Funny how it re-contextualizes both the images and the commentary as a cohesive whole, the fish are speaking amongst each other wishing that the person whom they are staring at would stop. Truly masterful.

Must be lonely to be stuck in a computer in an abandoned theme park

Please write your story. Draw the artwork. Finish the animation. Continue on whatever project you're working on. It doesn't matter if you're not good at it, or you have doubts, or you're afraid of mistakes. Your creation has a right to exist, and it will be important to others.

Excellent piece of science fiction technology. Really cool to imagine all the ways it could go wrong, or be misused.

Like, Imagine scrolling through a short list of "Suggested Texts", and it's all of the most likely things you'd text at that moment. For some people it works great and they just pick the most likely text every time and it works fine for them. But some people feel kind of obligated not to text exactly what a computer said they'd text. What would the simulation predict they'd text then? If the result the sim gave would change what they'd do? Maybe it'd just throw an error.

if you had a machine that modeled reality accurately enough to be able to derive the future, u could make a genuine instant messaging app. like something that knows everything you're going to say could just update your recipient's screen earlier than the information would be able to reach them by normal means. your customers might be too busy having an existential crisis, though

This one's a goodie

Oh no! He's attacking!

Thinking about Mario villains got me trying to doodle a wacky little fly guy that would feel authentically early Mario style while still looking buggy enough to appeal to me

what if he was only inches tall but he was the King Bowser figure to the Dr Mario viruses

Attached as in immobile? Attached as in... magically bound? Too firmly a part of something bigger? If the throne room's flowers work, do you have an idea of what might also work?

[Immobile. but those other things sorta feel like that too... ]

[Either way, it'd be hard to move as moss.]

[I think anything that can conceivably be made to feel like a person could work. It's kinda like.... a pareidolic effect where it's like.... looks like it could work as a body? ]

[ It.... doesn't have to be human or maybe even organic. I just got to believe its a body.]

[ So like.... I guess corpse could work.... or a robot or a doll or some other junk...?]

[Man, I already miss my old body though....]

[... Or am I missing what came before it...?]

[ But.... what came before it? Was I even a human before this?]

[What the hell am I actually? ]

[Am I human? Or am I actually monster? Or am I something else entirely? I don't know anymore and it's freaking me out. ]

Dear Swan Soul: Are you somewhere safe? If not, keep moving. stay near ceilings. you can travel upwards freely, vessels cannot. If you are somewhere safe. "Nod" with some quick up-and-down movements.

They're not sure about their safety, but they feel like doing this will help them somehow...

you say it's my villain era and what you mean is that when you were six you panicked about wearing the right thing to kindergarten, what you mean is that in middle school nobody was eating, what you mean is that you spent high school prepping for college and college prepping for adulthood and adulthood fucking lost in the system.

what you mean is that you've been good. you were a good team player. you would have never considered yourself perfectionist - those are people more popular, prettier, more successful - but you carry any flaw like a secret in you, terrified someone will desert you for the simple reality of your personhood.

if you were good you could be loved. you could be loved if you were selfless and thoughtful and caring. if you bent over for every person, if you went above-and-beyond, it would absolve you of who you actually were. deep down, how horrible that you had needs. that you had boundaries, that you had desires. you learned young that you cannot afford to cut people out of your life - you would have nothing left. it is better to live in the service of others, to supplicate. to worship. you weren't exceptional, you had to make up for it in some way. to prove to others you were worthy.

if they need you, it's the same thing as loving you. if you are always-there, always-listening, always-friendly, you are filling a role. you have a purpose. you are living correctly.

villain era, you repeat. you mean: yesterday you finally told a man no. for hours afterwards, you couldn't control your heartbeat. you mean: you've been saying positive affirmations on repeat, trying to teach yourself any new thing about how self care is necessary. you mean: three weeks ago, due to a scheduling conflict, you finally told a coworker that no, you couldn't do them a "quick favor". you have felt bad about that ever since. sure, it would have made you work late and it would have been extra stress - but you feel bad about it nevertheless.

you tell your therapist you have been leaning into evil. she asks what that means. when you tell her: sometimes i prioritize my own needs, she doesn't find it funny. she looks at you a long time.

"and that's evil?" she clarifies.

"well," you say. "feels evil to me."

If enough people vote yes, we can form a sun commune and communicate by a new language we develop, one only using touch. On account of how all the air will be gone and so will all the light.

Anyways then we have the situation where there's like. a society of people who never die, forever, and gravity means they'll keep re-meeting repeatedly forever.

Victory?

i cannot be getting upset at ppl not understanding the weight of that immortality poll

I think at this point she harvests volatile metallic Potassium to eat.

When you're a dark and ancient eldritch god, you make your own potassium!

Plus...a banana is too small for her to get now. D: Kris was already tiny compared to her! A banana would be immediately squashed...and all potassium lost.
