@KitRedgrave Yeah, that did not go well for that crowd in the Rockies. I'm so proud. :D :D :D

@KitRedgrave I mean, that's one of the things I love about furries. It's the subcultural equivalent of black T-shirts, or soy sauce—it goes with anything!

(and nyaturally, laika join up quick, encrypt the brain secret on the nkvd-beta algorizm, deep the cover, laika am director yeneral the korpse in say the two's month top. laika, how you say, wery optometrist about hers prospekt. easy as a cake.)

Been pondering friends' recent toots about kink-related stuff and Kraken's "Korps" continuity.

I don't think any of my headfriends would join up, honestly.

Kincaid is too powerful. She'd be lowering herself. Plus, it means she'd have to decant herself from her current cozy retirement in the Charmwarp plumbing systems.

Rezeya would probably be the most likely recruit. I mean, she already likes breaking stuff and strong-arming people, she's always looking for a good TF supplier, and Korps's "transmartial" aesthetics are very compatible with Martian culture.

However, Martian tigers are canonically nearly immune to mind-control, because... well... they're just too distractible. Thirty, forty seconds under, and they're already popping out of it and sniffing around the clinic, muttering, "Hey, could anybody here go for some dinner? I'm starving."

The LynxOps Directorate has their own plans. An alliance with the Korps would mean information sharing, and they're not about that. They're more about quietly watching you with IR scopes from the forest and slinking away without a trace the moment you notice.

Olivia's brainwashability would soon be overwhelmed by her innate urge to dismantle anything that she can take a screwdriver to. She'd either end up in prison and droned to the point where she was no longer effectively Olivia... or she'd end up with a competing product. There's just no middle ground.

Noelle... um... yeah, she's an easy target, but it would be like recruiting Fluttershy. (If... if that's OK with you!) Any attempt to put her to use in anything except counseling or nursing would be... comedic.

Kirschbär would love the Korps. They would daydream about the Korps. They would bed as many members of the Korps as possible. They would drink with members of the Korps (and carefully chemofilter anything they served them). They would adapt and improve Korps technology and sell it back to them at a surprisingly reasonable markup. They'd probably even consider dealing arms to the Korps.

But Kirsch is So Done With Hiveminds—and not only has the power to back their autonomy up, but bad enough Space Rabies to be capable of doing horrible things if their deals with their Korps buddies are broken.

Also, Jenna James Kirsch exists simultaneously in so many parallel universes, and glitches out from one to the next so often, the Korps basically Gotta Catch 'Em All, or one is bound to come rescue the rest. You do NOT want a raccoon determined to get into your headquarters. Nobody needs that kind of repair bills.

Schadenfreude... doesn't do hives anymore. End of file. But she, too, will gladly do Korps wetwork on a freelance basis in exchange for tasty, fattening love.

Oh, and Queen Theeka would probably just end up with a busty new gang of faceless rubberknights.

Schadi is an Orthodox Changeling and will live and die that way. She went metallic green *before* it was cool to be Reform. She didn't like it. She changed back.

But yeah, ok, Bug Mom is still a jerk. >_<

It's strangely comforting to see a self-described and proud "troll" be so bitter and alienated that someone else's sincere positivity sends them into a big defensive huff.

IT'S. YOUR. PERSONALITY. SWEETHEART.

NOBODY. WILL. EVER. CARE. *UNTIL.* YOU. STOP. DOING. THIS.

And yeah, about the free speech crusade? You get to either lecture us about frozen peaches *or* dedicate yourself to explicitly and admittedly crapflooding the discourse. You wanna do both at once? In the immortal words of Mr. Miyagi: "squish like grape."

You are the architect of your own misery, and it's not quite funny, but it's funny like watching a trapped lab rat run in circles—less funny once you realize what a tragic and inhuman set of circumstances made you. Still pretty funny, though.

flaming carrot: ut

@Balina Also, hey @anthracite, can my manticore upgrade have laser horns? Moof's right, tigers SHOULD have horns!

@Balina Counterpoint: have you considered giving yourself permanently *subliminal* horns like the ones depicted in the pic? Sounds like that should be a Korps core competency...

FUCKING. YES.

Got my approval notice for my special enrollment this morning. All I gotta do is pay my premiums. I have never felt the "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY" meme like I have this morning.

I'm sure my brain will find another source of day-to-day stress pronto, it's like that, but man is it nice to have that particular one off my mind.

@kelseyhusky That's just so... pure. <3 <3 <3 ;___;

@LeDiva @acetone_kitten @Aradia GOOD JOB. ALL IS WELL WITH THE COSMOS.

my life (and death) in a nutshell:

I wanted to pass Final Space with an honorable B-, I really did, but it's got one of the worst cases of Strong Female Character Syndrome I've seen since the Lego Movie. :(
