Thoughts for the Void

 I don't often speak out about my opinions in public. I understand that most of my opinions are fairly obtuse and definitely not popular in the slightest. So I will simply toss them out into this Void that is my blog.     Please keep in mind that all of these opinions are from April 2023 me. At any point I can change them. Speaking of... You can change your mind whenever you want. There is nothing and no-one stopping you. I have run into too many people online that like to pull up old tweets or internet ramblings as some sort of "gotcha" against the person they want to hurt. But this -in the end- means barely anything. Could it hurt them in the future with certain things? Maybe, assuming that other people tied to a target will agree with the attacks and accusations. But by the time anyone draws their last breath, none of this will matter. None of it. Everyone you meet online is a character. Everyone you meet in person could be too.   Again, another opinion based...

The Rambling Men: An Introduction

      "Wouldn't that be amazing though?"     "I don't know about amazing, Dad. It is definitely a wild thought though."     "Isn't it? But that would explain so much about why cars seem to disappear and reappear on the major roadways all over the world!"     "Time travelers. Or would it be teleporting creatures?"     "It would be both. Absolutely."     I can't hear the rest of the conversation between this human male and his daughter as the green light on the road pushes all of our automobiles forward. A few motorcycles zoom by as well, too fast to pick up on the music they might be listening to.      "Did you find a Pathway yet?" My partner asks as she scans the Pathway Connector again. "We need to get to that party soon. I don't like missing such important get-togethers."     "I will find it. It is a fairly specific Pathway, even with how popular it is on the planet." I shake my head a...

Memetic Hazard

    The warning flashed on our holographic communicators and every other holographic screen in our house. We were waiting for it with anxious darting eyes and shallow breaths. As soon as the tones sounded and we saw it, we all ran to find what we needed for the warning.   BLINDFOLD WARNING This is a blindfold warning! Please locate and wear your blindfolds until otherwise notified by a figure of authority. All those without blindfolds must barricade themselves in a dark room until otherwise notified. This is not a drill or test. Please locate and wear your blindfolds after reading this message!     We all found our blindfolds and put them on. It didn't take long before we heard a knock on the door and a familiar voice called out to us. "Family 126. Please link your bodies together so I can guide you to a safe location. Make sure all of your Asif are in their miniature terrariums and in your possession."     "They are. We're coming." Dad called back. H...

Adventures With...

    "Normally, my friend would be running around by now, trying to steal my thunder." Charlie says to his other friends as I approach. "He always steals my thunder! I never get a chance to be in the spotlight of any- oh, dammit!"     "Something wrong, Charlie?" I wonder as our friends welcome me into the circle they made with Charlie.      Charlie looks all over my body and grumbles at a familiar token. "Again?! Seriously! Every time!"     I get really confused. "What are you on about? I don't see why my necklace automatically makes you so agitated with-"     "Don't bother! I just- Agh!" Charlie stomps away. "I'll just go practice with my sword. That will make me the-"     "Do you even know what's up with Charlie?" One of the others lazily waves toward Charlie's direction.      "I honestly have no idea." I shrug. "But come on. Let's go find him to make sure he didn...

Off To See The Wizard!

 Ha! Jokes on you. There is no blog post here.     Well, okay, not a real one anyway. More like a thank-you to those of you who have been reading my stuff, coming to see me on streams, and generally seem interested in my work.      Apologies for my lack of enthusiasm about writing toward the end of my writing months. I am going to be working on that to figure out why I seem to have a problem with that.      Keep an eye out for different things on all my socials. I try to make each one special to a certain type of post, to the best of my ability. I should probably post those here, eh? ~Socials!~ Twitch: twitch.tv/animuscustodius [Where I stream, usually randomly] Twitter: https://twitter.com/AnimusCustodius [Where I tweet blog post announcements or off-handed comments] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/animuscustodius/ [Where pictures for inspiration/deep thought go] TikTok: @animuscustodius [Meant for private stuff, may post things even...
