This is my rw au(Project Triple Affirmation), it takes place in a setting where the Ancients are still alive. One day, Looks to the Moon announces that she has found the Triple Affirmative—the answer to the Great Problem: to eliminate death by uploading all consciousnesses to a virtual reality, for without death, there is no rebirth, thereby breaking the cycle. She sees herself as the savior of everything, granting an ethereal eternity.
To put it into simpler words: Moon with her local group killing everything and uploading their victim’s consciousness to FP’s processor(a virtual reality).
While Moon claims that her plan “Solves” the Great Problem, her real agenda is far more radical: she wants to play god. To create a new world in her vision.
There’s still a lot more lore in this au, I’ll slowly get to them in my later posts.
bi ppl especially in public spaces are just completely fucked no matter what huh. come out and you're lying/actually gay/actually straight/want attention. don't come out and you're 'queerbaiting', or 'appropriating queer culture'
an 18yo being forced to come out bc a bunch of ppl wouldn't stop harassing them. constantly talking about how him holding hands with a girl makes him straight. accusing a real live person of queerbaiting.
ppl don't owe you their sexuality. they don't owe you shit
Important tip for trans men/transmascs/whoever needs the reminder: Even if you pass as a man to cis people, you still need to have either some form of self-protection on you (e.g., mace, knives (if you can use them effectively), ect.) or know some form of self-defense. Please take it from me, you don't know what will happen out there at any given time.
You might assume that if you pass as a cis man to cis people, you will be safe from any harm. While I wish that were true, it simply isn't the world most of us live in. Please do whatever you can to protect yourself out there.
if my abusive ex had just murdered me and instead of apologizing he gave me a poppy and said i was doomed to forever be the person that he tried to make me i would also punch him. jimmy solidarity had the right idea
edit: dear kind viewer youre not the first person to tell me not to maintag this. this note has already been taken into account. thank you
to be clear I’m very much not mad at henry cavill for leaving and I’m not even mad at liam hemsworth for wanting to take the role but— and I mean this very disrespectfully— what in the world are the show runners thinking replacing the main character 4 seasons in?? I would like the minutes of that meeting please
Y’all I’m begging you, please please PLEASE we can not go into this book expecting jerjean. Absolutely NOWHERE has she herself hinted at that pairing that was US that made jerjean
I don’t want people to get mad at Nora and threaten her again-
Over something she never promised us.
Go in with no expectations and hopefully we get pleasantly surprised
five tiny stones almost fucking dies because dumb dumb idiot head forgor
idk I was just thinking of pebis and this idea entered my brain so had to draw some of it
also yeah I made meanerator a doctor
Also to finish this off I'll explain a bit about what happened and a littler bit about modernerator anatomy. Basically the rarefraction cell of an iterator is like their heart/main power source. It powers pretty much everything. What happened was the uncured rot spread to where his rarefraction cell is and broke through, damaging it and "killing" him. The thing is the cell isn't damaged beyond repair and they caught it right before most of his systems completely shut off so he can still come back. Problem is he's running on lower power so for the moment he'd be as responsive as saint pebbles. Also with the amount of time needed and his current state, it'll be hella hard to keep it away from suns. Even though they're doing better they could still relapse. Hella iffy situation but voids below is it yummy.
sooo if ted is gone now will capril (cassandra x april) ever be a thing in your au? (i love ur au a lottt btw so well written!)
Thank you so much! As I've said in the past, I'm really trying to avoid actual ships in canon Replica! Like the tv show I do not want to make that the focus, HOWEVER I do want to leave it open ended in the same manner so that there's room for your own interpretation! So if you feel that there's Capril is in this Holiday Special... then there is!
For example: isn't it interesting that April is the only one Cassandra told about the pregnancy? Hm, that could easily be interpreted as just "girl talk" (since she's a woman and would understand better than the guys) or "lover's talk." Again I'm trying to leave this open for your personal preference! The same will go for several other ships, including Raph and Cassandra and even Donnie might have a little something going on the sidelines with a character I'll be bringing back in an upcoming update. Hehe.
Now, I will admit I have my personal preference of ships (I'm a huge romantic and have to really rein it in), but I keep them close to my heart and think that's a little unfair to enforce that onto a story that I want to try and keep "canon" when the canon has never confirmed any of them or even played in that space.
Apparently birds can't see windows because they have less depth perception and their eyes are super sensitive so they just think their reflection is the real deal. But i do think it's funny if Suns still crashes into windows because glass isn't exactly common in iterators
Idk I think if you're depicting any animal semi-seriously in media the least you can do for it is to try searching for some references in a natural setting. Especially in a medium like animation, referencing behavior is just as important as physiology. Sometimes the clearest photos of a species are in a very distressing context for the animal. Some people only know certain animals for how they look/behave under extreme stress. This is why I love camera trap footage so much as reference.
What I'm saying is if you're tasked with designing and animating an otter or a fox and your only videos referencing them in motion where captive pet videos I'm gonna be disappointed
You can tell when someone's put thought and effort into their depiction of a species, no amount of rigging or polygons can create believable animal behaviour*. Like to me the aristocats is a really cute movie because despite being anthropomorphized the kittens still behave like cute kittens!!
It's hard to find modern animation with great animal acting similar to Kahl's. It's either fully anthro movement or behaves like a dog, and I do think this oversaturation has some negative effects on our relationship with animals. Our society has become so based in narratives and stories and so many of our stories have misleading or fabricated beliefs about animals and how they behave
*except for that guy who made a program in C++ to simulate starling murmurations
