Do you think the decommissioning squad has a way to make sure people don’t just. Write down somewhere that they were in the KND

great question! i think, even if an operative did that, they wouldn't understand it? like, if you just wrote "you were in the knd. you were numbuh [#]" it would read like gibberish. in operation end, the way post-decom numbuhs 2 to 5 reacted to nigel claiming they were kids next door was disastrous. even if you wrote a long, elaborate explanation of what the knd is/does and claimed they wiped your memories... would you believe it? would you leave some kind of evidence to convince yourself?

if yes, what would you do with that information? the memories aren't coming back. you can't interact with your old sector/knd friends because it's not allowed. if there's no other evidence, you'd have to rely on what little your parents and other friends knew to confirm you were really an operative. you don't even remember how to fight (sure, maybe some reflex stuff or only if provoked a certain way, ie. numbuh 4 punching chad right in the face) so it'd be setting yourself up for failure/missing a life you can't get back to. snooping around for secrets or trying to play rogue tnd (without even knowing about it) will only put you and other operatives at risk.

on the other hand, it could backfire from the very start: you believe it, but you don't care. you're a teenager now. why should you care? those little kids fighting supervillains aren't your problem. the squad may consider that outcome more often than not because that's how it's supposed to be. being indifferent or cynical about kids and just living your life as if nothing happened. you also might join the evil teens despite any indifference. that, and you betrayed the knd by purposely writing down all that info for your post-decom self to begin with. what if someone else finds it? if you're quiet about it, no one has to find out. good or bad.

regardless, i feel there would be some sort of effort to get rid of knd stuff at home before getting decommissioned. maybe it's another honesty/loyalty thing and you would hand over all your 2x4 tech and such to your sector leader the night before (if you're not the leader, that is)... traitors would hide things and lie that they've given everything they've got. majority of stuff should be in the treehouse anyway. or maybe the squad checks the house when they bring the operative back (or while someone else brings them back, like 5 did for maurice,) which is really jarring if they're aware of it. these weird kids are going through their stuff LOL. most parents would be oblivious. the squad could miss anything hidden super well like a paper. they're not there to waste time looking through every nook and cranny of your home unless it's urgent, if they go through it at all. certain things can stay. anything with your numbuh on it that's not gear will just look like a random favorite number after decom. really depends on what you think: would they even bother to check houses for things like that? is it the standard or is it just something they do at random/when an operative is suspicious or important?

i have the belief that it's surprisingly easy to become a fugitive and stay one for a short while— as long as you know what you're doing. most kids wouldn't have the idea to pull wires out of a g.o.g.e.t.t.e.r. (in space no less??) or chad's idea to attach his mp3 player to the speaker in one to cause a crash, even if those were both arguably reckless examples (nigel was 100% correct that he and chad could've died.) i would imagine that mayyybe some things get overlooked by 86 and the squad and, in retrospect, really shouldn't have been. things that might get them an earful from their supreme leader later.

#anon #asks #knd #codename kids next door #kids next door #transmission.txt #decom talk #long post #queue #i'm aware any incompetence or general oversight we see from the squad is mostly due to like #when it's relevant to sector v and their experiences cuz that's what the show focuses on. meanwhile #operation forget gave us a number of over 175 traitors that got captured by the now former squad lieutenant within the span of 3 years #it's unknown how many fugitives were still on the run after 3 years but the number has to be incredibly small i would think. on average #most runners do not have that much luck and most operatives are so loyal that the possibility of fugitives is pretty low

the thing about golden kamuy is that if you took basically any of the characters and slotted them into another series they would be the most batshit insane character in that series. but you line them all up together and they’re just one of the boys.

#there are multiple characters who have committed cannibalism at some point and they have almost nothing to do with each other #two characters with traumatic brain injuries #more extremely weird psychosexual hangups than you can count #in any given scene there is probably a non-zero number of characters wearing a shirt made out of tattooed human skin #one of the main characters is functionally immortal and it’s like. barely a thing. #i mean it IS a thing it’s got a lot of thematic significance but it’s also only a very small component of what that story is about #every chapter you meet a brand new freak of nature. a new kind of guy (or occasionally gal) previously unknown to science #you flip over a rock and a whole bunch of golden kamuy characters come scurrying out from under it.

Some context expansions. I write explicit works and am angling for another Dom Eddie so that's a factor. And I don't do unhappy endings. I do morally ambiguous endings, but always happy for the boys.

Option 1. Rockstar Eddie falling for a completely oblivious Steve and trying to hide his fame to have a normal relationship because Steve has a celebrity vendetta. (Alternate Universe)

Option 2. Established Relationship Steddie dealing with the after effects of an overly affectionate, aggressive, and protective Kas Eddie. (In Universe)

Option 3. Married "ready to leave my wife for you" Steve cheating with "i can not handle that kind of pressure" Eddie, (In Universe)

Option 4. Adult siblings Robin and Eddie with single dad Eddie begging for a babysitter rec, which Robin gives in the form of her bestfriend that she's never let Eddie meet, on the one condition that you do NOT fuck her best friend. He does not follow this condition. (Alternate Universe)

Option 5. Pirate Eddie escorting cursed Prince Steve overseas for a possible cure to an unknown affliction, with explicit instructions to kill him if it doesn't work. And to ignore any singing you may here at night with him on board. And a whole other list of strange details. (Alternate Universe)

#i want to write dom eddie again but i am so stuck on my ammnesia fic #she's laughing at me stuck #the google doc is laughing at me #and i shouldn't start another wip because i have freaking five of them if you include the smurf account #but my creative process is whatever makes my brain move #and if none of what im doing is moving it then maybe its time for number 6 #unknown #bad ideas that i may not even ever do #steddie #steddie fic writing #i have too many ideas #writing these out helped me with my own bias though not gonna lie #cheaters and pirates are apparently a thing for me #steddie fic #steddie poll #poll

On the one hand my body is now extremely specific about the Exact Food it wants to urgently eat but on the other hand it means I go to the grocery store like….every day……do they notice me going every day….

#today it wants Cheerios…and smoked turkey….nothing else will do #while im eating breakfast number 1 its like okay what are we gonna do about breakfast number 2 and lunch? #breakfast 2 has been reasonably supplied lately by this coffee shop near work that for reasons unknown…never charges me for food #I give big tips…

I'm going to preface this story by saying: I don't necessarily believe in karma, but

I may have been walking through today with a vague sense of disbelief tainted with unkind smugness after my tiktok fyp was flooded with poor fans who tried to get presale ticket to one mr n. kahan's new tour only to find that demand was through the roof and GA pit tickets were seriously going for $300, in presale, and even the "worst" tickets in the lawn were going for $70

and while I undoubtedly think it's deeply unethical for both platforms (thanks ticketmaster) and artists to allow such dramatic ticket cost inflation, I also generally don't relate...

I (VERY LUCKILY) gravitate towards smaller acts, and the most I've paid for a ticket all year has been, like... $90 for a ticket to beyonce, which got cancelled and I was refunded lol. if I look back at all my receipts from shows this year, most have been around $50/ticket after fees, and several have been closer to $20. my favorite show I've seen all year was a $15 ticket.

it's mostly luck—I tend to like smaller acts, and I've been seeing mainly rock acts this year, and those tickets simply don't run as high as pop acts. and part of me is honestly very grateful that I haven't been swept into any of the really recent huge acts.

I think of all the people scrabbling for boygenius or taylor swift tickets and how much money they've had to shell out... how a lot of them don't even GET to see the acts they want to see because they've been priced out or tickets sold out. I can't remember the last time a show I wanted to go to sold out lol. maybe bastille in london?

and again, it's just a matter of luck that I'm not really into any of these megastars and therefore don't have to compete in the gladiator arena to try to see shows I want to see, but sometimes luck manifests as a feeling of self-satisfaction, you know? who among us hasn't experienced a little self-superiority from time to time.

look, if YOUR tiktok was flooded with people saying concerts have been awful since 2021 (including rock and metal shows), but every concert YOU'VE been to since 2021 was amazing and the crowds were really good and you always got tickets and it never broke the bank, you'd feel pretty validated in your choice of musicians and the crowds they attract too, alright?? sue me! I felt frugal AND undeservedly clever!

anyways back to karma. guess who got invited and subsequently agreed to shell out $70 to sit in a lawn and listen to mr. n. kahan sing. I'll give you a hint, her tumblr username starts with an r and ends with an s

#I KNOW LIKE. A SINGLE ONE OF HIS SONGS. #the thing about me is I'm earnestly really good at not judging other ppls music taste because: #I have a whole 1000-song playlist dedicated to music I love but don't play for other ppl bc I regard it as my Fun Time No Taste Music #and it's not that it's bad it's just not as curated as I prefer my music showed to other people lol #and that means I don't judge people for getting really into a band that doesn't do it for me personally #but. I will admit that I have that deeply annoying personality trait wherein if a billion people get into something... #for unknown reasons my own desire to learn about and get into that thing plummets. hashtag hipster. hashtag annoying #so that's kinda why I've never explored a lot of mega-popular musicians #(see: hozier; mitski; boygenius; taylor swift; one direction; noah kahan; etc etc) #+ obviously I don't make quality judgements off of that. I've heard some hozier songs. he's very good. I like handfuls of TS and 1D's music #but I don't have the drive to Also Get Into It #which means I never have to fucking melee for tickets in the queue ahaha and I am very grateful for that #but idk. I think there's something to be said for purposefully seeking out midsize or small acts. I don't really like stadium shows! #my fave concert this year had less than 100 attendees and the lead singer walked right off the stage into the crowd #everyone was chill and gave him space (this was the friday pilots club show) #and I think I can compare it to big vs. small fandom #small fandoms tend to be well-behaved bc everyone knows everyone and beef poisons the whole space lol #and also it's a matter of numbers! the more people who are in a space... the higher likelihood someone's an asshole #and I've been in tiny fandoms that blew up (hellooooo omgcp) and saw that happen firsthand #and I sort of suspect that rule holds true for concert spaces/music fanbases! more people = more variables = higher likelihood of foolery #hell I think of when I was really into 2010s alt rock DURING the 2010s and had to deal with assholes at alt j concerts hahahah #and it was just because I *was* into the music that WAS of-the-time in 2015!!!! #and now as an agèd 20something who likes metal shows I'm just chilling and watching pits form at lowkey 1400-capacity venues #because that's the scene! and I'm not in the thick of it with the current Music Of The Hour #anyways all this is to say that I don't think noah kahan is bad or untalented or unworthy of seeing!!!! #clearly he is if I'm going to fork over $70plusfees to see him with my friend #it's just that I'm grateful my tastes have veered into the cheaper side of the music industry. #I think I'd keel over if my favorite artist was TS and I had to deal with. all that. to go see her. #stronger than the marines etc etc

Can you reblog your posts from the other sideblogs more often. I didn't realize until too late that they were a thing :( I don't want to miss it for future other polls going forward!

I can try to! I'm not too terribly good at promoting things ahaha, so I just reblogged some of the polls weekly at the beginning and then nothing after a while since I did hold it on a different blog for a reason! (Though I left it in the pinned post!) I'm a little worried about spamming people

Maybe what I can do is provide status updates for all of the related tournaments at the end of the Monday post going forward? Since I do week-long polls, none of these tournaments move particularly fast, so that might work?

FWIW, the only other spin-off tournament I have so far is the Unown one! (@ultimateunowntournament) (And I am thinking about running polls to find the 2nd place winner as well if people are interested!) And for the future I only have plans for two more--the underdog tournament, which I plan to actually be more like a long series of smaller tournaments with Pokemon winning in multiple categories, and another one I haven't talked about yet!

#inquiries #for the other tournament it's mostly a matter of trying to figure out how to make things work on my schedule #my job recently has been quite turbulent with a large number of unknowns #including how much work i have to do and where i have to be to do it which limits my free time+energy+online availability #once things settle (hopefully in the next few weeks) then i'll be able to assess things a little better! #i did largely want the unown tournament to be close to completion

i am once again feeling unwell over clone troopers

#my roman empire #their creation was the product of a manufactured war. raised to be soldiers from the moment they decanted #taught to be weapons and to be nothing but means to an end and then shipped into the unknown #learning about the word 'brother'. slowly finding their individuality and a name for themselves. finally getting to a battleground #and soon learning the pain and grief and price of victory. seeing those same brothers fall and die and scream in agony #and then shoving it down because 'thats what good soldiers do'. being treated as real people for the first time by the Jedi #the ones on the pedestal and actual worth. the Jedi who take blasterfire to protect their men when they were taught it should be viceversa #those Jedi and their younglings (who also found themselves soldiers in this war despite not being bred for it)that fought and bled with the #and then were exterminated at the clones own hands #and for what? an empire that treated them like numbers and got rid of them the second they were no longer useful. and what is left?? #when all they know is war how do you dream a future?? when you were meant to die or fight. how do you live after?? #leona blogs #clone troopers #star wars the clone wars #star wars
