Have you been inducted into the beautiful gospel of Dozerfleet and his Stationery Voyagers?

Djeser
Mar 22, 2013


it's crow time again

Mostly just Dozerfleet and a looot of dumb Troper nonsense.

Speaking of this is one of the "Trending Characters"

quote:

Liquidon Ethereteel is a character in Stationery Voyagers. He is based on the 2000 model year Gillette™ Liquid Paper™ Pen.

Biography

was a martial arts student in the school of Mikloche, where he gained powers of flight and teleportation. Also aspiring to be a doctor, Li and his brother Liquimo would spend entire weeks visiting villages and helping out the sick and needy; often spending their breaks by sparring in the hillsides.

When early wind caught on of the Voyager program, Liquidon immediately took an interest. He wanted to be a medic aboard whatever vessel would help Stato and Verinthia as nations to make more allies.
LiquidonSimvatar

Liquidon's Mantithian form

Things took a turn for ugly when Astrabolo and Astriliad, twin figureheads of the Yehtzig Pirate League, invaded the hillside and began scouting. Astriliad very quickly got himself into trouble, leading to him sparring with Liquimo. He very nearly sent Liquimo falling off a cliff to his death— but then Liquidon in a split-second maneuver caught Astriliad off guard! As the cruel pirate lord fell to his demise, his brother Astrabolo flew into a rage!

Astrabolo retreated, only to begin a relentless campaign to bring about genocide one way or another against the entire Whiteout species! Liquidon now carries the burden of guilt over his role in Astrabolo's ambitions, as he seeks to make things right while aiding the Voyagers in their missions.

As a Whiteout and a practitioner of Mikloche, Liquidon is the most powerful member of the team. By season 3, his powers include flight, teleportation, seismic burst, rapid momentum transfer, rapid shockwave generation, enhanced telekinesis, super speed, super strength, and enhanced bio-luminance. His power is considered dangerous, as he gives off large amounts of ultraviolet radiation whenever he uses it. Possible dangers of overuse include brain damage, Glowmatti suicide, inflicting friends with cancer, or simply turning into a nuclear bomb and destroying an entire city.

If someone cares about TV Tropes, they're doing it wrong. This is a mock thread; the point is that the people on that site are really goddamn stupid and, consequentially, really goddamn funny.

I mean I've seen the LSD fueled crayon scribbles of Nava-Verse, and I kinda can understand it from a Chris-chan like perspective. But this Dozerfleet...It transcends that sort of autism, with over 3 million words detailing the various kinds of fake TV shows, video games, and movies that this fictional franchise has, complete with lovely and insane Second Life art.
I don't even feel any sort of humor in this, I just feel my brain melting.

I think we need to repost some of the gems we came across last time we came across Dozerfleet in this thread:

The plot summary of Stationery Voyagers:

quote:

Utah (merged with California,) Japan, and Ukraine are all that's left of the free world. Spain is an empire. [[TheWarOnTerror Pakistan]] has nearly taken over the world, but Spain wants to stop Pakistan dead in its tracks before any more innocent lives are lost. Already, Ukraine is performing kamikaze missions. It's up to Utah to convince Japan to join forces in an alliance before they're all annexed to Spain. So they send a team of diplomats to Seattle to assess the damage there, and they're nearly wiped out by a SerialKiller who has an entire library full of {{Freudian Excuse}}s.

They finally make it to Japan, only to battle ThePlague being spread in schools because Planned Parenthood defected to Pakistan. They escape from that debacle and find themselves trapped in Springfield, which has been renamed [[WretchedHive New Gomorrah]] because DepravedHomosexual mobs and angels dressed like Stormtroopers are [[DeathWorld battling each other to the death]].

And one of the diplomats begins dating a Bulgarian vampire. Suddenly, we discover that Iran has been taken over by Jared Loughner in a bobcat suit. He's renamed it [[StupidEvil New Amalek]], and only Pakistan agrees to be [[OmnicidalNeutral neutral]]. Spain and Utah join forces with Japan to defeat their common enemy in [[ApocalypseHitler Bobcat Loughner's]] nation of evil. Then the Spanish empire collapses. Utah and Japan are left to their own device to deal with Pakistan.

And ExtyYearsFromNow, Utah residents are forced to move to Spain when Pakistan drops TheDeadliestMushroom on Salt Lake City. Then, it's up to treasure hunters to make sure Pakistan doesn't find the blueprints to make a DeathRay.

His penetrating insights into modern politics:

quote:

It's obvious: Obama wants to rebuild the Ottoman Empire. He wants Kenya to be annexed to said rebuilt empire. Everything he does is about rebuilding the Ottoman Empire - with the most corrupt of the corrupt bands responsible for its original downfall to be put in charge. It's petty revenge by that faction for not being allowed to have total control of the empire a century ago. Blaming those Muslims who were not interested in being controlled by the Brotherhood for the empire falling apart when it was really the Brotherhood's fault all along.

The Brotherhood is trying to once again shift the blame for something they did wrong over a century ago. And this rebuilding effort is little more than them seeking validation of what their ancestors did over a century ago. They cannot tolerate history judging them and deeming them unfit for rule because they backed Kaiser Wilhelm.

A unique perspective on the history leading up to Hobby Lobby:

quote:

The Church of the Apostates wasted precious little time in helping Secular Humanist enemies of the Invisible Church to identify and target any and all opposition to the State and its wicked agenda. Homosexual Marxist radicals, Jihadists, and every other shade of evil imaginable, descended upon said Invisible Church in lawless fury, knowing the State would make excuses for their abuses at every turn. This happened in near-identical fashion to what happened in Germany in the 1930s and 1940s, yet happened on American soil.

Perverting the Two Jurisdictions into the Two "Kingdoms," Hitler employed the word "kingdoms," far too open to theocratic misinterpretation and therefore a word that Martin Luther refused to use in his writings; and Hitler used it to create his own Church of the Apostates. The church institutions that sold out to Hitler were merciless, paying lip service to God on Sunday while aiding and abetting the state in exterminating Jews on Monday. One of the only churches in Nazi Germany that refused to cave in was the Church of the Lutheran Confession, a forgotten and unsung hero of WWII. Obama decided to rekindle some of that spirit with his own minions.

After the Marquis de Sade was executed, his disciples decided to employ his propaganda. Anyone who opposed their barbaric cruelty towards their murder and rape victims was accused of being an "irrational bigot" for opposing brutal rape and murder. These followers of de Sade, the Sadeans, became the origin of the terms "sadism" and "sadistic." The original Sadeans eventually moved from France to Germany, becoming a core component of the Nazi Party. The Pink Swastika consisted of manly gays mostly. They would target more effeminate gays for execution, not only as a way of establishing dominance, but also as a way of eliminating those they felt were Stalin sympathizers. This would later get twisted by American academia as all gays having been "victims" in WWII, so as to fool gullible students into not exploring the real history of militant homosexuals' love of tyranny.

Hitler employed the Pink Swastika for many missions, noting they were willing to deal out to those on Hitler's hit list a brutality that could not be asked of just any Nazi soldier. The Pink Swastika therefore became one of Hitler's personal goon squads, sent out for missions not even the SS and Gestapo dared attempt due to the horrifying nature of given commands.

After WWII, the Pink Swastika invaded the US. In order to take advantage of the myths being propagated by Alfred Kinsey and his diabolical minions, they decided to scrap their true name in favor of more benevolent-sounding names. From there, they'd campaign to give themselves an illusion of cultural legitimacy. They capitalized on the black civil rights movement, and tried to paint their ruthless aggressors as "victims" of "oppression." After several decades, US media fell for it, and began expanding the myth. The Pink Swastika became two organizations: GLSEN and NAMBLA, only pretending not to be one and the same. From there, they spawned countless satellites and fronts, such as GLAAD, and became the LGBT Mafia, or "Crooked Rainbow," that they are today.

In the Dozerfleet founder's own words:

quote:

After much deliberation of thought, the Dozerfleet founder allowed Dozerfleet Productions to gain its current name.

He had a vision of a story, one that would become known as Ride of the Three Bulldozers. In it, Ivan is chased out of his village when socialist infiltrators decide to create chaos within the region. But since nobody in the town is particularly rich or poor to begin with, wealth is pretty much already evenly distributed. Frustrated, the infiltrators began slaughtering at random, then seized control. Because even if there already was equality in the village, it meant nothing to the infiltrators unless there was also central control - with themselves as the central planners. That the town became what it was through the exact opposite of central planning was unacceptable to them. And they knew more than anything that Ivan's refusal to bow to their whims made his thought process too Western - so they had him exiled. But as tyranny spread, the infiltrators began to alienate the town. A counter-revolution was underway. Ivan was originally a friend of various birds, yet even they turned on him. His thoughts became industrial, and he eventually hijacked a nearby construction vehicle storage bay. From there, he helped organize a counter-revolution when the allies he acquired agreed to use the stolen construction vehicles as tanks. The fleet would clear a path for freedom from the Central Planners, and clear a path so that lovers of liberty could take back their freedoms.

One evening, the Central Planners began a scorched-earth policy to protect themselves as their power waned. They returned to slaughtering masses, as they'd always done. But their troops soon had to deal with an unruly populace that rose up. Next they knew, three bulldozers entered the main road, with infantry following close behind. Behind that were more vehicles, being used as tanks. The Central Planners were soon hunted down, and the town freed. The three main bulldozers, or dozer fleet, became symbolic to the town of the price of freedom. Ivan was never seen again.
