(If anyone is wondering where Armstrong is they are watching Rust with concern, just off-screen.)

Image ID under cut:

[Image ID 1: A drawing of zero_one the tombsona from The Living Tombstone. They are sitting hunched over in a metal chair with wires connecting into them. Some of the wires are glowing orange. zero_one's own circuits and hair is dark. Behind them, electronics are glowing in the walls.]

[Image ID 2: Rust, a tombsona from The Living Tombstone, is standing unsteadily behind a pile of burning wreckage. One arm hangs limp with a wound in the shoulder, the other arm is raised with the middle finger sticking up. In the background is a grey building on one side, and a forest in the other. The sky is clear, aside from smoke from the fire. Rust's motorcycle can be seen fallen over among the wreckage. Green bloody footprints are seen coming from Rust, indicating it had walked out of the wreckage. Rust is yelling at someone off screen. Dialogue bubble 1: The fuck are you looking at?? The FUCK are you LOOKING AT?! Dialogue bubble 2: You think I'm done?? Come at me, bastards! Right here right fucking now let's go!!]

[Image ID 3: There is a darkened room with large computer electronics on either side. A doorway is in the back. Doc is standing to the right, hands raised in a casual manner. Tesla is behind and to the left, crouching by one of the machines, one hand pressed to the machines. Pink lightning is coming from its hand, which is spreading across the machines. Doc is speaking. Dialogue 1: Now, you all strike me as reasonable people...]

Your regular reminder that Musk doesn't suck only at his disinformation and hate propagation site. And the 5th circuit court is willing to anything to make things worse for regular people.

Hi, I just have a silly question on if any of the tlt cast characters are neurodivergent? (I mainly ask cause projection + a lot of the fandom is neurodivergent lol/pos)

I mean Yoav and I certainly both are neurodivergent lol. Like do you mean the characters in canon? My POV around the tombsonas specifically is that they’re intentionally semi-blank slates that we as a community kinda imprint on. For example if you’re AuDHD and you feel a kinship with Tesla, then Tesla can be AuDHD! The fact that the tombsonas pair with an indefinite amount of people across all of time and space means that EVERYONE is in the mix. I don’t want anyone to feel excluded or unrepresented because canon has not specifically shouted them out. Or feel like “well I have dyspraxia and so does Armstrong, so that forces me to look at them as representing me, when otherwise I’d more relate to Doc.”

There’s a (maybe apocryphal) story attributed to Stan Lee where he emphasized the importance Spider-Man being fully covered head to toe, because it means almost anyone can feel like they could be inside the suit - I feel much the same way about the Tombsonas. They’re not people - YOU are the people, so whatever is in you is in them.

Outside the tombsonas, I definitely think (emphasis on think, as these are my headcanon not literal canon) Snoozie is ADHD or AuDHD, Haru has BPD, and Drunk Guy atop his canonical addiction also has PTSD.

Tombsona : Lifeform Codex

Multiverse [[fandom]]: The Living Tombstone

Prime [[Canon]] Examples: zero_one, Rust, Armstrong, Tesla, Doc, Geist

Outer dimensional entities transcend time and space and attach themselves to host lifeforms by fate. They are considered rare in and of themselves to every given universe they had first manifested and can span past multiple universes with varying methods of bonding to a host. Some actively profile their hosts while others happen to bond with their hosts in the right set of circumstances. A constant general profile they all share is a skull mask on their faces.

The body of the hosts are infused with mysterious substance called soulite that have a wide range of colors and tones. Some even have been said to master void and infinity but only within certain contexts.

They are not conventionally ‘alive’ and it’s still unclear their actual origins save for legends mentioning a ‘Progenitor’. This has become a double-edged sword because of those who seek their power and/or see tombsonas as an existential threat. Some have gone so far as to create synthetic ones such as Geist in the prime universe. It's unclear if they can find a host or if their existence is finite, at least the hostless ones.

- Full disclosure, there are indeed exceptions to whats layed out in this lifeform codex and it’s also more Fanon/headcanon and is subject to change once more canon information is to come out via TLT’s lore channel (or maybe even here) by Sam Haft himself.

Key

● Common

■ Uncommon

▲ Rare

♦ Ultra Rare

Categories

- Anchored ■

Are anchored to object(s) for unclear reasons. They don't get much in the way of profiling their future host prior to being found.

- Elemental ●

Ones with an elemental affinity to them such as fire, ice, lightning, etc. Their emotional state effects the stability of their elements.

- Ethereal ▲

Those who are more supernaturally inclined. Most in this category tend to be more in the know about their hosts beforehand.

- Polymorphic ●

This type changes the very phycology of their host upon the bonding process being complete.

- Singularity ♦

Tombsonas are usually stronger than regular ones and only a handful of them are in a given universe. They are said to even be considered mere legends even amongst themselves.

Synthetic ▲

Man-made tombsonas usually have a set-in-stone objective programmed into them. Most don’t need a host while a sparse few do depending on their universe’s knowledge on tombsonas in general.

- Hosted ♦

- Non-hosted ●

Color Scheme Variations

- Monochrome ●

- Duo Toned ■

- Tri or Tetra Color ▲

Anyway, remember to self care and hydrate and I hope you have a good day :)

Major Buying Opportunity AheadPlease click here for a chart of iShares 20 Plus Year Treasury Bond ETF TLT.Note the following: The chart shows that The Arora Report call that was made on August 2 was very timely and spot on. The chart shows the dramatic drop in TLT. The chart shows that the volume on the drop yesterday was a record. In The Arora Report analysis, this is one indication of potential capitulation. In general, it pays to buy when a capitulation occurs. However, this is only one of the several important capitulation indicators. For those wanting next-level information, listen to the podcast in Arora Ambassador Club titled “The Ten Secrets Of Epic Capitulation Riches.” RSI on the chart shows that TLT is oversold and beginning to bounce. This indicates that if the macro data is favorable, TLT can move up quickly. In The Arora Report analysis, the short interest in bonds right now is likely the highest ever. Assuming our analysis is correct, if favorable macro data is released, TLT can experience a major short squeeze and run up.   In The Arora Report analysis, all of the foregoing is only short term. For the long term, The Arora Report has a negative view of bonds due to high debt levels, high deficits, and persistent inflation.  Weak Automatic Data Processing Inc ADP data this morning is lifting bonds, and in turn, stocks. ADP is the largest private payroll processor in the country. It uses its data to give a glimpse of the jobs picture ahead of the official jobs report that will be released on Friday.  ADP employment change came at 89K vs. 150K consensus. There are three pieces of data ahead that can dramatically move TLT, and in turn, the stock market. ISM Non-Manufacturing Index will be released today at 10am ET. The consensus is 53.7. Initial claims will be released at 8:30am ET on October 5. The consensus is 225K. Initial claims is a leading indicator and carries heavy weight in our adaptive ZYX Asset Allocation Model with inputs in ten categories. In plain English, adaptiveness means that the model changes itself with market conditions. Please click here to see how this is achieved.  One of the reasons behind The Arora Report’s unrivaled performance in both bull and bear markets is the adaptiveness of the model. Most models on Wall Street are static. They work for a while and then stop working when market conditions change. The jobs report will be released at 8:30am ET on October 6. The consensus for non-farm private payrolls is 150K. The consensus for the headline is 158K. If the economic data is such that the bonds turn up, the market mechanic of year end chase will start kicking in. If this market mechanic turns out to be to the upside, expect a major rally and a buying opportunity in the stock market. There are never any guarantees. For this reason, it is important to stay in tune with the new data as it comes in. Understanding market mechanics can give you a big edge. For example, about two thirds of the market rise this year is due to market mechanics. For those who want next-level information, a podcast titled “Market Mechanics: Gain An Edge From Year End Chase '' will go live in Arora Ambassador Club today.  As an actionable item, the sum total of the foregoing is in the protection band, which strikes the optimum balance between various crosscurrents. Please scroll down to see the protection band.

Based on individual risk preference, consider holding 🔒 in cash or Treasury bills or allocated to short-term tactical trades; and short to medium-term hedges of 🔒, and short term hedges of 🔒. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges. The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive. If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash. When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks. High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.Traditional 60/40 PortfolioProbability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less. Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.The Arora Report is known for its accurate calls. The Arora Report correctly called the 2008 financial crash, the start of a mega bull market in 2009, the COVID crash, the post-COVID bull market, and the 2022 bear market. Please click here to sign up for a free forever Generate Wealth Newsletter.

Hey I’m not dead I’ve just been creating and interacting with fandom in a less public way.

Here’s two fics from two fandoms. One big, one...pretty small I think??

Puffy and Pinky's Dramatic Adventure 

Rating:  Mature

Archive Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply

Category: F/M

Fandom: Dream SMP

Puffy has narrowly escaped capture by a band of bounty hunters. Leaving the wreckage of her ship behind, she sets out to meet up with the rest of her crew. Along the way, she runs into a piglin that seems to need a bit of help. Well, Puffy would never turn her back on a lil (actually pretty big) guy in need, right?

That said, seems this piglin was running from something himself.

“It is through destiny alone that its hosts find Rust’s armor.” But what happens after that?

Or, the story of Rust reforming in a new body, in a new place, and proceeding to walk, hitchhike, and train-hop halfway across the country to find its way back to its family. On the way, it’s finding itself again.
