Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
If it keeps you from killing yourself it's not stupid. This applies to anything btw.
Bestie. How dare you leave “do not mock the life preserver…” in the tags.

What the hell is this doing on my tumblr dashboard in 2021. What’s happening. None of you know what this is. Nobody even heard of this when I was on it in 1998.
“Palace Chat” was a chat program that worked like club penguin except it came out almost ten years prior and it was meant for adults. When I got addicted to it in 1998 I had to be in the 1% of users under 30. The smiley faces were default avatars you had if you didn’t make a proper account. Once you had a username you could import any image files you wanted into Palace “Props” you could edit, share, mix up and reposition to make your own avatars. I grabbed this screenshot off google but I have literally been in this very room. Milton’s avatar looks cool, does anybody know what that’s from? People made palace chat servers that were like elaborate exploration games with free props hidden around like items which was cool but none of the users seemed to care about that stuff so they’d just hang around the main entry room and talk all day about their sex lives or whether or not Bill Clinton ruined America. I originally watched the world premieres of Futurama and later Invader Zim in real time with a bunch of people on “The Anime Palace.” I had a “TV Card” in my desktop PC allowing me to watch television on my computer and take screenshots. I made an avatar out of a screenshot from the intro. I had possibly one of the world’s first Invader Zim chat avatars. Then I had an argument with someone who thought it was going to be trendy just because Jhonen Vasquez made it and they didn’t believe me that I actually hadn’t heard of him before.
Sorry I re-reblog more often these days (nobody sees edit additions and nobody knows what I’m talking about if I make a whole new post??) but here are other funny memories of this obscure internet chapter:
- Positioning yourself where your avatar overlaps or touches someone else’s without their permission was considered so rude a mod would step in.
- Making exactly the same avatar as someone else on purpose, even if it’s just a popular video game character or whatever, was even ruder.
- Every time you moved or you changed avatars, the server had to process it for everybody. Being too fidgety could lag or crash other users.
- You could assign favorite avatars to hotkeys. If you mashed those keys quickly enough it would lag everyone so bad that doing this often got you a permaban.
- You were able to move by either clicking or using the arrow keys but using the arrow keys or “sliding” also lagged everyone, like everyone’s chat would freeze until you stopped moving.
- So a troll could just hold their arrow keys and hotkeys simultaneously to glide around the room cycling through their avatars non-stop and basically giving everyone blue screens of death.
- Mods had the ability to lock you into the default avatar, which people thought of as “stripping” you, and they could trap your avatar in place which not only “stripped” it but displayed chains and padlocks over the smiley face.
- EVERY troll would say “….kinky” whenever that happened.
- Lots of couples would make complementary avatars or avatars that could fit together.
- It was possible to position yourself so your username was off screen and some people would then wear an avatar made from a piece of the room’s background image, perfectly camouflaging themselves.
- Some people did this in private rooms hoping to eavesdrop on people who didn’t know this was a thing or that you could check the actual number of users in the room with you
- You had to download the official Palace color palette file and apply it to your chosen image in a paint program for it not to look like complete ass when imported as an avatar
- People skilled enough at making avatars look at all decent would be rewarded with rare props, mod powers, whatever
- There were private rooms and private chat function but accidentally broadcasting your text as a public announcement to the whole room was one misclick away
- One time a moderator disappeared with their girlfriend into a private room for a while and nobody had ANY means of contacting them to tell them they were sending their internet sex as a stream of announcements to all 100+ rooms and 1000+ users on at the time for like an hour
- Crucial to your appreciation of that last note, announcements were often set up to display as speech bubbles from the mouths of like, anime characters or the MST3K robots integrated into the background images
ill always find it amusing when american fiction wants to be moralistic about not killing the bad guy but the author doesnt actually have a more humane way of resolving the conflict so they instead take the infinitely more progressive solution of "indefinite imprisonment"
This is my discomfort character I want to see them in unimaginable pain
there was absolutely no need for the word asphyxiation to be as erotic as it is. like you've already got suffocating choking strangulation etc. and then here comes miss asphyxia serving rare letter combinations that when combined sound like a gasp for air like it's nothing.
