Summary
Astin Soul, as she is known to us lolcow watcher types, is a late millennial who came into this world at the end of the 1990s, and has been active on the Internet in some fashion since at least 2013. She positions herself as an IT consultant and/or web developer, yet it seems that she leans heavily on others to accomplish even the basics of this work. She has historically claimed to own/run a firm called SoulCreative, but little information exists about it now aside from a screenshot of a Chinese language LinkedIn page.She is rumored to have an older brother, Michael (Knave Soul), but little is known about him (aside from his supposed involvement with SoulCreative and other ventures with Astin), and he may not actually exist (or he's roleplaying as Astin). If he exists, he's boring.
Astin has been known to live in Florida in the past, and more recently, Internet activity has tied her to the Madison, WI area. Milwaukee figures in there in the past, too.
Aside from posting some really stupid ideas on Reddit about how she thinks the world should work (likely due to her being a total pothead), Astin is known for exhibiting narcissistic and potentially schizophrenic behavior, and much of this is well-documented at Kiwi Farms and other places around the web (links and screenshots to support these claims will appear as they are discussed in this post). More recently, she has taken to becoming a crusader for righteousness and morality, taking up arms against lolcow boards by defending an incestuous rapist. Sounds fun? Let's dig in!
Will the Real Astin Soul Please Stand Up?
Before we start, I should address the fact that reasonable doubt has been cast on Astin's true identity. For one, she seems to have roleplayed various people through the years, which has muddied the waters for anyone who looks into her. In the SC days, she would use chat as "Luna Prey", but then she would go away and then "Michael Prey" would appear, typing in exactly the same style and using the same linguistic patterns and idioms as her.This led some to believe that she doesn't actually exist, and is simply some fat neckbeard catfishing thirsty dudes. However, there are others who believe that she actually does exist, and it's instead the brother who was invented... and sometimes that "brother" gets conflated with being a "boyfriend", though that seemed to happen solely in the SC days, and maybe someone mentioned that having your brother as a boyfriend is not socially acceptable.
I tend to believe that Astin is actually a twenty-something woman, simply because I have yet to see any evidence that would disqualify her existence. She certainly uses being a girl on the Internet to her advantage, and has for nearly a decade. She also seems to be very concerned about her pictures leaking to the Internet, even to this day when those pictures have had years out there. If she were indeed catfishing as a girl, why would she be so concerned about that? So - I think she's real, but of course you can draw your own conclusions.
The Early Years
Not much is known about Astin prior to 2013. She was originally seen posting some bullshit in various places under the name "lunaprey". Screenshots of her earliest writings come from a KF thread which we will discuss in the next section, but here:Obviously, at this stage of Astin's life, we were dealing with a lulzy teenager who liked to edgepost (probably while high af) while making up odd claims (running a business in China?). This leads us to...
Sociopath Community
From at least 2013 until sometime after 2016, Astin helped administrate the Sociopath Community board, which included forums and chat. It wasn't a very interesting place, its most active users being a bunch of teenage-level edgelords (though some were in their 30s or 40s) posting 3edgy5me shit about murder and other awesome topics. Astin used the name "Lunaprey" (or "Luna Prey") here. She and her "brother", "Michael Prey", handled adding features and making sure that the software worked (though there were issues with that).The community, and Astin by extension, first appeared on the radar on January 15, 2016, when Kiwi Farms user CatParty actually posted a decent topic for once about SC, which eventually reached 48 pages: https://kiwifarms.net/threads/sociopath-community-com.16540/
Within hours, a couple of weens decided that it would be FUCKING HILARIOUS U GUYZ to raid that board and announce that KF was making fun of them. This caused some of their users to conduct a failraid on KF, with one even getting KF kicked off of their web host for posting what they claimed was CP (which was not CP, but that is outside the scope of this thread). Eventually, most of those users ended up with threads...
... including Astin herself. On January 26, 2016, her KF thread debuted, courtesy of KF user chimpburgers: https://kiwifarms.net/threads/soulcreatives-astin-vixen-soul-luna-prey-knave-soul.16938/ (page 1 archive, page 2 archive, page 3 archive)
This thread eventually ended up reaching only 3 pages, but much of the information about Astin known to that point comes from here, especially from SC user/moderator Turncoat's post detailing her own experience dealing with Astin (in fact, the pictures and several of the screenshots up to this point come from that post (page 1 archive)). None of this painted Astin in a favorable light, but it provided a more complete look at who she is, and even gave us some pictures (as previously stated).
For completeness' sake, we'll mention that the same dipshit who got KF's hosting pulled for lying about CP also made a thread about Astin and her "brother", but it was unsurprisingly full of AIDS and fail: https://kiwifarms.net/threads/luna-prey-and-michael-prey.17007/
Astin is the only user who stayed on KF after the failraid despite getting a thread, though her activity was mainly making some failposts trying to defend her board and shitting up a couple of other threads randomly.
Eventually, after a short time of being known as "Null's Personal Cumslut", she was force-named to "Astin Soul", which is why we are using that name in this post. Once interest died down a month or so later, Astin stopped posting, and aside from some curious posts a couple of years ago from a KF user named NOTLUNA who posted in Astin's KF thread about how Astin was stealing her picture (and being summarily ignored, more or less), not much happened until recently.
Boards.zone
Boards.zone (archive) is Astin's latest project, and judging by the copyright dates at the bottom of the front page, it has existed since 2017. The connection to Astin was made due to a post she made on Kiwi Farms that existed just long enough to get into some search results before some jannie nuked it. Here's all that remains of it in the Bing cache (which is why it looks like fuck).She's even tried shilling this thing on Reddit: (archive)
Upon first glance, it bears a striking resemblance to what Sociopath Community looked like, right down to the board and chat layout/functionality, but parlayed into being a platform vs. a single board. The platform is hosted on Amazon's AWS (the A record for boards.zone points to an IP address whose PTR/reverse record shows that it is in us-east-2, if you want to get technical), although the whois record for the boards.zone domain appears to be privacy protected (not surprising, due to GDPR and other privacy measures these days).
It seems like a solution in search of a problem, as anyone who has been on the Internet for a day or two in the last five years will probably gravitate toward Facebook, Reddit, or other much more successful platforms to find an audience to discuss a particular topic or hang out somewhere. As a result, there isn't much traction on this platform, as evidenced by the Featured Boards barely having any posts, with one glaring exception:
The presence of a "Free Chris Chan" board is surprising at first, not only because it's the only one with more than one post, but also it's the one topic in which Astin now has a special interest.
Astin Reinvented: Chris-chan White Knight
Anyone who is reading this knows that in July 2021, Christine (Christian) Weston Chandler of Ruckersville, VA, did the unspeakable and allegedly repeatedly raped Barbara Weston Chandler (Chris's mother) over the course of the previous month or so. This, of course, has landed Chris in jail on an incest charge (with more potentially coming as the case works its way through the legal process), and has renewed interest in The Internet's Most Documented Person, even among those who didn't know of (or care about) Chris's existence beforehand. There are many theories put forth as to why Chris was engaging in these terrible acts, who put Chris up to this (a certain zoomer with a subforum on KF continues to be blamed, for instance - again, outside of the scope of this thread), what will happen to the house/car/pets/Chris, etc.Where Astin ties into this is that she has decided, after watching the first 10 parts of Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History, to become a Chris-chan white knight. Chris has had white knights for longer than Chris has been known to the Internet (i.e. Anna McLerran, Kim Wilson, etc.), so that's nothing new, although the timing in this case is extremely suspect. If we also consider that part 10 of the Comprehensive History series leaves off in early 2009, which means that it has covered the Megan saga and some of the other earlier stuff that Chris did without troll intervention, Astin's decision to go CWC white knight reeks of someone trying super hard to fit even that old content into a current narrative against cyberbullying.
Starting in early August 2021, she started defending her newfound interest by... moralposting. Her latest MO is to go on websites (mainly KF) and directly accuse all - yes, ALL - KF users of conspiring against Chris. She has even gone as far as to suggest that these users gave Chris the idea to rape Barb by way of making up Bella. I hope that the irony of someone who has roleplayed a brother and potentially others in the past now accusing people of making someone up to troll people is not lost.
Astin especially seems to hate Null/Joshua Conner Moon, and appears to be constantly trying to point an accusatory finger toward him.
Naturally, she found a tough crowd on KF who was all too eager to remind her of her lolcow status and her past failures such as SC... if they didn't just tell her off for being a dipshit.
Her exceptional behavior attracted the ire of the site's staff, even resulting in her recently picking up a week-long ban from the CWC subforum from local jannie Ellesse_warrior for her outright Null a-logging. Of course, she chimped out about this, too, on her CWC board:
She has also taken her fight to Reddit. Her takes can be found on several subreddits (r/awfuleverything, r/redditmob, r/ChrisChanSonichu, r/CWCandSonichuResearch, etc.). Results so far have been mixed, but at least she hasn't gotten herself banned from anywhere on Reddit over it... yet. Have some examples of her infinite wisdom:
- (page removed - use the archive)
- (archive)
In the context of the CWC metaverse, Astin is still one of the lesser white knights, most likely due to not having been around until after Chris got arrested. We will continue to monitor the situation if something notable happens, but outside of a major revelation, not much is going to change anytime soon.
Astin Today
These days, Astin spends most of her time online sperging on Reddit about online games, leftist censorship, the decline of western civilization, Chris being a good boy who dindu nuffin, Null being the Antichrist, and whatever else she can do to be a nuisance and get attention for being "different". You can read her ruminations on the human condition here, but be forewarned that there are probably thousands of posts to go through: https://www.reddit.com/user/lunaprey (first page archive as of original post date)She also is more or less the only regular poster on her own Free Chris Chan board (archive), and it's mostly her shouting into the void under the names "astinsoul", "lunaprey", and "alise" about how terrible Joshua Conner Moon is while pushing outdated information about him and his hosting. Occasionally, the board attracts people like Matthew Hopkins or some coomer creep who wants to fuck her strictly on the basis of her being a girl on the Internet, but all in all, it's yet another failed project of Astin's.
Here are some examples of the fine, high-quality posts you can read on that board:
- http://freechrischan.boards.zone/to...be-banned-from-kiwi-farms-for-defending-chris (archive) - lol b& for being a sped on KF
- http://freechrischan.boards.zone/to...f25/list-of-illegal-things-null-is-accused-of (archive) - DAT DAM DIRTY N00L!@ LETS GET IM GUYZ!~@

I don't know how people can even be entertained by his schtick at this point though; it's repetitive.

I'm actually a good looking guy, six feet tall, smart, and I have a good heart too. I know there are a lot of creeps around so it's really risky, but for now I just want to talk to her.

Thanks to KF users CatParty, chimpburgers, and Turncoat for unknowingly contributing to this thread.Additionally, I will be updating this from time to time as I discover more content worthy of sharing (I have already edited this post a few times since posting it to correct errors, improve flow, add content, and so forth), or if I need to fix some archiving/linking issues. This is one of those lolcows where there's a lot to be discovered, but it takes a lot of digging to get there, and the original KF thread just doesn't do it justice.
Also, no thanks to Archive.today for throwing up a fucking captcha every three seconds, and Google for being a royal PITA to use over Tor. DuckDuckGo is shit, and Bing sucks, too, but at least they work over Tor.
