there's a giant conspiracy of alien invaders who are...

Dr. A: *distracted* Oh honey, did you get passed up to be Prom Queen again?

[Dr. A drops a kiss on Daisy's head, before running off in pursuit of Mopsy, who has gotten ahold of the knife and is trying to use it to pick the lock on the back door.]

[Cut to the exterior, where Liam and Brandon are watching the knife blade repeatedly stab through the door six inches off the ground.]

Brandon: You cheated on her again?

Liam: *sighs* Yeah, I cheated on her again.

[Cut back to the interior. Cue ominous music, as the chase speeds up. We see Trina-as-human again, gloating over who we can only assume is Liam-as-Mopsy. They struggle, and she makes an exaggerated face of shock as the dog is meant to have bitten her. Mopsy goes running off again, only to be caught by J.J. There's a scuffle, they roll behind the bushes, and a human Liam emerges holding J.J.-as-Mopsy. Brandon comes running outside with an expression of horror, and Gina dive-tackles both Liam and J.J.-as-Mopsy. Using extreme close-ups, we get only tiny hints of the scuffle, but the human J.J. and Liam would suggest that Gina has now ended up as Mopsy.]

[The montage sequence becomes something straight out of Scooby Doo, with all of the characters sprinting between doors and various mini-encounters including one where two copies of Mopsy are seen backing into each other and yapping in horror, running off in opposite directions before Dr. A can see their error. Why anyone is bothering to morph the dog at all remains an open question.]

[The montage ends with a clang as Mr. A shuts the door of the pet carrier on a Mopsy. The camera pans to a scratched and dirt-covered Brandon, then Trina, then Liam, then Gina... It's J.J. in the pet carrier. As the camera pushes toward J.J.'s fluffy little face frozen in an expression of horror, there's a smash cut to Crystal-as-Crystal's-mom standing in a vet's office talking to a middle-aged woman.]

Crystal: No, I did not lose your hamster — I know exactly where he is. I left him in the same room as Mr. Tyrus's ball python, and... *leans around a door frame to look off camera* *winces at what she sees*

Middle-Aged Extra: Y-yes?

Crystal: You can still see him... He's that big lump right in the middle...

Middle-Aged Extra: *screams* *faints*

Crystal: *to the camera* Brandon better hurry up. If she thinks that's bad, she should see what I did to the parrot.

Parrot: *off camera* And f[bleep] you too, you [bleep] [bleep] [bleep]!

[J.J.-as-Mopsy gets loaded into the car. The music is getting ominous, and all is looking lost, when suddenly Daisy runs out in front of the minivan.]

Daisy: Mom, Dad, I can't take it anymore! I've had someone inside me, and his name is Zeptron!

[Thus, the day is saved and J.J. is snatched from the jaws of a routine pelvic exam by Mr. and Dr. A cutting the vet visit short to instead rush Daisy to the doctor for remedial Sex Ed. Only Brandon realizes what she's talking about, judging by the expression on his face, but the camera doesn't linger there. Instead we see the minivan pull up to the vet at top speed. Mr. A gets out only long enough to thrust the pet carrier into the arms of Crystal-as-Crystal's-mom, and then the car drives off. It screeches to a stop at a near-identical office, only the poster of a dog wearing a stethoscope out front has become a poster of a uterus wearing a stethoscope. Dr. A walks in, dragging Daisy by the arm and shaking her head.]

[Cut back to the vet's office, where J.J.-as-Mopsy licks Crystal-as-Crystal's-mom on the cheek. Cue laugh track. Cue awww sounds.]

[As the credits fill half the screen, we get one last scene of Brandon standing outside Daisy's door. He's obviously nervous, rehearsing a conversation. Brandon leans against Daisy's door and it swings open, causing him to stumble into the room. Cue laugh track.]

Brandon: Hey, Daisy? About what you said earlier...

[Daisy is sitting with her back to the camera. When she does turn around, we get a slow reveal that she's back in pancake makeup, blond hair, and a pink sundress. She has the Myspace page for The Gathering open on the computer in front of her.]

"Daisy": *long pause* Yes, Brandon? You are my human brother, and I am happy to assist.

Brandon: Uh. *slow close-up on his face, as he clearly realizes what has happened* Never mind.

"Daisy": *another long pause* I'm sorry to hear that, Brandon. Human minds are often imperfect, are they not?

[cue laugh track]

"There are no shortage of sites on the internet that feature adult content," he says, as we're entering an era where the options for adult content hosting are dwindling drastically and corporate-enforced censorship runs rampant, tearing online communities to the ground.

Okay so I'm gonna have a hot take about the fucking harry potter game. Just scroll past this if you don't wanna engage with it.

The "boycott" has not. Fucking. Worked. It was bound to be popular and people screaming about how you shouldn't buy/play it has been free advertisement. That being said, in a perfect world it would have tanked and been played by a handful harry potter-adults and not made back the production costs but that's not the world we live in.

In my opinion, you as an individual, should not buy/play it. None of that "I'll give 60 bucks to a charity clmbating antisemitism/transphobia so I can play it without worrying about my conscious"-bullshit.

However, given that it's got so much buzz people are going to watch playthroughs and game streams. This is where left-wing streamers can play a huge role. From what I understand the game is pretty fucking antisemitism and as we know the franchise is owned and largely controlled by a terf, which is why these things need to be pointed out. A left-wing person streaming the game and actually discussing the themes and the problems with the game and making fun of jk and whatever could have a large impact on the way the game is viewed. Instead of having only apolitical/outspoken transphobes/right-wing people stream the game and have the antisemitism and transphobia fly straight over their heads, some procentage of people could instead be exposed to left-wing ideas. On top of that, the charity work that could be done would outshine whatever charity work some streamers may or may not do without playing the game.

People sharing spoilers and pointing out the antisemitism and low quality of the game should be getting more attention than the people screaming about how playing the game makes you the scum of the earth.

#i admit i have gone back and forth on this and that's partially bc i don't personally care to watch any playthrough of it #but i think its important that the left attempts to control the public perception of this game and if we cede that ground the game is just #gonna be known as the Buy to make a liveral cry or whatever-game #if the left can cotrol the narrative we can gain ground in the 'internet town square' and that's more important than the ideological purity #of individuals #anti jkr #harry potter #hogwarts legacy #sorry for bringing twitter leftist drama to tumblr

Generation 4/5 are officially recreated! Now I just have to make the throuple elders and salvage what I can of the family tree by, uh, importing but then killing a bunch of people...

This isn't the house they'll be in, I've got to build for that, it's just a test save. It was a little laggier with these guys than my earlier tests, no doubt because these guys actually have CC, but not unplayable? I'm still going to see what I can do to mitigate it, since this test save didn't even have any other sims in (besides what Register started auto-assigning) but it's theoretically playable as is just stuttery.

Anyway, within like ten minutes of being in this test save Alfred tried to chattering teeth four of the others.

I cancelled his attempt to blast Tessa before it could happen but Alfred Pierce you little shit—

#i've still got to adjust ages. connect family members that couldn't fit in the same household. make more households to go in the town. #wish it was easier to find downloadable library files for families instead of just .sims lmao #anyway it's a lot of work and clean-up to go but it was nice playing them again for even a few minutes to test #purity's rambling #the pierce legacy text posts

Welcome to a cruel world. The known world of Terraria, now wrought by the greater Calamity. The Dawn of Calamity will be a fancomic series focusing on Terraria's Calamity mod. I believe it will make enough sense without having played, and I will take my generous liberties lol, but some things might be a little subtle.

This is a world filled generously with magic, for the better or worse. While many can use magic, understanding and truly tapping into those abilities is something that many just can't quite reach, if they even bother to try. Most have seen the dangers, whether the risk of being quickly taken down by Yharim's forces, to fearing becoming villains themselves, many learn what makes their life easy, what can keep them safe from common tribulations, and leave it there as a simple skill of theirs. Though, some have taken the rise to power, and soon from the ashes will come a new revolution.
