Discussion "The Maschenny Library"

[Cinera]

Alternate title: "Cinera's Shrine to Maschenny".


This is a collation of most of my Maschenny essays (many are from Reddit, but I shifted to exclusively publishing them on forums after I got banned on the subreddit), and I thought I would make it a post for easier reference/sharing/general consumption. I have some more essays planned, and I would try to get to them later on.

There are some essays I wrote over a year ago that are missing. I'll work on porting them and adding them to the library in the coming days/weeks.
