Meet the Mun

ᴡʜᴀᴛ ᴍᴀᴅᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴘɪᴄᴋ ᴜᴘ ᴛʜᴇ ᴄᴜʀʀᴇɴᴛ ᴍᴜꜱᴇ(ꜱ) ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇ?

Okay I'll put this for my canon characters. Pamoon, Lance, Shelby are from main and ended as my favorite ZB characters. Zatch Bell is also my childhood. Fango and Adler are underrated and I decided to have them as muses originally on an older blog. Ra- Always thought he was a cool deity soooo. Zorc- Had fun with him influencing Ramses so I ended up making him a full on muse. Charles- Who doesn't love this man? Of course I had to pick up Charles. Fredrick- Cheese hat. Need I say more? Jaques- I found him an interesting past Toppat leader. Larry- Thought he'd be interesting to play. Sheriff- Cause yes. Whitty- Whole reason why I got into FNF and I think he's a cool character. Tricky- Tricky mod is what got me into Madness and boi was I right when I though this crazy fucker would be fun to play. And ofc I just had to have his minions and that gremlin. Tiky I just found cute. The Sheriff- Hmmm... don't know other than I just like him. Gestalt- Boi did he scare me in the game and I like some characters like that. Plus a cool looking monstrous big boi. V2/V4- Big bois and I like em. The Maker- I love star and galaxy stuff and instantly liked this deity the moment I saw him so how can I not rp him? White Hank- Bestie got Hank and I ended up liking White Hank so I added her. She's a lot of fun. Franziska- Picked her up cause she was my first fav AA character. Until I started liking Sebby. Sebastian- Still like him VERY much and I picked him up since he's a very fun character. Delicia- A fun and underrated character. I like her nicknaming thing too. Twinkle- How can I not pick up a tiny star fellow? I had to not long after I rolled him up and played as him in the game. Axem Rangers X- SMBZ is a big part of my childhood and I always thought they look cool. HIM- PPG is another part of my childhood. Also love just how creepy and how much of a threat he is. And I tested rping as him in Among Us. DJ Music Man- Asked if I or bestie should have him. Bestie said I should so he ended up as muse of mine. DCA- Help Wanted 2 brought back my love for this boi and bestie was fine with duplicates so Daycare bois ended up being the first duplicate. Brighton and Twila- Old muses I brought to this blog. Muse came back for em.

Hmmm 6 and 15 !

6.) Cutest, most vanilla ship you are into.

That's... Kind of a tough one?

Now, in terms of relationships with no sexual connection(though I'm not opposed to it building up into something romantic down the road, though that'd be kind of a WAYS down the road): I'm actually sort of partial toward Sofia/Cedric.

Now, it's been QUITE a couple years. I'd gotten into Sofia the First back when I was babysitting my niece. I actually REALLY enjoyed that show! And I am kinda bummed that it has since wrapped up.

I remember Cedric was built up as this bumbling wizard who was scheming to take over the kingdom. But then you've got Sofia who always sort of looked up to him. And she was always nice to him, and that kindness sort of mellowed him out over time.

And it was, like, SUPER sweet. And I REALLY liked the dynamic the two shared!

Cue me digging into the fanfics...

I ended up happening on a LOT of fanfics of the two -- it's apparently a really popular ship in the Sofia fandom last time I checked! And it was just, like... REALLY endearing!

And before anyone asks: Yes, she has been aged up.

15.) Silliest reason you've been told not to ship a ship.

This was a ways back, and this is... Probably the only time I've ever gotten any form of sass because of my ships?

But back when I had some attachment to the characters from Spyro, I had fallen into the Ripto/Elora pit.

Back when I was writing with Ripto, I was in this server with some fellow Spyro roleplayers. And, like... I had actually written this fic of an AU for Spyro 2 where, instead of bringing Spyro to help out with Ripto(the main antagonist for 2), Elora and her friends accidentally summoned Red(an antagonist from another Spyro game), and he ended up becoming an even bigger threat than the one she initially wanted taken care of?

So it ended up turning into this thing where Elora and Ripto had to team up together anyway. And along the way, Ripto sort of softened up?

But yeah! This was the only fic I had written to completion! Everyone in the discord knew about this ship and was okay with it. And I've since orphaned the fic for different reasons, but I digress.

This one turkey butt got invited in and was like "Oh, Kraken ships these two characters and it's wrong." Blah, blah, blah.

Ended up getting contacted by the mods via DMs about it, and was like...

"Look, I won't mention it in the server. But I'm not gonna just throw the ship away."

I ended up getting booted because they couldn't be certain they could trust me because I put a fiction ship over someone else's comfort. Or some bullshit reason.

I actually came back into that server(I was lonely and had no other friends). That other person had left.

I did NOT feel the same way after.

I had another fallout with these same peeps for a different reason, but boy howdy has it left a sour taste in my mouth.

Alas, that's a story for another time...

people are a lot more critical of eddsworld on tumblr so if u wanna just go off and post a whole college essay of ur criticisms then dont worry about getting eaten alive for it or anything lol

lmao sure king, i know youre probably thinking of the "criticisms of eddsworld" post that i had in my drafts but i need to finish that. instead so nobody is hungry, ill post the script of me "the end of the eddsworld discord server" here and honestly i have always felt safer here. i left twitter because of certain people and certain feelings. mental health is shit and my paranoia is shitter.

The End of the Eddsworld Discord Server

(A script by skaluli for a video that never came out and probably wont.) click" Keep reading" to begin. its kinda long? and has some pictures. (Also afterwards are extra screenshots from the discord that didnt fit into the video itself.)

Well- Cuts to - yes im using the dementia music, this video was supposed to come out before or even close after the closure of the server. Stuff happened and I’m tired. Please excuse what I say that may not matter anymore. I just want to get a video out and it starts by pushing this. ZZZZZZZZ. Happy Halloween or Christmas honestly it could be either.

I suppose it was going to happen at some point, it’s finally the end of the eddsworld discord server. Well expect for the patrons, they still get to do whatever lol. If you’re not in the loop, eddsworld had a discord server, to sum it up it was a place to converse with fellow edd-heads and well isn’t amino. But of course, it doesn’t come out with its own flaws. I mean there was a whole twitter account to showing the weird side of it. It’s over, the eddsworld discord is dead. Whatever the fuck all this is, is gone. Originally this was going to be made a few days before the closure of the discord but I got busy. Busy to the point where the discord server closed like a month ago [THAT’S SO FUNNY SKALULI ITS BEEN EVEN MORE MONTHS] and I’ve only started this script now. It’s called poor time management, don’t be me. [AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA] So, let’s just attempt to bullet point this stuff. Also warning now, I might not have screenshots of everything and I can’t get anything else because well paywall, and even if I did pay, I don’t even know if the original chat still exists. AAAAAA, anyway. I guess I shall start with the “paywall”. So as you know or maybe didn’t or didn’t hear what I said before, the eddsworld server technically didn’t close, just to access the chats and stuff you have to be a patron. But listen kings we get the bloody announcements and twitter feed, yeAHHH. Ahem. Some questions being asked were along the lines of, well why didn’t you just make a separate patron server. Therefore, people not paying still get a somewhere to talk to other eddsworld fans under moderation. Of course, many questions like that and more being asked because well this kinda came out of nowhere. One of the issues is the fact that nobody was answering any of the questions being asked. Avoiding it essentially. Saying things out of the blue, I assume to try and calm the scenario that was created.

Which well got people angry, because well they have a reason to, and you can not deny that. But the thing is the anger got so out of hand that people just started death threating mods. A big note I have to make is that the mods, the crew of which is not Chris or Matthew, and or any of the pateron supporters had a choice in this. They most likely didn’t even know it was coming. You shouldn’t death threat mods and not even just mods just other patreon supporters. [I don’t have screenshots of this but im going by word of someone who said that that was happening to them.] You don’t need me telling you this, it’s basic knowledge. But you do know why they’re doing it though. Because what do you expect by suddenly taking a once-free community and putting a pay-wall over it. Of course people are going to be upset and lash out, even to these extremes. Yes the mods don’t deserve to get treated like this, but they’re getting treated that way by the fans in this case because of what you did. You being Chris and or Matthew. And you yourself not answering on behalf of mods. Leaving themselves having to speak for themselves on a situation that they had no control over. Having to dose the fires of a fire they didn’t even start. An issue being said that the server was getting to out of hand, so it’d just be easier to do what they did [kill the server]. But then why don’t you just hire more mods to manage the community you created? Who knows.

Also not to put my own opinion in here but I kept seeing messages being like “Edd wouldn’t have wanted this” what the fuck. No offense but don’t say that, never say that. Stop. Just pretty please don’t try to speak on behalf on a man that’s been dead for over a decade and act like you would know what he would have wanted. Sorry for the tangent just I see this happening when whatever happens and kids commenting “Edd wouldn’t have wanted this.” Please shush.

Listen I hate kids, I know they can be dumb as shit, I mean after just hearing all that especially. But also, at the end of the day I care about them and if they like and feel safe in the hell of the eddsworld server than you shouldn’t take it away from them. I understand that fan servers are being made but oh god my paranoia of something going wrong since it doesn’t have “trusted moderation” I’m not sure how to put it. It was really only the official safe space to communicate with other eddheads. I just worry that there will be some with ill intentions. I think you can allow me to think that at this point.

And to end it all off, you know how the server’s purpose was just to keep patron content to patrons.

Damn that sure did work.

-cut-

[Note I didn’t write this “now” I wrote this a few days after I mashed this script together.] Okay originally the script ends there on a somewhat snarky remark but while pacing I thought about how I want to make sure my point gets across. I make these videos to help and not harm, by saying that I mean there seems to be a lack of communication between the fans and the crew. And personally, myself I want to try and make a bridge between the two, my own attempts being to show each side and see everything through a different view. Not only I criticize the fans because I want them to improve, I criticize eddsworld because I want the same out of them. Neither is better than the other.

Bonus readout:

Also a request for someone:

Vine thud and then cat thumbs up

END OF SCRIPT

do note that sometimes i change things while recording and dont edit it into the script since well im supposed to be the only one who sees it and says it blah blah.

i have many other various screenshots i took before the discord closed, as i didnt know exactly what i'd need for the video.

here you can have them:

finally the dates of the files since i last touched them: word doc:

audio:

sony vegas:

if you need any clarification on what i mean or say just ask /gen most times i just word things in a way so i can understand it because my brain is fucked.

only thing that isnt here is the audio i recorded for the video and the beginning of the edit of the video. you dont need to hear my voice.

if you need anything else ill be around. i have other screenshots of various other things.

even something that i dont think the person knows anyone got a screenshot of.

anyway im tired like always and forever, i need to work on it. maybe actually take my meds lmao. thank you eddsworld tumblr for allowing criticism of the show. have a good rest of your life.

--Mod LAM

EDIT (August 29): have removed tags for richardarmititty per their request (and for evan-wins for good measure). Please do not submit posts by either party going forward.

Summary: Is it chance that lands Duo and Wufei in the same university dorm room? They're not stupid enough to believe that but too tired to fight it. Duo's dragged himself back from the brink of going too far and remains teetering on the edge while Wufei's doggedly trying to prove himself to the 'good guys' in the aftermath of the Eve Wars. Sleep and normalcy eludes them both. As they become increasingly aware how damaged they are, they start to edge towards friendship, or something more, but all too soon the peace seems jeopardised by a new and manipulative threat.

Pairings: Duo x Relena, implied Heero x Trowa

Characters: Heero, Duo, Trowa, Relena, Hilde

Rating: EXPLICIT

Tags / Warnings: safehouses, friends to lovers, unresolved (and eventually resolved) sexual tension, graphic sexual situations,

Summary: “Not that it’s not a pretty bitchin’ look,” Duo said, his words slightly distorted by the key-pin hanging from his mouth, both his hands engaged with the grocery bags from the pick-up location in the city outside, “And OverKill is an excellent choice, but don’t you have your own clothes?”Relena and Duo are pent up in a safehouse and something’s gotta give. Eventually.

Summary: Out of a war, she had secured the safety of her husband, obtained a third, and had a daughter. They had managed to fix their colony, and they now had viable economic gains that were steady and sufficient to support their people because she had felt greedy, angry, horny, and petty, yes. Because her husband had been fascinated by the man who was now showing Mei-Xing the parts of a rose bloom, and stumbling for a moment as Wufei gave him the right words in Mandarin.

My Turn To Talk About VioletVineyard, MVCreates, and the Glaring Problems of Power Imbalances.

Introduction

I have been on the fence about talking about my experiences, on one hand, because one of her mods and I are or maybe were (?) friends, and I valued their friendship but in recent light, I don’t know and because I want my main to be a safe place for other writeblrs and because I am afraid.

I was in VioletVineyard at the beginning of it -- and being in it did not feel good for reasons I could never put my finger on.

Let's talk about me and who I am first without giving myself away:

I have a disorder that makes expressing myself difficult, this is due to childhood trauma and a form of self preservation. My wording will be clunky because only recently, with the help of amazing friends, I'm learning the right verbage.

Now. Some of you will know who I am. Hello. Please keep me anonymous. Some of you might have a guess. Hello. Surprised? Maybe you're wrong. I don't know, I'm not in your head just as you're not in mine.

I have screenshots for some stuff and none for others. These are all personal experiences.

I will not be sharing the screenshots of those who were victims to respect their privacy.

Please bear with me. I know this will be long and rambly, but it’s how I make sense of my thoughts and brain.

VioletVineyard: Questionable Reality

I joined VV at the start of it, although it was already pretty big. I was excited! I admired many writeblrs who were in there and wanted to be friends with many of them. They were all so welcoming. And I felt, for a hot minute, like I belonged.

It was sprint of my freshman semester as a journalism major, and Mina reached out to me in the general chat, saying that if I needed help or wanted an In at some journalism company, to let her know because she knows people.

Great! Cool. A little odd but that was nice of her -- and.

That's how it starts.

A side: my friend has a theory that if people only present how perfect and amazingly nice they are, they likely are rotting on the inside. Nobody is ever perfect and always super nice, do not trust them. I do not subscribe to this but it is a thought in my mind now.

It took a week of me being there for the not right feeling set in.

First:

There was drama.

She would start it. She'd vague in the vent about someone and then outright state who she was talking about. And it would be about someone whose opinions she disagreed with. People would go and send anons or they'd bitch about whoever was the victim in the vent channel.

I don't remember if I participated but if I did, I am truly and genuinely sorry.

I think I got stressed two weeks in. I was already ill from invisible physical problems. The server felt horribly unmoderated.

I remember saying something because Mina was doing it again and being told,

"Then support in here."

Mostly innocent right? You support your friends, right?

It wouldn't have been a problem if:

The victim did something wrong.

Mina and this person weren't in their goddamn 30s or near that. They have a child, by the way.

The person was at least under 20.

From my scattered memory, the issue was OP either slightly vagued abt Mina or she just disgreed with OP.

Lots of red flags, right?

"But OP why did you stay?"

Emotional masochism? Fear? Because she, either knowingly or unknowingly cultivated this sort of atmosphere? I cannot speak for anyone else, but that's the reasoning for me.

There was, also, in the beginning, a hope that maybe things would change. Varying personalities, you know? And a desperate need for validation.

So, so wrong.

MVCreates & OP

So, get to the point OP. What happened to you?

A vague threat.

Mina....had Opinions. And opinions are just that, opinions but for her, they were fact. After all, she has her own reality and own story that helped form hers but some of hers were odd. Maybe not to most people who aren’t paying attention or didn’t notice the red flags ( “through rose colored glasses, all red flags just look like flags”) but they were definitely something.

She, for awhile, talked an awful lot about writeblr positivity. I could never really make sense of it -- she either supported it or was against it, from what I remember. (keep in mind, this was a little over a year ago and visually, I can see the gaudy green - red - yellow colors for pronoun preferences).

And I made a vague post about it and her. A few times. I was in the wrong for vaguing about her instead of just saying something up front.

Her response was, and I will paraphrase,

“Do you ever screenshot people vaguing about you just in case they enter a political career?”

I wish I had taken a screenshot. I’m sorry now that I did not. Maybe someone saw that, maybe they brushed it off. I don’t know.

From then on, I kept quiet about my thoughts and opinions because I did have plans to go into a political career -- but jokes on her, I plan on being a human rights officer for the United Nations lmao

Another incident (we’re almost done, I promise):

I was -- venting about gender dysphoria. I was Peak Suicidal at this point in time, just knowing what I was born with brought me to tears frequently. Mina had jumped into in the conversation and started talking about something vaguely related. She started talking about trans BIPOC experiences, which is great! Their experiences are things that need to be talked about because they are often thrown to the side for trans white people’s experiences and that is not okay.

I forget the middle part, it’s been over a year. It went from BIPOC experiences to something else, a conversation about gender? I don’t know. Maybe there’s someone out there who remembers. I doubt it though.

I remember saying, “I wish I would have been born with testicles and everything else because [I’m in hell?]” and she answered with,

“That would [mean / cause / ???? ] privilege.”

This person who has claimed she is non binary, claimed to be a trans ally and part of the trans community, said that to someone in the height of dysphoria and was suicidal.

You do not say that to someone who is experiencing gender dysphoria. To say that is transphobia. And yes, trans & non binary people can be transphobic. You are not exempt.

Violet Vineyard & Reprehensible Behaviors

Before I start this section, and I promise this is almost done, I just want to thank:

@radley-writes, @gingerly-writing, @lilquill, @sapiencenotes @rrrawrf-writes & many more who have come forward about their experiences, whether publicly and in private. It’s admirable and brave of you to do something I could not. @nuwuhorizons & @time-to-write-and-suffer have amazing documentation as well.

There isn’t much to say that hasn’t already been said and documented, but I can corroborate the bullying Mina and the mods engaged in -- the stuff Radley spoke about I did not know about -- and that makes me ill. I’m glad they owned up to what they did, and for that, thank you Radley. It shows you are a much bigger and better person.

I will not lie, however -- I was hurt and felt a bit ill when you talked about what the mods did. And it made me question and second guess a friendship I have (had?) with another mod. But I think that helped put some pieces of the puzzle together.

An incident that stands out to me (and honestly bothers me, so a few people have heard about this often and I’m sorry), very clearly and I have screenshots for but will not share to protect their privacy, was when they dogpiled someone who had been asking about writing a Jewish character. While they were falling into somewhat harmful stereotypes, VV was handling it.

Not well.

The person was a minor, for one -- teenagers make mistakes, they make them more if they’re not exposed to varying cultures and beliefs. And the person who was on the receiving end of this dogpile looked to be coming more and more unstable and all I could do is just. Grab screenshots of what I could.

And if you’re reading this, you know who you are, I am so sorry I didn’t say anything. That wasn’t right, the entire situation wasn’t okay. You shouldn’t have gone through that. I hope you find healing and peace.

A quick disclaimer: Violet Vineyard, as far as I know, didn’t have a lot of Jewish members. I know a mod was converting (but hadn’t yet) and I think I saw one or two people with the Star of David in their name or icon. That said, my paternal grandmother was Jewish and had been one of the few survivors of her family from the Holocaust. I cannot speak for the entire Jewish population, and I do not consider myself Jewish in religion but trust me when I say this:

YHWH would be disappointed in their (VV’s) behavior -- and if the moderator who is working on converting is genuine about converting, then I need them to think long and hard about what is happening. This isn’t what Judaism teaches. And if you’re reading this, ask yourself, would G-d condone the actions of your fellow ex mods?

Final Words

Oof, this was long, wasn’t it? Must have been hard to sit through because I ramble! So. What’s left for me to say?

Not a whole lot but still, a lot but the stuff I want to say are not my lived experiences. It is not my place to speak on behalf of anyone else involved in all of this. And that is okay.

But to the people who were involved with the recent drama and dogpiled a trans teenager and to those who helped bully many people in this community on behalf of the oh so great Mina,

my question is why?

What was a thirty year old woman, WHO HAS A CHILD, bullying a nineteen year old? Why was an almost thirty year old person with a toddler and one on the way involved in this as well?

Most or a decent handful of you were adults, some with children, some expecting.

And Mina,

You used your age and position to manipulate people and for that, I find you the most reprehensible. Castor did not deserve what happened, neither did the victim mentioned above. Nobody did.

I hope, in the end, you finally find happiness without having to lie about your talent and without having to manipulate people.

Thank you for listening and sticking around if you made it this far and didn’t bounce in the beginning.

I’ve said my part. If anyone wants to engage in constructive discussion or share their experiences, feel free to do so.

From The Ideas Folder: Yogscast Library Story

So I've decided to flood Tumblr with the contents of my Ideas folder; or at least the ones I think are worth sharing. It'll be mostly random unfulfilled ideas, with a few complete ones, like this. Please note some of these are quite old. I'll provide some context or notes where I can.

This is a story I wrote during my time on the Yogscast Wiki, the somewhat official fan run wiki. I had a lot of fun there, and I made my first proper "Internet Friends" there, but after a while I simply slipped away from it. That's life I guess. Or maybe my hyper-fixations shifted. Anyway, this was my attempt at adding a bit of fantasy to the wiki, just a short story styled like a... travel guide? Idk.

Behold the Yogscast Library! It’s shelves stretch for what seems an infinity. Inside the books, known as “Pages,” is the total fan-based knowledge of the Yogscast. Each Page is sorted in a complex system of categories. It can be easy to get lost within the shelves, but the clever searcher will always be able to escape to the front of the Library, or the “Front Page.”

Pages and categories

Pages can be either small or big, but they contain the knowledge of a single subject. They may contain graphs or illustrations, but mostly follow similar patterns. Users in any level can affect the writing in a Page, adding or removing. Some Pages, however, contain important information so they are locked by Admins, stopping Lower Level Users from editing them.

When you are searching the Library, it helps to have a certain goal in mind. The Pages are all sorted into “categories” by the Users, and so if you focus on a particular subject, you are likely to find a number of Pages. Occasionally, you may find books that have no categories on them, in which case do not read it as it is a Ghost Page (See below).

Creatures of the Library

There are a number of creatures, mostly spiritual in nature, that wander the shelves of the Library. The most important, broadly named the “User,” has an interesting and varied lifespan. The life span is based around “Karma Points,” which the User collects by making good edits to Pages. Once a User has collected enough Karma Points, it ascends to its next level of its existence.

All Users start as an Anon, or Anonymous. These weak spirits are mostly invisible and shapeless, and it can be hard to distinguish one from the other. Anons can be either helpful; cleaning up the Pages, adding useful information, or they can be “Troll” Anons. These spirits delight in vandalizing the books, destroying the information kept within them, or adding lies and heresy, disguising them alongside the truths. These Troll Anons are usually dealt with by the Admins. It is important to note, while an Anon spirit may have good intentions, it’s attempts to edit can leave the Page in a state.

Once an Anon has gained enough Karma Points, it can ascend to the main part of it’s existence, which is simply called a User. This is when a spirit gains a name and shape, allowing it to stand out from other spirits. An Anon can spend years in the Library, never ascending, or it can become a User as soon as it appears. Some Users seem to come from other Libraries. Generally the User is the longest part of the spirit's existence, and it will usually retain its chosen name forever, while it is not uncommon for it to change its shape many times. Users also converse with higher level spirits more often than Anons, and usually all users are great help to the Library, although some have been known to retain their Troll status from being an Anon.

After a long amount of time in the Library, and after gaining enough Karma Points, a User will be able to become a Higher Level User. Higher Level Users have certain powers and abilities that allow them to better guard and edit the Library. Usually a User will send a request through the Library, and the Higher Level Users will either vote on whether or not to help the User to ascend. The Higher Level Users will judge on how long the User has been active in the Library, how many Karma Points they have, and how well the User interacts with other spirits. If enough Users vote yes, the User will be ascended a Level. Each time a spirit wants to ascend again, it must allow itself to be judged again. Sometimes however, when there are not enough Higher Level Users in the Library, Users can be offered Higher Levels.

The first two levels are very similar, and are sometimes granted at the same time. “Chat Mods” are charged with maintaining “The Chat,” a telepathic connection that Users share. A Chat Mod can forcibly remove Users from The Chat, or block them for any length of time. “Forum Mods” look after “The Forums,” which is a physical record of the discussions of Users. Chat Mods and Forum Mods glow with varying shades of blue.

The next level for a User is “Rollback.” This grants Users the ability to turn back time in Pages, allowing them to quickly undo vandalism. Rollbacks glow with a red light. At this point it is interesting to note, once a User has reached a level, it will retain the powers of that level as it ascends further.

The second to last level of a User is an “Admin,” who glow with a green light. Admins have the power to ban Users and Anons from editing Pages, lock Pages so they can no longer edited, destroy Pages and help other Users ascend. They also have the ability to affect reality within the Library, a process called “Editing the Code.”

Most Users only get as far as the Admin level, however some ascend to the level of “Bureaucrat.” Bureaucrats are the ultimate authority in the Library, with the abilities to revoke all levels apart from other Bureaucrats. They glow with a golden light, and as they pass it is said that the Pages are cured of all vandalism. There are only a few Bureaucrats active in the Library at any time, however they are always supported by the Admins and Rollbacks.

The end of a User's lifespan can come on any level. The User simply fades, becoming “inactive.” Occasionally inactive Users reappear, either spontaneously, or when they are called upon by their fellow Users. Sadly however, a great number of “Users” have risen through the levels, then simply vanished. The vast majority of High Level Users are inactive, however enough remain to allow the wiki to run smoothly.

Other creatures that lurk the Library’s shelves include Ads, who attempt to trick the unwary into buying useless, or sometimes dangerous objects. Ghost Pages, while not sentient, are remains of Pages that have been removed from the categorization of the Library. Attempting to read them causes you to be trapped, and it can be hard to escape from them. Occasionally Troll Users can be a threat, however as long as they are not Rollback level they are easy to deal with, and you can simply call for an Admin to ban them. There are also unseen creatures, one called “The Lag,” which causes you to slow down until you escape its grasp, and a “Crash,” which can block off the passageways in the library. Both are strong enough to affect even Bureaucrats, however they cannot manifest for long, and eventually they completely vanish.

Honestly when I wrote the bit about a User's lifetime I wasn't sure I'd ever leave the wiki, but I did. Reached Admin level, then just faded away, although sometimes I go back to see what is new.

Hope you enjoyed reading this.

P.S. Oh also, if anyone from the Yogscast Wiki sees this... s'up.

NAME: Lucanor.

NICKNAME: Bro.

AGE: (Gf’s age) - 5

LIKES:

His sister. He is overjoyed when she visits and loves talking about books or music with her.

Literature. This has led him to have an extensive knowledge and collection of books, among his favorites are mostly classical spanish works such as Don Juan Manuel’s El Conde Lucanor, Buero Vallejo’s La Fundación, Camilo José Cela’s La Colmena. He specially fond of works which are descriptive of the surroundings they take part in.

Classical Music. If he was to ever appear in a mod this would be the feel its music should have. He does not have a preference within the genre and can enjoy other genres as long as they have an interesting melody to them.

Intellectual discussion. As many literates do, he enjoys analyzing what he likes in the company of fellow intellectuals.

DISLIKES:

Things that hurt/upset his sister. He is really protective of her and prone to destructive rage fits to any action he interprets the least harmful to her. This would be a premise for a week 6-esque last phase turnaround.

Being locked up, the only method he has to receive any books or experience the outside world is his sister. He yearns to meet new people, places, and art. He hopes to one day be able to travel to Spain and see many of the sights described thoroughly in his favorite books.

RELATIONS:

Gf. They consider themselves siblings (to their father’s dismay). They are very close and always prefer to enjoy things such as reading or listening to music together. Their relationship is, to be expected, very sibling-like, they have their disagreements but generally love and enjoy each other's company very much. Gf kinda wants to get him and his family to make amends and accept each other but both parties involved are not keen on meeting again any time soon.

Daddy Dearest: They loathe each other to the very core. Daddy sees him as a disappointment and threat to his daughter, the reason he has not given him a much worse fate is because of his daughter’s pleas. Lucanor has been under him his entire life as nothing but a tool. It was his fault that he went berserk and also that he is trapped forever in a decrepit tower.

Mommy: Funnily enough, they can kinda tolerate each other at least. Yes, it is far from more than just a boss-employee relationship but at the very least she respects his help and protection and even allowed him to substitute one of her backup dancers sometime which he very much enjoyed.

Skid and Pump maybe itd be adorable tho

PERSONALITY:

While brutish and primitive in the use of the english tongue, he is a very intellectual and intelligent fellow. He can be somewhat inexperienced and gullible thanks to his isolation from the outside world but he definitely has a very developed artistic intelligence especially in the literary arts. He is also very kind and obliging by nature (as daddy intended) which makes him quite likeable despite his monstrous looks. However when his sister is ever so slightly upset he becomes angry beyond reason, he yells in an unexpectedly more fluent manner and breaks anything in his path.

BACKGROUND:

Born from the union of Daddy Dearest and his wife through artificial means as a way to protect the household, Lucanor has always been the black sheep of the family and received next to no love from his parents. Gf, however, took pity on his brother in blood, she would sneak out onto his room and read stories together while their parents were asleep or on business travels. This continued on as their bond grew warmer until, when gf was 8, she asked her father to accept him into the family. The father did not only disallow it but also intensely scolded gf in front of Lucanor. This caused him to lose it and go into a destructive rampage almost killing dad and hurting his sister. When he was right about to strike her he came to and stopped, whiting out entirely. Daddy dearest became wary of him and implanted an electric rod on his skull which would shock him whenever he would either go into rage or escape the prison he was planning to put him in. He was sent and trapped on a tower which, after much, much begging, gf was allowed to visit regularly. She visits often with books and music to keep him company.

OCCUPATION:

Formerly his sister’s family bodyguard, has found himself unemployed as an unavoidable consequence of his imprisonment. However, he has ever since self educated himself on rudimentary english, spanish, literature, philosophy and mathematics thanks to the books provided by her sister which usually comes from mommy’s allowance.

If the copyright and IP organization of your region isn’t mentioned here, please know that if we are contacted by them regarding copyright and intellectual property transgressions by our users, we will consider their inquiries just as seriously as those from the organizations mentioned above.

While we are on the subject of copyright and intellectual property, it’s important you remember that we consider fanart and derivative work to be fair use. Fair use is a right, don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise. Using culture to express yourself and create your own representation is something that we at Queer Your Game actively encourage.

Reposting original art, derivative work, and fanart as your own without crediting the artist or appropriating art, derivative work, and fanart is forbidden. If we find out that you are stealing original art, derivative work, and fanart from the artists in our community—whether from Discord, Tumblr, Twitter, or anywhere else our users are present—for commercial purposes, you will be reported to said platforms, to the relevant authorities, and you will be immediately banned from Queer Your Game. Forever.

The sharing and/or promoting of illegal activities and illegal materials, like piracy, copyright and intellectual property infringement, betting and gambling, pornography, pornography involving children/animals/violence, political parties, etc. are forbidden in our community cross-platforms.

Please don’t use the community Discord and other platforms for your advertisement of any kind, unless you are affiliated with Queer Your Game and/or we have given you permission to do so. Yes, that includes charities and fandom projects. Do not ever ask for money or promote your Ko-fi, your Patreon, your PayPal, your Kickstarter, your IndieGoGo, etc. unless you are affiliated with Queer Your Game and we have given you permission to do so.

Remember when we said that your safety is our main concern at Queer Your Game? That starts with keeping your personal information secret. Do not ever share your personal information in our Discord Server or publically on our other platforms. If you want to share your personal information with a fellow Gaymer, add them as a friend and share what you wish to share via private direct messages.

Nobody at Queer Your Game, Admins or Mods, will ever ask you for your personal information in our Discord server—unless you are in the SOS channel and you are requiring immediate IRL assistance, and we do mean life or death situations.

If you are caught sharing another Gaymer’s personal information, you will be banned. If you obtained that information illegally, we will report you to the authorities in your country of residence.

To become a part of our gayming community you need to follow our application process. We do not allow Gaymers to have multiple accounts—especially if you have been kicked or banned and you’re trying to trick us into adding you again. Don’t do it.

If we catch you impersonating another Gaymer, you will be banned and reported.

By the way, don’t use offensive usernames. By offensive we mean insulting, discriminatory, violent, sexual, etc.. Oh and don’t copy another Gaymer’s username either.

We are running an 18 and older Discord server and we don’t mind you discussing all sorts of topics, including sex. I mean, we’re gay. It’s okay. Just don’t be inappropriate. Don’t link to porn, under 18 content, illegal content, or you know, all the stuff we already mentioned above. Don’t upload under 18 or NSFW content in the chat, don’t use porn/violent/discriminative GIFs, don’t swear like a sailor, don’t spam.

Using our community Discord for sexual acts or intercourse, the promotion of sexual services and the exploitation of children is prohibited.

We will have zero tolerance for Gaymers who bully, harass, verbally abuse or berate other Gaymers in-game, on Discord or any other platforms Queer Your Game is on. Hate speech is not okay. Do not promote violence against anyone, especially other marginalized folks. If we catch you bashing on someone, alone or in a group, you’re done.

If you have a disagreement with someone or you’re getting upset and you feel like lashing out, find a Mod, take a break. If you can’t manage what’s going on in the moment, walk away, send us an email or DM us. Criticism should always be polite and constructive. In fact, one of the mottos we use in every aspect of our work at Queer Your Game is “To be a voice of criticism, be a force of proposition.” It’s good advice; you’re welcome.

Trolling in-game, on Discord and other platforms Queer Your Game is on is unacceptable. Don’t ruin the experience of other people. That goes for spoiling. Whether it’s about a game, a movie, a book, a tv show, just don’t spoil, okay? Now, we know some of you will want to talk about every bit of spoiler and juicy news out there so we made you a channel on Discord.

In-game, we expect you to show fair play, to win with dignity and lose with grace, and to support your fellow Gaymers and teammates. Cheating and hacking are prohibited. Respect in-game rules and codes of conduct. No friendly kills, no awoxing, no spawn killing, no stealing from other Gaymers, no destroying other Gaymers property. Oh and no botting.

Raging is a no-go. Don’t rage quit, don’t yell at your fellow Gaymers, don’t insult people, don’t swear excessively, etc.. If you can’t handle what’s going on in-game, if you know you’re going to lose it, walk away. It’s that simple.

Cooperation and support are promoted within Queer Your Game. We like transparency and we think that champions, raid leaders and more skilled Gaymers should lead and help and teach and theorycraft and strategize and all the good things that can advance their fellow Gaymers, their own teams, parties and guilds of Gaymers. Just don’t go around sharing all of that on social media unless it’s made clear that it’s okay or you’re the person who came up with it.

At Queer Your Game we consider ourselves proponents of social justice and equal rights. We also know what a lot of social media platforms and communities refuse to acknowledge: tech and media are not neutral and no community or person is apolitical. While we encourage conversation and we understand that nobody’s perfect and no content is unproblematic, we want everyone to have the opportunity to enjoy the diversity of our community as they have fun, share, learn, educate themselves and grow. We expect all Gaymers to be on their best behavior. If you witness any of the following behaviors, report it to a Mod.

Racism, anti-blackness, xenophobia, white supremacy, Islamophobia, antisemitism, cultural appropriation, and bigotry will not be tolerated.

If you’re a transphobe or a TERF, don’t apply. We don’t want you. We also expect Gaymers to respect their fellow Gaymers’ pronouns. Misgendering will be sanctioned.

Sexism and misogyny won’t be tolerated. If you’re a white feminist, we don’t like you either. And if you don’t know what that is, we encourage you to check Google.

Ableism, food-shaming, fat-shaming, and all physical discrimination or belittling are rude and forbidden.

Don’t police, gatekeep, etc.. We have Mods and Admins, and we have guidelines. Your judgment of others is not required nor welcome.

Threats, incitation to violence and self-destroying behaviors, and any activity or conversation that could lead to your physical or emotional harm are completely forbidden and will get a Gaymer banned.

Suicide stunts or self-harm for attention-seeking, entertainment, or bad jokes will be sanctioned.

We have created an SOS text chat and voice channel on our Discord. Our intention is to provide a safe space for any Gaymer who would find themselves in a sudden and terrible struggle. If you are in danger, if you are in crisis, if you are experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, etc., anything that would require immediate assistance, you can, if you choose to, go into the SOS text and voice channels.

We want to make it clear that, even though our Moderators are notified that if they are alerted or see a Gaymer in an SOS channel, they should immediately check on them, we cannot shoulder the responsibility of your well being and your safety. We will not offer professional and trained support even if some of our Moderators and Admins could be trained professionals. For now, we can only provide you with a safe space and common sense help if we are able. We will call the police or an ambulance if you need them and we happen to be able to. We will stay with you if you require a presence. We will help provide you with crisis helpline phone numbers if they’re available where you reside so you can seek the appropriate help.

Please don’t abuse the SOS channels. We cannot stress enough that this specific gesture is a way for Queer Your Game to show you in action that we care. We are not in any position to be responsible for your safety and/or your well being and we do not make any promises of trained support or life-altering actions. Therefore Queer Your Game—as private individuals or as a corporation—is not liable for you.

Rule Enforcement

Queer Your Game is a moderated space, on Discord, on Social Media, in forums, and in-game. We have Moderators, Admins, and Super Admins.

As a moderated space and community, Queer Your Game does, in fact, exercise a certain censure as described in our community guidelines. We reserve the right to change them, although we will let you know when that happens.

The appreciation of your violations and of your behaviors remain up to the discretion of our Mods, Admins and Super Admins. You can appeal a sanction, a temporary kick or ban, a definitive ban, etc. by emailing us at [email protected]. The decision to maintain, alter or lift your sanction(s) is also to the discretion of our Mods, Admins and Super Admins.

The offense system is as follows:

You can get warnings of different gravity in-game, in Discord chat or voice channels, in your mentions and in your DMs or PMs depending on the platform you commit your offense on.

If warnings don’t have an immediate impact on your behavior, you can be asked to a private conversation with a Mod, an Admin or a Super Admin on Discord.

A small offense will get you an email, a DM or a PM, possibly a temporary time out or kick, most likely a private scolding and a mark on your account.

A serious offense will get you the same treatment as a small offense, a definite scolding, a kick or ban for the length we deem fit, and you will lose your status in the community. When you come back, you will have to go through a return interview and you will start fresh as a Padawan Gaymer on probation.

A grave offense will mean your immediate kick from our Discord and a ban will be decided by our team of Mods, Admins, and Super Admins. You’ll receive an email informing you of your ban and our definitive decision.

We may ask for your opinions, thoughts, and ideas in polls and voting events.

We at Queer Your Game think strongly about the ethics of our project. We believe in transparency and in taking in different perspectives. To that end, we regularly consult with outside professionals in different fields and we are in the process of recruiting different individuals for our reference and sensitivity group.

Operation: Ambulas Reborn

(Operation: Ambulas Reborn splash)

Operation

On Thursday (04 May 2017), the event began with the release of Update 20.4 and was set to run for a week. Upon logging in, the Tenno would receive an inbox message from Ergo Glast containing a marketing video by Frohd Bek.

Inbox message: OPERATION: AMBULAS REBORN

Tenno,

I have intercepted this disturbing communication from Corpus Board Chairman Frohd Bek. Watch carefully. We cannot allow his project to reach fruition.

—Ergo Glast

Frohd Bek (video): "Actualise… synergy… SYNERGISE. Growth… profit… GROFIT?! Fellow profiteers, this is a once-in-a-lifetime strategic investment opportunity. A game-changer in robotic combat solutions. We're taking big data from our Animo Project and doing a full-stack integration into our most lethal combat proxies. This is: AMBULAS, REBORN! But we need you. Your investment will push us past the pre-revenue stage and move Ambulas into full production. We are so close to our goal! Thought leaders, are you ready to pivot downturns into rising Grofit?! Act quickly before— [bell sounds] wait… I'm being told— Yes, this is it! The Ambulas Reborn project has reached its funding goal!"

Ergo Glast: "The Sequence has raised funds necessary to back this project. Of course, we do not seek to complete it, but to destroy it. Because of our small backing, we're entitled to information regarding the Ambulas production details. Will you help us stop Frohd's project, Tenno?"

The news post for the event had additional information:

Frohd Bek is back and he's brought a powerful new threat!

Perrin Sequence leader Ergo Glast has intercepted disturbing communication. The profit-hungry Corpus are attempting to grow their military to dangerous and uncontrollable levels. Corpus Board Chairman Frohd Bek is inviting investors to witness the newest and deadliest Ambulas prototype live on the battlefield. The Ambulas is equipped with a state-of-the-art processor called Animo that learns and grows from every encounter.

Work with Ergo Glast and fellow Tenno to halt Frohd's project and disrupt Ambulas deployment before they see widespread use. New dropships containing the Ambulas prototype have been sighted on Corpus planets. Take them down and make the investors think twice!

Phase One: Animo Beacons

On all Corpus-controlled planets, new Condor dropships would appear on open-air tiles. These dropships were indestructible and equipped with turrets (which were themselves destructible), and would deliver several Corpus units to the area, along with a new Ambulas proxy.

(when a dropship warps in, variant) Frohd Bek: "Here comes the dropship with a special delivery! Ah, I haven't felt this good since they rebuilt my larynx."

(when a dropship warps in, variant) Frohd Bek: "Our dropship response times are second to none, ensuring prompt delivery in mission-critical roles."

(when a dropship deploys an Ambulas, variant) Frohd Bek: "Crewmen, today my reborn Ambulas takes her first steps in the field. You must be thinking, 'If I work hard and sacrifice as much as Frohd Bek has done, may I someday share in this inestimable profit?' The answer is yes."

(when a dropship deploys an Ambulas, variant) Frohd Bek: "Corpus investors, ready for a surprise demonstration? I give you my reborn Ambulas. Allow me to show you what she can do to these Tenno, uh, 'volunteers'."

(when a dropship deploys an Ambulas, variant) Ergo Glast: "Men like Frohd Bek are the reason the Perrin Sequence exists. Show him you won't allow suffering to be profitable."

(when a dropship deploys an Ambulas, variant) Ergo Glast: "Ambulas is only the beginning. If Animo reaches a critical mass of understanding… well, this was the mistake the Orokin made. Things did not turn out so well for them."

(when a dropship deploys an Ambulas, variant) Ergo Glast: "Animo learns from every Ambulas encounter. Under its command, no two proxies will repeat the same mistake. We can't allow this machine mind to mature."

(when a dropship deploys an Ambulas, variant) Ergo Glast: "The wealth generated by this new Ambulas will flow entirely to the Corpus Board. Meanwhile, the rest of the System is going to pay for it, some with their lives. Tenno, shut this program down now."

The Tenno had to destroy the Ambulas proxy.

(when Ambulas uses its Fusion Thrower, variant) Frohd Bek: "Powerful. Precise. Pitiless. There has never been a fusion thrower like this."

(when Ambulas uses its Fusion Thrower, variant) Frohd Bek: "One of our engineers commented that Ambulas' fusion thrower is precise enough to shave the back hairs off a Phobian desert flea. Delightful."

(when Ambulas uses its ground slams, variant) Frohd Bek: "Ground-burst technology ensures effortless target suppression."

(when Ambulas uses its ground slams, variant) Frohd Bek: "X-axis gravity-driven assaults yield a 200% improvement in kinetic force."

(when Ambulas uses its ground slams, variant) Frohd Bek: "Ground bursts register 0.3% survivability for unarmoured personnel."

(when Ambulas uses its Electro-Mortars, variant) Frohd Bek: "Wonderful."

(when Ambulas uses its Electro-Mortars, variant) Frohd Bek: "That never gets boring."

(when Ambulas uses its Electro-Mortars, variant) Frohd Bek: "It's a thing of beauty, isn't it?"

(when an Ambulas kills a Tenno, variant) Frohd Bek: "Is there anything this proxy can't do?"

(when an Ambulas kills a Tenno, variant) Frohd Bek: "This is the future: Power. Precision. Prestige. The pinnacle of the war-smith's art."

(when an Ambulas kills a Tenno, variant) Frohd Bek: "Beautiful, is she not? And available. Merely open your accounts, dear investors, and introduce yourselves."

After the Ambulas' health had been depleted, it would be rendered disabled instead of totally destroyed. The Tenno had to hack a panel on the back of the disabled unit, similar to a Bursa, whereupon it would reactivate and fight for the Tenno for a short time.

(upon disabling an Ambulas, variant) Frohd Bek: "Don't just stand there; fix my Ambulas!"

(upon disabling an Ambulas, variant) Frohd Bek: "My Ambulas! What have they done to her? Fix this!"

(upon disabling an Ambulas, variant) Ergo Glast: "The Ambulas is down. Hack into its systems."

(upon disabling an Ambulas, variant) Ergo Glast: "This is your chance; hack into that disabled Ambulas."

(upon hacking an Ambulas, variant) Frohd Bek: "That's all for today. (whispers) Cut the feed."

(upon hacking an Ambulas, variant) Frohd Bek: "Oh! Uh… have I mentioned our round-the-clock support program?"

(upon hacking an Ambulas, variant) Frohd Bek: "Wait… wait, what are they doing? [pause] And— and that concludes our demonstration."

(upon hacking an Ambulas, variant) Frohd Bek: "Obviously, new technology always has its kinks. Wise investors, you understand this!"

Eventually, the Ambulas proxy would die, dropping a number of a new currency called Animo beacons. The number of beacons from a single Ambulas could be from 2 to 6, depending on its level.

(upon collecting Animo nav beacons, variant) Ergo Glast: "An Animo nav beacon! With enough of those, we'll be able to find where Bek is hiding Animo."

(upon collecting Animo nav beacons, variant) Ergo Glast: "That hack blocked the upload of critical tactical data to Animo, while simultaneously giving us a clue to its location. Well done."

In the Relays, Ergo Glast could be found in the Perrin Sequence Boardroom. Upon interacting with him, the Tenno could select the prompt, "I have Animo nav beacons", which would open up a store interface where Animo nav beacons could be exchanged for items. The wares Ergo Glast offered included Operation badges and sigils, an Ambulas noggle, and a variety of mods that were either new or not available by other means.

(upon displaying wares) Ergo Glast: "Taken down a few Ambulas in the wild, I see? Very impressive. Those beacons have much value for us. They hold clues to some of Bek's most secretive intellectual property. Information too valuable to be hoarded by one man. Allow me to copy them, and I will reward your generosity with a selection of fine items."

(exiting wares after purchase, variant) Ergo Glast: "The information you have given me today will help the whole System tomorrow."

(exiting wares after purchase, variant) Ergo Glast: "A mutually beneficial exchange – how all business should be done."

(exiting wares without purchase) Ergo Glast: "Good fortune, Tenno."

Phase Two: Showdown

The final fight of the operation was hidden until the Tenno's clan collected enough Animo beacons, with the number scaling based on the size of the clan, from 200 (no clan) to 31.800 (Moon clan). This number was the total amount of Animo beacons acquired, regardless of whether they had been spent or not. Once the clan had acquired the requisite number, all clan members received an inbox message from Ergo Glast.

Inbox message: Time to Take Our Fight to Bek

Tenno,

We have located Bek's Animo processor. Now we attack.

Ergo Glast (video message): "It seems my faith in you was well founded. You've reached the critical mass of Animo nav beacons needed to reveal the processor's location. Analysing… hmm, I should've known. He's not hiding it at all. It's in his capital ship. The ship is stationed directly over the Ambulas factory. Unbelievable. The most advanced super-weapon of our time, and he couldn't resist showing it off like a new toy. When you're ready, we attack."

—Ergo Glast

The mission was revealed to be on Hades, Pluto, and cost the Tenno 40 Animo nav beacons to enter. It took place on the Corpus Outpost tileset, with normal Corpus enemies.

Ergo Glast: "Frohd Bek, you're nothing if not predictable. I bet your advisors begged you to hide Animo somewhere defensible and undetectable? But you had to show it off, didn't you. As an investor, I must say, I don't approve."

Frohd Bek: "Glast? You're the shadow investor? You ingrate! You could have had everything. And now you seek to ruin your mentor's hard work?"

Ergo Glast: "Your hard work? I didn't design Animo to be a weapon. And I would have never disabled its governor."

Frohd Bek: "You always were clever, but you never did have vision."

Ergo Glast: "On the contrary, I envision this whole venture will come crashing down around you."

Frohd Bek: "Each Tenno attack on my Ambulas has been logged, analysed and refactored from our Animo Project. You've brought these Tenno to their deaths. A terrible miscalculation. You've learned nothing from me."

Ergo Glast: "Oh, I learned one thing, Bek: never underestimate the competition."

The Ambulas location is a large open space ringed by rocky mountains, with a cliff overlooking a lake. Corpus structures are built into the terrain around the arena, and Corpus units will emerge from them regularly to engage the Tenno. The central space features a series of metal platforms built into the ground. A massive Obelisk capital ship looms in the sky. As the Tenno enter the area, an Ambulas proxy will emerge from an underground compartment on one of the platforms, and a 2-minute timer will start counting down. The Tenno must disable the Ambulas, as before, and hack it.

(upon disabling an Ambulas, variant) Ergo Glast: "Quick, hack that disabled Ambulas and upload this protocol."

(upon disabling an Ambulas, variant) Ergo Glast: "Opportunity! Hack into that Ambulas and deploy this protocol."

(after hacking an Ambulas, variant) Frohd Bek: "Get a team down there to pick that Ambulas up. Don't let her go to waste."

(after hacking an Ambulas, variant) Frohd Bek: "Someone retrieve that Ambulas model before autodestruction kicks in. She can be refurbished."

(after hacking an Ambulas, variant) Frohd Bek: "Thanks to your investment, I can keep throwing Ambulas at the Tenno all day."

(after hacking an Ambulas, variant) Ergo Glast: "They're going to try and fix the hacked Ambulas. Don't let them. It's crucial that Bek takes it back onto his ship as-is."

(after hacking an Ambulas, variant) Ergo Glast: "Whatever you do, don't let them fix that Ambulas."

After the Ambulas has been hacked, it will not turn friendly, but remain inoperative. The Tenno must defend it, as Corpus units will attack, including special Remech Ospreys. If the Remech Ospreys get too close to the hacked Ambulas proxy, they will begin repairing it (visible as a cyan beam of energy). If they sufficiently repair the Ambulas, it will reactivate and begin fighting the Tenno again. The Tenno must destroy the Remech Ospreys to keep the Ambulas disabled. After the countdown finishes, a Condor Storm dropship will arrive from the Obelisk ship and retrieve the Ambulas by tractor beam, whether it was successfully hacked and inactivated or not.

(after the dropship retrieves a hacked Ambulas, variant) Frohd Bek: "You fools should have finished the job while you had the chance. That Ambulas will live to fight another day."

(after the dropship retrieves a hacked Ambulas, variant) Frohd Bek: "Glast, how are these Tenno going to finish me when they can't even end what they have begun?"

(if the dropship retrieves an untampered Ambulas, variant) Ergo Glast: "No, no! You need to hack the Ambulas before Bek recovers them. This is crucial to my plan's success."

(if the dropship retrieves an untampered Ambulas, variant) Ergo Glast: "Don't let Bek recover un-hacked Ambulas. This is the only way we can defeat him."

After the Condor Storm dropship delivers the Ambulas to Frohd's ship, another Ambulas proxy will spawn, and the 2-minute countdown to another Condor dropship will begin. The Tenno must overcome and hack this Ambulas unit as well. In all, the Tenno had to deliver four hacked Ambulas units to Frohd's ship, while ensuring that fewer than three untampered Ambulas units were recovered. Periodically, the Obelisk would deliver devastating artillery blasts and laser beams to the area.

(when firing artillery, variant) Frohd Bek: "Fire the artillery!"

(when firing artillery, variant) Frohd Bek: "Fire artillery. Scatter those stainless-steel rats!"

(after retrieving the second wave of Ambulas proxies) Frohd Bek: "Everything I own I built. Worked my way to the top of the Board from nothing. You? You create nothing! You earned nothing! You deserve nothing!"

(after retrieving the third wave of Ambulas proxies) Ergo Glast: "You made your fortune on the backs of others, Frohd. Your hard work is their hard work. You let the burdens rain down, while the credits trickle up."

(after retrieving the fourth wave of Ambulas proxies) Ergo Glast: "You could have rebuilt the system, Frohd; instead you've made death machines. What have they done for you?"

(if the dropship retrieves a third untampered Ambulas) Frohd Bek: "We could do this dance all day long, Tenno, but you'll never defeat my Ambulas army. Now you're just wasting my time. Give my regards to Glast." [mission fails]

(upon delivering the fifth hacked Ambulas) Ergo Glast: "All we need is one more Ambulas to be returned to the dropship."

(upon delivering the sixth hacked Ambulas) Ergo Glast: "You're done, Frohd. This ends now."

Frohd Bek: "Throw everything at them. They will not take this away from me. They will not win. They've not earned it."

The Obelisk capital ship in the sky will fire its engines and begin turning away from the battlefield, heading away.

Ergo Glast: "I know this for certain, Frohd: you've earned this. I'm sorry, Animo. Execute the protocol!"

Explosions will break out all across the Obelisk and the hull will begin to glow red.

Frohd Bek: "What was that? My ship? Ahh… eject the bridge module. Eject it now!!!"

The capital ship will explode and disintegrate, leaving Frohd's fate ambiguous.

Ergo Glast: "Animo… once my pride and joy, has been destroyed. I abandoned the project when I fled the Corpus. I should have known it was too powerful to leave in their hands. The Ambulas proxies still exist, and they are no doubt formidable, but the threat of their super-intelligence is now gone. Thank you, Tenno."

After returning to their ship, the Tenno received another inbox message from Ergo Glast, containing a Supra Vandal.

Inbox message: Animo Has Been Destroyed

Tenno,

Frohd Bek bastardised my work. The Animo system was explicitly designed to resolve conflict, not initiate it. In weaponising the system, he forced my hand. The Animo processor had to be destroyed.

You put yourself at great risk to stop that threat. The Perrin Sequence thanks you and hopes you find this weapon to be just compensation.

Until our next venture, Ergo Glast

Rewards

Apart from the Supra Vandal, all rewards from the event were purchased from Ergo Glast using Animo nav beacons, including the Operation badge and sigil. These rewards could be purchased as many times as the Tenno could afford. The more Ambulas proxies were defeated in the field, the more rewards a Tenno could purchase.

The warlord of a participating clan received an inbox message from Ergo Glast containing a trophy to place in the dojo, with the quality of the trophy dependant on the clanmembers' achievements in the operation.

Inbox message: Recognition for [clan]

[clan],

Owing to your overwhelming effort in taking down Frohd Bek's Ambulas and its Animo processor, the Perrin Sequence and I would like to present [clan] with this trophy.

We could not have won without your tireless fight.

Thank you, Ergo Glast

Aftermath

After the event, Condor dropships would still appear on open-air Corpus zones, but would not drop Ambulas proxies except on Pluto. The boss fight against Frohd Bek's capital ship still remained at Hades, Pluto, although the cost was later lowered to 20 Animo beacons, 10 of which are refunded on successful completion. Variants of Condor dropships would later appear on the Orb Vallis and Gas City.

The Three Time Fives Was A Goofball & The One Time It Got Him A Date

Using prompts from a list I reblogged earlier on my main. prompts from: @countlessimagines

1.) “Your suits on fire.” “Are you calling me hot?” “Real fire, idiot, real fire!”

You didn’t know how he managed these things. You had seen Rex walk through fire and brimstone and come out with a few scorch marks at most, but you had never seen armor actual burn before. But, Fives managed it.

In the middle of a battle, a droid had thrown a low-power grenade behind your cover where you were hiding with Fives, Echo, and Kix. All three of them instinctively shouted, “Grenade! Get down!”

They all shouted, but Fives was the one that grabbed you and shielded you from the blast. You had to admit, even for such a small blast that thing could put off some heat. When you finally looked out of the protective cocoon Fives had wrapped you in, you could see flames sprouting on his Kama. You scrambled out from under him ignoring his weird looks. Beneath his helmet, Fives scowled, “A thank you is in order, I think.”

“Your suit is on fire.” You shot back, wide eyes watching the growing flame on his Kama that the Arc trooper was oblivious to. You could see his chest puff out and you knew that under his helmet he was smirking.

“Are you calling me hot? In this old thing?” He asked, gesturing up and down to his scuffed up armor. Shaking your head vehemently, you pointed a shaking finger at the smoking fire growing on his ass.

“Real fire, Idiot,” You shouted, “Real fire!”

Anything else was drowned out as he finally looked at his now flaming backside and curses started spilling from his mouth. Echo and Kix were shouting at him to stop, drop, and roll, trying not to laugh at him.

Later, Echo was chiding him as they cleaned their weapons, “ “Are you calling me hot? In this old thing?” Really Fives?”

2.) “I think I broke my foot!” “How the hell did you break it?”

Being a medic was amazing. Helping people, front row seat to the action- you loved it. The only drawback? Piles and Piles of paper work. You swore that if a trooper got a paper cut, you had to fill out a form for it. You had been at it for hours, and at that point, you were begging the force for someone to hurt themselves and at least distract you from your hell hole of paperwork.

As soon as the thought had crossed your mind, the med-bay doors swished open- revealing Echo halfway supporting Fives. I should be careful what I wish for, you thought as you rushed to help the Arc trooper duo. Throwing a smirk up to your most frequent patient, you asked, “Fives, were you trying to drink caf and walk at the same time again?”

He just loudly groaned and threw his head back, “I think I broke my foot!”

You could of swore you heard Echo mutter something along the lines of, ‘oh, sure you did, poor thing.’ You frowned at him, quickly kneeling down to start removing bits of leg armor, “How the hell did you break it?”

Fives opened his mouth right as you got down to his blacks, but as soon as he did, your holo-comm beeped. Holding up a finger to shush him, you got up and answered the call. Smiling when a small, blue hologram of Captain Rex Poppe up, you ignored the ‘agonizing’ trooper behind you.

“(Y/L/N), we need to speak with you on the- sorry, were you in the middle of something?” Rex inquired. You shook your head, seeing Kix enter out of the corner of your eye.

“Nothing that Kix can’t handle without me. I’m on my way, sir.” You answered. The Captain nodded as his hologram fizzled out, and you turned to your fellow medic. After he nodded, you hurriedly left as he walked over to his ‘injured’ brother and socked him in the shoulder.

Waving off his whiny ‘ow’, Kix rolled his eyes, “Really, Fives? Faking a broken foot to see her? What was the plan for when she actually examined you and found out you were lying?”

“You know, I hadn’t got that far yet.” Fives shrugged, cheeks red as he clipped his armor back into place.

“Brother, there are faster ways to a woman’s heart- and none of them start with her having to hold your nasty feet.” Kix laughed, ignoring Fives’ middle finger as the Arc trooper left the med-bay.

3.) Not a prompt, but essentially, the universe has it out for Five’s love life.

Fives was tired of these elaborate plans and goofy lines, and he decided to just be sincere and get you a cup of caf since you had the graveyard shift in the med-bay. But, then he had an idea. He’d write a cute little joke on your cup and make a fancy coffee concoction. (He couldn’t take all the credit, he’d heard an engineer from the 212th talk about it in passing last time they’d fought a battle with the 501st.) So, that’s what he did. He mixed the creamer at the back of the fridge (the only one left) and (what he thought was) sugar at the caf bar until it looked somewhat like a latte. Then grabbing a marker, he inscribed ‘I like you a-latte.” on the side. Deciding his masterpiece was complete, he popped a lid on it and made his way to see you.

Once he found you, he struck up a light conversation before handing the cup over. Butterflies, raging in his stomach as he handed it over to you. You smiled gratefully, “Fives, you’re so sweet!”

He smiled back, opening his mouth to tell you about the joke you missed, but as you tipped the drink back he saw that his sweaty hands (he was nervous, ok?) had rubbed his endearment off. In his thoughts, he missed the face you pulled after taking a sip. He tried to play it off, “Is it at least a good cup of caf?”

As he asked you tried stomaching another sip to be nice, but every sip made your stomach turn more. You tried nodding, but the motion starting bring it back up. “Oh, force.” You whispered as you bolted for the trashcan and threw your dinner back up.

“Oh, kriff, (Y/N), I’m so sorry!” He exclaimed, holding your hair back as a med-droid came to see what all the ruckus was. Five minutes later, the med-droid had ushered you into containment, and a cleaning crew to your trashcan. Fives waited anxiously for the droid to explain.

“Is (Y/N) going to be ok?” He asked, mentally beating himself up as the droid’s optics narrowed on him.

“The combination of expired dairy and excessive amount of salt, caused digestive distress. She will be fine, but regulations state that any crew member who vomits must be sequestered for at least 24 hours, or until symptoms disappear.” With the explanation, the droid turned and left.

Recounting his struggles to Echo later, he groaned and slammed his head on the wall behind him, “So basically, I’ve poisoned her, and if I didn’t feel so bad, then I’d worry about the fact she probably hates me.”

Echo just laughed, and pat his brothers back. Fives deadpanned to him, “And who the hell leaves expired dairy in the fridge and puts salt at the caf station?!”

1.) “It’s almost like you love me, or something... wait, do you love me?!” “No...yes...shut up.”

Fives had been acting weird for weeks now, and you had had enough. You wanted your best friend back, and honestly whatever had gotten into his was posing a threat to your health. You shuddered thinking of the coffee incident. It took a while to find him- he had been avoiding you since his coffee effectively poisoned you. Finally, with some help from Echo, you were able to corner him in the mess hall.

“Ok, Fives, out with it. What the hell is wrong?” You breathed out, crossing your arms over your chest. His cheeks immediately reddened and he tensed up.

“I don’t...I.. what do you mean?” He stuttered having a moment of uncharacteristic shyness, backing away slightly, trying to hide his higher pitch with a chuckle.

“The one-liners, the faking injuries, making me hurl... Is this some kind of prank war that I didn’t know about?” You elaborated.

“Oh, yeah, sorry about that last one...” He sighed, scratching the back of his neck. You tried to stay mad at him, but its hard when he’s being that cute.

“I mean, it’s almost like you love me, or something...” You laughed, but suddenly it clicked, “Wait, do you love me?!”

Every alarm was ringing in Fives’ head, “What? no! yes.. Shut up.”

Ending with a groan and you with a victorious smile, you tip toed to peck his cheek. “I love you too.”

Walking away, you threw an offer over your shoulder, “If you go back to being yourself, we can go on a date- anything but coffee.”

With your back turned, you couldn't see his bright smile as he watched you leave. And once you exited the mess hall, he fist pumped and whooped and hollered. (Fortunately, not many people were eating at the time). Turning to his partner, he yelled, “Did you hear that Echo? Anything but coffee!”

This was cute in my head, but yikes does it read worse than my early wattpad days... I’m rusty and I might delete this later.

Why did you guys delete that post abput aphobes seeing ace people in public?? It was amazing ?? Dont tell me ur of THOSE ace pages which are like "uwu no drama only humor on this page uwu" when ur fellow ace people are suffering and being harassed by aphobes . I get that you dont post the ace discourse stuff bc all aces don't consider themselves lgbt but ignoring aphobia is ignorant. I'm gonna ask mod lilac about this too. This is one of my fav blogs here & i want u guys to be on our side

Ok. I’m tired of getting shit from various people for this. 1. Yes I am one of those “no drama on my blog” types and I’ve been pretty open about that.

You think I haven’t experienced harassment? Do you think I haven’t suffered? You, random internet STRANGER have no right to judge me for not standing up on every aspect of my social media for this.

When I first started going online, and looking at things about asexuality and talking to people about asexuality, I got so much shit.

I have had “you need to be fixed” conversations, real and online.

I have had rape threats.

I have had someone tell me I should be locked up for 50 years until I pick a side.

I have had people’s misconceptions about asexuality and lack of interest in learning anything new strongly negatively affect all kinds of relationships I’ve had with other people.

How DARE you call me ignorant. Do you seriously think I don’t know this shit exists?

2. The Unfuckables is an ESCAPE. Not just for those who visit it, but for me. I want to actively avoid all the toxic bullshit that comes with anything to do with tumblr’s “discourse” and that means I don’t want to be reminded about aphobia in one of the few fucking things I do to relax.

For the record, in both the LGBT and Asexual community I’ve gotten shit too.

numerous people outing me or pressuring me to out myself for various reasons, from forgetting, to considering my decision not to out myself to people I didn’t know well “immoral”.

I’ve been chewed out for not wanting to march in a parade the first time I went to pride.

I’ve been told I’m a bad person for not wanting to go to pride with a sign saying asexuals have sex too, because I didn’t want to have a bunch of strangers know about my sex life. Or be asked, by strangers, about my sexual experiences.

Online, there’s alot of name-calling and negativity on both sides of the discourse. Theres also alot of exclusionist stuff within the asexual community. As well as a bunch of things that make me feel alienated from it because I’m not a “model ace”.

I’m sorry you have an issue with how I want to be support myself and be happy about my sexuality and have ONE space where I don’t have to fucking deal with everyone else’s bullshit.

I also never would have let that post be made if I had seen it sooner. Because of people like you who can’t just let me be happy on my own terms because I’m not making a statement with the tumblr… where I reblog memes….

I just want to say thank you to your post. I am sad yet happy that I'm not the only one. I've actually received death threats and have been kicked out of groups, discord. Called a homophobic, yet I'm queer, cause I will honestly ship shiro with anyone. Be it fellow palidins/adam/reader/water bottle from episode2. He's still REALLY cool. If you're going to stay, I will too. I can't believe people are willing to hurt and haze REAL people over a show. What kind of fandom are we trying to become?

Thank you for your response. At first, I was really scared to post that because I haven’t really stated that I ship Shaladin.

I didn’t want the hate. This fandom is really scary at times but I’m not going to give up just because some unknown person tells me I’m a pedophile and I should die. Yes, these threats hurt, but I know that these people don’t actually know me and can’t get to me. That’s why I don’t reveal my normal Tumblr account.

And, I’m not afraid to ship it anymore. If people are going to hate, let them. But if people send me and Spring hate, they will be blocked.

I want to look through the Shaladin tag and find positive things, not hate. That’s why I’m taking requests for it. ~Mod James

Can you write more things about elf!hawke? Maybe how their companions would react to them being an elf? Your other writings about different races Hawke were so good!!

Another ask:

Hello! I know you’re probably super busy with all the asks that you get, and sorry if this is bothering you, but would you mind writing some more Elf Hawke headcannons? My little sister really loves elf Hawke after I modded her game for her and she’s been going through some tough times lately and I thought it might cheer her up. Thank you ❤️

(I used Eva Hawke for the purpose of writing these. Kinda turned into the companions’ first impressions all together?)

Aveline is surprised when a bolt of magic lightning flies over her shoulder and into the darkspawn that she had locked swords with. Not just because of the spell, but the elven girl that cast it. A family of elves, fleeing Lothering, just as she and Wesley were. The young man practically flies at the hoard with a sword as big as him; she is impressed with his footwork, albeit clearly self-taught, not unlike the girl next to the mage holding her bow in an unusual manor, but getting the job done nonetheless. And the two almost looked familiar… Were they at Ostagar? No. Couldn’t be. The blighted creatures are defeated by the time the oldest looking and what must be their mother approached. She hadn’t seen many elves in Lothering, and most definitely would have noticed a group carrying weapons. That was illegal. Even more so was the obvious apostate among them.“Apostate! Keep your distance,” her husband said, standing with effort.If the mage girl was at all afraid, she didn’t show it. Instead, she looked annoyed. No, annoyed wasn’t right. Defeated. “Well the Maker has a sense of humour. Darkspawn, and now a templar. I thought they all abandoned Lothering.”But while her husband responded by staring down the rogue that jumped to the mage’s defence, and Aveline kept him steady on his feet, she knew already that apostate or no, armed elves or no, if they got this far, perhaps they were just what she and Wesley needed to keep going. With the darkspawn around, the more to fight the better.

Varric of course spots the elves right away. There weren’t many nonhumans walking around Hightown. (Of course Bartrand’s yelling certainly helped draw attention, too.) He was supposed to meet his brother outside the Viscount’s Keep, but on a list of places he wants to be, that’s pretty near the bottom. He was about to head to the Hanged Man when in passing the two elves, he sees it: A gentle smile followed by a warm laugh. He overhears the one girl’s distress about templars. She has a baby face, even for elf standards. The other girl, the one with the bow on her back calms her down in a chiming voice that sounds much more hollow than it should be. The one elf slaps her hand on the girl’s shoulder in a manner he assumes a loving sibling might do.A spark. Varric Tethras is a renowned writer, but he likes to think he’s pretty damn good at reading, too. People, that is. And that elf has the makings of a wonderful story. And when he sees the pathetically unskilled pickpocket run by and swipe her sack of coins, he also sees the perfect opportunity to introduce himself into it.

Anders grabs his staff in preparation for a fight upon hearing a group of footsteps approach, but is instantly relieved to see instead of templars, two elves and a dwarf. This is no threat, he assures himself, but is not truly calmed until he senses the magic in the elf hovering behind the one in lead. A fellow mage then, outside the Circle. He is more interested in talking with her, but the one with the bow takes the lead in conversation.She’s not like the other elves he’s known. The ones in the Circle were always so sad, and Velanna, well, she was Velanna. What makes this elf so cheerful? She’s dressed in clothes in even worse shape than his own. The grip on her shoddy looking bow is covered in tape. When she moves her hands as she talks, he notices they are full of cuts and bruises, indistinguishable between ones she’s done to herself and otherwise. Yet she has a calming smile on her face. It almost doesn’t feel right. How can she be happy?He resists the urge to groan when she asks about the Deep Roads. But then it occurs to him, perhaps this is an opportunity he shouldn’t turn down. Karl will be waiting for him, and he isn’t sure what to expect. And surely the elven mage would understand. Yes, he will help them, if they help him first.

Merrill is too busy observing the shine in her mirror fragment to hear those who approach her, until they are right at her back. She quickly tucks it away and turns to see who it is the Keeper has been waiting for. The two fellow elves in front are very clearly city-born, with no vallaslin and no fear of the humans they travel with, the ones that make the back of her neck feel tingly. It’s a feeling she knows she needs to get rid of, if she really is going to the city. She can be like them, she can. She has to.It occurs to her that she is supposed to greet them now, oh, yes. Merrill supposes she does it appropriately too, as the elf with pretty blue eyes is all smiles when she says the elven words of welcome. Will they see her goal, she wonders? It’s so unclear how much their city brothers and sisters know and don’t know, but if her own clan will not, should she have any expectation from them? But oh, she is supposed to lead them up the mountain right now. She will do that, then. Remember to speak. She feels at much more ease, now.

Isabela notices the elven woman entering the Hanged Man, and is instantly aware of what everyone else sees: fresh meat. Either she’s new around here, or she’s incredibly brave. The world isn’t kind to women. The world isn’t kind to elves, either. She sighs and finishes her ale with another chug, and approaches the elf. Pretends to be better than she is.“You’re new around here, aren’t you? Welcome, and keep your wits about you. You’re nothing but tits and ass to the men in this place, and they won’t hesitate to grab at both.” It’s a warning a good person might give.“Thanks for the advice,” the elf says with an awkward laugh that makes Isabela realize she is fully aware of the danger she’s in. Probably always is. And yet she walks face first into it anyway. An admirable woman. Hmm.Isabela breezes through introductions as the elf is joined by two more, one with those Dalish tattoos, and a human mage she could swear she’s seen before. Yes, they look more than capable help, and the last thing Hayder will be expecting is a band elves to have her back. Hawke, as she calls herself, agrees without asking questions, and Isabela is liking her more and more. She gets the feeling Hawke will be a good acquaintance to have.

Fenris doesn’t understand, and can’t help but feel annoyance when she shows him pity. He doesn’t want pity, not from her, not from anyone. The elves outside Tevinter, they’re different. They have their suffering, but they don’t understand, can’t understand. But when she quickly offers her aid before he even asks for it, he wonders if it is not pity, but sympathy.She doesn’t understand, can’t understand, but perhaps she does more than the redheaded human behind her, looking thoroughly disturbed by him having ripped a man’s heart out.He wonders if he should show a sign of kinship, but isn’t sure how. So he doesn’t. Instead he thinks of how he might be able to repay her for the help she offers. That he understands.

Sebastian isn’t sure what he’s more surprised about: That the Grand Cleric didn’t immediately take his notice offering coin to whomever brought justice to his family, or that it is a band of elves that approaches him, claiming to have succeeded, one of whom clearly of the Dalish folk.He thanks them profusely with both word and coin, the lot of which makes the obvious leader go wide-eyed. He remembers that gold isn’t so easy to come by for most. He wonders why they don’t come to the Chantry for help. Surely Elthina would assist the elves if they needed it. He remembers to ask for a name. Hawke, she says. Like the bird. Were he his former self, he might have made a flirtatious joke out of that, but such behaviour would not be appropriate for a brother of the Chantry. He settles on bidding Hawke farewell, both hoping and doubting it won’t be the last he sees of her.
