#a bug in the system

[pyreo]

Reminding everyone real quick of A Bug In The System’s trailer, probably behind All or Nothing’s as the best content anet ever produced

Light and bouncy Mission Impossible style heist setup

Artistic title cards so even a non-player gets the characters

Sudden 180 shift into creepy and weird

Sombre, dark Fear Not This Night starts up

The classic ‘fucked up ruined lab’ aesthetic with rogue magic pouring everywhere, workstations encrusted with tar

Shot of an Awakened Abomination’s hind legs and tail down a hallway so you can’t quite tell what it is like horror classic Alien

Shot of several Awakened obscured by gas and a closer one distorted by leaking water so you still can’t exactly tell what they are

The direction of this was so precise, I hope whoever was behind it knows they did a great job

Eeek...

Apparently working on this advice column has opened a channel to the snark side....

Something about the way bibliopunk/punk academia is treated on here Bugs Me and I think it can be best summed up as this:

You can't just throw the "punk" descriptor onto whatever you like and call it an aesthetic

Punk is not an aesthetic

Punk is a mindset, it's a philosophy-- it's a rebellion against societal systems

When I say bibliopunk, I don't mean sweater vests and old library photos and quotes from classics.

Bibliopunk, to me, a punk librarian, is about freedom of information. It's about making sure everyone and anyone can have the resources they need to learn, whatever that means for them. It's no late fees and fighting against censorship. It's defunding the police and funding community resource centers that specialize in making sure there's a place where people can go to ask for help, to read books on any subject they can think of, to connect with events and organizations that exist to help THEM. It's about making zines and learning how to bookbind, because fuck the idea that traditional publishing and Amazon are the only people that can make something a book.

Punk academia, which is used colloquially here, is related to this-- it's saying fuck the academic systems that keep out the poor, the people of color, and the disabled. Fuck your Ivy Leagues, education is whatever the hell you make it. College should be free, classes should be accessible WITHOUT being forced to give up all of your personal financial and health information, curriculums need to include as many varying perspectives as they can because fuck the idea that a cishet abled white man is the authority on any given topic.

Bibliopunk, punk academia, and any other Tumblr "aesthetic" with the punk descriptor is not just a moodboard of photos you stole from Pinterest.

Because what's more punk than a public library?

#punk #dark academia #punk academia #bibliopunk #punk aesthetic #this has bugged me for a while #as someone who really cares about things like literature and writing #but is also very fucking angry at the systems that make them inaccessible to others #the only shit you find on bibliopunk is aesthetic posts #and nothing about actual values #ive thought about writing up like #a bibliopunk manifesto? zine? thing #but thats a lot of spoons #and i am but a small cripple

i just finished volume 1 and Shen Qingqiu makes me so insane like. the level of detachment he has to his surroundings and to HIMSELF... my guy you are in MOURNING. you FEEL BAD and are GRIEVING YOUR FRIEND. yes you already knew it was going to happen, but rationalizing your actions and dismissing your emotions doesnt make them LESS REAL. like. idk maybe if Every Other Person keeps treating you like you're a mourner. maybe its because. you are in mourning? just a thought.

#svsss #scum villain #scum villian self saving system #shen qingqiu #shen yuan #obsessed with him so far. i want to study him like a bug.

i desperately wish gw2 had more food-centric lore. i think about asura food more than is probably particularly reasonable. they're sort of implied to like molecular gastronomy in the lvl500 chef quests which is fitting and makes sense, but surely not every asura is eating bespoke Pea Spheres day in and day out right? i think my favorite angle on them is a sort of 50s-80s american-esque food style where there's a huge emphasis on things being Convenient and Scientific, so you'd get a lot of absolute slop tv dinners and canned items that have labels boasting how they were nutritionally fortified and contained your day's complete vitamin intakes and so on. a lot of jellied things. i do also fully believe they would have + eat soylent.

#my stuff #gw2 asura #asura #plex getting through his day on 2 cups of coffee 1 cup of liquid IV and a Breakfast Bar #goes home and has a kid cuisine. #idk how to explain but asura and like 50s-80s design and culture notions just go hand in hand to me #i want to see them working in little wood paneled cubicles ok #just brazenly smoking at work while typing on an unnecessarily clunky interface #inquest superior calls you into her office. every wall is a mirror. its triangle shaped for no reason. she is wearing shoulder pads. #i just want that 'lower levels of portal 2' energy maybe #(i think this thought started when i was replaying a bug in the system and noticed their offices have SO many potted palm trees) #(i was looking at those plus the neon lights and going like Hmmmm...Miami while being chased by 9458309 plague beetles) #these tags are really rambling on sorry LOLLL

we talk a lot about the symbolism of the repetitive traumas the other characters have gone through, eg. chim being impaled/having his heart stopped, buck needing to save/be saved by loved ones, eddie effectively being cornered/trapped in confined spaces (sometimes by a helicopter, sometimes by being shot at).

but we should definitely further discuss how bobby repeatedly falls victim to structural oversight/damages. eg. how his family died, the owners of the rehab center committing arson and blaming him for it, the snipper who targeted firefighters because of how he interpreted his treatment by the lafd (and committed arson to lure them out), being trapped in the rubble at the call center, and now presumably being seriously hurt in this literal structural collapse. like tell us more about how this public servant in a leadership position is repeatedly falling victim to what is basically systemic shortcomings in the community. like please. i'd very much like to know more about that.

#it's about the metaphor ! #our community systems are repeatedly failing bc they're not properly supported and no one man can hold it all up or fix it all #it takes a village. or a leader who inspires Faith in their charges to invoke real change. #maybe the type of man who's team supports him through a pursuit of sobriety or runs back into a burning building to dig him out of rubble #the type of man who cooks him team meals every shift and teaches them to cook in turn and supports them through their own crises' #i'm 😵‍💫😵‍💫 #bobby nash #911 spoilers #911 #911 fox #911 on fox #bathena #meta #bug attempts meta #911 abc

Hey! I recently started reading some of your yandere alien bug stuff and it’s really interesting! Are you planning on writing any more? And do you think you could maybe make a kinda run down list of each of the types and what they’re like as a group and with their darling? Or even just what the planet it like and how it works/they work in it?

No problem if not!

Thanks for writing and being awesome!

Oh man you must be NEW new

I have some tags that can explore the other aliens bugs I've mentioned, such as yandere scorpions, yandere murder hornets, and I believe yandere moths, yandere butterflies, yandere exophilia, and yandere wasps! Some posts explore their planets while others are just exploring their personality types and so on!

I've been writing about the alien bugs for a few years now so I think a few stories might be lost and buried but yee I've written for the bugs and many types of them before!

Let me introduce you to one of my favorite insects, the humble drain fly.

Also known as the moth fly, we are specifically taking about Clogmia albipunctata. These adorable little cuties are true flies and their natural habitats are swampy wet areas.

"But Alex," you scream, frothing at the mouth, eyes bulging, "Why are they called drain flies?"

While the adults eat nectar or just water, the larvae are aquatic and eat decaying matter. Drain flies have discovered that our sewage system is a neverending supply of disgusting organic stuff just decaying away. Yummy! As such, they can often be found in drains. Maybe you've had drain flies? Rejoice, for you have been blessed.

The best thing about these guys?

They fly like drunk idiots.

They are special little guys, perfect in every way.
