Colin The Computer from Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared is just a little guy!

[james-fun-in-the-sunderland]

yo whos samson. Im curious

this guy 👇 my motw ttrpg oc

used to be a software developer and a normal guy with a wife and kid but then they got possessed/replaced with a monster so he killed them and ran off. Now he tries to avoid any mention or memory of the event of killing them and instead spends his time on reddit, 4chan, mmos, fixing up his computers, adding to his battlestation, sitting out in the louisiana sun, wishing he had a dog, working at a nearby gas station, having gay thoughts, etc etc.

more detailed info will eventually b on my toyhouse, but his artfight page is probably the most in depth rn

[deathchipz]

a new year AND a new millennium is upon us... :o] click under the cut for a clearer version of what vosim is saying (and some notes from me), as my his cursive is kinda shit lol

[vosim jink belongs to @hebezunet!!]

today, friday the 31st of december, is the last day of the 1900s. i'm… feeling kinda hopeful about the 2000s! later, dee and i will be meeting up with everyone else to celebrate what's left of this year. YAY!!

dandy has not shut up about today, he keeps crying about the whole "y2k bug" thing. i don't think it'll happen. also, dandy… he's a MASSIVE noob when it comes to computers. why work in an office when you know nothing about them?? i don't keep up with this bug… SURELY something like that can't happen, right? computers are very smart, so they'll just… roll over to the year 2000 like normal, right? RIGHT?? surely they've put fixes out for this bug? again, i haven't kept up with this. (val's note: correct me if i am wrong with some of the whole y2k bug shit here!! i wasnt there to witness it, so i'm only kinda going off with research i did about it. i think vosim would see it as a kinda dumb thing, kinda confused to why everyone is panicking about it. "if this bug could 'end the world'... surely those tech guys, or, uh, whoever's responsible for all this computery stuff, would have it all fixed by now, right?? right???????")

anyways, dee and i worked on a time capsule (we'll open it in the 2020s) - a few weeks before that, i filmed myself asking questions to my future self. we buried our time capsule earlier, now the waiting game BEGINS.

MAY THE 2000s TREAT ME WELL!!! AND MAY IT TREAT DEE + EVERYONE ELSE WELL!!!!!!!!!

[dont-hug-me-its-yuri]

If I will ask question it will be abt thoughts on computer guy. I am legally not allowed to ask about anything else

Colin has definitely grown on me, I never hated him but when I first entered the fandom he just never really entered my brain as much as other characters

But I’m glad to say I’ve enjoyed his characters more every time I rewatch the show, I am interested in old technology and Colin is quite literally an old computer, so I really like his design especially the computer mice feet and colorful buttons

His personality is also fun, he’s a narcissist egotistical outdated little computery guy who overplays his smarts and probably has some form of anger issues, he’s really fun and I quite enjoy him :3

[spamtons]

bestie what do u think abt him

i think he's a computer. a computery guy ?

oop sorry. its the . Computer song . with the guy. that is my blog them . he's a computery guy yknow

[beast-feast]

Guys I think he's a computer 😳😂

[thecultofmalcom]

So. Its out. This is obviously pretty awesome sauce (sorry not sorry jas) and like.

wow.

so it started, middle/late 2011, almost 12 years ago. Some silly little university kids making a stupid horror puppet show. Becky Sloan and Joseph Pelling, creating Dont Hug Me Im Scared. What a way to start of the 2010s huh.

After a series of short videos, created for the Kickstarter, the sequel was created. Tony The Talking Clock was he spectacle of 2014 tumblr, eventually winning the most coveted title a fictional outcast could probably get, ‘Tumblr Sexyman.’ The fandom at this time was WILD, with the whole IceHell genre and the ‘Paige x Tony’ fanatics. Not to mention that kids react video.

At this same year, my personal skrunkle scrimblo came around. The Love Cult was introduced by the ringleader Shrignold, worshipping a stone who they fed gravel. Nobody knows why or how the living FUCK they managed to start a cult like this, but here we go. This was the first time the gang was seen outside, and this circled around Yellow Guy (whos a pig??)

Along comes 2015, introducing the absolute LEGEND, COLIN. THE. COMPUTER. Legend in the making, stupid self absorbed fucktwat, and the computery guy!! Also, the outro was a bop. By now, the DHMIS community had grown a fanbase, the watch count of the series so far over 3 Million!!1!

AND NOW. THIS IS WHEN SHIT GETS REAL!!

dhmis five. the talking point of every internet kids trauma. This episode was about being helfy!,2 Joined by the silly goofy Healthy Band, duck guy and yellow (red guy, whered he go?) learned all about why you shouldnt eat food from a strangers plate!! What made DHMIS special was its unsettling gore, which was shown perfectly in the scene where duck gets his. organs took out! graphically! Awesome!

then the finale came. dhmis 6, 2016, 6. years ago now. 6 whole years. introducing the harsh reality of the real world, the absoloute CHAD which we call Larry, Lars, Larson, Lamp Guy, THE LAMP1!11 Teaching (drunk, on drugs, sleep deprived, who knows?) yellow guy all about the wonderful dreams you can have, including eating a drink, buying a hat, losing your friends and drowning in oil of course! This episode was what made this whole puppet show a real nightmare. skrunkle yellow guy gets (unfortunately) mind-tortured by all the teachers, including the saxaphone. still really wanna know how to buy a canoe. At the end, we finally found out who was the brains behind all of this, none other than yellow guys DAD himself, ROY. This is why, perhaps, this whole fever dream nightmare was based around June 19th Fathers day. This is what, we all though, the end was. 5 years of youtube wonder, Becky Joe and Baker created a phenomenon that shocked the internet in perhaps a million different ways. But the positive feedback was overwhelming, woohoo!

By now, the improvement was MASSIVE. as shown below :

And now. This is when we all thought it was over. Until 2 years later, in 2018, all hope was lost. Until those 2 words,

WAKEY WAKEY!!

this was a 30 second short trailer for the DHMIS Pilot, showing at the 2019 Sundance film festival!

This is where it gets a bit weird, because not only is the original Wakey Wakey deleted, the full thing was never shown anywhere else. the only surviving footage of this was the bad quality pirated videos , with those 2 girls laughing thunderously in the background. A new sexyman, MEAN STEVE (🤤, sorry not sorry) WAS INTRODUCED! WE ALL WANNA SEE HIM IN HIS FULL METAL STICK GLORY! But nah we didnt get that. We didnt get a show, which we all because suspicious of.

well. thats what we thought.

2020. the year of the corona. no hope, isolation. until a lovely woman named Becky Sloan posted a lil thing on her instagram. ‘Were making a tv shooowwww! 📺👀📺👀📺👀📺👀’ AND THIS IS WHERE IT GOT WILDER AWESOMER EPICER!!! WE WAITED AND WE WAITED AND WE FINALLY GOT SOME CONFIRMATION! THIS WAS AWESOME! it got picked up by a charity project by the name of BFI YAC,, hoping to pick up on small industries work! AND IT DID!

time went by, still no show. we all thought it was over, cancelled, whatever.

2021 ROLLS PAST.

FILMING WAS WRAPPED! IN THE TIME WE WERE ALL GRIEVING AT THE THOUGHTS OF NO TV SHOW, THEY WERE WORKING ON IT THE WHOLE TIMEEE!!

‘WAKEY WAKEY’ as the fandom called it at the time, was coming!

now we wait. until FEB 25 2022. They finished the final sound recording. It was all done, we were all waiting for that special day, June 19th

, Fathers day. , 3 months ago.

and what did we get?

FLY.

THE TRAILER FOR THE NEW SHOW, PREMIERING CHANNEL 4 IN SEPTEMBER!! OH !EM GEE!

Now, we were all anticipating for the new series, we waited EXTREMELY PATIENTLY for this, 4-5 years no less. Honestly we shoulda won an award for the most patient fandom at this point.

SEPTEMBER 2022!

WE GOTTA GET THINGS READY FOR THS BIG DAY! BIG DAY! THE TRAILER WAS OUT! COMING SEPTEMBER 13TH!

but then, disaster struck! ohh no!

HRH Queen Elizabeth fell ill and kicked the bucket. Obviously , this meant not only is the country in ruins now lol! (fuck liz truss basically) But the show (we thought) was in jeopardy! (not really) The 10 days of mourning began, and the All 4 Website announced that the show would be slightly delayed, but coming this month.

THIS MONTH! NOW! FRIDAY 23RD, 2022. THE BIG DAY HAS ARRIVED! 6 SHINING BRAND NEW EPISODES, PREPARED FOR THE BIG TV DEBUT FRIDAY 30TH SEPTEMBER!

THE IMPROVEMENT, BY NOW WAS STUNNING AWESOME EPIC!! LOOKLOOKLOOK!

this new series, which is 1 day old!! fresh new awesome! is AMAZING! 3 WHOLE HOURS FULL OF OUR FAVE TRAFFIC LIGHT TRIO!

(Yes. we know, you still find red guy sexy.)

(AND COLIN. AND THE LAMP. AND A BIT OF TONY TOO!)

JUST THREE OF THEM! CLAYHILL HAD, UNFORTUNATELY, SHRIVELLED UP OR SOMETHING! (I RECKON)

this was obviously a sign that Wakey Wakey is now Lost Media. But we got this! all thanks to that one silly dumb stupid epic 3 minute long short on youtube, made by 2 people, in their free time, DONT HUG ME IM SCARED!

This post is basically, appreciation for Becky Joe and Baker, and the fandom, and everyone who helped in the making of this phenomenon!

Along the way, we’ve encountered our askblogs, most notably @sketchbook-and-tony-adventures !! And the awesome, probably most noted artists of DHMIS tumblr, the epic awesome amazing @amii-stuff @frootrollup? whats the username again? @hecklefreckled & @bernold ! Obviously more as well but i honestly dont remember the usernames :/ And our epic news sharer @creative-time !! Thanks you guys! And some awesome others, like @creechurfoundincheckerboardvoid @dhmispaint and the bezzie mate @xzumichannn !! Woohoo! Thank you guys so much, without this crazy massive fandom, we probably wouldnt have even got this far, crazy right!

So far, the best moments of this 2011-2022 era for me have been

- ‘Where are all you nasty clockfuckers! did you finally fuck that clock?’

- Sketch has a small face

- LisWeegee Adventures In Lurning dubs

- Whoever the heck that spanish dhmis gacha person is!

- That one ‘No bitches’ meme with shrignold :

- My amazing askblog i could never be bothered to do!

- Whoever that tiktok guy is

- “FREELANCERS DESERVE TO DIE!”

- Money Man. Deserves to be a sexyman fr!

- “BYE GUYS! I LOVE YOU!”

- Hearing the first few seconds of the first episode intro. those bells man. something, a feeling im never gonna feel again. ever. something i could experience only once.

The only bad thing. LAMPS SOBERED UP?? WHERED THE DRUGGIE INSOMNIAC VOICE GO?

Anyways. I love yall your all awesome, were finally trending on tumblr again, and we all have worms in our brain!

What have we got to look forward to now?

- DELTARUNE NEW CHAPTERS, 2023? The finale will probably be ready for 2027…

thats literally it. sorry. Hazbin Hotels coming to tv? i guess? lol.

this is obviously a national highlight of 2022 🥱 well no. Its internationally an internet milestone. duh!

LONG LIVE DHMIS!!

I would like to hear your thoughts on Gooigi!

YEAAHHHHHHH here's a quick headcanon timeline to explain my interpretation of him!

when he's first created gooigi is basically just a gooey computer. he responds to inputs, follows instructions to the best of his ability, and can learn from experience over time, but he doesn't do much of anything on his own. his basic directives are just 'catch ghosts' and 'imitate luigi.' the latter is a leftover from when gadd was teaching him how to do the former, but it ends up having significant consequences later

once luigi's mansion 3 rolls around that secondary directive kicks back in and things start to get real funky. gooigi keeps trying to copy how luigi acts, but since he's seeing more than just disjointed video clips he's very confused by some of luigi's behaviour, like the loud noises he makes when something unexpected happens or the way he shakes for no visible reason even when there are no ghosts around or how sometimes he'll sit down and grab his hat and make unusual sounds and produce water with his face for a few minutes. over the course of their adventure together, gooigi's attempts to mimic luigi and understand the purpose of his confusing actions start to evolve into his own emotions and self-awareness

it takes a while for gadd to realise that gooigi is responding to stimuli emotionally, but he's very encouraging of it when he finds out, hoping that if he encourages gooigi's ability to think for himself then he'll be able to upgrade from ghost catching tool to fully-fledged research assistant. a little experimentation and many picture books about feelings later, gooigi is feeling and expressing genuine emotions and has expanded his thought process beyond ghostbusting. by this point gooigi is pretty unambiguously sentient, although due to his lack of experience in everything that isn't ghost research he's functionally a perpetually confused toddler

i was going back and forth on whether or not gooigi is self-aware for a while, but i've pretty firmly settled on this interpretation now! i love the idea of him just being a gooey baby it's super cute. with that said i have SO many thoughts on how he'd develop as an individual guy beyond that so here are some of those

with his directive to imitate luigi downgraded to a suggestion, gooigi actually ends up pretty different from luigi once his personality solidifies! they have some traits in common, like their bravery and kindheartedness, but gooigi is a little more outgoing and a lot more curious. he's still got that computery logic running underneath all the quirky personality, and he's extremely driven to understand how things work and why they happen. naturally, this makes him a pretty good scientist, and he really loves working alongside gadd and doing experiments

he's happy looking like luigi, but over time he starts to experiment a little with his appearance - an accessory here, an ill-fated attempt to tie his hair up there. clothes restrict his movement too much to be practical, but he loves to accessorise with smaller things like scarves and hats and bracelets! i also like the idea of him and gadd modifying his bioelectrical signal at some point to give him a somewhat more distinct look, get a nice new outfit and a cute haircut on this boy

he picks up the human need for stimulation and attention and affection really quickly. this combined with his childlike emotional mentality and physical undersensitivity results in him being SUPER clingy, and it takes a while for him to fully grasp the concept of boundaries. eventually he figures out when it is or isn't polite to try to initiate a cuddle, but he'll never ever turn down a hug

gooigi absolutely ADORES luigi, and although he's not trying to be a carbon copy anymore he still looks up to him and particularly craves his affection and validation. luigi is understandably surprised to learn that his goo clone has achieved self awareness and entered baby mode, but he warms up to gooigi fast and is seeing him as family in no time. sometimes he'll take care of his little goopy bro for a few days so he can experience the world and people outside the lab, and gooigi loves spending time with his brother more than almost anything

while he eventually learns to manage it better, he's very easily overwhelmed, especially by unfamiliar situations or intense emotions. if he's badly overloaded, he tends to outwardly shut down into the near-catatonic unresponsive state he started out in until he's had enough time to calm down and catch his thoughts up with reality again

he's still only minimally expressive, he physically can't move his face a whole lot, but gooigi is rarely if ever dishonest about his feelings. he compensates for his limited ability to emote with very deliberate and telegraphed body language, and regardless of whether anyone is listening he tends to repeat how he's feeling to himself - you'll hear a constant loop of 'happy happy happy happy' if something's put him in a good mood, or he'll repeat 'sad sad sad sad' over and over in place of crying

like in canon, he has poor fine motor skills and not much physical strength due to being literal slime, making basic tasks like opening doors or picking things up disproportionately difficult. he has some ways to counteract these problems; he often uses the poltergust to pick up things too heavy for him to hold, and both gadd and luigi have taken steps to make sure he can move around his usual living spaces without constant assistance [gadd by installing some fancy science doors that activate with a motion sensor or a handprint, luigi by just making sure to leave all the inside doors open when gooigi is visiting]. he still needs to ask for help or accept that he can't do certain things a lot, to varying degrees of either acceptance or frustration

although he understands spoken language perfectly fine, actually talking is a massive challenge for gooigi. his lack of a proper voice box means he can't swap between sounds fast enough to string together syllables the way speech usually works, so his vocabulary is very limited and hard for him to add to. if he has to verbally communicate, he can somewhat get around this by stripping the sentence in his head down to just the key words he can pronounce and using body language and context clues to help, but he usually prefers to write down what he wants to say. gadd taught him how pretty early on, and he finds it less frustrating than trying to play charades every time he has something to talk about. he eventually makes a point of always having a notepad and pen on him so that he can communicate reliably

when he was first learning to read and write he exchanged a lot of letters with luigi to practice! they still write to each other frequently, it's good for gooigi to have some regular contact with the outside world and they both really love hearing from each other

if you'll excuse a messy microsoft paint scribble, here's how i tend to draw 'older' gooigi!

this is still barely scratching the surface of my gooigi headcanons, but this post is way too long already lmao so i think this is a good starter pack of thoughts! i genuinely love this funky little scoop of goop so much he is my best friend and i want everything good in the world to happen to him
