Mythos of Gobcord

The **mythos of Gobcord** refers to the mythology developed by the Gobcord community; an array of supernatural/superstitious stories mainly pertaining to the community itself or other surrounding communities. Mythologically, Gobcord and its culturally-adjacent community areas are referred to as "The Goblisphere." The Goblisphere includes (but is not limited to) Gobcord, Dad's House and its balkanizations, the Zalinki community as a whole, and communities adjacent to Zalinki. While The Goblisphere has been relatively undeveloped since its inception, there are a small handful of myths that the Gobcord community has conceived since the beginning of 2021.

## Dad's House Schizophrenic Episode Theory

Less of a tale or a legend, there is a mythical "theory" that every single interaction and event occurring within the Dad's House Discord server is actually the false realizations of a schizophrenic episode taking place in Zalinki's direct messages, with the server and every other person in it entirely a mental construction of this schizophrenic episode. The victim of this schizophrenic episode sometimes changes with every retelling, but has consistently either been a mod of the server or a prominent figure of the server.

## The Revolution

For the actual March 8th overthrow of the Loser's Club administration, see The Goup d'Etat.

"The Revolution" is a prophetic event alluded to in myth, referring to a major political upset in Gobcord due to occur in the near future in which there is a working class rebellion and overthrow of the Gobcord government. In The Revolution, the government is forcefully replaced with a socialist, egalitarian society, with the Council of Governors exiled or executed. In every recount of the prophecy, the resistance is said to originate from the working class proletariat, though in some versions this proletariat resistance is also aided and legitimized by all or some of the server Gobernors.

The tale emerged as a speculative, politically parallel fable to the Goup d'Etat which deposed the Kris administration on 8 March 2021; comparing the existing royal administration of Gobcord to the bygone autocratic dictatorship of Loser's Club. The political motivation of the fable serves to present a logical conclusion to the original "Gobcord experiment" -- the philosophy that all prominent members of Dad's House and all adjacent to the community can bring out the best of each other within a shared subcommunity. This "logical conclusion" rejects all formal levels of authority over members of the community in favor of a more modest distribution of power, or at its most extreme, an absolutely egalitarian management.

This fabled revolution is often mentioned jokingly by regular members and server staff alike, with the most common mention being the phrase(s) "When the revolution comes, [you'll/I'll] be sorry."

## The Gobliad

The Gobliad, otherwise known as the Gobliad Registry, is a fictional document containing the extensive personal information of every former and current member of Gobcord, including full legal names, dates of birth, legal identification such as drivers licenses or Social Security numbers, previous and present addresses of residency, academic history, and financial information. This myth is a component of a larger facet of the Gobcordian mythos pertinent to the vast and unknown powers within Gobcord's administration.

## The Gloaming

The Gloaming is a cryptic, seemingly apocalyptic event alluded to by members of the server. The humor derived from The Gloaming is its lack of any kind of discernible characteristics or implications, but is similar to that of the popular Fog event. The first mention of The Gloaming was by former Gobulite Kal, in reference to the Australian television series of the same name.

## Sexual mythos

### #nsfw

The legend of the Nsfw Channel, stylized as "#nsfw," is a story which describes the existence of a secret Nsfw channel hidden deep within the bowels of Gobcord, accessible to only a few unbeknownst travelers and Gobcord's elite. According to the myth, within the channel are coveted photographs of tits, ass, vagina, dick, and balls. While there isn't any feasible evidence of a Nsfw channel existing in Gobcord, the speculation of this myth arose from the characteristically unabashed horniness the server experiences on occasion.

The tale associated with this myth tells of a traveler wandering in the ungodly hours of the night. At the stroke of three in the morning, a demon appears before them to make an offer. The demon bargains the traveler's eternal soul in exchange for exclusive access to a place of unearthly, unsuitable pleasures. From this tale, it is deduced that in order to discover this channel, one must sacrifice their soul.

### Sex Prompt

In a similar vein as #nsfw, Gobcord's mythical "sex prompt" is a fabled art event in which members will be instructed by royal decree to draw pornography. This prophecy is set to occur somewhere five years after the server's founding in the year 2026, when the youngest of the initial server population are of federal legal age. Specific dates aren't usually designated to this event, though some say it will be on the server's fifth anniversary -- 13 January 2026.

### "So there's this couple..."

The story of the cum cubes is a legend within The Goblisphere passed down from the Dad's House community. The legend describes a couple; a man and a woman, who freeze the seminal secretions of the man in an ice cube tray and repurpose them to be melted during sex. Due to the highly disturbing nature of the story, "cum cubes" have become a potent taboo within the Gobcord community. The story is rarely ever recounted in its entirety, so community members often only make allusions to the legend in cultural reference. Every time the story *has* been recounted, however, it has usually begun with the phrase "So there's this couple..." making the phrase taboo by itself. Gobs will often say "So there's this couple" to reference the cum cubes legend and to instill the disturbance the original tale elicits.

While the source for the original story has been lost, the tale is based off of a real kink of freezing seminal fluids for erotic play (not cited for obvious reasons).

### 7 Days Free

Apropos of Gobcord's unrelenting thirst, 7 Days Free is a memetic allusion to an animated gif of a man getting their pants pulled down voraciously by another man. The gif is purportedly an advertisement for a seven-day free trial of a pornographic website's premium content, with the eponymous text being the dominant visual element in the media. The gif was spammed during the Kris administration for its illicit content, prompting server moderation to remove and reprimand all instances of it. Though the gif remains intolerantly prohibited by staff, mere mention of its alias -- "7 Days Free" -- is invoked for inflammatory purpose.

"7 Days Free" has its own subreddit.
