A Brief Summary

This page is to give new wiki users a summary of what exactly this site is about, and who the characters are.

## The Beginning

### Rhea

Rhea was born on an uncertain day to uncertain parents. While growing up in the swamplands, she exhibited strange characteristics, always wanting to play doctor, having an unusual affinity for doglike patterns, and paying utmost attention to characters on television who were "Bitchy and Mean" or as scholars now refer to them as, "Girlbosses." She grew out of this however, thankfully, and is a normal young woman, living in the forested North.

On the way up there, she met several people, some before others, such as

### Pike

It's unclear to where exactly Pike came from, what's known is that when Rhea was on "Twitter" she stumbled across a plushie, one who was posting about the same things that Rhea loves, namely, World of Warcraft. From that day on, Rhea realized that she had met her kindred spirit, and upon talking to Pike even more, they developed a technique of sorts, one that changed their entire worldview. Terriblecore.

### Cait

Cait was another person Rhea met on her journey, nearly at the same time as she met Pike, as the two of them have been knowing eachother for years, long before Rhea even used Twitter. Rhea was intrigued by this Cait, "There are no Cis Blood Elves" her bio read, "Could this be true..?" Rhea asked herself as she followed back. What's happened since then is layered, clouded, there are separate accounts of everything, a sort of Warp in The West, that being the Western World.

## The Second Era

### Rhea

For a while, Rhea was stagnant, she was watching PreCure, listening to PreCure, that being listening to Pike talk about Futari Wa Precure: Featuring Nagisa and Honoka, but Rhea was okay with this, she had a stable roof over her head, what more did she need?

### Pike

For the last two months of the year, Pike had been mindwarped into talking about and listening constantly to the band 'Radiohead'. This was because of Rhea, as she had been posting about the band for basically the entire year as of that point, but in recent weeks her posts had gotten more specific, more targeted, more annoying.

As Pike and Rhea were under the Terriblecore Mindset even then, Pike naturally gravitated to these posts, and when she gave KID A, or as it's known in some circles, 'The greatest left turn in music history' a spin, her life was forever changed. No longer was she hyper fixated on solely PreCure, she was also fixated on Thom Yorke's Radiohead. This was evident of course in her posts. She spoke so much of them in fact, that she alerted Rhea to a mutual who also loved them when Rhea posted about a game she hadn't even played, Morrowind. That mutual of course, was

### Sophie

Sophie followed Rhea at the guidance of Pike, as she had just said how the three offer the same type of content, Morrowind and Radiohead, naturally Rhea followed back as she had read about Morrowind and never played as "Game sux" and had been obsessed with Radiohead for years. What's the worst that could happen? Sophie was intimidating to Rhea, they didn't speak often, and what little Rhea knew of her was in her bio. She was married, she was blue collar, she was left leaning, she enjoyed coffee, vinyl, and books! To be honest, she was too normal! Boring even. It seemed like her and Rhea would never get along too well.

### Cait

Watched on in horror. Terrified of what was happening to Pike, and more terrified of the influence Rhea held. She was reassured atleast by the knowledge that Rhea would never be able to sway someone's relationship with her in the future, that this was as bad as it'd get, and most of all, Rhea would never start anything weird with her, as she didn't like Radiohead, and was more of a Coldplay fan. Despite this, Cait still feared the worst, behind her curtain of HOI4 and Stellaris, she was powerless. It wasn't all bad though, her, Rhea, and Pike were interacting more than ever, and while they weren't in any official "group chat" yet, it was clear there was a grouped friendship between the three of them.

## The Third Era

### Rhea

Rhea roughly stayed the same, maybe she tried to get the affection of Thom Yorke more, and every now and then she had posted a thing or two about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada. For the most part, she continued to revel in the way she broke Pike, and she had noticed that she started to have an influence on other people too. A new mutual of Rhea's had joined her life, one who had known Pike for years at that point, ever since she was a little fawn.

### Bri

Bri had of course noticed the turn Pikes posts had taken, what they were about, you couldn't escape it. "What's this about lemons?" She must've thought to herself. The final straw broke when Rhea made a video of a World of Warcraft gnome dancing to "Idioteque" by Radiohead, and said "Thom Yorke" after a conversation with Pike. Bri publicly stated how she. couldn't stop thinking about said Gnome, and how much she hated it. Despite this, she was not enemies with Rhea.

### Sophie

Sophie and Rhea continued to never speak. Despite their shared interests, there was nothing there. A divide of sorts, one that looked like it would never be repaired.

### Cait

For Cait, things stayed the same aswell. Her lack of understanding about Radiohead led to her still being confused about Pike and Rhea's downward spiral, and while she knew it was fine, she couldn't help but worry about her two friends, but that worry paled in comparison to some of the traffic issues she was facing in Cities Skyline.

### Pike

Pike was getting worse, talking about Radiohead had alienated her to her vast amount of followers and friends, besides Rhea of course. She devised a way to save this from getting worse, clever as she is, by posting about Precure at least once a day to remind people why they followed, to bring a sense of home in this alien landscape. An idea was brought to Pike by Cait. For all the talking Rhea did of Morrowind and it's lore, she had never truly played it, and had been scolded for that by Pike, Cait, and especially Sophie. "What if we created a little Discord, to peer pressure Rhea into playing Morrowind?" Cait said. Pike naturally took the offer, as she had to get back at Rhea for ruining her brand like that. And early into the year, the GC was born, known solely by the name of

## Thom Yorke Gays and Friends

### Cait

Cait had brought this idea to life. Finally there would be a place to hound Rhea for not playing one of Caits most beloved games of all time. Here, there would be a place where Rhea could not just change the topic or go back to her timeline, she would be forced to listen to Mod recommendations and guides on how to play the game she had so many issues with starting. Cait was not alone in this of course, as Pike was the one who officially made the GC after all. And with her, Hell followed.

### Pike

When Pike created the GC, Rhea was going in thinking it would be just the three of them, as Cait and Pike were the two closest people she knew in this whole grouping of Twitter mutuals. Pike had another idea. She would publicly state on her account how she had made a GC to "Shitpost", and how if mutuals wanted to join they could. Suddenly, some people Rhea had not known, barely knew, and some she had known for some time had joined her Peer Pressure Group Chat, Homu, Jane, Ruby, Bear, the list goes on, Of course, two other people joined, Rhea thinking this would be just like her Twitter interactions with them welcomed them with open arms. Those two people were Bri and Sophie.

### Bri

Rhea and Bri immediately started talking a lot. Bri's strong and annoying energy and personality attracted Rhea instantly, with Rhea even messaging her days into it how she thought Bri was crazy and loved it. Bri of course had a lot to talk about, for every conversation there was an ex she brought up that was shockingly relevant to the topic at hand. She teased Rhea a lot, for many reasons, almost too many to count. Primarily due to her aura, which many have commented on over the years. Bri and Rhea did a lot of horsing around, along with Pike, the three of them had plans to play TBC Classic when it came out. Rhea instinctively knew she wanted to play a priest, and Bri offered to tank. Pike of course would be playing her hunter. They could not wait to start playing, and had countless ideas of what to do.

### Sophie

Sophie noticed a power vacuum in the GC immediately. Despite Pike being the sole admin of the server, Sophie rose to the top of the chart and dominated basically every conversation she had, especially those she had with Rhea. While the two of them were friendly at first, she followed Bri's idealogy of bullying Rhea relentlessly. It started on Valentine's Day, where Sophie was under the belief that Rhea was taken due to a joke made days before, and uttered the infamous words "I thought you had a GF, Rhea" when Rhea claimed otherwise on that holiday for obvious reasons. Rhea was stunned, she had just gotten owned and had no response but to keysmash and deny it. This would thankfully be the last time something like that would happen, as there was nothing else really to mock Rhea for.

### Rhea

Rhea was acclimating to the GC very well. While the idea of getting her into Morrowind instantly fell apart despite the help of the games biggest fan girl, Sophie, it was clear that the GC was more about its name in its topics than any critically acclaimed video game. While she was normally never any good with GCs, Rhea felt fine with this one, she wouldn't leave it or have any weird feelings going on, she was at home. She continued to get relentlessly bullied, and even stopped using Twitter as much because of how much more she enjoyed the GC. Despite her being mocked for her lack of girlfriend, her depression, her overall attitude, her aura, her taste in video games, her taste in anime, just about everything really, she loved being there. Near the end of the month, Rhea decided to try and really shift things into gear and tried to get back on HRT after a while of unfortunately being off it. She made an ultimatum. She would not return to Twitter until she got the important calls done. She quit the website entirely shortly after.

## A New Medium

### Rhea

Rhea had left Twitter, dedicating herself solely to the GC and its inhabitants. Casting aside everything was easy, as the GC was just that worth it, despite, or maybe because of the dynamic she had there with everyone. She was virtually hated by Bri and Sophie for weeks by that point, waking up every day to assaults from them, only to pin their messages and keysmash, as she had no defense against their onslaught. She was fine with this, she wasn't called any names really, just sort of bullied for her lack of life. It was okay however, as Rhea was planning to bring in a friend she had been mentioning for a while by that point, she asked Pike if she could invite them and so she did.

### Thom Yorke

Thom joined the GC on that day, he was even ready to answer questions in sort of an AMA way, he was happy to be there, as Pike and Rhea had been the most devoted fans he had ever come across in his life, but when invited, nobody even said a word. Rhea felt terrible, because she promised him that he'd have fun talking to herself and Pike, aswell as Sophie who had been a fan of the band for over a decade. Pike finally asked the first question, "Thom is your next album Creep 2?" Thom left immediately, not even taking the time to respond to the question. He would never even entertain the idea of a second Creep, let alone releasing one in 2021, decades after the original.

### Pike

Pike felt awful for scaring Thom off, but she had much more to feel bad for, as she had been "moderating" the server that's now been devoted to bullying Rhea, and has done nothing to change it. Not that Rhea would want that. Pike had started to drift from Radiohead by this point, perhaps Rhea had lost her touch, regardless of how it happened, Pike only listened to Animal Collective and Arcade Fire, Radiohead was over. Thom was dead to her.

### Sophie

Sophie had settled into her "Group Girlboss" role naturally, she's played it that way in countless places before and this wasn't the last. She led the "No Gf" joke into it being the top joke of the server, she tried to make Rhea call her "Mom" once, which Rhea refused to do, in fact she even tried to extort Sophie by threatening to send the photo to her wife, which Sophie replied to by saying she didn't actually want Rhea to call her "Mom". The most important of all the work she did, was that she revealed to Rhea that she used to play Team Fortress 2 competitively. The gears started to spin in Rhea's head.

### Cait

Cait started off the gc in this early stage as the Group Perv, shockingly, as it was a relatively tame place and has stayed that way since its inception. Despite this drawback in Rhea's eyes, she continued to talk to Cait, especially as Rhea started to realize that she DID want to play Morrowind after all.

### Bri

Bri became 100x worse during this transitory period, openly antagonizing Rhea at every opportunity, it was pretty great. Bri let Rhea know that she had Diablo 3, and with Pike and Rhea already wanting to play with her in TBC classic, the three hopped on board, however during this time, Bri and Pike coined a name that would forever change Rhea and the GC.

## Tradcath Asuka

### Tradcath Asuka

Tradcath Asuka took the name with grace, after all her profile photo was Nun Asuka at that time, to not accept it would be to not accept herself. The name spawned countless posts to Twitter about her, Bri was the most vocal about it, even to go as far as to make a thread about her. Tradcath Asuka was fine with it, as she was off the website for months at this point and thought it was funny to exist as a new persona entirely. Not all was fun and games however, besides the game Team Fortress Two, which Tradcath Asuka had just challenged Sophie to a duel in.

### Bri

Bri of course loved the Tradcath Asuka name, and couldn't believe it at first just talking to her, but rapidly adapted. It was around this time where Bri started calling everyone "Dog" , and Tradcath Asuka for some reason would bark as a reply to it. Dredging up old tweets revealed that this dog behavior has had signs pointing to it for months now, and Bri had just awoken it. Because of that, Bri decided to add "Dog Girl" to Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka'a full name.

### Cait

Cait was one of the few people who was nice to Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka, and had rapidly become more chaste due to Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka's Aura, even as the rest of the GC became more degenerate in that regard. While she had no interest in Diablo, or TF2 or WoW, as they aren't about managing 9000 troops in combat and building cities, she was a good ear for Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka to have.

### Pike

Pike had started to join the bullying, it was shocking that it took so long. Despite this, she promised and wanted to play with Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka, in a way to potentially manipulate her Terriblecore Partner. During this time Pike became rapidly worse, really in all aspects, due to the aforementioned Terriblecore Partner, with Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka rapidly reaching new lows, her friend would naturally follow suit. The two of them would drink constant energy drinks and sodas and coffee, and complain to why they felt so bad. They would look at photos of Blood Elves and have to be fanned because of how much they love those bitchy elf women. They would think about how toxic and awful they'd be in TBC Classic, and look forward to it more than anything else.

### Sophie

Sophie was rapidly making a name for herself in the eyes of Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka, from accepting the duel in TF2 to talking and giving advice about Morrowind to her as she got ready to play the game herself, Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka was getting closer and closer, reminiscent of an abandoned animal finding a new potential owner. Despite Sophie owning her daily, and despite her knowing Sophie would absolutely demolish her in TF2, Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka continued to taunt Sophie and make snappy remarks to her, as something felt like she Had to do this. After several skirmishes beforehand. The duel between the two would start.

## Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka Vs. Soph

### Cait

Cait didn't have any full ties in the battle, she surely wanted to see Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka lose, as did everybody, but it's important to know Cait's neutrality. A political prowess honed by years of College aswell as the finest mods Hearts of Iron has to offer.

### Pike

Pike was rooting for Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka, as the two were Psychically linked from months of being Terriblecore, and the both wanted to finally see Sophie lose for once. Pike had been editing the Wiki for some time by this point and Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka gave her permission to put the results of the battle on the wiki, which she did. Regardless of the results, TBC Classic loomed over them, and with it, Blood Elves.

### Bri

While Bri and Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka played Diablo 3, Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka tended to play.. a support role. As shes always loved to play healer in games in the past, and had been playing Holy Priest in retail WoW for several weeks by this point. Because of this. Bri called Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka "Princess Healslut" several times, which Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka didn't exactly object to.

### Sophie

Sophie and Princess Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka Healslut started their duel in the middle of the day. Words cannot describe what happened in it, besides that insults were thrown, and whines were had, from both teams. Sophie, unfortunately won the battle. And Princess Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka Healslut was never the same again.

### Princess Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka Healslut

Princess Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka Healslut was crushed, not in a real way or anything but because she would've finally kicked Sophie down a peg or two, for losing to such a pathetic little clay creature. Alas, it didn't go that way, and as Pike updated the wiki at her orders, Princess Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka Healslut assembled a montage video of all of the battles decisive moments set to "No Surprises" by Radiohead. Thom Yorke himself gave permission for the song to be used, perhaps as a gift for leaving the GC earlier in the year. Or maybe it was because Creep 2 had released recently.

## TBC Classic at long last

### Princess Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka Healslut

After her defeat, Princess Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka Healslut atleast had playing with Pike and Bri to look forward to, the fun they had on Diablo 3 was brief, but not enough, they wanted to conquer dungeons, slay bosses, be toxic. And at long last their promised day had arrived. They logged on as soon as everyone was available and created their Blood Elves. Bri, the Paladin, Pike, the hunter, and Princess Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka Healslut, the Priest.

### Bri

Bri had been training and practicing her gameplay for weeks before this. On 'Radishcake', a character of her own, she had perfected the technique of killing Hillsbrad Farmers on repeat. Her breakthrough is why the concept is referred to as "Farming". When the time for the 3 besties to play together arrived, she was prepared. She expertly tanked from the very start, and had Princess Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka Healslut's heals to back her up.

### Pike

The three continued to make their way through the Blood Elf starting zones. When she wasn't playing WoW, watching Futari Wa, or at work, Pike was editing the Princess Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka Healslut Wiki. She quickly rose her way to the top, and became the contributor of the month every month since being awarded it. Her cataloguing of Terriblecore and Rheacore is some of the most important info on this site. As her, Princess Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka Healslut, and Bri made their way through Ghostlands, they logged off after a successful day of questing. That would be the third and last time any of them would play their Blood Elves ever again.

### Cait

Cait was confused at how the three WoW players simply just. Gave up their game they've been wanting to play for months, more than that, she thought it was hilarious. Which it was. Her and Princess Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka Healslut continued to talk more in dms for some reason, though Princess Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka Healslut has always been better with dms, so it makes sense.

### Sophie

Sophie was riding high off of the win, she had basically defeated Princess Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka Healslut in every single way at this point, not a single loss in sight, so she focused her goals elsewhere. She decided to win the battle of Music taste too. By way of the "Rhea Optimization Project" or "ROP" for short, an ancient technique Princess Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka Healslut used to gain, and more importantly, lose features and abilities, she slowly started to convert Princess Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka Healslut. Starting with songs that both of them liked, she started recommending soon after songs and albums that only She liked, and the two of them listened to them.

## The True Bestie Competition

### Princess Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka Healslut

After realizing that she calls too many people "Bestie", Princess Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka Healslut realized she had to pick one. The only way to do this, was by trial. She created a Google document for the GC to fill out, every question was important for a bestie to have, and she finally put her friends to the Test.

### Bri

Princess Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka Healslut expected little of Bri, as she's constantly dming other women and that is understandably more important than the constant schemes of the dog, but Bri proved her wrong by actually answering the quiz in some way, every question got an answer, however in depth they were.

### Cait

Princess Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka Healslut knew Cait would respond heartfelt and in depth, and she did exactly that. Cait had begun to be someone she could count on as counsel, and as someone to be bitchy with. Cait handed her results in second, which was very much appreciated by Princess Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka Healslut.

### Sophie

Princess Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka Healslut expected Sophie to phone it in as she has far better things to do, just like Bri in a way, but as what has become a trend by now, Sophie went above the call of duty and responded first, with in depth answers, formatted perfectly. Some of the questions were suited for her, but there was a question for everybody in there.

### Pike

Pike responded last of these four participants, but certainly not least. After counting out all of the questions answered, Pike narrowly beat Sophie in the True Bestie Competition. Rumors of corruption spread, as Princess Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka Healslut and Pike were spending the most time together at this time out of all of the 4 applicants, and Pike also knew Princess Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka Healslut's recent dark secret. Regardless of the truth, Pike was declared the winner.

## Homeless Arc

### Princess Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka Healslut

The guilt of having to choose someone for the True Bestie Competition weighed heavily. She had begun to be away from the GC more and more. Luckily this was the least of her worries, as Princess Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka Healslut had been evicted just weeks later.

### Sophie

Sophie was the person who was there hours before it happened, as she promised to stay awake for as long as she could because she knew Princess Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka Healslut would want the company, and she did just that. She was the first to share a crowdfunding page and also the first to make a joke about her homeless situation, possibly tied with Bri.

### Cait

Princess Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka Healslut relied on Cait a lot after this, certainly during it, one of her goon friends graciously donated over half of the entire fundraising goal.

### Bri

Bri coined the addition of "Hot Dog" into Princess Tradcath "Dog Girl" Asuka Healslut's full name, which she graciously accepted, as it sounded like Bri was calling her hot.

### Pike

Pike, along with everyone else, was kind during the beginning of this, and chipped in and spread the word as they all did, and as her being Princess Tradcath "Hotdog Dog Girl" Asuka Healslut's Terriblecore True Bestie, thought of countless good memes and jokes to make about her being Homeless. The term "Rheacore" had never been associated with a lack of house until then.

## **Tradcath Asuka’s Last Stand**

### Princess Tradcath “Hotdog Dog Girl” Asuka Healslut

Several months had passed, through thick and thin, hotel to hotel, Princess Tradcath “Hotdog Dog Girl” Asuka Healslut had stuck through being homeless, getting her belongings out from her landlords, things were improving. Alas, she was forced to leave her state. Before fleeing it however, she had stopped at her “endo”, as her 6 month checkup had arrived. It was a milestone, and it gave her the opportunity to change her script, and that she did. On the day of leaving her old state, she picked up her prescriptions, a new one was added, Progesterone. An addition that could potentially strip her morals away.

### Sophie

The biggest change during this time outside of our protagonists hectic life, was how Sophie treated her. Princess Tradcath “Hotdog Dog Girl” Asuka Healslut had gone from a nuisance in her eyes to more of a little pet, or even an unwanted child. Maybe it was her annoying whiny demeanor, maybe it was because her life was going Completely Awful, but Princess Tradcath “Hotdog Dog Girl” Asuka Healslut welcomed it all the same, even if she still liked being owned and bullied every now and then. Sophie had also gotten her hooked on her servers Gacha channel, of course she also hooked another person on it.

### Pike

Pike had been thriving when it comes to Princess Tradcath “Hotdog Dog Girl” Asuka Healslut, she had gotten her into LCD Soundsystem, they both barely used the GC anymore, they even got more Terriblecore. However. With their linked fates, they had both gotten suckered into Sophies gacha game, despite them never talking in the other channels, it had quickly become their most used server at the time, Sophie was of course, smug.

### Cait

Cait had settled into her “Sugar Mama” role, practically being Princess Tradcath “Hotdog Dog Girl” Asuka Healslut’s lifeline at times, ensuring she didn’t go on the street several times. Princess Tradcath “Hotdog Dog Girl” Asuka Healslut invented a debt because of her fake catholic guilt, one she’s still repaying to this day.

### Bri

Bri and Princess Tradcath “Hotdog Dog Girl” Asuka Healslut virtually had the same dynamic this entire time, they would bully eachother, Princess Tradcath “Hotdog Dog Girl” Asuka Healslut would mute her channel, etc.

## **The Return of Rhea**

### Rhea

She had fled her state, and started her new medication. Exactly what you’d expect happened, and the Church had stripped away her Tradcath title. Without it, she felt unworthy to go by the rest of her true name, and settled for her Twitter username. She had also returned to Twitter during this time, just an awful time to be around her. Not all was bad however, as her brain was being boiled from HRT, she took the time to dig into her friendships in many ways, enriching them, strengthening them. None of them more so than

### Sophie

Sophie and Rhea had continued listening to music in this time, going through some of both of their favorite artists well into the AMs. Whether it was because of Rhea’s situation worsening in ways, especially mentally, or not, Sophie started to think even more maternally of Rhea, basically insisting she calls her “Mom”, and taking pride in it when she does. Rhea unfortunately doesn’t have mommy issues, and responded to this uninterested, by sending her a long letter and a mug that says “Best Dog Mom” for her birthday, a pivotal moment.

### Pike

Pike and Rhea had continued their shared Terriblecore fate, playing AI Dungeon and typing the same scenarios (Mostly to see how bad Rhea would be treated in them), however they had both fallen out of favor with Radiohead, in fact, Rhea listened to more LCD Soundsystem than anything else during this time, something Pike smugly reminded her of, as a year prior, Rhea couldn’t get into the band for the life of her.

### Bri

Bri had joined Sophies gacha server, quickly hunting down the characters she wanted, of course with the help of Rhea, who had started a sort of fetch role in the server, she’d be pet whenever she’d get a character for someone, and of course did so at every opportunity.

### Cait

Archives of Cait and Rhea during this leg of the year have been burned, lost to time. What’s remembered is that Cait quickly became someone Rhea could say literally anything to, usually BPD ramblings, which had been getting worse and worse by then.
