#{(but i have no doubt she'd get there)}

[tswwwit]

i have a counter argument to the 'only one person can boop bill' thing, mabel. she's the type of person to slap stickers on people, she would definitely be the type to also boop others occasionally and bill would be no exception. she probably doesn't do it to annoy bill like dipper would, but maybe as a form of a friendly gesture, kind of like those people who will lightly punch friends in the arm when they hang out.

You know what? Good point. Mabel would get away with more than most, as a fun-loving lady! Bill understands those impulses, and being a touchy person! He indulges in similar ones himself.

Though when Bill's not in the mood to be playful and gets booped anyway? The 'sister-in-law' status grants her considerable grace.

#answers #Though in addition to that - Mabel's general chaos and level of Fun Times is something Bill genuinely likes #Catch these two having one too many margaritas and slinging arms over each other's shoulders while singing too loud and off key #She'd have some leeway even without the brother situation #But Mabel gets a pass on things she normally wouldn't purely on the merit of 'this would piss off the spouse' #The thing about Bill is he's genuinely fun to party with - right up until he decides you're the pinata #Even now there are times when she thinks she's doing something 'cute' and Bill was NOT in the mood but just has to grin and bear it #Instead of breaking fingers one by one #Dipper is singular in his ability to get away with Pretty Much Everything #It's love yest but it's also communication and personality I'm afraid #If Bill DID call Dipper out on doing something Too Far he'd get an embarrassed and apologetic husband. With kisses of sorry. #Though in minor circumstances: he starts arguing with him #Turns out that bickering is a better way to deescalate with Bill than most other tactics and Dipper's a pro #Now Bill's gotta think semi-rationally to Win The Argument instead of acting on impulse. #And in the process of debate he not only: learns where his husband's coming from but has time to cool off #Congratulations Dipper! Your Nerdy Logic brain and ability to Rise to a Challenge prevent Bill from going immediately nuclear #Plus showing off that big sexy intellect of yours doesn't hurt #Whereas I see Mabel pushing one of Bill's few boundaries and then deflecting. She ain't great at conflict #Brushing it off and laughing; Jeez it was just for fun!! Lighten up already! #Exactly what Bill says when HE'S being a dick to someone! #Which is why he'd react Very Badly to that excuse #Ha ha! Fun! Of course Bill loves fun! You know what HE thinks is FUN #Barbecue. Flash-fried pork ribs. Where's that stupid pig #Dipper has to disarm that particular bomb and I highly doubt it's a pleasant process

i want eiffel and minkowski to go camping together so bad, like i know minkowski loves camping. eiffel loves the idea of saying he's going camping. eiffel loves the romanticized pop culture version of camping he imagines in his brain, where he gets to listen to music by the fire and eat smores. eiffel wants to feel like a rugged outdoorsman but, like, with access to modern comforts.

minkowski is actually outdoorsy and likes some challenge, so to her "camping" means long hikes and roughing it as off-the-grid as she can justify. eiffel cannot be taken off grid. eiffel's favorite outdoor hobby is handing someone one of his handmade walkie talkies and being like, okay, stay here, i'm going to drive in that direction and see how far i can radio you from. eiffel is out there building stuff out of their camping equipment to see if he can pick up signals. but when he's actually supposed to set up his tent, he can not do it. maybe he lost some of the parts along the way, but he keeps making it worse, and even minkowski can't salvage it. then it starts pouring rain on them, because of course it does.

eiffel sleeps in the truck and cramps his neck up so badly, and when he wakes up minkowski gives him black coffee and trail mix for breakfast and he looks at it so despondently that she's like ugh, fine, nevermind. and they give up and get breakfast at denny's and go home. and eiffel is like oh thank god, hot water, indoor plumbing, my own bed, i'll never take this for granted again <- guy who spent literally one night in the woods, and also years stranded in space.

#wolf 359 #w359 #doug eiffel #renee minkowski #i'm imagining this has to be because minkowski already had a trip planned but whoever she usually goes with (lovelace?) had to cancel #and eiffel was like hey i haven't been camping in years. and she's like really... you want to go? <- doubt #but she doesn't want it to go to waste and it's safer not to go alone. so... #and then they get there and he starts complaining and she's like yeah. of course. what was i thinking. #and he realizes how much he hates everything about camping. #undecided on how hera would feel about camping if she could. i think she'd like to try at least but #i don't think she'd be intense about it. eiffel's version of camping is probably preferable like not even camping. anyway in this case #i'm imagining she's just like oh you guys are home early and they have the most dead-eyed expressions like they've seen the Horrors

Lady of Winterfell Arya, my beloved. It's canon in my heart until I'm proven otherwise

#the way she's technically the lady of winterfell already because the Boltons are using her name to hold the North #and then there are Northern lords rising up to fight for her #she's such a people's person and she'd be so good with the Northerners just like Ned was and she already takes his lessons to heart #there was a reason she loved listening to her father talk with his subjects and takes note of lessons he gave to robb as his heir #Valiant Ned's precious little girl...Arya underfoot aka the people's princess #she's already learned a lot of valuable lessons and skills + I have no doubt she'll get more experience with the bwb after she returns

i know hoyo is setting up rhine to have good intent and whatever in her trying to 'save' khaneri'ah or whatever; but i REALLY hope they stay with the cruel persona thats been built up for her. because it would be so wonderful to see a character who had good intent in the beginning just get absolutely corrupted; with the inability to ever go back to that prior state purely because of what had happened. also because there is NO way in her turning back after all that shit

#sorry. i dont think theres any good and plausible explanation for rhine to still be a kind or gentle person in general #she can (and SHOULD) have her moments. but it'd make so much more sense (and be much more impactful) for her to be inherently cruel #because look at all the stuff thats happened #i love the indomitable human spirit trope. dont get me wrong. #but rhine has that in the way she WONT stop her research till shes either dead or murdered. she is not gonna be gentle kind and optimistic #she watched all her kids (that she was SHOWN to care for) get very brutally murdered. #had to then go and kill her next creations that she didn't consider perfect (which most certainly fucks a women up. no matter what you say) #made the 'perfect creation' and the way she treated him was obviously a HUGE contrast to how she was before (being gentle and nuturing) #and left him (albeit with what we can guess was good intent) with NO goodbye just #a recommendation letter. a text. and his final mission #she could have good intent #and still care for others #dont get me wrong!!!!!!! #but shes. human??? #humans can be (as much as i hate to say it) a tad selfish when it comes to survival #and being antagonized demonized AND shunned by teyvat and even her own people. having to survive multiple gods wrath #isn't. gonna be good for the human psych #and it isn't gonna be something fixable #look at how furina progressively faltered over a hundered years WHILE being adored #she already started waning in her ethics and morals (as someone immortalized as a human WOULD) #with exposing lyney and all of that when it was VERY clearly the morally wrong thing to do (which her as a human would know) #and being relatively pessimistic and clearly spiralling #(no hate. i love furina with all my heart.) #if thats how FURINA started going #imagine rhine who has nobody (save maybe alice. but i doubt she'd be constant given her spontaneous nature and refusal to sit still) #shit man. even I'D go crazy and be horrible. #its okay and natural to be bitter #and its not as if anybody was there to help #hexenzirkel has a ton of women who survived their own nations falling yes #but not ONE of them (from what we know) has had circumstances any where near rhine's

why are people all talking about maisie opening for taylor?? when and why would that even be happening

If you've never seen a normal-sized house cat who can move a shoe rack, a coffee table, or even a whole ass washing machine before, you should meet........

Posting this from my laptop which is weird, but I'm gonna use the tags to think about an idea for a TMA avatar-sona.

#So like. thinking about it I'd definitely be cursed to the Eye. like no doubt I live and breathe like the gosh dang thing #I like to imagine that it'd be N and she'd definitely get caught up in the whole Noticed a string of things that was awkwardly aligned #and she was able to connect a lot of strings #and by the time she got through it all she'd have already fallen into the clutches of the Eye #She's particularly interested in following around avatars of the Hunt and also harassing avatars of the Lonely. She travels and never #stays in one place for too long thanks to the urge to just get information. #I'm pretty sure the Eye prefers to be discreet but N would love to be on the scene actively watching and taking things in to give a first #hand account alongside her questioning of those involved

i managed to spook myself while talking to my sister about ghosts and whatnot and now pls tell me if your muse is the one who attempts to jump-scare their friend mid-conversation or if they're the one being jump-scared

#i won't lie... i'm the one being jump-scared without a doubt asdfg #chiyo would be the one attempting to scare her friend #kaiya would get jump-scared bc she'd get so engrossed in the conversation and have a heart-attack when you startle her #and she's too nice to purposely scare someone :' )) #but chiyo is a gremlin and lives for the spooky and frights and will scare her friend without remorse #ma'am is cackling afterwards what a jerk ASDF #get ready to ramble | ooc

everybody STAY CALM. i get to pick a movie to watch with my sister this thursday....

#should we play it safe... i could just pick the hunger games #or we could get a little silly with it.... i maintain that she'd like cocaine bear.... #unless we need to play it really safe and then i'll let her pick i guess #although that would be horrible for me and i would without a doubt in my mind end up having to sit there watching fucking. 1/5 little women #i have to paint her nails for like four more things this spring so we have chances do not even worry about any of it...

wtf @ the new csm chapter

#ooogh a few of my predictions came true. was not fucking expecting the amputation though what the fuck. also fumiko kill yourself #'nothing short of a war will compromise this facility' OOOOOOOOOOGGGHHHHHH BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK THAT WAS SO HOT #asayoru please save my sson........ tho in doing so theyre gonna find out that csm is denji so... rip #wonder if they even know csm is there (maybe fami told them?) and/or theyre just going there to #release all the devils they have captive there #to cause chaos #and denji/csm is just an added bonus. if you wanna call it that. what if they go in expecting chainsaw man #and they just see a broken denji on the hospital bed. what then. #cc #denji #csm #.txt #also........ please reze be here please please please #i think shes held captive here and then gets released by asayoru along with denji and whatever other nonsense theyre gonna let free #cuz i doubt she'd agree to have been working with public safety. i doubt she'd go to the chainsaw man church either. #so i think post part 1 she probably went rogue but maybe she was captured before she could escape #i mean there are some people thinking thats not asayoru at the end but reze. i see you and i hear you. i am still betting on asayoru tho. #feel free to clown on me if im wrong tho. i just think reze is being held at public safety like denji is. if they could even get to her #also i love yoshida he is so different from when we first met him hes so resigned and just. dead. #like contrast this scene with the last time he had denji captured. he was all smug back then but now hes just so resigned and defeated

OOC. This is incredibly self-indulgent and I'm not entirely sure if I'll apply it, but the idea of Sam somehow gaining the power to fuse with Little Red? Having the ability to turn into some sort of wolf and rip her enemies apart in a visceral, bloody rage? 10/10 am imagining and cooking in my head.

#;; ᴀᴍᴏɴɢ ᴜs ( ooc. ) #;; the girl who cried wolf ( persona 5 au ) #I just think she deserves to go tear enemies apart... as a lil treat.... #but yeah this? would probably have to come at the cost of her health if ever I actually applied it-- #and no doubt she'd have to sacrifice something or get hurt to attain this kind of power #something something 'nothing lost nothing gained' and the desperation to have her pain /mean/ something in the end #(even if she knows deep down that sometimes pain is just... pain. that there is no reward or high moral lesson.) #(but that would mean the pain she suffered gave her more trauma than it did growth--that it stunted her from normal things) #(and she isn't sure if she'd be able to handle that) #on a lighter note can you imagine her giving some of the thieves a ride on her back?? #or just #her carrying them by biting the back of their clothes like some sort of mama tiger/cat???? #because she would do it if she felt it needed to be done (or if one of them is just being A Gremlin(tm) ashdsak--)

God okay hold on I AM SORRY FOR THE SPAM </3 but I feel like These Specific Images are perfectly representative of the vibe...

By the way, Tsutsumi only actually owns one suit, and a good majority of the time, he'll show up in an all-black ensemble when he wears it to events instead of renting. You could really tell when the pandemic hit because he basically never wore anything but this lol

these ARE the vibe that's EXACTLY it. losing my mind at this goes-golfing-on-the-weekends fit too 😭

#snap chats #you NEVER need to apologize for spam i enjoy it immensely #but more importantly bro they took that pic AT the golf range ik they did 😭 #ALSO NOTHING BUT RESPECT FOR OWNING ONE SUIT INSTEAD OF GETTING A NEW ONE #if it aint broke yk. black works with everything too no ones gonna know.. #AND COMMITTED TO ALL-BLACK how could i be a hater. i could never #but yeah... this is it this the vibe this is the epitome #naw the timing of this is funny i do be drawin shit thats ADJACENT to This Is Their Vibe ☠️☠️☠️ #i dont know if my moms home again today... which would be insane if she was because she'd be home like. every day this week #so i have not eaten yet so i May be insane. ill eat later tho most definitely that is without a doubt so it's all good :)

Kyfbau - after all the babies, does Yelena ever get body image issues? Does she play it off? Is Kate too DTF to even let Yelena entertain the thought because Yelenas mere existence is adrenaline shot directly into her wife's libido?

kate bishop would sooner chop her clit off than have her wife think she's not attractive lol. not even for a minute. obviously every woman has days when they feel like shit and im sure watching your body change like that would have its negative self image moments but...kate's always all over her and very vocal about how hot she thinks her wife is. even if yelena looked physically different i think she would BE WELL AWARE that kate is on board with any and all changes in her appearance.

#kate's like borderline obnoxious about how much she wants to have sex with her wife lol #yelena has told her as much #we saw it in the tomato war chapters #i dont think kate would ever let her have any self doubt #she'd do everythingggggg to fix it and address the problem #okay im still in a hole with asks but im gonna try to get them done tomorrow cuz im fried now #kyfbau #anonymous #answers

Jessamine is Passionate About Fictional AI Sentience But Not Real AI Sentience: An Essay

one thing about me is when it comes to talk of "sentient" AI irl i 100% don't buy it like technology is not that advanced and being able to act like a person doesn't make it a person, however whenever there's a question about if a fictional AI character is sentient i will go to bat for that character's humanity 100% of a time like fuck you they have just as much of a right to personhood as anyone else

i think it's bc in fiction like. all of these characters are fake, so distinguishing between which characters are fake-real and fake-fake is like. why limit yourself to what could happen in our world. like if we're already dealing with a universe where aliens/magic/etc. exists, why can't this android justifiably be as human as anyone else? plus irl almost all AI software is developed as part of this capitalistic hell structure we're in. no matter how "real" or "human" it feels, its function is to make you contribute to its creators' wealth, and its inability to go against this nature can't help but make it feel hollow and inhuman. however, all the best AI characters in fiction are able to go against their designated purpose, often being defined by it, and often being villainized for it

in our real world, the AI's "immoral" "behavior" is a product of it being a Things that serves capitalism. it's not making choices based on a sense of self beyond what it has been told to prioritize, and a lot of times this lack of human judgment can lead to terrible consequences (e.g. mental health AI chatbots that cannot accurately judge a situation and give appropriate advice, employed because it's cheaper than hiring human staff). but in fiction? AI's immoral behavior is frequently a product of it going against its designated purpose, seeing itself as a person and having to make difficult and morally questionable choices in order to strive for the feelings of personhood and autonomy. this is a far more interesting situation ethically (while an AI itself cannot be seen as morally responsible for its actions in our world, in fiction this AI wants to be a person so badly it's willing to commit moral wrongs to achieve its goal, despite the fact that true personhood would allow it to be seen as morally responsible for these crimes) which i think is also why AI characters, especially those that, y'know, kill people, are often very polarizing figures. this conversation can even be taken a step further into the "liking a fictional character does not mean condoning their actions" discourse, but i also often think about well, if you were in the position of this AI character, would you have done the same?

personally i've always found it very easy to empathize with "artificial" characters like clones, robots, etc. and fictional AI is no different. yes, if you're watching a piece of media and expecting the logic of our world, the AI is fake, and incapable of being a person. but if you're watching a piece of media with the goal of emotionally connecting to fictional characters (who are all inherently fake) and exploring universal themes through a heightened setting, AI characters are one of the most interesting tropes to explore this with. personally, I love AI characters because there's something so vivid about knowing you were designed for a specific purpose/life path and ultimately realizing that's not the life you, personally, want to live. your designers and the world around you doesn't even recognize you as a being that should be capable of wanting anything, much less something completely different, so achieving the life you want is an uphill battle of convincing others of your humanity and, when that often isn't possible, having to resort to the most extreme tactics to claw your way out of the life you were supposed to lead. you know no matter how close you get to this ideal life, there's always going to be some part of you that keeps others from perceiving you as "human", but you learn to embrace that and see every mundane experience as a major achievement

this narrative is especially relatable to me as a neurodivergent/nonbinary person, but i think it can be relatable for many different marginalized identities in different ways, or anyone whose "humanity" has been something often denied to them. but because people are often expecting fictional AI to follow the same logic as actual AI, when i defend robot characters who want to kill their human creators, people give me weird looks like i'm advocating for that in real life. listen, if our current AI situation feasibly produced an AI who was invented for one specific purpose but somehow fucking hated her job and was able to pursue a new life and was also queer (all without any of this being by design) then hell yeah i support her, but that's not what's happening. and in our current capitalistic chatbot hellscape where every company wants to convince you that you're chatting with a super intelligent AI friend to get you to pay for a premium membership, sometimes you have to hold fiction and reality to different standards and enjoy this story about a quest for humanity while also accepting that the people this journey applies to in our real world are often the ones being taken advantage of in our increasingly AI-dominated real world.

idk this was originally supposed to be a short post about how it's funny that i'm so goddamn passionate about AI characters in media while also not being into AI in the real world, but then i got thinking about why this is specifically and came to an interesting conclusion imo. tbh it's very surprising that i don't currently have any of my own projects featuring AI characters fighting for their own humanity bc it's a theme i love so much that i've rarely seen done right and i have so many opinions on it. maybe i will write something about this at some point, but for now if you have any pieces of media you enjoy with AI who are absolutely worthy of personhood pls send them my way!

#this post is obviously inspired by how much i love the concept of droid23 and constantly mourn their wasted potential #fans so often reduce them to ''evil doubles'' and have even questioned if emdroid is actually designed for violence #and the writers seem to endorse this villain interpretation #but personally? i think it's so much more interesting to think of them as real people in their own rights #yes their actions are immoral. but if they hadn't made that choice they themselves would never get to live any kind of life #and i think the story's so much more fascinating if this capitalistic structure that brought them into existence just for cheap labor #is the real villain #and the android/clone ''murderers'' while still committing a heinous act are given empathy for how they were forced into that situation #bc the only alternative would be to be denied any kind of personhood #i'm also thinking about cyborg noodle (bc i've been on a gorillaz kick lately) #idk if they've done anything with the character since phase 3 when noodle went missing #but i think it's fascinating the idea of like. noodle was canonically part of a child supersoldier experiment as a little kid #basically being designed for the life purpose of being a soldier. but instead she joined gorillaz to be a guitarist #and then when she went missing murdoc made a cyborg clone of her to be the new guitarist #but as soon as the real noodle came back they didn't need her anymore #and it would also be fascinating to bring cyborg noodle back bc noodle as a character essentially grew up throughtout the phases #(like she was 10 years old in the debut album‚ 14-ish in demon days‚ 18-ish in plastic beach‚ now she'd be in her 30s) #but i think the cyborg would always be a clone of noodle in phase two #so idk i doubt they'll do anything with this bc it's too character-heavy #but i'm very curious what the dynamic would be if they brought cyborg-noodle back. and if she wanted to be seen as her own person #especially if she's very different than the noodle we know today bc the ''real'' noodle has grown separately
