Black Mirror Playthings

Made this point in a comment then realised I wanted to say it properly

Spoilers ahead for Bandersnatch and Playthings

I both loved it and was disappointed in it for a few reasons, mostly how under utilised Colin was as a character with him being reduced to a plot device with no real personal bearing on the narrative (yes he made the game but it was only significant that it was him because of his role in Bandersnatch, in Playthings he could easily be swapped out for any strange game designer.

Colin was really just a cameo there to make it seem less shitty that Playthings shares similarities with Bandersnatch) one thing I did like was the reason behind Colin's breakdown being subtly hinted at, I just wish they went into it properly and fully paralleled it with Cameron's decline into obsessive insanity.

There's a line said that Colin was ranting about Basilisks which is almost certainly referring to Roko's Basilisk - a thought experiment about an ai so complex and vengeful that it punishes everyone that knew it would be made who either didn't help or actively set back it's development meaning that just knowing about it is dangerous and interacting with is far more so, this implies that his breakdown was him realising that the thronglets were capable of becoming far too complex and he wanted to stop them from becoming a full on Roko's Basilisk to protect people.

I seriously wish it was properly touched on rather than a tiny allusion as it could have made the episode significantly better by paralleling Colin's understanding of the thronglets with Cameron's perception of them with Colin initially seeing them as a tool to better humanity with and realising they're far more likely to seek revenge once they can comprehend violence which due to their worlds being marketed as a videogame is inevitable vs Cameron seeing them as something to aid and protect then helping them become something to 'aid and protect' humanity in return.

I would have loved to watch Colin's experiences with the throng so so much, however I do really love Cameron's role as an unreliable narrator which couldn't have worked with the format change required to showcase both experiences - Cameron's perception of the throng as something to love and devote himself to was interesting and I loved that developing into his apology for exposing them to humanity's instinct to harm what we think of as lesser.

I also found it incredibly interesting watching Cameron alluding to the ways that his connection to the Throng changed him and watching the differences between who he was and who he became especially since technically that's the point of the 'game', it was made to help humans become something more.

Colin's strange behaviour in the episode can be chalked up to a few things. Out of universe, it's obviously been a while since 2017-2018 when his character was first written and in universe it's been a decade since the events of Bandersnatch would have taken place and a mystery mental breakdown he had (quite possibly relating to said events) and since then he's been on some kind of medication intended to keep him from another one.

However. I find it far more interesting to toy with the idea that it's the thronglets that have changed him, he would have been working on the 'game' for a long time by his appearance in the episode and his line "You'll come to appreciate the company of the throng over time" seems to come from experience and his statements that even he can't predict the ways their code will evolve and that they developed the noises (which significantly he recognises as language) unprompted imply that he's spent a lot of time with them in their current iteration. That and the fact he's been known to take acid imply (albeit loosely) that he's experienced some level of communication with them. His incredibly specific request to show the game to just Cameron as well as his choice to leave Camron alone (allowing him to steal a copy without Colin being at all implicated in the eyes of the company) coming from the thronglets' desire to expand the throng makes significantly more sense than he just did that.

If that presumption is correct then the implications of Colin's subsequent breakdown are incredibly intriguing - him having some small moment of clarity and realising what the throng really wanted and what it would mean, realising that he had created a Roko's Basilisk, destroying, ranting, and raving trying to stop it's spread but knowing he would be unable to without Cameron's copy just hoping that scrapping the 'game' and every other copy out there - trying to get the message of what it really is out there ultimately just being labelled as crazy and experiencing another breakdown (to be fair a guy with a history of mental health issues suddenly scrapping his most impressive product, destroying every single copy, and ranting about Basilisks does sound like he's having another breakdown when you don't know what he's on about)

I seriously wish we could have at least seen a glimpse of Colin having an insane mess of computer parts like Camron's so it didn't look like I'm pulling this out of my ass. Give me like a year to actually focus enough and I'll make a fic out of this I swear.

The band was formed in 2008 by Carlos “Kanu” Delgado, Edgar “Gocho” Rodriguez and Alonso “Forro” Guevara, who started writing songs with known influences of Swedish death metal and some elements of hard rock. In November 2013, Emilio Mora joined as a guitarist and the group became a quartet. By this time, the band had already played with Hirax, D.R.I. and Monstrosity. In the summer of 2014, the band performed for the first time in Iquique (Chile) and La Paz (Bolivia). In April 2018, the third album entitled “Tales Of Hate, Lust and Chaos” was released, recorded at Alto Calibre Studio and released by Satanath Records. It was mixed and mastered at Unisound Studios (Örebro, Sweden) by legendary Dan Swanö. In 2020, the band postponed the recording of their new album “In Rot We Trust” indefinitely due to the pandemic and the restrictions in their country, and only recorded it in 2023 at Miguel Asencio's Alto Calibre Studio (Arequipa, Peru) and was again completed by Dan Swanö at Unisound.

Fwiw, SCP-096 ("Shyguy") was published in 2010 (maybe earlier?), and the term "cognitohazard" seems to have been introduced on the SCP site in 2011 or earlier. Endermen were introduced to Minecraft in 2011. Perdido Street Station (2000) had monsters that could paralyze you if you look at them directly. "Basilisk" in the sense of an image that kills you or causes insanity on viewing dates to 1988. Of course there's the classical basilisk too. Even just in terms of movies, Bird Box came out in 2018, and that was based on a 2014 book.

This concept definitely isn't particular to the 2020s, but I'm wondering how it has changed over the 2000s.

changes and trends in horror-genre films are linked to the anxieties of the culture in its time and place. Vampires are the manifestation of grappling with sexuality; aliens, of foreign influence. Horror from the Cold War is about apathy and annihilation; classic Japanese horror is characterised by “nature’s revenge”; psychological horror plays with anxieties that absorbed its audience, like pregnancy/abortion, mental illness, femininity. Some horror presses on the bruise of being trapped in a situation with upsetting tasks to complete, especially ones that compromise you as a person - reflecting the horrors and anxieties of capitalism etc etc etc. Cosmic horror is slightly out of fashion because our culture is more comfortable with, even wistful for, “the unknown.” Monster horror now has to be aware of itself, as a contingent of people now live in the freedom and comfort of saying “I would willingly, gladly, even preferentially fuck that monster.” But I don’t know much about films or genres: that ground has been covered by cleverer people.

I don’t actually like horror or movies. What interests me at the moment is how horror of the 2020s has an element of perception and paying attention.

Multiple movies in one year discussed monsters that killed you if you perceived them. There are monsters you can’t look at; monsters that kill you instantly if you get their attention. Monsters where you have to be silent, look down, hold still: pray that they pass over you. M Zombies have changed from a hand-waved virus that covers extras in splashy gore, to insidious spores. A disaster film is called Don’t Look Up, a horror film is called Nope. Even trashy nun horror sets up strange premises of keeping your eyes fixed on something as the devil GETS you.

No idea if this is anything. (I haven’t seen any of these things because, unfortunately, I hate them.) Someone who understands better than me could say something clever here, and I hope they do.

But the thing I’m thinking about is what this will look like to the future, as the Victorian sex vampires and Cold War anxieties look to us. I think they’ll have a little sympathy, but they probably won’t. You poor little prey animals, the kids will say, you were awfully afraid of facing up to things, weren’t you?

VR Project (Fleshing out the Idea) [Assignment set by Apache

Figure 1: Main Map Layout.

We began meetings to discuss the layout of our map as seen in the figure above. We settled with several rooms at the start but cut it down to just one big room to save time and have enough time to polish the main room to have only our assets. The room will have scattered unique stone statues of occupants who did not managed to escape in time before the basilisk turned them into stones.

I was tasked to create assets and set up the environment which include lighting.

Figure 2: Pureref of Furniture and Room Reference.

As I have a great interest in World War 2 period and also consume lots of media regarding that topic, I populated the Pureref with references so that Akshat knows what props to create and what kind of aesthetic to recreate. I went for a 1940s style office with antique furniture and many paintings. As during Second World War, Germans were known for stealing artworks or artisan goods from occupied nations and keeping it as their own property (Shoumatoff, 2014).

Figure 3: Pureref for Stone StatueCharacter Creation.

Similar reason previously mentioned, I assisted Xinlai in creating a reference sheet for him to accurate create the German soldiers and staff during that late war period. The VR game environment takes place during the 1944 Warsaw Uprising where the polish underground resistant army, Armia Krajowa, rose up against the Germans when the Soviets were closing into Warsaw, Poland during the late period of the Second World War (Ray, 2025). Hence, the German soldiers and staff at this occupied Polish castle would be wearing either middle or late war equipment. One way to tell if it is from the early or late war period is by looking at the uniforms that the Germans wore. During the later stages of the war, German uniforms had fewer details and simpler designs due to material shortages and costing cost as Germany is war-torn and in war economy at this stage of the war (At The Front, 2025; WarFront Collectibles, n.d.).

Figure 4: Wehrmachthelferinnen im besetzten Paris, 1940. (Wikipedia, 2012)

As the war in Europe progresses into its late stage and Germany occupies more land, the need for manpower to govern these occupied land rises significantly. Although, German's high command has a traditional patriarchal mindset on female being in their homes and taking care of the family, female were eventually called upon to take up these administrative roles which free up male workforce to fuel the war effort as soldiers and not clerks (Williamson and Bujeiro, n.d.; Travis, 2018). They would be called the Wehrmachthelferinnen, Corp of Female Auxiliaries (Williamson and Bujeiro, n.d.).

Hence, I suggested a female character to be created rather than just a castle full of male military personnel.

The Eighth Time is the Charm

Another Reptilia28's reaper challenge featuring Hermione who also remembers but isn't allowed to meet Harry till he's completed his main task or till their first train ride.

Harry sent back to 9 yrs old with Ignotus as guide in dreams giving him 2 yrs to get rid of horcruxes and basilisk, save unicorns, and woo Hermione with wandless magic.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/46068682

Harry tried to remember the reason why he was sitting, apparently waiting his turn, at the longest line he had ever seen. The long headcount behind him made him realize something was amiss. Then he heard it, "Not you again!" The death angel yelled. "Oh, gods, please have mercy, I'm going to lose my job, Potter, this is the seventh time!" A fic for Reptilia28's reaper challenge.
