#tamed

[flowerbarrel-art]

(Very long post with rambles)

Animator Vs Animation and Oneshot both have concepts of AI being “tamed”, but have different ways they’re carried out.

Chosen being tamed meant he was a prisoner and he wasn’t treated well at all. If it weren’t for him being trapped, the “taming” wouldn’t stick. Later Chosen has a chance and frees himself, fighting back against Alan again.

But in Oneshot taming means someone took the time to become friends and care about the robots, and it sticks because they want it to. This type of taming somehow allows them to break out of their programming. They’re “tamed” by friendship because someone cares about them. They probably don’t have to follow the Laws of Robotics anymore (the three laws are brought up in the game).

ProphetBot says there wasn’t time to tame him, since everyone was evacuating the area. He was left behind and I don’t think becomes tamed during the game (but potentially does or could be after it’s over).

Alan tamed Chosen by force. I don’t know what it would’ve been like if Alan had been able to calm Chosen down or talk to him. Chosen started destroying Alan’s desktop, which I think is because he couldn’t control his powers. Maybe there was no chance to talk to Chosen. He might not have wanted to listen even before Alan started fighting him. Definitely didn’t want to after Alan caught him.

Maybe if there had been more time, it could’ve been possible to tame Chosen without force. The programmer seemed to be pretty optimistic about whatever way he had to stop Chosen—whatever it was. We probably won’t know exactly.

Maybe catching Chosen and disabling his powers, which Alan did on his own. After the antivirus program caught Chosen, Alan may have contacted the programmer again and was able to hear the advice this time.

But I wonder, if Alan and Chosen had become friends, maybe Chosen would’ve been able to grow past his “destructive Chosen One” programming. Alan wouldn’t have drawn Dark to stop Chosen since there would be no need.

Chosen would’ve gradually warmed up to Alan over time, becoming friends with him despite the rough start, because Alan cared and tried to make up for everything. Alan would’ve felt bad for making Cho a Chosen One, realizing how scared and confused he probably was and not just destructive. Alan realized it was hard to be a Chosen One and that he should’ve been more responsible and not creating a Stick just for fun.

Though I guess Alan might’ve decided to draw Chosen a friend after a while, and it would’ve been Dark. Maybe even Orange some time down the line. Chosen at first would be wary, not liking Alan drew Sticks just to be his friends, just a different way of seeing what would happen when making a new Stick (why he’s initially angry when Reconfigured Dark draws Macaroni and accidentally brings him to life). But Chosen would be glad to have Dark and later Orange as friends, and Alan knew he wanted other Stick friends.

If I ever wrote an AvA/OneShot crossover I could make that happen. Or just AvA with a different idea of how Chosen was tamed. I might. Possibly not right at the moment since even though I want to, I know I’d get incredibly carried away and I want to make some progress on other projects first. 😅 But I’m going to keep it in mind.

Little Pain Pig Slut Boy

One of the main attractions at tonights auction.

A freshly caught straight boy that is waiting to be turned into an obedient slave. No former training, breaking him into a pain pig is part of the fun we offer to the crew tonight. Everything is permitted 😈.

“The little prince went back to look at the roses again.

"You're not at all like my rose. You're nothing at all yet," he told them. "No one has tamed you and you haven't tamed anyone. You're the way my fox was. He was just a fox like a hundred thousand others. But I've made him my friend, and now he's the only fox in all the world."

And the roses were humbled.

"You're lovely, but you're empty," he went on. "One couldn't die for you. Of course, an ordinary passerby would think my rose looked just like you. But my rose, all on her own, is more important than all of you together, since she's the one I've watered. Since she's the one I put under glass. Since she's the one I sheltered behind a screen. Since she's the one for whom I killed the caterpillars (except the two or three for butterflies.) Since she's the one I listened to when she complained, or when she boasted, or even sometimes when she said nothing at all. Since she's my rose.”

― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

Sometimes I think that the only thing wanting to make him thoroughly good, is a wife. But it isn't every woman that would do for him. And the woman who marries him should have high courage. There are moments with him when he is very wild; but he never is cruel and hard.

Just thinking about Tamed!starker where Tony is four months older so he takes that as permission to call Peter ‘kid’

TAMED

summary

About two decades ago, a myth spread over the lands of Reve. A myth of a babe, a newborn, barely days old, who could tame beasts and creatures with a mere look of his big blue eyes.

No one knows where he resides now, twenty years later. No one knew where he lived back then either. It makes it a bit hard for one looking for said beast tamer, when you didn’t know the first thing about him, except that he possessed big blue eyes. Hell, half of Reve’s continent had blue eyes. They were a lot more common than you’d think.

Toman, one of the many mercenary groups notorious across Reve, are not being paid enough for this…quest, of sorts. Pfft, who was he kidding? They weren’t being paid at all.

Not when it was their own responsibility that went haywire and on a killing spree.

So yeah, they had to find this guy fast. Like. Yesterday. Before the entire kingdom and its posterity became extinct.

CHARACTER AESTHETICS

The feminine urge to send him slutty shit when he’s in public.

[darth-aliquos0]

Bad piggy, bad! You should not be complaining ‘bout the piercings you’re getting tomorrow, you’re only going to get yourself muffled and punished all night long.

Oh boy, I know we captured you just yesterday, but even with all the punishment you've had you're still acting bratty and disobedient, so much even for a typical straight boy.

Maybe an hour or two of being spitroasted on livestream will help to humble your little piggy mind.

The wild

The wild heart still lives, /

among the tamed yards it prowls, /

its eyes summer bright.
