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

30.09.23, saturday

I am a javascript god (me when i’m delusional and also lying)

things done today:

6h of trying to not suck at javascript (got it to work the way it’s supposed to (i’m hoping))

managed to carve out time to actually chill guilt-free (well,, mainly guilt-free, like 70%)

She can't keep getting away with this

#I just finally got my hands on a physical copy of volume 5. so I was looking at this omake again #and one google search later. here we are #a god damn famous painting about eating oysters in a way that evokes both horniness and the transience of pleasure #done by a dutch painter during the era when vanitas paintings were a big thing in the netherlands #god damn you mochijun #it doesn't say it in the screenshot. but vanitas paintings as a genre did start specifically as a dutch thing #I can't believe this #I hope I never stop finding little details like this #this woman is insane #I love it so much #also to be clear I did read about this in places other than wikipedia. I know how good sources work.#but this was the easiest way to get matchy screenshots #vnc #vanitas no carte #the case study of vanitas #comparison #ID in alt text

The thought that goes into the fake science in dungeon meshi can be something so special actually. Using golems to explain crop rotation and how removing predators from an ecosystem can have knock-on effects. Talking about symbiotic relationships and parasites too! And characters are actually interested in the science so they keep explaining about it. Finally, some exposition I can get behind.

#I tried to google to see if the author had any bio/chem/agriculture qualifications but no luck with a brief search #but like. just from reading up to early vol 2 I'm seeing so many lines where the in-universe science draws from rl #this is so much better than Kill the Moon aka the ep of dw that was so bad on science it made me drop the series for years #(admittedly the really bad abortion metaphor also contributed towards that decision but shhh)#dungeon meshi #I should maybe make a readthrough tag but I feel like if I do that I'm going to intimidate myself out of reading

5/4/2024-5/5/2024: What a Heavy Burden, to Command Knives Where to Stab

#listen. if there's ANY spelling errors. tell me or else i'll be haunted by it forever :(#doodles #doodlings #one doodle every day #my writing #naruto #tobirama senju #ah. anywho! i...#have tried to do a quick google search on what the anbu masks were inspired by. the wiki reveals NOTHING!#but i've seen yokai animals throughout this book i'm reading and it stuck. (originally i was going for oni masks but it didn't have the #cute animal traits anbu masks have to them so back to yokai it was. which is neat. i think it goes harder like this.)

you know i just typed a paragraph about it and then deleted it but in far fewer words I fucking hate the trope of women characters in traditional fantasy who are clearly intended to be empowering to SOME members of the audience by merit of the fact that they wield some secondhand power over like magic or dragons or a politician or something all while still embodying this sexy nonthreatening mystically-beautiful divine femininity. so the writer has fulfilled their feminism quota by inventing a woman whose entire character could easily be eclipsed in artistic merit by rachel platten's hit single fight song to the exact same emotional effect, and much of their audience is satisfied by this, so we as the dissatisfied reader have no hope in hell of getting to take in a woman character who can heft a sword or be big and muscular or god forbid do anything interesting with her gender. and trans characters of any kind? FORGET about it. not gonna happen. this fantasy is someone else's fantasy and it won't let you forget it.

#im sure good stuff is out there and i could find it with a google search but im complaining about a trend here #so much of fantasy is written for cis men and the author doesn't care if you notice. and that's sad! to me!#this turned into a paragraph again . thats okay <3 #i read the name of the wind so long ago and i am still mad about it.#i am mad about it still #still i stay angry #but even fantasy i like does this! the witcher. which i love. does it at least twice

Is Harry a horocrux/ parselmouth ?

What, in canon?

#in lionheart? i mean... uh #his scar has been hurting? i uh... not to spoil anything but like #do you remember the canonical reason harry's scar hurts?#like there's a LOT going on with harry's bond with voldemort and it's a lot of layered pieces #between lily's blood sacrifice and the horcruxes and the horcrux shard and the resurrection potion and the twin cores and the prophecy #there are like 14 operative enchantments affecting harry and tom's connection at any given point. it gets kind of nuts.#but as far as i recall. there isn't an alternative explanation for that.#TLDR: lionheart is a canon rewrite that diverges from a very specific point. i'm not hacking around in the guts of the thing #you just haven't seen lionheart!harry around snakes!#i get a lot of these types of 'what's going to happen in lionheart' questions and candidly speaking i don't get it at all #like surely you'd rather read about it in the story than just dig it up in some random lore post on the author's blog?#i usually just leave them be but this one got to me because of how it has 0 context #'is harry a horcrux?' man who are you? hermione granger's google search circa 1998?#lionheart spoilers

"Saol trí mhíol mhór saol iomaire amháin, saol trí iomaire saol an domhain.

“Three times the life of a whale is the lifespan of a growing ridge, and three times the life of a growing ridge is the lifespan of the world.”

These thirteen words encapsulate just how far back the knowledge contained within the language stretches on this island, as a whale was thought to live for one thousand years, (although they actually live for about a century), so it was known that the cultivation ridges we can see in the fields around us could be up to three thousand years old. Archaeologists agree that there are indeed ridges of that age still visible in places like the Céide Fields in Co Mayo or Slievemore on Achill Island. The span of three cultivation ridges would amount to 9,000 years, which brings us to the date that archaeologists believe humans first arrived here – the beginning of our world. The fact that our people appear to have somehow kept a count of how long we have been on this island and that they encoded it in our language is precious.

My grandmother often pointed out the still-visible cultivation ridges left by her great-grandparents’ generation during the Great Hunger in the 1840s. Some were more visible than others as they had been left undug – with my ancestors either too weak to dig them, or, having noticed the blight-rotted potato stems, they realised there would be nothing but a slimy mush beneath the soil. I had been struck by the longevity of such memories, but it wasn’t until I heard the proverb that I realised quite how far back these folk memories actually stretch.

It appears, at least, as though we managed to keep some wispy thread of memory intact from our Neolithic forebears, who planted, weeded and harvested along these ridges thousands of years ago. The knowledge is contained within the land, and over the years I’ve realised the best way of accessing it is through the language."

-Manchán Magan, 'Thirty-Two Words for Field'

I know we all hate Fandom Wiki when it comes to it's usage as an actual wiki for various media because the website design is dog shit, but I feel like we need to at least respect it for it's role as a complete Wild West for 8 year olds on the internet to create elaborate fanons for their ideas about theoretical reboots and spinoffs and video game tie-ins of random kids shows. They're out there making full show bibles and scripts and 5 year business plans for their spin-offs of Fairly Oddparents and Veggietales for no one but themselves, just as god intended the internet to be used for. We need to design a better website for them to put this shit on because it's a shame that Fandom has a stranglehold on the market of entire wikis made exclusively for things that are entirely made up and only exist in the brains of like 3 random kids on the internet.

#i do not mean this to make fun of the children and adults who do this btw. live your best life.#but sometimes i stumble upon these things in Google search results and i go down a rabbit hole for hours just reading a random persons wiki #the only problem i have with it is that sometimes google will give me fandom wiki links as Real Search Results #which is usually fine if it's a popular wiki but sometimes it just gives me entirely made up shit #like the time i googled what the name of Timmy Turners dad was and it gave me what was basically a random name #because apparently the only result it could find where someone answered this question was a fandom wiki #for someone's deep and convoluted Fairly Oddparents theoretical reboot canon. like there were multiple show ideas and spinoffs #whole episode plots were written with episode counts and seasons and show development history #all of it entirely made up. did not exist in real life.#i respect the dedication but Google this is how misinformation spreads.

Did you know that there's a harrier dog breed

H. Harrier Du Bois. Get it. Because th. The dog is a. Harrier dog. And Harrier is Harry's name. You get it. Give him a dog. Harrier and his harrier. Harry and Hairy. Yeah. Anyway

#disco elysium #harrier du bois #this has lived in my brain for a week or two #if kim and harry were animals i think harry would be some kind of dog (harrier)#and harry would look at kim and think about it long and hard #and you'd think 'cat'. because of course kim is. fairly cat-like #and i think kim would expect that too #but then harry just nods and says. very firmly. 'cormorant'#or some other kind of sea bird like the skua #i have my reasons. yes. and they are very thoughtful reasons. of google searching for sea birds #anyway that was an unnecessary tag ramble. thank you. for your reading. farewell
