“Becoming Nobody: An Engineering Blueprint for Recursive Self-Erasure Through Metaphysical Re-indexing”

ABSTRACT This paper explores the systematic deconstruction and reinvention of selfhood as a recursive engineering process. Inspired by popular cultural artifacts such as Mr. Robot and Fight Club, we examine the metaphysical implications of digital existence, online persona dissolution, and fact-finding automation as acts of resistance and transcendence. We treat identity as a computational…

This might not happen but...

In your Haunted Prime AU

Would the Primes try to encourage Optimus to adopt Bee and start encouraging him even more more they found out about that Bee was Sub level 50 for who knows how long?

as a little brother certainly! i think Optimus and Bee are closer in age in TF:One than they are in other continuities so their relationship is more fraternal than anything!

but the Primes absolutely encourage anything that involves Optimus having more friends. they're incredibly glad to be able to help and support OP but they definitely think his support network should have some actual living bots and not just ghosts.

most of them are immediately endeared to Bee and the novelty of being able to communicate with someone other than Optimus, even if it has to be through Micronus, makes him a instant favorite.

finding out how isolated Bee had been and for how long only makes them more resolved to have OP spend more time with him. two birds one stone kinda deal.

Wait YOU MADE THE HERE COME THAT MIKU VIDEO?????

THAT WAS LIKE ONE OF MY FIRST THINGS I SAW WHEN I GOT INTO VOCALOID HOLY SHIT

I FORGOR WHAT IT WAS CALLED AND NOW I FOUND IT

my goal in life is to draw subjects so far removed from each other/vary the way i draw enough such that i get asks like these surprised that i am That Person

[canisalbus]

I have to ask what drew vasco into falling in love with machete?

His snivelling runt ways were just that irresistable.

[cluster-b-culture-is]

loveless aspd culture is always freezing up when youre asked what you like about someone you know and just giving a two word response like “theyre funny” or “theyre nice” because you genuinely cannot answer the question

.

[kittyscabin]

the way you draw Hoffman is almost singularly responsible for making me want to get into saw. Like a pal of mine was showing me some clips and it WAS itching the brain but then he showed me your art and I was done for. Instant babygirl unlocked. You just. You draw him really hot. Thank you for your service

well now look what you've done! you've encouraged him!

in all seriousness though this is SUCH a nice ask and i'm!! so happy you like how i draw him WAHH he's one of my favorite guys ever!!

BUT ALSO WHOEVER U ARE DEFINITELY GET INTO SAW i cannot be normal anymore. i have brainrot in the shape of fucked up petty gay people

can you tag your stuff about transmisandry?

you should be able to block the terms in tumblr's blocking system in order to filter them

Hello again, more biting questions hehe. When Valentina gets jealous of mc biting Hana, she attacks you. If you say "its not what it looks like" she mocks you and then says you're still the same. If you say you were just hungry and apologize, mc feels bitter and the narration says it feels familiar saying that to her.

Did the mc cheat on Valentina in their past? Did they do it to each other? Or is Valentina referencing something else? I know this could also be head canon territory but I was so fascinated by every variation of her attacking mc and the differences in her reactions. I'm loving the emotions and uncertainty and drama in this demo. Thank you!

Was Aku blowing up Scaramouche's head in the second to last episode justified to you?

I mean if I were Aku and a minion gave me outdated information and I am in the presence of my enemy with the one weapon to destroy me, I would be mad too cause of the risk of me getting sliced to pieces and killed.

I don't think murdering someone for giving you incorrect information is justified, no.

I think it makes sense that Aku did it, but that's a different question altogether.

btw shout out to all my regulars 🙌 even if you just semi occasionally like a few posts of mine i notice and appreciate u

[anonauthorsworkshop]

So you mean Mc has a similar presence to brothers death? But not to hangy? Makes sense i guess since the brothers are the biggest nerds of the universe.

The Brothers Death are omniscient. MC is now essentially omniscient. do with that what you will

im really impressed by how alien and different from each other you make the different splatoon species' cultures

how do you do it?

Wow thank you! I frequently start by figuring out the basic biology/physiology of a species. Of course, when you're dealing with sapient beings (aka "people"), biology doesn't necessarily dictate their behaviors, their personalities, etc. But it's really useful to keep in mind how it can affect how they experience the world physically, because it can affect basically everything else to varying degrees. I use this biological baseline (?) to kick off the culture development dominoes, essentially.

Like, glancing at humans as an example to kind of walk through the process. Humans have very little hair/fur to keep them warm, so they often wear clothing in cooler climates. This is the first step, where we're simply addressing a practical problem. The next step would be to think about how this behavior may be interpreted by different groups as their cultures develop. This could be stuff like "in places where wearing clothing became the norm, many cultures have developed various levels of nudity taboos". From there you can endlessly iterate on different ways this can manifest, or cases where it doesn't apply, etc etc etc. After a few degrees of separation from the initial Physical Constraint you're no longer just doing biology shit, you're getting into People doing people shit. Just keep on Musing over it until I'm bored and want to think abt something else.

Another important Physical Aspect I want to keep in mind are the environments that these cultures developed in, because a desert culture and a jungle culture are going to have different Experiences shaping them - but lol I have to. Figure out the map situation for that. So we have been a bit lighter on that end. Thought process would be the same as the above though.

As an aside. Something that has been difficult but important has been keeping in mind that, at least in this setting, different species have been coming into contact at different points of history. Although it's hard to get this across when you havent named anything, there isn't actually a singular Squid Culture, or Shark Culture, Fish Culture, or whatever. Each species have/had multiple cultural groups, and as people moved around and came into contact with each other they've exchanged ideas, merged, split again... All the stuff that goes on between human groups, but with multiple species involved! When people in-universe mention a "[species] culture", it's usually a more colloquial/casual reference to a local subculture or something similar. Actual single-species cultures are rare in the modern day, and are usually from places that are physically isolated or are difficult for other species to thrive in. Octarians and Salmonids are good examples from canon. Outside of canon, many of the surviving single-species groups are Fish living in extreme cold and/or arid climates, as most other species are less tolerant of desiccation, cold, or both.

It is 1:44 am and I'm losing my thread here. To summarize: figure out the physical constraints (biological, environmental, etc) and explore the chain of Effects that might result from them. Also think about how exchange with other cultures would change things. Also sometimes just fucking come up with an idea you think would be cool and run with it honestly

sometimes i hate reading fan fic because after it's over i will never have anything from that universe anymore and i will never feel what it made me feel again
