#tech does NOT live

i am devastated

[laughhardrunfastbekindsblog]

Okay, I have to ask:

(I'm posing this same question on Reddit because I'm really curious if there will be any difference in results based on the social media platform.)

[lavender-jedi]

You know what? If I killed off a character and my audience spent an entire year gaslighting themselves into thinking he's really alive, I would probably also plant conspicuous breadcrumbs throughout the finale series that lead to absolutely nothing just to fuck with them. Because, why not? I get it. Well played, Jennifer, well played.

Halfway point seems like a good time to share this again...

So, this might not be the Bad Batch fix-it you’re looking for because it doesn’t fix that one big thing that most people looking for a fix-it want fixed.

But hear me out.

I watched this show with my kid and, at the end, she requested that I fix that big thing – among other things – which I’m happily doing for her. But the more I tinkered with those ideas, the more I thought about this.

So, if you found yourself like three-fourths of the way into the finale of this show going, “Ooo jump scare! ...Wait a minute, who tf even was that?” Well then, come over here and sit by me.

(Wish we had another image of these guys all together, but... you know.)

In the wake of the TikTok ban and revival as a mouthpiece for fascist propaganda, as well as the downfall of Twitter and Facebook/Facebook-owned platforms to the same evils, I think now is a better time than ever to say LEARN HTML!!! FREE YOURSELVES FROM THE SHACKLES OF MAJOR SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS AND EMBRACE THE INDIE WEB!!!

You can host a website on Neocities for free as long as it's under 1GB (which is a LOT more than it sounds like let me tell you) but if that's not enough you can get 50GB of space (and a variety of other perks) for only $5 a month.

And if you can't/don't want to pay for the extra space, sites like File Garden and Catbox let you host files for free that you can easily link into NeoCities pages (I do this to host videos on mine!) (It also lets you share files NeoCities wouldn't let you upload for free anyways, this is how I upload the .zip files for my 3DS themes on my site.)

Don't know how to write HTML/CSS? No problem. W3schools is an invaluable resource with free lessons on HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and a whole slew of other programming languages, both for web development and otherwise.

Want a more traditional social media experience? SpaceHey is a platform that mimics the experience of 2000s MySpace

Struggling to find independent web pages that cater to your interests via major search engines? I've got you covered. Marginalia and Wiby are search engines that specifically prioritize non-commercial content. Marginalia also has filters that let you search for more specific categories of website, like wikis, blogs, academia, forums, and vintage sites.

Maybe you wanna log off the modern internet landscape altogether and step back into the pre-social media web altogether, well, Protoweb lets you do just that. It's a proxy service for older browsers (or really just any browser that supports HTTP, but that's mostly old browsers now anyways) that lets you visit restored snapshots of vintage websites.

Protoweb has a lot of Geocities content archived, but if you're interested in that you can find even more old Geocities sites over on the Geocities Gallery

And really this is just general tip-of-the-iceberg stuff. If you dig a little deeper you can find loads more interesting stuff out there. The internet doesn't have to be a miserable place full of nothing but doomposting and targeted ads. The first step to making it less miserable is for YOU, yes YOU, to quit spending all your time on it looking at the handful of miserable websites big tech wants you to spend all your time on.

17 year old, CEO Tim Drake canceling a press conference and then putting out a statement like, “Sorry for canceling last min, Alfred said that he was going to run my laptop through the dishwasher if I didn’t clean my room. I think he’d do it :/. Also, wasn’t really in the mood. Cya -Tim.”

I think it would be funny as hell if throughout team Phantom's time at high school they all take turns getting the protagonist treatment.

Freshman Year:

Danny and Val got the hero/vigilante and ghost flavour

Danny's Sophomore/Jazz's Senior Year:

I want to give Jazz the typical dramatic coming of age flavour.

Think overly dramatic love drama, coming of age flavoured with themes of like queerness, USA's general self sabotage ect ect maybe the Fenton parents get confronted with the consequences of their neglect and get a bit of a redemption and develop a better relationship with their kids.

Featuring Everlasting Trio getting their shit together in the background, Jazz forcing Vlad into a redemption or eviscerating him, Fentonightingale family reunion

Junior Year

Tucker and Wes have a reincarnation and myths in modern world thing. Like Tucker being Duulaman and Wes actually being Cassandra of Troy. Which is a funny coincidence now that I think about it. Egyptian Pharao who had a connection with the sun god Ra and Cassandra of Troy who got her prophecy and curse from Apollo who is amongst other things considered a sun god.

Hmmmmmm. Anyway think American Gods or Khaos (I think that's how that one series was called) or even Percy Jackson and the rest of the Riodanverse

Featuring interpantheon politics, Danny and the throne of the ghost king, Kwan and Star who are involved with some other mythology

Senior Year

Sam gets murder mystery-d

She finds out that Mansons are a super old family that can be traced back to a super powerful witch. The last person in her family to have inherited the family's magic just died and she is now the one with her family's magic. Except that the very same thing is happening to other families too.

Featuring Paulina who is a bloodline witch like Sam, Val as non magical (kind of) support

space sweepers but they're delivery people and are at no point on screen through the entire movie

Just thinking about Dick freaking out over losing his title of best uncle to Jason.

Dick showing up to take Lian out and give Roy a break only to hear she's having a fun day with Jason

Dick walking into the room with the toy he knows Lian really wanted, only to find out Jason got it for her first.

Dick showing up to game night at Roy's only to find Jason already there.

Just Dick getting increasingly frustrated and his rival Jason having no clue well the the rest watch on in humor and exasperation. Roy finds the who thing hilarious.

Picturing it all coming to a head when Dick is babysitting Lian and she shows him a new photo they put up. Dick all dejectivly being like, "look, it's you and your favorite uncle."

The pure shock and joy he feels when Lian tells him he wrong and her favorite uncle is "you uncle Dickie, duh!"

The door opening and Lian shouting "Papa!" As dick turns to excitedly tell Roy what Lian said only to see it's Jason who's holding Lian.

Dick just bluescreening.

yk that pissed off, disgusted look tech gives everyone who is painfully incompetent? that's what i love to see.

Quick doodle of Tech reading the script for season three to make sure he's in it (and not just as a sepia-toned flashback 🙏🏼)

"I know you know who I am."

[alienglowgarden]

Im bad at writing coherent things but I need to get this concept out of my head so it stops haunting me.

I had this idea for another fic called The Undine Colony.

The setting would be the second colony by the sea- started when Sol is in their forties- the story taking place an unknown time after that.

It starts with the alarm that the original Stratospheric colony has gone silent. Collapsed all its networks, killed every signal, spirited away every colonist. As it still houses much of humanity's most advanced tech, like the servers for their holonet, essential parts of the power grid, this is an issue of extreme urgency.

And who better to turn to in their moment of need than Sol? So here they are suddenly jolted into wakefulness.

Their first thought is that they cannot feel their body. They quickly learn they are not in fact the real Sol, but only an AI copy made of their brain-scan from many decades ago. Though they cannot access the future vision as an ephemeral bit of software, they have superior computing on their side.

The gist of it being that AI Sol is now in charge of the 2nd colony to replace the hole left by Congruence, all while being tasked to figure out whats happening to the og colony & trying to reestablish contact. Aaand trying to piece together their own existence on top of it. Trying to find out what even happened to the original Sol. If they have something to do with this blackout.

So yeah, itd be slowly unfurling that mystery, piecing together the gap in their memory & issues of personhood.

It's been over a year since the Bad Batch season 3 started airing. Where are you all currently standing on the question of Tech's fate?

[letshareapapou]

While Hunter and Wrecker both enjoy sleeping in now that Omega is wedged between them most nights, Tech and Crosshair take morning walks around Pabu together so Tech can catalog every different species of flora and fauna he can find. Crosshair finds he actually enjoys being outside with his twin( when not being shot at) while Tech is explaining the mating ritual of a very poisonous (albeit pretty) frog one day, and starts to bring a sketchbook. Tech prefers his tablet but sometimes Cross will find little notes in Tech's scratchy handwriting about something Crosshair drew the next day. He never calls him out on it but does smile when he finds a new thought scribbled over a page.

I see a lot of sentiment within techum spaces about not understanding how tech actually works and considering tech divine or whatever and like. I really do get it's pretty intimidating, but you can learn how your machines work. In fact I think a lot of you would appreciate your objects even more than you do by learning about how they actually function. Demystify tech in your minds NOW!!!
