masks(₂), current dramatis fursonae (1/2)
limni: anthro leopon. adventurer & psychonaut. somewhat power-hungry and obsessed with the occult. our dominant mask — somewhat unstable, but caring and full of vitality and active trickster luck. more often than not acts out of love, though sometimes their plans can be a bit meddlesome. nonbinary skewing masc. guarded and sharp on the outside, tender-hearted and extraordinarily horny on the inside. they/them.
ramshackle: semiferal goat cryptid. often ends up acting as our low-power mode when we're recovering or can't be anyone else. hedonist and playful subversive. agender and unfathomably old. kind of shitty at magic, but it's their bread & butter. they/them.
aster: anthro skunk. tired, charming, and generally down for whatever. aster is us at our healthiest, emotionally-speaking. they're who we'd like to be, but can't always live up to. embodies the passive aspects of our trickster luck. transfem enby and enjoys the easy company of friends. they/them or she/her.
voyo: feral alien wolf. reserved and somewhat stodgy unless someone manages to catch them off guard. us at our most intellectual, without too much emotional imbalance. enjoys archaeology and often works as a healer. horny out of curiosity, but mostly just curious. he/him.

revised explanation of aggregate median structure
in regards to the dominant aggregate median aspect of our system, we use a tiered identity model to describe the composite that makes up our current self at any given moment. some names repeat for historical reasons, which should not be taken to imply equivalence across levels. the scope of a given name is indicated by a numerical subscript suffix.
So in the Hitman games, you can hurl a briefcase at people to knock them out at medium-short ranges.
When you throw at a specific person it's guaranteed to hit, which means that behind the scenes it's doing a bit of seeking. Usually this is unnoticeable since people move at like, walking speeds.
So what happens when you chuck it right as someone takes off on a jetski?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuzZTl5nSDA
anyway this is part of why it is a HUGE deal that gay people, and aspects of our personal lives that cishets share openly, are considered inappropriate for children and for public spaces where children are present.
it is a defining nature of our oppression, like that of ableism, that gay people arise in every setting from every background and are largely raised by people who do not share our oppression. and parents have a frightening amount of control over their children.
while it is almost never true of any period in history or in any place that *adults* are truly ignorant of gay people, it is *often* true that for a substantial portion of our childhoods, gay children's only exposure to gay people is threats and dire warnings.
the illusion for gay adults that there are no gay people in the past is relatively incomplete. by contrast, the illusion that there are no gay people, in the past or now, is relatively complete for gay children.
openly gay teachers are life-or-death.
tinkering
we're being rather reckless with the setup on this x230t, and are thoroughly enjoying it. had 9front installed, but it doesn't look like it or openbsd want to play friendly with the shitty realtek wifi in this thing, so we're gonna get a void install set up on there so we can play with the software coreboot/bios flashing methods a little so we can eventually get a modern wifi card in there. might save the coreboot part until we can properly neutralize the ME and just work through a whitelist removal tutorial for the stock bios that we found while duckduckgoing around the other evening for funzies instead

imagine yourself growing
larger
ever larger
as large as the Big Chungus himself
no, not the Big Chungus of the memes
the true Big Chungus, who is as Big as All Outdoors
who is as Big as the Universe
whose Feet stand upon Nothing
whose Mouth is as Fire
whose Ears fade out of this cosmos into another one altogether
the absolutely Biggest Chungus Of All
once you have fully assumed the role of the Biggest Chungus then proceed to the next part of the rite
