really missing this blog these days ngl

#mostly just the fact of having 7 years of my life stored in here. and also the feeling of security that has been hindered because of #[gestures vaguely] deranged people on the internet

Propaganda under the cut.

Wu Zetian:

Did so many murders but was also a really good ruler so like. Ends… could? Justify means?

Miranda Pryce:

She’s one of the show’s two main villains and a mad scientist. She was born with unclear but crippling disabilities but was also a super genius and made herself into a cyborg. In the process she became obsessed with transcending humanity and building a new “perfect “ humanity to her and her partner’s designs. She single-handedly pushed AI development forward by decades and began coding “full-minded” AIs almost indistinguishable from humans. One of these is main character Hera, who tried to escape the facility at one point. Pryce responded by implanting a code line reading “I can’t do this, I’m not good enough” into Hera’s core personality code, basically giving her an AI anxiety disorder that she struggles with throughout the whole series. Pryce also continuously de-genders and mis-names her, referring to her only with her number designation and “it.” Another invention are her “restraining bolts” which are implanted into a person’s brain stem and make them cheerfully creepy subservient zombies. In the finale, Pryce and Hera have a stand off in a constructed mind-space, where Hera gets to punch her in the face and then wipes her memory of everything.

#VOTE for miranda she cannot lose to a real person in a FICTIONAL CHARACTER tournament cmonnnnn

Perihelion/ART:

ART stand for Asshole Research Transport. A bot-piloted anti-capitalist research space ship. Gathers information to use against corporations while posing as a cargo ship. Way more advanced than other bot-AI in the setting. Let Murderbot hitchhike in it in exchange for downloaded TV shows. Cares a lot for it's crew and gets upset when watching TV shows where ship crews are injured or killed. Was ready to bomb a colony that had captured Murderbot before reluctantly agreeing to Three's more covert approach. It's genderless (pronouns it/it's) but it's definitely a girlboss (plus ships have been called 'she' since at least the 14th century, are all ships therefore coded female? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯).

#guys im asking you one last effort vote for pryce🙏 #(yes bringing this blog back with the exclusive aim of skewing this poll lol)

“To speak is to separate. One word cannot be another— A stone is not a tree. Love is different from pain. I am just I, and nothing else. And yet this is a lie, because all things are one; love turns to pain, makes hardened hearts break into leaf, form seeds that fall to earth as stones and burst with love. I am this tree. How can my words come back to truth? Keep open eyes, and never say ‘That cannot be.’ It can, it can.”
