Eighth Fear: The Manufactured Newborn

Oh man, I missed this. I missed writing.

I MISSED YOU GUYS. <3

I hate the holidays. Well, I don't HATE THEM hate them, I just get super stressed out and I tend to overbook myself and I go crazy pretty bad. Lots of fun to be had by all. :D I like spending time with friends and family and presents and food and stuff, I just can't stand the amount of stress that comes with all that crap.

Plus, found out a couple days ago the county forgot to mail me a household report form. Yeah, because I get state assistance for not working and being a single mom, I have to report my income (or lack thereof) and assets (again, or lack thereof) and such. Blahblahblahpaperwork. But because they forgot to send it to me at the end of last month, because it was all kinds of fucked up for November (my old work didn't want to fill out the termination verification shits), they didn't send it out. So I never got it. So I never sent it in.

To which they sent me a letter saying "Well, hey, since you didn't send in this paperwork we're supposed to send you every month, your assistance is gonna go bye-bye! Merry Christmas!"

I got it all straightened out. My worker, Lori, is bomb. She's really sweet and loves Danny to pieces. Just like every worker we've had. :) Seriously, who DOESN'T love Danny?? It's those cheeks, I tell ya.

So yeah, got the paperwork filled out, sealed in an envelope and stamped, ready to go out tomorrow.

... Does the mail run tomorrow? o_O

Description
This is one of my personal favorites. :3

We're just gonna call it MF for short. I'm a lazy bitch. :D

MF is a cool Fear, because it's technological. It starts out as a small mechanical trinket (most common object I've read is a pocket watch, though I assume it's not limited in it's small-trinketry) that someone will find or come into possession of. And then it goes SHLOOOOOOOOOOP and sucks up other stuff to make itself bigger and bigger (hehe, BIGGERING AND BIGGERING!) until it's gained enough mass to rip open a temporal rift in the fabric of reality to its realm, where it...

Some reports say it floats up into the rift, some say it just disappears, so I don't know exactly what it does. But it goes bye-bye.

Now, I should clarify a bit; MF can absorb organic material. Like a dog, or a bird, or a baby.

Yeah, I read a report once of it actually absorbing someone's baby. And then I sniffled.

... I have a hard time with scary/shocking/sad stories of children. I blame motherhood.

I don't exactly understand how it effects people, though. I mean, yeah, it's kinda scary as fuck to have some freaky biomechanic thingamabob scurrying around your living room, but ... I dunno, I guess it's one of the few Fears I don't find extremely terrifying. It's more fascinating than anything. :3

Oh, and it has a FOS!

Fortress of Solitude: The Towering Realm
Yeah, nifty, right? x3

So, when MF opens that big rift in the sky and shit, DON'T LOOK AT IT. Seriously. Bad juju, yo. It'll make you lose your marbles.

Hehe, marbles...

But, if you're like me, and curiosity is just way too strong and you just have to look, you'd probably see something like this:

The Towering Realm is like, all dark and spooky and scary and shit. :D

I joke, I joke...

Getting back to business, MF's home is, like it says, a really big-ass tower. That's made up of all sorts of insane shit. Like cars, and metal thingies, and ORGANS... Think a fucked up version of The Matrix? That's the best way I can describe it without getting all artsy-fartsy on you.

I don't know if I explained MF very well for you here, but I can always answer questions and stuff, if you have any.

Ooh, is that a Tamagachi? :O

I'm so glad I finally got around to doing this. :) Though, my mood just went crashing down. Buddy got one of Danny's new toys.

...

Gonna have me a new throw pillow pretty damn quick if the fuckin' dog doesn't stop eating my son's toys. ._.

My mom had gotten Danny this:
He loves it. When you put the little safari dude in his spot, the jeep thingy makes noises and shit. His favorite thing to do is put all the pieces in the back, close the little door, then fling the jeep across the carpet. :D <3

BUDDY ATE THE LION.

WTF IS WITH THIS FUCKING DOG AND LIONS?!?!?!

If my mom finds out this happened, she is going to kill him. She already warned my aunt of this, and if she goes to that length on anything, she's srs.

Dat mama vry srs. o_o;

My aunt and I are gonna go to Walmart later and see if we can't just get another lion. I don't think Danny will notice anyway, my mom got him a barnyard by the same company so the animals are pretty much the same, and he doesn't care who goes where in what. He just likes to play.

Oh, I got the cutest video of my dad with Danny yesterday! MAYBE, IF I'M LUCKY, YOUTUBE WILL STOP HATING ON ME AND I CAN UPLOAD IT??? :O That'd be sweet. We'll see.

I'm gonna go have me some cancer, and go back to reading Rapture. I'm here, at 3:20 AM. And I can honestly say, I am extremely enthralled by this story. I BETTER NOT REACH THE "END" BEFORE IT'S FINISHED OR I WILL SRSLY HAVE TO CRY. D: Or fly to England and beat up a boy. Whichever suits my mood.

Now to finger out this damn webcam... How do these things work?!?!?

    You make me smile. I'm glad you hold my opinion so highly! That makes me happy. :) I'm still away from home, at Danny's paternal grandparent's house. I'll be home tomorrow. New post then. <3

  3. Well, I'm glad you're glad about it! :D I look forward to your new posts. It's my birthday today (that is, January 2nd) and as my present I decided to give everyone else a present by releasing some Rapture logs. Not one log, not two logs, not even three logs, but SEVEN. Yes, I posted seven long Rapture logs on my birthday. Altogether, this single update was longer than Lovecraft's Call of Cthulhu, and a lot longer than most Fear/slenderblogs tend to be!
    ..yet Rapture is still not finished and there are still at least fifteen/sixteen logs to go. So when you catch up, I'm.. still gonna die. ^^;;; All my offers for chores and sandwiches and ass-kissing still apply!

    1. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
      HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
      HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR JORDAN
      HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

      ^_^ I love birthdays. Danny's is on the 13th and mine is on the 29th of this month. I'm so excited, he's gonna be a whole year old. :O He's getting so big so fast! I still remember the day he was born.

      ...

      Well, okay, I remember some of it. :3 I was pretty doped up on that epidural thing. Sciatic nerve and shit. Not fun, yo. And he was so little... All itty bitty teeny weenie... <3 I kinda miss it. Makes me want another baby so bad.

      But that would be bad juju. Gotta wait til I'm married and the dad can't run away. :D

      I'm on the September 9th post now. Couldn't read while I was gone; silly me forgot my iPod charger at home. So instead I watched all the Marble Hornets videos with my friend Taco! And we screamed so freaking loud! xD We're both chickens, but at least we were able to be chickens together. Oh man. I gotta admit, watching the ones I'd already seen with her was probably the best fun I'd had in a long time. They're not nearly as scary the second time around! There was a lot of finger-peeking though. :3 AND THEN I GOT TO PLAY LEGEND OF ZELDA: SKYWARD SWORD! And it is gaujuzz. :Q.. Oh man. I love Zelda games so freaking much, and I've never owned a Wii, so they let me play and play and play... I left off in Lanayru Desert. SHIT'S HARD! Ermahgerd. Then I got in a debate with Giz about the Hyrule timeline, and then I got to watch Fantastic Mr. Fox (great movie, highly recommend), and then I got to driiiiink.

      Peppermint schnapps + hot cocoa + Redi-Whip = omgdelicious

      Ever tried playing Zelda drunk?

      ._. Is not easy.

      I plan on posting on the Blind Man later, after Danny wakes up from his nap and we have a snack. I've had to change his schedule around again, so I'm still working out the kinks, but I think that'll work out well. And don't worry about dying, plane tickets to England aren't cheap. :P Though you're welcome to come over here and babysit. Danny doesn't bite (too hard), and he loves new faces. Especially boys. He's always been around me and my old roommate (girl) and his aunt, so boy faces are interesting to him. Mainly beards. He likes to yank on those. lol

      I will say this though: boot-kissing > ass-kissing. Unless I need a chair. :P

    2. ALSO: Taco wanted me to say that she wants to get into the Fear stuff and was wondering what blog she should read first. I don't even remember the first one I read, so I couldn't think of what to tell her. Any suggestions?

      SECOND ALSO: I see you has AOL. I has AOL. We should chats. :D As soon as I DL the damn thingy to the desktop, because my iPod's too old to run the new app. :(

    3. What blog to read first, what a question! It all depends on what you think she might like. Personally, I have a tendency to push Rapture to be one of the first stories people read since it uses as many Fears as possible, AND it's a great example of how open our mythos is to new canons and interpretations! It's a good solid tour.

      BUT OTHER THAN RAPTURE, this is what I would suggest: http://thefearmythos.wikia.com/wiki/Beginner%27s_Guide_to_the_Mythos
