ermm infodump about knux's fists under the cut

I'm probably missing something here, but I always found it kind of strange how some artists will depict Knuckles without gloves as having these spurs on his hands. I guess that is quite a literal and straight forward way of representing the shapes of his gloves, and I don't think there's anything wrong or incorrect about this depiction (especially if it actually showed up in cannon somewhere and I just didn't see it), but personally I don't see it that way.

I always kind of figured that those two little points were meant to be something that he was concealing underneath his gloves rather than something that is a part of his body.

My logic being... The gloves he wears are boxing gloves. Boxing gloves are meant to soften the impact of a punch so that you don't kill your opponent or otherwise seriously mess them up while participating in the sport. Knuckles was introduced as an antagonist who later on became a good guy, right. So I kind of figured that the reason he had shapes under his boxing gloves (which are supposed to be for fairness's sake) are because he's 'cheating'. Putting something heavy or even dangerous underneath or around your boxing gloves can negate the softening effect and cause even worse damage to your opponent.

His tribe is called the Knuckles tribe. He's named Knuckles because he's the last one. I figured his tribe was called the Knuckles tribe because they specialized so well in hand-to-hand combat that the weapons they developed and were known to use were brass knuckles. I figured that's what he was hiding under there, and that's why I draw him without the boxing gloves, fully exposing weapon that has been hidden underneath his gloves this whole time.

(I like to draw them hanging on his side when not in use so his hands are free to grab stuff.)

So I guess in summary, I kind of figured it was meant to convey the message that Knuckles can and does fight dirty. We continue to see that he will resort to underhanded techniques here and there, even if they've become less frequent with time. (Most recent example I can think of is when he threw a rock at the last robot standing in the Frontiers Prologue)

To me, conveying them as random spurs (something echidnas don't really have) feels a bit too literal and loses some flavour. Also I like decorating the iron knuckles to have aztec serpents carved into them or something, as if maybe they belonged to his father or he uncovered them from the ruins on Angel Island or something. It adds some culture and history to his character that I really like.

Here’s an LONG ASF infodump about the CPPS I play! The name is Club Penguin Dimensions, my current hyperfixation!

I know how to recognize more than 21 different ciphers to help my friends solve enigmas and such, because playing a Brazilian Club Penguin Private Server moderated by nerds and Gravity Falls fans, I don’t get the privilege of just being casually interested in Club Penguin anymore…

For reference, the guy called CDPI is Raul, a character controlled by the admins and is kinda like our very own Cucurucho… He appears randomly in parties or missions or even hangouts when the server is active (kinda rare because the community is very small but it can happen) and speaks in ciphers and morse code, usually giving us a tease about future events or what the CDPI (Council of The Interdimensional Penguins) has been up to…

There’s also a 125 pages long google docs about the lore (the code and deciphering part, not the actual history lore), it’s still unfinished and doesn’t contain all the codes, and the server has also been alive for only like- One year and a half? Crazy stuff. The list for all the codes that have been used in the game’s lore goes like this:

- Morse Code;

- Galactic Alphabet;

- EPF Secret Code;

- Hidden messages in an audio’s spectrogram;

- ASCII;

- Hidden messages if you edit and photoshop images by changing brightness, saturation and all;

- Braille;

- Nautic Signaling (I think that’s the name? Idk);

- Caesar Cipher;

- Author’s Cipher (from Gravity Falls);

- Steam games ID;

- Base 64;

- Bar Codes and QR Codes;

-!Links on Imgur;

- Binary Code;

- Decimal Binary Coding;

- Masonic Cipher;

- A1Z26 Cipher;

- Jefferson Cipher;

- And the most recent enigma also had Atbash Cipher.

We also got like- 4 Exclusive mascots! Well, one of them is kinda “side character turned mascot”, but you get my point!

Here’s Angie

She’s the newbie working at Club Penguin News, and she’s known for being energetic sunshine and a conspiracy theorist nut! She can go on and on about gnomes for hours and is very passionate about gossiping. Just a cutie pie!

Next we have Bambadee!

Yes! This IS Bambadee! The one guy from the Stowaway Story? So, he went through a bit of a redesign, and his story also went a bit different than his original counterpart… After his first encounter with Rockhopper, he became a part of the Migrator’s crew, constantly adventuring with Rockhopper and Yarr and residing in Rockhopper Island when they’re not out in the seas…

And since he’s confirmed he’s an orphan after bawling his eyes out after someone asked if he has parents in one of his meetups, I headcanon that he sees the captain as a father figure. Bambadee is like- My 2nd favorite mascot, he’s very kind and gentle, but always has a brave attitude that inspires and captivates others. He also has a very strong sense of justice, being very protective of his friends… He’s also canonically in the aromantic spectrum.

Here we got Sunny Morinson!

Sunny is the coolest- A very skilled and dedicated EPF agent that may be one’s of the agency’s best assets. She’s very calm and collected, usually appearing to guide us through EPF missions or to just chill in the coffee shop- She’s a proper coffee addict, works as barista, her best friend is G Billy, and she hangs out with the Penguin Band in the downtime… All the artworks for her events are so pretty istg I love her…

Now, this next guy right here is Guido

Guido is a nice, but overall very mysterious guy. He’s an icon here in Brazil since he’s probably the first brazil exclusive mascot ever created (back when Club Penguin Brasil was still alive), but anyways, he’s and interdimensional traveler and uses his clock to do so, he’s friendly but very lonely, also has the tendency to being shy in front of thera and just being very reserved. He’s also a pretty big deal in the lore, as in the story, when the og island was fated to die along with everyone that didn’t migrate to Club Penguin Island, Guido along with Gary and Rory created a portal to the new island. Guido also has some connections with interdimensional gods and creatures, with me personally theorizing he’s got some secret connections with >v>

And last, we got Ettore Salvaore!

This guy… Is a lot-

Think of Stanford from Gravity Falls but if he was greedy, that’s Ettore. He’s and EPF agent, Gary’s main assistant, a genius in his own right, owner of the PuffleBerry Mall, loves theater and plays and is a time travel fanatic. He’s very morally grey in his actions having caused two disasters in the island because of his power-hungry tendencies. He summoned Scorn after stealing Guido’s clock for time traveling shenanigans at the Medieval Party and made a deal with Box Cipher (yeaa Summerween event was WILD), got possessed in the process and almost destroyed the whole island till the EPF rescued him. He’s kind of an asshole but one of my favs with how charming and elegant he can be while being total boyfailure material lol (he’s also canonically bi)

And those were the exclusive characters! They appear on the island periodically along with other mascots, and also worth noting that Rory is a mascot and the Penguin Band very fleshed out characters and motives in here-

Also noticed how we have a lot of LGBTQ+ characters? Yea we got a gay dimension with a gay catalogue too, accessible through the Box Dimensions main room. It’s very pretty!

This post is already getting pretty long and Tumblr has a limit of pictures apparently, so I’ll just give these fun facts and wrap this up-

- The mods like showcasing the relationships between the characters, so the mascots make reference to their friends all the time and also appear in groups for major events like (Penguin Band + Angie), (Rockhopper + Bambadee), (Dot + Sunny + Rookie + Stompin’ Bon) for example;

- There are constant additions of codes that can give you all sorts of outfits for your penguin. I personally love using the spiderman clothes or wolverine costume when I’m not rocking the dino hoodie;

- Jetkie is heavily implied canon;

- Club Penguin Dimensions has a version of Bill Cipher called Box Cipher, he’s been promised to return ever since his appearance last year at the Summerween event, where he caused chaos among the island and caused a bunch of interdimensional ruckus (FNAF animatronics and The Mystery Shack and a final boss after the 6 EPF missions you had to do in this party made it my favorite original content of Club Penguin Dimensions ever);

- There’s this one artist that always manages to sneak in a Sonic referencein the arta he makes for the game- Last I checked, the shape of Sonic was foind in Stompin’ Bob’s background art for the Teen Beach Movie event and as a pin in Guido’s bag these last few months;

- There’s a crew of content creators that go live and do videos on Club Penguin Dimensions and it’s lore and events, they’re called “Cream Soda”;

- In March 2024, an original part called “A Cabotagem” happened where Bambadee came to Club Penguin to recruit help in his search for the missing Captain Rockhopper, and after weeks of exploring different islands with Bambadee in the Migrator, we found out the Captain was kidnapped! With an animation called “ O Sequestro de Rockhopper - A Grande Revelação” being released a few months after explaining how the Captain was kidnapped and why, pretty cool stuff.

Anyways, I think that’s it for now. If there’s anyone actually reading this, just know that all I said didn’t cover half of the plot, and if you have any questions about it, feel free to use my ask box, I’m so sad that there’s not a lot of brazilians on tumblr, especially after twitter died, I could talk about these penguins for hours lol

TO MY TWO MUTUALS WHO CARED, THIS IS FOR YOU!!!!!!!!

I made a Google doc abt it but I don't feel like copy and pasting the whole thing, so screenshots it is,,,

I just think yugi going absolute critter brained within a mile of water is just very funny to me. Also it would be more accurate in this au for slifer to be the guardian of the sea instead. ra can fill the sky portion

Also do you know how fucking round warbling white eyes are??? and remember how ra has a sphere form? It was intentional

As for obelisk, the tosa inu just gave me yugioh energy when I was researching dog breeds from japan

Also here's the two animals I was talking abt

Anyway infodump over time to frolic about it in my mind

Guys would you love me if I infodumped about my dragon yugi au 🥺 🥺 🥺

Had an ~idea~

A pokemon species that has a gender ratio of 100% / 0% does still have pokemon in the 0% one.

Just.

Until they realize theyr trans.

I don't think people realize how absolutely wild Linux is.

Here we have an Operating system that now has 100 different varieties, all of them with their own little features and markets that are also so customizable that you can literally choose what desktop environment you want. Alongside that it is the OS of choice for Supercomputers, most Web servers, and even tiny little toy computers that hackers and gadget makers use. It is the Operating System running on most of the world's smartphones. That's right. Android is a version of Linux.

It can run on literally anything up to and including a potato, and as of now desktop Linux Distros like Ubuntu and Mint are so easily to use and user friendly that technological novices can use them. This Operating system has had App stores since the 90s.

Oh, and what's more, this operating system was fuckin' built by volunteers and users alongside businesses and universities because they needed an all purpose operating system so they built one themselves and released it for free. If you know how to, you can add to this.

Oh, and it's founder wasn't some corporate hotshot. It's an introverted Swedish-speaking Finn who, while he was a student, started making his own Operating system after playing around with someone else's OS. He was going to call it Freax but the guy he got server space from named the folder of his project "Linux" (Linus Unix) and the name stuck. He operates this project from his Home office which is painted in a colour used in asylums. Man's so fucking introverted he developed the world's biggest code repo, Git, so he didn't have to deal with drama and email.

Steam adopted it meaning a LOT of games now natively run in Linux and what cannot be run natively can be adapted to run. It's now the OS used on their consoles (Steam Deck) and to this, a lot of people have found games run better on Linux than on Windows. More computers run Steam on Linux than MacOS.

On top of that the Arctic World Archive (basically the Svalbard Seed bank, but for Data) have this OS saved in their databanks so if the world ends the survivors are going to be using it.

On top of this? It's Free! No "Freemium" bullshit, no "pay to unlock" shit, no licenses, no tracking or data harvesting. If you have an old laptop that still works and a 16GB USB drive, you can go get it and install it and have a functioning computer because it uses less fucking resources than Windows. Got a shit PC? Linux Mint XFCE or Xubuntu is lightweight af. This shit is stopping eWaste.

What's more, it doesn't even scrimp on style. KDE, XFCE, Gnome, Cinnamon, all look pretty and are functional and there's even a load of people who try make their installs look pretty AF as a hobby called "ricing" with a subreddit (/r/unixporn) dedicated to it.

Linux is fucking wild.

HEY

Tell me all about your Star Wars OC's/Self-inserts. Give me the lore, the headcanons, the tea, all of it! But expect me to do the same.

Info dump to me cause I love it but don't be a dick about it. ❤️

Shoutout to Whitty for being the superior romantic f/o

Granted, Whitty has actually been my f/o for a year but it’s close to 2 years! And he has been on my side ever since without faltering. Heads up I’m gonna infodump about this!!

You know those Undertale fans, who as they become older, accidentally get back into the fandom and simp for any of the skeletons all over again and stay there usually fixating on x reader fanfics with any of the sans/papyrus? Yea I was one of them, however what I didn’t know, is that it wasn’t going to last long.

I really thought I was like everyone else and Papyrus was the one for me because for the longest time, whenever I simped for fictional characters, I never actually shipped them with ME/MYSELF even when reading fanfics. The only time that I ever felt that way was with Marvin the Martian or any crushes from around 2017 but that just kinda stopped?? And then whenever I simped for characters it was just putting an oc with them.

Around early 2021, like during online class, I started to ship Papyrus with ocs and then with my selfinserts and then MYSELF like how Alligatia level of myself. I truly thought I loved Papyrus (specifically Swapfell) and then. Oh no, FNF CAME AROUND. I had interacted a few times, later on made my fnf x undertale crossover and then it was finally around the time of the end of the school year that I self shipped with Whitty.

—-

Look where we are now. I’m now demigirlflux nonbinary and aceflux and have a Whitty plushie.

What I’m saying is Whitty is my biggest comfort character and will always be my top f/o right beside GF who was actually the first FNF character I simped for and loved.

I also made this because of a trend and credit to Taco Meme on YT for that funny ass MMD.

Imma use this as an opportunity to talk about one of my favorite creatures from Celtic mythology: the kelpie

(All of this is copied and pasted from my notes app 😇)

Now the kelpie is a shapeshifting water spirit that is usually found near like streams and rivers and I think other bodies of fresh water; it usually takes the form of a horse but is capable of taking on other shapes such as that of an old woman or a man. The thing that gives the kelpie’s identity away is the fact that the kelpie is perpetually wet and cold with waterweeds in its hair or mane. When in horse form the kelpie is known for luring weary travelers to ride it; once they get on its back the kelpie then takes off into the nearest body of water, the rider, who is now stuck to the kelpie, is forced underwater by the kelpie and eventually end up drowning, after the victim is dead the kelpie eats them. If a victim ends up on the back of a kelpie one way they can prevent their death is to grab its bridle, this essentially gives the rider control.

I may or may not add more stuff to this though not specifically kelpie or folklore based, that or I might just do so on my page in general

Please info dump on this post!!

I know a lot of times people autistic/neurodivergent people feel like they have to apologize for their interests and I want to help change that.

I genuinely want to hear about your interests! I want to hear the "fun facts" and the lore of really specific media. Don't shy away from including details, you can write out a whole essay and I'll read every word. Just share about something you like unapologetically!

Uhh I’m gonna use this as an excuse to infodump about graphs and fractals and how those two combined help me reason about everything from artistic composition to neural networks to psychology to neuroscience to quantum physics to distributed systems to astrophysics to etc etc etc. I’m calling this theory the:

Fractal theory of Everything

And I’ll probably post a lot of #looooonnnggggg posts about it under the tag “#fractal theory of everything” if you wanna adjust your filters accordingly. This is just the intro post to explain the theory. Actually using this theory to explain everything will be the posts which follow this one.

Graphs Approximating Fractals: a model for anything intelligent

Graphs Approximating Fractals: a model for anything intelligent Graph Approximating Fractals: Think of everything as a graph of nodes where

Imagine everything as a bunch of nodes (cities, people, classrooms, photons, tumblr users, etc) connected by edges (roads, friendships, paths, quantum strings, followers, etc). This representation is called a graph and you might be familiar with it (looking at who follows me) from math and/or computer science.

This representation of a graph is useful because sometimes a large enough graph is self-similar at multiple scales, meaning when you look at like 100 nodes it looks about the same as when you look at 100k nodes. See percolation which shows why magnets stop working when they get too hot or too cold.

I argue that any graph with meaningful data (meaning not all noise and not all uniform) is an approximation of an n-dimensional fractal. As the graph approaches a more and more accurate approximation of a fractal the data becomes more and more meaningful.

Applied to explain the Double Slit Experiment (one of many applications of this model I've thought of so far)

If you assume that energy is finite (change in the momentum of objects over time) then you start to think about how the universe could possibly exist with its near endless complexity (see fractal graphs from above with their complexity).

My conclusion from energy being finite is that adding a new particle to the universe must scale at most linearly, otherwise adding more particles would make the universe quickly use way too much energy way too fast. Think about a universe where every particle collides to some small degree with every other particle. If you add one more particle to a 2 particle universe then you’ve added 2 more collision checks which is not so bad, right? However, if you add one more particle to a 100 particle universe then you’ve added 100 more particle checks. It becomes obvious that if energy is finite then this is a massive waste of energy for very little increase in scale of our universe. Since intelligent life which can reason about stuff like this can only exist in a sufficiently large universe, there’s a bit of a survivorship bias in that we must live within a universe which scales linearly at worst in order for us to be able to reason about all this, assuming energy is limited.

Since the universe must scale linearly, each particle can only “talk to” the top X most important particles around it for each “update frame” of the universe. (Time is weird though because the universe kind of slows down fast moving objects and my theory is that fast moving objects get more frames compared to slower moving objects but this is even more speculative and hazy than the rest of this infodump. There’s also some weird time shenanigans with looking back through time - see double slit experiment).

Having each particle only talk to their X most important neighbors means that the universe can scale linearly since every particle doesn’t have to talk to every other particle anymore (yay!).

However, limiting the number of edges each particle has also has ramifications in quantum behavior (behavior of particles on a quantum level or dealing with 1 to 100 particles rather than billions).

Basically when a particle only has a few other particles near it in spacetime it’s as though that particle has a weak GPS signal and the particle ends up moving in ways it shouldn’t because the particle only has a few friends to orient itself with. I theorize that the double slit behavior seen with a laser beam entering two slits is due to that particle having to guess where and when it is in spacetime based on the very few particles around it (see math theory of multilateration).

Therefore since the particle can't orient itself it has to guess where it is using probability and some sort of pseudorandom process. This creates the wave pattern seen in the double slit experiment.

honestly getting infodumped to is like. dreamy

there's nothing that melts me more than just hearing someone be passionate about something. And if someone has hurt you in the past and makes you reluctant to fuckin completely go off on the expanded canon of the X-Files or whatever, I'm gonna hit them in the head with a big mallet. You're adorable, show it. Please

i know i’m not very active here and just. lurk. but

T H I S .

Literally this post summarizes my exact thoughts.

There was so little content of The Wall! It was so disappointing! And I’m not just saying this because I run a blog; The fact that we had so little attention of the Wall legit upsets me! Listen, I love the Toppat Clan with all my heart, but having more content for The Wall would be slightly preferred imo

The Wall is home to two of my favourite characters- The amount of lore we could have had with The Wall would’ve given so much to work with! We basically know nothing about Dmitri, Grigori- Nobody! Like,, wtf did Frosty do to get his ass trapped in jail? I Know it’s irrelevant but I wanna know!

We have enough information about most of the Toppats to at least know what personality they have, which jokes they work with and don’t work with, a comprehensive backstory we can piece together through lingering lore pieces, yadda yadda...but wtf do you know about The Wall? Basically nothing! Why is Dmi’s reputation so important to him? What even is the backstory of The Wall to begin with? Who ran The Wall before Dmitri? We get that with the Toppat Clan- In fact, we are literally shown each former leader through pictures and given information about them through bios! We get nothing with Dmi and it makes me SAD.

Don’t even get me started with how badly Grigori —unironically my secound favourite character in the who series— got treated!

Where were his L I N E S-

Mans LITERALLY had no voice acting in CtM- I Don’t know why I care so much, but I do-

Just give The Wall the representation it needs- My only reference for these fuckers is the fandom and child I-

Man.

Sorry for the rant I’m very passionate about these things-

The Wall should’ve played a bigger role in Completing the Mission: An analysis/infodump/rant that’s honestly longer than it should be

Hello dear subscribers I am here today to talk about not only my disappointment regarding how little we see of The Wall in Completing the Mission, but to analyze what could’ve been a really intriguing character and a perfect foil for Henry (in a different way than Ellie).

Part 1: Dmitri Johannes Petrov, a break in the genre

What makes Dmitri appealing as a character (to me at least) is much different than what makes other characters in The Henry Stickmin Collection appealing. What makes other characters in THSC so appealing?

Sometimes it’s their generally goofy or otherwise lighthearted personalities

Or a humorous element of an otherwise serious character.

Sometimes it’s an unexpected facet of a character that’s rarely shown to others.

However, none of the humorous elements that we love other Henry Stickmin characters for apply to Dmitri.

Relative to other characters, Dmitri is very serious in tone, such that trying to imagine him in a humorous scenario doesn’t feel fitting to his character. We don’t see him involved in any of Henry’s humorous gags, or even any of his own. Even Grigori, his second-in-command, has his humorous moments.

While it can be easily argued that this makes Dmitri’s personality stale in comparison to other characters, I’d argue the opposite. Dmitri’s serious no-nonsense tone makes for a very interesting foil to Henry–not just for how he behaves, but how he forces Henry (and others) to behave.

Part 2: More on Dmitri

So, we know that Dmitri is a serious character, beyond what we normally see. This no-nonsense attitude of his is reflected in how he talks to other people.

While he maintains some level of respect with Grigori (at least as far as we know from what little interaction we see between them), he’s much ruder to lower ranking employees at The Wall.

What else do we know about Dmitri?

Remember when I said that characters in THSC are often made more appealing because of a rarely seen side of them? This actually applies to Dmitri as well, but in a more subtle way than the examples above.

In Dmitri’s case, this “rarely seen side” to him is how much he cares about his reputation. He gets irritable at other members of The Wall when it gets threatened, as shown above. However, when Henry and Ellie escape and release the other convicts, he expresses to Henry just how serious it is to him–in a notably quieter voice than usual.

He takes his reputation very, very seriously, to the point of becoming vengeful if it’s damaged. In Completing the Mission, he ignores the entire Toppat Clan (and another government) to focus on Henry and Ellie.

It even drives him to desperation at the end of Toppat Recruits, being the source of his most memorable quote (and last words).

Yet, even with his apparent concern about maintaining his reputation and his anger when Henry and Ellie get in the way of that, we only get to see him in one route in Completing the Mission. (Okay, technically 2 but Pardoned Pals and Toppat Recruits are different endings branching off the same route.) These same motives could’ve put him as an antagonist in other routes branching off of Convict Allies.

Part 3: Grigori Olyat

Yet another reason I wish The Wall got incorporated more actually has to do with Dmitri’s second-in-command, Grigori. Despite being the secondary antagonist of Fleeing the Complex, we actually know very little about Grigori.

First of all, what is his relationship with Dmitri like? Is their relationship strictly work-related, or does it go deeper than that? Is it a friendly, fulfilling relationship for both of them, or is there some level of toxicity on one or both sides?

Stepping away from Dmitri, does Grigori have anyone else at the Wall that he considers close, or at the very least is on good terms with? Or do other employees at The Wall avoid him? Does he have anyone outside of the Wall that he’s friends with?

Out of the major characters in THSC, Grigori is easily the one we have the least information on, and even Toppat Recruits/Pardoned Pals does nothing to expand on his character.

Even with how little we see of Grigori, there are still noticeable differences that we can see between him and Dmitri. For one, Henry is still allowed to be his goofy self around Grigori, as long as Dmitri isn’t also present.

It’s also likely that Grigori is younger or less experienced working at the wall than Dmitri is, given that he’s unfamiliar with the protocol for dead inmates.

Also, accurate to his bio, Grigori is much more skilled with combat (and he’s even pretty acrobatic with it).

Whether Grigori and Dmitri’s relationship is positive, negative, or strictly work-related, these differences would’ve made for an interesting dynamic.

Part 4: The Lore

The lore surrounding The Wall could honestly be its own series of posts. But this post is honestly long enough as it is, so I’ll briefly summarize some of the more interesting aspects off the top of my head.

Multiple employees at The Wall are armed with spears that can blast lasers that instantly disintegrate any person they touch.

One employee was apparently hiding the fact that he’s an earth bender.

One of the inmates is an actual alien. This is never expanded upon.

There’s an unknown history between The Wall and the Toppat Clan, which has resulted in at least one locked up Toppat (probably more) and two undercover Toppats working at The Wall: Wallace Pemberton and Gordon Smith. Wallace Pemberton is confirmed to be loyal to the Toppats, but it’s unknown whether Smith is also a spy or whether he’s a double agent for The Wall.

So, with all that out of the way, and with this post having sat in my drafts for almost a month now, I hope this suffices for an explanation of why I wish The Wall had gotten more attention.

you'd think that people in the Alan Walker Cinematic Universe would be a little more skeptical. but instead they're like "oh they're funding the archaeological excavations!! they're collaborating with the US Government to rebuild humanity after the solar storm, they can't be that bad!!1!"

mate: they're literally called Red Nexus

that's like the most evil-corporation-sounding name of all time.

"yeah after my major, history-rewriting archaeological discoveries i will be taking funding from the Evil Science Laboratory that does Unethical Experiments (and also held my old professor in captivity)"

- Statements dreamed up by the Utterly Deranged

and guess when they were founded??

in nineteen-eighty-fucking-four -- year of our lord Jor Jor Wel!!! wake UP sheeple they're going to brainwash you all (and do other bad things presumably)
