Can't Work On Sticktober Yet, I've Got College Stuff. I Hope I Can Eventually Catch Up Cuz I Wanna

Day 20: Chores

AvA Sticktober

It crashed and burned

I didn't want to make myself present with a reblog on my main blog, just wanted to quietly dissappear but this is too important

Oookay

Hear me out!

This'll sound REALLY crazy BUUUUUT-

One note means that I don't cut my self for a day.

Really stupid, I know.

Day 2: Power

AvA Sticktober

In which Reuben punches a dye into the stratosphere, I also thought that was cool

Hm

I wonder what a person who isn’t in the AvA fandom would think of this. No context makes this a strange picture

That's a me! I was doing the live recap!

@valenxizaw245 was doing a live recap of the newest episode last night/this morning, and reminded everyone on the discord of something important: there’s a huge disparity of info between each of the sticks, as far as “what is the ongoing situation” is concerned.

Green is the only one who knows Mango’s plan. He briefed Yellow and Blue on it, yes, but Green was the one who witnessed Purple’s original briefing. (This is especially noticeable after Mango obtains creative mode: all four caged sticks behold the lightshow but Green is the only one to slump in defeat.)

Yellow and Blue may only have Green’s briefing highlights to go off of, but they also have the fact that Mango attempted either to keep them distracted and out of the way, or to win them over. Before Green arrived, they had no idea Purple and Mango were connected. 

(There’s also something to be said about the scene Green walked in on to deliver said briefing; a scene that Blue had already noticed drew parallel to their first meeting with Purple. Green might’ve been too intent at the time to notice those same similarities though.)

(It is currently unknown how much of Green’s and Blue’s first meeting with Purple has been shared with the other sticks. For all we know, they might only be aware that Purple endangered them in the End.)

Orange and Red didn’t even know Mango existed until this episode. As far as they knew, trapping everyone in a parkour loop and stealing Alan’s minecraft had been Purple’s idea and Purple’s work alone. They don’t know about Green being imprisoned, or about Yellow and Blue getting played for suckers.

(Heck, Green never actually told any of them about being imprisoned.)

(Come to think of it, all the other sticks escaped the parkour loop by exploiting different mechanics, but Green escaped because he noticed Purple acting sus and did what it took to be nosy about it.)

It’s possible that Orange still doesn’t know Purple and Mango are connected. Red witnessed Purple giving Alan’s minecraft to Mango (he’s the only caged stick who moves to follow the two when the exchange occurs, which might be meant to indicate his realization that Mango wasn’t acting alone; then again this could just be because he’s physically closest and the zoom-in would’ve hidden any actions by the other sticks), but as far as we’re aware, Orange just flew through the portal, saw some tall stranger using creative mode to manifest a black hole in the nether ceiling, decided that was Not A Good Guy Move, and attacked. 

Mango might not be aware that Red was possessed by Herobrine in the footage he has of Red using creative mode, but if he is, he deliberately kept that information from Purple. 

Green didn’t specify, in his briefing to Yellow and Blue, that Purple is working for Mango rather than with Mango, which is a significant step down from Purple’s positions in their first meeting and in AvLOL.

Green was physically closer to Purple than any of his friends at the time of Mango’s betrayal. It’s possible he had a better view.

Now that everyone’s been separated again, Red and Orange, the two sticks with the least amount of info overall, don’t even have each other to cross references with. 

Day 15: Teamwork

AvA Sticktober

They make a good team

So, the new AvA ep

This is gonna have spoilers

In a Discord server I'm in, @ilikemarshmallows, @tumbleblunder and me have chatted for a bit about the new squad of baddies in this ep, and so we came up with some funny names for them

Note: these are names that I personally will use for them, no one is obligated to use these names, specially because the last one is very silly

Knock

Alan said in the AvG reacts that this is the guy from the pixel animation of the guy vs the door. Marsh found said video

And Tumble thought Knock would be a funny name because that's what this guy does. Knock knock

Cave

Pretty straightfoward. Looks like a cave painting. And then there's the whole Spearing the Rhino and the weapons they use. Also naming them Hunter would be too predictable for my taste but that's just me

Sign

This guy has "sign" written all over them. Not only do they reference a bathroom sign, they reference a lot of different signs, so it stuck

Now prepare for a very silly one

Matrix T. S.

Okay so you can absolutely tell DJ calling this guy "Agent Smith" rubbed off on us

As I was watching the AvG Reacts, I actually decided to google Agent Smith out of curiosity

I was actually impressed by how similar those glasses are to the glasses that the agents from the Matrix use (I never watched the movie)

Literally the same glasses

So Tumble decided to call them "Matrix"

BUT THEN

Marsh suggested "Toggle" and it was actually a pretty big brain suggestion

eye-ing that last definition

And "Agent Smith" is still a funny name (thanks DJ)

Matrix Toggle Smith

This one does their taxes so they have an actual last name lol

I'm actually curious what the AvA community will default to regarding their names. Until then, is gonna be hard to find a good tag for them

Meanwhile I am using these. You can use them too if you want :P

I don't know how to end posts

• this blogger is never going to judge you for unfollowing • this blogger is never going to hunt you down • this blogger doesn’t check who blocks them • this blogger doesn’t send anon hate • this blogger respects your space

Happy birthday Teto!!

Very important!!

Your blog was hacked: what to do?

If you see weird pics of ladies with dubious links posted on your blog out of the blue, here’s a step by step way of stopping this and preventing it from happening again that I think might work.

Important : this only works if you can still access your blog!

Changing your password is important, but it won’t do you any good if your hacker still has an opened session on your blog and can still access it. So the first thing you wanna do is close your hacker’s session.

For that you need to go in your blog’s settings:

On the new page opened, scroll all the way down. There, you can see something called “Active Sessions“. The first and oldest one (”current session” in green) should be yours, the new one should be the hacker’s session. To close your hacker’s session, click the gray X next to it.

Now that their session is closed, they can’t access your blog anymore unless they enter the password again.

So don’t lose time, go all the way back up and change your password immediately. Make also sure your hacker didn’t change your email address.

Now you should be safe from your hacker. But it won’t prevent you from getting hacked again.

If you really want to be safe from hackers, you should turn on the “Two-factor authentification” option (on the same page).

It requires you to enter your phone number, which is a bummer. But if it’s turned on, everytime you wanna log on (so not if your session is already opened, but only if you log off and try to log on again), it will send a code on your phone that you’ll have to enter (in addition to having a password).

That way if someone tries to hack you again, even if they get your password right, they won’t be able to enter your blog without having that code.

There it is. I hope it will help some of you, since I see more and more people noticing blogs being hacked

Day 14: Sleep
