Series: Essay
Summary: "Welcome to the jungle, everyone.” --Wednesday
Word Count: 2700
Notes: Ahaha, remember when this was going to be a two-part essay? Sorry guys. It's going to be four; no way could I cram in LJ-multiplicity, its downfall, and the exodus to tumblr and the genic wars. As usual, this essay was sponsored by the Patreon crew. Also, the (much shorter) video version of this essay went up while I was busy loony-braining. Thanks to our wonderful little studio audience!

( Let us put on a merry plural polka as we march through the earliest online wankery I've been able to find. )

Passionfruit Cheesecake

VR Viking made homemade passionfruit cheesecake, because I live a blessed life.  Much feasting was had.

Will color and clean this up later.
