The Zork Library (Website)

I Highly recommend everyone who is not only interested in Zork, but fandom history as a whole, to go check out the Zork library.

The Zork fandom was at once massive and impossibly dedicated, and who have built a vast library of knowledge of the franchises lore. The Zork Library is now an archive of not only the zork universe, but of this now lost fandom.

The Zork library was last updated in 2020, moving the majority of the fandom to the subreddit r/Zork, which is primarily populated by transients only asking one question and leaving when it's answered.

The point of this account is kind of try to revitalize this fandom a little bit. I'd love to be involved in a zork fandom but literally nothingg is happening, which is so frustrating.

Sometimes I will be reminded of an early meme and it's fun to try to figure out where you heard of it, before social media was really a thing. I Herd You Liek Mudkipz was something I got introduced to via neopets in 2005 or 2006...how quaint

Sometimes when I think of the word "Influence" I get a mental image of the "creepy girlfriend" meme girl from the late 2000s.

The thing that gets me about history and humanity is that you never know what is immortalized, and the things that will be immortalized are things you would never think.

I saw a person sharing a new tattoo, and it was one of Onfim's drawings. A boy who lived so long ago he is barely a blip now, but his drawings meant so much to people that somebody is now permanently marked in their skin with one of those drawings. Do you ever look at the things you make and just sit there and wonder if this is the thing that future people look at? Do you ever look at your art, your writing, your schoolwork, or anything that is yours and just wonder who will find it, who will fall in love with a piece of your humanity and become overwhelmed with emotion over? It's not unlikely. It's not totally unlikely that somebody will find a piece of you in the distant future and devoid of any other context of who you were will still love you because you were here. You were here, and you are still here, even hundreds or thousands of years later. Treat yourself with the same love that so many have for dear Onfim.

#positivity #gentle reminders #if anybody has ancient children's drawings beside onfim let me know they melt my heart #i have always wanted a tattoo of that kind of thing too and i want ideas #see if archeologists dig me up or whomever else they won't find significant tattoos or other things. they will see i have loss.jpeg on me #and i think that's just as important. these people must know that people are silly and weird and don't make sense and that's IMPORTANT #i'm just. so obsessed with this because it's instantly humanizing #what little child hasn't drawn humans with twelve fingers per hand #or those kids drawings where it's only a torso/head conglomerate with stick legs and hands #i just really lived seeing how their tattoo turned out because i wasn't sure if it would look good in ink and skin #i feel the same way about archiving the internet. i was looking for the written crochet pattern for something #and the person who wrote and created it passed away and their blog has been scrubbed #their blog only exists on the archives. their pattern is only accessible on youtube because somebody made a video tutorial with the pattern #it's an eerie feeling. they've been gone for two years but their blog has been tethered by the wayback machine

every day i get so, so fucking sad that the mspa forums were lost and i can’t go and look back at the screaming reactions and fanart for when the trolls appearances’ first dropped or for when the kids were revealed to be related

#internet rot genuinely kills me it is more of a shame than i can even fucking express #i want to go dust off the ancient texts… i want to see the earliest forms of vriskcourse from 2012 preteens..#seriously want to cry i can’t believe it’s gone FOREVER.#<- ignore me im having a moment #homestuck #op

Well, then.

Nothing quite like the prospect of replaying MGS3 (thanks to my recent acquisition of the Master Collection) to pique the ol' nostalgia for something I worked on literally half a lifetime ago.

...Happy Valentine's Day?

Fun fact! If Sirin survived the Second Eruption, then by the start of the game she would've been old enough to be Kiana's teacher at St. Freya :)

so I was thinking about what it might've been like if only Sirin survived the Second Eruption & was adopted by Cecilia and Siegfried, right?

and usually that scenario is depicted in fanart/fanfic as being Second Eruption Sirin alongside Kiana and/or Bianka and/or HoV, and the rest of the cast as we see them later in the story.

Plus Captianverse Sirin is shown alongside Definitely-Not-Bronya and Definitely-Not-Seele and about the same age as them. So I imagine this is the mental image most people have of Sirin when they think "Sirin with the Kaslana family".

Here's the thing, though! Second Eruption takes place in the year 2000, right?

Sirin was still a kid, my guess is ~12 years old but could be a bit younger or older than that.

But Mei and Kiana were really small children and Bronya hadn't even been born yet!

So if Sirin DID survive the Second Eruption in the real world... she'd be roughly 10 years older than Kiana, give or take a couple years. By 2015, Sirin would be in her early-to-mid-20s!

What's more: Himeko was a high school graduate in 2005, that means she'd only be like 5-6 years older than Sirin (assuming she's 17 or 18 at graduation). Plus according to a Honkai wiki, Rita was 11 years old in 2007. Meaning... Sirin would be only a few years younger than Himeko and she'd even be a few years older than Rita.

By the Kiana would've been old enough to go to St. Freya...

Sirin could've gone to St. Freya, GRADUATED, gotten experience as a Valkyrie, and then returned to be a teacher at St. Freya!

Rita would've been old enough to have been a recent graduate (assuming she ever would've gone to St. Freya in such a world), and Himeko would've already been a teacher for a few years at that point.

So if Sirin survived the Second Eruption, Himeko & Sirin could both have been teachers at St. Freya, alongside Theresa and Principal Cecilia- making Sirin both the adoptive sister of Kiana AND a teacher to her, Mei, Bronya, and Fu Hua. and why not Seele too, just for funsies?

just some food for thought~ ^.^

#also it's kinda hilarious to think about Fu Hua in this case #Fu Hua fighting Sirin in the Second Eruption...#...but then 15 years later she shows up at St. Freya and walks into her first class only to see grown-up Sirin as the teacher #“oh hi sensei! remember when i almost killed you. then you almost killed me. then you killed my student. good times!”#talk about an awkward situation #honkai impact 3rd #hi3rd #honkai 3rd #sirin honkai #sirin #kiana kaslana #raiden mei #bronya zaychik #murata himeko #rita rossweisse #bonus: Sirin would've been a teen throughout the 2000s #meaning sirin could've been using myspace and early tumblr & early youtube and other ancient relics of the internet :)
