Reflexive Capture — The Rise of the Algorithmic Double – Part 2

In the expanding architectures of datalogical power, the self is no longer merely a passive object of surveillance or an externalised phenomenon of institutional capture. Rather, it becomes a self-generating artefact, a reflexive construction that emerges through the constant folding of information back into experience, affect, habit, and choice. The individual, once imagined as a discrete…

Okay. Since we're going over all the takes on Mr. X at this point.. What if his powers really don't have a backside. What if (the state of) his normal life is the backside.

What if his normal life is akin to that of heroes where he has to pretend to be something he's not and follow rules that the people who control his life came up with to further their own goals. What if he can only be free of other people's beliefs and expectations when he's a hero.

What if in reality he truly is like everyone else. The other heroes. The ordinary people. All those who work themselves to the bone, who are tired and overworked and sick of all the exploitation...

What if when he's in the form of the number one hero.. when he becomes the most sought after product on the hero market..

Is when he gains the freedom to truly be himself

so we're just saying all the quiet parts out loud about Callum's psyche and his construction of his own identity huh

heart's desire power ending is great because it's like what if you got torturous mindbreaking surgery every month and then it was immediately followed by inverse therapy slowly and steadily grooming you into Something You Are Not, shaping the fundamental aspects of your personality and identity before you even realize they're being altered, destroying your instincts until you forget if, or even why you ever wanted to protest this in the first place, and you did all of that while being at the mercy of an utterly poisonous group of ""people"" who decimate your mental health just by existing in your presence. and you threw away your chance at freedom and adoration and escape and happiness just for this. you chose this, deliberately, purposefully. you brought this upon yourself. you have no choice but to outlive everything you love and watch the person you were fade into a distant memory and you don't even have the dignity to scream and cry and fight against it anymore. it doesn't even cross your mind. you chose this, just you, entirely of your own volition, and now you have to live with it. You Have To Live With It.

and also what if you were an AWESOME TRANSGENDER FURRY 🔥🔥🔥🦇🏳️‍⚧️🔥🔥🔥

"Because I'm resigning as High Mage effective immediately. I also abdicate my birthright, effective immediately. I am no longer a prince of Katolis, and I am no longer my brother's heir." There was a tiny strain to his voice—to not be there for Ezran in that level would be hard, but—Callum's smile never faltered. "All I am is engaged to the woman I love."

Feel free to share yours!

They barely interact in the entire show. The Yuri is not over, it never existed except in the ED

I didn’t say they had yuri in the show, I said it’s an Amuro-Char thing where the closest Amuro and Char got to showing romantic interest in someone was with Lalah, which is what Machu and Nyaan did with Shuuji, but ultimately Amuro had to kill Lalah like Machu killed Shuuji. It didn’t stop people from latching onto Amuro and Char so I don’t see why Machu and Nyaan should be any different.

actually i wanna talk abt smth else cause i'm probably the only person who watched gavv cause he was curious about this and ended up laughing at how much i was expecting. the potential for gavv to have any kind of commentary on being mixed lead to the funniest outcome of Just kill one side of the family and choose to completely identify with the other cause they're the good one. I'M SIMPLIFYING CAUSE IM JUST SHOWING MY INITIAL REACTIONS AS SOMEONE MIXED BUT REALLY

sorry if this is a weird question but how did you know you were transgender?

I honestly had no concept of gender when I was much younger, I just identified as a girl because that’s what I told I was but when I hit puberty around 11-12 I became aware of my body and it’s changes and knew it didn’t feel right but couldn’t think of myself as a boy so I tried to identify as non binary but it still didn’t feel right.

During sex ed we where given a note book where we where supposed to draw ourselves as adults and I was just compelled to draw myself as a man so I did and even wrote a different name on the book. when I was questioned I denied it but about then is when it was confirmed for me because becoming aware of gender and truly understanding what growing up showed me I thought of myself and perceived myself as male.

So a bit boring but that’s how, I think that year I came out to everyone and got my hair all cut and became the man I am today

I have a few photos of baby Dante I could post, I was a adorable little kid

Hi yes hello, I did more screenshots redraws and this time with one of my personal top characters of BSD. I think my deep affection for him carries through here. He's so much fun to draw! I had such a fun time making this.
