i love the good aquarium au! i want to see the fishes happy 🩷o🩷 How do the sirens interact with mc in this version? 🩷

Sans: He has to wait much longer than his bad AU counterpart to get to 'play' with her. This aquarium is very safety-focused, and unwilling to have anyone even near his open tank, let alone in it. Despite his obvious obsession and courting displays, Mc remains safely behind thick barriers and high out of his reach- the only chance he'll get is if he proves he can behave, and Mc herself is the one who approaches management about the subject of swimming with him.

Her presence clearly has benefits on him, so she spends a lot of time on his shifts, talking to him from up on the railings or entertaining him through the glass, sometimes just doing homework by the dappled blue light of his tank. He does occasionally attempt to pull her into the water, whether he's breaching and knocking the railing or grabbing a feeding pole and yanking it (in the hopes of yanking her in with it)... but he's always unsuccessful.

It gives them time to get to know one another more. Time for him to mellow, realise that just because she leaves when her shift is over doesn't mean she won't come back. Time, so that when they do finally make physical contact, it's a gentle and mutual experience that leaves him feeling like things in his world are going to be okay.

Red: Again, poor Red has to wait a lot longer in this AU to get to swim with his girlfriend. But not as long as Sans. Since Red's so well behaved with humans, his keepers interact with him a lot more closely (albeit while wearing plenty of hand and arm protection), giving him lots of chances to flirt with her close-up. He gets many more opportunities than Sans to show that he can behave with her; though 'behaving' still includes grabbing her butt if she lets her guard down too long.

... In this AU, the aquarium knows Red considers her his mate. Mc does too. After she was suddenly hired, the first thing management did was put her on a pretty intense and in-depth learning course. Now even if he's flirting like a siren she knows exactly what's going on. Initially, it made the aquarium cautious about letting her swim with him- but since he's never going to be released, it might be alright after all. It does make life easier when it comes to things like giving him medicine; he doesn't bite when it's his mate doing the medical checkup.

Skull: Mc ends up interacting physically with Skull a lot sooner than anyone intended. At first, there was obviously zero contact thanks to his kill, she'd only even THINK of interacting physically with Skull if she was completely confident he'd never hurt her. And that kind of confidence would only come from a long while working with him, perhaps years.

... Thing is. He's a clever boy, he wants Mc's affection. And he won't wait years. He makes a 'hobby' out of breaking security measures and pulling her into the tank- at first it's a terrifying incident, but as it happens over and over, it loses its shock value and becomes something of an in-joke at the aquarium. Especially since he never actually does anything... just pulls her in, cuddles her, then politely sets her back on the side of the tank like nothing happened. No matter what they do, Skull just finds increasingly more and more complicated and innovative ways to snatch her into his pool.

Eventually, they can clearly see he's not going to kill her- and they decide it's probably just easier for everyone if she interacts with him in person. He's going to grab her anyway, may as well let him do it before he finds a way to break every security measure they have.

#llamagines #good zoo siren au #love the idea of like. in-world news sites picking up on mc's story #running titles like “This aquarist is accidentally married to three sirens” #“Cute! Watch this shark siren 'flirt' with his keeper!” #“This Deep Sea siren has broken out of his enclosure to cuddle his keeper- eight times!!!”

Sometimes it’s necessary to go a long distance out of the way in order to come back a short distance correctly.

sure i COULD ramble about how ai is one of the multiple things that check all the marks of humanity's seven deadly sins but would that be extreme

^^^ possibly insufficiently educated

#the pride the hubris of believing you can do better than innovation and nature by playing god and not in the fun way #the lust it's being used for in so many awful cases #the sloth the way its encouraging everyone to check original sources less before believing anything. Also to not take time to develop skill #the greed its being used for profit without consideration for ethics or fair labour #gluttony. we always have to be faster. shinier. better. no matter if it ends up being less convenient or wonky #the wrath it sows in between people creating more differences to be frustrated over. more hatred #the envy how it takes and takes. always trying to be as clever as the best humans. as beautiful as a real forest or sunset. #do you think the ai wants itself #if this were a scifi movie would we be the bad guys #but this is not a movie and the ai cannot love us. so we cannot love it. and there's that #my post #personal stuff #thinking aloud just silly yapping n jazz 没啥事做就这样咯~ #(￣▽￣)~* #when i was in primary school our textbooks for chinese had short stories and articles to learn about #there was a fictional scifi oneshot about a family in the future going to the zoo #the scifi zoo trip was going great until the zoo's systems went offline for a moment #and it was revealed that all the animals roaming in their enclosures were holograms #the real ones went extinct ages ago #when the computers came back online the holograms returned and there they were #honestly at first I thought it was a bit exaggerating #but I still think about it once in a while

[spop-romanticizes-abuse]

i know a lot of people criticized steven universe’s portrayal of war and while i agree that there were some parts that were handled badly, most of it was pretty well-written.

unlike spop, they don’t act like war only affects the heroes and the villains, we see various characters like lapis, jasper, the cluster, the humans in the human zoo, etc. who were not part of the war in any way but were still horribly traumatized by it. similarly, all the characters treat war with the seriousness that it deserves (i believe there was a quote by greg that was something like “there’s nothing good about a war” when steven points out that rose won). it doesn’t use war as an aesthetic backdrop that only matters when one specific character is affected by it.

i don’t understand people who criticize su for its portrayal of war, then praise spop for writing a “tragic story where two lovers were separated by war”.

#also i saw a lot of people who probably didn’t watch su talking about how messed up the human zoo was #and acting like the writers of su didn’t know that?? #GIRL. THAT WAS THE POINT. #it’s SUPPOSED to be fucked up #these people were like “are we not gonna talk about the human zoo who thought that was okay” NO ONE lol #the story acknowledges how fucked up it was how do yall not get that #it’s not like they were romaniticizing it or making it a joke #idk man people just find any reason to hate on su #spop critical #spop salt #spop #spop discourse #spop criticism #she ra #anti spop #steven universe

Finally got around to watching Puss in Boots: The Last Wish

and

100% honesty here?

I smiled-to-grinned-helplessly at every second of it! It is SO charming and SO expertly animated! The comparisons to the Spiderverse movies I've seen so far are 100% warranted and I genuinely hope loads of CGI animated movies follow these patterns/designs in the future because they're just SO refreshing to watch in a... maybe "engaging" is the word to use? You feel like you're IN the animation, reacting eagerly TO it, rather than sitting tiredly as you watch a rough draft with a few key splash pages go by.

I dunno. YouTube keeps recommending me people bleh-dunking on Disney's Wish and from what clips of that movie I've seen it looks SO dull in comparison to Puss. Like, I have 0 clue what Wish is about! I've seen maybe 4 5-10 second clips of it at most. There's a goat? The protag's bestie (besties??) are based on the 7 Dwarves? There's like 50 references to older Disney movies because it's supposed to be a celebration of Disney's 100th?

But strictly speaking from a visual perspective/demonstration/execution/exultation of animation prowess? Puss is INCREDIBLE. On a strictly visual/style comparison there is NO comparison. I'm speaking honestly here; I couldn't HELP but grin watching every second of Puss. It's a delight just to watch. I'd say that even if the story bored me and that is NOT the case. The story is SO GOOD. The story makes it an EASY 10 times better than what the brilliant visuals promised. It is SO worth the dollars I dropped on a rental watch of it, and it's definitely a movie I (a person who is NOT interested in movies until years later at BEST) would be keen to watch again.

#A VISUAL FEAST THIS IS #also a minor character's voice actor has the EXACT same name as both an uncle AND a cousin #because my extended family loves reusing names to DEATH #i'm saying this as a goddamn Lorelei. NOBODY has my name. #i'm in my 30s and i have NEVER met another Lorelei IRL #if i'm allowing wonky spellings/same pronunciations I met a... Loreleigh? i think? at the San Antonio zoo in 2015 #and i've got a distant COUSIN named Lorelei who's. idk. in grade school now probably? maybe middle school? #extended family is weird #point is. Movie Good. Couldn't Help But Grin Throughout. #also john mulaney is in it and that was a delightful surprise nobody spoiled me on #ANYWAY i paused like 50 times just to marvel at how GOOD this movie LOOKS #never mind the VERY GOOD story #it LOOKS SO GODDAMN GOOD TO WATCH #also the Wolf's design was 100% influenced by Diablo 3 TELL ME I'M WRONG #also also the side character FAMILY dynamic??? i'm dying. i love them. #i saw the first Puss movie in theaters back in what. 2011? i should've expected i genuinely good goddamn story from the start

Videogames I wish were real #59

A game where you run a wildlife sanctuary for magical creatures. You can build and decorate the habitats of each animal however you want (while always keeping their needs in mind). Some magical creatures have a very specific diet, so you have a small farm in the sanctuary where you cultivate the special plants you use to make their kibble. Your house is also in the wildlife sanctuary, and sometimes you cook in your kitchen the favorite dish of a creature to celebrate a special occasion. Shortly after you started the wildlife sanctuary, you started posting pictures of the animals online. Posting cute pictures of dragons and unicorns every once in a while helps to get the word out about the sanctuary. However, the wellbeing of the magical creatures is your main priority so visitor tours are very limited, which is why most of the income of the sanctuary comes from the physical and online store where you sell chimera keychains, jackalope plushies and all kinds of merchandise.

Similar games that actually exist: Fantastic Haven (suggested by anon), Let's Build a Zoo, Super Zoo Story, Planet Zoo
