(8 June 2023, @nosebleedclub, “Bunny”) 

I left my stuffed rabbit on the staircase when my family abandoned our home. This is all I remember of the last fire; being dragged out of my bed, holding on as tightly as I could to my little spaceship suitcase, looking back as my father carried me out of the house and seeing Bunbun abandoned on the third stair-step, leaning to one side. I hardly remember anything else before the last fire, either. My clearest memories start where natural air ends. When I was eight I went down to the memorial room, where water trickled all night and all day, stale and artificial, and dipped my hand into it. It was so cold it stung. My father had taken me there before, to say goodbye to my mother and her family; they hadn’t believed him, had chosen not to run even as the smoke grew thicker. I know I mourned for them, but I don’t know why. Bunbun is the only thing I have ever loved which I’ve been able to remember after the ash settled.

In The Light Of A Faded World

This morning Sharon and I talked about having thoughts about the end of our current world.

Not apocalyptic thoughts of nuclear fire or zombie-world cruelty. Just the little things: the effort we'd need to put, to make rainwater potable. Lack of access to coffee and washing powder. That sort of thing.

+

Was reminded again of the text I wrote for Derek Kinsman's TTRPG "In The Light Of A Faded World". A game where you play small animals rooting through the ruins of a once-human earth.

I am very proud about the work I did for this. A short story about a trio of animals exploring a shopping mall (explicitly modelled after 1 Utama); character blurbs for all the various types of animal you can play---mouse, stag beetle, frog, etc.

Tried to do with them the same thing I try with all my game texts: force the words to do many things at once.

The fiction bit in "Faded World" works as:

a full narrative (an agama lizard wants to get an apple from an abandoned arboretum for her tortoise mentor);

an example of play (here's how you, playing as a tiny animal, might approach difficult challenges);

a sample adventure location (the 1 Utama-inspired setting has branching terrain, discrete encounters, etc).

The character sketches I am particularly pleased with.

Each prompts you with a obvious physical ability (frogs sing; rabbits run)---but there are roleplaying angles to leverage from these traits: the mantis worries about their predator mentality; the mouse has complexes associated with her big-ass family; the shrew loathes his own gnawing hunger.

+

Of the writing I did in 2021 I am personally most proud of the stuff in "Faded World". I'd never tried animal protagonists before---ie: animal protags closer to the animal than the anthropomorphic. I always thought that it'd be hard to write them without being naff.

The ease I had with this came from Derek. In designing the game he does the simplest, neatest thing. In suggesting settings, Derek says:

"If you are playing with local friends, use your municipality as the setting ... What happens to your beach? Main street? Downtown? Your home?"

The ease I had with this also came from Amanda Lee Franck, who made all the art. I remember her talking about her process.

In walking around, taking reference photos, in making her illustrations, Amanda imagined her eye at the eye-level of the creatures she was drawing: at branch-level, at grass-level.

+

The ease I had with this comes from the same place, I think. Maybe because of where our minds are, nowadays?

Maybe because the meaning of a human being trying to live in (as opposed to clinging on to) the ruins of the Anthropocene is to live as an animal. At ground level, with more attention paid to rainwater and the earth between concrete.

Prompt #419

The coffin fell from the sky one day with no warning. Made of stone, radiating heat and covered in strange symbols, it’s no wonder it was an omen of the end of our world.

hmhm. let’s play “guess the kin”, i suppose.

-i can and will do anything that is asked of me. my greatest joy is taking care of others. i am eager to please, eager to do my best. if you ask me to do a good job, i will. no matter what the task. i do not like to talk about how far i have gone in the past to fulfill the requests i have gotten.

-i had severe depression and other mental illnesses. i felt so hollow and angry and hopeless that i caused the apocalypse, forcing everyone around me to feel my own pain and despair. but hey at least i had great tits!

-ehhh… people call me a “simp” but in my canon i wasn’t that bad, i swear! i don’t like how i act toward her in canon either! but in my timeline she was my incredible wife and her canon boyfriend was our amazing husband. we three lived a pretty damn happy life. i fixed cars for a living. this timeline is pretty divergent from the source!

-i love SPACE. i love my FRIENDS. i love my GIRLFRIEND. and APPARENTLY i’m a bit STUPID or whatever. also i commit murder. sorry [REDACTED], i haven’t gotten to that point in canon yet so i don’t know why i killed you 😔

-tfw you were GONNA run track in college and maybe get to the olympics one day and be able to support your mother financially to thank her for being amazing but NOOO the coach just HAD to break your leg. so now you’re part of a crime fighting team made up of your best friends and your artist boyfriend

-my dad sucks, my friends are cool, i shoot myself in the head on the regular, and i love my goth gf

hello to my small following!

i have recently decided to start making my own podcast! im curious if i can pull it off! i've directed plays so this shouldn't be too much harder (i am joking this is significantly harder)

ANYWAYS, the story is about a girl who is stuck in an apocalypse, the world is filled with horrible monsters and other creatures, but she decides to finally leave. she develops a device that allows her to jump across realities but a malfunction causes her to time travel as well. and it becomes chaos from there...

it's queer! it's time travel! it's silly! what else could you need?

i'll answer any questions if anyone has any!

(we don't have a set name yet but i will let everyone know as soon as we do!)

I have a lot of apocalypse character ideas but I don’t think we’ve tried “Eldest daughter with gifted kid syndrome who insists on taking care of everything bc she is terrified of failure and will probably almost or actually die because of it” yet.

#‘get used to failing in college.’ no❤️ #my group mates watching me do something I clearly cannot do and refuse help bc I’ll ‘figure it out.’: 👁👄👁 #‘not every OC has to be a self-insert’ yes they do. #yes they do. #twd #the walking dead #zombie apocalypses #apocalypses #vent

I woke up and apparently the moon was gonna hit the earth, but everyone was like, really chill about it.

I talked to my mom and she said: “Yeah, the moon will hit the earth in about three months, you still have time to say goodbye to the people who you care about." 

I was like "damn”, and then I said: “How do you guys knew before me?” And my mom said: “Its because we watch the news and you don´t.”

Six doves, dead on my porch this morning. [View image]. I think the rest of us are soon done for, in accordance with the prophecy; expect to see my name in [Land Inaccessible] within a few days. This after the seven stars I saw around the moon the previous night leaves me in no doubt as to the truth of the prophets’ words. Death is coming. She laughs in my ears. I’ll be learning her song three days hence, and then sitting down to wait. You should too.

If tumblr dies we should all regroup on vivino the wine-rating app. Can follow, can like, can post pictures, can post text. Just mention a Pinot and Chianti for the first few months until we outnumber the genuine wine people

#im kidding but I also don't want to worry about another tumblr apocalypse but also thinking about preparing some escape boat
