By way of explanation:

The distress beacon flashes across your ship’s leaf-grown screens. Out of your way. Getting there will burn fuel you can ill afford to lose. And its corporate property. A colony ship, full of ten-thousand souls who sold themselves into indentured servitude as terraformers. Around you the vast gulfs of space, deep wild dark, yawn. No one else will hear until it is too late, and you will never see payment for this, you know. You have a decision to make, Freetraveler.

Outside us Nothing is a rules-light science fantasy ttrpg borrowing heavily from the mechanics of Belonging Outside Belonging and Powered by the Apocalypse, and the stylings of Cowboy Bebop, Space Sweepers, Firefly, and The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet currently being written by yours truly.

GM Advice from Outside us Nothing

›› You are not the leader of the table: You are a member of the table, and you have no more authority than anyone else. ›› Be generous in giving dice out for roleplaying: And also for everything else! ›› Switch genres frequently: Horror! Neo-Noir! Gonzo! Cyber-western! Keep it fresh! ›› Avoid mentioning specific units of time or distance that aren’t made up: Players will remember and you will mess it up. Use periods and other made up units. ›› The primary story of this game will always be personal: The characters in this game may save the universe, and look cool while doing it. But that’s not the goal. The goal is survival. Your goal is to confront them with what’s in their character’s background, history and personality. Bring up the past. Challenge limits. See how far they’ll go to stay alive. What lines they will cross. ›› Scarcity is the best way of maintaining tension: You may want to pick a threat from the other page. But each session the best way of maintaining tension is by being stingy with supplies and fuel. Fudge rolls, have people betray them, but if they never need to worry about starvation or gas then they will never feel pressure to accept a contract that will challenge their characters or themselves.

Outside us Nothing is a statless, anarchist, science fantasy ttrpg about survival and consensus in a strange and indifferent universe, inspired by Cowboy Bebop, Space Sweepers, Citizen Sleeper and The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet currently being written by yours truly.

Where's the option for "I'm from Maryland and we don't ask this question in public because that's how you start fights."

specsthespectraldragon

Reblogging this with some further points:

Was Maryland a slave-owning state during the Civil War? Yes.

Was Maryland a Union state during the Civil War? Complicated! It would have seceded if it were left to its own devices, but the majority of the population was for the Union. Confederate sympathies were primarily correlated with wealth; the rich wanted to secede, the poor didn't.

Does Maryland share a culture with Southern states? Not really. There's a small part of Virginia that's pretty similar, but once you get past the Chesapeake it's a different culture.

Does Maryland share a culture with Northern states? Not really. West Virginia, yes. Parts of Delaware and Pennsylvania, yes.

Does anybody in Maryland agree on whether or not it was Northern or Southern? Again- you don't ask this question in Maryland, unless you want to get stabbed in a bar in St. Mary's on a Tuesday evening.

#no but I can’t answer this because I’m from WV #and the question of if WV is southern #or Appalachian or like east coast or Midwest is too contentious #for me too make any assumptions #also don’t call WV Midwest if I’m in the room

Dyke in a dress, where will they go?

Ok listen we NEED to talk about your girlfriend. I know you’re doomed by the narrative and all, but she keeps defying the will of fate with her vain and ever more desperate attempts to save you. It’s SERIOUSLY going to rend the fabric of space-time if she keeps this up. I’m not even joking. We’re all going to end up in a closed loop of decaying reality if—it’s not cute, stop laughing!!

raiasintended

if you’re wondering, “is this post about that one thing with the lesbian?” the answer is yes

“You’ll never be a woman” ah cheers, thanks mate prolly explains the they/them pronouns

#transphobes can only imagine us as envious #rather than a wholy new thing

boozois asked:

i just read that really transphobic anon ask that was honestly a sad attempt at making you feel bad and :/ i am sorry people are so rude! they posted that anonymously because they're complete cowards. if you are gonna say something like that then at least reveal yourself. either way, when i get stuff like that, i always delete it and i never respond to it. this is just my method and logic, but i feel like if somebody puts that much effort into saying something shitty they probably want a reaction. people like that are not worth a single second of your time. i hope you're alright going forward! sending love and positivity :D

Yeah I’ll delete any follow up they send me

Also yeah TERFs on here are like high school bully level of sad

edgycoffee asked:

People clowning in your asks as if we didn't just have a community event like, 12 hours ago smh. Jokes on them but we have the power of community unlike most terfs who can't love themselves or others because they're so full of hate.

TERFs can only imagine a community united by hate, anger and fear. They don’t realize what it means that us queers try to love each other

Anonymous asked:

You will never be a real woman. You have no womb, you have no ovaries, you have no eggs. Your body is twisted by drugs and surgery into a crude mockery of nature's perfection. All the "validation" you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your "friends" laugh at your ghoulish appearance behind closed doors. People are utterly repulsed by you. Even trannies who "pass" look uncanny and unnatural. Your bone structure is a dead giveaway. You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it's going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.

Eventually it'll be too much to bear - you'll buy a rope, tie a noose, put it around your neck, and plunge into the cold abyss. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They'll bury you with a headstone marked with your birth name, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a man is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably male :)

All ever listen to yourselves and think yinz MAY be the baddies? Also are you like sixteen that you think I care about what my parents think? When I die the grave goods and evidence of a history of recovering from broken bones will tell future historians my community loved me and the microplastics will tell them I survived the 21st century. Don’t much care beyond the survival and love of my friends. Yinz should try it sometimes.

Unrelated, but god you have no idea how hot the uncanny and unnatural is. Thanks babe

Genly 'my "I absolutely did not fuck the gender fluid alien who saved my life" official report has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my official report' Ai

Ya know TERFs trying to insult me by calling me a clown and saying I don’t know anyone would prolly hit harder (or at all) if I didn’t know like half a dozen horny hot clown girls.

Saw a peta ad that was like “sheep farmers have lambs born in the winter and that renders the lambs too weak to defend themselves from predators” and like... do lambs usually defend themselves from predators...

Maybe not wher you come from but i live in the forest and I'm a perfectly normal ant who can be trusted not to spread spores into the colony before mmm climbing as high and high as high as high as i can to and then and then and then and then

big clunky dyke boots are like the hottest thing ever and god nerfed me horrifically by making them pure sensory hell for me to wear. I’ll put them on and be like “I am so fucking hot, look at how hot I am is anyone crushing on....fuck I can’t roll my ankles, these are so heavy on my feet, I can’t roll my ankles i can feeeeel them around my ankles AH”

#which is especially dumb given that ive literally broken a foot from rolling my ankle #still not gonna wear them though

frankly, having mutuals has ruined me. i can't see a train without immediately going "ohh, my train mutual would love this," or hearing someone talk about a celebrity without going "that's the man my mutual wants to tie up and put in a deep fryer."

annabellioncourt

In the tags tell the mutual you reblogged from what kind of mutual they are to you.

ossifer-bones

I don't blame you for wanting to, @thefiresontheheight, but this is still highly improper to put in tags 😳

thefiresontheheight

Wait, ah shit, oh fuck, damn, SKELETON mutual
