kpop idol au yuzuha and reader but their groups are disbanding and both of them go on to become soloists and the lyrics to their songs just get even gayer and they collab and the song is still super duper gay and they go on tour together and they're literally holding hands in every pic together and they grin at signs they spot during concerts saying "lesbians 4 yuzuha/reader" and a photo of them kissing gets leaked but they stay quiet about it anyway

i don’t understand why writing plagiarism doesn’t get taken as seriously as art plagiarism. Writing is hard as fuck to perfectly execute and u bitches aren’t creative enough to make something original and yes i’m gonna also blame the people who still dickride the people who plagiarize even after they’re called out cuz all u fuckers want is the same porn writing over and over again and then said writer will complain constantly ab how they don’t get interactions or why they never have ideas and beg like an idiot for writing prompts LMFAOOOO likeee whatt get a grip baby nobody interacts w u bc ur writing is soulless and just a repetitive copy of the other

IM GONNA WRITE

[mqriuss]

heard someone say archive of our own should install a "dislike" button and I thought I should say this: no, there's absolutely no need for archive of our own to install a "dislike" button.

why? because archive of our own isn't tiktok or youtube or twitter/x where users can monetize their content. archive of our own is a nonprofit site run by fans for fans, which means every content — every fanfic — you see on archive of our own was made out of pure love and passion from the artists/authors.

ao3 authors write because writing about these characters is their happiness and passion. they write for themselves, but they were generous enough to share with you their creations.

they're not "content creators" the way tiktokers or youtubers or instagram models are. they don't "make content" for views and engagements that can be monetized.

so no, you don't get to "grade their works" unless they specifically and directly ask you to.

you don't get to "say what you dislike about their works" unless they specifically and directly ask you to.

you don't get to "dislike" works that are not made specifically to please you in the first place. you're just a guest in someone's house, a house in which they let you in because they were kind, you don't get to roam around their house and say what you dislike about their furniture. you don't get to roam around their house and say you "dislike their house".

of course, you can have your opinion about the house its host invites you in. but if it's a negative one and you find yourself not liking the house, the polite things for you to do is excuse yourself and leave without telling them you dislike their house.

and just because you personally dislike the house doesn't mean the house is "ugly" either. the house you dislike could be a favorite, most luxurious place to many others.

my point is, don't be entitled by wanting the rights to voice your disapproval of things that you get to enjoy for free. don't be entitled by wanting the rights to voice your disapproval of things that were made out of love and passion — things the artists made for themselves for fun.

it makes you look like an entitled jerk with main character syndrome. the universe does not revolve around you.

now repeat after me: don't like don't read. no one forces you to continue reading a fic you don't like. quietly leave instead of being rude to authors who write for free because writing is their source of comfort.

people are so used to contents that were made because it's a trend / contents like tiktok that were made with the main purpose of reaching high engagement and making profits that they forget sometimes things can be made out of love and be made just for fun. sometimes things are supposed to just be for people to enjoy, and if some people don't enjoy them, then they can simply leave without being unnecessary unkind.

Holo-screen - A holographic display projected to life from a device that can be integrated seamlessly into furniture and surfaces like tables, countertops and drawers. They can be activated through various gestures such as stepping near it, or waving a hand. The holo-screen device is now a common *household item and has multiple uses in daily life. They allow users to browse the web, read the news, play games, listen to music, view maps, make calls with holographic projections, send messages, store files, manage security systems, etc. The size of the screen can also be adjusted with just a couple taps. Lancers and Handlers like Rindou and Koko may use these devices to access the Handler's Hub.

*Holo-screen devices are not just used in homes, but also in various workplaces.

[NEW] CMP-C - Stands for Consciousness, Memory, Personality Chip. It is a biochip inserted into the back of a person's neck when they are born that records and stores basic information on a person* (such as Name, Birth Date, Age), and their consciousness, memories, and personality. The CMP-C is also present inside an Aptroid in the same spot.

*The CMP-C also acts as an identity card of sorts. They get scanned to confirm one's identity in cases where it is needed.

i know i said i would add the CMP-C definition when i upload a new chapter but i dont have anything to post yet so i decided to update the archives!

[mqriuss]

okay a thought i've been having ever since you brought up that Ran died in the Cyberpunk AU + the fact that you can customize Aptroids in terms of looks and personality

is it possible/is it a trend for people to try and recreated their loved ones through Aptroid customization? some angst possibility with this, people being driven mad by the ghost of their loved ones and trying to replicate them in Aptroids but it's always just a little bit off. their quirks aren't the same, they don't smile in the same way. grief stricken people stuck in a cycle of chasing someone who no longer exists and the replacement is never good enough. but maybe they'll get it on the next try right?

I imagine if this were something that happened it'd be looked upon in either a sad light or looked upon badly, seeing them as people who lost their minds and couldn't cope with reality anymore

I don't think Rindou would be the type of fall into this hole though, considering how close he was to Ran, he already knew that no Aptroid could hope to replicate him + the way that Ran died already predisposed Rindou to dislike Aptroids (until Aptroid reader came along ofc)

(also makes me think about Koko in this AU and what part Inupi played... perhaps Inupi was someone Koko lost and his pursuit of money is to try and rebuild Inupi as an Aptroid? who knows though, there's millions of backstory reasons to give Koko in the Cyberpunk AU considering that needing money isn't a big surprise in this kind of city)

so sorry it took me a while to answer this 😞 but i wanted to post something to let u guys know im alive!

i do think that's possible but it probably doesn't become a huge trend because it's not that accessible. Companion Aptroids that can be customized are even more expensive lol and yeah i def agree Rindou wouldn't do that.

and i haven't given Koko much thought at all actually, he's just there as a side character. i thought to include him out of all characters cuz i liked the idea of him making all sorts of deals and becoming a well-known handler that can connect lancers to high profile clients, giving them higher paying jobs. it's so fitting for him haha but other than that, i never gave his lore much thought. but yeah maybe he lost inupi maybe he lost akane again maybe both, just anything that could give him a motive for being so money-obsessed in the first place cuz yes money is everything

[mqriuss]

haven't been writing anything cuz i'm busy and my ideas feel way too hard for me to execute and it's still all over the place

[mqriuss]

a short question: which arm did Rindou lose? Was it his right arm which has part of the tattoo that connects him to Ran or his left arm? and does his prosthetic look like a real arm or is it like a metal arm situation?

It's his left arm! It's a cybernetic arm so, yeah it's kind of a metal arm situation

For reference! I imagine it'd look something like these

[mqriuss]

ooo a bit of an angsty thought, Rindou takes on dangerous jobs all the time and probably has made some enemies. how would Rindou react/what would happen if Aptroid reader and Rindou were out and about one day and someone with a grudge against Rindou went to try and attack him, but Aptroid reader ran and took the hit for Rindou? Are the Aptroids durable enough that she’d be okay and Rindou would just take her to Renji for repairs or would there be a cause for concern? How would Rindou feel about someone he cares about getting hurt/possibly dying in front of him again (Ran flashbacks 💀) and him not being able to do anything?

Note: been meaning to answer this but i kept forgetting lmfao whoops

2nd Note: Ok i'm about to reveal something that i've been planning (though i won't reveal the whole thing just yet). I wanted introduce it in another chapter but oh well lmao i'll add the definition to the archives once that chapter is ready alright (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT BTW)

You know... this is gonna sound pretty terrible, but technically Aptroid reader taking the hit for him is a pretty wise move... LEMME EXPLAIN

Reader is not exactly durable, i can only imagine the latest labor and combat aptroid models getting more enhancements to withstand more damage. She's not human but she's not indestructible. Say she takes a hit, she would definitely have to be repaired. (Also i should note Renji would not know how to fix her but he and Koko would know who to go to for that).

And Rindou would absolutely panic if you did that. Once you're all repaired, he'd of course ask you how you feel and if you're alright, and then he'll go on and on about, "Just because you're an Aptroid that can be fixed, doesn't mean you go around taking the hit for me! It doesn't matter how much it costs to repair you—I just don't wanna see you like that! Do you know how worried I was? I could've dodged that, you know?" Like lol sorry bro but if you didn't manage to dodge in time, you would have "died."

Anyway 😁 although i did say Aptroid reader couldn't die from taking hits like that, she's not really immortal.

If you're familiar with cyberpunk media, you might know that the concept of biochips is quite common. In this universe, there's a biochip called the CMP-C. It stands for Consciousness, Memory & Personality Chip. It is located inside, at the base of the skull. If i had to mark its location from the outside, it should be right here, the nape:

(yes i'm using ran as an example, don't mind that)

Just like its name suggests, the chip stores one's consciousness, memories and personality. So as long as reader's chip is intact, she won't die. Once that thing is destroyed though, all traces of her are gone forever.

THAT'S ALL IM GONNA SAY FOR NOW

3rd note: i know it sounds a lot like the Cortical Stack in altered carbon but i havent completed that series and i'm only on the first episode so the placement of the CMP-C and the stack in altered carbon is pure coincidence. Furthermore, they don't look the same, but i'm still trying to figure out what the CMP-C would look like!

[mqriuss]

the way that i’m considering playing Cyberpunk or watching the anime in order to be able to come up with better asks/brain rots for this AU 🤧🧠

LMAO OK GUYS CONFESSION

I never finished cyberpunk edgerunners nor have i ever played Cyberpunk 2077 😱

I've only watched half of the first Altered Carbon episode, Blade Runner 2049 (a total of four times), Blade Runner (1982), three episodes(?) of Cyberpunk Edgerunners, half of Alita: Battle Angel, a little bit of Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay on youtube... and that's probably it HAHAHAH

And like i really do wish i could complete all of this in a day but i'm a busy gyal, i got assignments and a life outside of tumblr (do i really). But despite that, i'm still a really huge fan of the cyberpunk genre and i will definitely complete these one day. Maybe i'll even start playing cyberpunk 2077 soon but idk lol

All i do to get this much brainrot for my fic is spending hours on wiki fandoms and rewatching blade runner 2049 a million times (bc it's just soo good), breaking my head as i ramble to friends about my ideas, and asking them questions about where a chip would be located in the human body on a random tuesday 😋 and ofc ur asks really help me think of stuff so like that's always appreciated lmao
