So, hypothetically speaking, if I gave all the APS characters mommy issues, and then we did an APS x BRYZ crossover, Florence could be the Mom They Never Had (TM)?
... It's totally not that I'm gonna do that, but... you know, curiosity...
@The Yobanashi Girouette, my self-conscious new-to-worldbuilding self is very worried about how people will take that too :3 I feel like every other book usually puts some sort of thing like "[insert people] get benefits, and then [insert other group] get oppressed" or something. I feel like mine isn't gonna stand out.
But Codex is like... "Unless you do [insert certain things I can't exactly say yet b/c spoilers], you get oppressed, you measly piece of s--t."
IDK. In my eyes, it sounds dumb, but that could be because I wrote it.
@Cheeto, I mean, if you replace [certain thing] with towing the line and following whatever the news/government says, that sounds pretty similar to our current society LMAO
@The Yobanashi Girouette, those damn cliffhangers, amiright?
But, I mean, if you take away the quote-unquote "gui--------g," and all the bloody ma------s that happened throughout history, along with the to----e and imp--------t of Ex-------s (plus some other crap), then yeah, Codex is a lil' bit like our society :D
There. Now instead of cliffhangers, you just have censorship.
@The Yobanashi Girouette, the "tomatoes" of Ex[redacted]s? What? Lmao (because I know what all the censorships stand for, I just find the subsitution of "tomatoes" hilarious)
And yea that’s true I guess. It could be like an S-APS reference or something. *I don’t wanna say too much about superpowers in N-APS, but hooo boy, I can literally write an entire book on the origin. And I will, actually!*
And that’s what I’m saying! But nah, spent an hour hearing about Wattpadism-conversion…
@The Yobanashi Girouette, I'm always hesitant saying the s-word, but I feel stupid saying "crap." (I don't swear often, unless I'm writing, but then it's more like my characters are swearing, not me.) So I made up a new word. I'm wordifying my life in the weirdest way possible.
... It's totally not that I'm gonna do that, but... you know, curiosity...
But wait, APS characters having mommy issues instead of daddy issues? Is that legal? :P
… No, really, it’s becoming just a tiny bit of a problem—
(PS: I read that as “Florence is everything mommy” wth 💀)
And fine, I'll rephrase:
Florence is the people's mommy (^-^)d
(Also, APS’s Codex falls into the “daddy state” dystopia category, but is run by a mom, so… what does that mean? 🤔)
(And I mean hey, why not? Jiang Qing, Indira Gandhi, and Dowager Cixi proved that women can be just as good tyrants and dictators as men can X'D)
I am curious what the social structure of Codex is like though, compared to other dystopias.
But Codex is like... "Unless you do [insert certain things I can't exactly say yet b/c spoilers], you get oppressed, you measly piece of s--t."
IDK. In my eyes, it sounds dumb, but that could be because I wrote it.
Well then, yeah, Codex is a bit like our current society, with just some tweaks and adjustments that may or may not involve...
... Never mind..
But, I mean, if you take away the quote-unquote
"gui--------g," and all the bloody ma------s that happened throughout history, along with the to----e and imp--------t of Ex-------s (plus some other crap), then yeah, Codex is a lil' bit like our society :D
There. Now instead of cliffhangers, you just have censorship.
...really REALLY hoping to----e stands for tomato-something, like the tomatoes in S-APS lmao
But no, there are no tomatoes involved in N-APS.
But, well... tomatoes aren't really a cause for powers anymore so I think they'll just seem like random fruits to the APS characters
(Sorry for the late reply, someone tried to convert me to Wattpadism)
And yeah, but seeing as it's the virtual world, I could make magical tomatoes grant players a 3rd ability or something. I wanna fit them in SOMEwhere!
And oh no, not Wattpadism X'D I left that behind long ago
And yea that’s true I guess. It could be like an S-APS reference or something.
*I don’t wanna say too much about superpowers in N-APS, but hooo boy, I can literally write an entire book on the origin. And I will, actually!*
And that’s what I’m saying! But nah, spent an hour hearing about Wattpadism-conversion…
Also yikes, that's painful.
BRYZ: you eat ship crumbs like a bloodthirsty duck
APS: you eat lore crumbs like a bloodthirsty duck (and maybe a couple ship crumbs, IDK)
And yes. Pain.
Yknow what, I’ma meme it.
Not gonna put it up yet tho :/
But fair, might as well save it for the next BRYZ meme collection. Something for me to look forward to, anyway ^^
Oh yeah, since it includes both BRYZ and APS themes, I'm hella confused where to categorize it, lmao.
...
I feel old. Sorry :P
And yeah, you need just a "mixed memes" volume for that one XD
...
Shrap, that probably doesn't make you feel better-
SORRY!
Also, yeah, true. But then do I place the mixed memes post in the APS or Cheeto Blog?
....
I'm just gonna figure that one out on my own, because the answer's probably obvious and my dum brain just needs to think XD
Also, I would recommend the Cheeto blog, 'cause the APS one is specifically for APS, and the Cheeto one is more multi-purpose.
So I made up a new word. I'm wordifying my life in the weirdest way possible.
Also, yeah, that's probably a good idea :)
Love how we went from Florence and mommy issues to shrap.
There. You get a *little* piece of the puzzle. I think it's OK to reveal it...
You know what, never mind, I'll find out when I read it. :P
*I've said too much boy. Make sure nobody finds this comment section; you're lucky enough to have the top-secret info about APS so soon...*
I'm gonna try to put the Exelonians out of my head though, otherwise I won't sleep tonight thinking about it lmao
Have you found out what the redacted words are, or….? (Cause technically enough chapters have been released to piece it together lol)
…..You’re not wrong XD. (And sometimes I have the same assumptions as my characters lol.)
