Goodbye, Hashtag Glitter Nation

The Command Deck has another special guest today!
Missed the last “guest?” You can catch her post here: Careful With That Selfie!

Aaron Winters from my upcoming story, Stars or Stripes, has something to say about hipsters and memes. He goes by another name, but only close friends are allowed to know it. Boo. I want to know it now!

This pic went viral on the Empire Web underground. 
What does Aaron have to say about it?

A hipster!? Is that what people are calling me these days? I regret hacking one of my chit cards and regret ever creating that underground network in the darkest and most forgotten corner of the Empire Web. The exciting location of my hidden corner is Zoning Regulations: Manufacturing: Textiles: Code by Fabric Type, then find the “Cottons*” folder.

I wanted a place where we could openly discuss things without fear of reprisal by empire authorities…but all people are posting is a bunch of hashtag one liners and cat pictures. With all the bandwidth these silly images and videos take, it will only be a matter of days before RIA watchdogs catch on.

Goodbye, Hashtag Glitter Nation….I’m not even going to share The Great Kittenpurror Sir Meows Clinton meme…All our meows are belong to him.

Oh, and as for me, Cottons*’s creator? I’ve been turned into a meme as you can see in the image above. I posted this picture the other day (if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em…*sigh*). Look  what someone did with it!

There goes the end of the Cottons* folder. I wonder if Emperor Clinton will be amused or displeased to find that he has become a kitten adored by the purrletariat. I smell a few arrests in the future, which is why I’m #GettingTheHellOut.

See, I’m with the times. Just because I appreciate the forgotten things in life, it doesn’t make me some wannabe, hipster snob! I just now realized that me ranting like this isn’t helping my image…

So yep, getting out, deleting Cottons* and all the posts, images, videos, and user data within, and throwing away this hacked chit (I can always hack another).

~Aaron signing off.

P.S. It’s not considered rage quitting if you’re sparing a handful of people from being taken into RIA custody and arrested.

Stars or Stripes is coming soon to a Command Deck near you!
 Did we mention that it’s going to be free?

SGS: Creativity!

Looking at Heather’s wonderful prompts, I just realized that April is almost over. Is it really the last Sunday of the month already!? How did that happen? Even with quarantine it feels like it just zipped by!  This week’s Seriously Geeky Sundays theme hits close to home, and I am super excited about it. As you all know, I’m an artist who loves to draw, paint, write, and sew!  26th April – Creativity What does creativity in fandoms/geeky interests mean to you? EVERYTHING. Just look at Club High Castle!  High Castle is the one fandom where I’ve felt like I’ve been allowed to flourish. The countless hours and dedication I’ve put into the things I’ve created has been appreciated by both fans and the cast and crew. I have never experienced anything like it, and it has genuinely made me happy over the years.  I’ve been in other fandoms where art and things just slipped by unnoticed–not that I’m seeking attention, but knowing that there are people out there who enjoy my...

Cosplay Everyday!

It’s time for another Seriously Geeky Sunday brought to you by the creative Heather at geeking-by.net! It’s cosplay everyday here in Club High Castle Cosplay is very near and dear to my heart. You should see the left half of my closet! Hanging there is an assortment of medieval dresses, Star Trek uniforms, and other odes to my favorite fandoms that I’ve collected over the years. The oldest thing I have in there is probably from the 90s.  23rd August – Cosplay It’s international Cosplay Day this weekend and we’re joining in the celebrations by chatting about all things cosplay! Have you cosplayed before? If yes, which character was your favourite? If no, which character would you like to cosplay as? You have no idea, Grasshopper 😉 You just opened an entire world about me. I was the QUEEN of cosplay in the early 2000s, and I loved every last second of it. As for my favorite character, that one is a tough one because every time I put on a costume, I’m having the time of my life, h...

Review: PKD’s Unfinished Sequel to TMITHC

I finally had a chance to read the two mysterious chapters of a scrubbed sequel to PKD’s The Man in the High Castle. I finished them a few days weeks ago, but their mark has yet to fade from the recesses of my mind. While I understand why he never finished it, I wish there was more.  The chapters were accompanied by an essay and a fictional blurb about Hawthorn Abendsen. Naziism and The High Castle (1964) is an eye opener into the mind of PKD. He asks pointed questions about human nature and discusses Nationalism— no one is immune from falling into it. The essay reminds me of a quote ages ago when Season 2 of High Castle had just aired: I think we have is to humanize Nazis. If you indulge the fantasy that they were not human, then nothing is learned. This is human beings that did this. It is only humans that are capable of inhumanity. Rufus Sewell on portraying his character, John Smith (2016).  Reading it (and the subsequent chapters) made certain aspects of the show much more clea...
