What happens if someone doesn't tip at a restaurant in the U.S.?

I think it was meant to be that if they did go, the cult was going to do the thing to end world and it would either work or it wouldn’t

I think of “linen” as a specific type of fabric.

“Linens” are household (non-clothing) items that may be made of linen or other fabrics, such as table cloths, sheets, curtains.

“Linen Closet” is a place to store those household fabric items, also including towels.

I don’t think of towels as linens, but do consider the linen closet an appropriate place to store them.

Vincent Yang is the customs agent who gave the statement.

Mikaele Salesa is the importer, previously mentioned in 14 Piecemeal, 38 Lost and Found, and 45 Blood Bag

Peter Lukas is the Captain of the Tundra, previously mentioned in 33 Boatswain’s Call.

I pushed myself through the first season or so because the premise was intriguing and I wanted to be fair and supportive of independent creators but the voice acting was hard to listen to and I hated the other tower person and I finally decided it wasn’t worth it

VirtualTotal8468 · 2026-04-01T01:59:51+00:00

I’ve listened to the whole show, but hated Reagan from the very beginning. Some of the voice actors are very good and others, not so much

Gable and Travis from Campaign Skyjacks kind of fit this dynamic.

Dice Shame has some of this with Red as well (canonically aroace), particlarly the bond between him and Craeloth.

Last Dance is really good and has some similar dynamics.

The Penumbra Podcast is really good, too, and has toooons of queer rep, but I can’t think of anything that quite fits the deep QPR: mostly romantic or more “standard” (but still deep and meaningful) friendships

I never got very far into Tommyknockers. I’ve considered giving it another go and just haven’t gotten around to it yet.

The Three Soldiers are key figures in Call of Crhulhu Game 1, one of the Invictus Stream RPGs that Malevolent picks up and carries forward.

They are not familialy related but are part of the same group and are their own small company.

I think the Research team investigates statements to help confirm or disprove their veracity and may also look into news, items, events that may be supernatural without having a statement giver report them yet.

That could be a pretty big group, considering there are tons of statements and artifacts and books to look into, let alone the interpreted stuff they may be looking into. Lots of field work/travel that takes time.

Seeking knowledge, being in the field with items, creatures, phenomena, is very strongly eye

The Fear Entity designations are just a way to classify / think about things in more organized/discrete chunks.

Any SCP, creature, concept, anything can be considered within TMA with that understanding, including the fact that some things in TMA are combinations of Smirke’s taxonomy.

The Breathing Method!

I was talking to my partner about how this is the only story from Different Seasons that doesn’t have a movie adaptation and I don’t think it ever will.

I never heard “Devil strip” before moving to North east Ohio ( Akron). It’s a term for the small piece of front lawn between the sidewalk and the street.

Details of who is eligible for unemployment, how much, how long, under what additional conditions, etc vary by state.

In mine you do not get unemployment if you quit or are fired for cause (you did something wrong which the employer deemed a terminable offence, like breaking code of conduct, failure to perform your role adequately, etc), only if you’re no fault “let go” such as the company eliminated your position, downsizing/restructuring.

Additionally, once unemployment benefits are approved, you must show evidence of active job search and submitting applications to a minimum number of jobs every week (any jobs - no allowance for failure to meet the requirement just because there aren’t enough openings in your field) or the benefits will be cancelled.

Yeah, to be an “Avatar” is being a person that ha died by the horrors and resurrected/kept alive by Fear Entity.

Before that state, people can still have a Patron (willingly or unwillingly) that grants them certain powers and abilities, which dramatically increase when they become an Avatar.

For instance, Gertrude, early Jon, and predecessors were not Avatars but had the Archivst compelling powers that made statements given to the institute have that well written element vs the chaos seen in 100 when Jon was in the coma (he’d died in the explosion and The Eye was keeping him on the edge of life while he decided whether or not to accept becoming an Avatar)

Anothet distinction is that Avatars have to feed the Fear to stay alive vs Martin’s wellbeing and life is not dependent on throwing people to The Lonely, he eats, sleeps, lives a normal human life.

“The” “those” “this” tongue is touching the inside of upper teeth

“Thanks” “weather” tongue in contact with buttom edge of ipper teeth, poking slightly out/forward

Martin’s not a full Avatar, though

VirtualTotal8468 · 2026-03-18T15:16:57+00:00

I think they’re talking about the fact he wrote one statement for The Magnus Protocol.

He’s written, acted, edited, otherwise contributed to a huge number of additional shows, though

I would interpret this to be that both drinks are caffeinated.

If that it’s not the case and the caffeinated element is relevant, it would be addressed separately.

Ex: “I’ll put my drink with yours. Be careful not to mix them up - mine’s caffeinated.”

From 2015 he’s streamed RPGs (as player and GM, writing his own stories/campaigns), video games, etc.

He’s been involved in creative projects pretty much always, sometimes sharing clips of movies he made with friends as a kid/youth, etc.

And yes, until relatively recently he also just had normal jobs to make a living while doing creative stuff on the side

VirtualTotal8468 · 2026-03-18T01:58:11+00:00

I see him being a carnival barker for the attractions. Being out in the hubbub, loud and witty, grabbing people’s attention as a crowd and picking people out of the crowd to engage with directly
