#it's weirdly optimistic

I have urges to talk about the TTRPG I'm running on here but I also know that at least one of the players likes to lurk around my writing stuff so I can't talk about stuff the players haven't seen yet which sucks because that's what I wanna talk about. So I will self-indulgently vaguepost about it instead.
How many times can a robot be rebuilt before it's no longer the same machine? If it's memories are copied into a brand new body, is it the same machine as it was before or something new? At what point does a machine's life begin - when it's creator first drafts it, when it's pieces are being assembled, or when it's switched on for the first time? What if the robot's original draft is taken and completed by someone else? Who's rightfully the creator? The one who finished it, or the one who laid the foundation for it to be completed in the first place?
If someone has the memories of two different people, which person are they really? Are they both of them? Are they neither of them? If one of the sets of memories they have remembers committing horrible, horrible acts, but the flesh those memories inhabit never did a thing and the true perpetrator is long gone, should they still hold themselves accountable? If one of the two minds would despise the other, what would happen when they're forced to coexist?
How true is a friendship if that friend is forced to forget that they met you over and over again, but they always come back to you no matter what? And when that friend suddenly vanishes, and then the one you despise with every fiber of your being starts speaking with their voice, would you not feel like you're being mocked?
All I know for certain is that the sun will rise. I hope they'll look up long enough to see it.
#The Adjudicator has spoken.#i'm juggling this at the same time as act II please understand why things are slow#if you can't tell i like getting existential#i've been told i can write horror pretty well too#i've thought about cosmic horror before but i could never do it any better than bloodborne#as grim as that game is#it's weirdly optimistic#as no matter how dark the night gets and how unsightly the beasts are#you are the only one who can defeat them.

It's 2025 and I don't know how to feel about that, what do you mean it's not still like 2022
#weirdly optimistic despite it all?#Before I get hit with waves of catastrophizing doom for about 15 seconds every once and a while#not art#vena vents

my dad KEEPS saying man city are going to draw or win when we do our predictions
he's said the liverpool game is gonna be a 2-2 draw because, quote, "they've got to do something, they cant keep losing"
had to break it to him that we can in fact keep losing and that's what we've been doing for weeks now

Me: Could a mentally-ill person do this?? *Buys gas, eats two meals in the day, and does both of my jobs*
#im not describing this well but this is nicely productive for me#like its baseline. a badeline productive that i cant always reach#i recently moved out of ny parents house and its been a few years since i lived alone#and i was worried that im too mentally ill to live alone#its only the third day but im cautiously optimistic#the first day i arrived in the evening. unpacked a little. slept#the next day one of my dearest friends came to visit me. we explored the town and went grocery shopping#i bought snacks AND bread and lunch meat and cheese and cheese sticks and peanut butter and jelly#so snackies to keep me alive but also real food that i know ill like and eat#thats big for me ngl#then today i did orientation for my shift lead job at dunkin and drank an iced coffee. delicious#and bought gas and medicine (i live with a cat but im allergic) and food#and fixed the temperature in my mini fridge because it froze everything#and then i did about half an hour of work for my remote job! i just made a staff highlight post#and caught up on the paperwork and such of it#and also showered!! its been a good day#and weirdly enough it hasnt felt like a strain. its all felt very manageable. and i didnt even need a nap#i know this sounds like a normal lineup of things for someone to do but honestly this is big for me!#im just very happy with myself rn. im proving that i can take care of myself and be safe and well cared for#look at me! im safe and well cared for!! all by myself!!!!!!!

the thing about gabriel saying āi love youā to aziraphale is that it seems completely unnecessary. itās just there, out of nowhere, blamed on his current state of total loss.
but then we get aziraphaleās answer (or rather lack of) and so the need for that line becomes very clear. heās saving the big three words for the only person he knows who actually deserves them but to whom he can't say them yet.
and itās both so sweet and so sad because in the end he didnāt get to say them. but you know why? because itās not meant to be the end. they will get there, the words will be said, and everything will be just fine.

thinking about when my friend asked me if she could present my psalm 1 poem in her poetry class as a poem she likes and i was like yeah sure and then her teacher was like oh what an interesting take on ecopoetry ^__^ the ending is weirdly optimistic though thats unusual!
#julia.txt#THE POEM IS CALLED PSALM 1 WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM ME#sits. hey you think the ending is weirdly hopeful and optimistic. do you want to talk about why that is perhaps. would you like to discuss#i would LOVE to discuss that :3

You kinda act like Bachira
š„¹š„¹š„¹ you prommy?
that's the nicest thing you could've said to me, thank you
#im shaking that's so sweet#weirdly. this actly isn't even the first time I've heard this#which is CURIOUS because irl i believe I'm nothing like him.#but u know what we have the same... this -> He thinks his strong point is being optimistic and being able to have fun in any situation.' ME#'He spends his days off doing whatever he feels like doing on that specific day.' ME#If you have seen It's Always Sunny In Philladelphia then know that bachira is the charlie to my mac.#that's actually how i came up with this blog name. from that mac/charlie bodyguard bit.#anyway i went off topic. ty so much ( ̄ā½ļæ£)

awww basketball again
#malkin#tanger where is your penguin hat#oh wait dallas is a few days ago this must be old#i do appreciate how even though geno wears expensive sweaters and shit#his favorite hat is still just a 50$ trucker cap from a historically high quality but relatively affordable hat shop#its just cute: rich famous hockey celebrity but still just geno#When i bought my first go*orin hat i must have gone into the shop at least twice if not three times trying to decide which one i wanted#I had just gotten my first job in LA and Old Town pas is one of those Fancy shopping districts so i felt very awkward and out of place#and jenn had to go with me to drag me into the shop i was so nervous#And she tried on a bunch of the hats with me cause shes nice like that#Anyway yeah the folks in go*orin were real nice to us which if you have ever been into botique shops in LA you will know thats unusual#Most of the time they are rude assholes especially if you dont look like you are going to spend any money#I did buy a hat it was a little directors cap like the one walt wore in the 20s before he went into his porkpie phase#I do not like porkpie hats i will never wear one of those LOL#But i was determined to have a directors cap because if i was here in LA living the dream i was gonna look the part#I was still optimistic about things back then#Weirdly enough when i got my second job a month later the hat became a thing because it turned out everyone at the studio wore hats lol#I fit right in#And then the pandemic happened and suddenly nobody was going into the office at all for a very long time :(

1, 4 & 12 for the ask game š
Thank you!
1.Ā do you know how you want the story to end when you start, or are you just stumbling through the figurative wilderness hoping to find a road?
For my multi-chapter fics and longer oneshots, I usually have the whole thing plotted out before I start writing ā though there are exceptions likeĀ The Hedgehogās DilemmaĀ where I knew the originally planned ending (now the ending to chapter 1) before I started but the fic kept expanding as I wrote, and shorter one-shots likeĀ EphemeraĀ andĀ All I Have (And a Little More)Ā were more of a stumbling through the wilderness hoping to find a road deal.Ā
4.Ā what is the plot bunny youāve been carrying for the longest? optional bonus question: do you ever wonder why you havenāt written it yet and experience deep existential dread?
This is more of a concept bunny than a full plot bunny, but Iām a big fan of people on a spaceship-type sci-fi, specifically the kind with like, buttons and dials rather than the glowy high-tech screens where they have to worry about resources and refuelling and all that (think Battlestar Galactica (2004) or Firefly) and Iāve been meaning to write one for⦠years, at this point. I donāt experience existential dread about it, though! I made a conscious choice that my fiction writing is a fun-parts-only hobby and things will get written when they get written. Iāve been writing basically my whole life and have no intention of stopping, so thereās plenty of time.Ā
12.Ā do you ever have trouble focusing on writing? how do you get around that?Ā
I do! My technique is basically to embrace writing inefficiently ā some days I make my word count by writing half a sentence at a time between scrolling through Tumblr, and you know what? In the end, there are still words on the page.Ā
#asks#ask games#thank you!#i drafted most of this last night after i remembered that ibuprofen exists 4 days into this cold#and not having a headache for the first time in like a week made me weirdly optimistic and sappy apparently#i mean i stand by it but ādon't worry about it there's plenty of timeā is uh. no the usual vibe with me yk#kvetch oc
