I went to a hippie art school in California. You would lose your mind studying the people there. Vegans? Weak. I knew honest to god freegans. Both kinds.

My Aunt Lynn once gave herself and her family intestinal parasites by dumpster diving for meat a supermarket threw out.

Nothing against freegans actually, I'm all for reducing food waste, but for the love of fuck don't do it with expired beef and pork that've been in a dumpster in 85F heat for hours

#My aunt was a nice lady but the worst cook in the entire world #No concept of food safety whatsoever #Distinct memories of mom taking us to hardees before going over there so we wouldn't be tempted to take a nibble of any of the pork chops

I haven’t watched Dungeon Meshi, but I always enjoy the dashboard osmosis experience and have a peculiar visual memory. Here is what I believe Dungeon Meshi to be mostly about. No complicating experiences with the text, or indeed character references, fed into this extremely clear vision, which I believe I torrented directly from the astral plane at the same time as the creator was logged on

#dungeon Meshi #I think #features Bilbo #This GUY #and Meshi. #this isopod is mostly what I wanted to be doodling. #interesting to me that #the hobbit’s scarf and jerkin are very clear in my memory #and also the Skyrim helmet #but no idea what This Guy is actually wearing so I think I THINK it’s very cunty bishop #sleeves. you know like lantern sleeves. #I love them actually #it’s interesting what you absorb from #scrolling the dash passively when mutuals are into a new #thing #feels a bit like how AI must feel when consuming and regurgitating content! #also it’s obvious that the creator(s?) have developed a VERY visually distinctive character set that can be picked up on instantly #super unusual for anime right? normally they all have the same face? #so it’s quite cool to scroll past an anime with distinctly different faces in it #not to mention body types

People referring to Caldwell as the NADDPod guy makes me feel a million years old. Circa 2015 my at the time best friend got very into early Drawfee and I started watching it because them. I’m a NADDPole now but in my mind Caldwell will forever be the guy who drew Pokémon from memory.

"what if there was a swampman and his life was completely meaningless"

#im sure this thought experiment makes some kind of meaningful claim but im just too dumb to see what important distinction is made here #just seems like davidson doesnt recognize thought and memory are physical structures in the brain that would also be replicated #so i dont really see a reason why he should say the swampman couldnt ''recognize'' anything or use meaningful language

Wait, does the cheating thing on the bond always works? bcs that would be kinda freaky for R!Dipper like imagine you get pinned down by someone in the corner of a br or smthng and then said person kissed you and proceeded to explode into red mist and you literally have no idea what happened.

Also, would the constellation mark be a "cursed" Mark over the years, like you would give birth to a baby and the doctor says "😟 I am so sorry ma'am,,, I'm afraid your baby has the Cipher Companion mark. ( could also be something equally as science-y like Ursa Major, Constellation Calamation, etc idk)" And you just burst into tears.

Would that mean that dipper would get into a special program(demon wrangling program or smthng, demonologist? Maybe)? Or would the parents hide it away hoping that Bill would never take their child away?

(Sorry this au is just very interesting to me,,,, I hope u get more motivation, keep writing author 💪)

These are all options! The fun part of reincarnation AU being left ambiguous is that technically any of them could happen.

#Answers #Okay but for full transparency #I never really figured out what the 'cheating' consequence is #It's a nebulous concept since I've never had to write it happening #And left ambiguous because neither of these two are into anyone else - and as a writer I like to leave my options open! #I would assume that one of the few things they agreed on when making the contract was that unwelcome advances didn't count as cheating #But that the villain in question would get what was coming to them. Very Violently. They wanna step on a landmine? Let 'em have it #Dipper would have made a frowny face at the violence but agreed. Privately thinking well that's actually a *bonus* #A built-in defense system of sorts #(Something Bill was also thinking but absolutely phrased in the possessive aspect) #Whether or not the Consequences kick in before they meet again - their equivalent of their vow renewal - is up for grabs #Dipper trying to fend off someone only to have them burst into flames and/or blood would feel a terrified sense of relief #Who knows! Maybe Dipper has protection but has a chance for other actions before they meet again! #But the odds of that occurring are very slim. Partly due to his general awkwardness #And distinct hesitation on Dipper's part. Even though he *thinks* he should be enthusiastic #He looks at the person he's in bed with and just. It feels weird. Maybe because he hasn't (in his memory) done this before #Great job Dipper!! Someone in your bed and the best you can do is kinda grimace. Real sexy. #If he does ever manage to get up to something it's not even a tenth of the time he has with his husband #Dipper reincarnations are all very unfortunately attracted as hell to Bill Cipher and they're deeply alarmed by it #I do like the idea of different parental groups finding Dipper's birthmark and having different reactions #Perhaps a random incarnation of one of his family members ends up in charge of him one time #The results would vary *wildly* depending on who it was #On a scale of Mabel Mom to Ford Uncle how are you preparing this person for his invitable enhusbanding #(Stan remains pretty much the same but has a lot of bad marriage advice) #Wow that's a lot of tags even for me #I am going to queue this and sleep

I love how Sailor Saturn's spirit protects young Hotaru in the Infinity / Death Busters arc, Dream / Eternal arc, and Stars arc (90's). Like you can see how deadly Saturn is against foes that dare try to harm Hotaru.

me being normal about the fact that Saturn is a distinct personality from Hotaru and acts as a guardian angel to her

#I LOVE SATURN AND HOTARU'S DYNAMIC SO MUCH #Saturn is the ONLY Senshi who seems to be distinct from her civilian form #even Pluto- while having created a civilian form that didn't exist before- is still clearly one person #all the other girls merged their memories of the Silver Millennium with their current day selves #meanwhile Saturn is very much the same personality from the Silver Millennium whereas Hotaru is a new one #IT'S SO COOL I LOVE IT #sailor saturn #hotaru tomoe #sailor moon

After Jason digs himself out of his grave and gets hit by a car? That car held the Fentons, who decided to help him however they could.

-----

[Now depending on where everything is at DP timeline wise, could be before the accident or a little after the accident.]

Anyway, mad scientist Fentons, but still normal, decide that maybe they have something that helps with Jason's recovery.

Either way Jason gets exposed to pure ectoplasm first before getting dipped into the pit.

Maybe partial healing by being around the Fenton's lack of lab safety. If after Danny's accident, maybe he's also helping unintentionally.

#dp x dc #dc x dp #danny phantom #jason todd #when picked up eventually by talia #hes a little more aware #and when he's fully healed by the pit #there's the distinct memory of mad scientists family helping him #so a reunion? #except danny immediately clocks him as dead adjacent #which may snowball Jason's plan #and instead helps team phantom by training them #or reunion after returning to gotham and danny still clocks him with the corrupted ectoplasm #fenton family just happy he's okay #by the way severe cold turned covid

trying to gaslight myself into thinking that in asoiaf every one of the seven kingdoms having a distinct and established regional history, culture, and purpose in the narrative EXCEPT the westerlands isn’t an oopsie oversight but rather a bold metatextual choice on how Tywin Lannister’s quest for legacy is so malignant it has subsumed all the lore of the westerlands until the only thing that was real was house lannister and he IS house lannister and that’s just it.

#or it’s just california. i think it might just be fantasy california #like the westerlands is not distinct from reach or crownlands. why is it it’s own place #it’s full of miners. you’d think there’d be something with that #like tywin spent all his time in KL and accidentally deleted the westerlands lore from the public memory hard drive

always always always thinking abt qcharlie lab experiment theory.

#maybe im working myself up to disappointment #but genuinely I think that this is the route charlie's going down with qcharlie #with things like him saying he /thinks/ hes got “a little bit of human in him” #and his comments about bones and not having them (taking offense to bbh saying he was boneless-- #--telling flippa that “everyone has bones! or so ive heard.” etc etc) #distinctly Having Memories of his childhood and just not talking about it. not knowing a lot of basic fruits and vegetables. #and in the log he and flippa found at the federation office #the employee said they were “surrounded by cages” (qcharlie has said that he and his siblings /grew up/ in cages) #and there was a distinct reference to “a failed experiment” “an abomination” #i am CONVINCED that failed experiment was him. i am CONVINCED he was the abomination the employee mentioned. #he used to be a human child and some experiment they did fucked up SO BAD that they turned him into sludge. #anyways. #qsmp

Ok this is totally fix-it fic territory, just you're the only person I've seen who also doesn't love Eiffel's ending BUT What if after getting far enough away from whatever Cutter was using to block the dear listeners' abilities, Bob gives Eiffel his memory back. They have his brain almost completely copied after all. It would also be interesting to see him struggle with "would I really do THAT?" Like he just has such a hard time believing himself capable of growth and having positive impacts

oh, i honestly don't even think it's fix-it territory! i genuinely think he will regain his memory at some point; i think it makes narrative sense.

whether it's possible, with what the show sets up? the dear listeners are only invested insofar as it might impact the process, but, like you said, they could restore eiffel's memory. maybe even without active involvement. lovelace's blood was still working on eiffel (slowly, which might even make for a stronger case) a few days before the events of the finale, and memory is clearly a consideration in the 'pattern' of duplicates. maybe the regenerative properties apply to memory, too. and pryce scanned eiffel's brain back in ep 55, with the same kind of machine that was meant to instantly relay hilbert's memories back to canaveral; it's plausible there could be a backup.

... but even if none of that were the case! wolf 359 is a character drama, and what's important is what it says about eiffel. doug eiffel, who has spent so much of his life running from himself, whose character arc is about confronting and coming to terms with all of the people he's been, and his impact on the lives of the people he cares about. wiping his memory - if it's meant to be permanent - feels like a fulfillment of that wish, and it would be kind of. at odds with the themes of the show, when in every case it takes such a stance against attempted martyrdom. but as a set up for self-reflection and self-confrontation? i think it makes perfect sense, for someone who externalizes as much as eiffel does. i don't think restoring eiffel's memory is a cop out or fix-it any more than lovelace not actually dying is - it's not a tragic sacrifice, it's a narrative catalyst for character development. or, at least, that's how it makes sense to me.

i won't get too into the rest of my reasoning, since i know it gets long and it's mostly stuff i've talked about before, but! i do actually think the finale is a good narrative choice, i just feel differently about it than a lot of people seem to. maybe because the writers talk so much about their fondness for earned happy endings - that a happy ending is most impactful when you really think there won't be one - i just can't see wolf 359 as a tragedy. the simplified version: if "am i still doug eiffel?" is unanswered, then that's a whole set of unexplored themes. but if "am i still doug eiffel?" is a question with an answer - if the rest of the show, the repeated affirmation that other characters are who they decide they are despite their respective identity crises, the thematic context, "wanna find out together?", if all of that is the answer - then that final scene is an encapsulation and reaffirmation of the show itself. in my opinion, that makes for a really good ending.

#obviously i'm leaving a bunch of stuff out since i've talked about it before and it's impossible to cover all of it every time #and i will reiterate there's a distinction between. whether he's still eiffel. which i think is a pretty clear narrative yes #and whether he should get his memory back. which i also believe for overlapping but separate reasons. #but... you know!! thank you for asking. it's such a complicated topic but i do genuinely believe this makes the most narrative sense #and re: eiffel not believing in his own ability for growth. yes! exactly. i think it's notable that when he's listening to that early log #he first asks 'am i still that same person?' which is a very different question from 'am i still doug eiffel?' #the person in that log was doug eiffel. but not the same person. even before he lost his memory. #doug eiffel #wolf 359 #w359 #asks
