In which Ford struggles so badly to relate to other people that he wonders if he’s really human at all. The more isolated he becomes, the harder it is to reconcile with his own humanity.

Oc ified them bc @joltning’s post was making me think about how I’d do that. (cheating a bit bc I already had Tanner and Fractal already designed for rps but Jason is newer, still based on rp/story stuff with @valveorangebox)

some loose notes!

They’re mostly the same personality wise, Tanner is less sneaky than Felix and a bit less hinged, Fractal is less reserved than Locus but still “the quiet one”, Jason is more divorced than Wu. (still heterosexual 😔)

actual designs are based on gold colors, also some math concepts. Fractal was named off of the idea that fractals are infinitely introspecting, it has a similar vibe to locus of control, though fractal kind of embraces the idea you can’t control anything, just account for patterns. He’s into worms and philosophy. I haven’t decided if he took his own eye out or if something happened to him.

Tanner is named after tangents, I was specifically thinking about this example I saw about how tangents are used to calculate how far to building an awning to keep the sun from hitting the windows behind it. I also wanted to lean more into the cop thing/knight facade Felix has. He’s less of a knife guy.

Arc is just connecting two points (aka the other two morons). Only realized after writing this that Jason is one letter off of Mason. Its to reference Jason and the argonauts not just random. I imagine him being even more sappy than Wu, he has some lofty ideas of being able to be normal if he just gets far enough making money doing merc stuff. Visually based on fencers and diving suits, I think he tends to be their stealth guy, sort of a “get in from an angle they don’t expect” thing.

I resisted buying many many pretty things at ulta tonight

I only bought 3 things! And under $30 too. Considering I'd had like... $60 worth in my hand at one point I did a good job putting things back

ctwc 2024 is this weekend!

the two agreed favorites to win the whole tournament would probably have to be alex and fractal - alex has been on fire these last few months, and fractal will look to be defending his world championship title after a ridiculous streak of wins at the start of the year!

sidnev and blue scuti are perhaps the next most likely contenders for the title! blue scuti got 3rd at the world championships last year and has since become a cultural phenomenon - and as for sidnev, she'll want to improve on her 2nd place from 2023 and win the whole thing!

but even in this new era of tetris, we can't count out the artiaga brothers... since 2020, at least one of them have made the top four, and it's usually been both of them! could andy win his first world championship, or could dog become the first and only person to win the title with two different playstyles?

with how good tetris players are getting in 2024, though, someone unexpected could always come out of nowhere and pull off an incredible bracket run! noah, myles, danv, rahmations, huff - all of these players are regulars to the top level and have potential to cause some chaos for the favorites! or maybe even... someone else???

the classic tetris world championships are taking place june 7th to june 9th, and all the action will be livestreamed on the ClassicTetris twitch page! be sure to check it out this weekend
