just realized i talk about my brain and mental illness as a computer like a lot. i’ve referred to myself as “being offline” so often as shorthand for being in a depressive episode and isolating. i just responded to a whole bunch of texts and said my brain “wasn’t responding” and i mean that in a computer way, like the software is not responding to the data requests. is this autism
#it always is#fascinating. it makes sense i love computers#just never realized how often i say ive timed out or im lagging/loading/buffering#or i got unplugged suddenly or there’s too many background tasks#man. i would be a good robot

Something about Vegapunk using the dna and blood of a caged and experimented on child to create more caged child experiments and the cycles we perpetuate.
Because what does it mean that all that King has left as proof, that the lunarians were real, that they existed as a tribe, as a people, are seven manufactured children he doesn’t even know about, enslaved as weapons to the government that wiped out the culture they’ll never get to be a part of, and Alber himself another enslaved child lost to something he’ll never fully know.
And what of the warlords? Already young once and hurt by their government, young again and slaves to it. Boa looking at a version of her practically pulled out of time stuck in her worst nightmare or Jimbei looking at a version of himself living out a past he escaped by the skin of his teeth but so many he loved didn’t, even Doffy once again at the mercy of the people that already abandoned him, has Kuma not suffered enough? Given enough, is this child version of him doomed to repeat the same path he already could not escape from . Property of the world government, beholden to the celestial dragons, this version of me that cannot go free?
It’s interesting that Vegapunk joined the government so that he could do the most good, but look at the long line of people right infront of him that he’s hurt with his own hands.
#god I did not mean for it to be this memo dramatic but I have alot of feelings about the seraphim#again I don’t think Vegapunk is a bad man he’s blinded by the greater good tho and his own thirst for knowledge#and while I’m sure that his invention did some good the flower pellets for one does that really erase the bad?#is he responsible or can he be held accountable for the good or the bad#but Vegapunk plays fast and loose with who he sees as humans#the other vegapunks while he acknowledges them as really just extensions of himself he treats them like people#same with stussy who is also a clone#but there is no humanity for the seraphim even tho they seem to feel more than the average pacifsta he treats them strictly as robot weapon#it’s strange and niche how he goes about classifying this in his head maybe it’s the only way he knows to live with it#because if the seraphim where children and he handed them Off to the government to become murderes and weapons of mass destruction#what would that say about him?#one piece#throwing thoughts to the void#dr vegapunk#vegapunk#warlords of the sea#7 warlords#boa hancock#jimbei#bartholomew kuma#donquixote doflamingo#seraphim#seraphim one piece#king one piece#alber one piece#king the wildfire#lunarians#op#one piece meta#one piece analysis

#dndads#the peachyville horror#GAHHHH TAG RAMBLE AS ALWAYS THIS SEASON IG#Also sidenote I kinda needed to relax a bit after work to get into the episode so I grabbed a beer from the brand ''good robot''#in Trudy's honor hehe#Anyways yeah I always love going through the tag and reading everyone else's impressions afterwards#And like a lot of you I mean fuck that episode was SO funny but those last few minutes almost had me in tears of the sad variety#Almost! Agh that was so good#But the bits this episode were insane#Unfortunately I'm a really big sucker for jokes getting beaten into the ground so I'm really weak to Freddie's shit#And truly only laughed harder each time he did a BIG SHANE SILVA quip#Fuck on that note lowkey too bad that he died I was kind of curious what would come of his whole deal#But! Definitely a win for Francis that he's out of the picture#Speaking of Francis- YIPPEE HE LIVES!#Fuck the wrack sisters part was so good (also guys the spell is wrack with a w haha but I mean. 😏 in our hearts it's rack)#Matt's so real for making up a version of Kamonwan through a bit and growing attached to her he's just like me fr#Also not to ship Kelsey with everyone she meets but. 👀 I'm looking respectfully.#Oh but MAN the part about Kelsey temporarily switching with another version of herself from a world where the hour of the hole comes to pas#That was FUCKED oh man now *that's* the juicy cosmic horror shit that gets me#Also loved the more direct nods to this mysterious god from below and the confirmation of its ties to fire/burning-#I can't remember what I wrote on that many episodes ago in my pure conspiracy theory rambles but I've lowkey been waiting on this#<- But that's just for me.

Look, I rewatched all of Bravern to try and make more sense of it now that I know plot twists and stuff and honestly how does Lewis never ask anything about the cockpit that he was in for four seconds. I think he should mention it. I think he's allowed to talk about it.
#brave bang bravern#lewis smith#isami ao#how does this man never mention the wire tentacles actually#i think i would mention the wire tentacles#i think i would think obviously thats why isami doesnt like to get inside the robot surely i can talk about this with him#and then be very wrong but you know thats just me ?#i went to crunchy roll JUST TO SCREENSHOT this from episode seven because im too scared#to google cockpit tentacles so thats on me but that is literally just a screenshot from the episode#fellas is it gay to talk to your crush about cockpit tentacles -#bravern spoilers#just in case i guess ??? i mean ? since its in episode 7 ill consider that late enough in the show to count as a spoiler#i cant believe i watched this show twice all the way through ... its so ....#i normally dont get into mecha anime tbh but its so stupid but sincere and shows a whole lotta trauma#so i find it endearing i guess but it might also be my bias to the stupidity#i like cringefail loser guys and im blessed with them in this show#plus its only 12 episodes#but anyway please know that lewis is my favorite and im very happy he just gets to adopt a daughter and be gay the entire show#like truly good for him and his daughter im happy for them both

Worm Arc 24 thoughts:
. . . fucking . . . fuck. Just . . . fuck. Fucking fucky fucking FUCK, THAT WAS SO BADASS!!!!!
ALL OF IT HOLY SHIT I DON'T CARE, JUST PICK ANY MOMENT!! EVERYTHING EVERYONE DID WAS BADASS!
LIKE. FUCK. COLIN GOT TO LOOK BADASS.
He even got "yelling in caps" badass. Just for the one scene when he picked up Chevy. He did one fucking thing right, which was help someone up and then let THEM be cool.
And speaking of . . . HOLY FUCKING SHIT CHEVY! YOU DIDN'T GET KILLED BY TIME TRAVEL CHAD!
WHICH MEANS I DON'T HATE YOU ANYMORE!
WHICH MEANS I CAN SHOUT ABOUT HOW BADASS THAT WAS!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fuck waiting for my interlude section to talk about this. That final scene with Behemoth was one of the most visually badass things I have ever read in my life! Fuck. I get fucking chills just thinking about it.
I can see that entire last fight in my head very clearly, almost like remembering an anime scene. Perfectly written.
And Regent! Look at you go, that's character growth!
I mean sure, you died. But growth!
Besides, you dying legit made Imp cooler. She was already great but "I'm going to fucking kill his dad for him" is even better! And Wanton's apparently got jokes so we still have a funny guy.
Basically if someone had to die I'm happy it was you. Sorry not sorry.
ALSO FOIL WHAT THE FUCK YOUR POWER COULD ALWAYS DO THAT AND YOU'VE JUST BEEN SITTING THERE SHOOTING THINGS?
I . . . I just . . . girl! How?? You could literally have turned a piece of rebar into a sword that Alexandria could have cut Leviathan in half with! And that's just what I thought of in the first few seconds after seeing this! Spend some time actually thinking about what you can do lady!
But luckily my daughter is here to do the thinking, and be FUCKING AMAZING AT IT!!!
LIKE HOLY SHIT TAYLOR, YOU CUT OFF BEHEMOTH'S LEG!
AND THAT PLAN HOLY SHIT! YOU MADE A PLAN THAT SET RACHEL UP TO BE THE BADASS HERO WHO CUTS OFF BEHEMOTH'S LEG, AND SETUP REALLY POWERFUL HEROES AS HER SUPPORT!
Fuck half of Eidolon's fucking job was "Catch my girlfriend and fly her back to me."
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOLFSPIDER WOLFSPIDER WOLFSPIDER!!!!!!
And the snuggling at the end, as they were leaving!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my god and the lightning rod! That was insane!
Golem just has really cool powers. Glad Theo is doing ok.
And Alexandria's power preserves the body so Pretender can just puppet her. That's wild. Kinda annoying, my daughter just killed her!
And and and Taylor talked with Contessa!
AND CONTESSA SHARED HER POWER!!!
I was pretty close, didn't have it that specific, but basically was expecting something similar. Fuuuuck it's so cool!
Also the underground cities and the secret capes were wild. Kinda unfortunate that you guys set things up for Behemoth to be able to collapse the entire city, gave him lots of existing tunnels and such to work with.
My daughter could have done a little less bonding with Phir Sē. Ideally. Would have made me feel a little better.
But holy shit a time portal bomb made of looped light?? GOD DAMN. That sure hit like a truck. Just not a big enough truck.
Also Grace and Cuff are dating. I don't make the rules I just enforce them.
And the rules are "make it gay"
God and the whole "thinkers stuck on a roof" bit. Christ that was planned badly. They almost died because nobody had some rope. Embarrassing.
I'm glad Tattletale is doing ok. She got her girlfriend to steal a dudes phone for her, which was pretty funny. And I loved how she still got to do her big reveal to Chevy, she needs that.
HOLY SHIT AND TAYLOR TELLING RACHEL HOW TO TAKE CARE OF IMP?? SHE UNDERSTANDS HER GIRLFRIEND. GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAAAAAAYYY!
And fuckin Tecton just trying so hard to do the same thing with Rachel first and just failing so completely. And then trying again. And again. Bless his big himbo heart he's trying.
Fuck there's so much, I'm sure I'm missing a dozen other things. Every chapter had 20 moments I could mention.
Seriously though, sucks for New Delhi. "There’s nothing left to protect here" is a heck of a line and it is not what anyone wants to hear.
Chevy interlude (the rest of it) thoughts:
Holy shit Chevy's shadows! I wish he had described more of them, I wanted to know everyone's image! Just so much data there.
Fun to see the early Wards. Fun to see that Colin was always like that.
Hero's death was absolutely a targeted hit, he started asking too many questions, pushing back on things.
Chevy's whole power is just really fascinating. Really interesting to think about.
RIP Mouse Protector
Also the fact that her shadow was her laughing makes me think she might have lost the ability to be sad when she triggered, which is unfortunate if true. I mean Bonesaw got you either way so I guess it doesn't matter now.
Loved getting a wonderful list of Endbringer attacks. Sure it still wasn't all of them, but up through Simmy showing up is still pretty great.
Extremely curious about Mr. Keene, keeping an eye out for more info on him.
Tattletale just needed this poor man to read her texts and let her do her fucking THING! It's all she wants.
Anyway ya turns out powers (except Scion of course) can't touch the actual core of the Endbringers and I'm like 95% sure I have a good idea as to why it works like that, but still got a little bit of that uncertainty.
Endbringers are directly related to Eidolon in some way, I am pretty sure of that. Created by him. Previous bodies. Sentient poop for all I know! They're connected though.
HOLY SHIT WHEN HE SEES TAYLOR'S SHADOW DURING THE FINAL FIGHT!!!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! SHE LOOKED SO BADASS!!!!
Aftermath interlude thoughts:
Pretender and Satyr are so gay. That one's easy I don't even gotta try.
Everyone just starting to freak out about how things are gonna escalate instead of just celebrating the win is really unfortunate.
I mean, they aren't wrong. Another Endbringer is gonna come. But it would be nice if they could live in happy ignorance for a few days.
I'm guessing it'll either be two Endbringers that always attack at the same time or one Endbringer that uses teleportation to swap to a different city after a certain period of time. In either case basically fucking up the organized response ability.
Already mentioned this, but Rachel and Taylor fell asleep on each other!!!! GGGGAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!
If Dragon comes back wrong I'm putting all of the blame on Colin.
Fucking Danny just fucked that phone call up so bad. This man can not get it fucking right. FUCK.
GLENN YOU FUCKING FUCK I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR REASONS ARE YOU DON'T PUT SOMEONES PRIVATE VIDEO THEY TOOK FOR THERAPY ON THE INTERNET!!
AND YOU NEVER EVEN FUCKING SAID "SORRY"!!!!! YOU EXPLAINED YOUR ACTIONS AND WHY YOU HAD TO DO IT EVEN THOUGH IT WOULD HURT HER AND YOU COULDN'T ASK HER CAUSE SHE WOULD HAVE SAID NO BUT YOU NEVER EVEN SAID SORRY!!!
Like for real. Taylor says "You could have asked" and you respond with "You would have said no." Fuck at least just say sorry!
#Worm#Worm Web Serial#Parahumans#Cairavende reads Worm#Skitter#Weaver#Rachel Lindt#Wolfspider#Chatterbug#Smugbug#Tecton is a perfect little himbo boy#Oh ya and Cauldron kidnapped/saved all those people in the first underground base#Like sure Taylor was yelling at them to not go but I feel like most of those people would have very much died when the city broke#Seriously though I'd kill for fan art of Chevy's view of Taylor in that final fight. With her shadow image. So fucking cool.#I mean I'd love any fan art of any parts of that fight. But that might be my favorite specific image.#Fucking christ there was so much good Wolfspider stuff#And Chatterbug (Smugbug)! The scene with Taylor at Tattletales bedside was cute.#No for real though if Dragon came back with any major issues I'm blaming it all on Colin.#That man better not have harmed my wonderful robot daughter.#I really really really really would have loved for my wonderful bug daughter to spend less time have philosophical discussions with Phir Se#Look I know. Ok? Worrying about her talking to Phir Se is closing the barn doors after the cows got out. But I gotta do something :P#If I was making a new endbringer I'd do a pair that always attack two different places but the 2nd one shows up a random time after the 1st#That way no one wants to go fight the first because they all want to wait until the second shows up#Just in case it attacks somewhere more important to them. Fucks up the parahuman response and breeds resentment among capes.#Plus than one day both could just hit the opposite sides of the same city as a surprise and really fuck things up

Of all the actors in all the world (and by "all the actors" I mean "all the Vico Ortiz") that could play Murderbot, they went with —
#really does not give me hope that the show's going to be... any good at all#because if you look at Murderbot on the page and think 'yeah a six foot white dude'#then you are not making Murderbot you are making 'COOL ROBOT MAN IN SPACE'#and I guarantee you none of the actual interesting things about the series will be portrayed in the show#as for 'Mensah would be played by Viola Davis' I'm fully prepared for the role to go to fucking David Thewles now#ugh oh well

hi
so uhhh this line in your erisol understuck post "not getting into all the ELABORATE thoughts i have on how the geno route would go"
…………can we have some of it????I'm dying of curiousity ever since I read that post lol
also just to let you know that your aus are all very fabulous and they live in my brain rent free all the time. i was wondering do you mind fanart??
aww thank you, i don't mind at all! would love to be tagged if anyone makes any <3
as for the understuck geno route; here's a loose plot path for it!
basically, the plan would be to have a split in how the route could theoretically go; a normal version of the route following close enough to undertale's canon events with the characters given, and a secret route for speedrunners because sollux deserves to have a proper battle at the chagrin of people trying to speedrun LOL
#tmos opens mail#oak-ash-thorn#eridan ampora#sollux captor#erisol#understuck#<- dont remember if i tagged the last one that tbh; not looking at the old post as i make this lmao#it is REALLY funny deciding 'yeah the actual two phase battle will be unlocked if you speedrun through the lab' lmao#probably sets a secret timer as soon as you enter to check if you've autoskipped/mashed through all text to tell. idk how coding it would g#anyways. yeah eridans the last straw for people sollux has lost in the normal route. can't stop ignoring the doom weighing him down there#but then sollux sees the speedrunning in the speedrun route and is like. wtf stop that. that's my expertise i'll get you#can't remember if i commented on his battle music in the previous post. god i would love it to be rhythm based im biased about that lol#forces you to take your turn quick before he auto proceeds with his attack to the music. literally so normal about sollux in this route#also REALLY normal about eridan's robot body immediately being devalued by MSPA's battle describing text as sollux is taking time to save--#--his parts. gently setting his halves aside while hes In The Middle of sending a barrage at you. it getting called scrap or something. OTZ#anyways WOW i have put so much tags on this LOL. thank you for the interest!!!#man i need to draw/write out the neutral/good route at some point for this the plot beats in my head are so fun

had a dream where they released Ultrakill 2 and you played as Gabriel and V1’s lovechild (hatechild? Whatever the fuck you’d call their spawn)
#it was actually a really good design#no I don’t believe either of them were pregnant it was a robot like V1#however if one of them had to be pregnant? it would probably be Gabe#but like… what’s the optics of making a trans man carry a baby to term#anyways#gabv1el#not putting this shit in the main tag this is barely a post

SLN-002: Geyser Man
Height: 7'6" Special Weapon: Chain Geyser Good Point: Honorable Bad Point: Unintentionally hazardous A towering robot modeled after volcanic eruption, Geyser Man was initially in charge of monitoring the characteristics of crypto-domes and hotspots before being armed for battle by Synth, a rogue military robot with a drive to amass a powerful army of unstoppable robots dubbed the ‘SLN’ (The Synth Legion Numbers). In spite of appearing as a power-hungry giant, Geyser Man believes in a fair battle, but his internally stored magma can reach up to temperatures of 3,000 F, so he often begins with the upper hand. His antagonistic side notwithstanding, Geyser Man is a highly dependable robot who loves hot springs and often goes on vacations to sight see volcanoes with Magma Man.
#⭐ Star's Art ⭐#Mega Man Ultimate#Rockman U: The Renegades Rise#Mega Man#Megaman#Rockman#Geyser Man#Mega Man OC#Robot Master OC#Coolness#Funnily Geyser Man was one of the later renders of the SLN eight I drew as they were not all drawn in numerical order#And as you can see it's already a lot finer than Zap Man's render... at least in my opinion!#Who would have guessed that practicing an artstyle for ten years would allow me to finally draw good looking hands?#I had a lot of fun with the trademark 'Mega Man metallic shading' here too. That's always a highlight when drawing these

Gonna come in with the steel chair and bash the Creator. Holy shit poor Sun. Just let the poor guy have a break man! Swear to God gonna watch him just snap even worse than last time soon and frighten the shit out of even Dark Sun.
#today's episode hit hard man#The way he avoided going into detail about the full torture with Moon too#I hope good Sven kicks his ass for abusing his children#imagine all good Sven's kids hear about this and want in on the action#300+ robots coming for this Creator would be glorious#sun and moon show#sams

I keep posting so much g Gundam shit that it’s annoying because I didn’t expect to be this hyper fixated + I should be in bed but ohhhh I’ve been caught up by this realization that I’m only gonna put via a dumb discord screencap (please ignore my name)

#meg text#g gundam#mega man zx#literally didn’t start drawing the fucking connections until I got to Wong#oh and the game of destiny really could be parallel to the Gundam fight easily cause their both battle royals#With selected people pick with a good few of them being fucking orphans#evilest idea for a ZX G-Gundam idea is all chosen ones have DG cells so more of them are just corrupted overtime#To replace Albert putting his DNA into people expect it has more fucking consequences then just being a biomatch#oh and every Gundam biometal would come from Devil Gundam anyways GOOOOD this keeps fitting#I’m only not gonna do this given uh- *gestures to the other mecha ZX au*#but this is something funny to rotate#also I have the issue of wanting to zxifiy my blorbos#Also the mega man to Gundam pipeline now become more apparent to me cause yeah no it took a lot#like so much fucking mecha in this Android series dna which is why androids being mecha is once more complicated#but specifically with mm despite the robot shows NEVER getting a anime- they’re just painfully inspired

*voice of exhaustion* you guys are like, so moronically white
#nnstuff#rambling#this is about the murderbot fandom. dont talk to me about it but y'all annoying as hell sometimes#but im black what did i expect#had one critical thought about murderbot casting#and then decided that its actually groundbreaking that its being played by a white man because... why exactly?#thats literally seen as the default. there's nothing challenging about a white man playing a characater who has no gender#white men have played all kinds of characters including women and minorities#specifically because being a white man is seen as the default experience. so of course a white man can play a genderless robot#its not groundbreaking. no one is gonna be shook by a white man playing a robot saying that it has no gender#you guys are sooooo easily swayed its embarrassing#you know what would've been really cool and played into the themes of un-personhood within capitalism?#a trans black person. or even just A Black Person#a black man would've been doubly good imo because black men are seen as hyper masculine and aggressive#so it having no gender would push against that#and a black women could make the audience think about what traits they see as gendered#and both would make u think about how race plays into being owned under capitalism#and why it would unexpected to see that kind of face on a badass security construct#that would've been something at least
