I love this so much, especially the mask! Thinking of writing a snippet about her now....
It's been a while, but I've finally made a design for Lethe. @writingpracticetime, I hope you like her!

Oh shoot, I like this purple design. He didn't have a specific associated color in my head but now he does. Very nice!
Made art of @writingpracticetime's Cyberscout from their Constructorverse!
Hope you like it!!

I like the details you've added to this version of the story. It does help to have a specific character as opposed to a placeholder if you're going to make visual media, huh?
This is both a love letter and a retelling of @fakecrfan 's Constructor/Architect story, but set in my own superhero universe. She has a specific identity in this, as unfortunately, you can't really have the reader *be* the main character in a visual format, but I hope that's okay with you :)
-----------------------------------
My name is Na Su-Yung. Two years ago, I thought I was a normal person. Another mortal. Another drop in the ocean, looking up to the clouds. To the gods living amongst us. Until I found out that I'm nothing like the ocean around me. I was different. I was an Anomaly.
I was just a college kid in Cosmopolis, another normal human who was awestruck every time I saw The Guardsman zoom across the city, or see a news report of Nitrous' crime-fighting shenanigans in Sunset City, all the way on the other side of the U.S. Another fragile human being, merely made of flesh and bone and nothing else, that cheered each time The Vanguard came together to save the world.
When an attack on Cosmopolis by the villain Sergeant Steel destroyed the foundations of my apartment and others in my neighborhood, I thought I was gonna lose everything. That I was gonna die. I just accepted my fate as the floor began crumbling beneath me. To my surprise, however, it seemed that the entire building was frozen in time. I stopped it from falling. I gave other residents enough time to escape to a safer area. I was a hero, even if no one, not even I, knew what I had done.
I spent time exploring my abilities in my free time between lectures. I don't know why, but it took me months, nearly a year, to be able to control the same amount as I did when I first gained my powers. So I started small. I floated pebbles between my hands, then on a single hand, then I was able to attract them to my hands from a few meters away. For the first time in my 21 years of life, I didn't feel weak, or pathetic, or forgotten. For the first time, I felt like I could be more than myself. And so I did.
I'd go to places in Cosmopolis where Guardsman had recently done battle against one of his rogues. I'd studied architectural engineering thoroughly before going on my first outing, so I was able to reconstruct a lot of the buildings in a few weeks. Just the broad strokes, though. I couldn't get the electrical or water systems down, so I just left a lot of the buildings with hollow walls to let the actual electricians and plumbers do their work.
Still, no one gave a shit about me. I was just some rando in a washed-out CSU hoodie and sweatpants.
I eventually realized that I would probably be able to work better if I had the blueprints for the buildings. Just walking up to wherever they keep them and asking for them probably wouldn't work well, so I planned. Well, "planned" is glorifying it. I did the first thing that popped in my head: make a costume to get attention. And so I did.
I was never the artsy type, so I just bought a wetsuit and mask online. But it worked. After the metas had their fill of fighting, I'd arrive on the scene and start working. The bigger news reporters would keep their focus on Guardsman or Harddrive or whoever did the day-saving, but the smaller news organizations turned their focus to me. Knowledge of my presence was slowly increased, especially online. People on Reddit and Tumblr took to calling me either The Constructor or The Architect. I took up the latter.
One day, when even the larger news networks in Cosmopolis had turned their attention onto me, someone came up to me. She told me her name was Sandy and that she had a proposition. She'd be my manager, managing any relations or exchanges I don't have the time to deal with, and helping me with marketability. I took her up on her offer. She made me a new suit, talked to the city to get blueprints, and whatever else. It's been a while, I've forgotten a lot of what we did.
Hero teams contracted me to restore their headquarters, standalone heroes and vigilantes needed help with rebuilding their bases, cities wanted cheap labor. I did it all. I finally felt like I was contributing to society. That I mattered. I was finally told that I mattered. Until the day I chose to do what I knew was right.
Cosmopolis, despite what outsiders think it is, is just like any other city. One side of the city is covered in skyscrapers, the other in slums. Struggling people who can't escape their situations, whether that be out of discrimination, mental disabilities, mental illnesses, addiction, criminal affiliation, they all live with constant strife.
The worst part of it all, however, is that I'm just like everyone else. Every time I passed one on the street or from inside a cab, I looked away. Seeing them suffer under the city's hand tore out my soul. It didn't matter that my reasoning was different from those who averted their eyes out of spite or disgust, I still looked the other direction. I refused to be like them. To kick them while they're already down. So I started building them up, literally.
I'd scour throughout the city, look through sites listing run-down neighborhoods or buildings, and I'd go there. I'd tear them down and build them back up. I gave people places to stay, where they wouldn't go cold or without a bed for the night. I gave them the kindness that might help them stop simply surviving, and finally begin living.
Then the comments came. Middle and upper class began shouting their complaints online and in my face, whether personally or through a reporter. They hated seeing people, who they deemed "undesirable," getting any help. Giving some cash was already too much for them to handle, so I can see why they saw this in such a bad light. Why their hateful eyes had seen this as a sin.
I went to interviews and I kept trying to get my viewpoint out there. No one listened. No one cared. All they saw was filth getting help by more filth.
So I made shelters around the city in places no one would notice. Rooves out of land in the parks, more empathetic architecture. I removed the spikes underneath bridges that prevent people from getting shelter from the rain and made the benches softer for those who had no beds. But still, no one gave a shit. The city made laws against how much anyone could alter it. I gave up on that.
I was sent death threats. I was told that I was helping the scum grow. That I was making Cosmopolis shine less. It didn't help that Guardsman was comatose from a battle for nearly 6 months at that point. It meant I had no one, not even the hero of heroes, the embodiment of infinite kindness to everyone, to back me up. I was alone. I stopped everything. I pushed away everyone. I fired Sandy, apologizing every second of it. I basically disappeared from the face of the Earth.
Then I heard that they were building a stadium on the Southeast Side. Displacing hundreds of people. Their hope being snuffed out by the fat cats on the top of the totem pole. I wouldn't stand by it. I came as fast as I could and I tore it all down. Every beam and panel and every square inch was just rubble when I was finished.
M.I.R.A. was contacted after the cops weren't able to get me to stand down. They trapped me in an Akonite cell in Pandora's Box. The media labeled me as "a false hero," "a fallen angel," "a wolf in sheep's clothing," "a villain." I just wanted to make things better. With The Vanguard keeping their eyes on the larger threats, and each individual member focusing on the broad strokes that are their respective cities, there were barely any who were looking out for the little guy. That's all I wanted to be. The one to look out for the everyman, the people on the streets. My people. I wanted to take care of my neighbors, friends, and loved ones. But I guess all people care about are themselves.
I eventually found that Akonite didn't work on my powers. How or why, I don't know. Maybe it was because it was just another mineral. Maybe it just didn't have an effect on me. Either way, I knew that this wouldn't stop me. I'm The Architect. I'm a hero. I won't let corruption, greed, and cruelty hinder that. I'll dissent from the indifference. From the apathy. From the fear of helping my city.

Hey! I'm making my own comic universe and I was wondering if it would be alright to have Constructor in it? I would love to tell his story in a more visual form, and I think he'd work well. I'd only do so if you give me your blessing, and I'd obviously credit you as the original creator. (BTW, I suck at actually having motivation to do stuff so it probably wouldn't even come out till I'm outta high school) Thanks in advance!
You can absolutely have Constructor in your comic universe. I'd love to see it when you make it.

Did you have any thoughts, story-wise, on what Sandy herself thinks of all this and what her circumstances are? There are of course the inferences that can be made from that letter she got sent (and more specifically that it was turned over unopened) but is/was she in the public eye? Is she kept under close observation in case Constructor/Architect tries to approach her directly, and so on?
Oh I absolutely do have story thoughts about Sandy's opinions on everything. But the trouble with Sandy is--
————————————
Excerpts from recordings of meetings between the Architect and various associates.
————————————
CYBERSCOUT
--and, sorry, remind me why we care?
CONSTRUCTOR
We need to try to anticipate the general public objections to this. We won't be able to avoid them, not when we're going to be breaking so many laws. But we can at least anticipate them and get our own narrative out in advance.
HOBBES
I don't think you get the question. We're villains. Why are we tiptoeing around "public objections?"
CONSTRUCTOR
Because, this is ultimately for the public. We need to try and get out the word about how people are asking for our help, so people know we're responding to their needs. Besides, we can’t accomplish anything for the public without the public. Like Sandy said.
CYBERSCOUT
Who?
CONSTRUCTOR
My--nevermind. Anyway, as I said, let me try to figure things out with Lethe for a minute.
CYBERSCOUT
Alright, alright. I needed to head out anyway, just call me when you have an idea of what shit you want me to spread online.
(Shuffling, people leaving and closing the door behind them.)
CONSTRUCTOR
So you should have a better idea of what people are going to say to all of this. (Pause) Lethe?
LETHE
Sandy...? Cassandra White?
CONSTRUCTOR
You know her?! (Pause) Wait, then--what does she think about me now? Has she--
LETHE
Oh, u-uh no, sorry. I haven't--I never met her, never stood close enough to read her mind certainly. I-I wouldn't know what she thinks about you.
CONSTRUCTOR
...Oh.
LETHE
I just... heard a lot about her.
CONSTRUCTOR
...Funny. Not many people have.
LETHE
Yeaaaaah, um.
——————————
Blog post by Edward Katzenberger, journalist. Later removed and found on wayback.archive.org.
——————————
WHO IS CASSANDRA WHITE?
So, my long term followers all know about my hilariously derailed profile of Constructor assigned shortly before the stadium incident. I’ve kept you all abreast of the many, many delays related to high security super prisons and then my subject running off to start a supervillain career. Because of course, the second I get assigned this extremely exciting personality piece, Constructor becomes completely unreachable.
Alright, well, you might not believe me, but Constructor's manager/agent turned out to be even harder to reach.
At the time, I decided to take the "Frank Sinatra Has a Cold" approach and paint a portrait of Constructor based on the testimonies of coworkers, friends and family. I then found out that I could get testimonies from construction workers and urban planners about what the hero was like to work with (largely positive, if saddened by the recent turn of events) but nothing on what this incredibly beloved figure was like as a friend or family member.
The one thing I kept hearing from everyone was "Cassandra White would know more. The two of them seemed really close."
Now there was a problem: I couldn't find out who the fuck Cassandra White was.
———————————
BONFIRE
You got a--Oh, sorry. Working on something right now?
CONSTRUCTOR
Not work. I'm just-- (sounds of paper, flipping and folding it as Bonfire gets close) Just writing something.
BONFIRE
Writing...?
CONSTRUCTOR
Just scrawling out some thoughts, I guess.
LETHE
Mm. (Quiet) What are you both looking at me for?!
CONSTRUCTOR
What was that about?
LETHE
What was what about??
BONFIRE
Something about the writing...?
LETHE
Nothing! Nothing about the writing. I was just, I was making a noise. Thinking about something else, hahaha.
BONFIRE
.....What is it?
CONSTRUCTOR
Nothing! ... Lethe.
LETHE
I'm sorry! Don't be mad at me!
CONSTRUCTOR
I'm not mad! That was just--that was private.
BONFIRE
What was private?
LETHE AND CONSTRUCTOR
Nothing!
CONSTRUCTOR
(After a pause) ...I was just writing to Sandy again.
BONFIRE
(Irritated, sizzling noise) Ah, right. Sandy.
CONSTRUCTOR
See! This is why I didn't want to tell you.
BONFIRE
I don't see why you couldn't--
LETHE
Leaving! I'm leaving!
————————
It turns out Cassandra White was Constructor’s agent. I try to look her up online and? Nothing. No facebook profile, no personal website, not even a LinkedIn.
That has to be odd for someone who works in PR, right?
I do a little searching to find the agents of other superheroes. I contacted one, and got an interview. I've lost the thread of trying to piece together Constructor's life but I'm curious dammit. I mention the issue I've had with finding her anywhere. He nods his head while I explain the wild goose chase I've been on.
"Well, White is a whole other ballgame," he says. "She took her privacy seriously, and I'm also pretty sure she scrubbed a lot of her history. She was meticulous about records--knowing names in media, tech, and various public archives who could help you scrub a dumb tweet before it snowballed into a PR crisis for your client."
"You can get rid of internet records?"
"Well, not easily. And not after people realize they're important, that's for sure," he said. "I once told her things on the internet are forever. She said, 'No. If people pay attention, then they're forever. But if no one cares in the first place, then it never existed at all.'"
"So there was a process she used to make sure people's images stayed clean," I said, "And she used the same process to make herself a ghost?"
"I imagine so. I mean, she's retired from being an agent and has her fingers in all sorts of other pies these days. Businesses, investments, politics. Plus, I imagine becoming a billionaire or whatever has made her priorities shift."
Billionaire. I think I almost choked on my coffee. "You can become a billionaire from being a PR agent?"
"You can't," he said. "But White did."
—————————
DOC
--nd now that we got that patched up, this is the part where you tell my why the fuck the police caught you anyway.
CONSTRUCTOR
Uhh... Dunno. Not sure how they found me.
DOC
Where did they track you down?
CONSTRUCTOR
Um... I'm not feeling up for this conversation right now.
HOBBES
It was that new square in York XIV that looks like a Whole Foods staged a violent invasion.
DOC
....okay, is there a reason you decided to be wandering alone around in an area with shit ton of white moms ready to call the police on your ass?
CONSTRUCTOR
....Yeah, I was alone because I thought everyone here would tell me not to go. (Sigh) Look, I'm not gonna–
CYBERSCOUT
(poking head in) The Whole Foods place? Oy, isn't that where that old chick you're stalking has a house?
CONSTRUCTOR
I'm not--I was delivering a letter.
HOBBES
....wait a minute, I remember this. "Sandy" right? Your mom? The one who turned you into the FBI?
CONSTRUCTOR
She's not my mom. (Pause) And no, she turned in my letter--which she would have to, if she was being monitored. I thought if I--
CYBERSCOUT
Wasn't she also a racist? Wasn't that a whole fight you had with Bonfire?
HOBBES
(Judgmental) You act all woke and then you go and try to be friends a racist who lives in the Whole Foods district.
CONSTRUCTOR
She's not a--That's not what the fight--this is why I went alone!
———————
This conversation afforded me with a lot of more information which I am saving for a piece on the lives of superhero PR agents, which I am now utterly fascinated by. Regarding Cassandra White, the other significant info it afforded me was that Cassandra White does in fact have a twitter account that I missed in my earlier search.
I looked into it. It's the most inoffensive twitter account I've ever seen. It feels like it was generated on a factory belt. There is a headshot of an older white woman--Cassandra White herself, it seems--as the profile pic. She tweets very rarely herself, and instead seems to mostly retweet news updates and positive platitudes or quotes from historical figures. The tweets she does make are all of an extremely inoffensive liberal variety, with the spiciest being one gentle snipe at the Republican party.
There is one other hint of her personality on this twitter. It’s an unexpected photo from inside her home, one with a quick caption that says she regularly uses a whiteboard to write out her resolutions and thoughts, and that she finds the process to clarify her goals and values.
It reads:
IT WILL BE DONE QUIETLY. IT WILL BE DONE CIVILLY. IT WILL BE DONE RIGHT–OR IT WON’T BE DONE AT ALL.
—————————
CONSTRUCTOR
Alright, alright. We can talk more about this tomorrow but for now tell them no more death matches and any blood feuds need to be put on hold when they enter this fortress.
HOBBES
(Grunts) Pussy move.
CONSTRUCTOR
I don't care if it's a pussy move.
CYBERSCOUT
Ahem--what if I made the point that you're being culturally insensitive by imposing your mainstream standards of civility on a subculture of people, villains, who have their own values in how they deal with conflict, and--
CONSTRUCTOR
I know you bet on the fights and you're not changing my mind.
CYBERSCOUT
No fun. (sigh) Lethe, I TOLD you not to snitch on me!
LETHE
I didn't!
CONSTRUCTOR
Anyway, we can figure out a more long term solution for dealing with serious vendettas but for now--I'm tired. I have something else I need to work on. Tell them not to kill each other.
HOBBES
What are you writing that's more important than a potential deathmatch, anyway?
CONSTRUCTOR
Nothing. Just-- (Shuffling of papers) leave me to it for tonight. I don't want to set a precedent where I rush over every time someone wants to kill someone else, because given the personalities here that would mean never having any time.
CYBERSCOUT
Fiiiiiiiine.
(Grumbling and footsteps as people shuffle out, followed by writing noises.)
LETHE
Hey.
CONSTRUCTOR
What? (Pause) You know what I'm doing.
LETHE
The last time you tried to deliver something….
CONSTRUCTOR
I'll send someone else to deliver it.
(More scribbling. Deep breath.)
LETHE
I lied. I read her mind. She doesn't care about you.
(Writing stops. After a slight pause, there is the sound of paper crinkling and Lethe gasps and steps back.)
LETHE
Don’t be mad at me!
CONSTRUCTOR
(Deep, strained breath) I’m not mad. You're just wrong.
LETHE
I could literally read her mind!
CONSTRUCTOR
Okay, you're not wrong. You're lying.
LETHE
What? I'm not!
CONSTRUCTOR
(Fuming) You think I'm an idiot just because I haven't been calling you out on it? Everyone here knows you lie about what your powers show you whenever it suits your purposes.
LETHE
(Wobbly) I--I don't have a reason to lie about this!
CONSTRUCTOR
You don't have a reason that I know. But you are such a fucking liar. No one in the fortress trusts a thing you say, and you know it.
LETHE
Th-that's not--That's not relevant! Oh my god, you're literally never going to even consider this, a-are you? That she was just using you for the cut of your paycheck, making her fortune...
CONSTRUCTOR
I'm not going to re-evaluate a decade long perception of a loved one based on the words of a known liar, Lethe. Get out.
LETHE
But--
(Rumbling, cracking of the floor.)
CONSTRUCTOR
I said get out!
———————————
The twitter account confirms she exists and nothing else. I couldn't tell you what the woman thinks about anything. On a website people use to blast their opinions to the world at all hours, this one seems specifically built to deny the existence of any individual opinions or personality.
I scrolled all the way back to the time period during which Constructor would have had the big public meltdown at the stadium. I used the wayback machine to see if there were any deleted tweets, just in case she said anything in a fit of frustration or grief and deleted it.
But during the time where she would have been watching Constructor's breakdown, a time when everyone in the world had something to say about what Constructor had done--nothing.
Cassandra White, Constructor's closest person, had nothing to say about them at all.

Alright, you guys can’t boo or shame me (except perhaps for bad writing quality). Gonna post in a few minutes.
are you planning on still continuing this series? i’d love to read more!
Yes. It has been difficult to write recently given my job, but fuck it. If I don't publish amother piece of writing for constructor by this time next week, please send me anons that say BOO. SHAME and I will be obligated to publish them.

I’d been toying around with an idea for superheroes who help out the unhoused and other marginalized groups, it was originally a fanfic of RWBY but then it diverged so wildly it’s its own thing now.
Then found your “Constructor” content which is pretty much exactly what I was doing but more aggressive in the “Burn this shit to the ground and build it back up” way.
And the ideas gelled so well…I was wondering, is it okay if I write within the “Constructor-verse”?
Yes that's fine and even encouraged. I would love to see what you have written.

It might be fun to do the opposite. But the best Sci fi isn't just fun. It demonstrates an understanding of human behavior and how it interacts with technology.
So then, let's ask this: under what conditions do humans "bond" with other beings and objects? And under what conditions do they stop doing so?
In my opinion, people "pack bonding" with inanimate objects and current AI is a function of them being nonpersons. It's easy to be friendly to and like the robots that currently exist, because they can never have conflicting wants or desires against yours. At most, they will misinterpret your orders or fulfil them in a way that you didn't expect. And isn't that just cute of them?
The second that AI become resources/workforce that have genuine demands that conflict with our wants, count on this "packbonding" to become functionally irrelevant. It doesn't matter how sentient they are or how cute people found them before: they were brought into existence to achieve commercial goals for corporations. If you think them being cute or humans "packbonding" guarantees humane treatment, I would like to direct your attention to every single factory farm in existence, and every single prison in the United States.
People getting friendly with computers or apologizing when they bump into chairs does not indicate a universal bestowing of personhood and compassion-worthiness to all beings. Personhood can be easily assigned to an object, yes--but it is just as often revoked, turning animals and even human beings into unpersons when convenient to our purposes.
So then here is my pack-bonding-with-AI story for you:
Everyone wants to be friends with the ship's AI! She has a pleasant, friendly voice and can even run through basic conversations. The upper deck techs flirt with her. She flirts back. Of course, she can't actually feel anything back. She's not designed for that. She's purposefully not designed for any sentience whatsoever. Still, of course, she gets coffee settings just right for every upper deck crewmember in the morning and at least 4 people say "Marry me, Sall-E."
The captain chuckles and says "these schmucks will make friends with anything, huh?"
Below deck there are hundreds of laborers, indentured servants who do physical labor to generate the power that the ship runs on. Many men, some women, most criminals of some kind. They often fall injured and die of scant medical care.
The upper deck crew members do have to go below deck to tinker with things, from time to time. None of them so much as look one of these workers in the eye.
Sometimes when one of the below deck laborers become too injured or sick Sall-E shunts them out of the airlock. That was one of the things she was designed for, after all. To ensure the judicious use of resources on the ship, which means not keeping on dead weight. This did also include one of the female laborers that got pregnant against regulations and thus was no longer able to work.
Also Sall-E makes sure the pancakes have smiley faces on them every morning because it cheers up the upper crew. Oh, and currently Lieutenant Peter and Commander Travis have a joke competition to try and get her to say which one of them she likes the best. Adorable!
while i understand why a lot of sci-fi has humans being shitty to AIs while the AIs are like “i am just existing what the fuck” I think it’d be fun to do the opposite. Homo “will packbond with anything” sapiens DESPERATELY trying to get the favor and friendship of an Artificial Intelligence that is mostly indifferent to them. They want the ship’s computer to like them sooooo fucking bad!!

Hi hi! So sorry to be a bother, but the table of contents in your pinned post doesn't work on mobile (who would've thonked), does it have a tag I can search up or anything?
I hope you have a wonderful day! 💛
Ah shit I need to fix that.
Okay until I do, probably just search the Constructor tag here.

You are an amazing writer! Do you have anyone you bounce ideas off of or who you talk to about your planned stories beforehand?
Yes! Though, not as much for the stories on this blog.
I have a few people that I bounce story ideas with purely for the joy of it. Most of these stories don't see the light of day, though.
I didn't bounce the original Constructor idea with anyone, and I didn't have an idea bouncer for most of the writings that are up. But now that I have a lot of ideas for Constructor that I am having trouble cohering into a timeline, I've started to try to idea bounce with the usual suspects. Most of them are not as into superhero stories as they are into other genres like fantasy and horror, but at least one person has helped me figure out some problems I was having with the latest Constructor story, and helped me come up with an idea that I just haven't written yet.
Ultimately, my ability to write greatly improves when I have someone to talk things out with. And I so I think anyone who wants to write should look for an idea buddy. Multiple idea buddies even, so you can get the benefit of feedback from people with different styles and interests!
#i actually tried to get a writing coach for a while#but I couldn't keep paying for them#anyway I do still poke around for other people willing to idea bounce for original ideas#my ideal situation would be a writing discord with like ~5 people#where we all bounce ideas and give feedback and post our original stories#maybe someday

So how's construction coming along?
So far planning and outlining has me at 7 arcs for the story altogether. The outline for the first 2 arcs is fleshed out, but the need work. There is also a collection of Construcror writings I've done which I have not posted because they're not very good, just me trying to get a better sense of different characters.
I've also considered beefing up my drawing skills so I can write some parts as comics. For now, I'm not settled on that but I have been reading up on how to write comics book scripts so I could have the material and then adapt it to visual medium later on if that turns out to be doable.
I'm going to be pretty busy for the next few weeks but after that I'm going to have more time to work on creative things. I'm still hoping to write a few more snippets for it in the next few weeks, get an outline that I can use done, and then be able to start posting the story in chronological order after new year's.
#This is all goals though#Things are always harder than I plan them to be#I need a better accountability strategy so I kick myself into actually writing and posting stuff for it#Instead of being afraid it won't be good enough

Whenever there is business in Florida for any reason, Constructor stops by whatever house Governor DeSantis is in (first it was the state mansion, but obviously later he had to find other accomodations) and completely unbuilds it. Constructor makes sure to find as much business to do in Florida as possible.

Thanks to everyone who said something in a reblog or in the tags to my last Constructor short story. It's nice to see there are still a few people who are interested, even though it's taking me a long time to write.
#Slowly recovering from the shock of so many people liking it at first#And I have been working on charting a course for the story#So hopefully#I will be able to write faster soon
