Some of you have mixed up alt text and artwork description but honestly I'm just glad you even bother

Is there an extension or something that makes images on WAFRN load faster? My internet is too slow for this. I get the top 5% of an image or alt text.

We were thinking about moving our site back to neocities; thank gods we didn't!

[Ron] Ough okay this is hard to explain. I have been thinking about it for a while. It is sort of… comfy? Like, when you live in the world and everything feels upside down already, and everyone is always making weird decisions for reasons beyond your comprehension, these spaces become kind of comforting. If that makes sense. They exist in the in-between. If I found the poolrooms, I would feel like I found a secret playroom just for me.
I feel that the backrooms (and weirdcore media in general) has become about the scary screatures. And it's just. Do what you want, but that's not what we find interesting about it. These places are not scary, they are weird. Anything that lives there should be similar.
I really like Kitty's House. Kitty is not malicious, just kind of weird. But nice. https://backrooms-wiki.wikidot.com/level-974
And then there is weird comfort that comes from being nonhuman and seeing these places. They just seem nice. Spacious. Lots of room. I would swim and play in the poolrooms forever and ever.
And of course, there is that horror element. I enjoy this weird little micro-genre(?) as horror as well as comfort media. The horror elements mostly play on nostalgia, things that you know, how things should be, how they have always been. Rather than screaming jumpscares or things out to GET you. You see things that aren't the way they should be. It's creepy, dreadful, but not scary.
I feel that the Backrooms movie did not hit this feeling for us, and was trying to hard to be scary. But I know it was directed by Kane Parsons, who is my age, and has been making Backrooms videos in Blender since he was 16. I am just glad that YouTube creators like that are able to make movies that get into theaters now! That is so crazy. I can't be too upset about the movie because of that.

I think watching the Backrooms movie was very healthy for us, even though we didn't enjoy it very much.
Watching what it (in my opinion) did wrong with liminal spaces and weirdcore reminded us what we LOVE so much about these concepts.

Reminder that if you want to be a boy, girl, neither, both, something else, you can literally just do that. Just because you want to.
You don't have to scrounge for proof of dysphoria or that you have wanted this your whole life or that you are "really trans"
like if you want to be a girl because its fun and girls are cute, you can just do that. there is no council to submit your appeal to

CW: re: **On Content Warnings and Spoilers. And why everyone should use them more often**
[RonLeo] I hope you don't mind if I add on! :neocat_happy_blep:
While content warnings can be effective, it is impossible to 100% predict if a person will be triggered or offended by something you post. For instance: while most people find cats and dogs cute, some people have a severe phobia of them. We mostly tag for common triggers, or things most people find to be disturbing.
Which does not make content warnings worthless! We should continue to use them. But I imagine that posts with descriptive titles and tags may be used for this one day :neocat_think:
As of right now though, I don't think social sites (even on fedi) have a title field. Neat to think about though. Like a (nonfiction) book or essay, it tells you what you might read inside! Tags already help with both reach and filtering. It would be an efficient system :neocat__w_:

[RonLeo] Finally writing an introduction! We are the Marlo System, and we are moving here from tumblr. We are a fictive-heavy system with a high level of separation (despite our shared memory). We make art once in a blue moon :3
