ripple effect legacy // my tears are becoming a sea, M83

happy mochizuki monday!!!

On the string propaganda

Heeellll yeah

Bestie is an entire PLACE

I look at those guys and let me tell you the soul of that thing ain't just in the puppet, it's in all the neurons carrying the thoughts and emotions, it's in the power rails that serve as the heart. All the memories in the memory conflux and all the numbers we see flicker across displays, the flux condensers, the puppet; a little avatar.

No way these massive machines see life the same way we do. They have their own experiences and senses and things they hold dear. A world we can't imagine, a way of living we couldn't even comprehend.

I could never tear an iterator apart to be just a puppet. Who am I to decide how's life supposed to be enjoyed or perceived?

You treat your creechurs however you want- I ain't gonna dictate that. But damn, hearing the thrums and buzzes of the linear systems rail? They are alive with so much power, these mechanical beasts are exactly what they should be.

.......🤨?

smth smth about 'the thing that the character did that you thought was rly rly funny in the moment is actually linked to a terrible trauma that lies within said character.' or wahtever.

POV: You ask what Pyro's favorite thing is..

Just had the idea of someone asking pyro what their favorite thing is and after struggle to tell, lets say engie in this case, through quick, excited, mummbles and frantic hand movements. They run off. Engineer thinks hes running off to get paper or something to just write down the thing. But instead she comes back holding Miss Pauling akin to how one might hold a curled up kitten, proudly and loveingly. <3

my au where theyre open season because i thought about it and liked it

i just wanted to cheerlead bc you deserve it! it’s amazing that you’re bugfixing things and i say that bc ive followed you for ages and i know that you value being driven by a genuine passion for the work so im so happy for you that tnp still inspires you (as it should bc it is impeccable),, also i don’t want to undersell how wonderful the growth you’re feeling is! pls know from a fellow professional writer and editor that tnp was already of such a high quality and so you should be really excited about further improvement! i’m struggling not to sound patronising i just mean as someone whose literal job often hinges on this for ridiculous sums of money - i would bet on you every time. keep crushing it and spreading awareness about real world causes #freepalestine and i hope you have an great day you spread so much joy xx

thank you 💗

i don't mind seeing people interpret hope and lightning as having romantic connotations surrounding them in the lr lore, but i personally think claiming it to be proven as canon really undermines just how badly bhunivelze fucked with hope's head

"bhunivelze developed a romantic obsession with lightning because he absorbed hope's heart!" yes, but that's not all there is to it. you gotta keep in mind that bhunivelze used lightning to psychologically mess with hope for centuries, he used her image as a tool to get hope to obsess over the past and wish for nothing more than to be reunited with her (remember that the last time hope ever saw her was at the end of xiii, while everyone else aside from vanille and fang had come back at that point), and she had such a major hand in inspiring hope to become the person, the leader, he'd become since then

bhunivelze didn't inherit hope's emotions until after he had become obsessed with lightning as a symbol of the past. if you view hope's and lightning's relationship as platonic/familial (like i personally do) then bhunivelze becomes so much more sick, and it adds to the misogynistic undertones in his behavior toward mwynn and etro, his own family. he took something pure, the admiration a young boy had for an older woman who replaced his mom as his female role model, and twisted it into something dark, inappropriate and obsessive, something that would serve him. that's what he inherited. he was never able to love his mother or daughter, how could he possibly understand the familial love between hope and lightning?

bhunivelze's sudden feelings for lightning is, in my opinion, meant to disturb us because of how innocent hope's admiration for lightning actually is. turning hope back into a kid sells that even more, it specifically draws out lightning's maternal instincts toward him, just for her to be faced with what bhunivelze has twisted it into after centuries of torture. bhunivelze isn't representative of hope's and lightning's relationship, they're victims of his abuse of the human heart

again, interpreting them as romantic is fine and dandy if that's how you see them, but i feel like claiming it's all "proof that hope x lightning is canon" ignores a lot of important details surrounding them and bhunivelze, more specifically it downplays the absolutely devastating impact bhunivelze had on hope's state of mind, and subsequently, lightning's rage upon seeing it for herself

Since you draw the Superhero AU sometimes, I was wondering, how would that one scene of the first episode where Prowl injured because he didn't listen to Prime as human versions?

basically the giant roach monster thing's nanobots starts eating through his armor and then his skin

and then the issue after they override the monster is he has a bunch of inert microscopic metal bugs in his body that they cant get out

What do you think about gojo ships

I feel like I'm pretty indifferent to most of them. This is super cringe of me, but whenever I fall super in love with a character I don't often like shipping them romantically with anyone. 💀 (im delusional I know)

It doesn't help that for some reason the jjk fandom (especially twt) is weirdly aggressive about ships. I know it isn't all the shippers and it's mostly just the loud minority, but seeing so much of the discourse has kinda put me off and I don't really engage much with the ships in the fandom except for rarepairs and selfships bc alot of the time those communities are more wholesome and cozy (if that makes sense LOL)

ok no im so tired but ive had this Thing a Laughingstock Concept Thing in my Brain for Days Now and its.... basically what if Barnaby adopted a lil caterpillar. like it's not sapient or anything its literally A Wriggly Puppet Prop. but he finds it in his home and it reminds him of Howdy and he keeps it. he carries it everywhere. he treats it so tenderly and names it and everything. his delusional smitten subconscious is like "omg... mine & howdy's <3" he and Howdy are not even together at this point

so Barnaby cares for this lil caterpillar and Howdy ends up getting attached as well, because he's on the same shit as Barnaby. and eventually the lil caterpillar pupates, and they watch over the chrysalis So Excited to see what lil wormie will look like as a butterfly. and it emerges and they're so proud and weirdly emotional. the butterfly takes off on its first flight and lands on a flower patch

just in time for Eddie to trip and fall on the patch, instantly crushing it And the butterfly

have we been watching the same show? do yall not remember in season 2 where they reveal that laszlo is face blind to ppl with dark hair and accents and has in fact slept with nandor? or at the end of the episode where they sleep together to get rid of their erections lasting longer than 4 hours the witches viagra gave them? or during season 3 where meg tells him “you like women and men!” and he says “yes”?? why are we acting like its finally confirmed that nandor likes men??

the bunnysona has been made. tis me, tis helli howdy. They still got bad eyesight, love pretty lil rocks, and are very sensitive to loud noises and shouting :U

i don't think sonic translates particularly well into open world environments so it probably would be for the best if future games didn't go the same route as frontiers HOWEVER. they should return to the formula of huge hub worlds to give us a space to run around and goof off in like in frontiers. i want them to take sa1 06 and unleashed and expand on what they did. maybe make seamless transitions from hub world into stage environments who knows!!

Ive been drawing a lot of oc art for artfight references :D (my handle faetastik btw)
