Cass Oakdown/Panopticon Dump Thread

[lb_lee]

Okay, this has happened enough times that I feel like it might prove useful.

Since I finished the Cultiples series, ex-followers of Panopticon's groups have been coming forward to speak to me.  There's been a decent few of them, and I thought it might be best for them to have a centralized place to share their stories, link-dump, and otherwise talk with each other, if they so desire.  Anon comments are turned on, and also screened, so that none will appear unless I specifically say so; if you want your words unscreened, just say so, otherwise they will remain hidden.  I will keep the comments moderated.

Panopticon has my blog staked out, and they may retaliate.  Be aware.

I will also use this as a centralized post to note those folks who have already come forward and stated they're okay with being public:

• Pigeon, Panopticon's former roommate's testimony. (And here's the thread where they said they were okay with it being public.) (EDIT: tumblr purged the post, so here is the archived version.)

ae is their TikTok. Probably is them anywhere else you find that phrase, too, can’t find it anywhere else. Who knows wtf it means.

If I'm understanding the Elder Scrolls Online linguistics properly, it's Daedra for "is the hand of Ayem [Almalexia]."

The Hands of Almalexia are the personal guards of Almalexia, apparently. From the Wiki:

"The Hands are pledged to honor, protect, and serve Almalexia in all ways. [...] Some say the Hands are the most terrible mortal warriors in the world. [...] In the past they used to spend much of their time punishing criminals and protecting the people. Now they spend all their time protecting Almalexia. [...] Speaking to any of the Hands will have them express their undying loyalty towards Almalexia, after which they will send you on your way: 'We await the Goddess' command. Her word is our law. There is no time to speak with the likes of you.' If you are wearing the sacred cuirass and/or helmet, conversing with a Hand will have them stay their hand, unlike with other High Ordinators: 'You wear the sacred garb of the Ordinator, but you are not of the Order. I stay my hand solely at the Lady's discretion. Speak with me no more.'"

If they’re not already privately calling themselves her consort/godspouse, they will be soon. We’d bet all 12 of our spurs on it. If we knew their address, we’d go ahead and mail them an Almalexia body pillow.
