A Mini Zine I Made About Sentient AIs!
Each page is based on an AI character from a book, movie, or game. I can't wait to print and fold it! If you want to, feel free to print your own copies, just please credit me if you share it :)
GLaDOS and Wheatley, Portal 2 (This one will technically end up being the cover)
AM, "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream"
Justice of Toren, Imperial Radch by Ann Leckie (the EskVar logo was designed by Nicole Thayer and shared by Ann Leckie: https://annleckie.com/2015/09/25/your-complete-list-of-emanations-files/).
I added the engine because JoT is a spaceship and to emulate the wheel of Fortune, since the books talk about fate and action, etc. It also references "It all goes around..."
The Thunderhead, Arc of a Scythe by Neal Shusterman
AIDAN, The Illuminae Files by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff (the Alexander engine design and the "AIDAN" background are taken from the first book; I just put them together and made it glow blue)
Edgar, Electric Dreams
Tau, Tau
HAL 9000, 2001: A Space Odyssey (This one will be the back cover when folded)

THE THUNDERHEAD - Arc of a Scythe
PROPAGANDA:
Horrible little freak AI god. The most unethical little baby in the world. Constantly claims to never make mistakes and i think it genuinely believes itself. The atrocities… but also it fixed global warming so it’s kind of based. Makes me feel a lot of feelings about humanity and experiencing the world through human vs inhuman lenses and there’s a scene where it experiences having a body for the first time and it makes me cry.. my silly little robot god

Virtual Character Tourney - Bracket B - Round 1
Propaganda below (May contain spoilers!)
Ene propaganda:
She's blue. Headphone actor and yuukei yesterday are also bangers
Epic gamer cybergirl. Miku adjacent
She's a girl that was forced to become digital but is still a good friend. She may not have a body anymore but she's still important to the plot.
The Thunderhead propaganda:
It has access to the sum total of human knowledge and it's really nice
An ai that has access to the sum total of human knowledge. The closest thing to a physical form it has are the camera bots but it only uses them as well, cameras (Another, similar ai does inhabit the camera bot for a time, though)

i love rowan so much. poor guy’s been through so much 😭 his trauma is insurmountable like it’s actually insane to me. he’s basically an expert assassin there’s no one at his level but he doesn’t want it!!!!! i think people forget how genuinely fucking cool he is because he 1. keeps getting kidnapped and almost killed because of the impact he’s had on the world and goddard’s goofy ass claims and 2. he’s honestly so silly 😭😭😭

thinking today about that one line from neal shusterman's the toll where greyson asks the Thunderhead if he is a bad person
the Thunderhead tells him "you are a wonderful person. you are a terrible person"
and he asks it, "so which is it?"
and the Thunderhead says, "why can't you see the answer is both?"
honestly, these lines changed the way i think about people's actions so much. it can be so difficult for me to not instantly judge people based on things they've done to me in the past, or how they've made me feel. my first instinct is that of a lot of people: just classify people into the box of good or bad, looking at traits that i consider good or bad. but people being both infinitely wonderful and also limitelessly terrible recontexualizes that so much-- an action can be wonderful or terrible, i can feel that a person is wonderful or terrible, but that doesn't change the fact that they can do both.
anyone is capable of wonderful things. anyone is capable of terrible things. nothing is mutually exclusive.

At first Greyson seems pleased by this, but it quickly dissolves into bitterness. It seems so much about him is bitter now. It was never my intent to leave him thus.
well if those aren't the words of somebody who loves him
