Starring SCARMOLD, a DEMONFOX TRAPDYKE experiencing ALL ANGLES of THE WRINGER in SPECTACULAR SLOW-MOTION, for EVERYONE'S ENJOYMENT and NOBODY'S GAIN.

It's alright though.

I always got weird vibes from her.

• With the hindsight of Q3 2025, I think the only notable change I'd make to Two in Quintuplelife would be rephrasing the part in TRACK 4 where I describe "premature exposure to porn" as part of my Ageplay Origin Story. Because as I've explained in my retroactive critique of LP8's lyrics, I don't actually think exposure alone is the problem, so much as it is the lack of education I had. So while it is true for me that ageplay can function as Reclamation of Agency, my desire for said agency isn't a result of The Porn Beaming Its Evil Porn Particles Into My Brain Because Porn Is Evil Because It's Porn; it stems from a longing to have discovered sexuality at my own pace, been given proper context, safely share that experience with someone of my age, et cetera. Hopefully that makes sense.

• Besides a select few fairly innocuous ones that were shown to me against my will, I have still not read a single response to this project from The Comment Sections, and have zero intention of changing that, because I see nothing to gain from it. The inclusion of Two in Quintuplelife was never about Directly Debating Internet Strangers Who May Or May Not Be Acting In Bad Faith; it was a litmus test that I desperately needed to get off my chest before accruing a following too big for my own good, lest I later be turned on by an army I never asked for. There's also an element of performance art to it, in how I simply Allowed some version of myself to be subsumed into The Discourse Vortex for anyone to play with as they please, doing so in a uniquely detached fashion thanks to the unusual format of Music, and my refusal to engage with any of the reception. I think that invites some interesting questions for the listener; do you actually care about any of this, or do you just get off on feeling like you won an argument? Does any of it still matter in a vacuum, without an active opponent to debate any further?

Of course, none of that has stopped my brain from imagining which angles The Opposition might theoretically take, and subsequently responding to those fabricated arguments. For instance, perhaps one could argue that what I've done here contradicts the message of Queer Unity on display in VIRLGOID, since I was specifically aiming to alienate a possible part of my audience. To that I would say a few things: firstly, the stances I take here aren't even especially radical at their core. It does not take a genius to figure out that the function of callout culture is to socially isolate rather than to rehabilitate, nor to figure out that taboo sexual fantasies have been observed in countless people for numerous reasons and do not necessarily translate to real-world behavior. The fact that these are such needlessly divisive topics in the online queer spaces I've inhabited is exactly what I wanted to challenge! It does not make me The Aggressor to encourage open-mindedness in those areas, any more so than my existence as a trans woman makes me The Aggressor to gay men who think we should "Drop the T". Some hills are worth dying on if we actually want to make longterm social progress. We cannot allow room for this reactionary Othering when that is exactly the kind of mechanism which enables our oppression. I want to unify, but unfortunately, a nontrivial portion of my so-called "community" treats people like me as Thought Criminals who must be exterminated, which I think is plenty worth interrogating.

But again, this is an invention of the brain. No one has claimed that I'm "being too divisive", at least as far as I'm aware. It's plausible, but not something I know for certain, and ideally never will. What I do know for certain is that multiple people have reached out to me in private to express their appreciation for my approach to these subjects, whether they be victims of abuse themselves or simply allies, and having made even just a few fellow freaks feel Seen means the world to me, regardless of whether or not I'll ever be able to change the minds of those who want us dead. The connections I strengthened absolutely make up for the connections I lost; it's crucial to have an inner circle I can trust not to unceremoniously dispose of me over effectively Nothing, and to provide legitimately constructive feedback when needed, which you sure as hell aren't gonna get from random keyboard warriors on social media.

• Sonically, this EP was originally going to cover a broader range of abrasive electronic styles, but the scope was reined in due to a combination of time constraints and plans changing, as indicated by this note:

fuck it all frankly . just power electronics basically and offload the darksynth and such to cinema absolution 2026. this is ideal for numerous reasons (both scheduling-wise & general artistic priority)

• The semantic density of this EP's tracklist is comparable to LP8's, albeit not so absurdly opaque. For that reason, I don't feel the need to elaborate much.
