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

He’s very careful! Everything was fine before you interrupted!

#Doodles #Handplates #UT #FJdlsafjdsf Handplates fuzzes my brain #I cannot tell you how weird it feels to draw Gaster with the Lost Soul head after all this time away haha #It drops me back into the person I was when I first read Handplates - for better or for worse. It's a very strange feeling #Even drawing Sans and Papyrus again sends me back! Not as strongly but certain little details stand out #Sans' eyes especially... Very strange feeling #Anyhow! Since Fellplates sent me back down the rabbit hole and I've gotten back into rereading lightly - still not a full commitment!#Maybe soon tho 👀 I feel like I always say that haha #But in the meantime thinking of the pre-Plates Handplates time period <3 Since that's the one I'm still most familiar with haha #I love when they're still growing and learning ♪ Scaffolded baby talk! Twin language! Love 'em ♥#And fearless* mischievous little troublemakers hehe #They're so cute <3 I love the little ways they interact as young'uns - like when Papyrus will just lift Sans by his arms lol #I'd been thinking about and then had to go read the one of Sans as a the blanket/coat tickle monster and then - this ✨#''Excuse me sir I'd like One Ticket to the R Rated movie I am an adult Monster'' lol #Probably another one of those moments where Gaster is just *nervously sweats in Dad* lol - stop being so cute!#Also there's no particular meaning to when I use WingDings for his text :P Just convenience and if I remember to lol #Comics where he talks a lot are not convenient XP I have enough trouble editing on this paper ugh I will Not miss it when it's done #Even attempted this comic in as few pencil strokes/erasing as possible and it was still a pain to work with! >:0 Rude #Doubly so that I've had a Handplates comic idea for past like - year lol - and /this/ was the first one I finished pfftbl #To be fair to the other I do want to at least attempt making it a look-alike hehe ♪ You know how it is with Ideas™#I can't be too mad about it haha ♫ It did turn out quite cute after all :3

given how gluttony is shown being "born" in the anime I can only imagine the horror show that must've gone down with envy

you know, i've been thinking a bit on why i like some drivers so much (charles, oscar, max). and i've realized, they all have something in common. they're so obsessed with something that they will literally always be on the floor for it. no way in hell they're getting up

charles for ferrari, oscar for his girlfriend and max? max for rocky.... they're pathetic white men and they move me with their obsessions

#does my thought process make sense? i don't care if not #a literal lightbulb went off in my head like wow it's really that simple #f1 #charles leclerc #max verstappen #oscar piastri #like charles literally signed away his soul for ferrari #oscar mentions his girlfriend at every chance and is like 'my girlfriend ☝️🤓'#and max made me tear up with his 'i fear i will always remember the rb19 as my best car' (or smth like that)#one could also argue for max it's sim racing and cats...

It's so weird that in angel s5e2 they do a little flashback to Spike's blaze of glory moment in the last episode of Buffy... but they leave out Buffy saying "I love you". It's such a blatant omission, the ONLY omission from that scene, that it feels totally deliberate and kind of dishonest. Considering a lot of the Spike and Angel moments in S5 revolve around their jealousy and rivalry towards each other, and a LOT of that is to do with Buffy like... Why would you leave it out? It's a pretty big moment for Spike's character in general.

As far as I recall they don't even mention it, they just mention the fact that Spike and Buffy have had a lot of sex compared to bangel's ONE disastrous time (that they remember) but it does kind of cheapen it for Spike. A big motivation for him not leaving LA could have been him not wanting to hold Buffy to her words, since he clearly doesn't believe that she loves him (even though she does, as per Whedon). He presumably thinks she only said that to make him feel better in his final moments, because she wouldn't have to actually follow through on her words. Which is sad. But it makes much more sense as a motivation than the weird 'it cheapens my moment of glory' excuse like since when does spike give a shit about that

#spuffy #idk missed opportunity for sure. maybe it's brought up later in the season? I can't remember rn #but they do kind of shunt spike's complexity and make his character all about angel's feelings #though don't get me wrong i LOVE their fight over the cup #i love the symbolism of spike being able to hold the cross while angel can't.#spike pointing out that he fought for his soul while angel had to be forced to change is sooooo cathartic #because that's the thing about angel is he's not inherently a good person. he has to continually fight to be better #he's the faith to spike's buffy #btvs thoughts #btvs #anyway their continued insistence that buffy and angel are soulmates that transcend any other relationships #is rly detrimental to both buffy and angel as characters imo. as well as any other relationships they might have #cordelia and spike who actually put in the work to get to know them as people are automatically relegated to second fiddle #dont get me wrong i love bangel for the angst but i dont buy that buffy will always be in love w the same guy she barely knew at age 16

Taking a break from some commission work to draw an old friend

#Zumi art #DuckTales #DuckTales 2017 #Huey Duck #I've been getting SUCH A RESURGENCE in my love for this show #Not even realizing but remembering how good it is #And how MUCH it means to me #And though Scrooge McDuck will always be special to me #For so many reasons #And overall my favorite Disney Duck #There is a very VERY special place in my heart and soul #For one particular awesome little child #Huey WAS me when I was little in ways that're too much to go on in tags #But I hear you little child and I love you

It's always about the little things with him

Nero was working on a crafts project in the back of the van when the tool he needed was out of reach. He turned to Vergil, who was sitting nearby, “Hey, can you pass over them scissors?”

Setting his book aside, Vergil picked up the scissors, but instead of handing them over, he just frowned at them as if they had wronged him. Fascinating as it was to see Vergil confused by a simple pair of old scissors, Nero needed them today, so after a minute of waiting, his patience had run out.

“Look, you could’ve just said no, I—“

Much like how he called upon summoned swords, Vergil created a spectral copy of the scissors and passed them over to Nero without a word. When Nero picked them up, he quickly realised the scissors were actually a mirrored version of the originals, better suited for a left-handed person. It was an unexpectedly thoughtful gesture from his father, considering Nero favoured his left hand for most things.

Not sure how to process that, Nero sheepishly mumbled, “Uh, Thanks… but I’m sort of ambidextrous.“

#dmc #devil may cry #wholesome #scraps like this feed my soul #Vergil’s too much of a mess to express love directly #it’s always about the little things he does #the guy probably remembers Nero's favourite ice cream flavour because his son mentioned it once in passing #so Nero randomly finds his favourite ice cream just chilling in Dante's freezer #Vergil probably stabbed Dante like Julius Caesar to get him to leave it alone #’Since when do you hoard ice cream Verge?’#’Don’t touch it or your life is forfeit.’

I decided to go through my old warm-up notebooks from my honours english class and in one of the warm-up prompts, I said I wanted my superpower to be "controlling the effects of [my] puberty," and I'm glad to say that I've gotten that superpower. It took a very long time, but that's a superpower I can check off my list

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #ngl though i felt my very soul wince while reading some of them (including that)#in my old self's defense: i was incredibly dysphoric and had Many Unresolved Issues #i also wasn't really masking in that class and didn't know i should probably not be honest with my notebook #my teacher said that she'd only grade warm-ups we wanted graded and she'd only *potentially* read others 'for fun'#also i always didn't like the 'what superpower would YOU want?' question because. it just annoyed me to know it's impossible to have #(besides the puberty superpower lmao)#as much as i believe in being kind to your past self/selves that doesn't mean i'm not cringing about it 😭#just so long as you don't turn the cringe into self-hatred i suppose #you cannot hate yourself into being better♡♡#WAIT I JUST REMEMBERED THAT IN ONE OF THE WARM-UPS I WROTE ABOUT A LESBIAN ROBOT #NEVER MIND I'M DONE CRINGING #man i should make that into a proper short story like. what a concept

Day 192: His First Soulmark

@ninja-knox-ur-sox-off

So, I won't be formatting every comic like this. Every one afterwards will just have important sentences over the drawn scenes.

#lego ninjago #frogs 365 day challenge #ninjago headcanon #ninjago kai #okay i took some creative liberty #like leaving most of it in the form of a sheet of notebook paper #and only using color to really highlight things #BUT ALSO I HAVE LOGIC FOR THAT LAST LONG PANEL #Kai is obviously “his”#I had Cole as “first” because I always read this as Cole was the first Kai showed romantic interest in over the 4 #Jay is “soul” because to me he was the one Kai found hardest to believe #amd Zane is “mark” because if i remember things correctly he was the first to put everything together fully #also headcanon that Zane was still under construction until roughly a month before his first addition to all the marks #(yes Doctor Julian did have to repeatedly scrub paint marker and other things off of him in the production process)#anyways have this #especially cause idk when the next one will be

Y'all know your girl loves her AUs, and my partner pointed out that this is just a fursona with extra steps but idc here's the animatronic version of my s/i!! I wanted to draw her in the style of the official Security Breach art cause it's cute, I'll probably draw the real animatronic later lol but meet Missy Mouse! 🧀🐀

Her attraction amounts to essentially a karaoke room where kids are encouraged to play and sing as loud as their little lungs can (soundproofed ofc) and she sings along with them! She's modeled after the 60s and sings a lot of songs from the 70s as well but tends to favor 80s hits like Call Me and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun! 💖💖

#artfarts #self insert #self ship #fnaf self insert #fnaf oc #animatronic oc #i mean its basically an oc at this point!!#five nights at freddy's #fnaf security breach #but yeah!! this is based on an au where willy boy manages to kill my s/i 😔😔 so sad #i was discussing it with my buddy and idk its kinda cool to think abt her in the SB era!!#especially since ive seen both theories that glamrock freddy has michaels soul AND aus where he never burnt up and is a guard #i think both have potential for both cuteness AND big angst >:3 #like for the purpose of glamfred being michael if the two were always really close and sang a lot of duets together #freddy has a crush on her but doesnt know why cause he doesnt quite remember their relationship in life #and also guard michael only being able to see her in animatronic form 🥺🥺#either way shes usually very kind to kids and is something of a nanny as well #not like sun/moon theyre like for toddlers and shes for slightly older kids #anyway ill defs draw more of her soon!!#i just HAD to get this out there lol #crush: 🔦🧟‍♂️#forgor his crush tag lol
