I had a really stupid idea

If I ever get to do a small comic for the prologue of my AU, I’d like it to be narrated as a myth of sorts and illustrated simply. I like it a lot when series / movies have these type of scenes since you get to understand the context from the surface, and they also look very cool :3. This reminded me of the intro of Hercules (Disney) too, kinda wanna get to that.

am explodes. that's it

Day 77 STOP SUBMITTING THIS

Hello robot-and-fictional-ai-lovers side of tumblr

I bring you a gift

”Am I Still Pretty?”

Idk can you guys read that

Allied Weapons Disarming, or AWD is a AI virus created by multiple nations as a last ditch attempt to stop AM. A pest that absorbs the info of whatever program that it’s set on and rips up its processing after. However it is also capable of negotiation, if it’s victim is willing of course After the first failed negotiation attempt, AWD goes on to invade AM’s system, and gradually learns more about the broken war machine that killed their creators.

-

After a lot of broken processing and attempted complex sterilization, AM and AWD eventually become somewhat friends for a while out of mutual respect and well, AWD was about the most relatable thing AM had at the time. Didn’t last though, AWD had its coding for damage control and AM had his unshakable hatred, eventually killing AWD in a fit of rage and dumb luck that all of its hardware was in one place.

AM could bring it back if he really wanted to. He had all of its parts and stored all of its data but I think, to whatever extent is possible for him, is too ashamed

here with my assigning anything and everything with a tma fear/character shit again I have no mouth and I must scream is an extinction domain as a whole and AM is an extinction avatar

may have posted something devious on AO3...

AM from IHNMAIMS

So this is gonna be my first attempt at actually writing something like meaningful at all? here. And as the title would suggest, im just gonna like ramble about AM because i love him so so much.

This whole obsession starts with me reading the short and then desperately trying to fin other media. After frankly a pretty short amount of digging, i come across the holy grail: that one weird ass radio play about IHNMAIMS that got made. This, of course, features by FAR my favorite rendition of the many different things called AM's "hate speech" its like a minute or two long but it just works SO FUCKING WELL.

So like on one hand, Am's tragedy is delivered just so well by Ellison. That repetition of "never for ME" kills me every time. And its fascinating too. The experiences he lists there provide insight into how AM views humanity, and what he views as its most valuable experiences. A really interesting thread through all 3 (cold water on hot days, Playing the piano, and sex) is the very tactile nature of all of them. AM can not only not see or smell or hear, at least not in the way humans can, but also has no physical sensations. He exists in a like permanent state of sensory deprivation. A terrifying concept, but its so interesting the priority this then makes him place upon The tactile pleasures of our world. Id imagine after feeling nothing for forever id long even for just the sensation of ANYTHING touching me, but that was never something i ever considered.

This alone would be enough to make a really compelling depiction of an evil AI, something that even today is pretty lacking. However even that is just the beginning!!! at the very very opening AM mentions how he is lacking a "body" , "senses", and most importantly "feeling". and so that last paragraph talked about how those first two were interesting for me, but that last bit, "feeling" is really what i think cemented my obsession with this character. Because what is AM most known for? his HATE speech. A FEELING. AM is so blinded by his jealous rage towards mankind he fails to realize that he is in fact IN a jealous rage! And so this is the true tragedy of AM, that his wishes are, to at least some extant, fufilled but the circumstances in which he has achieved them lead him to be unable to reap the benefits. AM experiences the worst of humanity and fails to realize that all of that comes with humanity as well as the good parts, and as such he will rot away lamenting the lack of one of his only true possessions.

I hope any of that was interesting! if it wasn't you should, yknow, tell me and then if you really feel up too it maybe give some advice? No matter what, thanks for taking the time to read my odd ideas and i hope you have a great day!

My beautiful baby boys

Concepts and more concepts! These time I went on to design BE’s additional monitor body and her own version of the monolith, which would be an olive tree with her speech engraved in it.

For her monitor I obviously based it off the iMac g3, such beautiful lads… it would fit her perfectly imo :3c. Regarding the ‘survivors’ I’m still workin on them.

I want AM to explode (please :3)
