THE 31 CHARACTERS 31 DAYS CHALLENGE DAY TWENTY SEVEN

Even though it’s June 3rd and I still owe you five characters doesn’t mean you should blame RAINN.  There’s a movement to reduce women to property--the phrase ‘consensual rape’ that’s being dropped by certain Alt-Right ‘Conservatives’ to justify their anti-abortion stance both chills and outrages me.  Please donate to this organization devoted to helping women and children stand up for themselves after being violated.

This event is to create 31 characters, one for every day in May (although it looks like, due to my depression, that said event will bleed into early June) , that will be featured in an upcoming project I’m working on tentatively called Strikeforce Liberty.

If you are a Domicile of Dread Patreon, you’ll get a short podcast discussing the creation process for each character.  I made one of these podcasts available to the general public here.  If you’d like to hear all of these podcasts, get other exclusive goodies like reviews and essays, and can spare at least a dollar a month to support my efforts to Make The World Stranger, go here to sign up.

This time, my friend and official Twisted Girl Next Door, Chauncey K. Robinson, has agreed to let me turn her into a chilling madwoman haunting the world of Strikeforce: Liberty!  Besides being a YouTube star reporting on all the latest in horror film and television, she’s the social media editor and frequent contributor for People’s World.  She and I don’t always agree, but I love having a conversation with her and enjoy her horror-positive view on life.  Please follow her on Twitter at @MsChaunceyKR and check out her blog!

Thanks loads, Chauncey!  One day, hopefully, you and I will have our discussion on Doom Patrol on an episode of Thomas Deja’s Watching.

Please enjoy, and please donate.

KILLJOY

Name: Chauncey K. Robinson
Location: Los Angeles, CA
Occupation: Journalist

Cherophobia.

The fear of happiness.

Some people struggle with it all their lives.  It’s more common than you would think.  But in the case of Chauncey Robinson, whose fear crippled her for years, she ultimately decided to fight her fears with all her blackened soul.

As she showed her public face as a respected internet journalist, Chauncey created another identity, an identity that would confront the thing she feared the most.  Slowly, she introduced herself to the world, and laid out her mission on a special website she created, a website called killjoy.com.

Reality is darkness.  Reality is suffering.  Those people who try to resist this absolute are fooling themselves.  And those people who seem to interfere with the dismal nature of reality need to be put down.  And Killjoy will do what she must.

Killjoy has attacked, sometimes killed, beloved performers and celebrities.  She has assaulted charities designed to help impoverished countries and areas, sometimes through physical means and sometimes by draining their finances. She has triggered bombs at stadiums during family events.  Killjoy has even intruded on Chauncey’s public life--if an associate displays too much affection and appreciation for her, that associate mysteriously disappears.

In her more sane moments, Chauncey knows this is an insurmountable task.  She knows she cannot win.  But someone has to rage against the gaudily colored light.  And she is determined to rage with all her might until she breaths her last.
