thinking about alpha kaiser. should i explode

[shepscapades]

Uhhhhh. Uh. Do you ever think about the fact that Welsknight is the only member of the Evil Empire that joined simply because Xisuma convinced him to, and that he’s the only one there who is never directly manipulated, controlled, or corrupted by Evil X (Android 24)? Completely unrelated thought but I wonder what it’s like to be surrounded by the people you trust most slowing becoming brainwashed, the only ‘sober’ one as you watch their familiar faces slowly become unrecognizable

Alternatively: I got possessed by my corner of the magmaboard and the incomprehensible horrors Freakin Got Me

This is meant to be after the circus, its non canon to my au but its still my human designs ahshshs. I did this on aggie so its super oversimplified and i didnt have much of a story to begin with buuut i sorta came up with one i guess.

The main idea is that nearly a year after escaping the circus, Jax manages to find most of the cast including Pomni and Ragatha. But he doesn’t tell them about it and instead suggests Pomni visit a local café which he is aware Ragatha works at. They end up having this encounter and they’re immediately drawn to each other but they dont reveal who they really are because they both have doubts. So they end up meeting over and over again until eventually theyre like omg ur the loml!!! bla bla bla they grow old and die together. The end!!

Semi-related to my post on how human conservation practices, but I have a cold today, and it's got me thinking about biological altruism—the biological imperative to put other creatures ahead of yourself, to benefit the group.

When talking about possible interactions with other species, we talk a lot about humans being crazy and thrill-seeking and impossible to kill. Never use a warning shot as an incentive to keep humans out of a fight; it'll just make them angry. And that's true. But a valid criticism I've seen in the "Earth is a death world" community is that according to our understanding of evolution, every planet must be some form of death world. Competition fosters evolution—the wolf with sharper claws survives when its litter mates die. You can't reach space travel without some casualties along the way.

But the dog survives because it makes friends with the strange ape carrying a sharp stick. And the strange ape survives because it befriends the wolf. Underneath the death world is an inextricable and undeniable layer of the bond world; the love world; the world, together.

I imagine some worlds are not death worlds. They're peaceful and tranquil. I suspect there are worlds far more deadly than Earth, where the skies rain diamonds, harder than any substance we know with the species to match. And I imagine that they are united in their confusion at the duality of humankind.

Today is a great example: I have a cold, and I want someone to take care of me, but the people who would are immunocompromised, also sick, or live 8 hours away, respectfully. I also want no one within the walls of my apartment or I will eat them. I feel gross, I feel tired, and I don't want a single human being anywhere near me, even if they did bring soup.

In my constant scrolling through my phone today, I decided to look up why the hell I feel so bad—why everyone feels so bad when they're ill. And the answer surprised me. I always thought it was because your immune system is active, so it's using a lot of your energy. That is part of it. Another part is that your brain and body are communicating across the blood-brain barrier to fight the infection, which is rare and energetically expensive.

But that doesn't explain everything, and according to more current research, it could also be what's called the Eyam Hypothesis: that we feel so gross, so we instinctively isolate from other people. We're too tired to deal with others, and so we don't infect them. Misanthropy for the good of the species. Of course, it can also backfire: one of the criticisms of the Eyam Hypothesis is that humans also instinctively care for each other. If my brother has a headache, I drive to the store for Advil.

Personally, I think it's a little bit of both: biological altruism. Either way, the majority live on. The first thought I had this morning when I woke up wasn't "I feel gross" it was "there's no way I'm going to work today." And while that might not be everyone's first thought, you don't even have to be a particularly altruistic person to not want to leave your home or your bed when you're sick. It's inborn.

And so when the human named Ismail comes down with a case of the interstellar common cold, his alien friend Dyos grows very concerned. Ismail is usually intensely social, almost off-puttingly so. Some crew members joke about how his quarters are for sleeping and prayer only; if he's home alone? You should be worried. But when Dyos demands an answer to the severity of Ismail's malady, the other humans just nod knowingly.

"Nah, he's okay, the medics already cleared him. It's not a severe infection."

"But there are so many...fluids. And his body has changed color."

There is a moment of confusion there until they remember that Dyos's species can see in the infrared color spectrum.

"Nah, that's just a low-grade fever. It should break in the next couple days."

"But he doesn’t want to play chess today," Dyos insists.

"Ohhhh," says human Claudia, finally understanding. "No, that's normal. Humans don't like being around other people when they're sick, it's supposed to be one of the major evolutionary advantages. Protect your community from your illness and the genes live on."

"So we're just going to leave him alone?" Dyos is troubled by this. He can go for weeks without speaking to another life form, but he has seen Ismail grow despondent when unable to participate in social gathering.

"Oh, no," human Claudia says, laughing. "We're going to employ one of the other most longstanding human evolutionary advantages."

There are many to choose from and Dyos settles on, "middle age?"

"Sort of," human Claudia opens up a small shipping container and holds up a brown paper bag tied with a colorful ribbon. It glows brightly in Dyos's vision, almost as brightly as human Claudia's smile. "His nanni's hot soup, express delivery."

Thinking about Akashi's parents as I always do, and I'm so very obsessed with the idea of heavily introverted asocial Masaomi, who can barely stand conversing with anyone outside his immediate family, and heavily extroverted talkative Shiori, who lives for attending social events and dragging her reluctant husband with her wherever she goes. Maybe this is just my desire to see loser (said endearingly) Masaomi look for the nearest quiet space five minutes into a gala, while Shiori is the one happily chatting it up with all of Masaomi's business partners like she's at a Sunday brunch with the girlies.

I'm in love with the split Phoenix AU!! It's such an interesting concept and the shape theory is beautiful!!

When Phoenix get accused of murdering Shadi Smith in Turnabout Trump, which Phoenix is arrested? And how does Apollo react to first seeing them?

Kristoph would be the kind of guy to use (: and 🙃 in messages ( passive-aggressive )

In this AU, Nick and Feenie both keep up that fake relationship with Kristoph (to varying extents), but both hate the man (and he hates both of them)

And so here, he’s trying to get Nick sentenced so that Feenie loses the serious, critical-thinking side of Phoenix and so it’ll be much more difficult to get Kristoph taken down

So he makes sure that Apollo understands immediately that Phoenix is lying to him and that he shouldn’t trust him (knowing full well the irony)

So yeah, Nick is the one to get arrested, but I thought it would be funny to draw them as the Barbie / Ken mugshot meme on that last page, so there it is :)

Transcript under the cut ^^

Page 1-

Apollo: Oh I’m so nervous…Phoenix Wright is my idol

Nick: Hey kid.

Page 2-

Apollo: (Sheesh losing his job really changed him, didn’t it?)

Nick: Don’t worry, kid. I’m not as scary as I look.

Feenie: He’s right! He’s actually scarier!

Apollo: Oh, uh…hi. Who’re you?

Nick: *shakes head* (indicating to Feenie to not tell Apollo the truth yet)

Apollo: (thinking about how sus this interaction is)

Feenie: I’m Ryu! Phoenix’s twin brother!

Page 3-

Apollo: huh…Never knew you had a twin, Mr. Wright

Kristoph: That’s because he doesn’t

Kristoph: It’s okay, you two. Mr. Justice here is the lawyer today. You can trust him.

Nick: Hello Kristoph.

Feenie: TOFFEE!

Feenie: (he’s an ✨Actor✨…Despises Kristoph)

Apollo: Wait I’m so confused. If he’s not your brother, then who is he?

Page 4-

Nick and Feenie: We’re both Phoenix Wright.

Apollo: WHAT?! Like an alternate universe?! Like in Spider-Verse?! *Nerd noises*

Nick: Woah, slow down kid. Not at all. Phoenix split into two. Into me, Nick, and him, Feenie.

Apollo: (thinking about it)

Apollo: Wait, so which one of you is on trial?

Kristoph: Nicholas here is.

Nick: that’s not even my name.

Page 5-

Apollo: Look…you’re 1/2 of Mr. Wright. You would know…He wouldn’t kill anyone, right?

Feenie: well…

Apollo: WHAT DO YOU MEAN “WELL-“

[arcane-strangeness]

whats your is one thing that you feel strongly about a fandom/media you like that no one else gets?

Aloy, from the Horizon video game series (Zero Dawn, Forbidden West) is a rat, in the way that she's constantly weaseling her way into spaces she isn't supposed to be in and causing problems on purpose. whether that's clambering around the vents in the GAIA base, climbing absurdly high buildings with zero regard for safety (much to Alva's concern, in the Leviathan quest), or brute forcing her way through social interactions (so many questions, she needs to know everything always all of the time), the outcast lifestyle definitely had a lasting impact on her lmao

she is not the voice of reason among her friends, she is the voice of "i'll do it till it's done even if it kills me" much to the concern of EVERYONE around her. someone make this girl take a break because giving her one is not gonna be enough for her to take it. she fought what was essentially a god to her, fell 30-50 feet into water below, swam a decent ways away while being shot at by essentially alien laser guns, was sucked underwater by a current, bashed into several things, thrown off a cliff face in a waterfall, bashed around some more, knocked unconscious, and still tried to get up walk around and keep going a day after the fact. the only reason she seems like a somewhat rational person is because everyone else on the goddamn planet has lost their minds. i love her <3
