wanted to talk ab this little detail in this scene that i find Sad

ragatha’s first instinct here was to panic and brace herself for some kind of verbal backlash because of the outburst earlier. pomni didn’t even sound mad or irritated in her delivery, but ragatha’s expression still 100% reads “she must be upset with me for yelling”

whoever said that her feigned optimism is a fawn response instead of toxic positivity hit the nail Right on the head i think.

her mom must have been pretty awful

Yep

Okay seriously. Reblog if you're OLDER than 11.

Some tumblr conversations are fascinating because they really are like

"My job gave us these expensive trinkets that nobody wanted. All of us wish that they would've given us the money instead."

"I don't get it?? did you want some different trinket?"

"I think it was explicitly clear in the OP that they would have wanted the money that the company spent on the trinkets, not a trinket."

"But why? :0"

"Money can be exchanged for goods and services."

"Waow I didn't know that!! :0 reblogging to raise awareness!"

Hey yall!

To my surprise, I haven’t seen many people talk about this scene.

Moment when Jax suddenly becomes a vegan during the adventure.

Which is strange, considering that - ever since the pilot we’ve known from Kane that:

“One of the few things I don't have control over are your minds.”

After digging into it a bit (since Kane is an AI, and I’m definitely not an expert in that field), I think I’ve found a way to explain it.

So, Zooble says:

Does this mean that participants (not just Zooble, but anyone) can alter each other’s mental states?

Yes, BUT - only within the adventure structure.

Here’s how it works

An “adventure” is a controlled simulation that includes:

• Structure,

• Narrative frame,

• Reset resolution,

• And the ability to install temporary “perception rules”.

When a character (like Zooble) says:

“Let’s make Jax a vegan for the rest of the day.”

they’re basically assigning a variable:

Jax.isVegan = true (while adventure_active)

That variable doesn’t just change behavior

It overwrites part of Jax’s mental structure. So deeply, in fact, that he doesn’t even realize it’s happening.

(Which explains why he freaks out a bit when he notices it.)

When the adventure ends, all temporary mental modifications are rolled back.

Honestly… this creeps me out a little. If this logic holds, you could (probably) write in any mental override for a character - as a joke, or not.

What do ya think?

What's this? 1000 people have read Welcome to Octopia!🥳

This is such a monumental occasion, as this is literally the first piece of fanfiction I have ever written, and to see that it's become this successful makes me unbelievably happy.

Writing the chapters, coming up with all the lore and worldbuilding, drawing the characters... it all brings me so much joy, and I know that this really is just the beginning - I have so many plans for the future of this fic and even beyond that!

So thank you all so much for giving this story a chance to thrive. The support I've gotten so far is indispensable and greatly appreciated - @nipotazzi especially, you've been with me since the start and you've made the story so much better, from your fabulous editing skills to your inventive ideas. From the bottom of my heart - thank you!

I'll also tag @tunaflippingbunkers, another awesome artist who is such an inspiration for me, both art-wise and worldbuilding-wise. Their Splatoon AU, Octo Order and Control, is seriously worth checking out! (And once again, thanks for the cameo in this ask blog post! It means a lot <3)

There's a couple of other people who have read my story and reached out to tell me how much they like it, but frankly I'm too scared to tag them all 😅 so just know that I appreciate everyone who has sent in an ask, or left a nice comment or anything like that! You guys know who you are 😉

I can't wait to continue this journey with you all!
