everything I read in December (& what I thought about them)

[nb-swordk9]

Shit man, this math war is fucked. I just saw a guy draw a commutative diagram and say "one point compactification" or some similar shit, and everyone around him got folded into a 3-sphere and vanished into 4d-space. The camera didn't even go onto him, that's how common shit like this is. My ass is casting ε-δ and quotient spaces. I think I just heard "infinity-groupoid coskeleton tower" two groups over. I gotta get the fuck outta here.

memory of a name

[son-of-lunadeyis]

i don't like the fact that grizzly said that modify memory is a powerful spell + him saying "if that's what you remember, then yeah" to bizly asking if he'd remember being on the ship during the storm + the voices in the hole saying "welcome home" + chip never mentioning / possibly not remembering what came before meeting Arlin. don't like it.

just wanted to add some thoughts to the memory vial/brain dead au (or whatever we're calling it)

because of course ford's guilt about using the memory gun on stan is so much worse than it is in canon, not just for the obvious reasons but also because like

this wasn't the plan

Stan agreed to have his memories erased—of course he did, the whole thing was his idea. But he didn't know he was going to die. Granted, I feel like Stan probably still would've been willing to make that sacrifice if he had known that. But I don't think Ford would've.

Ford just thought he was turning his brother into an amnesiac, and even then he almost couldn't bring himself to pull the trigger. And of course he knew it was going to hurt, having Stan look at him like he's a stranger, but at least that's the outcome he was preparing himself for.

He was not prepared to see Stan's body topple over on its side, his unblinking eyes staring blankly ahead. Ford rushes to his brother's aid, grabbing him by the shoulders, trying to rouse him, calling his name (except, he wouldn't know his own name anymore, would he?). Stan's not moving. He's not breathing. Oh God, he's not breathing. Ford glances at the memory gun on the ground next to them, and horror washes over him as he realizes what he's done. The gun erased more than just memories, it erased everything. Stan's brain was a floppy drive and Ford was the magnet, wiping it clean and leaving it broken beyond repair.

No, no, this wasn't the plan. Time to call off the con. This wasn't supposed to happen. Stop, cut, abort mission, abort mission!

But it's too late. What's done is done, and he can't take it back.

Oh God, I killed him.

Sobbing now, Ford mutters choked-out apologies, first to Stan's body as he holds him tight—and again at his grave after he's buried. And the apologies start up anew every time he visits.

As the years go on, Ford is haunted by all the what-ifs that might've saved his brother's life. What if he had thought to type "Stanley Pines memories" into the memory gun instead of just "Stanley Pines", would it have kept his essential brain functions intact? Hell, what if he typed in "Bill Cipher"? Would that have been enough to kill the bastard and still let Stanley keep most of his memories and, more importantly, his life?

Ford doesn't know the answer to that question. And he'll never know. Because as much as he longs for it, he'll never have that chance to go back and do it differently.

Woe, Paragon of Deceit be upon ye

Was sketching out some stuff for the Virtue duo, ibis paint is still my wife but infinite painter is fun for doodles

【More stuff undercut】

Anyhow decided that I'm redesigning both, Shilk deserved a bit of a glow up too AND gets to keep some "fount for knowledge" design elements since he never really corrupts in Virtuous Advice.

He's just goofy and wimsy and doing his job don't mind him

oh louis, you’ll never get away from the sound of the man that loves you

[so-very-small]

i want to be a tiny, so when a giant spots me i can flee and inevitably stumble and twist my ankle. the giant would take me up in their gentle hands, bring me home and carefully bandage me up. they’d slowly work to gain my trust, cooking me fancy meals and giving me a warm place to sleep. over the course of a few weeks, they’d slowly start to gain feelings for me. at this point, i’ve already secretly looted all of their spices and ibuprofen and stashed it in a secondary location. it was easy, as my ankle was never actually twisted. giants are gullible. the night they confess their love, i tell them i love them back. after they fall asleep, i leave. i never return, and they never ever ever stop thinking of me. i’ve done this to a dozen giants, and i’ll keep on doing it, until i have enough vanilla sticks and ibuprofen to fund a retirement to a nice dollhouse in Florida.

Time cast a spell on you…..

[lokh]

(ch 40 spoilers) au where qifrey erases olruggios memories one too many times and he forgets qifrey and ONLY qifrey

sometimes using forbidden magic that no one really knows how to wield anymore comes with unintended consequences!

eventually qifrey comes upon a solution, but it will return ALL his memories to him. will he risk it...?
