I AGREE WITH YOU SO HARD MAN i find it boring as hell that we have those complex, alien, amazing blend of machine and organism massive structures and people want to reduce them to what is basically a finger

Ignore the fact that I not only had this ask sitting in the box for several weeks but the art as well.

Time to continue the on the string propaganda as is my duty

YES there is SO much room to make these supercomputers incredibly interesting without taking them off the string.

Like I get it, silly creature in scenario (I love those) and I'm not gonna criticise it much here- this is mostly gonna be an appreciation post, but big machine that is not human could very much stay a big machine that is not human.

Faithful mutual @sin-ari talked to me about how such a complex machine would struggle to portray it's emotions through the puppet. The puppet is meant to comfort the ancients and provide a way to communicate in the same style. But who's to say iterators feel things the same way? What if they had emotions that are indescribable to us? Things we could never experience?

And I'm going to keep talking about Ari's points cuz yess iterators should express their emotions with all of their structure. You should hear the thrumming and crackling of the flux condensers! You should hear the growling of their systems with anger, you should feel the metal walls vibrate with sound!!

The PLACE is alive and you should feel it!!! If you wander into an iterator structure and it's quiet, not a single 'whoop' from the flies, if the lights aren't dancing like they usually are, if rooms are empty with inactivity, could you not feel the sadness?

Does the general system bus play a different tune?

they should make more movies about aliens that are really scary and powerful but its not a horror movie and the alien is friendly and cares about humans and they work together to accomplish a common goal. and the alien never stops being scary but it also never stops being nice. shapeshifting into something else such as an animal or person is acceptable if it is incredibly terrifying and/or only temporary. this is why blue beetle is so awesome and also why im an alien fan who isnt a fan of 99% of alien media because its either horror or stupid or both and typically not in a way i enjoy. the alien is usually a metaphor or vehicle for something else, it’s something for the humans to overcome. it’s not an actual character in the narrative. yes there are movies such as E.T., Earth to Echo, and Paul, where the alien is charming and cute and friendly after the initial reveal. but i dont want them to be cute. obviously the titular Alien Franchise is good and i love xenomorphs but again thats horror. the xenomorphs want to kill people. i want a movie where the xenomorph is a friendly murder dog who hangs out with the protagonist and they fight monsters together. i want a movie where the Thing saves the research group. do you understand me. i want the horrifying alien to not only be a character but be a protagonist. i want the scary creature to mean more than shock value. i want the freak to save the day. i swear i might as well become a fuckin movie director given how rare this seems to be

(ACID THEORY)

He got deep-fried

In my personal version of Acid Theory, the battery acid is a catalyst rather than a reactant; it simply sped up a process that was already happening. Spamton's "puppetification" was a supernatural consequence of his connection with his benefactor on the phone. Before the acid incident, he had already been experiencing progressively worse symptoms. He had peeled off so much dead skin from his hands that the plastic growing underneath was fully visible. Spamton's decaying body and inability to make profit without his benefactors strings drove him towards the NEO body, where the swatchlings witnessed him kneel before it, praying for hours at a time. Due to Spamton's trespassing in the basement, inability to pay rent, and visually declining mental state, Queen saw the acid river as both a way to get rid of him and maybe get him to relax. After all, the acid isn't supposed to dangerous and the river is only a few feet deep. No one bore witness to the disfigured amalgamation of plastic and flesh crawling from the acid river and its trash filled shores. Ball joints strung with tendons, enamel teeth growing from a yellowing plastic face, wet glassy eyes, amputated feet molded into fake shoes—a breathing, living puppet. Swatch assumed that Spamton somehow transferred his soul to a new body—the alternative was both horrifying and surely impossible.

(This is a remake of my first acid theory drawing (not on my tumblr) from a little over 2 years ago. Both were done with the same paper and markers.)

What does Sleep, as in the deity, look like to you guys? Because as someone who's been around in the Sleep Token fandom for a while, I've seen a lot of different interpretations.

To me, Sleep doesn't really have a set, physical body outside of a person's (perhaps Vessel's) dreamscape. Afterall, why should something that dictates all the odd, horrifying, joyful and (sometimes) meaningful things that happen in your dreams be one thing? Sleep could be the shadow in the corner of your dark room you swear is moving, the tapping of rain as you're about to fall asleep, the creaking of the pipes inside your house/apartment as you slowly dose off at your desk, etc. Outside of a dreamscape; Sleep is only what you need it to be. Hence Its need for Vessel as Its mouthpiece.

However, in the dreamscape, I can see Sleep as a fish. Not a particularly alive looking one, per say, but the scattered remains of one. All bones, empty eye sockets (but are they truly empty?), rotting flesh and scales peeling off bit by bit etc. Specifically, a kind of deep-sea fish; like an angler fish, a sixgill shark or a Greenland shark. But! Along with its bones, Sleep has bioluminescent innards. Viceral that ebbs and flows in multi-colour fashion with each flick of Its tail.

The deep sea fish imagery mainly comes from the fact that the deep sea is almost completely unknown; many of the creatures down there are completely alien to us, like Sleep has supposedly become over the hundreds of thousands of years that It's existed. The deep sea, for the most part, is completely silent. Calm; the perfect place for a nap (if you can breath underwater of course).

It's the perfect habitat for the Unknown, odd and horrifying.

I could count the amount of original stories of mine that don't have horror elements on one hand and idk what that says about me

[shadyhouse]

i keep getting rejected from job applications and i have no idea what im doing wrong. i wish they would just tell you WHY you're getting rejected and ways to improve. its a guessing game that ends up making me feel even more worthless than i felt before

Speaking of self sabotage (unintentional?? Maybe???), you can't possibly be abandoned if you don't truly trust anyone in the first place!

though tsaritsa's vs darling's reactions to bastard reader can be easily summarized by

can we talk about how wrong the finish line ending is. can we talk about how barry sees snapping thawne's neck as their point of no return when thawne directly expressed hope barry can still live up to his idealised expectations several times and even spoke of how exactly he can achieve that. can we talk about how barry while having the best intentions fucks with thawne's speed and timeline resetting him to a humble curator with no powers and makes their situation a THOUSAND times worse when thawne comes back as reverse-flash because that reset is a direct and ultimate confirmation of barry's desire to forget thawne and make it like he never existed (the very thing that motivates thawne to mess with barry at all, the very thing he went insane about and which led him to becoming reverse-flash) and how thats similar to creation of the flashpoint which was done with good intentions and changed the world forever even after being undone. can we talk about how it also resembles lobotomy as in permanently fucking up persons brain and its necessary functions to make them more calm and controllable in their mental illness instead of actually helping them which takes a lot more time thought and effort and how that was a quick and seemingly effective but inherently destructive solution. can we talk about how barry by taking away eobard's powers also takes his freedom from societal expectations and standards of his time he clearly didnt fit in and 25th century in general. can we talk about how barry also took the only good memories thawne ever had aka their moments together and especially their first meeting which thawne saw as perfect and held very dearly just like any other interaction with barry including the reverse era ones. can we talk about how fucking intrusive, invalidating and selfish is the whole concept of erasing any kind of memories from another persons brain, no matter how hurtful or bad or self-sabotaging those can be especially involuntarily and how only the said person should have control over that because that is their damn life. can we talk about what such betrayal will do to a man who previously became the reverse-flash just because of one single phrase that he thought was something special only between him and barry. can we talk about how this time thawne paradoxically didnt even do anything to deserve that because he never met barry and never had such possibility in the first place. can we t
