I am revisiting my possibly most infamous map.

Specifically, this one:

cause-of-death

First referenced back in the day, but the Twitter account that I used for the image is now protected.  So, I might as well put it up again.

  1. As long as I’ve been here, I’ve never seen an evil clown in Portland…but then, that’s what you’d expect, isn’t it?

      1. Go for a walk in deep Southeast at 3:00am sometime.
        .
        Or, for that matter, get on any city bus that goes through Southeast .. and just wait.

        1. I avoid Felony Flats after dark, thanks…and I’ve seen enough freaks and geeks on the 9 Powell bus.

  2. Draugr…

    Zombie Norsemen? I guess not everyone made it home form Vinland. I would have bet on rogue Canadians though. No one suspects them because they’re so nice.

  3. I managed to survive Disneyland twice, and now I face the long, cold Draugr-fraught winter. It’s like Game of Thrones, without the good parts.

    1. You’re required to go to Disney three times in your life.

      When you look like Santa Claus.

  4. I should confess that I think I played an critical part in this map becoming so infamous. When I saw it on your blog back then, I liked it, and thought a friend of mine, a dude who likes to play with the stereotype of Latin American machismo, would particularly appreciate the Dinosaur Rodeos. So I posted it on my Tumblr with a link back to the original tweet (which I thought was safer than the blog post, because Tumblr SJW lunatics) but without asking permission.
    .
    My friend liked it, and he reblogged it. So did some of my other followers, and his followers, and the whole thing snowballed. Since I shared it, it’s garnered 79,785 notes.
    .
    I don’t know if someone deleted the source link off the reblogs or if they just never bothered clicking it to find you being the origin of it. Either way, it doesn’t seem like they turned up here to be nasty to you.
    .
    And now, having made the confession, I apologize for taking your work without asking permission. What I did led to other people sharing it without you getting anywhere near the credit you earned for making it in the first place, and left you wondering how the heck it happened.
    .
    Incidentally, as a Touhou fan, “Flan” being a secret cause of death was funny because there’s a Touhou character named Flandre Scarlet, who is a particularly powerful and dangerous vampire with a reputation in the fanon for mass murder, and is nicknamed Flan. Being what she is, she would fit in with many of the map’s causes of death quite well.

    1. Your apology is accepted, although I was never actually upset or bothered in the first place (except in that I didn’t sign my own damned work). If you still feel the need for absolution, though: feel free to tell people how wonderful my Patreon is. We hit $150/month and I start writing 3K word short stories monthly. 😉
