a recreation of a sonic fanfiction i wrote when i was 10

ok y'all, some context is needed.

we have a song called cassiopeia coming out tonight. i made a tiktok that said if the sound for cassiopeia is used 100 times, i'll publish the sonic fanfiction i wrote when i was 10 that i joke about a lot but have never shared. anyway, this happened in an hour. i am shocked. i did not expect it to happen so quickly. i begin my search.

well, it turns out i can't publish it because the places it was published no longer exist, and 10 y/o didn't back it up (although i thought i had). bummer. an early internet relic gone.

either way, the plot details are seared into my memory because honestly? for some reason, that small act of creativity was a core memory in my life. so while i can't share it, i can retell it, because it's silly and pretty accurately captures what it's like to be 10 and obsessed with a piece of popular media. so here goes.

enjoy, and stream our new single cassiopeia tonight.

Since there was a TMA poll going on already,

I'm not including Oscar Wilde or Howard Carter because they're too plot relevant and I'm not including Karl Marx because he is only namedropped. Yeah these are canonically NPCs in the world of rqg. Please reblog for a bigger sample size.

Best of tags so far:

I love opening up this website first thing like the morning paper and immediately seeing multiple posts like "how to get rid of the evil clown on the dashboard". like oh is this what we're doing today

she was sooo real for this. straight up, you're not.

[Text description: In an interview for Rolling Stone, Phoebe Bridgers said about the song's lyrical content,

"Being like 'I'm not strong enough to show up for you. I can't be the partner that you want me to be.' But also being like, 'I'm too fucked up. I'm unknowable in some deep way!' Self-hatred is a god complex sometimes, where you think you're the most fucked-up person who's ever lived. Straight up, you're not. And it can make people behave really selfishly, and I love each of our interpretations of that concept."

"It is with great sadness that we confirm that our beloved knight, Sir Ballister Boldheart has sadly been killed in tonight's horrific accident at Glorodome. The Institute has begun the investigation..." Ballister is dead. Gloreth's golden descendant seeks vengeance with the help of an expected ally.
