I mean, it is entirely possible that Jitter and I are just two made-up aliases used by the same person (for a dark purpose?)
So, very much matching the theme of perception/reality.

I fail to imagine a dark purpose that this could serve.

It is a clever plot to make you accept more EmiLalli than you would from one person!

EmiLalli is great.  I am in that camp..

Well one can do the angsty stuff and one can do the happy fluffy stuff.

The angsty stuff always makes me want to cry. 

But I am definitely in the happy fluffy camp.

As Onni would say "The world is a terrible place" We need more happiness.

In my previous fandoms, there were a few serious dramas caused by sockpuppets (which is what I was INCORRECTLY implying I was).
Here is a list of potential dark purposes, on fanlore: https://fanlore.org/wiki/Sockpuppet#Examples_of_Negative_Uses

Also Jitter is too shy to ask, but she could really use a new Ferrari. Her old one is dusty.

Incidentally, just that one page about sockpuppets on FanLore speaks volumes of what I mean when I said fandoms can become messy over many many interpretations. I mean, ”a personally motivated attack on a known enemy”!! We don’t want any of that!

Oh wow people do strange stuff. I seem to be a bit naive.

P. S. there is no known limit for the ammount EmiLalli that can be accepted.

I did not know what sock puppets were until I read that article. 

Yikes!!!!

dmeck, no need to apologize. Your joke was amusing! I just wanted to share my Fandom Old knowledge of sockpuppets.

I haven't seen the enemy thing so much, but have witnessed people using sockpuppets to (try to) organize fandom-bought gifts for themselves (a laptop, in one case) and people flaming themselves to get, as fanlore says, attention and comfort.

Hey, we need a new prompt!

Heh, I am amused to see this usage of the term, since to me a sockpuppet is a child’s toy, a small handpuppet made, quite literally from an old sock, maybe with embroidered features and button eyes sewn on. It is operated by putting a hand inside and using the fingers to open and shut the mouth, wriggle the thing around and such actions.

How about the prompt of the week as courtship?  I want more Lani and Rivi stories, so this would be the next logical step.  (giggle)


Or if we want to follow the comic, early days of an apocalypse.

Róisín, I'm sure the sockpuppet in the fandoms is named for that toy. The sockpuppet alias is like the toy held by the actual person to pretend being another person speaking.

I'm sure courtship suits this week's re-read, I mean Mikkel's family came about somehow :)

You seriously want me to dwelve in the intricate courtship/mating strategies of their race? Be careful on what you wish! What if they evolved from something like praying mantis?

<3 :V :P <3

So courtship gets my vote too! ;D
