Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@JulieSqveakaroo Listen, any mob I'm part of is gonna dress like it's 1982 and we're about to gobble psilocybin and see Klaus Nomi at the Mudd Club, so any suit I wear is just gonna be zebra stripes over zebra stripes anyway. :D

Serious if potentially problematic question:

How, when, and why did the "black judge who thinks your objection is highly unorthodox, counselor, but will allow it and it had better be going somewhere" become a standard trope? I've seen many parodies of it but never any *source*.

@JulieSqveakaroo Oh SHIT I like that. Maybe "Permagloss" instead. Either way, big Future Gay Mob vibes there and I love it.

@JulieSqveakaroo But ooh. on the other hand, I AM Italian-American and I've never had a proper Goodfellas style nickname.

Anybody care to recommend one? I don't have a good Mafia last name, but my maternal grandma was a Pistillo and I think that's pretty damn serviceable. Nicky "Placeholder" Pistillo. :D

@JulieSqveakaroo And hell, just tell the bronze SOB an Orwell fan sent you. <3

@JulieSqveakaroo That's UNCANNY, roo, I was writing a post on that topic just now...

It just dawned on me that for months or years now I've been getting by without a real online moniker.

My legal first name is Nick, for what it's worth. Many of you probably know that. I'm OK with it. Peg calls me that. It's... fine, though it's less fine here than it is in RL, and NOT fine in non-secure places like Twitter.

I used to be Kincaid. But I retired her so long ago and have so many bad associations with her -- and social anxieties about the swath of rhetorical destruction I left as her. I *kinda* miss that Big Lavavixen Energy? But I can't do business under that name anymore, I just can't.

The zebra character is named Valis, after the Divine Space Laser from Philip K Dick's legendary schizoprophetic episode. Most of you probably didn't even know that. He hasn't had a proper RP forum to exist on in like 10+ years. Valis ain't my name, either.

The Martian Tigress is "Rezeya," of course. I would be tickled red-and-black (the canonical Martian regalia) if you called me Rez or Rezy. But nobody does, not even me. *shrug*

"Zebratron" is meh. It's not a name, it's a weak joke. I've gotten "Z84" a couple of times and it does amuse me, though I feel like I am biting a certain humble and lovable robot projectionist boy's style there. (My friend ZX3.) <3

I dunno. Actually, it kinda feels really appropriate for 2021 (or Month 15 of 2020) to not have a name anymore. Whatever. I miss even feeling like one person, let alone dozens.

honestly if you really love mr vladimir you can just quietly saunter away right now because he was to socialism what st paul was to christianity, a fucking grifter parasite who helped something potentially beautiful evolve into a murderous hatefest

you can find yourself a better commie to love. marcuse and fromm are really really good if you can get past them being old dead straight white men (which is a genuine problem, ask me about "Art of Loving" sometime).

i mean just in general my heart would be really warmed if all you seattleites would hit lenin in the balls whenever you're in fremont and tell him it's from me <3

Man, sometimes nothing ruins a good game more than reading a strategy guide and realizing the way to win big doesn't sound like fun in the slightest.

@chimerror oh you'd just freakin love that you goddamn furry :D

one of my underlings mentioned the Fremont Troll in an example, and now i'm all verklempt

i miss the big guy and hope he's well, could one of y'all check on him for me and say peg and nick send their warmest regards? oh and hit lenin in the crotch for me. <3

@hystericempress "Mi deh fi tek wha's mine!" <3 <3 <3 She even inspired me to spend a little time reading up on Patois, introducing me to what is now my favorite translation of "I'm fine, I guess": "Mi deh yah." ("I'm there, yeah.") Boy, *that's* a mood.

@Cerulean @anthracite If he lived in a hotel in Reno with a bunch of furries, I met him. And I feel like even if I didn't meet him, I met him.

@anthracite Advice to all who are reading: you gotta get you a partner who can eviscerate Anton LaVey with snark at a moment's notice. 😻😻😻

This is a damn near perfect metaphor for my anxiety disorder. (Example: We found a tiny bald patch on Artie. It's probably a flea bite. She is a street kitty. This is not dire nor astonishing. But I can't stop fretting over it for NO REASON. Also my heart palpitated ONCE this morning and I AM DEFINITELY DYING YOU GUYS, MY HINDBRAIN ASSURES ME IT IS TRUE, GOODBYE.)

@balinares Correct. Also Shoomp, Shempers, Shompers, Shoompers, and once in a while, His Royal Highness, Prince Shempington Shempley the Shempty-Shompth. *nod*

@LexYeen But... but... money means security! No money means terror! Oh!
