A NOTE REGARDING WIKIS AND LORE DOCS

I've mentioned this in Misutamojis before, but just realised there was nothing about it here so:

Please don't create public lore docs or wikis for GITM.

I totally understand that the story is already sprawling and there are a lot of characters to keep track of, but here is my reasoning behind this request:

GITM is still in its very early stages, there is so little that you concretely know about any of the characters/story that it is likely that any character bios people write will be fundamentally incorrect. Same goes for lore about the worldbuilding and the Sight. It's much easier to spread misinfo than fact, and certain stuff in fic is kept deliberately misleading/vague for fun story purposes.

GITM is not a TV show and I am not a showrunner. I am just another DCA fan on the internet who wants to chat about their OCs, I should be allowed to do that without having my every word indexed. To be clear, as I have said many many many many times in the past: people quoting what I say in discord, analysing my casual art/magmas/drabbles, or screencapping casual convos and jokes to pull them apart to dissect details from it makes me really really uncomfortable. If people started screencapping what I say to stick it on a doc for proof of XYZ thing about a character you guys haven't even met yet... I would probably stop interacting on this server point blank. Please imagine how you would feel if people were screenshotting your desktop background to read your filenames so they could theorycraft. That has happened in this server. More than once. Please stop. Your FOMO is not more important than my boundaries.

The intended reading experience for GITM is... reading GITM. Yes sometimes I share my personal headcanons and tidbits for characters, but I promise that all of this stuff will be discovered in fic. I don't want people to learn about Fool's favourite songs from a google doc. I want you to learn about it from GITM. That is why I am writing GITM: to tell you about these characters.

I would like the opportunity to make a GITM wiki myself at some point in the future.

I understand this might be frustrating, I know the lore is overwhelming as it stands. As always, if you have questions about the characters, you are welcome to ask in one of the discussion channels- I don't mind people @ ing me for that- I love talking about GITM! I am always happy to answer new FAQs at length.

Fuck it, I’m extremely curious bc I’m getting back into a ravenous Undertale kick and I’m desperate for more. Where do you find people to talk to about it? I’ve tried a couple Discord groups (mainly the one from the undertale subreddit) and it definitely seems like most of the people there are….kids? I just wish I could find others interested in undertale discourse like this

couldn't begin to tell you, sister. I don't really go out of my way to find fan communities, most of the people i met and became friends with came along because they followed me for art (or i followed them for the same reason) and we got chatting. i also tried the discord approach a couple of times and noped out/muted almost immediately. I'm just. not built for wide fandom spaces lol.

i will give you one rec though! andrew cunningham's server. you might know the guy from uhhh 80% of all the good UTDR video essays on youtube to this day (seriously, check him out if you haven't already. the guy's got some good analysis).

it's basically the only "public" fandom server I'm active in, due to the fact that they allow forums. i don't interact with the main channels (WAY too chaotic, way too many people), but i like the option to have smaller circles of people to talk to. like a gaggle of introverts meeting in the corner at a party lol.

I can't speak for the entire server, but the folks who joined my forum are quite canon/analysis oriented, as well as really fun to talk to! even andrew pops his head in from time to time to say his piece on whatever discussion we're having. it rules. also, it's a hater friendly zone over there. as long as you don't stoop to personal attacks/insinuations/insults, media criticism and negative opinions on stuff are pretty standard, if you're capable of defending your argument. just be ready for people to also disagree with you and push right back. many a friendly word spar I've had over there, it's super fun

#answered asks #added the last paragraph since i saw you go through my entire hater tag LMFAOOO

lowkey been thinking about making a discord server for mota writers (or readers who wanna contribute ideas/just have fun reading brainrot), ik there are existing mota servers but i feel like having one geared towards queer fic/writing specifically would be nice to have, since there are a lot for rp/x reader/general fandom already? open for more info if you're curious! vv

i'd love to have a personal space for everyone in there, like maybe having a specific channel for each writer (if they want it) so if anyone's keen on seeking out fic updates or reading ab wips and stuff from certain authors, it's easy to navigate. but then general channels too for brainrot, writing help, drabbles, collab seeking, requests/prompt fills, chatting, music recs, etc!

+ tag lists to choose from, like selecting whether you're a writer or reader or both, selecting what pairings you write for, basic things like age/pronouns, whether you want nsfw channels to be visible to you or not, all that sorta stuff. maybe fun monthly events too, like themed writing challenges, fic swaps, that kinda vibe? but also very casual and easygoing bc ik some servers can get overwhelming <3

i wouldn't post the link publicly, not to be exclusive tbc!! but bc i'd like to sus people out first to make sure there are no minors (personal preference since i'm sure there would be ample nsfw discussion for smut writing and headcanons lmaoo) or weirdos/trolls.

anyway! just been thinking ab this for a hot minute now, but with the summer approaching and probs a bit of a mota drought what with lots of the cast busy with other projects/promo, it feels like this might be a fun time to do smth like this. would love to know if there's any interest so ik whether it's worth putting the time into! and very open to brainstorming/suggestions/etc just lmk <3

– if this ends up being smth enough of us vibe with, i'll make another post once the server is made, but feel free to reply to this post or shoot me a message anyway if it's smth you'd like to be added to just so i can gauge interest. :)

Consider Kaz with long hair. Discuss.

#this was already a discussion on the discord #and the consensus was that Kaz has naturally curly hair that grows like a weed and this is what it looks like grown out #while the Gortash hair that I usually put him in is what happens when he's frustrated with it and gets ahold of shears #so I've been playing him with the long hair right now because I love it a lot #and may switch between it and the Gortash hair on a whim when I get bored of the other #oc:kazimir littlemoon #bg3 #bg3 tav #bg3 oc #baldur’s gate 3

do all ghosts have ghost jobs to earn ghosts money to pay ghost landlords?

honestly, I have sooooo many questions about how the ghost/supernatural society works in dbd. Like do they have an economy????

because no one is shocked at the boys asking to be paid however most of the other ghosts arent exactly shown doing jobs? From them mentioning the powers of the little girl ghost in ep1 and the fact they seem pretty happy with the magic 8 ball as payment might mean that they normally are happy for like weird trades and only take actual money because Crystal needs it for rent?

But.... if thats the case then what's up with their London office? are they renting it? if so how - from a ghost landlord??? because it still has electricity and no living people live there? also, do the other ghosts just kind of vibe around where they died and Charles and Edwin are weird for having their own place? or is there a housing shortage caused by ghosts that most of the living don't know about??

will it be impossible for me to ever buy a house and should I blame it on ghosts??????

#am I overthinking this? yes #will I stop? no #this had already been in my head but the discord discussing ghost clothes meant I could not stop thinking about it #dead boy detectives #I love this show so much

palworld being praised for being pokemon but edgy is so funny. as if that isn't the most boring and overdone thing within the pokemon fangame community. in what world is this a revolutionary concept. just go play pokemon reborn or something it's about the same quality (bad) but it's actually free

#bwark #im dead serious you sound like a bunch of teenagers with no personality lmao #also we were discussing this on discord earlier but it feels like a lot of the discussions around the quality of modern pokemon have more to #do with people wanting to make cheap shots at the devs and not actually saying something about the toxic working conditions in the video #game industry and crunch time #like the fact that you'll complain about nintendo and gamefreak not putting in any effort into their games yet bat for this game that steals #from smaller artists and has genuinelg no effort behind it says volumes #and before anybody says anything no i don't care that they're stealing from nintendo and gamefreak. they'll live #it's just the hypocrisy of it all lmao #also i already went off earlier about how something being edgy and ''mature'' doesn't automatically make it good #dark themes with no substance or respect to the topics they're handling are automatically immature to me #anyway im done talking about this now. this game will be forgetton about in a week #it's not going to be a ''pokemon killer'' you say this every time a new monster collecting game comes up and it never does anything #*forgotten. im so tired i forgot how to spell and thought that was right

[anxiously-sidequesting]

SPEAKING OF WHICH are there like any chill wizard101 discord servers or group chats that I could join. Or if anyone just wanna add me on discord shoot me a tumblr DM because I'm lonely and I like you guys :)

#ive had this thought for a while BUT IM JUST SHY. but after the soap opera morganthe dream i just had i need wizard friends to yell at #i got like one wizard mutual on discord already. if youre reading this you know who u are. love you /p <3 #other than that one person NONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS ON DISCORD PLAY THE GAME AND IM LOBELY #I WANNA TALK ABOUT WIZARDS AND SHIT #altho ill probably be a useless discord discussion partner because i have no literary comprehension- #-and i havent played the source material in years. okay #all my knowledge on wizard101 is either personal headcanons im now considering as facts or secondhand knowledge from the internet #also my ocs. i love talking about my ocs even though they have the depth of cardboard #ALSO LOVE HEARING ABOUT OTHER PPLS OCS THATS MY FAVORITE THING TO READ FROM MY FRIENDS #like you could dm me at 4 in the morning to talk about your ocs i would be so happy #altho fair warning i can suck at dms bc im an anxious little chihuahua so if ur gonna add me i must warn u. i text back 5 years later #either i send 200 messages in the span of 5 minutes or you wont hear from me until we're both 30. sorry thats just the autism for u #BUT YEAH if anyone wants to add me they can #this fandom is like the only fandom in the world im comfy with interacting with LMAO #wizard101 #w101 #wiz101 #text posts

I'm already starting to regret that I joined yet another Discord server.

#personal #i'm trying to learn about game modding and while there are several channels dedicated to different areas of modding #the resources are scattered are all over the place #and there's so much discussion in between those resources/posts that it takes a long time to find anything #i searched one keyword because i couldn't find a pinned post about it and there were 47 pages of results for that keyword alone #yeah i'm not gonna go through all that #i'm surprised anyone who joined there recently can learn anything #unless they have a lot of time and patience or something #it literally took me hours last night because i didn't know shit xD and trying to navigate that place is like #trying to find a needle in the haystack. plus some of the creators there are so rude to anyone who's just as confused about stuff as i am #and some of the 'newbie' tutorials they put up there are literally not that great for beginners #unless they already have good basic information about how to use blender or ue4 or other stuff #it's a fucking chaos honestly #this is why i don't really use discord anymore #i get disoriented and overwhelmed when there's too much stuff at once and it's not even well-organized or well-explained #putting up an archive for resources and tutorials would be great. or at least locking up certain servers so they wouldn't be #clogged up with discussion would be great too #but i guess it's just me then

[ I should probably clarify that most references to earth pronouns/romantic terms/sexuality are just a loose parallel for simplicity sake or intended for humorous purposes, depending on the situation

ratch himself does not care what you assume about him (although he will claim a.sexual if harassed about it because he grasps it's the Lack Of S.exual Attraction one), what pronouns or 'gendered' terms you call him, nor plans to thoroughly research humanity's complex topics about this unless it becomes medically relevant to a human he grows close to, because he isn't human

he will also call you whatever you want especially if his initial assumption is Corrected and then won't think about it again without a reason

#example: a child who has heard vehicles/ships referred to as she/her calling him she/her would not cause him to bat an eye #most associate him as dad/grandpa with occasional mom #he accepts this #and goes on about his day #[CANON|HC NOTES] heart full of broken dreams #if you've known me a long time you already know this but for those that have not i will state it here instead of casual discord discussions #suggestive #barely

[catmaidetho]

personally, i really love the mail system this season for the immersion of it. sure, you could send your fellow hermit a discord message, but where's the fun in that? how about sending them a LETTER. it also provides a sort of like, business email/personal email split, where the mail system can be used for in-game requests/conversations and other channels can be used for out-of-game conversations. its delightful and the best thing theyve done i think

#khaos.txt #it also negates the whole awkward meeting up after theyve clearly dm'd each other on discord #to discuss what theyre doing #if u send them a letter well you've already done the set-up for this meeting

[a-god-in-ruins-rises]

is anyone else interested in joining my server? not quite ready to invite people yet but should be soon. just gauging interest right now. “like” or reply to this post and when i’m ready i’ll send you an invite.

server will probably be dual purpose. 

there will be (1) a semi-public side oriented toward general discussion (topics like politics, books, history, philosophy, religion, media, science, tech, etc) and community building (nothing is set in stone yet but i am imagining activities like book club, movie watching, playing games, contests and giveaways, etc). and there will be (2) a private side dedicated to more focused discussions and internal cult matters.

the server won’t be a “safe space” -- i’m fine with a bit of edge (within ToS. not trying to get terminated.) -- but i do want this server (at least the semi-public side) to be /relatively/ welcoming and civil. so if you’re egregiously toxic or vulgar or prone to shitflinging or sperging out you won’t be welcome here. neither will you be welcome if you’re overly sensitive.

otherwise, as long as you follow the rules, you will be fine. though i always reserve the right to executively veto your presence for any reason.

#discord server round 2 #i'll probably be reblogging this periodically for a bit #lurkers are probably okay #but i really want people who will be active and contribute to discussions #again in a mostly civil manner #but yeah i have a few people who have already said they want to join #but i just want to gauge interest #there's a minimum number of people i'm looking for in order to move forward with this #also while almost anyone is welcome #this server will probably lean toward the right #but part of the idea is that i want unorthodox and radical thinkers #from across the political spectrum #want there to be healthy debates and exchanges of ideas #also would be really cool if anyone who has experiences moderating would join and help me out with this #along with this i'm also trying to set up a wordpress and/or substack #i'm not sure how any of this works btw #i'm figuring it out as i go #but i want to try to create a writing project #potentially a collaborative group writing project #where members can submit poems and essays and short stories and whatever #in accordance with the spirit of the overall project #i'm not sure which is better for something like this #wordpress or substack #so yeah if you have any experience with this sort of stuff would really appreciate if you messaged me directly

BEHOLD.

A Very Important Thing happening in the 2006 run, as I recorded it on my liveblogging notes.

Me: oh hey he's gone to meet his old bestie Frenchie who apparently how owns a restaurant with a partner

HOLD ON A SECOND

HOOOOLD ON

Aw that's cute, Frenchie taking care of his bestiest bestie

Yeah but sure they meant business partner but let me play on its ambiguity.

let me believe.

[context: "Frenchie is gay and he's secretly in love with Marc, who is completely clueless" has been my most beloved headcanon since the first issues of the original run. And I've been going through all the MK comics almost blind]

WHAT

WHAAAAAAT

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT

IT'S REAL

IT'S REAL

IT WASN'T JUST MY DELUSION

IT'S REAL

THIS THING EXISTS IN A MAIN RUN AND IT'S REAL

FRENCHIE CAME OUT AS GAY

FOR REAL

It's not me being devia- ahem suffering from professional bias for being into fandom stuff

IT'S REAL

if he also had a crush on Marc I'm screaming

well of course Marc's clueless

AS PER MY HEADCANON

IT'S REAL

EVEN THE CRUSH FOR MARC IS REAL

IT'S ALL REAL

A Yoshiki kin feature: being constantly told "oh look, those moles/freckles are just like your father's, you're literally like his reflection- ugh, this alcoholic bastard" and getting traumatized into self-loathing as a result

#this is actually a guess of mine #but Yoshiki's mother is shown to compare him to his father a lot and in a negative way #I'm sure his insecurity about his face and moles comes from there #plus in that extra when Hikaru cut his bangs he ended up actually looking a LOT like his father with his hair cut too short #poor little thing I feel you #already discussed this on Discord but who cares #hgsn #hikaru ga shinda natsu #the summer hikaru died

my old person trait is that any time I see a livestream / seminar where the only places to join or watch are on twitch or discord I’m like. ok well I Simply am not going to do that

#like I’m sorry but please we all know how to use zoom just do that #and like. zoom even has options for not letting ppl who join participate. like that’s a thing it can do #i just #aaaaaaaa #please it’s year 3 of the pandemic literally everyone knows how to navigate zoom by now #lol #don’t mind my rambling this was just sparked by an annoying @everyone mention in a fb group (already annoying) for a book discussion with #an author but only accessible on those two platforms #aaaaa idk even why it’s so annoying it’s just. we already have a service for this. please just use that one #or y’know do a stream on a website where you don’t even need an account to watch. revolutionary. that #i think it’s that zoom is literally for meetings and seminars etc and twitch and discord just have such a different vibe idk #anyway #personal #don’t mind me
