(I saw some peeps calling me "Squiggly Line" back when I was an anon, and I was gonna go with "Wavy" instead, but Squig's just too fun to say~)
But yeah, I'm Squig~ Or Squiggly or Squiggle or that rude rando freak that keeps breaking the fourth wall~
Pronouns she/her, late-twenty-something, partially unemployed womanfailure slowly crawling her way out of her early mid-life crisis...
Life's a B, but so am I~
I'm a huge fan of ARGs!~ Have been since I was a teen~ I was there for the rise of some of the most classic unfiction projects on the internet!~ And now, I have my sights on a new one with HUGE potential!!~
The acting is realistic, the special effects are insane, there's like a dozen characters with fully fledged backstories and lore and active blogs associated with them, and there's just SO. MUCH. DETAIL!!!~
I made this blog to help keep tabs on the blogs relating to this ARG, something I'll be doing on-and-off in-between my hunt for a job that isn't freelance work~
I'm still not done reading all of them, and at this rate I don't know if I can read everything if I want to keep up... I'll try, but I swear the list they gave me keeps getting longer...
And I'll be honest: As much as I love this genre, I don't usually take the role of an active player when the ARG is still ongoing. I usually wait until they're finished then solve it on my own, occasionally looking at guides written by those who played before me when I get stuck.
But between the passion, the artistry, and, well, the obvious, I simply couldn't pass up the opportunity to play it live this time around~ This game is one I won't lose, not to anyone~
So mark my words when I say this:
If anybody's gonna be taking home that cash prize?
It's gonna be ME~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(This blog is a WIP. And it will be for a while because I don't know what I'm doing~)
Pronouns she/her, ace mid-twenty-something adult who is at least slightly less of a womanfailure than Squiggle is~
Decided to make this blog solely because I had a brainworm of an idea for a character, accidentally created too much lore for her in my head, and then my unrelenting urge to RP as her convinced me to join in~
This is the second time one of my stupid Minecraft OCs has dragged me across the floor and into a roleplay with a bunch of people I never would have interacted with otherwise, and the first time was a blast~ So I just hope I can make a character and a story that entertains ya'll as much as it entertains me~
And yes, do I type like this normally~ Tildes and all~
It's kinda my thing~
A few disclaimers:
Don't ignore that Unreality warning at the top of this blog.
Squig is a character that, in-universe, thinks this is an ARG. This is going to lead her calling her fictional world reality frequently. Please don't put your mental health at risk if you have a hard time telling what's real and what's fake.
This is the first time I've run anything like this, so bare with me if I'm bad at it~ On my normal Tumblr account I tag nothing and reblog everything, so if I mess up with tags or RP etiquette or whatever, tell me and I'll fix it ASAP~
All roleplay here will be SFW and platonic. I'm an adult in my mid-twenties, my character is an adult in her late twenties, but a lot of the folks working on and engaging with this AU are minors. So no. We're not doing that. I was already planning on making things strictly SFW, but after realizing that I'm probably one of the oldest mods for this AU, I've decided to extend this notion and have no romance or QPRs for Squig either. Not with other roleplayers at least. I can still create my own OCs for that if I want, I'm just not comfortable roleplaying relationships that aren't platonic with other people, especially with those younger than me.
Squiggly is mostly based off of a character I want to use in an ARG I make myself one day. Emphasis on Mostly.
Squig and this other character share the same full name, same childhood, same core beliefs, same DNA, same neurodivergencies...
But although they come from the same source, the version of her in this AU has gone down a very different path. As such, her personality is different too~ I won't go into details of the differences, but think of Squig as the Wario of her 'canon' self's Mario~
So if I end up making that ARG and someone in the future reads this blog, don't take anything here as canon to my ARG~
This is an AU~ Take it as such~
I'll probably be editing this with more info and tags when I come up with them, so stay tuned~
Although I'm not as much of a nerd about ARGs as Squig is, the genre has always been one I've wanted to try doing myself and I want to use this blog partially as an experiment for ways I could make one in the future! This won't be a full on ARG (at least... I don't think it'll be...) but I will be adding elements of the genre in here once I get a gist of Tumblr Roleplay in general~

you need to take that vacation. you seem distressed.
restructuring your own reality constantly is draining. especially if you are unsure you even have the right perspective.
“it is like describing a dog to someone who has never seen a dog and asking them to draw it.” it’s almost like this, but rather, the dog is being described but you are shown a reference image of a small cat. your reference is wrong. the words are right. but your knowledge is incomplete, thus your understanding will be.
stop drawing dogs. take some time. read a book.
…for catharsis, i recommend No Longer Human. for your safety… i recommend something lighter.
-A
...
heh~ I get that reference~
I loved the Backrooms movie BTW~ I'd be lying if I didn't say Mary Kline wasn't on my kins list for. Multiple reasons.
mostly the childhood...
... But yeah. I'm... Already making plans. I'm gonna ask my housemate if he can go visit the kiddo I go to see in the hospital every day for me while I'm gone. And.. I already did a call earlier today that, uh... Long story short? A friend of mine told me to ask a few questions to someone and it'd pay me for it, and... I just did that, so. I'll reach out to Daize about the money soon. I'm... Gonna need to pay for my debts somehow while I'm out back at my hometown, right?~
.....
i should watch The Backrooms movie again.
I need something good to cry to tonight.....
I know the video is supposedly an arg. @searchin4arealitythatdoesntexist called this an arg. but... i do not think this is an arg.
perhaps i am crazy, but… i believe you. my sincere apologies, D3rlord3.
i felt the utmost horror seeing what was on that screen. a familiar kind. i do not wish to feel it again. i am sure you understand that more than i ever will. i will not mention plays, or that book again. apologies.
um.
would you like to see. a photo of. a butterfly. that i found while hiking. ?
-A
This is not an ARG, she is just... overcompensates for her unwillingness to see things as they are by insisting everything is fake or whatever. It's stupid.
i saw your blog pop up in search results when i was doing research on The Tempest for class… and wow. there’s a lot going on.
i do think it’s neat that your mysterious godly friend Prospero is within the same rough social circle as a Miranda and a Caliban!
…yes, i did some research into this group. where i live is incredibly boring. anyways.
the name… how unique. Prospero was someone who acts impermanent. in fact, their soliloquies are often taken as Shakespeare’s retirement speeches. and yet this Prospero seems more stable… perhaps. and so desperate.
it’s interesting. anyway, i just wanted to break the ice and send an ask. i shall speak with you later.
-A
Huh... Didn't know my blog was public enough to be found in searches..? (Or that... Anyone would search for me aside from...... Uh........)
ANYWAYS!!!!~ Howdy!~
Welcome to... My blog!~ Aaand the mess that is my life!~ I think!!!~
....
It's. Well. I don't wanna say it's the WORST time to find out about this ARG...
I actually do quite love The Tempest, and... I think I get why Prospero decided to call herself that. She's like her in the fact that she's kinda.. Puppeteering things towards the best outcome? Sort of like how Prospero from the Shakespeare play used his own powers to shape the story of The Tempest into the best outcome! That's... Kind of her entire thing, I think. Helping people like that. She does go by the title of, "The God of Better Outcomes Caused by Good Intentions" for a reason. I don't quite know if her motivations are completely just, but... I do think. I believe in her. (... Even if she's. likely just. a character. in this ARG......)
Anyway, that's how I interpret her moniker at least. IDK if my theory holds any more or less water than someone else, but... Yeah~
Also... I, uh. Don't REALLY think... ANYONE would consider Caliban a friend in this context? I mean... Caliban is like. A sapient island that became SUCH a hater it learned how to use Tumblr in the lore of the Kintsugi Timeline ARG, so..... Yeah. Not really friendable, me thinks~
Miranda's chill tho!~ Used to be one of my favorites in this ARG, until. Uh. I... Stopped being a player and was. Forced to become an actor here. And learned about the Contract and..... Yeah. All that.... (Hope Miranda's doing alright...)
You can.. Search my blog for more context if you want. Or... The blogs of the other characters/actors of this immoral ARG.... Just, uh... Know that the part of the ARG using The Website is apparently off limits to those who joined the dame late. So... Yeah. Sorry about that!
Regardless, it's... Nice to meet a stranger who doesn't hate me~
Thank you for stopping by April~ I needed a bit more normalcy ATM, so you were a welcomed change of pace I think~~
Anyway, I gotta visit a kid in the hospital soon, so... Yeanh~

Howdy! It's been a while since I did a proper one of these...
Not gonna address the. SEVERAL elephants in the room, I am instead deciding to. Focus elsewhere. Better for what little decent mental health I have left....
At least I've been able to get out of bed recently. For reasons outside of basic necessities and the kiddo, I mean...
And... After delaying it for a while? I'm gonna meet with. Uh. Robin's relative, let's say, soon. Via a phone call, not in person like we first planned, but... I kinda. Need it to not be in person if I don't wanna look like a walking train-wreck...
....
I. Might take a vacation soon, if you can even call it that. I wanna check back in with my hometown. Things have been... Messy. In my head. And. The current routine ain't healthy for fixing that. I need some time to myself, away from Teach and his kid, away from whatever is happening here in Ness Anne, away from any and all ARGs.... From everything.
V whfg. jnaan purpx onpx va jvgu rirelobql.
Sooo... That's where I'm at. I'll update after the teenage kiddo and I talk, probably.. Not unless it's around the time I visit the other kiddo....
In the meantime! Uh...
Here's a PSA ig~
Please don't litter, folks... I know I live right behind a McDonald's, but... C'mon dudes. Throw your trash away. Had to scare off both of these birds before they ate actual garbage....
miss squig ar you okay? can we bring you more shells?
theres also a shiny rock we found , we think itll make you feel better
.. Oh! Did you send this last night, Pep? I was wondering why there were some shells and rocks shoved under my door...
Uh. For the record? Could you please... Just leave them in a pile or something next ttime if you don't want to disturb my sleep? I... Accidentally broke a few of them then trying to open my bedroom door this morning... And then stepped on the pieces... At least I had slippers on....
What I've been going through is... Something a bit more. Complicated. Than just regular sadness, kiddo. So. I might be like this for a little while.
It's nothing to do with you or your dad!!!
It's just. I've been having a hard time. With.. What is and isn't real and... The consequences of. A very, very bad mistake I did. A... Non-excusable mistake...
I'll... Be better soon, alright? Might need to take a trip out of town soon though to make it happen... For my mental health. Once I get the money and all of my other ducks are in a row, I mean...
Anyway... Thank you for the shells! I'll salvage what I can and see if I can't glue back what I can, yeah?
[Squig]: Or to just. TURN THESE OFF COMPLETELY SO THEY DON"T PING WHILE YOU DRIVE????
[Squig]: They'll still ping to the closest towers once you turn them back on, but if you need to be untracable and HAVE to keep them around, then TURN THEM OFF?????
[Squig]: Also HOW??????????
[Squig]: HOW DO YOU GUYS DO THIS????????
[Squig]: Isn't Kalei CANONICALLY omniscient????
[Squig]: Because like.... I REALLY would hate to diss your partner rn Katty, but....
[Squig]: Are you CERTAIN they knows all of the world's knowledge???
[Squig]: Because this isn't even the first time they did something like this!!!!
[Squig]: They once tried for MULTIPLE DAYS to find me, but used their infinite knowledge or to find my phone number
[Squig]: Instead of. Ya know...
[Squig]: MY LOCATION???????????????
[Squig]: Can you all have....
[Squig]: A LITTLE genre savvy here????
[Squig]: I KNOW you're gonna hate me for saying that but can you PLEASE think BEFORE you drive off into the great beyond with nothing but a sack of clothes and food, a gaming console, and, IDK...

I have been. In SUCH a depressed state over the past few days.
But seeing you play undertale for the first time. and STARTING with a genocide run, nonetheless.... After saying you already know the ending to Deltarune a few days ago...
Dude..... I think....
You have successfully ragebaited me enough to convince me to out of bed for the first time IN DAYS for ANY reason outside of eating, visiting Mags, and going to the bathroom.
So.... Bravo? I think????
Never do this again.
Fuck you Kalei.
If you need help deleting the version of the save that's Soulless after you do a True Pacifist Route instead, hacking your way into an unfair best ending type deal: DO NOT ASK ME, I WILL NOT HELP YOU.
...
but. thanks. for getting me out of bed.
-Squig @searchin4arealitythatdoesntexist
i am sorry for your loss, Squig, but this ask is a bit.... much. Squig ...it's a fucking video game? i do not think it matters this much.
...i lost somebody too, and i know it. hurts. please stay close with friends, and. ah. avoid. spending too much time. rage baiting on tumblr.
.....um. one last thing.
please. call or text Kat sometime. no one from Ness Anne has tried to talk to her since we left. it hurts. i want her to have friends. she deserves to be loved by so many people. i know i have no right to ask you favors, but... it's for her.
Kalei, if you think this is just a video game, you have ZERO whimsy in your life.
(Which is... Ironic, given your... Beliefs? IG??? I don't wanna call it an religion, but like. Your worship of her? IDK what else to call it....)
But like. The game's original tagline was LITERALLY "The friendly RPG where nobody has to die!" I GENUINELY do not know how you fucked it up that badly. Like.... I've seen people get Neutral routes first try, but YOU HAVE TO KILL LITERALLY EVERYONE to do a Genocide Route first try????? That includes GOING BACK and GRINDING EVERY SINGLE LOCATION???? HOW THE FUCK DID YOU DO THAT ON ACCIDENT????????
Listen. I'm not gonna say you're playing the game wrong, but I AM going to say that.... Actually no, I'm being too polite. I think you're playing the game wrong, dude. Like. If you genuinely DID NOT KNOW about being on a Genocide Run first try, YOU ARE PLAYING THE GAME WRONG.
Okay? Okay.
I'm taking a deep breath...... Aaaand exhale........
Anyway, yes. I have been. Attempting to take care of myself. I hope you are as well despite..... [Vaguely gestures to everything]
I'm at least not going to try ragebaiting someone into kicking my ass again... So. Yeah.
... Might take a vacation soon.
I need to get out of Ness Anne for day or two.
....
Anyway..... I've been meaning to contact Kat too, but I've waiting for your new phone numbers.
Just send me the numbers of whatever shitty burner phones y'all are using in DMs, alright?
(Hope you're not still using your old phone RN Kalei... I know Fia still has your number, but like. Cell towers can ping your location???? I explained this to Gilbert AGES AGO and like. That's the first thing they show in every crime documentary on how they end up finding the killer??? The fact that so long as they have your phone number it's VERY EASY to get someone's location??? And you've ALREADY PROVEN that this.... Shitty shadow government thingy KNOWS your phone number. Meaning they can EASILY get the records showing EXACTLY where your phone last pinged! So PLEASE tell me that at LEAST Katty was smart enough to get a burner phone BEFORE braving the wilderness.... I REALLY don't you guys to only realize halfway through your journey that you're highly capable of being tracked down as we speak.....)
A photo of a sheet of paper with a message written on it. There are small creases and droplets on the page in various states of drying. Although many spots still seem to be wet, some appear to be dry. The letter itself reads as follows:
Dear ██████
It’s not your fault.
I gave her so many letters. He didn’t read them.
Jean's fate could not be changed. Not by anyone.
I’m so sorry.
I think. I fully understand the dread. That our characters feel. When we post the RP logs in the KT AU. I felt that the last few times as well, TBH....
........
So. You did all of this for.... What? What reason? Because I'm starting to doubt that this is all because you didn't get to meet with a fucking sea bunny. Were you just looking for an excuse to beat the shit out of them?
So that's not the sea bunny....
then why did she respond to me on a metafictional level....?
Welp. I got a new mystery to solve. Gonna help the others here in the Clockworks then ponder... Whatever that little critter is.
And. Why I. Keep feeling a little threatened by her.... :c
Thanks for narrowing down my search at least? I think???
... But also FUCK YOU for beating the crap out of my friend, it's not gonna happen again.
You're gonna be at the hospital today, right?
can. I ask a favor of you?
If i send you the room number that. the kiddo who i watched get run over by a car. is in. Would you please visit the kid for me?
Cuz i. can't leave my bed. today.
been crying too much.
.........

thank you in advance.
-Squig @searchin4arealitythatdoesntexist
You~ watched a CHILD get run over?
Fucking excuse me?
Oh "Shelley~", I have no drop of respect nor sympathy for you~ anymore. Shove that bullet deep inside your~ brain the next time, will you~. Make sure you~ have the gun loaded this time.
Piece of shit.
I will be going there but not for you~. The child deserves better care than what you~ can offer.
Never address me again. I don't want to be seen talking with... you~. It's below disgusting.
You~ make me physically sick.
The next time I see you~, you~ better be in a closed casket. Otherwise I will put you~ there. I will make sure you~ know what the child felt, and I'll be the one driving the cars.
I will disfigure you~ in such a way that the remaining of your~ limbs will have to be put in plastic bags so you~ can have a proper funeral.
You have the SAME PROBLEM AS KALEI. You never FUCKING listen. Do you?
No WONDER you have a fucking HATE SITUATIONSHIP.
TOO BAD IT'S NOT GONNA LAST BECAUSE THEY'RE GONE TOO!!!!!!!~
But this isn't about them.
GOD KNOWS I've been nothing but a PLAGUE on their life!~
So lemme cut to the chase:
I FUCKING TOLD YOU. Already.
I had NOTHING. To do. With the crash.
How could I have helped? I wasn't there on time to witness anything other than the after math, there's video evidence online if you're a sick enough FREAK to look.
Oh...
Tell me, Wren. In ALL OF YOUR GENIUS, and the FOREVER CORRECTNESS that is YOURSELF!!!!~
What the FUCK could you have done to prevent what happened to Magalie??? HUH???
If YOU were there, standing by the highway, RIGHT THERE When the crash occurred. What? Would you have... MAGICALLY STOPPED THE CAR?~ Could you... Go back in time and PSYCHICALLY tell the kid to STOP BEING ON THE HIGHWAY.
Oh wait, I forgot you are SUCH A SUPERHERO that if the kid was run over, she'd just. Be okay!!!!!~
Because that's how it works, RIGHT???~
If anyone OTHER than me does it, if a fucking PROTAGONIST like YOU does it, it's SO MUCH better for EVERYONE INVOLVED, HUH????~
Do you think anyone else would have shown up at the hospital when the kid was in a coma if YOU were the one who saved her?~
Would the kid's ENTIRE family and friends be there for him, but aren't there whenever I"M around because.... FUCK ME?????~
Or no.
Wouldn't have the AUDACITY. To LEAVE the kid there, right? Or would you, because that's not YOUR kid. Not one you've bonded with.
In your FUCKED UP MIND, is that what you want? For the kiddo to just. Sit there alone ALL DAY LONG with NO ONE to see them?
Alone. Unvisited. Unwanted.
Unloved.
Do you only care about the people in your little bubble, Wren?
Because only YOU allowed to care about the lives of others. Because YOU are the ULTIMATE JUDGE of whether someone LIVES OR DIES, HUH???~
YOU are the one who PICKS AND CHOOSES WHO MATTERS IN THIS WORLD!!!!!!~ AIN"T THAT RIGHT????~
so where were YOU when Magalie got hit.
Where were YOU when the kid was lying in the road?
Were you anywhere near the ambulance? Did YOU sit there every day from 9AM to 9PM waiting for Mags to wake up?
WERE YOU FORGETTING TO EAT AND DRINK, GETTING PHONE CALL AFTER PHONE CALL THAT YOU BLOCKED AGAIN AND AGAIN, BECAUSE YOU COULD BARELY THINK AS THE DAMN CHILD SAT THERE ALONE IN THE SIX HOURS YOU WEREN"T ALLOWED IN THE BUILDING?????
No?
But you're still gonna think you could have done better given the circumstances, is that what you think? Is that what you're gonna say?
Because you know what?~ You PROBABLY COULD HAVE.
BUT YOU WEREN'T.
the one there.
was me.
...
Look. I don't give a shit WHO visits the kid, so long as SOMEONE does.
Do you know what it's LIKE Wren? To be there ALONE? With nothing but those florescent lights buzzing overhead? With nothing but spare time to sit there and THINK about ALL OF THE PEOPLE who DON"T CARE ENOUGH ABOUT YOU to visit in that hospital bed???~
I've lived through that. And I would rather be shot in the chest than wake up alone again.
So. Fuck it.
If you wanna show this kid I'm a murderer? Tell them to keep not speakin' to me and. That you could have saved their life far better than me?
So be it.
If you're going to hate me. Hate me for the reasons I DESERVE to be hated. Don't just parrot what Kalei told thinks about me. Listen to what I have to say then think for yourself for once, you sack of SHIT.
Anya is live and ready to show you everything. Watch her strip, dance, and perform exclusive shows just for you. Interact in real-time and make your fantasies come true.
