got a worm nibbling my brain. can someone help me find a piece of obscure media?
webcomic/indie comic from the 2010s. basically a sci-fi short story about a young girl (with red hair?) who was being raised by scientists as part of an experiment. she receives a haircut/has her head shaved, in preparation for her annual brain scan/testing. it is revealed that while her body is human, her "brain" is artificial, made of computer implants throughout her skull and spine. at some point her biological mother (also a scientist on the same campus?) encounters her and is repulsed, viewing her as a machine who has murdered her daughter.
it was very poignant and it bruised my heart and i can NOT find it anywhere
#i thought it was made by the creator of 'O Human Star' for some reason but apparently not?#goddammit goddammit goddammit#'i don't have to write down the title of this piece of media i encountered in my formative years bc i'll always remember it'#*cut to ten years later frantic googling*#fun fact 'a.i.' is now a completely useless search term#google in general is useless#and stuff i read 3+ years ago regularly vanishes from the internet#bookmarks are not enough! if you like indie media--download that shit! buy digital/physical copies while you can#save it to the cloud back it up and organize that shit!!!#keep a list of the stuff you read (organized by date/media type and possibly with keywords if you want it to be useful longterm)#(or a spreadsheet even if you're like me and rabidly consume short stories/comics like a pack of amnesiac piranhas on a feeding frenzy)#(that stuff PILES UP over the years ok. if you wanna make sure you'll be able to find it again a decade later--curation is key)#because art WILL touch your soul and then vanish into the void leaving naught but a 404 Error in its wake#i am an old man shaking my fist at the kids on my lawn but the kids on my lawn are me and my longterm digital planning skills circa 2012

Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3 / Part 4 / Part 5 / SE5 (you are here)
I do in fact regularly gaslight my friends for their own good.
I can't have them suspecting the truth after all. (aka continuation of @the-cr0w 's playthrough)
#FEELING NERVOUS? HAVING YOUR BACK EXPOSED TO ME? <- You have no clue how often I said that during the playthrough.......................#There exists a follow up doodle for the 'I won't call him daddy' drawn by crow#Also seeing future trio together I remembered something. There is this one pmd fanfic I found in the depths of deviantart and I was so#shocked when the author introduced a sceptile elder that turns out to be the grovyle from the game but then he mentions that he's married#to Celebi but Dusknoir is only a good old friend. PULL HIM IN THE RELATIONSHIP!!! That man's suffering!!#but that fanfic is also really old I think it was finished 2017 but I greatly enjoyed it. About what you'd expect from a fanfic that starte#in like 2012? Ah yeah looked it up. Author said 2012. Wonder what they're doing now... They did create a really cool adventure...#They didn't post anything since 2017. Maybe I'll write a sweet comment and look if they might reply.#pokemon#pmd#grovyle#dusknoir#celebi#future trio#pmd2#pmd eos#pmd explorers#darkrai#<- you know I can't do anything without him. Me about to lie to crow to bring up MY FAVOURITE CHARACT- I will shut up now.#oshawott#shinx#primal dialga#dialga#my art#my stuff#pokemon mystery dungeon explorers of sky#dusknoir x grovyle mostly but trust me celebi is in it to.#professor e gadd#luigi's mansion#never thought I'd tag luigi's mansion and pmd... how did you land here e gadd. why did dusknoir say that.

If you told me in 2012 that College Humor, Smosh, and a brand started by some dudes from Buzzfeed are some of the most diverse and inclusive places on the internet I would not have believed you
#don't come at me I know they're not perfect#but 2012 me couldn't imagine ANY streaming service where representation is abundant and casual#MULTIPLE queer people on a show without it being their whole thing? MULTIPLE POC in a show not based around them?#clips of ACOFAF got me into dropout and then I learned the joys of everything else they have#saw clips of Without A Recipe: The Totally Normal Season and was intrigued by them replacing scandal man with cartoon animals#Vic and Zac were on TNTL on Smosh and now I watch some of their content too#but the idea of 2012 me randomly selecting an episode and having at least one queer person who happens to be there#without it being the only reason they're there#yes I know it's dropout now#I think what gets me specifically is there's a ton of diverse and inclusive content on the internet#but usually it was created with that idea in mind#idk it's just surreal sometimes I remember reading College Humor articles in middle school and now I have a yearly subscription#I remember when Korra held Asami's hand and we all lost our minds#because that didn't happen! you didn't get hints like that unless it was queerbaiting!#by places on the internet I mean mainstream (to a certain definition) video content creators#do not cite fanfic/fandom/LJ/whatever at me I was there when it was written#dropout#smosh#2nd try#yes I said something#thought about this recently and I truly don't think my younger self would have understood

So many peeps talking again about the FFXIII trilogy on every timeline of mine. I'm getting so bloody nostalgic. It's gonna be replaying FFXIII after.... maybe 10 bloody years.
#i remember even cosplaying as lightning..... man that was aaaages ago#even made her weapon and it still hangs in the overflow part of my house#good times#it's how i met my bestie in miami#danni I love you dear#this game brought us together#mistress blabbling#yes it was back in 2012! asdhjsafsa

i think he had breakfast there every other day
#hollywood u#chris winters#oc: claire swanson#hsslilly art#claire charged him 9% extra in every meal and he didn't notice (he doesn't know numbers remember this)#also asked very nicely for tips. by very nicely i mean “chris where's my 30%” (he doesn't know numbers)#anyway this can be set in either 2011 or 2012. okay who am i kidding it's set in mid 2012 which is when claire moves to los angeles#not that it matters to chris because he doesn't know numbers#sorry i'm trying really hard to make this a thing because it's going to be realllyyy funny in 2 months#claire x chris#<- we need a real tag man. i can't be using claire x chris. clairechris. i need a ship name. they had a tumblr fandom!#also breakfast with lou is a claire chris song i've posted it before but i am Reiterating. not 100% accurate but the Vibes

idk if anyone remembers this or even knew about it but there used to be this site called turntables or smth like that idk it was dj themed and it was where you could join a group and everyone would get to take turns adding a song to the queue and it was so fun
i know you can do shit kinda like that on spotify or whatever now but man it would be cool if we were able to do that when we’re just chilling on dash… like you used to be able to just join or leave you didn’t have to add people or anything like that
i wonder if it’s still around or if there’s something else like it 🧐 i need to investigate
#robin.txt#i think there was like a chat feature too#the last i remember using it was in 2012 or smth lol i can’t remember everything#but i just randomly thought of it and was like…. man i wish we could do a chill thing like that and listen together#if ppl online were able to listen and wanted to hang

God man. I'm rewatching 2012 (again) and like. I genuinely forgot just how funny and silly the first two seasons are. Like I'm only on episode 6 of season one and I've found something to laugh at at every single episode so far. And the way they really focus on every single character is just. *chef kiss*
They were literally simply teenagers man. They were so silly. The trauma bus is gonna hit them so hard and I am scared for them
I woke up depressed today and now I'm happy after watching three episodes like this show is my coping mechanism even if it'll make me sad later geeze
#the way they focus on everyone and then all the trauma is shoved onto leo.#like on this rewatch im going to actively pay attention to the Details just to see if i remember that right but#god man.#teenage mutant ninja turtles 2012#teenage mutant ninja turtles#tmnt#tmnt 2012#ninja turtles#nick#nickelodeon#nickalodeon#everyone is so good in this show god where did this characterization go#i miss shows that were funny and good like this :(#my stuff#luescris

I just had a dream about a really neat tmnt version that just hit right.
Why do I forget my dreams so fast?
#rottmnt#tmnt fandom#teenage mutant ninja turtles#tmnt#tmnt 2003#tmnt 2012#tmnt 1987#First I dreamt basically a full outline#Then it restarted and was kinda different#Like one of those#Choice based games#But it didn't get too far before stopping#And that's all I remember#i'm so sad#i'm so upset#It just had the vibe man

I’m laughing so hard about my own au because for the first three days in gravity falls the kids don’t leave the house and they are super bored. But! Dipper Must Have A Conspiracy so they just get reallyyyyyy invested in Grunkle Ford’s romantic life. He’s wearing a ring WHERE is his WIFE?? His son mentioned having another dad, did his wife divorce him and remarry? Why is Grunkle Ford still wearing the ring then? And then Ford sits down and is like. Kids. I’m married to a man. It’s not this hard
#the man in question is bill so like bad defense but still#everyone please remember that gay marriage was still illegal in 2012 and the kiddos would likely be largely unaware of all that#gravity falls#isosceles not isolated au

Things that continually haunt me: New Who’s Companion-contemporary is a year ahead of the year it aired from Aliens of London/World War Three until the rewind in Last of the Time Lords, which resets it to correct contemporaneousness
#I guess it’s really not that deep I just forget that most of s1 and s3 and all of s2 are a year ahead#The Year That Never Was is ‘08 not ‘07#also sometimes I try to consider everyone’s overlap with contemporaneous stuff…#Amy Rory and Melody dealing with The Year That Never Was#Melody knows very quickly that there’s a paradox involved cuz Rory bites it in the decimation 😔#Amy’s just glad she’s not crazy and happy to talk with Martha about the raggedy man#they never quite realize they have different faces in mind#what do Martha & Mickey think of the zero virus? do they just kind of roll their eyes and write it off as being him#or are they just concerned it’s the Atraxi’s doing until nothing comes of it?#does Martha still Know Things through UNIT?#Amy and Rory only nearly overlap with daleks of manhattan and that makes my fanfic heart sad#let’s see 2012….OH FUCK RIGHT 2012!!!!!#THE OLYMPICS!!#okay but tiny yaz and Ryan??????? who don’t realize they’ve seen him before???? perfect#probs bill too#I’m ignoring Clara cuz I don’t like her 🙃#im also ignoring the crack cuz I like folks remembering pre-2010 stuff and they’re cowards for writing memory out#the show was cooler with the world coming to terms with aliens#anyway I’d best end this now
