hey you. do you like links [PROMO]

If you've ever read linkeduniverse and gone "yeah this is good but what if there were more links and characters in general" THEN DO I HAVE THE AU(?) FOR YOU

Welcome to Triple Chain! Instead of just one chain of heroes, now there's three and Dink's not working alone anymore. Things're still a bit of a work in progress around here but over the next few weeks, my goal's to have character profiles posted daily. There's also a huuuuge backlog of doodles I just. haven't put up yet. those should also probably be queued up cause there's A Lot

Here's the about section (note that not all the character links work yet cause not everyone's got content yet >m<) if you're curious, and I'm always open to questions and ideas! Just probably not more Links at this point, there's already So Many

If you like my regular(?) LinkedUniverse content then I really hope you can take a moment to check this out too! Profiles are still being posted daily for another two and a half weeks, and there's gonna be more content on top of that. There's more lore stuff, more story snippets, more doodles, more... everything, hopefully, coming as soon as I get a chance to set more up ^^;

Genuinely this has been one of my favorite projects to work on over the last half a year, so I really hope others enjoy it too!

(...Nintendo Cereal System Link and Peter Pancho III are canon characters to this story. No I will not elaborate (yet).)

headcanons are so funny once they become ubiquitous in your brain. forgot that we didn’t all agree about that.

So, a funny thing happened on trigun twitter

(amazon link where its 50% off as of May 8th: https://www.amazon.com/This-How-You-Lose-Time/dp/1534430997/)

Update, “this is how you lose the time war” is now #21 on Amazon’s bestseller’s list

(semi-related note but I too have now ordered the book)

another update: Amal El -Mohtar wrote a small article on her blog (https://amalelmohtar.com/i-tried-to-title-this-post-for-twenty-minutes-and-failed/), one which contains the words “[…] and the upshot of it all is that corporate marketing people at Simon & Schuster now know the name Bigolas Dickolas.”

Further update!

Time war has reached #7 on the amazon bestseller’s list and is still discounted!

(thread found here: https://twitter.com/tithenai/status/1655613629604016151?s=20)

In addition:

I know it made it up to #6 at one point. Being a pre-existing fan of both Trigun and This is How You Loose the Time War made this especially enjoyable.

I’m just going to add some more Twitter screencaps I pasted into the groupchat.

The producer of Trigun Stampede. (No word from Nightow yet, I checked.)

A literary agent. To be precise, the agent of at least one of the authors of Time War.

Slate, posting their article about the whole thing.

A frenzy of mutual adoration and signed hardcover offers.

Other authors want in on the Bigolas Dickolas goodness.

Dongwon again.

Saw this on Twitter and HAH.

Bigolas Dickolas is now Alexander the Great.

And finally, the forecast is good for a livestream of Max and Amal watching Trigun.

This is apparently still unfolding! Tumblr “news” is sometimes 5 years old so I wasn’t sure 😂 The latest - it’s up to #3!!

LMFAOO YEAH I JUST SAW IT HIT #3 been trying to keep this post updated but didn’t want to spam, and the speed at which these things have been happening is beautifully astounding so:

trigun, following bigolas dickolas, has also become a trending topic in business and finance

Interview with Bun (or Mr. Bigolas)

Crossover art (https://twitter.com/xxrat__punkxx/status/1656446745088278529?s=20)

thread of semi-current placements on the book

memes

and the situation very much escaping online confinement xD

A significant number of hours later (and too much to summarize):

Time War summary: reached #3 on Amazon overall, #1 (and 2, And 3) in science fiction romance, #3 in lit and fiction, social media presence overseas, and- 

printing with a bigolas dickolas sleeve and so much more

Bridging the two: so many articles

And then on the bigolas dickolas trigun side-

And then after tweeting @ dark horse for a potential trigun maximum (trimax) reprint due to the eng verison being out of print for several years by this point:

so everything can now basically be summed by by this tweet!

(I don’t know if i’ll keep updating this thread considering how many branches there are and idk how much more this can escalate, but I’m keeping an eye on the situation so we’ll see!!)

For those asking what time war is about, per Mr. Bigolas’s post: DO NOT look up anything about it. Just read it.

For those asking about trigun, it is an amazing manga, anime adaptation, and new reboot anime.

thanks drunk me i really appreciate this

i’m not you and i don;t smoke but for some reason I looked? And I found  my missing hot water bottle and a cable so thanks.

Have you ever heard of something called the morphogenetic field?

If you thought “hm those styles of art AND speech seem very familiar,” you are right because it is the same person that did these

Oh my god damn

no one follows the trees warning

You know the parable about how the foolish man built his house upon sand and the wise man built his house upon rock and it’s always about having a sturdy foundation well there is also the fact of location which is that the sand probably used to be rock except it’s been eroded to sediment because it’s a FUCKING FLOODPLAIN

I feel like a dumbass, but @rapidashmascot just revolutionised my understanding of that parable.

The three genders

in times like these at least i have the character

The biggest compliment ever is when someone sees your creative work and says that they’re now inspired to go out and create something, too

today i learned that there are cave paintings of bats and i think you all deserve to see them

These are from Australia & show a bat that is probably now extinct. The bat depictions were found on a sandstone wall protected by overhangs, near Kalumburu.

oh i forgot to post this here. i made in on my phone while in court to change my legal name lol

thought autocomplete would take me to outlook dot com not realising id forgotten the T before i pressed enter. However was very much pleased at what it took me to instead. I think I don't want to see my emails now. I think I will stay with the oul.

you can be peeling a boiled egg and think to yourself wow. that was so simple. and then you peel another one and it’s like being in the throes of war. shell everywhere. egg mangled. tears in your eyes. that’s how god keeps you humble

The word you are looking for is “selfish.” Not narcissist, not sociopath, selfish.

I thought that it was a bit on the nose that the hormone that causes ligaments to loosen during menstruation and pregnancy is called relaxin, but I just found out that the protein that causes jizz to coagulate is called semenogelin.

Guess what this insect parasite's toxin does to the host. Go on, guess
