April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.

We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberA parasitic bacteria that is almost invisible to the naked eye. It travels in masses, usually forming small clouds that tending to to hide in the low mists of remote bogs on very few overgrown planets. This parasite will attach to a host, traveling through the respiratory system, and come to rest and survive off the oxygenated blood that pumps in the left ventricle in the heart.
Their unique bio-genetic mapping allows them to carry a sac of highly unstable stem cells that are genetically separate from the rest of their bodies. This allows them to eject their own few gametes into the stem cells, while secreting them along the inner walls of the heart.
This will slowly cause the heart to mutate into a mind-altering symbiote.
The new insect-like organ will sap the life from the host, absorbing more than 50% of the outgoing blood's oxygen, causing fatigue, shortness of breath, dizziness, delirium, and in the worst cases, death.
After it has incubated in the heart for about 7 months, the parasite will enter it's adulthood, and begin to produce microscopic eggs. These eggs will be ejaculated into the bloodstream through the Aorta, where they will eventually come to rest inside the alveoli in the lungs.
During this period, it is crucial for the heart to continue to pump, lest the entire process will be a complete waste. The parasite will cut it's oxygen consumption in half, causing the earlier symptoms to lessen, or even disappear in an attempt to preserve the host.
After another 2 months of "pregnancy", the eggs will hatch, causing several thousand microscopic larva to burst forth. This will cause unparalleled chest pain in the host, usually making them to go into shock. The sudden alarm will cause the body to secrete mass amounts of adrenaline into the bloodstream. The adult parasite will sense this, and immediately shut down. The host will quickly go into cardiac arrest, causing it to breathe in quick, shallow breaths. The newly spawned larva will travel on these breaths, being exhaled back into the atmosphere to complete the cycle.
How do you kill it? HIV virus will actually kill the bacteria in the heart. Just a matter of how you want to die I suppose.

MemberDear sweet gods, I think this might be a Markovian, from Jack L. Chalker's "Well of Souls" novel series back in the 1980s. It looks a LOT like the description of them.
