[12,000 years into the future]

Two teenagers, wandering the outskirts of civilization, take a small detour from the day’s adventure, drawn by the mysterious allure of a metal sign.

The taller, the leaner of the two takes the initiative. He approaches the object of interest, paying no mind to the now-clicking meter clipped to his legwear.

“Well, well, well, what is one of these babies doing in a place like this?”

“It’s an old, forgotten corner of the world, dumbass,” bites the second, a shorter, rounder boy, “where vintage, nerd shit reigns supreme.”

The taller boy draws yet closer. “I mean, how is this thing even still standing?” He asks with a laugh as he rattles the post back and forth.

The plate creaks as it is playfully thrashed about, before falling from its place, down into the sand.

“Welp, there’s your answer. ‘Cause we hadn’t come around yet,” the little cynic shrugs.

“Oh, shut up, you,” the jester playfully retorts.

“What does it even say?”

“How’s about we find out for ourselves, bud?”

As the investigator lowers himself to read, the bystander, still a few paces back from everything, notices a glyph that makes the distance close in the blink of an eye.

“WAIT, HOLY SHIT, IS THAT ENGLISH?”

“Woah, now that you mention it, you’re right! Heh, you and your vintage nerd shit! Good eye, bro!” He offers a fist bump, but the once-dismissive youth is now too absorbed to notice.

“This must be from before the New Age! Give me a minute, I can probably read this, if all this rust’ll let me.”

In a rare show of excitement, the boy leans in a bit closer, just close enough to barely - yet unmistakably - make out the first two lines.

THIS PLACE IS NOT A PLACE OF HONOR.

thinking about stories about ancient civilizations and how they left behind places and dangerous weapons and how WE could be one of them

#this is not a place of honor... #what is here was dangerous and repulsive to us #waste isolation pilot plant #long-term nuclear waste warnings #how we try to warn future generations of nuclear waste burial plants and try to make them as inhabitable as possible #but still it prob wont stop ppl digging up sites in the future #curiosity kills the cat #and all that

Getting into a fandom extremely late (which is always what I do) can be a lot because there's years worth of archeological history of discourse, cliched jokes, character flanderization, infamous moments, ect. And also people who already came and went from the fandom, often with (very understandable) hurt feelings and resentment.

But as a newbie, especially if you don't have the time or ability to unpack all of that, you're just like ??????? And continue to venture deeper in amongst the long-term nuclear waste warning messages you can't fully comprehend

#this is not a place of honor #what is here was dangerous and repulsive to us #the danger is still present in your time as it was in ours #haha... im in danger! #im also just... no longer able to entertain fandom discourse because I'm mentally retired to Florida. so i do not seek it out #I would say nobody else should either but im not the boss of you

System Collapse, ch. 3, p. 39: "I saw I had four private messages waiting from Arada, Amena, Overse, and Pin-Lee. I can’t do that right now. Pretending I’m fine for Mensah was hard enough."

8, 165: "Then he sent me a note back: So, you may not know this, but I read your letter to Dr. Mensah, the one you sent when you left Port FreeCommerce. I think you’re absolutely the right person to write this. I can’t handle that right now so I’m just going to archive it for later."

10, 212: "As I led the humans into the hangar, the contact with AdaCol2 started to drop. I sent, End session, acknowledge. It sent back, End session. There was a pause, then: Be safe. I can’t deal with that right now."

[holdoncallfailed]

i hate to be the basic bitch i am, but emilia holdoncallfailed, can i request a playlist based around the kind of distorted hauntedness of battery in your leg?

dear anon, i don't think you're a basic bitch but i do suspect you're some kind of emotional masochist based on this request.

spotify + youtube

how do you sleep? — lcd soundsystem [i think this is the closest analog to BIYL due to the distorted hauntedness you described and also being about james murphy's estranged ex-collaborator who was a childhood friend of his.]

jane cum — japanese breakfast

hazel st — deerhunter [h/t gen of course]

i don't smoke — mitski

wish you were dead — scheer

nobody else will be there — the national

don't holdyrbreath (girly-sound version) — liz phair

fillmore jive — pavement

beside myself — fanny

winter song — yoko ono

which will — nick drake

says elliott — sibylle baier

moon over goldsboro — the mountain goats

razor love — neil young [not on spotify unfortch]

railroad boy — the magnetic fields

margaret vs. pauline — neko case

cold apartment — vagabon

1995 — the radio dept.

a worrying thing — yo la tengo

by some miracle — philip selway

comin' back to me — jefferson airplane

BONUS: how do you sleep? — john lennon [far, far more bitter than BIYL but nevertheless probably THE ultimate band breakup song and the obvious inspiration for the lcd soundsystem track. it also features a climactic guitar solo like in BIYL—this one is played by george harrison so it's similar to the blur song in that there is a ghost of the old band within it via guitar solo...something to think about...]

#Anonymous #playlist #i feel like this playlist needs the nuclear reaction warning attached to it #what is here is dangerous and repulsive to us. this message is a warning about danger.

her new url is komsomolgirl

i’m sharing this so people can block her. i can’t stop people from sending her anything, and I’m not exactly in the position to say “don’t be mean to terfs”, but directly engaging with her is just going to give her more reason to feel like a victim. no one wins when you talk to terfs.

#make fun of her on your own blogs all you want tho lmao #This place is not a place of honor. no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here. nothing valued is here. #What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger. #trans mail

[unmakingandincorporeality]

do y'ever think about how anthropologists of a distant future culture might find a nuclear waste site and read the messages on it and go "oh I recognize this from the digital fragments of memes we keep finding, this place must have been a really popular comedy venue"

#this place is a message … and part of a system of messages … pay attention to it! #Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture. #This place is not a place of honor … no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here … nothing is valued here. #What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger. #The danger is in a particular location … it increases towards a center … the center of danger is here … #of a particular size and shape‚ and below us. #the danger is still present‚ in your time‚ as it was in ours. #The danger is to the body‚ and it can kill. #The form of the danger is an emanation of energy. #The danger is unleashed only if you substantially disturb this place physically. This place is best shunned and left uninhabited. #cbat

i am of a place which is not a place of honor, and a place in which no great deed shall ever be commemorated. The place from whence I came is repulsive to me. It shall be shunned.
