#scb stuff

Ben ascended when he was still pretty young, and he died in 2002 so there wasn't a whole lot of community or anything he could look to. Being in an abusive home definitely didn't help either, he didn't quite understand what he was feeling or what to do with it. he just knew that it felt . . . not right whenever teachers or classmates called him a girl.

He told Matt and Rosa first. Rosa took to it much easier than Matt did, but he came around eventually too. He swore them to secrecy, terrified that something somehow would get back to his father. So he didn't tell any other classmates, and only the two of them would refer to him as a boy. But he was okay with that, cuz they were the only two that mattered.

Matt was still hella overprotective of him, but it steered away just a bit from being an overprotective guard dog, to actually showing him how to throw some punches and stand his ground a little bit more. He always felt he should've taught him more, even after his ascension.

Ben's mother, Lisa, was supportive of him, but scared of her husband. He told her one night in tears, and she sat with him and held him for what felt like all night. Lisa was a hairdresser, and eventually he asked her if she could cut his hair. They both talked about it for a long while, trying to think of something that would make him happy without arousing too much suspicion. She cut it into a chin-length, choppy style, and bleached it blond for him.

When he ascended and met BEN, it gave him the option of changing his face and body. Technically, since he wasn't a physical person anymore, he could do whatever he wanted with how he looked. And really, aint that the trans dream of being able to put yourself into a character creation thing? video game style? His face isn't wholly inspired by Link, he's always preferred his mom's blonde hair to him and his father's dark brown hair. He kept his green eyes and faint freckles, but he took her strawberry blond.

(BEN also let him pick its own face, since it didn't really care what it looked like and it thought it would make him happy. hence the Saria to his Link)

Ben actually didn't change his birth name until he ascended. He didn't like his name before (well he didn't hate it, but it didn't feel like him) but he didn't feel safe changing it or had an idea of what to change it to. He shared BEN's name, because it was the first option that felt safe and kind of right.

Some more NSFW hcs under the cut

Oak, birch, aspen trees, sunlight filtering through the leaves, the rush of the north wind. Babbling brooks and creeks, a trout jumping and splashing on the surface. Campfires, woodsmoke, ash and dust rising from a glowing plume into the starry night. Bonfires. House fires. Dumpster fires in the cold icy streets. Car exhaust and drunk drivers on empty lonely highways, flat energy drinks in the cup holders. The sound of splitting wood, cracking ice, falling stone. Granite sparkling in the dusk light. Icy cold fingertips pressed against your palm, nails gently biting your skin.

Kate:

Stale cigarette smell in old musty carpet. The clack of billiard balls against each other, quiet chatter and laughter, low blues music crackling through old speakers. Blues, classic rock, hard rock, headbanging to old punk music in the car with your friends, parked in the lot after a highschool game. Smiling so wide your cheeks ache. Pounding throbbing feet on concrete, the rough grooves of brick and mortar under your nails. The chokehold of terror in your chest, the moon through douglas firs and redwood trees. February breeze at 3am, cold air seeping under your jacket, the flannels of your pants. Cold fingers, cold toes, steaming hot water that stings like pure bliss. The taste of medicine that follows the ringing of an alarm.

Liam:

One—how do I post things in the creepypasta community-? Bc I tried to do that and I think it didn’t go through-?? Is that normal-?

And two: where do you personally put Masky and Hoodie when it comes to creepypasta-? Bc I know so many people have them as proxies and tbh I see why but I’m confused on when they went from Marble Hornets to proxies—honestly I personally think they lowkey went, fuck it, let’s ball and just gave in but idk

Hey! It took me a week to see this sorry!

Posting in the communities goes about the same as posting to your blog. The dropdown that you use to choose which blog to post on to also has the communities your in under it. You just scroll down to pick the community and yeah. I think its the same thing on desktop too.

The physical body of the hivemind is that of an androgynously human figure, approximately 5'9 in height with a lean build. Despite the size of the body, it is unexpectedly light, as the skeleton and framework of the body is made from aluminum and hollow steel, with hollow supports and a lightweight server and motherboard that houses the digitized souls. The external body itself is a synthetic crystalline structure, lightweight and mostly stable and strong. When damaged, the crystal can be induced to regrow and regenerate injuries, albeit after the appropriate time has passed. The crystalline body is colorless and mostly featureless, with a translucent pearly luster. The material itself is able to catch and refract light, and is connected to the internal wiring of the hivemind's "nervous system", that allows the user in front to change the appearance of their body via a light projection. The physical shape of the body can be minutely adjusted as well, to slightly change height, build, and body shape, but not very much. The body is constantly cooled with a plasma/antifreeze blend of synthetic chemical that is pumped through its body like a circulatory system. When damaged, this fluid can leak out and cause the body to overheat and cause internal damage. The fluid can be internally reconstituted by ingesting water.

The main server that houses the digitized souls is found in the chest cavity, bolted and protected under a lightweight steel rib cage. It consists of a set of motherboards and connected chips wired to both a power supply located near the heart, and storage components housing the data for everyone stacked in its middle stomach. The motors that run and move its body are located along its back, and connect to a series of pins that run down the length of its spine, from neck to tailbone, that make up the bulk of its "nervous system". These pins are highly sensitive and allow for testing of its range of motion, sensation, and reflexes, and can be used to recalibrate its body after extensive damage has been healed. They are further connected up its neck and into its head, where the CPU is housed in a steel skull. Fans located in its cranium are disguised under synthetic fiber optic hair, allowing it proper circulation as well as the ability to further alter its appearance. The synthetic "hair" is reconstituted from its crystal body as its damaged or altered, allowing it a semi-normal process of hair growth, as well as giving it material to use to help rebuild its body from damage.

As Evie's body takes damage, past a certain threshold the damage can be felt internally by the members of the collective. This threshold is usually 50-60%, depending on where the damage is located. Loss of limbs can cause enough bodily shock that could be felt internally, but true damage to the collective can only be done by severe damage to the body, especially its main components. Too severe damage can affect the stability of the collective, leaving members corrupted or with memory loss, in a way akin to brain trauma. Because of this, the body has a tendency to react defensively when hurt severely, protecting itself until it is safe to shut down and conserve power. Unexpectedly, most likely due to the connection imposed on the body to the cartridge by outside forces, the physical state of the Haunted Majora's Mask Cartridge will also affect the body, albeit only mentally. If the cartridge is destroyed, the CPU will be damaged severely, and the members of the hivemind will be injured to such a degree that their minds will reset, and they would have to start from scratch. For this reason, Evie, as the protector of the Moon children, does everything in its power to maintain and protect the body first, and protect the cartridge second. Magnetic forces can also affect the hivemind adversely, causing errors and glitches in its projection and scrambling the mental state of whichever user is in front. Removing the magnet from the immediate vicinity stops the attack, and the damage is almost always reversible.

Powering the body can be done in many ways. The body doesn't have formal ports, but electricity can be ingested orally, and as such they can be seen sucking on electrical output cords when drained or exhausted. The electricity is taken in and "digested" into the power supply to be recirculated. The body can also generate its own electricity with enough movement and water, and due to this the collective is not very stationary. They fidget and move in place when standing idle, as stagnating too long can affect their ability to generate their own energy temporarily. When the body is at an optimal power level, it excretes the excess electricity out of the body like sweat, creating a fuzz of static electricity over the surface. Excess energy can also be expelled or discharged offensively or defensively, allowing them to defend their selves when needed. When too much energy is used, the body goes into a low power mode and hibernates until its reserves are restored.
