call-me-al asked: er. hi! i'm sorry for being so clueless, but i have a couple questions:
* in-universe: what's a risk/danger rating, and how is it calculated? (i... should probably know this already, i'm sorry.)
* out-of-universe: do you have any advice for someone trying to get involved in this universe (roleplaying etc.)? i'm fascinated by it but not particularly sure where...

landova asked: GA: update from the South of the Not-So-Great, colloquially known lovingly as Caro-BL/ind-a.
Flame Titan, reporting in.

It's hot as hell. Masks never go off, except in the dead of night; the same applies for winter, too. BL/ind has done a hell of a job down here, even without a major distribution center in the two BL/ind-as. They've managed to set one up in the old...

immigranteyes asked: Letters from Girl Automatic just arrived in The South- East Sector of Canada (formerly known as BC before some jerk city stole the abreviation and turned it into something evil instead of beautiful). Helpful hint: if you ever decide to come back and explore, stay out of the Surrey region. It's turned into a mini Battery City except with more slums and trees. Stick to Vancouver. That...

shutupdont asked: Hey, Hi, Hello. I don't know where to start with this but I'm actually getting interested in joining in on the Dangerverse, you know? But I need a killer Killjoy name. I want to do something with Arsenic in it, no idea why it just sounds cool to me. Do you have any tips on how to think one up?

technicolorraven: This is Technicolor Raven, transmitting from her home base in Zone 3. How are the Holidays going, Killjoys? I’ve sure had a lot of fun. Cannot wait to see what surprises 2020 stored for us. Okay, lets talk about business. Not long ago, a fellow Killjoy asked me the directions to get into Battery City, and i know what you’re thinking: “That’s fucking suicide”, and indeed, it...

kaleighbytheway asked: Letters from Girl Automatic have appeared in the Northern Region of Canada. It's good to hear things are milkshake down South. Tamales are a rare delicacy up here, but bless my lucky stars I've tried them, and they were delicious. Hope your new year starts off drac free and shiny. Best wishes, Electric EverAfter.

Yes, it’s in English. Yes, Janove and Øyvind look like an adorable married couple, which is only a little unusual in that I’m used to Janove and Geir looking like the AMC or Janove and Terje. No, I cannot wait for the first volume of the new record trilogy. Oh, my God, why don’t I live in Europe so I can go see these guys live and not have to pay out the void for imported CDs?...

Character Survey: Girl Automatic

You can find a blank of the meme here on DeviantART, but I’m still debating whether or not I’ll post it there, mainly because I’m still poking at some parts, like the in-depth description of the wheelchairs and also where to put the description of tattoos. —-Start with the Basics—-♥ Full name: [CLASSIFIED] Nicknames and aliases: Girl Automatic Age: Indeterminable....

Is it wrong I can’t shake the feeling that the title should be rearranged to read “A Cartoonist and His Rock Star Alter-Ego”? All the same. Interesting little Q&A.

Admittedly, there’s a chilly thrill in moving with the herd while quietly being tuned in to something dark, complicated, and unknown just beneath the topsoil of popularity. Something about which, while we moved with the herd, we could share a wink and a nod with two or three other similarly connected herdlings. Passed on to me by Girl Apocalypse, I now pass it on to you guys. Quite a...

C is for cookie. Ha! Seriously, tho. :)
C in CAC stands for… Carlos Cortez; often signing artworks by implementation of initials and various times dichotomous insignia of symbolism a la a wolf insignia.

If you are just tuning in to this station, both volumes of The Index are updated to include all the important stuff you might be interested in reading up. Volume I is all the stuff I’ve posted (or reblogged from other places) and Volume II collects all of the theories and media kindly submitted by others. The Tales from the Dangerverse page has also been updated, so you can check that out....

eyesvacantand-stained asked: Hey, I don't know if you want to post this or whatever, but I have a blog that's called Concert Horror Stories and I was wondering if you would help share the word. I don't mean to send this as spam, I just want to try to get the word out! It's a blog about horror stories that happened to people at concerts.

mari-kitty: girlautomatic: girlapocalypse: agentblackwidow: I like your belt Gerard, did you steal it from Lindsey? He duct-taped his pants. He showed up to a photoshoot and just duct-tapes his pants. Seriously, what is he? 1. He probably did. I’m increasingly convinced they only have one closet where only underthings are divided into His and Hers. 2. How did I never notice the duct...

30 DoT: Days 23 & 24

I don’t know how I forgot to do Day 23 yesterday; I’ve been looking forward to do so since I started doing this thing! XD In any case, here are a couple non-depressing ones. Day 23: The last person you kissed. If we’re talking non-family kisses, then Amanda Palmer in Austin last month, when I met her and Brian after The Dresden Dolls show. My continued amusement about this has...

lather-rinse-retreat asked: Merry Christmas, I hope you have a great one :) xx

lifeisbutadreamforthedead asked: How's it going this Holiday season?
I'm spreading the love right now so Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays<3
I've sure enjoyed theorizing with you this year, so glad the boys are back!
Have a great day and don't ever stop being so awesome :3

Quite honestly, there’s nobody I can think of at the moment. I do believe, though, that second chances are earned and shouldn’t be freely given—especially in the case of people who deliberately hurt you and have no redeeming qualities to recommend them. Letting people like that back into your life, which generally goes hand-in-hand with saying you forgive them when you really...

For me it was the other way around. The first time I heard “Vampires Will Never Hurt You” my only real major fandom was the show, so it was more like, “Are these the same guys who did the intro theme to Buffy? Why does it sound so similar?” Turns out they weren’t the ones who did the theme (it’s by a band called Nerf Herder) but all the same…

Anonymous asked: The snow falls on the aged city like shattered glass, like the sky has been crushed into thousands of small pieces, quiet yet menacing as they threaten to cut me. The flakes of ice could slice my soul and I fear all my thoughts might spill out if they do. All the good and all the bad and all the in-between, would just ooze out, like blood, like red, blue, black and yellow liquid. It would stain...

30 DoT: Days 20 & 21

Day 20: The one that broke your heart the hardest. Some things should remain secret. Day 21: Someone you judged by their first impression. I can’t really think of anything, apart from this good-looking guy my freshman year of college. He dressed like he shopped at Abercrombie & Fitch or Aeropostale and listened to stuff like…I dunno, LFO. (Anybody remember them?) When we got to...
