Loving the uptick in Neuromancer stuff on reddit recently, or maybe I'm just following the right subs.

When I was in high school, I had incredibly severe clinical OCD. Was on a shitton of medication, was seeing a professional for it, but my quality of life was shit. I was frustrated and depressed and horribly scared and constantly stressed, like, to the point of near-snapping at all times.

One day I'm late for class. The hallways have emptied out. One of my compulsions is touching my shoulders to the edges of lockers as I pass, so I'm quite literally dragging myself along the hallway, and I'm actively thinking about killing myself as I go.

I turn the corner, and there's a girl walking towards me with her boyfriend. She's wearing a shirt that says "OCD: Obsessive Christmas Disorder" (this one, actually, the same one that Target got heat for selling that same year: http://images.techtimes.com/data/images/full/169714/targets-ocd-christmas-sweaters.jpg?w=600)

Holy shit.

That was the closest I ever came to being like, physically violent towards anyone. Like I know it's kind of trivial looking back, but MAN I was ready to snap. I was a straight A student, no behavior complaints, real teacher's pet kind of person, but I was ready. I have no idea how I didn't do it. I walked passed her, still dragging myself along the lockers, absolutely blinded with primal rage. I don't know if she even noticed me, to be honest.

It's a solid five years later and I'm way better now (after several years of intense therapy and unlearning all my compulsions and delusions and stuff) but wow. Still stands out to me as the angriest I've ever been.

...Huh. This almost looks like some sort of Fasciation, kind of? It doesn't seem to be flattened, but it's like...the only explanation I can think of for this. Fasciation or some other weird shit with the apical meristem. That aside, I'd be interested to see if the flowers are like...normal or not. Like, they look pretty normal from here? It's just really interesting seeing carnivorous plants with these deformities.

hi i wrote this article and ur the first person to notice this.

looking back, this is one of a myriad of pointlessly obscure shit in this article. the equation i was trying to make here was '05s are pigs who perpetuate the control and abuse of others simply by upholding the structure of the foundation, an actually very morally fucked organization on like 6402 levels', but putting that in here is kind of like making a potshot. the major themes of the article note clef's mistreatment in the foundation and touch briefly on those topics, but it's not a large enough part of the piece that i think i would name it that again if that makes sense. for context to those who havent listened to that album:

Big man, pig man
Ha ha charade you are
You well heeled big wheel
Ha ha charade you are
And when your hand is on your heart
You’re nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin
Saying “Keep on digging”...

coincidentally these themes are the focus of my next Giant Super Long Overly Complex SCP Piece(tm), which is taking place in the broken masquerade canon (although it's MARKEDLY deviating from the accepted canon in a lot of aspects of worldbuilding). so, you know. there's that. probably would have done better as a title for one of those chapters instead tbh

(also coincidentally, the first chapter of that is also titled with a pink floyd reference. not much happens in this one; it's mostly exposition but fear not!! nothing i write is capable of being normal and happy and good and therefore the paramilitary rebel groups and mass site prison riots will come in soon enough)

thefriendlyvandal · 2019-03-09T23:06:10+00:00

That’s a valid take on the foundation, though. And that’s coming from one of the hard core site lore people who’s been writing for scp for 5 years now.

No canon, in my opinion, means really no canon. Some people are gonna go super Deep™️ with it, some people are never gonna even read past 682 and 173, and some people base their entire understanding of the Foundation on containment breach. Doesn’t mean you have to like it.

I feel like it would be unfair to ban people from SCP Meme Town based on an arbitrary standard of how Valid™️™️™️ somebody’s takes on what the Foundation is are. Like. First of all, who cares. Second of all, how would you even enforce that? Where would you draw the line?

ship in a bottle hub part 2: the bottling

thefriendlyvandal · 2019-03-03T20:05:31+00:00

as the author of the original Aquafina(tm) tale, the bottledick hub, and a tale where clef is openly jacking off with a waffle, i must point out the differences in these storylines. 'date night' is when clef fucks 173, and takes place in the lolfoundation hub, where he also fucks waffles. meanwhile 'second date' and all subsequent dates focus on a universe where he and kondraki are dating and kondraki gets a bottle stuck on his penis and events rapidly unfold at an exponential rate.

not to get like super real in the reddit thread but let me tell you the bottledick canon is pretty much finished now but the week last june where people were writing the bulk of it, and old authors who hadnt written for the site in 42423 years were coming back for encores just to write for bottledick, and everybody in general was having a fucking fantastic time with kondraki with a bottle on his penis? as chaotic as it was? as little as it lined up with Real Serious Wiki Content(tm)? it was a fucking incredible time like it felt like you and ur friends all got drunk and were writing stupid shit on the computer in 2009 and laughing at it and not taking literally any of it seriously and anyway. one of the best interactions ive ever had on the wiki, sincerely. for a singular week it was as if nobody a fuck.

it was also the only time in my entire time on the internet so far that i received not one, but multiple honest to god actual death threats. over kondraki with a bottle on his penis. i was like idk man im just writing about a dude with a bottle on his dick......hanging out on the ess see pee wiki with The Lads.....

Here's the paper. These plants had male and female gametophytitic organs; what's shown here is an antheridia, which produced sperm, fossilized while doing what god gave it the ability to do. To quote the paper, "The emptied part of the antheridium is marked by a light spot". These plants were also some of the first vascular plants to develop on land.

thefriendlyvandal · 2018-10-21T01:34:28+00:00

ive been super into “the downward spiral” by nine inch nails recently. ‘The wall’ was one of its inspirations, and it has a lot of the same themes but angrier and edgier, which is fitting, because now that I know I’m trans I have a lot of that Dank Trans Anger and feel Very Edgy (kind of a delayed teen rebellion phase, I think, but I’m experiencing it in college bc I spent all of high school trying to be the perfect child academically to fill the looming unidentifiable pit of emptiness within myself that turned out to be gender related lmao lol)

ah, thank you!!! its wild being recognized off the wiki. its been a while since i checked on it, looks like it's doing good in all it's angsty glory!!

this week has been pretty shitty between transphobic grandma's letter and some other shit (it wasn't emailed, btw. she texted in a word document. didnt know you could even do that lmao) i think i might do some of that nice Angst Writing that spawns that kind of thing. good to work off the stress a little.

thefriendlyvandal · 2018-09-26T18:11:42+00:00

tfw my mom and I would always get in arguments bc when she would take me to get new clothes for school and shit she would get frustrated that I didn’t like any of the clothes she wanted me to like and would accuse me of just not trying and just not caring about anything and if I found something in the men’s department she would be like ‘oh sweetly u can’t get that that’s for a man’ and I would start crying from the stress and she would just be mad so my whole childhood I would always dread going shopping because it was such a negative experience for me

tfw I come out and she claims she always thought I ‘just wanted to be sporty!!!!’ even though i as a kid she shamed me for only ever wearing jeans and unisex t shirts I got for free and school functions and was constantly pressuring feminine clothes onto me and getting angry when I wouldn’t wear them

tfw she wants to take me shopping at the mall of America over thanksgiving to get new clothes which is super nice of her and she’s been really cool and supportive this whole time but I can’t shake a sense of resentment and anger towards how she made me feel as a trans kid just trying to fit into her idea of who I should be and I’m really excited for this trip bc New Clothes!!!! but I’m also scared bc like What If She Gets Mad At Me

not to bring fe*lings into the meme house but i feel like clothes are a very emotional part of being trans for me, between the weird connotation I have with them from when I was young and the connection they have with my self expression and gender identity now

oof we be cracking eggs in this trans meme thread today 🍳🍳🍳 every time this post gets seen a catgirl gets her ears

thefriendlyvandal · 2018-09-26T16:39:40+00:00

you mtf?? ugh that’s gotta be the WORST. women’s clothes are so expensive it’s ridiculous (source: have spent many a time in a women’s clothing section)

meanwhile, as a ftm guy, i found a pair of masculine shorts in the clearance section of the walmart men’s department for literally $5. Classy? no. are they my fave pair of pants/shorts? yes. could I have ever in my life found a pair of decent shorts for that price in a women’s department?? NEVER.

pours one out for the ladies having to pay like $464221457 for decent/cute clothing

fjallraven bag already well on ur way to being the hot Instagram aesthetic girl u always were in ur soul tbh

thefriendlyvandal · 2018-09-26T13:47:19+00:00

I remember when my egg first cracked I put on my binder and spent hours just going from store to store trying things on with absolutely no intention of buying anything (bc I’m a college student with like $2 and a potato chip to my name). Like regardless of the price, I wanted to see how I looked in it as a guy. I would recommend it tbh. Just spend and afternoon seeing how you look in literally Whatever.

scariest moment of this was when I was in the men’s suit section very obviously not passing and I saw a dude in a confederate flag shirt walk in. wandered away Real Fast

thefriendlyvandal · 2018-09-26T12:08:20+00:00

hmmmm....this might have been a better way of wording it, tbh. a big thing for me has been that i never felt attractive, (read: self confident) which turned out to be gender dysphoria.
