STAFF Introduction: Indigo the Head of Security

He-he-here we go! He’s finally here! To write stuff for you! If you check this page! You can join us too!  Put your hands together! I want you to clap! As he’s introduced.. with this cool rap! Huh! Indi! INDIGO! Indi! Indigo is here!

One Hell of A Security Guy

Points for you if you got what that intro is based on! Clearly I am in a cheerful mood today and that is with good reason! I get to announce that my long time friend now going by the name of Indigo has joined the fray! I have known him for longer than I blog and as per today he will be on the fictional Payroll of the fictional Paradise, receiving fictional income for his fictional position as my head of security!  I think you know what his task is! That’s right he is trying to save you from fictional treats.. like pickpockets and pirates. He will do this by creating some amazing characters in his original stories that will walk around on Paradise  keeping you safe.. but he is also quite skilled in playing some video games and telling  you about them! It will keep you distracted but also that nasty pickpocket! How neat huh! If I put up to much party lights, he is also skilled enough in the electrical work so that we don’t all die in a blaze of fire and colourful glass so but yeah mostly he is just here to write his own things.  I bet he can tell you amazing tales set in the Fallout or Warhammer 40K Universe. 

Indigo is a fresh face on WordPress, with their only experience so far leaving likes and a few comments! So his content style will be a surprise to us all! We can expect some game reviews and fan fiction from him. I suspect we will mostly see character driven stories about warriors wielding  swords and armors. With an edgy grimdark twist. He’s probably also the guy who will keep me in check! “Pinkie have you read that comment yet?” ‘Don’t forget to reply to that person who @dded you on Twitter” If you are angry and mean.. I will also send him after you! If you think I am ignoring you.. you can send him after me! Perfect balance.
He is a  hard working confidant sort of speak who has his own.

I know for sure he is combining the  world of my tabletop and videogames to tell you an unique “what if story”  Yet he also talked about not one but two game reviews!  He mostly plays  shooting games.. but also the deeper rpgs and Soulsbornes! Sometimes even stuff  in between… as long as he gets to kill. I made him play Ducktales though! For breakfast he rips and tears into Deathclaws and in the afternoon he does scientific research how much fatboy mini nukes it takes to kill a demon. His knowledge of weaponry is also impressive so if you like to discuss Alucard’s guns.. our security officer will be here for you! You can recognise him by his unique look. Donning his Indigo outfit with pink belts!  Because when we play or work together, he always does something with pink! Such a good guy! That coat is a tad edgy though!

How I met Indigo

To introduce you a bit more to this man I shall tell you the story of how we met. In fact I have talked about some elements he brings to the table. I met Indigo trough Star Wars roleplay.. like four or so years ago. I was playing a Sith woman named Sy’ra  who felt like friendship is magic and the path to Power in the Sith.. starting out as a rival for a Zabraki love, soon Sy’ra won over his character Lelianne because of her sly and cunning ways. Which later blossomed into a nice and warm friendship between the two characters. My character formed a house of her own which resulted in a private Skype-group for friends and family members. Indigo was in that chat!  As time passed we bonded and enjoyed playing a lot. His characters a Mandalorian clan leader named Kraleth became my security officer and his daughter Lelianne, became Sy’ra bodyguard.. and they even had a short romance.. but Lelianne saw herself to much as a tool. Living only for Sy’ra. My Sith taught Lelianne to love herself for those who can’t love themselves and see themselves as items only can never be truly loved either.   It was a lesson Indigo also had to learn still. Indigo is a bit of an anime edgelord. The type that will sacrifice themselves to safe you.. even if the treat is a flew splashes of rain… because dying for someone is cool!  This mentality brought Indigo in trouble  a few times as a roleplayer. This selfless trait is a great thing for a security officer to have though! And he has experience with the job! Nothing will phase him anymore!

Indigo is a fair bit younger than me as well.It’s not like I could be his mom (there is only one person in my online tabletop, which by the way is not the D&D that stopped, that’s young enough to be my son). He might be able to tell me what G-Fuel is.. even though I never hear him talk about it.. and those who drink?! (it’s a drink right?) usually talk about it so I am unsure.   I bet he would love the Vinland Saga anime as he really likes dark and Military themes in stories. So I think that will tell you a bit what type of stories we can expect. I always tease him for the sheer amounts of edge he has in him. His coffee cups have bullets and skulls on them and he listens to so much metal that if you have a magnet on you it will stick to his ears… if there aren’t people with lots of piercings around or a living suit of armor of course. He’s the type of guy who drinks their coffee black just because it looks cooler in front of the others, but that also means there is more cream and sugar left for me!

For little over a year now I have made a tabletop game on mondays, that is basically an anime tabletop.. people can create their character and from all known media they have to fight against treats from other worlds.. like Hol Horse  from Jojo’s Bizarre Adventures or Dracula from the Castlevania games but also 4 world leaders and their Eldritch Horseman.. they employ to summon a big Eldritch evil upon this world.  During their journey the group can encounter characters from all across anime. For example they are working with Krul Tepes from Owari no Seraph and they have a rivalry with Perona from One Piece.. who works for Elon Musk to use her Horro Horro fruit to change the little Eldritch baby the has into a ultimate weapon to stop the greater evil.. at the cost of a few cities. Indigo here plays the seventh courier from Fallout New Vegas.. a fictional character that was supposed to be there as well..but ended up Isekaid..into our world.  As this game requires very much communication to build your character (as you can literally build whatever you want)  Indigo and I started to talk more and more and our friendship became tighter. 

When he asked to stream a few games in our Discord group I noticed how he would lack the platform there to show the games he is interested in.  Regardless how much I love Indigo.. Warhammer stuff is completely wasted on me and the one that is interested.. is only so when it’s convenient to them! So that’s why I thought! Maybe writing in a place like mine could let him tell those stories to a bit wider of an audience. Also based on some follower names I score surprisingly well  with those with edgy nicknames… so maybe you will like his style as well. His different palette compared to  mine when it comes to stories and games can make us cover such a wide arrangement of stuff. I feel he can compliment me very well! I will still be the best Pinkie.. but Indigo will provide the contrast to make my pink look even brighter.  Indigo hasn’t blogged before and is fairly new to WordPress so I want you all to give him a warm welcome! To Indigo, you will have to socialise a bit.. so use the WordPress reader to find yourself some Warhammer, or Soulsborne blogs, take a peek at the people welcoming you and be an awesome tomodachi for the amazing people in the community! A security guy can be scary but make sure to let them know you are secretly just a big cuddly bear . 

Even More STAFF to come?!

I could tell you plenty of stories about Indigo but instead I rather direct you to his Twitter, and ask you to wait and see what their posts will bring. Indigo is from Finland so like me he is a non native English speaker. I assume that means like me they are schooled in UK english so expect to see his top five FAVOURITE guns in video games and not his top five FAVORITE 40k Races, but I might be wrong here!  For those who think we spell Colour wrong I got good news! The third person that applied to write on this place is American! So we will be evenly distributed then.  I am still looking for a Canadian and an Australian to join so I can get all English variants gathered!


If you want to write but don’t want to maintain your own blog or if my blog covers topics you can’t put on your own website feel free to apply under STAFF wanted.  As long as you do not expect to be paid and as long as you respect everyone like I ask everyone to respect you things are totally going to be fine and you will always be good enough! I went through this phase myself.. where I felt like the lesser writer. Maybe I am the lesser writer to most.. but Indigo as well as Crow and Fred helped me remind me that no one writes like me.. Somewhere there is a guy.. in my case like Indigo.. who will like that style and the same goes for you! I wish for Paradise to be a platform for all of you who want to share your thoughts in a more low key way!  We are a holiday resort!  Ambition is for when you get back to real life! This is all about fun! So if you want to share stuff you feel you can not  share elsewhere.. feel free to apply even if your not Canadian or Australian! We will make you feel welcome.. and with that please everyone leave a comment to welcome Indigo! I want him to feel right at home!

As for my own words to Indigo! There is little to say I have not said yet in our chats! I am so happy for everything you did for this blog, for me so be able to offer you this platform for your thoughts makes me really happy. I know we have vastly different opinions on media but that is what makes this work so much I think! I have every bit of faith in you! I have seen your voice in Roleplaying and your writing and I know this is something unique to you. With a dash of Warhammer, a Dash of Hellsing but also a healthy does of old warrior values and an appreciation of tech I am 1000% sure you will add something new to this blog! You might have to check if there are blogs around in your posse using WordPress reader but I also think quite a few people around really will be interested in your voice so never be afraid to let it shine! Be yourself.. no matter how much flack for being to edgy I give you for it! It’s all in good spirit! Friends teasing each other and all! You are a dear friend and probably my most supportive friend..at least when it comes down to this hobby! So I am super thrilled to have you! Welcome to the team!  Welcome to Paradise! Also could you please look into that Yellow looking fellow. I was walking in the lobby today when I faceplante… I mean gracefully landed after tripping on a yellow bucket. He had a mob with him as well but he was just staring outside smirking at some daffodils….weird.

Indigo has no Kofi page to support yet! However if he ever does decide on doing this a banner to support him will show up on his own posts! All writers have their individual Kofi Pages, though Pinkie’s one is also used to maintain the website. Keep an eye out for ways to support Indigo and for now just make him feel welcome! Time for me to melt some more! And see you all very soon!

STAFF Introduction: Kuro the Bartender!

My Island Guests today is a special day! Today I shall introduce you to the first of my STAFF members , who will come join the team! Please all put your hands up for Kuro Let’s take a peek!

Little Bar of Horrors

Kuro joined my staff wanting to serve you refreshing cocktails of content. With ambition and boundless creativity this addition to the team will offer you one mean son of Pina Colada! If you like they can also offer you a derriere-whooping in games like Overwatch and they laugh at the challenge of Seikoro or Dark Souls…. Kuro is for real! So  straight away we can see why they will compliment the team very well! They aren’t much like me! Which is a very good thing because when it comes down to me being me, no one can beat Pinkie! She really the best Pinkie! Kuro definitely is the better Kuro though! I imagine them being a bit like Sebastian Michaelis ,one hell of a Bartender.  Their content cocktail speciality will be the Write-Tai cocktail!  For those who do not know what is the cocktail in which we explore stories we have written ourselves. Be it based on other properties , like fan fiction or completely original stories. Kupo’s  Write-Tai’s will usually be spiced with flavours of the orient. In particular flavours of the land of the rising sun… so you weebs and otaku are in pretty good hands here!

Stories can vary of course but Kuro has a taste for the dark! With a slight hint of opiates in their cocktails, much like in the classic Absinth of From Hell is to be believed, Kuro will bring us tales and spookums that play with the human mind. That sounds so much more impressive than anything I do already! So I do hope you all keep rooting for your Pinkie girl as well.So please be kind to me as well. As one of the island bartenders Kuro will have some strong tales to tell, some drinks to mix and they know exactly what  tanning beds at the pool will get occupied by hot anime girls!  Kuro is only the first joining the team! They will soon be joined by possibly a cleaning fairy and a security office. Contract negotiations for them are still pending though so we might find out they other talents as well!  Kuro’s talents however are already pretty well defined!  Kuro is a specialist in psychological horror! They even have their colour in their favour! Kuro is Japanese for black for those who don’t know and if there is a colour I tie to Japanese themed psychological horror it’s black! … and red.. but they have a lot of red details on their chibi so hey!  Great design from them!

Get to know Kuro

So today’s post will not be a long one! I have a day at the water planned and a massive 38 degrees Celsius which is 100 degrees Fahrenheit heatwave making things miserable for me. So it is okay to coast! But do you know who never coasts? That’s right it’s Kuro! Not only do they play their Soulsborne games and keep trying their utmost! Besides writing for Paradise they also are a part of team Kawai Paper Pandas. That’s right! Our Kuro is none other than Tsubaki Kuro! Blogger AND Novelist! Now that is dedication to the craft. Meanwhile I abandon you to play in the water for a bit! So aren’t you all glad you have a little Kuro in your life as well! Black as a colour really harmonises with pink as well so Kuro is also fashionable! Most important they are a coconut as well! That’s right they supported my Kofi and got a coconut representative as well. Check out Camp Coconut if you do not know what that is! So to those asking the question.. I want to be a coconut but also join the STAFF as well.. what do I pick?! You can do it all!

We are a happy little community that support each other. Come on and geek with us in the comments , twitter or  twitter! That’s right Tsubaki Kuro/Our Kuro has a twitter as well!  You should totally check it out to see some really funny.. but also at times slightly ‘naughty” stuff.  When I do say naughty do note that it is being said from the perspective of a Demisexual..it might be super vanilla!  Kuro is an American living in Ontario CA.. which is California not Canda! So that means Paradise might now be represented during proper US like times! It will also mean that I write in British English while Kuro shall write in American English! So while I represent the colour pink! They represent the color black! I measure in meters.. and Celsius, they will do other things. I hoped they were Canadian so we’d spell colour the same but Center differently! But alas! Twitter fooled me! So if you like to know all about Ontario California! Send them a dm on twitter! Also I am still looking for Canadian staff apparently!

For some reason these folks also seem Canadian to me!

On this blog we will see Kuro return to their routes of writing fiction! Will they write about other stuff as well? Time will tell! If you want their amazing voice to be heard be sure to leave a like and some love behind! I would like to ask you all to at least give them a warm welcome! Say something nice! Like “Welcome to Paradise Kuro” or “I  will have a Bacardi Cola” Kuro. Because if you read my Blogger’s I’d invite to my island party you know! If you wanna party on the island you gotta work! So our first bartender we will have.  I think we shall let Kuro man the pool! There are more girls there! The guys are out surfing at the beach! I also occasionally surf but then the guys go “Pinkie you are not really surfing you are just sitting on a Pikachu on the water” .. .and I’d be like.. but it knows the HM Surf you guys! We all good! Anyway yes Kuro will man the Tiki cantina so they have good look at the hula dancers and Jimmy Buffett. Gotta have Jimmy Buffett in Paradise as well. But don’t worry Kuro .. it will mostly be Hula dancers. A wise man once told me to also invite Barry Manilow! See now this is a party! Join the party and praise our new hero Kuro!

More STAFF to come!

It won’t be long before yet another STAFF member will join the ranks! Who is it?! Well one of them is another coconut and another is a WordPresser I very much adore! One will represent hotel security but we don’t have a Chibi for them yet! Nor introduction stuff. It could be a few days! But they have the time! Paradise is a place of vacation there are no deadlines! No stress. Just cocktails. Plus a lot of bloggers so old we do not even know what G-fuel is! So it’s a haven for the geeks and a retirement home for geeks as well. Can’t wait to play our Storm Trooper Shuffleboard! Which is Shuffleboard but you do it blind! How droll! Luckily Kuro and one of the other new Staff are a bit younger.. so they can help us old folks (I’m 33,7 by the way) connect to the young whippersnappers!

Joking aside Paradise will always be a place of inclusion! If you feel like you want to write but don’t feel like you are good enough to pull off a blog off your own.. you are good enough for Paradise. If you would like to blog but can’t be bothered to do all the images and blog managing stuff , we got you covered on Paradise. Just be geeky and don’t exclude people from our beautiful paradise! Me and Kuro will welcome you with open arms. If you are a hot anime girl Kuro will be delighted to show you around and if you are not your lovely pink manager will very much take you on a little island tour! Regardless of what type of geek you are, games, geeks movie and more. Regardless your beliefs , skintone or past. Paradise is about inclusion, and walking to the beat of your own drum! (Within the bounds of the law of course) Not having to change for others. No matter how many demons you have on your shoulders, no matter how often you feel defeated.. Paradise will always be a place for you..both as a reader and as a writer!  And since this is a place of inclusion! I really hope you will all help me in giving Kuro a warm welcome so they can feel loved and included as well.

Now this part is specifically from me to Kuro as I would very much like to be the first person to say welcome home! I have read some very and creative pieces you made on Kawai Paper Panda’s and I know you have a delightful imagination as well! I also know you can be strict on yourself and even if I have a few rules know I will always welcome you! You are a geek! I am a geek! While I might feel less euphoric about centipede girls as you do , and would prefer a squid girl a demon girl..or a psychopath yandere who may or may not end me forcing me to sleep with a knife under my own pillow! Know that as long as you welcome everyone here, you will always be welcome here! I have no doubt the content you share will be amazing because in our talks I could really feel your desire to get back to this content you can produce here! I felt passion! With that passion I am sure you are an amazing addition to this team that will help Paradise grow bigger and add some very unique stories!  I love psychological horror stories  so I am a very lucky person indeed. I will be able to read amazing content on my own blog!  And no I do not mean a self devaluating way.. but if anyone ever read their own posts you know that sentiment!  Now I can read stuff on my own blog and be surprised and amazed just as I have no doubt our readers will! I wish you good luck! And once again welcome!  I hope you will enjoy yourself here!

Much love

The narcissistic manager who now will like posts on her own blog,
Pinkie!

To conclude I will tell that writers on Paradise can have their individual Kofi. Pinkie’s Kofi will pay for site and will be the only one featured on the home page but if you wis to support Kuro wit their writing career and their posts you can do so by clicking the image below and go to their Kofi as well! That way everybody wins and we can gather our own loving group of supporters….and make them battle like Pokémon later on the road.
