Jessie The Killer (Part 1)

In the shadow-soaked streets of Seattle, where spring should have bloomed with renewal but instead cloaked the city in a sullen gloom, Jessie trudged toward her GED class. She was eighteen, a wiry five-foot-two girl with blonde hair hacked into a jagged bob that framed a face etched with perpetual resentment. Her faded blue eyes, like washed-out denim, burned with a hate that simmered just below the surface, ready to erupt at the slightest spark. Jessie was not just angry; she was a vessel of ra

The Cat's 9th Life

In the shadowed outskirts of Derry, Maine, where the Penobscot River whispered secrets to the overgrown banks and the old mill houses sagged like weary old men under the weight of forgotten dreams, there lived a man named Elias Thorn. Folks in town called him Old Eli, or sometimes just "that queer fella up on Ridge Road," because he kept to himself, rarely venturing into the bustling heart of Derry where the **** rode their bikes in endless loops and the adults swapped gossip over coffee at the

The Ideal Parents vs What We Got (Millennials to Boomers)

A participant in the Onision Forum recently mentioned experiences with parenthood, prompting me to share thoughts on the subject. During my early years, I often felt frustrated by how adults managed daily life. It seemed to me that they made decisions without clear logic, sometimes appearing to choose inefficient paths that created unnecessary tension for those they were raising. Rules Imposed by Parents Many parents establish numerous guidelines, particularly those from the baby boomer generat

My Weight Loss Journey (Onision)

Starting Point and Goal I've been on this weight loss journey for about a month and a half now. At 5'11", starting at 193 pounds felt heavy; my BMI was high, which put me in the overweight category. My target is 167 pounds, what I weighed in my early 20s when I was at my fittest, still the same height. That'd bring my BMI to the middle of the healthy range. I'm down to 177 pounds so far, and the rate I'm losing weight allegedly aligns with sustainable weight loss recommendations from health expe

We’re Obsessed with Mass Shootings while Ignoring Hundreds of Thousands of Other Deaths

Mass shootings grab our attention, and for good reason. In 2023, the Gun Violence Archive reported 722 deaths from incidents where four or more people were shot, not counting the shooter. The FBI’s narrower definition of active shooter events counted 105 deaths that year. Those are real people, real losses, and it hurts to think about. But here’s the reality check: those numbers pale next to what else is killing us. Most all of you are stepping over the bodies of HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE,

Doubt, Desire, and the Absurdity of Life

The human condition is a relentless churn of fleeting desires and existential unease for some... one day, you’re consumed by a spark—say, launching a daily blog to chronicle the raw pulse of your existence. It feels vital, urgent, like a tether to meaning. A week later, the fire’s gone out, and you’re left wondering, “Why bother? Who cares about my thoughts? Do I even care?” That flicker of doubt exposes a deeper truth: we crave something to anchor us, a pursuit that holds its shine beyond the i

We Don't Exist as Individuals (The Reality of Who You Are)

Determinism and the Illusion of Self It's really unfortunate... but this is just the way things are... you don't actually exist, and neither do I. I've gone through the typical speech plenty of times... we're born into our lives beyond our individual choices, no one asked us we're conditioned to become who we are by our environment we have chemistry in our heads that is again, beyond our control, and yet it decides literally who we are the time period we're born into, the things people do t

Metal Gear Solid Delta (Reviews, Jokes & Facts... Crab Battle)

First off... if you want to get the game, just click here. I'm buying the game myself because I personally love the game... been playing it since I was like... 11? Wild right? Like... the series. I started at Metal Gear Solid for the PS1, and have personally met the voice actor for Solid Snake (dream come true I guess). The reason I like this game series so much is it's super deep. It reflects on reality itself, the world we live in, while adding a supernatural element - the chemistry of many

Secret To Life I Guess

So… being pretty much 40 years old, I figure I should share my wisdom thus far… a lot of us have ideas about “finding happiness” and yet the quest is never ending… or at least inconclusive for so many… I don’t think I’ll ever “find happiness” because of what I’ve gone through… I feel like I’m broken, permanently… but something I know I can do, is understand how to deal with my own life and emotions in a way that is manageable. …so what does that mean? First and foremost, listening to yourself… a

First Onision Blog Post

Hello everyone... I've had this itch to start a blog, similar to the "start a forum" itch. The forum was decently popular initially, but I stopped promoting it, and it's not an evergreen concept if you don't rank high in Google results. With that in mind, I've decided to launch this blog, so I can add purpose and value to this site, focusing on growth and sustainability rather than just letting the forum walk into the darkness like every forum I've had before (like... a lot of forums).
