#fresh 2.0

[neon--nightmare]

I've been looking back at your rambles about Fresh again and I wanted to ask for if you have any thoughts about 2.0 and esp about the like, if the threat of potential replacement was real even if 2.0 didn't understand how it worked- because I don't think that realistically "we" the people watching would replace Fresh for having feelings, but I do sometimes wonder if maybe you could interpret future versions of Fresh as... Who knows, maybe 2.0 DID win. Maybe even he was replaced eventually too

OHHH ANON I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS ON THIS I HAVE TO CHOP MY REPLY UP INTO TWO POSTS. YOUR BRAIN IS MASSIVE (ALSO AAHH IT MEANS THE WORLD TO ME THAT PPL LIKE MY ANALYSIS!!! i love these goobers and their dynamic i need to share them with the world <3)

dude something so genuinely. interestin to me about the idea of 2.0 replacing fresh? nobody else in the multiverse would ever know. he acts the same, looks the same, talks the same, and since he was watchin 1.0 the whole time with the higher ups? he could easily fake having all of fresh’s memories without even breakin a sweat!

it’s never been specified if any other outcodes know about fresh’s whole thing, whether the higher-ups and general ‘creators’ are different in the context of the story or if it’s all just us, and since fresh keeps every single thing, every single ‘vulnerability’ and all facts abt his life that aren’t SICKNASTY COOL RADICAL SWAGGY!!! insanely close to his chest (except for one scenario we know of, pacifrisk + possibly some of those at loveball i don’t have the full logs </3) (p.s. 2.0 called pacifrisk 1.0’s sibling in a mocking way AND IT MAKES ME WAUH :( they were like siblings,,) nobody would just. ever know, unless 2.0 told them directly.

bc 2.0 is such a good actor, it’d take someone intimately familiar and close with 1.0 to spot any of the minuscule differences or cracks in his facade that couldn’t just be chalked up to.. fresh bein fresh, unpredictable and WACKY and weird and ever-changing (tho he’s actually way more predictable than he thinks, when emotions aren’t involved) and that thought makes me CRAZY.

1.0’s worst fears coming true and he takes it all to his grave to be replaced by one of only ones he could truly hate with his limited emotions, a copy of himself. and so the snake eats its own tail and the cycle continues, repeating on and on and on, fresh 3.0, fresh 4.0, the same song and dance of fixing the mistakes of the last before succumbing, messing up in one way or another. 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, the metaphorical blood of their predecessors marking every step they take, forced to follow the steps to the letter. be more brutal, more funny, corrupt worlds faster and faster, never, ever stop to rest, or you’ll end up like those before you, waiting for the next wearing your face and name. knowing the limits more than anyone, their gods demanding perfection, no more, no less.

until the last higher-ups get bored, or decide to move onto something, someone new. no peace, no ‘justice,’ no mercy. and so it goes, and so it goes.

anyways since fresh 1.0 has 1990s furbies fresh 2.0 should have a 2006 purple funky furby he takes everywhere especially since the funky furby has a semi similar level of ridiculous rarity that fresh 1.0’s signature kid cuisine furby has IN THIS ESSAY,

(fresh 2.0 2005 furby manifesto under the cut! I'M DOIN IT!! and then it got very sad for him because i got carried away AGAIN uh oh,)

look at this little guy this is 2.0 all over!!!

also the 2005 furbies being made to replace the 1990s furbies once their sales were waning and keep up on current trends (specifically furreal friends at the time!) only to be discontinued and scrapped only a year or two into production.. and most people nowadays remember and love the first though technically less 'advanced' version of the furbies. while 2005s tend to be overlooked by the public at large as just a cliffnote. the metaphors write themselves bro!!!

they're also generally a lot more fragile (mostly based on my little black and white fellow from personal experience) than the original older furbies! their beaks are covered with rubber that degrades and rips very easily over time vs the original yellow plastic beaks, and they can move and stomp their feet vs the nonmoving fabric paws but those also have a tendency to break off! my 2005 boy is missin one of his feet and his beak rubber is gone but i love him..... his name is gizmo (because i was obsessed with both furbies and Gremlins (1984) as a kid) but ANYWAYS,

THE IDEA OF 2.0 actually breakin way more quickly than fresh 1.0 is smth i literally didn't think about until right this second but oh my god that's so compelling to me. idea - he thought he was better, immune to making the same mistakes, tying his self-worth to being BETTER than his predecessor - but when he crashes hard, he absolutely panics. he knows what he has to do, he knows he has to fix himself as fast as possible, he knows his deadline is coming soon and he's going to meet the same fate as the version of himself he gleefully replaced.

but his anxiety and frantic tries to prove he's still useful only make the fact that he's falling apart all the more obvious!! while he tries to push himself harder and harder! while in the weird limbo of refusing to admit to himself how bad his emotions and emotional spiral is becoming, because acknowledging it would open the floodgates and he'd break down completely - plus, look at what happened to 1.0 when he admitted his weakness! but on the other hand, he's struggling for his life to keep going on as if everything is fine in the face of absolute overwhelming terror, sadness felt for the first time, misery, unable to concentrate as his mind is rebelling against him, slipping up and tripping over his words as he tries to put up the image of the perfect parasite he was made to be.

look, see, he's trying! he's fixing it, he's going to make it better! just give him a little more time, please, just a little longer! he can fix it, he can fix himself, he's different, he can fix all the problems he's caused, he just needs a little more time.

should he run? can he ever escape from his creators, those fickle things practically his gods? where in the multiverse can he go that he wouldn't find himself? who would take him in? 2.0 cries for the first time, that day, and it sinks in that there's truly no going back.

some nights, jolting awake, chest heaving, 2.0 swears he can hear the echos of 1.0 laughing at him. fresh was right, after all. 2.0 really wasn't any better than him.

(Happy B!!) (Later) Fresh !!!!

I don't see people talking about Fresh 2.0 and it drives me crazy

[randomstar202]

I did it!

When I made this au forever ago, I compared Dippy and Bella to a piece of Relativity Falls fanart! And now, I have redrawn it with my characters! My vision has come to life!!! Mwahahahahahahaha!!!!

The trailer for The Apprentice is out. Are we pretending like it doesn’t exist?😭

I am. So I thought about why I will not be watching this and why it's aggravating me.

It's the timing of the release. Even if I ignore everything else, which I won't, I can't get over it being released in October.

I know it was delayed because of a lawsuit and trouble finding a distributor but regardless of that, imo it's very distasteful to release it right before the election. I would be more lenient if it came out a year ago or several months after the election. But not a few weeks before.

The rest of why I won't be supporting this is came down to a few points. Mini rant below the cut.

The fact that I'm forced to see trump or trump-related news every single day. Every. Single. Day.

Between the fliers, unsolicited texts, ads, and the news, it's hard to go a day without hearing about this pos. (And I'm going to watch the debate tonight but that's more for Kamala than anything else).

->So there's no way in hell that I'm going spend my money to watch even more of him. Nothing about that seems appealing to me.

Not to mention that this whole election cycle has been stressful and irritating and I'm so tired of him. The fact that he keeps getting away with committing crimes (including actual treason) enrages me. The fact that he said that if he gets re-elected, we won't have to worry about voting again scares me. Project 25, the fact that his supreme court justices are going to be fucking things for a long, long time and if he's in office again, he's going to have even more influence over the courts.

->I go to the movies to get away from reality and to enjoy myself. This movie does not fit the bill for me and there are way too many other options in October for me to suffer through this.

And the most important point is that I already know too much about him. I know about his past, all of his racist acts, etc because it's been forced down our throats for years. I know how he treats his wives, his kids, employees and just about everyone else who isn't a rich white man or one of his minions.

->If I'm watching a biopic about someone, it's because it's entertaining or informative. I've seen several biopics about horrible people but I watched them because they were either informative and interesting. Nothing about this dumpster fire is interesting or entertaining to me.

It's certainly not going to tell me anything I already don't know.

As much as I like Seb, I am not the type to blindly support everything he does. I know he's going to act his ass off as he usually does but this is going to be a no for me. I'll wait for that gangster x single mother movie with Lily and Thunderbolts.

(Also I am not looking forward to all the seb!trump fics that are going to be written.

Or the ones that are going to be labeled president!bucky with an a/n claiming "it's not based on trump" but they just so happen to use a gif/pic from this movie.

And definitely not the looking forward to all girlies lusting after this look which high key means they're lusting after some version of trump.)

Sans Fight Night - Round 2

Fight location: an empty AU. Think classic undertale, but completely empty. There's no one around, and our contestants can go ham without any consequences

Contestant 13: Asy

Strengths: can use magic, higher energy level than a standard Sans, speed, teleportation, and his outward childlike demeanor could be disarming for certain opponents (in other words: it'd be easier to underestimate him)

Weaknesses: mentally and emotionally unstable, has trouble stopping once he gets started, goes into a frenzy if Papyrus is mentioned (the frenzy could be good OR bad depending on the circumstances), likely doesn't take many things seriously or is easily spooked

Contestant 14: Fresh!Ink

Strengths: speed and teleportation, portal creation, can sort of conjure up physical items during fights to use as a weapon, has no emotions and therefore has 0 risk of losing control of them, great at being a distraction, if he (the parasite) is knocked out of/removed from the host body, you're still stuck fighting regular Ink, can fight at pretty much any distance but likes being close, highly unpredictable and impossible to read, can still use skeleton magic

Weaknesses: forgetful and easily distracted, has next to no self preservation, doesn't take many things seriously

We aren't gonna talk abt what happened to Elvis 2.0 (straight up forgot I had that going). It's Elvis 2.1 now

it’s 7 am and i shouldn’t be awake but funniest possible idea to differentiate fresh and fresh 2.0 designs: 2.0 is identical to fresh in every way except he wears a cowboy hat like this

The Bella Quiz!!!

I have an au where Dippy Fresh survives the destruction of Mabeland and gets an actual personality. In this au, he has a twin sister Bella who is a clone of Mabel who is a hypergenius and acts like Ford. I can’t decide on her hair, so I’m making a poll!

Here are pictures for reference:

Potential controversial opinion, but I really hope there's another try at a platonic take on Phantom of the Opera at some point; 1943 laid some ground work on what that could look like, and the base idea of "Male benefactor obsessed with girl and becomes like a werid teacher to her and hates her male suitor," could very easily be applied to a familial relationship, even a sort of (I hate saying this term) emotional inc*st type of relationship (also, think those dads who are werid about their daughters and their relationships with boyfriends).

Even a sort of Boris Lermontov/Victoria Page/Julian Craster relationship I think would work excellently; pitting Christine against the success she could have, and the man see loves.

found the novel spoilers thread for Streamer Villainess today, and honestly, I'm very disappointed. I hope the manwha adaption follows a different path, but I doubt it'll be significantly different. the concept was so very interesting, and the manwha really has me hooked, but based on the novel spoilers, the story is ultimately the same old, same old, not even in a fun way, and I've almost entirely lost interest.
