So out of curiosity is there like a mystical equivalent of an IP tracker for magic-related things?

Asking for a friend.

Hey, Metacuties. Let's talk.

[ this is a very different episode of RUE MOORE HAS IT. there's no flashy editing, no obnoxious intro. and, for once, no rumors. just a black screen with white text on it.

let's talk. ]

I know we're all here because we love our heroes, our villains, our vigilantes. They help keep us safe - or, well, most of them do. The heroes do, at least... or I thought they did. [ there's a long pause. ] I guess your girl's feeling a little responsible for all of the things that have happened over the last year. I know, I know, I'm just a girl with a microphone, but a lot of people follow me here. A lot of news gets spread, and I don't always work that hard to check my sources, y'know? It's just supposed to be entertainment.

And I've got no entertainment right now.

The only real rumors I have for you are things like, really sad stuff. Metahumans are losing their abilities. Like, all of those jerky-science guys in Excelsior that were causing such a stink? Well, it turns out they're metas. Their big old brains were a meta ability and they didn't even know it. So now they're dumb and boring like all the rest of us. So things are breaking there and it's looking really, really bad.

Apparently the dimensional portals are shutting down again, which can only mean more bad things. Magic is literally disappearing from our world, right before our eyes, and I don't know what to say about that. The Alliance is super in trouble from what I hear, congress is looking at passing a bunch of laws, and also, all those crazy cult guys are there? And, oh yeah, a killer Goddess showing up and just blasts one of our most powerful heroes and turns him into -- that?

[ you can hear the whirr of a fan behind her in the next pause. ]

I made this show because I absolutely loved the extraordinary among us. Fantastic was one of my faves, and I started blogging about all the junk he was doing as Windy Boy. And now... I- I don't even know what happened to him. And Katherine West was Chaos Gate? That feels so obvious in hindsight, but I didn't put two and two together. Now they're a star-crossed tragedy, and I don't really feel like reporting on the news.

[ her voice gets soft to the end. there's a slight sniffle. ]

But we built a great community here. And I feel like I need to do something with it, more than just rumors... Maybe I should turn legit, talk about the actual news. The cool stuff heroes do, instead of just their most embarrassing moments.

I've enabled anon in the comments, so... go ahead and share your favorite memories of your favorite Metas. Let's try to spread some positivity in these trying times, okay?

[ the feed starts in loki's mayoral office. there are some documents, isis' statue, nothing much. it's tidy because loki likes things to be neat. he has a braid in his hair, tying it back. the ribbon is silver in colour. ]

Greetings, citizens of Meta, particularly those in Sunset Falls.

We have issues with the wards of late. Please do not panic. I am seeing to it though it is a time consuming process and I would need to elicit some divine help to maintain them.

[ in the past, loki would have given up parts of himself to maintain his power. without a second thought. after all, cutting himself up poses no real hardship or maintain. he likes his independence but no one hates loki more than loki.

now, though. he won't be doing that. ]

Please be patient and rest assured, it will be dealt with.

[ now he grins, a little mischief in his eyes. with a wave of his hair, some fireworks go off in the office. ]

In other news, I am now formally engaged. I'm afraid you'll have to wait for wedding plans, but they will be coming.

definecat

[Video starts with a placard that reads "Important Announcement (From Your Feline Overlords)" that is then pulled away to reveal Sleeper, looking very prim and dignified, even wearing a pair of glasses and a collar and tie for the occasion.]

While most cats can't talk, I am here on their behalf with an important announcement. Tomorrow, AUgust 8th, is International Cat Day. That means that if you have a cat in your life, you should be celebrating it.

And if you don't have a cat in your life, well, why not? There are plenty in need of good homes with lots of love. Mostly because of a surfeit of feral cats because people don't exert population control on their pets. But that means that there are plenty of cute kittens and laid-back seniors and everything in between, all ready to ignore you unless it suits them, or it's dinnertime.

And speaking of dinner, unless that cat is yours truly, never feed them chocolate. Best diets for cats are raw meat diets because they, unlike humans, are obligate carnivores. That means the domestic cat cannot live without meat in their life because that's the only way they can get certain essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids.

On the other hand, things like catnip and other smelly treats are wonderful, and can't actually be overindulged in. The worst your cat can get from getting too deep into the 'nip is a good nap from wearing themselves out.

So go, get your cat a new toy, a treat, some extra pampering, and celebrate that they have chosen you to be a part of their lives.

[A pause, as they let the message sink in.]

And now I return you to your regularly scheduled diet of cat memes.

When Fantastic was that creature he was connected to some kind of tether. It might have been magical, or something like that, since it didn't follow any typical physical laws.

The tether disappeared up in the sky, so I can't be sure what it was connected to. Probably that fucking 'god,' though.

Notes: This is posted in the same board as Heron's crosspost.

[ After recent events, Heron's post prompts him to finally get his information together. It's now or never - the risk of not sharing outweighs the risk of being traced. So this goes up on Ourpowers, posted by Anonymous from a phone he'll ditch when he's done answering questions, sitting on a park bench on the other side of the country from anywhere he can usually be found.

It goes up on WOM.bat around the same time, a little delayed by all the DMs he's sending, display name the usual string of nothing revealing. ]

The people behind Fantastic's sudden rise to power and the creation of Arcadia are called the Battlements of the Shining God. They believe in predestination, keeping things moving along the path laid out for them by their god, and in the past to that end have committed murders, magical interference, and ritualised killings of powerful meta individuals.

The symbolism they use is misleading. It pertains to the celtic god of healing, Belenus, 'bright one' or 'shining one', hence all the suns in their armour and their city and their name. But Belenus isn't their god. The deity they worship is known to them as the Lady of Endings, and she's spoken directly to members of their organisation in order to help lead them and the world down her path.

Their members are everywhere. At the time of receiving this information I was told we could trust the founders of the guilds but no other authority, and since that time Atomight has been ousted unexpectedly and replaced by a man who has no business leading the Alliance, and who doesn't seem to fully understand the strings he's attached to. And then Arcadia. A beautiful new haven atop an arena with a platform with shackles in the ground.

[ The dots are easy enough to join. He's fairly confident none of them need convincing at this point that there's something More going on here than Fantastic trying to help the poor, misunderstood Starfallen. ]

The Battlements consider the Starfallen to be the greatest threat to their path that they've faced to date. They're the first problem they haven't been able to solve with a quick murder or spell, and the most powerful group of metas the world has seen in two generations. [ Thanks Frances. ] That's a lot of power to have conveniently gathered in one place if you were looking to either extinguish or reap it.

To those of you still in Arcadia, I urge you to leave immediately. There are places you can find refuge - if you need help, leave first and then reach out. I'll do what I can to link you to someone who can assist you.

To those of you who read this and believe it, Starfallen or no: be ready. This won't be over easily. Those of us who can oppose, must.

[ He'll be available for a while on OurPowers directly after the post, and after that will check in every now and then from random locations across the States in case of any requests for help or questions being asked. He'll be more regularly available on WOM.bat.

OOCly, the sources for this info are here and here for more context! ]

Profile Photo: A screenshot of the burning building saying "DIE IN A DITCH FUCKTASTIC".
Notes: This is posted by Tim, but it's from Jason Todd's Heron account.

[ There are several attachments to the post.

The first is a video, showing the door to the maintenance area of Arcadia opening, with a muttered "Jesus, J--Heron" and a returned "Shut up" audible behind the camera. The camera feed continues into the "maintenance" area before following a staircase that leads downwards.

At the bottom, the stairs open into a wide, open arena. A center platform looks like it's meant to hold approximately one hundred people, and there appear to be places where their feet could be bound to the ground.

The video cuts off there, but there are numerous close up pictures of the arena attached, too; close ups of where the foot bindings are, pictures of the ceiling above, an image of a blue light towards the walls shoving plenty evidence of blood.

There's another image of what had been a locked box, but was pried open. Inside, there are numerous power inhibitors.

The post itself is a series of texts in an odd font, which was deliberately chosen to stand out from most feeds as a copy paste.

biometric scans keep everyone except for a few guards from getting into this area
couldn't tell you what kind of weird cult shit is going on down here, but it's been used recently
i can smell the bleach

There's list of names of the guards who do have clearance, as well as their basic shift schedules.

the symbols around the housing area are all carved out of real gold

[ That text links to few images of those, too: a lot of light and sun imagery carved into the bottom of Arcadia's structure in gold. In addition to the images, is a map of Arcadia itself marking where all of those marks have been found, as well as areas marked off where the "authorized personnel only" and "maintenance, do not enter" doors are. ]

these guys hate the willow maiden, call them "sleepy cultists"
they call the thing they're following a "god", a "blessing of healing". think they're "awake and empowered by the waking world", unlike the other cult which is full of "dreamers"
looked into them, the willow maiden believes in free will
guessing these guys don't

My name is Damian Wayne. If this has any meaning to you, I suggest you contact me before I feel the need contact you.

As for the rest of you, how many of you know how to fight? I don't mean a tussle in the school yard, I mean a fight for your life. If you don't, I suggest you learn. Fast.

Notes: Courtesy of David, this video is posted under a variety of anonymous throwaway accounts that are nigh-impossible to track, on basically every platform you can name. WOM.bat simply has a URL where the video can be downloaded, shared in the Fantastic Sucks board.

[The camera is focused on a man people may recognize from Fantastic's June announcement about a hypnotist manipulating Starfallen into acting as villains without their knowledge: the Fixer. While he looks a little worse for wear after his time in hiding, he isn't sporting any injuries beyond a few minor bruises.

Those asking him questions are off-camera, their voices altered.

After the full interrogation, a certain narrative becomes clear:

Fantastic hired the Fixer. They intentionally targeted Starfallen, using them to carry out staged attacks for Fantastic to thwart. This enabled him to elevate his image and dethrone Atomight from the Alliance. Once he achieved this goal, Fantastic threw the Fixer under the bus (which the Fixer seems especially and genuinely bitter about).

While this may not be surprising to a lot of people, they didn't have the proof before, and it makes Fantastic's hypocrisy for claiming to be working towards the safety of Starfallen excedingly clear.]

sooooo kinda a random question but
if someone wanted to learn practical medical stuff
not just first aid but more than that, like anatomy and medicine and emergency stuff
but med school is like a total no-go
where do you even start?
because just googling randomly is not really helpful

especially because I think I need vet stuff too
like animal doctor vets

I mean theres gotta be a fast way to learn this stuff right?

welcome_summer

[At 12:00 noon EST, Deputy Mayor Mayuko Shiraki issues a public statement, broadcast through the news networks of Sunset Falls, Massachusetts and its neighboring cities. The city government’s social media experts make a clip for distribution shortly thereafter and send it out. It begins with a cut of the local news anchors on standby for the briefing, discussing the state of affairs in studio: the mayor’s disappearance and reappearance in Arcadia, the deputy mayor being elevated to mayor-interim. A signal comes from offscreen, and the lead anchor says, “We now take you to the Hall of Dark Truths for an announcement from Mayor-Interim Shiraki.”]

( We're not saying it's Arcadia's fault BUT it's totally Arcadia's fault. )

how do you do fellow kids?

my name is willa and i want you all to know what if you are injured and need a hand, you're free to call me instead of 911. i know it's wonderful to have a hot firefighter scoop you up and whisk you to an ambulance, but i'm a healer so i can also do that.

i probs cannot pick you up, actually and there are some caveats. i can and will heal a paper cut, but some things should be dealt with on your own i think. it's not noble to suffer but i don't want to put band-aid out of business, they will sue me. so use your best judgement.

second, much like the genie of the lamp, i can't bring people back from the dead. i'm not jesus. but a cut, a dismemberment, a stabbing, a shark bite, or perhaps you were gored by a minotaur because you didn't knock before going to the center of the maze. i'm you girl, that's me, your man in havana. [ included here is her phone number if anyone wants to TEXT HER instead of interacting with the post and just in case. ]

thirdly, does anyone remember 2001's ben foster vehicle get over it? bc i have the big red theme song stuck in my head battling with vitamin c's cover of captain & tennille's love will keep us together.

[It's July and after several Coyote Ugly Nights conducted by Descendant Karaoke Bar and Lounge, the business's social media accounts have started posting videos and photos of the events. The videos and photos of the events show employees dressed in tight wet outfits and doing bar tricks and/or dancing before joyful crowds at Descendant. The videos also include the music that gets played during a Coyote Ugly night.

Amongst the employees featured prominently are the bar owner “Jay Todano” and Dick Grayson.

Overall, it looks like these events are fun. Naturally, these posts also include the schedule for the next Coyote Ugly Nights as well]

[Carol's filming with her phone set up somewhere in a dark room. The only glow coming from the phone screen and a mild glow that's radiating around her aura. Some of the glow is blocked by a very large orange cat that's draped over one of her shoulders.

There is, in fact, a millennial pause at the start of the video as she's trying to figure it out.]

Hey, so it's Carol and Chewie checking in. We have so many new things to learn here... [ She let's the moment drag on intentionally for a moment before continuing, hoping to get the point across.]

Like what brand of cat foods are recommended here because honestly, she's kind of a picky eater. Like mother like daughter I suppose.

[She's not, and hopefully anyone from her world at least will realize this and notice the request for information, or at least contact. It's still kind of obvious but she doesn't want to go parading things about. She punctuates the sentence with a nervous laugh.]

Anyways, we're also open to play dates, cause I think Chewie is getting a little board with only me. [ The video continues to roll a little too long as she awkwardly tries to hit stop a couple times before she manages it, and is failed to be cropped at all.]

[ Hi, world. Tony's filming selfie-style as he's walking through Arcadia. He's also drinking what looks like matcha boba tea through a straw. Over his shoulder, it's possible to see guards noticing him filming and appearing unamused. ]

You know, Fantastic -- if you're watching this, gonna assume that you are, you seem like the type of guy who spends a lot of time in front of the TV -- I'm going to suggest you get your PR people in contact with my people because this? This is working for me. Really. Love the whole vibe. Love the.. what is that on the wall? A sunflower? Cute. Makes it look kind of like kindergarten. Guess that explains all the nannies, right? Speaking of which, hi. [ He grins. ] Hi there.

[ He stops walking, turns the camera towards the scowling face of a guard. She's clearly not interested in being filmed. Tony turns the camera back around, making a face of exaggerated surprise. ]

Anyone getting the impression that these guys don't have a sense of humor? Yeah, me too.

[ He starts walking again. Takes a noisy sip from his boba. ]

Anyway, I could build a better teleporter with my eyes closed. And both hands tied behind my back. If you want to do better next time, call me. Avengers? Also call me. Tony out.

forceforlight

[The video starts with a peal of trumpets as the camera pans up to settle on a marionette that is painted and dressed to look like Fantastic. There's even a small rhinestone on the marionette's smile.]

[The trumpets lead in to the beginnings of the Disney classic version of "I've Got No Strings". But the song starts changing, with the music and words staying the same, but the tempo slowing and the pitch deepening. The camera keeps panning up, showing the strings as the refrain slowly repeats.]

["I've got no strings on me."]

[The control bar comes into view, along with the hand on it. A gloved hand that manipulates the bar so that the puppet keeps dancing along. As the camera pans to the back of the hand, the same symbol that many of Fantastic's guards wear on their uniforms. The music twists once more, becoming the opening riff of Metallica's "Master of Puppets".]

[The camera holds on the symbol for about three bars before the video ends.]

[Note: The account is brand new. This is, currently, the only video on the account.]

Hope you all have fun with that.
