ONE ... this is a mutuals only, very selective writing blog for adam murray of the analog horror youtube series the mandela catalogue. canon divergent and my portayal of adam is heavily headcanon influenced. i'm critical of his fanon interpretation.his character boils down to his humanity warring against being an alternate. polar natures clashing inside a myspace-era chronically online emo boy penchant for violence and connection. he's a cringefail cryptid.TWO ... due to the nature of this blog, i'm strictly 20+ only. anyone younger will be hardblocked. the mandela catalogue is a piece of horror media, so mature content will be present; including but not exclusive to: religious themes, unreality, violence, mentions of suicide, etc. everything is tagged accordingly with "trigger /".THREE ... my writing style is usually para to multi-para, sometimes becoming novella depending on if it's a plotted thread. second person narration is my bread and butter. i use regular sized, single-space font with bolded text for dialogue. sometimes i use icons, sometimes i don't. my eyes suck so i try to limit formatting. i don't interact with blogs who use too much purple prose or overly format their replies. i don't mind my answered asks being turned into threads, but i can make them a separate post if that's preferred.FOUR ... i adore shipping, but adam is difficult so chemistry and thorough plotting are required. forceshipping gets an automatic hardblock. so does godmodding. a huge pet peeve of mine is for assumptions to be made about my characterization. please ask for clarification about anything, and i'll be happy to explain.

FIVE ...i don't tolerate any kind of bigotry. racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. are all met with a hardblock. i don't participate in callout culture (unless it's absolutely justified) - just talk to me privately if i'm interacting with someone problematic. don't be shitty and we'll get along.SIX ... my activity fluctuates depending on my schedule and energy. i consider myself medium to high activity and my messages are always open for plotting/chatting. discord is my preferred method of communication and will be given out of asked. i lurk on the dash a lot, writing when the inspiration strikes. pls be patient with me.SEVEN ... my name is caro, i'm 24, she/her and in the cst. i work 5 days a week and have weekends off, so i try to be mostly active then. i'm autistic and hyperfixiate on mostly video games. if i'm not working or on the dash, i'm gaming.

a brief rundown of alternates and what makes adam different than the rest: tldr, alternates are demons. they mimic humans (through presenting themselves through analog, like television and radio), and get inside their heads which drives them to suicide (so they can be replaced by an alternate). mandela county is a hotspot, but it's a worldwide phenomenon. for the sake of rp purposes, it's not a huge ordeal like it is in the series (because there's been laws enacted that require the destruction of mirrors, televisions, and radios); but their presence is well known. adam is an alternate living as a human. he was kidnapped and body-swapped as a toddler after being exposed to television. until the latest installment of the series, he has no idea.

adam is also the first of his kind. around three thousand children in surrounding counties went missing and were killed and replaced with alternate counterparts. adam, akin to his biblical namesake, is the first alternate to live as a human.for his main verse, he's on the run either by himself or with the "bythorne paranormal society" (a group of himself and two friends before getting expelled) after breaking into a government facility and stealing equipment. he performs paranormal investigations in the places he stops in. however, they're just a guise for his true intention: finding his mother, who (according to his father and the authorities) committed suicide after finding adam missing from his crib after leaving him in front of a television. adam believes alternates have something to do with her disappearance.
