The afterlife

The environment is a such

• Without exception or consideration everyone who dies gets reborn in hell- or THAT is what they think, in reality everyone just goes to a kind of purgatory neutral afterlife, if a bit strange at times.. but most people call it hell because the environment of this place is just too different than the one above and some can't handle it.. the sky is dark as pitch, the sun is red and it's always in the sky (there is no night), the ground is fertile and large trees grow on it but there are no animals or any non vegetable life here except for humans, and there are no seas either but there exist lakes and underground water caves (with no fish)

• Thankfully death comes alone and so all those who perish in the afterlife just get reborn in it once again

• When one is born again in purgatory the ground itself is a second mother, a large womb like balloon full of amniotic fluid contain the person who will be in a similar state as they were back when they died in the world of the living.. when one is born in hell the first thing they have to do is rip apart the fleshy womb that contains them, for those who died too old, too young or maybe just too weak to break the hell-womb there exists the possibility of becoming trapped in a cycle of death by suffocation again and again until someone else rips apart the horrid meaty prison for them

• The previous point says 'similar' because most people reborn in purgatory do experience a change to them.. most are born again as women who look very similar to how they did before death (or exactly as they did before death if they were women in the living realm).. Males in hell are exceptionally rare but without a need for reproduction they're not really a special treasure (they are kinda sorta lusted over though)

• In the absence of animals these fleshy pseudo womb structures that grow out of the ground like meat flowers have become the only (non cannibalism based) source of meat the people in this place have access to, they taste like veal

• There is fruit, starches and vegetables that grow from the trees, bushes and from the underground, they serve as a compliment to the womb meat.. initially many people decide to go vegetarian and eat exclusively these yummy fruits and veggies though eventually most people do overcome the mental block and start also consuming the strange wombs once they realize that they actually do just taste like veal (already mentioned this once but it requires another mention just because of how baffling it is)

• The only real advantage that the afterlife has over being alive is that in here humans need not produce waste (they don't shit or piss).... they do need to eat though and no one really knows how that works

The society is as such

• Purgatory used to be a terrible barbaric place but in putting so many humans together (some of them quite smart) eventually a champion arised.. They called her 'Satan' after the mythological ruler of hell, but she is no devil in fact this lady is a bona fide philosopher queen and a real utopian architect that has been guiding (almost) all people in the afterlife with an iron fist for many centuries now, no one knows who she used to be before dying and she has never told but many think she could've been a famous thinker, king or a sort of mystic oracle

• Some people think this 'Satan' might be Socrates or Aristotle or maybe even Hobbes or Hegel (why Hegel?)... no one really knows and no one really has the balls to ask (because they're all girls LOL)

• But seriously whoever she really was before death "Satan" now is just really benevolent and smart (and also extremely autistic)

• Almost everyone follows the laws established by this 'Satan' and they trust her to rule over them as a tyrant because her tenure as supreme queen has actually been very good for her people, there are opposition groups living outside of the powers that be but most of them are really just infantile libertarians that can't see what is best for them

• "Satan"'s queendom is a giant compound of connected towns and micro cities that stretches on for miles and miles, every town has gardens, pools, and even entertainment places along with a small local judicial government that reports to a central authority.. many people think that it's unreal how advanced the place could get on such limited resources but in truth the largest contributing factor to the queendom's success is the fact that it's citizens produce no bodily waste therefore freeing an unbelievable amount of precious resources and manpower not needed for sanitation

• Every citizen of the queendom is not required to work and is entitled to housing, food, and entertainment/service by default.. Labor is obtained through a judicial servitude system, that is to say that the punishment for any crime is always public unpaid service for any amount of years (though never forever all sentences are required to be finite, as to give convicts a path back to citizenship and an incentive to complete their sentence).. most of the condemned end up working for the queendom as 'maids' that tend to citizens but there are others that prefer to do manual labor (the sentences for physical work are always lower than for maid work, because physical work is harder) there is a third option for penitence but it is very rarely taken due to it's humiliating nature despite it being the quickest way to complete a fairly given sentence, a convict can choose to become a 'pet' to loiter around a randomly selected 'communal house'.. basically in the absence of companion animals the need for pets has increased sharply and some volunteers are up for that 'job' if it means returning to society quicker.. 'pets' obviously have to play their part fully which means no clothes, no standing up on two legs, no speaking unless ABSOLUTELY necessary (any unjustifiable use of human language by a 'pet' is harshly punished with more time as a 'pet'), wearing a collar and leash at all times, and wearing an animal headband (and tail buttplug as well)..

• The really tough part about the pet punishment though isn't even the humiliation, it's actually the strictness of it.. because for example a maid laborer can maybe drop a stack of plates or burn a couple dishes before even being scolded too harshly, and a physical laborer can get away with slacking off from time to time or eating more than their allowed rations before having their sentence extended.. it's a form of good will that isn't extended to pets, as soon as a pet fucks up in ANY way their sentence automatically doubles... or triples.. or maybe even quadruples if their judge is having a sour mood

• Still there's never any shortage of pet volunteers as the prospect of getting out of a sentence quick is just too enticing.. also some straight up just like being pets (if they're freakazoids)

• Despite there being a single autocratic ruler democracy does exist in the judicial system, as judges are elected through elections that take place every... whenever the people get tired of a particular judge...

• The queendom actually doesn't even have a formal name, the state is literally that fucking ubiquitous that it doesn't need a name.. people just know that this is the way things have always been and the best way for things to be, so referring to it as anything but the natural establishment of things is an absurd, government here is as natural as the sky or the ground

The people are as such

• Most of everyone in the afterlife are girls yes, regardless of whatever they were before dying, but their minds have remained unchanged and the cognitive dissonance is too much for most, the most common way to reconcile this is by swinging HARD the other way and becoming a super girly girl.. most manual laborers, maids, and pets are actually just the men that decided to hold onto their pride and become tomboys which naturally makes them lash out against the rigid societal norms of the kingdom.. conversely most exemplary citizens are just those who broke and became uber girly and kinda docile to cope with having a girl's body now

• Most actual men that could make the passage without crossing sex lines do look down upon their now female counterparts, many of them have refused to participate in what they call a 'feminized' society under a Satanic (not actually satanic just a larper) queen.. these men have created a parallel and much smaller society acting as occasional raiders and common scoundrel knaves that some times march into the queen's domain to take valuables and rape as much as they can.. nothing can be done to stop them really as even if some are killed along their exploits they eventually come back right again

• Men's society in the afterlife is quite primitive and mostly based on banditry, some think that that is proof of men's naturally barbaric uncivilized nature, none have stopped to consider that it is probably only like that because men's numbers are significantly lower than women's

• going back to the queendom of purgatory, a lot of the women living in it have gone completely insane as is expected after spending so much time in what they must think to be hell, or some kind of spiritual prison

• the first and most common type of madness experienced in purgatory is the extreme and irrational longing for comfort and safety, clearly if you think you're in actual hell then surely making the best of it is a common choice, those who suffer from this typically just loiter around gardens, small lakes, pools and public entertainment facilities wasting away their endless days without thinking too much about anything

• the second most common type of lunatic encountered here is the religious type, despite all evidence to the contrary some people here still believe they might be saved and ruptured to heaven at the last second if they repent enough there's all kinds of religious denominations from all periods of history included, they have churches, mosques, temples and all other kinds of things.. they're only tolerated for their willingness to perform volunteer labor for the good of the public as a way to 'atone for their sins' whatever those are

• The least encountered type of crazy person in purgatory is actually the loud or disruptive ones, because doing that shit gets you a criminal sentence FAST.. so even the craziest most vibrant girls try their absolute best to appear calm and subdued both in private and in public

• Seriously being loud or disruptive even in your own private space is probably the worst crime you can commit, some newcomers are surprised at how harsh the sentences can get for a simple screaming fit..

• The silver lining is that only being loud or rambunctious counts as public disruption, but as long as you do it quietly you can do pretty much everything else you wanted... masturbating, public sex, even just walking around the 'streets' naked (the streets aren't paved it's all just grass roads, because there aren't horses or cars) it's all ok as long as it's done quietly "Satan" just REALLY doesn't like loud noises, she's definitely autistic
