hi so i forgot to message the person who was next (sorry HelltakerHomosexual) so i'm just gonna talk about a thing i like

Shadow the Hedgehog is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Characterized by his sharp wit and strong sense of purpose, Shadow is a recurrent arch-rival of Sonic the Hedgehog, whom he resembles and shares many abilities. He is a major supporter of trans people, as evidenced by his catchphrase, "Trans people are cool!"

^ this is all from the wiki btw

I like Shadow a lot. His first appearance in the series is in a game where him and Sonic are both fighting the government and destroying these multi-million dollar gunships. Sonic is doing it because he loves communism but Shadow is doing it because he has a blood feud against G.U.N., who are like the global government death squads because they killed this girl, Maria, who he was best friends with.

Maria basically had an incurable illness that Eggman's grandpa was trying to cure by creating an immortal lifeform, which is actually how Shadow was born. Also, Shadow has a copy of Maria's soul I guess? Seriously, look it up. I'm reading all this shit for the first time right now and that sounds kinda trans to me.

Anyway, she gets shot by the troops and despite Maria telling Shadow to be normal and happy, Eggman's grandpa is pissed off about it so he starts psyopping Shadow into wanting to kill everyone on Earth. Eggman's grandpa successfully does the psyop and locks Shadow away until Eggman finds and releases him.

With his newfound power, Shadow starts being evil and helping Eggman find the Chaos Emeralds because he sees him piss on the moon or something. This goes on for a while until he gets back on the space station and remembers what Maria said, deciding to finally be normal and happy.

He switches up, goes Hyper Shadow and helps Sonic defeat the Biolizard which is basically what it sounds like: a giant lizard who wears the space station like a little jacket and shoots lasers from his mouth. Also, that thing was the prototype Ultimate Lifeform before they decided on the optimal form of existence: a little bipedal anthro hedgehog.

So they beat this lizard up, I guess it dies and then the space station is hurtling toward the Earth. Shadow takes a Chaos Emerald and, with the help of Sonic, does one last Chaos Control on the space station, returning it to a stable altitude. Sonic finds himself back on the space station as he flies into the atmosphere. After this, a big semi-translucent Shadow appears on top of the Earth and everyone can see it.

Why would I lie about that? Here it is.

Anyway, a bunch of shit happens after that but I don't care about it. If someone else wants to talk about Shadow the Hedgehog (2005) feel free. What I really wrote this out to justify talking about is the moon in Sonic games. Like I said before, the moon gets pissed on and destroyed with the help of Shadow,

and then in the next game it's just fine but evil now(???)

and after THAT it's not evil anymore but it's fully intact:

What the fuck? Why? How? I watched it get blown up. Who put the moon back together? Anyway, we're getting in the weeds here. Welcome to the mega.

Talking too much about smut I only kinda liked: Human Domestication Guide

Alright, been meaning to type this for a while. Saw Ash talk about (check pronoun) readings and reminded me I read this due to (check pronouns)'s recommendation and then forgot to talk about it. Anyways

I like the idea of being taken care of the dxtremley caring plant creatures, but I just get caught up on the cultural imperialism of the forced pet dynamic. I think part of it is me being into like dog or cat girl thing more as an identity than as a kink. I dislike the cultural imperialism a lot. I get its just smut, and smut isn't necisarily realistic, but this is MY post so I get to decide what smut is good or bad enjoyment rise.

But yeah, I enjoy the vibes of being forced to be nice to myself and either being forced to take care of myself, or have a big plant lady take care of me, but the hypnosis and ownership aspects just give me bad vibes personally. Like I remember in the original glitchyrobo writing of the main character writing a document recognizing and signing a thing saying that (she?) has no rights in the Affini Compact. Like that and the ownership shit just made me stop enjoying it. Again, I get its just smut, but I am unable to just turn my brain off and ignore it.

I think I need to find smut, or really just writing in general, that has cozy vibes and maybe a Dom forcing me to take care of myself and be nice to myself. That would be cool. :flush:

That is to say.... If you have any recommendations.... I would love to hear them :flush:

Why are gasmasks a submissive kink? I would think not dying in a chlorine attack is a pretty dominant move.

So I moved to a new job and new place and it’s great so far. I’m very thankful it happened. However, I’m still bothered by this weird insecurity that things might not work out somehow, or that coworkers or others here won’t like me, and whatever else I have to panic about. I wish I could just be confident for once and not always expecting bad things to happen, but that will probably get better with time I suppose. I think I at least feel much safer where I’m at now, since I hated my previous job, previous location, and it would have been much harder for me to transition had this not happened.

Pinging @khizuo@hexbear.net as a subject matter expert, but I have questions for the community in general.

So, for decorating my black leather jacket , I am thinking of stencil-painting the 72 demonic sigils of the Ars Goetia up the sleeves (36 wrapped around each sleeve), and then painting either the magic circle of the Ars Goetia, the Secret Seal of Solomon, or stenciling the Preliminary Invocation text. This would all be in red or gold paint.

My questions:

  • First, general vibe / aesthetic check: cringe or potentially based?
  • I'm neither a practitioner or really a believer in Goetia or other magick practices, so I am a bit concerned about this sort of display being appropriative. -

Actually talking about Psycho Nymph Exile, I discuss weird slightly morbid things, also nsfw!I realise that when I posted, forgot to explain what Psycho Nymph actually is. Apologies, I am rusty at posting. It doesn't have a blurb per se which is very unhelpful, I had no idea what it was going in.

Because I'm silly, the best I can describe it as, is "Neon Genesis Evangelion, but with the viscera and queer dials cranked to 11" pretty much. So it's huuuuge biomechs (here "GAIGA") piloted by traumatised youths, deploying to battle whatever ANTI-GAIGA are. Presumably the establishment is running some kind of terrible scheme behind the scenes, but the pilots end up with DSTP (Despair Syndrome with Temporal Purge, subtle I know) pretty much reliably as a result of piloting, and after a lil worldbuilding (as a treat) the story picks up following Vellus, post-discharge from the academy of tight plugsuits after she accidentally maims her ex-girlfriend when her gaiga goes ballistic due to some new modification. She hangs out with her new sister-girlfriend, Isidol.

I always thought what NGE needed was for the mechs to be giant feral women with chastity cages, yeah. This is the correct way to build on the genre comfy-cool

Psycho Nymph is all sludge and goo and black bile and mild psychidelia, DSTP can manifest as many symptoms, from excess foreign fluid (DSTP-Black emerges as a slimy fluid from the orifices) to weird skin moisture things (DSTP-Clear (type B) condenses, vapors, or frosts on the body. Reports of eye-based DSTP-Clear leakage are unsubstantiated.) to Pheromone Poisoning (You will know.) to multiple pupils. (Vellus has three irises in each eye. You can’t see them all when her eyes are narrowed, like if she’s tense or tired or horney. Right now Isidol reflects in all six of Vellus’ pupils.) sic btw, no idea why the word is spelt "horney" persistently.

There's almost no hard technology either, though; the helmets and plugsuits seem to be it, and for everything else from joysticks ("She fingers the joystick, sculpted from a neural stem. It tenses under her grip like a clit.") to public internet-y wall jacks (more like a squishy orifice) it's not exactly squeamish but it is very fleshy and fluidy. Very cool.

I'm only like 50 pages in, of uh 120? but I'm excited to read more today and subsequently poke around online about it. I'm certain everyone else will have much more intelligent views on it, me I'm just taking in all the new smells and sensations. I noticed that putting several chapters of sickly gore-y weird body horror

She’s almost got a nice image together of a taller woman kissing her on the forehead, drowning her in musky torrents of hair, arms wrapping around her once, then twice, then endlessly, a bandaging repetition. The image shatters as a beam of DSTP-Orange blasts through the roof of her apartment, illuminating it like a muddy, humid cave full of fire. Dormant memories hatch all over her body.

right before the one beautiful moment of chill peaceful contented T4T cuddling, the latter feels even more like a respite from everything else:

Isidol wraps herself over me tight as a blanket, a toasty momcave. Even as I melt into the mattress, I know she isn’t asleep, or even resting. I imagine her face as a machine gun nest on the hill of my shoulder. What is she watching for? She must be guarding me against psychic evil, because my head is golden and warm and empty. Under her aura I fall asleep without fear.

It kinda fucks, I'm a big fan. It tickles my nerve endings and lights shit up in my brain just right. It's about trashgirls living on the edge of society being mobbed for the crime of attempted survival. It is about girls in trouble. it is about blood. cat-vibing Surprisingly thpugh I haven't put on any Rooks while reading, maybe I should try Void Fantasy tbh.

I was reminded of my struggles recently, so I looked at some stuff about avpd and

spoilerkitty-cri No wonder I can't make or build friendships. Diagnosed for years, still haven't been able to get better. Why can't I be normal. Literally, genuinely, life ruining. Having autism on top of that does not help.

I struggle with relationships so much. I want them so badly, but its just really hard for me.

I'm angry and sad. Mostly sad. None of this is new to me, obviously, idk. Just hurts more then normal right now.

I will never forgive Sonic Team for turning Shadow into a G.U.N. agent in Sonic 06.

And to think Sonic fans are trying to rehabilitate that game. Sonic fans are waaaay to forgiving of this series.

Anyway, call me a boomer, but Sonic Adventure 2 was the last decent 3D Sonic game. Even then the Adventure games had a lot of problems, but at least they still felt like Sonic games.
