Hello everyone! Mage of Light Nick Card here. Been picking a lot of cherries lately! Let’s get to the news.> I brought you an Aspear Berry Slush -PMmmm, tastey. Thank you!Strange Dreams of an AbsolutionLast night, our dutiful paper delivery tem Larkspur Emit, reportedly had a significant dreambubble dream. Apparently they had swapped places with Chronocorp Weapons Owner Darkspur Emit, both of them in an unemployment office for some reason. Lark reportedly did not have the strength to stand in line, while Dark spent their time admiring their newfound head of hair, freaking out over the occasion, and throwing a banana that ended up throwing the entire place into a cascading chaos.> So I had a quick convo over Tumblr about this and I think Lark has a bit more empathy for Darkspur’s situation now -PI can imagine so, having to step into the shoes of a cancer patient and all.> Reportedly, it was some anon antics. Will the antics of the scurrilous tumblr anons ever cease? -PAt this rate, it might wind up being a pattern, having happened 2 weeks in a row.Bent Hive Celebrations?Today, on 6/12, is Karkat Vantas’s wriggling day.> The Homestuck team have celebrated by adding the Hiveswap Act 3 page to Steam! No confirmed release date, but I do have this quote: “Joey has survived evil clowns and an explosive train crash, but the only refuge from Alternia’s deadly sun is deep underground. Point-and-click your way through ancient ruins, confounding puzzles and the horrors of the dark to help our plucky teen adventurer make it home to Earth in one piece.” and they have added nine entire pictures and a demo! -PAh nice! I stopped playing hiveswap in early act 1 because I got overwhelmed with the maximalist approach to the half-harley manor. I hope folks who are still anticipating act 3 get a good episode to sink their (various shaped -P) teeth into.Trans Pride!Early this week, S-Tech Solutions Ltd. Founder and CEO, Gray Aerian began seriously questioning his gender. Prince of Time Aeons Edgeworth offered some cryptic assistance over the memo to help Gray confront increasingly pressing feelings.> Like the feeling of an awakened gender while looking at a pride flag? -PApparently! Anyhow, the others in the memo gave their support and after a while, Gray confirmed something: they are transgender, and their gender is prone to biting… apparently.> :? -PAll I can gather is uh… you may want to watch out, especially if you misgender them in the present tense.> I’m seeing something about “The taste of eldritch gender blood”???? -PRegardless, no matter how incomprehensible somebody’s gender may be, it is everyone’s duty to respect it. Something I can get behind as an enby, albeit of a less eldritch flavor.A very revealing discussion> So, I had a discussion the other day that really cleared something up about the way I am -POh?> It boils down to this: Ironways wound up becoming a miniature version of Korous when I was living there. And we freed the city, from its version of The Voice -PHuh… That’s an interesting perspective… Especially considering that Ironways was originally ran by Thoren Emit.> See, the trouble, at least the one I’m dealing with, started AFTER Thoren left, a power vacuum existed, which got taken by one Twelvinus. Who was basically like, a Mini-Voice. Obsessed with tradition, and kept everyone in line with fear, and after The Crane Incident (See the USB stick I just handed you), Twelvinus got humiliated, and the people took him out of power. -P> I see it as finally being able to take down The Voice, like I always wanted -PAh, okay. And by “mini-voice” you mean…? > Like the Voice of Time, but not as powerful and not as… Everywhere, if that makes sense -PThat makes sense, yeah. I assume 12 only had as much reach as The Grand Network would allow him to have.> Exactly, and I made sure that said reach was. nonexistent. -PAccording to in-town sources, Twelvinus is currently a laughingstock in Ironways, and has lost most of the respect that he was once given as a councilmember. The other three cardinal council members have taken a much more moderate approach, though it is unknown if they were already like that or if they were scared by the display.> All according to Keikaku. -P> (Keikaku means plan -P)> All of this leads to the realization about myself: I don’t need to be a tryhard or needlessly cool to be a badass. I just have to be myself, and to actively do the right thing -PI’m proud of you, Pythen.> c:< -PClassified adsOrange Roof Zine is accepting article submissions!
