#idk how to tag this but it's just something i've been thinking about

[chickensoupbmc]

I've been seeing posts about the SQUIP "stimming and fidgeting" and whatnot, and at first I was like 😕☝️ no... it's an ai!! it doesn't stim!!!! but after actually watching it and seeing what people are referring to I can definitely see it 😭

I usually refrain from thinking of the SQUIP as too human, what with actual emotions and stuff like that, because I think it can lead to heavy mischaracterization and.... in some cases SQUIPemy… 😞 but after thinking about it a bit, like, I get it now!! and I think maybe as opposed to it being an actual self-regulatory thing for it, it's something it picked up from Jeremy and Christine? because obviously there wouldn't be any use to an ai in fidgeting with its hands or the strings on its outfit, BUT since "with every interaction it evolves" and since its main objective has to do with Jeremy and Christine, I can see how it would've picked it up from them

Either perhaps to seem more human, as it DOES try to do that, and the two main examples of humans it had were Jerm and Christine. or unconsciously just due to the fact it was what it was surrounded with. I think it makes sense as well because of the fact that it DOESNT seem to do anything like that when it's first activated. (at least from what | can tell).

Of course, with the SQUIP having told Jeremy NOT to fidget and whatever else in Be More Chill pt 1, it doesn't exactly make sense that it would be something it itself would be okay with adopting as a mannerism

But I do think thinking about it this way makes more sense to me and I think the SQUIP is kinda cutie /😈when it does its thing idk

(is there a tone tag for evil? /😈 is the best i’ve got 😞🙏🙏)

this one ⬆️ with the hand placement near the chest and whatnot feels very reminiscent of jeremy’s thing to me

this ⬆️ again, reminds me of jeremy

and this ⬆️ reminds me of christine, as she does fidget with her clothes a lot

y'all have gotta learn to act normal about other people's characters

just bc you think they're hot doesn't mean the person who made them wants to know if, or how, you'd fuck them. i feel like that's common sense. it doesn't make it OK now just because it's not a real person you're sexualizing. you don't know what they mean to the person who made them, and if you do, well what the fuck, then.

i haven’t reeeeally started writing anything other than planning this out broadly because it’s very plot heavy but got a little lost thinkin about the intimacy of shaving the other day so this is from x files au in some shitty shared motel room while they’re cryptid hunting or chasing aliens idk we’ll figure it out

When he emerges, hair towelled dry and in clean clothes, Eddie frowns at him. “What?” he asks. “Promise I didn’t finish all the hot water.” “No, you just look—” Eddie gestures at Buck’s face, “—scruffier than usual.” “Oh,” Buck says, running a hand over his day-four stubble. “I forgot my razor.” “Oh,” Eddie’s face clears, “just use mine.” Buck swallows. “Um. Okay. Thanks.” Eddie nods at him and goes back to squinting at his phone, so Buck about-faces and re-enters the bathroom. It’s not a big deal, he tells himself as he foams up his face. It’s like—like sharing a hairbrush. Intimate, sure, not something you’d tend to do with people you don’t know well, but it’s not a big deal.  He wets the razor and brings it to his throat, heart hammering there so violently it feels like his Adam’s apple is trying to get out. If his hand doesn’t stop trembling he’s going to nick himself, and God, he is being absolutely fucking ridiculous. Deep breath. The razor glides over the thin skin of his throat, muscle memory even as he stares at himself in the mirror. Doesn’t think about Eddie doing this every morning, using this very razor. Blade edge kissing his jaw the same way it kisses Eddie’s. Doesn’t think about Eddie doing this for him, hand holding his chin as he shaves Buck carefully, grip firm when he turns Buck’s face this way and that. Doesn’t think about Eddie kissing where the blade kissed him first.  Doesn’t think about any of that when he rinses the razor clean and slots it back into the travel mug, where Buck’s toothbrush rests against Eddie’s with such easy familiarity it’s about to spark a whole new crisis.

to all my mutuals out there: i love you and get happy every time i see you on my dash or in my notifications or just your tiny icon in the corner of my screen from having messaged a bit some time ago and i want you to know that you are appreciated <3

[tenojan-in-tevinter]

Honestly I really want to be able to side with Solas in dreadwolf. I think it'd be super interesting to play as an elf in Tevinter and be able to just go "yeah actually I think Fen'Harel is right let's tear down that veil." I mean I assume the main conflict will be Solas trying to convince your character to join him, or your character being told they have to try and stop him, and there are not enough games that let you side with the presented "villain" character. I want to see what the world is like with no veil I'm so interested. Also so interested to see what full-on Fen'Harel Solas is like. Is he still as empathetic? Or is he more conniving and distanced from "mortals" like the old stories would have us believe?

a large amount of time I've been spending on -untitled undefined scope original fiction project- since the last time I posted about it has been trying to develop the protagonist concept I came up with last summer or whatever into like, a character that would feel real and era appropriate.

it's fun research to do. naturally a lot of the details I assigned to her are things that I already think are cool, so it's been a lot of fun trying to trace her traits back through the relatively recent past, getting reminded of how much things have changed, or where the gaps in my intuition are, and then doing a flurry of reading to get a sense for exactly how someone like her and the people around her could have happened and what her life was probably like leading up to her present day. hopefully this results in some good good verisimilitude.

🎶✨️when u get this u have to put 5 songs u actually listen to, publish. then, send this ask to 10 of your favourite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool)🎶✨️ I was tagged by @sheakastilllovesjungjihoon 💖

Well, this is according to Spotify's "On Repeat" so. Here we go with the weirdness:

SPECIALZ by King Gnu - JJK's current opening that I've listened to... well. Let's not talk about how much I've listened to it. But also have you seen the band's music video for it?? If not, please check it out it's so weird I love it so, so much I cannot get it out of my head.

It's Called: Freefall by Rainbow Kitten Surprise

Where the Watermelons Rot by Madelynne Whit - yeah, I've been sort of working on a darker piece of fanfic (for jjk), and this is an eerie Vibe, so it's been on repeat for a while now.

Ophelia by Natalie Merchant - I recently remembered just how gorgeous Natalie Merchant's voice is, and have been replaying this old favorite for over a week now.

I Can't Decide by Scissor Sisters - Anyway, every time I hear this song I think of Doflamingo.

Honorable mentions that were pretty much tied for #5: The Dismemberment Song by Blue Kid - yeah, this is a vibe for the darker fanfic I've been churning in my head. But that's just an excuse, I listen to this one pretty often. My Sails Are Set by Sonya Bleousova, Giona Ostinelli, and AURORA - honestly haven't stopped listening to this since the One Piece Live Action came out. Promiseland by MIKA - It makes my ears happy. SAD (Clap Your Hands) by Young Rising Sons

Now for tagging! As always, you don't have to do this. But I'll read yours if you do!! (And also just... randomly tagging people and some of y'all I don't actually know, just my way of saying hey!) @ansimplegoose @anarchycox @motherhyrule @thychesters @tinyforestshark @saucepans @tuesdayinthedas AND I JUST GOT REALLY NERVOUS ABOUT TAGGING PEOPLE SO. If you see this and want to join please do and tag me so I can read it! 💖

guarana drama, damage control

"If you had a happy childhood of course you don't find the movie scary and find it rather boring. "

"if you didn't experience abuse it isn't scary for you"

these takes are driving me bonkers I had a perfectly normal childhood with no abuse or trauma and that movie scared the pants off me. I have a thing about audio/visual distortion. also liminality. also I liked to stay up way too late as a kid. also everything scared me as a kid because I have a very anxious personality. not trauma just like... I definitely felt Unsettled in a place that still dissonantly felt Safe as a kid and it wasn't due to any trauma or neglect or abuse. I had a good childhood and Skinamarink still terrified me.

[fearandhatred]

guys hear me out i feel like some things are said or done either because of ignorance or bigotry, and i do think they are two different things and that to some extent ignorance can be excusable. but being unwilling to learn from your ignorance is in itself bigotry. in my opinion

not to be sad on main but I miss my mom

WAS THERE huge fandom discourse about how will and eddie would have reacted if they had met🤨

[miharuhebinata]

so like, when is someone going to write a 50k+ byler fic that focuses on them trying to navigate their new relationship while also dealing with the super messy & explosive m*leven breakup that threatens to irreparably destroy the whole party dynamic forever 🤨
