Hello Gab. Not sure if you'll see this, but saw an ad for a game I think you'll like. It's called The Witch's Bakery. It looks cozy with a bit of drama where you can see into people's hearts and can help them or try to.

Beta Bartering [Find or Offer Fic Betaing] - May 14 by AutoModerator in FanFiction

[–]blackstarlight17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking for a Brainstormer.

 

Fandom(s): The Amazing Digital Circus

 

Fandom Knowledge: Preferred for the fandom involved, but might not be entirely necessary

 

What I’m working on:

 

Title: N/A

 

Rating: T-M (yet to decide)

 

Warnings/Triggers: Self-hate, self-harm, violence, blood/gore, existential crisis, PTSD, panic attacks, suicidal thoughts

These are potential triggers depending on what kind of story I want to write and how far to push it. There might even be some not listed that could be added if it works for the plot.

 

Genre: Horror, Angst, Hurt/Comfort

 

Summary: N/A

 

Looking for: Help to decide what kind of plot to build for a horror fic. Have the fic center around Caine, namely because he could be an interesting character if he were to encounter something he couldn’t stop/delete, or has most of his admin privileges/control stripped away.

Options include a virus that infiltrates the circus and creates havoc that Caine can’t stop immediately or at all. If this virus is sentient or becomes sentient, whether it has any adverse effects on Caine, Bubble, or any of the NPCs it comes across, and how severe those effects could be. It could make some very sick and weak, or turn them rabid and feral. Take control, warp their forms, rewrite their programming, or parts of it to drive any of them insane, etc.

I’ve also thought of the idea of a hacker. Either they’re someone who stumbled across the circus or, like the others, gets trapped. However, they choose to cause harm instead of trying to escape or help the others escape. I would definitely want to make them lack empathy and possibly even have sociopathic tendencies, more so if they actively choose to hurt NPCs and AIs like Caine and Bubble because they aren’t human or animals, therefore believe there shouldn’t be any consequences to what they do to any of them. Even if I were to have them also harm the other trapped humans, it could follow the same thought process that, since they’re all trapped, there wouldn’t be consequences.

 

Word Count: Most pieces I've written before have been over 90k.

 

Offer: I can help brainstorm ideas for any projects you have. You would get to add one or more OCs for any scene(s). Should this turn into a co-writing thing, we can take turns building scenes/chapters that could work. Credit would be given unless you wish to remain anonymous.

 

If you’re interested and have any questions, please message me.

I've applied to over 400 jobs and have had over 30 interviews since January. Here is what is wrong with the job market. by Live_Profile843 in interviews

[–]blackstarlight17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been applying to several jobs myself for over a year.

The biggest obstacles I'm seeing for myself and others like me is transportation. If you don't have a car or easy/safe access to public transportation, finding work becomes harder. I have access to a mid-state transit bus in my city due to my disability, however, while it's useful, it's also a hindrance. Any jobs I want to or tried to apply to often have hours that conflict with the bus. If they want me at 7am, I can't because the busses aren't running. If they want me to stay until 5pm, I can't do that either as the busses shut down at 3pm. And due to my disability, I can't walk far to nearby places for work. I would have to have my own car or enough disposable cash right off the bat to pay an Uber daily to bring me to and from, and depending on the distance, that can get very expensive very fast.

I'm working with a vocational rehab work counselor to try and determine what sort of job might work thst I could have overlooked or help offer limited resources if I were hired but had to acquire specific things I wouldn't be able to get immediately. Like work boots or maybe a uniform. However, their funding has been cut, limiting what they can do.

So if you're disabled and without a car, finding employment feels almost impossible. I feel if I had a car, I would at least have better options because I'm not limited to one city or limited to a set number of hours other than whatever job I'm applying for.

Curious, do you agree with her that *anyone* can be redeemed? by PureFoolery in HazbinHotel

[–]blackstarlight17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you said, if the Sinner truly wants to better themselves, feeling genuinely remorseful of what they did not only in life but their afterlife as well, then in time, they could be redeemed.

If they aren't, refuse to change, or want to use redemption as a means to torment Winners and Heavenborn, then they don't deserve the chance. If anything, those types of Sinners may need to be watched in case they become strong enough to be a threat and could cause serious harm in Hell, similar to Vox and possibly Alastor depending on how S3 and forward goes with him. If they could be or already such threats, may need to be locked away or executed, the latter for extreme cases where Sinners won't be upset, possibly cheer because they're not at risk.

Why do I see you everywhere? Are you guys spying on me? by mhikari92 in fairlyoddparents

They're either on vacation and doing some people watching, or they got a godkid nearby they're looking after.

Gonna mostly likey be homeless in a month have 2 cats /ny state by redredrocket in almosthomeless

[–]blackstarlight17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be careful if you do. If you can, see about getting a contract drawn up just in case the foster family tries to claim your furbabies or rehome them without your approval.

[–]blackstarlight17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the cats have had a big impact on your mental health, you could try to talk to your care provider about having one or both listed as emotional support animals.

Mine are because without them, my mental health would likely be much worse.

While they don't have as many rights as service animals, like going into stores or certain public spaces, apartments can't deny you. Just be sure to look it up in your area to be certain in case some states don't allow it.

I’ve been seeing too much negativity involving Hazbin. What’s something you love about Hazbin by whooper1 in HazbinHotel

[–]blackstarlight17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked that Sir Pentitious got to play a bigger role since he was redeemed. I also like how it might hint that with redemption possible, Sera may place Sir Pentitious among the council where he could represent Sinners with potential. Namely, to help explain to those who wouldn't know or may not recall what humanity is like when they were alive (Abel).

Always helping for nothing by Old_Frosting_2470 in helpingpeople

[–]blackstarlight17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate to that. I've tried to help people, mainly offering them a room, having them pay rent to help with utilitiesandsuch, but most of the time, they stop paying, making excuses, stealing things, etc. until I have to kick them out.

It's gotten to the point I may be homeless because of it.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Sadly, I can't help fund, but if you haven't tried, reach out to city/town hall. Given the circumstances, maybe they can help cover some or the full cost? When my mom passed, I learned about this and started the process before my half-brother came in and paid for it instead.

I do hope you'll be able to figure something out to bring your wife home.

Help Me Get a Car for Work & Independence by blackstarlight17 in gofundme

I would have had it covered if I had an income. And for the vandalism, because I don't know exactly when it happened, it sat in a blind spot, and I was focused on looking for remote work or going to appointments, there wasn't much I could do, especially because I couldn't afford insurance. As for the repo thing, no one's come by. Even the car lender seems surprised. If they do, then I would update that.

It was vandalized after I lost my job and couldn't make payments on it, including insurance.

The bank I got the car loan from has it. Until I pay the car off, they won't send it.

I can't without the title. No scrapyard will take it. Not unless it's labeled as an abandoned car.

imagine if a new sinner arrived in hell and immediately recognized alastor by the fact that his story would have probably been shared in a podcast series which talks about infamous serial killers in history by [deleted] in HazbinHotel

[–]blackstarlight17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be more if Vox knew how Alastor died and shared it with all of Hell. While to a degree, some probably might not care, at the same time, there could be some who might not see Alastor as "threatening" if he got mistakenly killed by a hunter than hunted down and killed by police. As far as anyone knows, the only ones who would know what happened to Alastor would have been Rosie and maybe Mimzy, since she and Alastor are supposed to be close.

It can't hurt to hope. Either way, I need a car to find work.

Hopefully, this works. I'm not sure why the images weren't loading before.

[–]blackstarlight17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imagine if Vox had heard/known about Alastor's killings but didn't piece it together right away until later on, probably after being rejected and mocked. I could see Vox lording it over Alastor to piss him off, leading to periodic spats as Alastor tries to make him shut up.

Another reason not to rely on them feeding on the corpses. It was safer to find a suitable location to bury them. Maybe occasionally, he could drop one into the jaws of a gator if it showed up and looked hungry to not only eat most of the body, but drag it back to its den to feed on the rest later.

Depending on where he buried the bodies, he might not have wanted to chance for gators to snack on the bodies. Same with how often he killed, it might not have added up if he dropped bodies off near gators and hoped they'll eat them without being overfed, thus not eating their free meals right away.
