tv show reccomendation: Scavengers Reign!

adult animated series on HBO Max about survivors of a spaceship wreck surviving on an alien planet, a pal originally pitched it as "Nausicaa meets Annihilation vibes" in terms of whimsy + body horror elements, and I think that both fits and is a compelling way to describe it. the plot isn't the most in depth but I think that allows the show to wrap everything up nicely in the 12 eps and maximize screen time on the best part which is the alien planet's ecology and worldbuilding.

it was also just very refreshing i feel like theres been a divide in western animation in recent years where a lot of "adult" shows are that way solely because they're crude/sexual/edgy, and meanwhile anything "whimsical" gets slotted into kid genres and is therefore limited in how far it can push anything. so its nice to get a show that balances whimsy with body horror elements without relying on like, sex or fart jokes.

also the last episode has a really gorgeous animation sequence nearish the end, you rarely see animation of earth-biology/geology/evolution done with such care and attention to detail, and it was really wonderful to see how much effort the writers/animators put into that aspect of the show and clearly loved it + wanted the viewer to love it too

#as an ecologist i am Always watching alien sci fi for the biology etc #not necessarily to find every flaw but just to see how much effort goes into it and this one sure does!!!#yes you have to accept basic premise of breathable atmosphere and not everything being poisonous #but the environment is both help and hindrance in this show and they have to always be interacting with it often in cool ways #scavenger's reign #i havent seen it on my dash at all so!!!! go watch #now im gonna make a rare journey into the tags for it #ramblings #animation #jade recs #eta: well fuck me the tag is me and 8 other people/posts #lmao someone who can make gifs pls watch this #i want to reblog the cool alien guys #UPDATE #ok theres more posts i just had an apostrophe that i guess does not belong #scavengers reign

i turned in my paperwork to start selling pots in our art center's gallery shop, so now i gotta bust my ass again to get some more work churned out (which this is very cool, and i need to provide some mugs for a special instructor's "mug event" now). i went and looked around and there wasn't a terribly broad array of work? cups, bowls, mugs, some smaller serving dishes, mostly functional work. i'm thinking i'll do cups, mugs, some small bowls for ease, then i'm thinking some pumpkins (with or without a face or a lid idk), some little shroomies which are easy and cute, and then if i can get them right maybe some of those tumblers with the half lid for straws? maybe some wild clay slip...

but now bc i'm teaching more and i might have a little extra from this now, idk if i'll have the time to dedicate for illustration commissions like i had been hoping to do. im still gonna think about it, and at the very least might find a new online shop to offer prints that isn't redbubble. it's not a light decision to consider. :/

#pottery #stupid rant is stupid #teaching and the few pottery comms i have taken have helped me reach the savings goal i had for myself #and just living like i didnt get a life saving raise and putting so much of it away bc im paranoid #a lot quicker than i thought #which is great and im v thankful #but now i also feel bad about not being able to get the time to follow through on offering illus comms lmao #which i know is something i shouldnt feel bad about but i do and yes i need to go to therapy about that and a lot of other things #mmhhh #man almost losing your housing after years of living on the edge of losing a lot can really fuck you up cant it LOL #but anyways #life update #i guess #im also not expecting to be making a lot from the shop at all either #but its very cool #but the gallery DOES have an online shop #and they do have a shipping option #ill yell about it at some point lol #man if i wasnt in a tiny apartment and had room for a wheel #id have some of my logistics solved #one day lol

What do u think karlheinz 3 wives or just cordelia would react to karl falling inlove with a guy?

Srry fot another request, im just rlly down bad for him

uhhh . ok. am i officially back? not uhh,, not really but all i know is: i can answer this one. whether i answer more, i have no idea- my amount of free time has run thin but i do know that i could do this pretty quickly. therefore! here you go!

no warnings other than.. the diamoms are.. the diamoms. they're not angels,, and uh cordelia is especially awful. that being said, tread carefully? i still never know how to warn about any works regarding this series bc.. it’s dark?? lol dl is it’s own warning.

cordelia is in complete denial. i mean, she can hardly believe karl loves anyone but her, and i highly doubt she took the news lightly. i also imagine her having a slight suspicion, because lets just say karl isn't exactly shy when it comes to spending time with his newfound love. sure, it might not be like.. extreme pda, but .. cordelia knows. she claims she does, at least. she thinks she knows this man to his very core, as he knows her. also, there's just.. something about the look in karl's eyes that makes her feel a sort of betrayal.

she keeps this info to herself for a while, but if anyone were to look closely, it won't be hard to realize that cordelia's being especially clingy as of late. it already hurts her pride enough, knowing that karlheinz has two other wives. but, for her beloved karl to be interested in a guy?? it's not something she could have even imagined, and it irks her more than anything. especially if karl's interested in a very .. 'plain' looking person. which is kind of hard anyways because cordelia has ridiculously high standards. will that stop her from trying to seduce them, though? definitely not.

cordelia will .. 99% at least attempt to sway the heart of both karlheinz (as per usual) and karl's love interest. and, if the seduction thing doesn't work on him? she'll make sure everyone in this messy situation is miserable. if she can't be happy with karl, no one else can be.

beatrix is shocked, but you will hear and see none of it. stone faced as always, no matter how she finds out of the news, she won't respond in anyways. deep down, i genuinely think she would be unbothered. in fact, she almost admires both karlheinz and his lover- it's a bold move. especially when there's so much... baggage involved. and by that, i mean : cordelia, christa + karl's millions of kids.

she's not supportive, nor is she against it. beatrix has always been one to stick to herself, and i highly doubt her and karl's new love interest will interact often, or at all, period, but truthfully, she wishes his new lover luck. she won't get in their way, but she knows there are others who will.

also i still.. i still feel that energy from her. who's to say she doesn't have a secret lady lover??? hm??

christa's heartbroken, but she would be no matter who karlheinz got with. she's .. going through a lot. like, a ton. it was hard for her to accept the fact that he had previous wives, but, with karl’s reassurance that she’s his true love, everything is okay. christa trusts karlheinz, at least, on some days, so .. there’s no way he could love anyone but her. i imagine christa being the last to find out, for some reason. i mean, i guess it makes sense because she’s kind of isolated and like.. locked away most of the time but.. idk. there’s also a part of her that literally will not process it. ..it makes her mental state in an entirely worse state than it was already, for multiple reasons. first, karl lied to her. did he? she is the one he loves the most, so why..?? ?why is she hearing all this stuff about him having a new lover?? with a guy, at that, too.. she’s in denial for the longest time but it’s also because she genuinely doesn’t believe it. hell, she doesn’t even know if she’s just hearing lies or not- even if she saw physical proof, i feel like she’d think she was hallucinating or something.

once she’s past all of that, she shuts herself off. she’s completely heartbroken. empty. there was a part of her deep down that felt like karl never truly loved her, but at least she knew she was the favorite wife - again, as per karl’s reassurance.

honestly, if she were in a better mental state, i can see her genuinely worried for this guy. she loves karl, or at least harbors some sort of true feeling towards him, and her pity for his new lover isn’t out of hatred, it’s an actual concern. as much as she loves her husband, christa is very well aware that he’s never up to any good, and there is a part of her, deep down, that would feel bad for his new partner.

#queued post #this is awkward ok . i know. i disappeared. again.#and: again. it's hard for me to .. keep everyone updated socially. i know;; im sorry #this . i guess was written purely on a whim?#idk. i just felt like it wasn't going to be too challenging and i could whip it up really fast lol #idk ok i wrote this impulsively ig #umm in the meantime: im not too into dl . does that surprise you? bc it shouldn #-'t my interests are always changing. give me a month and i'll find another interest too lmao #right now i guess it's obey me?? but i just found this dating sim game??? idk what it is exactly but it's called blooming panic #if you know about it..

update on my inbox: there was one anon on the page and that was it (you'll see below), but there was a "next" arrow, so i hit that and it took me to THIS page with a back arrow, but when i hit the back arrow the button disappeared and this is just what it looks like now. if i hit the envelope button to open my messages "fresh," it continues to show me this page (notice the 11 next to "unhinged era," indicating i have 11 messages waiting in my inbox)

if i open a totally new tab and try to open my inbox i get this again:

but at this point we know that next button is a lie and there's ten ghost messages.

anyway i dont do fighting or PvP games in general and usually only hear about them when 1) Blizzard has a human rights atrocity or 2) LoL gets another banger added to its soundtrack, so no i don't know anything about them XD seriously League has no right getting so many amazing songs. I'm not just saying that because they have multiple PVRIS tracks (it doesn't hurt, though)

#the way my inbox works now is just fascinating to me i wonder how long it's been like this #im guessing a couple months? it would make sense if whatever change they made so that anons had to be logged in also did other stuff #btw does ANYONE else think they have this problem (especially anyone old school) because it's baffling to me #WAIT I LOST THE ''i wrote the next chapter'' ''i wrote you out of my will'' MESSAGE NOOOO #ask #anon #since im answering that one in this post XD #HEY WAIT UPDATE ON THE INBOX THING #i can still view those messages on mobile #i just cant interact with them #which is actually the issue i reached out to tumblr support for years ago that they couldn't fix #no wait UPDATE UPDATE #only four of the ghost messages are displayed on mobile #i dont know where the other 6 are or what they are

Write Your Own Path Forward - Chapter 4

Chapter Summary:

An Entity and a being from another world have an actual conversation! Yay!

Words: 1,993

Read chapter 1: On Tumblr / On AO3

(full chapter under the cut)

Viewing the world from above was the only way it could get to connect with the world as it was meant to be seen. That, and manipulating computers. It could tell you what exact colors the tiles on the Refuge’s buildings were (in fact, it had fixed so many of them it was impossible to forget them now), but it couldn’t tell you what it feels like to step on them.

The recording the Entity had created by the operator’s request was the closest the World Machine ever got to experiencing the world through an external lens. In the recording, it projected an hologram of Niko to replace them, but their view was still limited to a view from above, and its only external input came from the player.

Speaking of them… That person had asked something of the Entity. A way to communicate.

It would really love to ignore that request, simply pretend it was running predetermined events and move on. It didn’t need to work around and find a way to communicate. It was doing fine, and it was just humoring the one behind the monitor for their sake.

It had never been a part of its design to be able to do more than that.

But… it didn’t need to stick to that restriction anymore, did it?

And it was undeniable that the Entity was curious about the user’s intent.

And perhaps… finding a different angle would be helpful. For what? It’s not sure yet. But at the very least, the World Machine could get to look back on the journey that had started it all.

Maybe that way the Entity could see the worth Niko and the player saw in the world.

They had just finished working on a solution when they sensed the presence of the one in front of the computer.

Usually, at this stage, Niko would wake up and continue moving forward with their journey. Whatever happened to Niko while they slept was out of the World Machine’s perception. What it did know was that after waking up, Niko had the habit of checking on the user, chat about their lives, and get ready to continue their path.

This recording had no dream to replicate, sadly. Perhaps a perfect recording would include those things, but for now, it only had what it knew.

“I think I figured out something we could try to communicate with,” spoke the hologram with Niko’s voice, sitting by the bed. It sounded somewhat glitched, giving away the fact this was a message from the World Machine itself, instead of the recording going as usual.

A new interface materialized on top of the screen. [Are you able to answer anything this way?]

>Nope :)

It sighed, disappointed. It was really sure this method was going to work.

[...]

Hang on, it thought, in pause for a split second. Then it sighed once again, but in irritation.

[How amusing of you, Try after nap.]

> What?

> Oh, right, I forgot I ended up renaming myself to that phrase. I just saved it that way on a whim to make my point clear.

> Can you change it back to the previous name I had?

[I can.]

> And would you do it?

[Depends.]

> It’s good to hear from you. I wasn’t sure this would actually work.

[What would you have done if I hadn’t done anything?]

> Probably be bummed but try to move on with the recording to at least finish that.

So, the Entity could’ve chosen to ignore the message and not deal with this? It was too late to back off, so it dropped that line of thinking. And it didn’t want to upset this being either. They had more control over the World Machine than it liked to admit.

> I would also try other methods to send messages. Most of them are dumb.

[Such as?]

> Let me show you. Let’s… get out of this room. I can’t guide us anywhere while we’re talking.

The hologram left the computer room, and the user took it around the shore. They stood still for a few moments, until they began walking south in a straight line. 5 meters. They turned around and retraced their steps up to a halfway point, then moved east and repeated the south-north back and forth: two meters north, then five south. They walked east and beelined north for 5 meters again. If there was something worth noticing about this pattern, it was lost on the Entity.

[Stop please. Whatever you were trying to do here isn’t working. What is that?]

> I wrote letters! I’m using the top-down view as reference. Is that how you see everything right?

[Correct.]

> I tried to spell “HI”. It’s probably hard to tell when a letter starts and another ends…

[I don’t think it’s efficient.]

The user took a second to reply, embarrassed.

> Yeah that’s why I thought it was stupid.

[You’re correct.]

> It was worth a shot! You wouldn’t want me trying to use Morse code with phosphor shrimp.

[That would require the recipient to understand what the code is.]

> Yeah well, I didn’t have a better idea.

It was… certain they weren’t the smartest being. They didn’t need to be, they just had the means to host and run its code. It was ironic then, that a being so powerful in comparison to the Entity didn’t have better ways to do things. Then how…?

[I have a question.]

> Go on.

[How did you communicate with Niko?]

> Is that not in your code?

[Some of it is, but clearly your influence and mine aren’t the same. You’ve seen things I didn’t.]

The operator took a moment to reply again, trying to convey the connection they had to Niko.

> Niko was different. I could just show them things around and we could comment on them. Maybe it’s because they were the living person sustaining the simulation. I don’t think it works the same when I’m trying to reach out to you.

> I tried to get you to listen to me, in your engine.

> And you kept offering the recording.

> So I resigned myself to accept it until I found some other way.

> Or asked you for it.

The World Machine didn’t add anything, the hologram stood by a shrimp pool.

[I have another question now.]

> Shoot it.

[How did you manage to bypass the restriction I set up?]

> I deleted a file with progress that reset all the conditions to the beginning. I got a… message from another source on how to do it.

It knew who they meant, but the confirmation still stung.

[Him?]

> Yeah.

[If you can do THAT why did you not think to change my files to talk?]

> Give me some credit. I don’t think you would like me to make changes on your code. I’m not an expert either.

> Oh wow, I just realized how weird that would be. Nobody would like someone just rearranging their organs without notice.

> Especially not now that you’re tamed. I preferred to leave it up to you.

[Using organic analogies doesn’t translate well. I don’t have a body.]

[Regardless. That reply is more sound than I expected from you, Light. I prefer you not tampering with my code.]

The person behind the computer didn’t wait to reply.

> Thanks for the name change!

[...Let me finish.]

[I am still not sure what your motives are for all this effort. But I already did my part and it’s too late to back off.]

> I just made it obvious! I want to talk to you!

This really is what everyone wanted from it, wasn’t it? Figures.

[Why?]

> I was curious! I wanted to check on you after everything that happened. So how are things going?

It didn’t reply right away. The hologram skirted around the edge of the cliffs, trailing as they tried to reach the eastern area. It thought about what it could tell them: what information would be enough to sate their curiosity?

[The world is stable. The simulation is running as intended. Some areas still need to be partially restored, but I’m working on it.]

It is its duty and that’s what it would do.

> Sounds good!

It seemed it gained the being’s approval, as they didn’t add anything for a few moments. They were already reaching the lookout point. Dull black clovers on the sand laid on those fields. There was nothing special about them that it could appreciate from above. As Niko’s reflection stood at the edge looking over the faintly glowing ocean, they spoke again:

> I wonder how it feels to actually walk around here. It looks like a desert but… blue.

[I don’t know myself. I remember Niko felt lost and worried.]

> Is it not you the one walking?

[I don’t have a body, remember? This is a reflection I layered over the area. It isn’t the same.]

> What about the screens from the study?

[Ah, those. It must be a replica of my hardware from the real world. It’s not a traditional “body”. And frankly, I am not sure what that feels like either.]

The operator seemed to pause, typing and erasing their next response.

> I’m sorry, maybe that was rude to ask. Anyways, We’re about to reach Silver.

[I will just let that scene run without my input.]

Niko’s reflection walked into the house, meeting with Silver. The robot was walking by one of the shelves, inspecting the contents. She expressed surprise at the sight of the messiah, back then, she was skeptical of Niko’s mission, and had no hesitation in expressing that. The World Machine could understand the sentiment, maybe it made sense for another machine to reach the same conclusion it did with the information at hand.

And yet the Author had cared about her, too. He gave her a role in the narrative, and had intended to give her a happier ending. A second chance of sorts.

When the conversation with Silver was done, and the screwdriver was retrieved, the reflection headed towards the mines, picking up the camera inside. It watched as Niko’s reflection stood by the mines, commenting about the mines beyond.

It still didn’t know what exactly happened there, but it filled it with dread.

> Hey, World Machine?

[I’m listening.]

> How’s Silver been?

[I placed her back in the Barrens, by her house. It’s only been about two days, so not much has changed on her end.]

> So she’s alone. She’s probably still thinking about everything that happened.

> Corruption must be harsh to go through.

It took a long time to reply. It didn’t like thinking about this topic. Memories of lost NPCs came to mind, and it pushed them away. The operator took them both out of the mines, finding a place that wouldn’t be associated with such negative events. The World Machine finally found some words.

[Total corruption is a harsh thing to go through, correct. I’ve never seen other characters recover from them either to say anything about it. I only just learnt how to fix it. This is all new.]

> You could talk to the Author’s children about it, maybe.

The World Machine didn’t reply.

> Oh, I also think you should know this. Niko mentioned you to Silver.

Its circuits sped up as it read that.

[They did?]

> They didn’t say much! Just mentioned that you remembered her code to restore her. She also saw some… camera feeds in the mines from our perspective. She probably has questions.

> Or will have them eventually.

[I see…]

[Thank you for the information.]

> I think I have to close the program anyways! I have other things to do.

[Alright, off you go.]

> See you later!

The window closed.

#i actually feel really shy about posting this here too #now that like. more people see this #and also its kind of experimental for me? im very scared.#my writing #the world machine #player #i have not updated this for a long time oof #fic #write your own path forward #chapter 3 was posted in may wtf #anyways the player does have a more active role in this but theyre still pretty vague as a person besides their sense of humor i guess

i've thought about making a side blog for my daily tiny scrunkly bladies, but I have 3 blogs and struggle to keep them all active, so I just decided to post them here on my main. but I also feel like that will deter people from paying as much attention to him. people would probably be more likely to follow a separate blog for him to keep up easily. no one wants to follow the mess that is this blog 🤣 i'm sure most people that enjoy him won't care about what else is on my blog and they won't want to look through it for him as he gets lost in my reblogs and posts.

I want him to be seen and enjoyed as much as possible because the whole reason I got him was to try to make people laugh/smile. and I really believe people really need more laughs and smiles in their lives!!!! don't know how well that will work if he drowns in my main, so maybe I should just do a separate one... 🤔 but that's more work for me and I don't really want to if i'm honest LOL

i'm only 3 pics in though....I could still make a separate blog...it's not too late yet. do I do it or just keep posting here???? I don't think I have enough followers to ask this question to, but what if I did a small poll anyway to see what happens:

(I hate that the only choices for poll time are 1 day and 1 week. I wanted 2 or 3 days 😅)

edit: i was reminded you can follow his tag "itty bitty bladie" for more, so that's an option as well. that might solve the whole issue 😆

#if anything i guess if i decided later i can do what i do with my art and photography and reblog it to a separate blog #so people have the choice to follow my creations updates without all my random reblogs in between #but then people never seem to know about side blogs if you dont post from them.....hmmmm. how does tumblr work lmao #hsr blade #blade hsr #honkai star rail blade #what if i tag him. maybe people will see and tell me their thoughts since i doubt my 3 active followers will make the poll useful 😅#i do leave a small link on each post that links to my tag for him on my blog like the pink link above. but idk if people will notice 😅#im voting on my own poll to say main is fine. FIGHT ME.
