You’re listening to… Good Evening, Everyone! The rain is still going, and a little harder now, but it's definitely not the worst we've had in the last few weeks. There's quite a bit of a chill out there, so grab a scarf maybe on your way out the door! I know I've got myself ready to bundle up before I head out of the studio. But one more thing before I head on out is to play you all somethin' great to end the shift on. And this one is a real goody. Coming up next is "Is You Is Or Is You Ain't (My Baby)" by Louis Jordan. Thanks for listening, folks! …Midnight City Jazz!

[BEGIN MESSAGE] ann0ying. we||... i am g|ad y0u are here at |eazt. zma|| merciez. [END MESSAGE]

aspect slander pt. 9 - Heart what a fucking shitsh0w this one is. really sh0uld just give it the treatment i didn't give light. might still link that later. it's going t0 require more setup that i usually try and skip. heart is n0t the soul. yeah i fucking said it. gh0sts were fucking comm0n on alternia. the screaming damned harassed multiple people i knew pers0nally including myself. hell, fucking equius helped build a r0bot specifically f0r encasing a soul and y0u know wh0 wasn't involved? nepeta, his m0irail and only pers0n who talked tw0 him by choice. she was fully aware they existed and could n0t do shit ab0ut any disembodied s0uls despite being one 0f the few of us as interested as vriska in engaging with fantasy wriggler mechanics. is there s0me relation t0 it? perhaps. but i do n0t believe it is the primary concern 0f the aspect whatsoever. skaia d0esn't give a fuck about y0ur soul. when y0u die in there you get t0ssed out like garbage. if ff hadn't busted her aft c0mmuning with outer g0ds half of the pe0ple reading this wouldn't even be here. which leads me tw0 believe life might have more t0 do with that if anything. that's a tangent f0r later though, s0 what the fuck is heart? it appears two be like a m0re superficial associati0n with identity and the self, ego even if y0u've got a taste f0r psychobabble. s0mething far less permanent than an immortal spirit. kind of like a different take 0r combinati0n of bl0od and mind. there's 12 0f the things, maybe more, s0me overlap is t0 be expected. maybe a sprinkle of h0pe in there two, th0ugh a preoccupati0n with the self has only a tenu0us relation t0 the sort 0f delusional psych0sis hope takes. this is where l0ve comes in. 0ne of the m0st miserable lessons all us l0sers eventually face if we try and pull ourselves fr0m the mud is that you d0 in fact have two have s0me amount 0f self respect in order t0 actually be in love. the real kind, n0t a one-sided 0bsession 0r will two p0ssess an object. it's sickeningly l0gical in the end. if you l0ve something y0u want to pr0tect it. some0ne fixated on destr0ying themself is constantly attacking themself, and y0u cannot d0 a damn thing about it. the 'i can fix them' r0utine, which has its own giant fucking issues, still ultimately relies 0n being able two believe in actually d0ing so. if y0u wanted some0ne just to fix them y0u're leaving once that's n0t possible. heart is l0ve because of its fixati0n on a m0re solid 'self', the thing required f0r love t0 exist. like blo0d, but inv0lved in the cultivation 0f personh0od rather than the wielding 0f it. i'd wager the 2 are intended two w0rk together m0st of the time. it is als0 like mind, except instead of f0cusing on changing the 0utside circumstances that result in decisions being made, y0u're focusing 0n the ro0t, who the pers0n is making the decision, their self. what d0 you get when y0u're focused 0n the interplay between selves and how th0se can change how they act and what they d0? you get a silly cattr0ll making complex, dynamic charts 0n a cave wall. heart, when focusing 0n all the factors at 0nce, is love. unf0rtunately, desperation tw0 forge a m0re perfect self is also a sh0rt road t0 narcissism. a cancerous gr0wth off the side 0f the idea of l0ve. it's understandable. you have fantastical p0wers urging you tw0 be all you can be, elevate yourself, ascend. i think it w0rks better against those wh0 are 'smart', who see that this is a 'game' and s0 attempt to manipulate it with0ut seeing they're the one being played. we crave c0ntrol, we break our backs f0r it. supreme contr0l over the self? particularly seductive if y0u're one wh0's always felt you had t0 do everything y0urself. no m0re getting betrayed by those pesky feelings 0f doubt, 0r regret, or c0mpassion, 0r mercy. just an ultimately perfect you. and y0u alone. and skaia will let y0u push the envelope if it gets the j0b done, warp and def0rm the boundaries 0f the aspect as you chase the drag0n of being able tw0 do everything and be everything. but like all narcissists it's built 0n a foundati0n that isn't real. an idealized self that was never earned. writing a fictional character with0ut ever conveying a real less0n to them 0r yourself. like a rupert's dr0plet the armor is all but impenetrable right until something taps the right place. and then it expl0des. leaving nothing left 0f the wayward heart player and whoever their living eg0 tulpa trampled along the way. i c0uld go 0n but im probably feeding s0meone's unhealthy delusi0n by spending so much text 0n this one already. n0w for fuck's sake, value y0ur soul higher than just a stat in a game grub.

(( ahoy hoy! it's your friendly neighborhood rabbit with an inquiry for the general public about #murderontherails / #escapetherails ! so some things on my end are happening - good things this time! but it does offset my initial scheduling so that does get dicey, but i DO have a proposal! because the escape rooms are a more Open Event, i am willing to host this SOONER in the week (i.e. start the show tomorrow (Tues-Wed-Thurs(?) run), or have things start Thursday and roll into Friday. alts are also to push it back next weekend, but i might Die if i hold back any longer! still, i am doing a rain check to the general You to see what to do! :] any replies to this would be very appreciated!!

I think some of you would benefit tremendously from becoming acquainted with the concept of kayfabe. Whenever someone is kidnapped, trapped in a SGRUB session, stranded somewhere hostile, dying spectacularly, et cetera, there is inevitably someone in the replies going, "Oh, but you had time to Chit about it?" As though the natural conclusion is that the character, presently dangling upside-down over a vat of acid, has taken out their phone, carefully unlocked it, opened Chittr, composed three paragraphs and selected an appropriate reaction image. This is not necessarily what is occurring. Chittr is the medium through which the narrative has elected to present itself. The post exists because we, the audience, require some means of observing the event. Sometimes the posting itself is diegetic. Sometimes it is only partially diegetic. Sometimes you are effectively reading a stage direction wearing the skin of a social media post. You are foolish to assume this website that stretches across an infinite amount of timelines, universes, and means of interaction is nothing short of a mythical artifact, perhaps even a Juju. Professional wrestling does not cease being a wrestling match because the camera happens to be perfectly positioned to capture a conversation backstage. Nobody turns toward the cameraman and asks why he is being permitted to stand three feet away while two men conspire to commit aggravated assault. You accept the camera because the camera is how the story reaches you. The same courtesy should probably be extended to someone live-Chitting their kidnapping. They are not necessarily exposing their location to their captor, compromising the integrity of their SGRUB session, or somehow finding excellent cellular reception inside the narrative equivalent of Hell. You are simply being permitted to see what is happening because this is the proscenium we have chosen. Please respect the kayfabe. It is doing a remarkable amount of structural labor for you.

A chittrUser's dirty little pamphlet guide to fuck-ass trinkets with no value. Or. "The Fuck's A Badge Anyway?" Badges. Chittr's answer to: "What if my avatar, banner, and username just ain't enough bling. How will people know that I have atypical gendering, a love for snails, the joking ire of at least one moderator?" Fret not, McGee. In her infinite codematronly wisdom, Mocáli Flaske has devised a solution to all these representative woes. You only have to grovel for it. Am I joking? We'll see. → "Where does this hideous pixel slop live?" The humble badge is displayed beside your username for every chump to see. On some devices, hovering over the little shits will display highly humorous titles and subtitles dictating the intended purpose or goal of said little shit. [Yes, it doesn't always work on mobile. We're looking into that, with hammers. Maybe this post will be retroactively edited to laugh about this coding folly. Maybe it won't.] When receiving a badge, a moderator makes sweet backroom love to the secret assignment button, shipping your "I'm so cool." indicator directly to your site SETTINGS page by sicknasty stork. Just above your permanent profile deletion options, or the DANGER ZONE, lives the user-side badge repository. Application is simple. Click that thing. Hit save. Clicking multiple badges lets you arrange them in order of selection. Highlighting nonbinary, neopronouns, #TeamPlay means all badges display in that configuration. Such technology. Such innovation. → "Is there a list of these things?" Nope. Certain users have crowd-sourced a rough guesstimation of the badge situation, now months out of date. We haven't made a list for a couple reasons. One: I can't be fucked to keep it updated. Two: the Chittr Team considers badges to be equal parts intra-community chitchat material and reward for sake of reward. See a badge you just need to boast? Ask the freak bearing this heavy crown where they got that thing. Look at you, farming Kult and Kull score organic style. Useless engagement numbers are warm for your form. This social capital is maddening. It could go to your head. → "Okay, man. What if I already know what I need? Who do I threaten?" Great attitude there, McGee. You can direct message a schmuck bearing the Blue Shield badge, displayed beside my username for convenience. That's the "official moderator" badge, assigned to pure of heart maidens like myself. Or, you can just ping my hand-coded NOT-brainclone badgebot @imJunior. It gets the job done. Usually. ...What? Oh. I get it. Groveling for a badge is out of character for you. Likely story, but we'll play it cool. I know your game, so we've got a solution to your desperation. Go to the Chittr Official Discord and open a ticket. You'll get what you're looking for. The satisfaction you crave. Unless the badge is user-unique, assigned to just one guy. Then you can get fucked right down the street and around the corner. → "What the hell? People can have unique badges? Where's mine? Show me the face of God." Simple enough. Unique badges are awarded by request, usually following a user reaching a milestone. This can be an event, some dashboard drama users got mad twisted up in, a party hosted at your pad, the act of reaching an arbitrary Kult or Kull score, or just like... some bullshit. One guy got badged for writing a few pick-up manuals. It's that easy. The "reach out" element is not negotiable. Bitch about your sordid achievements to Junior or another moderator. Open a ticket. Engagement feeds the gaping hole in my chest where self-love would usually make home. Don't you care. Don't you want me. Anyway. Sometimes badge ideas are rejected. It's not personal; the team will explain why each time. You can request community badges too, for your little clubs or just a general badge for any sadsack to use. Like snails? Leaves? A specific hemocaste? A free-for-all badge can help you foster imaginary bonds with losers you'll never chitt. At the end of the day, we're all shitheads looking for connection. Make it easier by requesting a badge for the gang. → "Tell me more about these wondrous toys, oh Prince." Beg, again. Haha. Just kidding. Every badge image scrunches down to 32 by 32 pixels. Talk about laundry shrinkage. What the fuck is this? Profile jewelry for ants? The maximum information contained is 100 KB, because storing this shit ain't cheap. Yes, you can submit your own badge images including GIFs, but I'll force Junior to slow that shit down if it's a flashy epileptic sleeper activation bomb. So. Be cool. Generally speaking, Chittr's not in the market to make badges about hating a motherfucker or explicitly advertising dong. Not sure where the sandy line was drawn? Just ask. Sometimes Junior will show up in your comments to randomly badge you. It does that. Usually the badge given is in reference to some bullshit you pulled, like tagging things properly or being a specific type of nuisance. Junior doesn't have feelings. It's not personal. You can own infinite badges, but you can only equip seven. Switch them out, mix them up, dragonmax 'til the knights get roasted. I'm not your God and the paradoxical reach of universal discretion is just barely in your grasp. Go forth and freak it. → "So. Can I get a badge?" You know what? Your tenacity is almost tolerable. Sure. I made one just for you. Comment "prince bitch idiot" to receive it. Receiving a quadrant reaction means you're part of the in-crowd.

This Feels Like Environmental Storytelling ⠀
