The fact that Scientology was invented by a science fiction author as part of a bet with a friend to see who could get more people to follow their fake religion, and then didn't stop when lots of people started taking it seriously, seems like something the God of Excess would get off on. {= P

It was probably Tzeentch's idea, though.

The lore behind the whole Scientology thing sounds more like post-Slaanesh Eldar than Genestealer Cults, to be fair.

It occurred to me it would make an entertaining addition to the Rule 34 page. I understand if you'd rather not, though. {= )

"I'm from the Alex Rider 'verse. Also Australia. Henry's a Potterverse wizard."

"I mean, sort of," Henry said. "I was rescued as a little baby, and Ian was just three when 'Raen rescued him, so we're mostly from Headquarters. It's pretty different from everywhere. No kings, no wars, no nothing exciting, really." From his expression it was clear that he chafed just a bit at his circumstances.

not to mention proper music to go with it. He was glad he hadn't said so.

At Thoth's question, he smiled grimly. "You don't want to get me started on that. Not right now, anyway. We'd be here all night, and no one else has the transhuman patience necessary to listen to me rattle on for that long. Why don't we return to an earlier topic? Ix, you're Westley from The Princess Bride, aren't you? I don't think we've made Thoth watch that one yet, but it's up there with the Pythons in the echelons of required canon, or so I was led to believe. Would you like to tell us about the character?" He made the question as gently inviting as possible.

Gall's grin stretched wide. This could be fun. "Hmm... if you liked that... looks like there's some hot wings over here. Wanna test out your spice tolerance?"

(( For the record, I spent a lot of time between posts coming up with screeds on the topic of so-called "popular" "dance" music, so this is not me avoiding the topic. This is Derik remembering how to conduct a polite conversation as he would have been required to do as a Harper and a Wingleader. ˆ_~ ))

Yeah I've seen that one kicking around the interwebs. And honestly, at least before the Star-Children 'grace' us with their presence they don't try to make off with all our money and turn our family against us.

At least Scientology will only eat us metaphorically.

Accurate honestly. Although ironically Genestealer cults are only about half as evil as the Church of Scientology.

I remember all these questions. I think I DID finish the first time. Those three identical bars are for real.

This time around I tried harder to pick a yes or no answer over a neutral and got myself both a Pragmatism sticker and a hammer on my flag, and I guess I AM feeling more revolutionary this morning. {= P

Not sure how I've managed to keep reducing my Ecology score, though. That's not cool. I suspect it's a result of thinking all people deserve some sort of quality of life. But I wish there were a question about whether there ought to be so many bloody people, because if we could somehow convince ourselves to stop making more of us, I firmly believe things would be a lot better both for the environment AND ourselves. {= /

My results still seem pretty accurate, and it looks like I'm still easily the most nationalistic person on the board.

New quiz results

Popped back in and noticed the quiz. I remembered taking it some time ago, when I had a radically different view of things, so I thought I'd give it another go. Things have most definitely swung waaay to the left for me, which is reflective of a much less embittered, and more constructive, response to some very cynical worldviews.

I'm fairly proud.

This just feels right:

My flag looks terrible.

Disappointed, Chelsea’s smile faltered. “Still, that’s pretty cool. It actually sounds fun.”

"I frankly cannot see anything particularly good or bad about this—although it does seem to be distinct from your tastes, Derik."

"When holes tend to appear, where they go, interesting energy emissions, that sort of thing. It helps that I have access to a lot of data while on missions and in HQ."

A bit, kinda? I kinda completely failed to prepare at all in October, and when November finally rolled around I had to scramble to pick a story idea and decide what to do with it. Then when I finally made up mind I was forced to choose between fixing my sleep schedule and doing D&D stuff or NaNo, D&D won out.

I'm still in it, though! Just starting a week late, that's all. I've decided to try my hand at one of the novels I mentioned in the elevator pitch thread you posted a while back, The New London Paranatural Society. Featuring the adventures of a British army veteran, a young mad scientist with a certain distaste for gravity, a Scottish werewolf in a very fine waistcoat, and a cloth dragon named Patches, as they search for the anonymous head of the Society who has mysteriously fallen silent.

Have one of my own shed feathers and a complimentary kit of Spikes!
