LOADING...OVERFLOW

[recollecters]

Hello and happy new year! A lot of poll results came in from R&D and we've almost fixed taste all the way. Horses are almost fixed, too. We've been working pretty much non-stop around the holidays to stabilize everything, so I hope this works! Just so you guys know, while we were working on fixing the original problems we received some alerts of residual effects outside of our usual domain. Don't worry though! Remember what I said a while ago? We're still moving more resources around into better defenses to protect the city from huge storms like last summer. We'll be taking care of that really soon and isolating the unknown problem. I wish I could tell you more, but we're all working overtime here to finish the final stages of a big project. No matter what happens you guys should be safe while we finish up, so just stay calm, okay? Don't get too reckless! Joanne Wiseman Technician 2nd class Retrspec Incorporated As of this post taste tier 4 has been icly regained; tier 5 will go into effect on Saturday, January 6th at 9pm EST and taste will be fully restored!

wow karkat!
i had no idea you had that kind of pull in the edutainment industry
we will call it:
miss amis wholesome happiness hour

[alienates]

Yeah, well, I have connections.

[ no he doesn't. ]

Is it going to be one of those puppet shows??
Mr. Rogers

[livingdeadgirl]

yes
it would be set in a spooky castle
and all the puppets would be kid monsters
they are miss amis friends and she loves them all
and lets them know they are special just the way they are

[alienates]

You're going to need some sort of catchy song, dude.
It's a proven fact that without one, all kid shows are doomed to eternal failure.

thats the power of teamwork

[grumpei]

i can only assume youre making a rainbow with your hands after typing something like that

[livingdeadgirl]

naturally
rainbow hands is my superpower

precisely!
although ive also heard a variant of the saying
where you throw the lemons back at life
and demand to see lifes manager
making lemonade is a lot less likely to cause a scene though

well i dont claim to be an authority on superheroes or anything
but im sure you could be a good one without getting an award for it
there are plenty of good actors who never get oscars

[maidofmistakes]

All I can do right now is see through things. It doesn't seem that useful for crimefighting.

[livingdeadgirl]

oh yeah i remember you talking about that
how is that going by the way
did you get it under control eventually?

i guess its kind of the nature of memes to get stolen though
nobody makes them
they just spontaneously arise from the depths of the human subconscious

proromptotp

[mercurio]

my favorite is when an old school meme gets picked up again a few years later
with a new face lift
man
classics

prepromptsterous

[livingdeadgirl]

haha yeah that makes sense
you get the amusement of new meme
plus the nostalgia of old meme

hey ive got an idea
give this guy a face lift
hes sufficiently old meme to warrant it right

yeah unfortunately im not really a science person
or a metaphysics person
i honestly dont understand any of this
even the little that isnt just random speculation

[notyourutopian]

I suppose I tend to look at it from an engineering perspective...
Personal flaw really.
But I want to know how the pieces work.
If I could figure that out...
I could make the rest of it make sense.

[livingdeadgirl]

i dont think thats a flaw
understanding our situation will put us that much closer to having some control over it!
so its important that someone keeps asking the difficult questions
and finding the elusive answers

[me_matey]

i mean i still mad about shit that happened in 2017 but i guess things are kinda better

[livingdeadgirl]

well its good if things are improving
how is the boat situation out of curiosity?

[me_matey]

still wrecked. livin with a friend.

no silly
the plan is tooooo
always look on the bright side of life ♪♪ ♫♫♪♪
always look on the light side of life ♪♪ ♫♫♪♪

(this is the song btw
im not going to write out the rest)

[hauhra]

[ i mean i can't blame you ]

That would almost work if only a little problem called Retrospec weren't

[hauhra]

...wait a minute. Music notes... and lines that rhyme... this isn't your secret at all. It's a song from a movie. Am I right? At first, it looked like it was just condescending poetry, but...

[livingdeadgirl]

bingo!
and also i linked you the song up there so you can listen to it
as much as i wish i could take the credit haha

all joking aside though
the "secret" isnt really a secret at all!
it is simply a decision
to look for the good in any situation
and spread it to anyone who will accept it
if i can make somebody laugh
then i consider that a job well done :)
