Subject: It's appropriation...

It's peering into another culture, saying "ooh, shiny!" and taking something without any regard for the context and culture in which it came from. Borrowing a word is very minor compared to, say, appropriating aboriginal art, but it's the same idea.
Let's start here:
The PPC HQ Temple of All Faiths is now open for business worship!
Based in the former Official Temple of GreyLadyBast, the newly renovated Temple of All Faiths is for Agents and Staff of all beliefs - provided most of them are happy with a Generic Prayer Room, of course.
(On this note: if anyone can tell me why, in the United Church of All Canons, the Javascript works under IE but not under Chrome, I'd be very grateful)
A couple of files which haven't been properly plugged before:
The Battle of Goldberg, 2004 is the dramatic tale of the PPC's fight with Lee Goldberg, The Man Who Hated Fanfiction. It was kind of fun. ;)
The Comprehensive History of the PPC is a brief prose retelling of, well, everything - mostly the Emergencies, with an appendix on the Legendary Badfics. Want to know what exactly the Les Miserables Songfic Crisis was? This will tell you.
Fifty Shades of Canon is a little Jay and Acacia snippet from earlier this year.
Huinesoron's Webplex is up and running! It's a bit of a sprawling mess, but it gets all my PPC files into one place (the 'PPC' section at top right). This is why I haven't been keeping the DOGAplex up to spec - it's been replaced (although the DOGA front page will direct you to the PPC sections of the Webplex)
You may notice that the Webplex isn't running in its entirety - that's because the missing bits require me to do a lot of research into my own files, and, well, it's quite boring. ;) But a lot of it is running.
hS
As head shrine maiden, I demand to know where The Adjective Goddess July's spot is. And I suppose those other, inferior deities, Phobos and Nesh should have places as well.
Proof of godhood being here
A lone woman stands on a box outside the Temple of All Faiths. She has long red hair and an unnerving smile. She carries a sign that is written in crayon. It reads "Repent!"
Her gaze locks onto anyone entering or leaving the Temple and she continuously shouts her message. "Repent, unbelievers! Bask in the glory of the True Sunflower! Take one of my hand-drawn pamphlets! The True Sunflower will return one day and smite the unbelievers! Repent and ye shall be saved! We have meetings every Thursday! Bring a dish to pass or be smote! Repent!"
The tirade continues until she spots nurses from Ficpsych approaching with a straight-jacket. She hurriedly grabs her pamphlets and box before disappearing around the corner.
-The Sunflower's Witness
Repent of your wicked ways and accept the True Sunflower as your boss and Official! The power of the Sunflower compels you! Repent!
Now, could you please sign this waiver so I might exorcise your unbelief from you?
*She hands you a piece of paper with "Waver" written in crayon across the top. Under "Waver" it just has an X and a dotted line, clearly meant to hold a signature.
I'm just pretending to arrest you, so the Unbelievers will not attack us. Don't worry, I'll take them away.
Now, could you please follow me to FicPsych? I'm sure there is a lot of people there who needs you to show them the ways of the True Sunflower...
She knows this game and she is not falling for it. She throws the "Waver" in your face and runs away around a corner yelling "Repent!" at the top of her lungs. Once out of sight, you can no longer hear her. When you look around the corner she is gone.
She needs FicPsych attention badly.
Depends. Do you want to be... smote? Smitten? Smited? *is unsure*
There's no such thing as bad publicity. And, though she has left the temple, I will make it known throughout the multiverse that Greyladybast is NOT the goddess she claimed to be. Take that, you fleabag of a dei--
ZZZZZZZZAP!
...unh...
Madoka, maybe? She's the Goddess/Concept of Hope, with her you can hope to not be smithed anymore.
Of course, if you don't want to, nobody's going to force you.
But refusing to aknowledge Madoka would probably lead to an angry Homura chasing you with a rocket launcher.
And Maintenance doesn't want blown-up walls anymore.
... Kaitlyn is a former Priestess of Bast, and she might take exception if Araeph turned her non-devotion away from the Formerly Great Goddess. And do you really want to upset the Threefold Lady of Fertility?
hS
Cursed with eternal pregnancy? O__o
Non-devotion is the most you can expect. Sorry!
Don't worry, just smite! SMITE, I say!
*considers*
Cunning Arguments, today, I think.
Oddly satisfying.
Yeah, that's not an official smiting way, but sometimes you just have too do something new, right?
Homura here wanted the "smite by RPG-7 for not believing in Madoka" variant, but I stopped her.
If we blow up the Unbeliever, we have nobody else to smite.
Even with Walpurgisnacht, she just gave her the Giant Hug of Pink Light and Forgiveness.
And did you forget? Even in Madoka, Homura's the only one who knows she existed--everyone else just knows it as 'The Law of Cycles/Circles' (Fun fact: Apparently alternate character reading can translate that as meaning 'Kaname Madoka') and thinks that it's just one of the universe's natural laws that used-up Soul Gems and their Magical Girl body vanish. So it's not really fair to smite Araeph for not believing in a god only one canon knows exists.
And if you were going to smite, smite her with the giant-storm-of-arrows thing that automatically teleports Madoka there to give Araeph some love and forgiveness.
*opens portal to hijack some of Madoka's arrows*
Accept the love and forgiveness of Madokami, and become a Madokaist too!
*looks at the smoking crater*
Damn, I messed up! I portaled there Nanoha's Starlight Breaker instead!
It may have the same effect, though.
Also, unless I missed something, Araeph is not a Puella Magi. So, uh, yeah.
And Madoka loves and accepts everyone, regardless of whether they accept her!
She did her best to save the world from Witches by stepping in and dissolving the Soul Gems before Puella Magi transform, without caring if that erased her in such a way she basically never existed, so nobody (with the notable exception of Homura) remembers her.
It takes a LOT of selfless love to do something like that. And then keep doing that forever, always with a smile.
That's why Madoka has my respect.
And Homura too. For sheer determination. Things kept going worse and worse, and her answer? Upgun herself in order to wipe out everything that could harm Madoka.
That's why I think Walpurgis should have gone down. But unfortunately this is an anime from Gen Urobochi aka Mister No-Happy-Ending.
Well, after our current collaboration (Yeah, we are going to write madness together again!) I think I will go back to fanfiction writing and fix that.
With the help of Nanoha, Fate, Solid Snake and Sakura. Yeah, it will be a crackfic.
Homura made it without falling into despair, Madoka destroyed every witch that would ever exist in the past, present, or future, and the world went from a place where all Puella Magi are doomed to become hellish monsters to one where they all get to go to essentially-heaven. A bit bittersweet, yes, but by Urobochi standards, that's amazingly upbeat.
(Why do my comments here disproportionately involve talking about PMMM?)
However, "bittersweet" just doesn't suit me.
That's why I am writing IrregularS right now.
/when/ the Unbeliever is smitten! :D
(Smiting, yay!)
...the Smiting Centre.
http://bonsaimallorn2.webs.com/BastSmite.htm
Weirdly gory but quite convincing/amusing. Heh. I SMITE THE ALL WAYS.
Is there a method you prefer above others?
1/ Well, you can worship them, but you can't load a specific Worship Environment in the UCAC. So there's the Generic Prayer Room.
2/ You may. I may even do something with your recommendations. Bear in mind that I need to know enough about the deity/canon in question to write a oneish-line Worship Environment, as with the current ones in the UCAC.
3/ Yes. Definitely. By which I mean no. The Greater Demon Wikia never made itself known to them. ;)
hS
When the Avengers come out.... oh, oh oh, oh no, I just thought of--
Then may I please recommend Kaname Madoka and the Sankt Kaiser? Here's a basis of each one:
Sankt Kaiser: In Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha history, there used to be warring empires, spread throughout the universe. These empires had a habit of creating reality-warping artifacts with which to fight this war, and also turning their rulers into weapons themselves. The last leader of the nation Belka, Olivie Segbrecht, was one of the most powerful of these. She ended up sacrificing herself to end the war, and so was deified.
Kaname Madoka: From Puella Magi Madoka Magica, a deconstruction/reconstruction of the magical girl genre, where girls make contracts with this being called Kyubey: they get one wish, and in return for that, they get a jewel called a Soul Gem that lets them use magic, and they have to fight monsters called witches. What they don't know at first is that a) the Soul Gem is literally their soul, ripped out of their bodies, and if they get more than 100 meters away from it they won't be able to use their bodies (which will become comatose) or if the gem breaks, they will die. b) As they use magic/feel negative emotions, the gem darkens, and if the gem darkens completely, then they will become witches.
Madoka wished to stop every witch everywhere, and so takes away the magical girls, before they become witches, to her heaven in another world. In the words of Tomoe Mami "You're not just bringing hope. You're becoming hope itself--the hope for all of us." This had the side effect of making her cease to exist as a person, and so she is everywhere and everywhen, but unable to interact with anyone. Of course, any Puella Magi agents would find this out, and therefore would might want to worship her.
Hm, that ended up being kinda long. Oh well, my agent Ari already worships the Sankt Kaiser, and I have plans for Puella Magi agents, who would definitely worship Madoka.
But beware! For is it not written, "Be careful what you wish for"?
(Yes, it is. In the Way of Mrs Cosmopilite)
Magical Church of Fabulous Animation Wonder!
hS, muahaha
Huh, cool. I'll definitely use this in one of my missions. Just one minor thingie:
The Church of the Saint Kaiser is the only mentioned religion in Nanoha, oddly enough, and is big enough to have its own troops, hospitals, and its leaders are occasionally government personnel (Apparently Mid-Childa has not heard of 'seperation of church and state.') My point was that there isn't much religion shown canonically outside of Saint-King-ism. Plus, that whole giant war thing that she sacrificed herself to end kinda ended up with all of them being mostly wiped out, apart from the isolated descendant-with-genetic memories, cloned-to-run-a-giant-spaceship, reawakened-to-bring-a-zombie-army cases. So, it's unlikely that anyone would deface the little shrine.
What would an SK shrine/altar (which?) look like? Would it have a statue, and if so, would the statue wear a crown? Or other jewellery?
hS
Hmm. Well, let's see. We almost never see the Saint King herself (Olivie) and the only picture that shows up and is official is this painting of her in a dress: 
I couldn't find any pictures of a particular symbol they used, so a statue of Olivie would probably be more likely, but she would possibly be in her armor. Going by Vivio, her clone's, armor, it might look something like this: 
But it might also look like very pretty armor. The statue would probably wear a small-ish crown, but I'm guessing here--Olivie's life has not been touched on very much in the manga, since the main plot is the magical-combat tournament.
Yes, it's really funny. Actually, that joke hadn't occurred to me--I thought you would mention something about the whole diety-cloned-and-is-a-ten-year old thing, but yours is better than that.
She's everywhere and everywhen, but people can't see or hear her (with maybe the partial exception of Homura, as hinted in the epilogue). And she's around in the PPC too, since she follows Puella Magi Agents too. (yeah, she's on the "Canon character who know about the PPC" list. And if she isn't, is going to be added.
The fact is, PPC Agents are meta. They can see things that canons can't.
So, are we going to assume that Madoka will start to hang out in the PPC, since with them (and only them) she actually can interact?
Well, she still doesn't have a physical body, so I doubt she'd be hanging around in a visible sort of way, but I could see her commenting occasionally. Probably not all that often, though, since as she herself pointed out, she's got the entire history of the world and every Puella who ever lived to keep her company. ;)
Yes, she would probably be there, but not interact; you won't see Ultimate Madoka sitting down to have tea with the SO. But any Puella Magi agents who fall into despair will be visited by her, and no one will be able to interact with her, unless they've got some kind of Sight/psychic ability/wish somewhat related to being able to see her. Perhaps if she appears to a PPC Puella Magi, then they will be able to talk to her for the time it takes for her to save said dying Magi.
Also, not even every Puella: Every single living creature ever.
You know, Madoka sitting down to have tea with the SO would be kinda funny, actually.
*knows naught of whence ye speak, seeing as my knowledge of anime is extremely sharp and focused on a few fandoms- but from what you've said about Madoka, she seems like the opposite of the SO*
Do you know Sakura from Card Captor Sakura? They have more or less the same kind of hope and kindness.
To the point that in the TvTropes Pantheon Sakura just stepped down willingly from the Goddess of Magical Girls position to let Madoka take it. They also appear to be good friends.
Also explains why I would have liked Madoka being capable of appearing at random in HQ. A chat with her would probably save many, many Agents from snapping or losing hope.
Well, she can't. She can only appear to those who are A) Puella Magi and 2) About to become witches. Still would be interesting, but not possible with what we know about Ultimate Madoka. :(
We would also have to assume that PPC Agents can't see Kyubey, as he makes himself visible only to those he wants to.
Namely, Puella Magi and potential ones.
Well, unless we say that Kyubey too is aware of the PPC (and somewhat approves of it), but then we would have him around trying to make contracts with all teenage female Agents, as PPC life leads to a lot of despair... and I don't want him around Nikki or Corolla, thanks.
Expecially since Agent!Sergio's reaction would be "Kill the cat-rabbit bastard. Then kill him again and again until he stays dead or gives up".
Chances are, the Flowers then would be too scared of him to try to decommission him. With all the unpleasant conseguences such a situation would have.
Oh, Madoka. You managed to become the most controversial deity in PPC history.
Wait, decommission who? Sergio or Kyubey? Also, he won't force you into a contract, just keep hanging around you (which he can't do outside of his home 'verse) or wait for something bad to happen (such as Mami's car crash or when Sayaka or Madoka are about to get killed).
Also, I assumed that Kyubey can be neuralyzed, for a few reasons: One, the main problem with hive-minds is that the knowledge can get spread around to everywhere else (though, didn't we have to neuralyze a Borg once?) but Kyubey has a mind seperate from the other members of his race--he doesn't know what an Incubator running around in America thinks unless that Incubator tells him. So, if you manage to neuralyze him almost immediately, he should be able to forget it... I hope.
It falls under "killing a canon character".
Still, would PPC Agents be able to see Kyubey during missions?
Nah, Flowers wouldn't be too scared to drag Sergio by the ear back to FicPsych.
Yes, Agents should be able to see him--we can see what the viewpoint characters see (sorta) so he should appear clear as day.
And okay, I gotcha. That could be... extremely amusing indeed, then.
Maybe she helps out at FicPsych, disguised as a nameless intern?
*just looked up the TVTropes Pantheon* You, si'am, are my hero.
Not sure which.
I am a guy, by the way.
It's just sometimes hard to tell. ^^;
In fact, very often I discover that a Boarder who I thought was a male is actually a female, or vice versa.
Ob...viously. /alanrickman
She would never stay with such a pesky individual.
I'm pretty sure it's in the mythology somewhere...
hS, meddling
...can never die, but rises again, stronger than ever!
Which means a) it's funnier that way (for me - and it's my website :P), and b) there's bound to be someone with a contrary point of view - such as a recruited badfic character who was friends with a Sue who became the real god there and defeated the evil 'Saint' so-called Kaiser in pitched battle with flashy lights and everything... yeah, and so on and so forth.
(I admit the SK shrine was the most tenuous of the three. It may be repaired later - if I canf ind a funnier way to disable it)
hS
Oh, I see. I'd actually be really really surprised, yet somehow not, to see a Belkan Sue, considering that all this went down several centuries beforehand, and the Saint Kaiser is almost a Sue in herself, being the best combat mage, the kindest person, the most beautiful person--although, considering that she's been dead and a lot of that is either a) exaggerated by her worshippers or b) described by the descendant with the memories of the Saint King's boyfriend-prince.
Anyways, there could be some kind of controversy whether it had a statue of the Saint King herself, or her six-year-old clone, and whether said clone's mothers (yes, plural.) should be on there, or whatever.
The point was, a Sue in that time period would be strange because that time is almost never written about in canon, so almost nothing is known. But on the other hand, it has superpowerful royals who would be controlled by their nation, and it is a trait of Suethors that they can villify pure and kind people. Well, should one of those fics pop up, I would definitely mission it.
Or the Church of Harmony, for that matter.
The utterly horrifying failure and trainwreck that was Mass Effect 3's ending?
Um. Well, everyone has their own opinion on the ending. I've never played Mass Effect, so I have no idea how it ended. Did it involve a schoolgirl sacrificing herself to rewrite the laws of reality and becoming a fundamental law of the universe?
No, it involved a lot of pain and suffering and ultimately being for nothing.
I personally really liked the ending. But again, everyone has their own opinion, so we should probably stop discussing this.
I think (s)he meant the Mass Effect 3 ending there, not Madoka.
(Incidentally, the end of PMMM is quite possibly the best ending to a piece of fiction I have ever seen. Period.)
I think Max just doesn't like Madoka's ending. While I'm sure s/he has their reasons, the board is probably not the best place to discuss it, at least in a thread about a new site.
...which is what I thought s/he meant. The ending of ME3 made a lot of people angry because they thought it was badly-executed/a cop-out/left too many loose ends/made no sense/whatever, but the basic events are rather similar- the protagonist merges their mind with a much larger force to eliminate the threat posed by the infringing monsters/antagonists. It's just that where PMMM tied up all the loose ends and caused all sorts of feels, ME3... did not handle it as well.
Anyway, shutting up now.
And the Sankt Kaiser Olivie is a good idea, too.
Oh, and the 100 meters thing is wrong. The body doesn't become comatose - Sayaka is clearly shown to be dead until Homura brought her Soul Gem back.
Really? Oh yeah, and in the video game, she started to rot.
No, it isn't. It's all Huinesoron's doing.
You might want to look into what goes on in case of custody cases, y'know, hS, if your wife is going around impregnating people, with presumably golden seed.
On the other hand, playmates for the small child is good.
It's all magic - er, I mean miracles - anyway.
And, just for you...
The Fount of Knowledge
Where the Greater Demon Wikia (or the Minor Imp Consensus) may be consulted... if the correct sacrifice is offered, of course.
hS
...But why are we mentioning TvTropes?
(Though, Jay and Acacia's stuff's well documented on the wiki, killed fic pages aside.)
And because it's clearly a demon - it eats time, and spits out useless trivia. It fits.
(I know, I know. But surrealist incorrect in-jokes no one will get are all part of the 'demon-worship' thing)
hS
@_@
(And fair enough, there.)

It's not "cute", it doesn't make you "like Germany in Hetalia", it's annoying and honestly, it's also very insulting to real native speakers like EF and I.
It's like your ignoring everything people tell you on purpose, y'know, and that makes me really upset with you.
Stop it.
I don't think it's cute, and I don't want to be 'like Germany in Hetalia', it's an extremely bad habit.
I use random bits of foreign languages in general conversation, in real life. This includes French, Latin, Japanese, and, yes, German. I did this even BEFORE Hetalia. My mind works in very funny ways and sometimes the foreign word comes out before the English one.
I've been trying to edit my posts, to get rid of it, but sometimes a bit of it slips through the cracks. I am EXCEEDINGLY sorry.
Can you please stop yelling at me for it? I'm not doing it to insult you, and I'll try to do better.
Does this mean I can't randomly use Spanish (if I had Permission, that is?) Because I think it's fun, and the purpose is not to offend people, and I've been studying it for years now.
It appears Spanish and French are still okay, as the Grammar Nazis haven't yelled at me for using either of those yet.
Honestly? I thought *I* was annoying and pedantic.
It's just that, at least to me, your native language sticks out most. Hence the German.
Don't try to pull the "bullied" card on me. Trust me, I know what being heckled and yelled at is like from life-long experience. You're practically getting away with scratches.
But there is a thing called "reading over your posts before you post them" - if you already SEE you used German again, don't go "Oops, there I go again, silly me!" Delete the German. Write as usual. There, problem solved.
I'm just trying to stand up for something that's part of my identity. Please try to understand that.
Why can't we use foreign languages?
For no other reason because you think it's cool or it proves you know that language or you like that language.
Exceptions are, for example, agents who grew up with a foreign language and slip into it when angry/use the curse words.
You sure know how many anime-badficcers use the word kawaii, right? It's that kind of thing. (It becomes outright embarrassing when the word in question is misspelled/misapplied.)
Actually, the word 'kawaii' has made its way into the Oxford English Dictionary.
For better or for worse, it's part of English now.
You still wouldn't want to use it if you wanted to be taken seriously.
I'm really, really, really sorry. And I know, too, I'm making a mountain out of a bloody molehill.
I just don't see why British, for example, is okay, but using small amounts of German is verboten and using small amounts of (correct) Japanese makes you a weeaboo.
I get it. I totally get it. I'll go back through my posts and edit them. I'm sorry.
It's peering into another culture, saying "ooh, shiny!" and taking something without any regard for the context and culture in which it came from. Borrowing a word is very minor compared to, say, appropriating aboriginal art, but it's the same idea.
You've been asked to stop doing this. Repeatedly. Furthermore, you have said that you would stop it.
And yet you have not.
The way I see it, you aren't respecting the wishes of others. Additionally, you appear to be complaining about how you have offended somebody, and about how you've been asked to stop doing this.
The fact that you are ignoring what people have asked you to do, even after you have been asked multiple times is bad enough. What makes it worst is that you appear to be complaining in a highly passive-aggressive manner.
Please stop this.
... but it feels a bit like you're ganging up on her.
I realize that she is doing something that offends you, but you could try being a little bit more understanding. She has already said that she would stop, she is apologizing, and she is making an effort to proofread her posts better. She is being a bit passive-aggressive; but honestly, I would too, in her position.
It doesn't seem like she's ignoring you. She seems to be acknowledging your complaints and doing her best to fix her bad habit.
Yeah, sorry about butting in *slinks off back into lurkdom*
It's a... dunno, can I call it a dialect? Also, I don't know about others, but if a text switches between -re and -er, or o and ou isn't something you should do either.
Also, I'll let verboten slip because it has found its way into the English language as a loan word.
... 'the correct way of using the sharding language', of course. :P
(And on the spectrum of bad language use, where does Pernese cursing come in?)
hS, who also tends to throw in Eldarin, Tanith, and, yes, even German
... for completely ignoring what I said. That makes me totally feel welcome here, you know.
I'm really hurt right now, and answers like these don't make me feel any less depressed about the whole situation.
But hey, it's just me being stupid and bitchy again about unimportant stuff nobody cares about. It's not like anyone cares.
Carry on.
I was responding solely to EF's comment about British being a 'dialect' of English. Admittedly that didn't include a response to anything you've said anywhere, which could be considered ignoring, but in that case I was also ignoring everyone else.
hS, confused now
FlareShard, would you please elaborate on why you were saying that?
I'm not sure what the 'whole situation' is either, and without any context it looks really like that was a random attack at hS.
I'm not saying that it necessarily was, because most things do have a reason, but would you please explain? Neither I or Huinesoron, or anyone else for that matter want you to feel unwelcome here or like we don't care (though, I must say, I can only really speak for myself here, but no doubt hS strongly agrees with that sentiment.)
-July, concerned.
I'm still too angry and depressed to write rationally, and I'm sorry for directing my emotions at hS. He doesn't have anything to do with it. Or at least, he's not the reason why I'm so upset.
It's just that I feel that nobody really cares about why I feel that way, and that I'm pretty much on my own with my opinion.
When you are able to write rationally, I would like to know what's going on, okay?
I was speaking fangirl!German again. FS was calling me out on it. I, being ornery, said I didn't see why fannish British was okay, but fannish German wasn't. A rather long, drawn-out argument ensued.
When you get into arguments like this. Listen to us going at it.
Okay. I still don't get it, but okay. Since it offends you so much, I'll stop.
... *smh*

This is most likely not the address you wanted to post.
was distinctly Pratchett-esque, and actually quite useful, as I've never really understood the Reorganisation.
That Battle sounded epic.
This is... actually remarkably convenient. I've had plans for a Puella Magi and a Majo Shoujo (yes, I am perfectly aware that that may not be real Japanese. The CAD in that particular story thought it had a sense of humor)pair of agents who worship Kaname Madoka, Concept of Hope, savior of the Puella Magi. My original plan was for one of them to have three Madoka Figmas in Her three forms set up in a little shrine, but this new temple thing works really well, too.
In fact, it can also have some fun potential, such as her getting weird looks for those not into Madokaism.
I'm thinking about making Nikki a Madokaist too, and Agent!Sergio will surely replace "for Haruhi's sake" (used exactly once. He's not into calling gods, but he was in a falling plane at the time) and similars with "for Madoka's sake" and similars.
Expecially since calling out Haruhi was nothimg more than a shout out, while Madoka's actually got all of his respect.
The one he respects the most is Homura, though. They have a lot in common.
(By the way, the shrine I was after in my previous post was Madoka's. Probably a conseguence of the fact I rewatched the last episode today, as it was being aired this morning in Italian for the first time.)
If we want to worship a canon of which no CIC is avaible, what should we do?
And the Generic Room link doesn't work. It links to Legal instead.
... now.
Well, you have multiple options there. For instance, you could use the Generic Prayer Room. Or you could... not.
hS, silly
