I think a lot about who I am to other people in the worldāparticular who I am to strangers as a mere concept in their lives.
Today this woman called our information desk and said,Ā āmy sonās band is playing tonight. I want to come see him, but he never answers his phoneā¦..I want to be there. Have you heard anything about his band?ā
And I felt so bad for this lady but Iām not in the music scene around here so I had to tell her no, sorry.
Five hours later, Iām hiking and run into a group of guys setting up for some outdoor performance, and as I watch them unload the drums it hits me.
āHey,ā I said,Ā āare yāall in a band?ā
They said yeah and smiled and I told themĀ āone of your moms called today. She wants to watch you play, but she canāt get a hold of you. Call your mom.ā
And they all pulled out their phones and started discussing whose mom it probably was as they presumably dialed their own.
And now, unless we meet again and recognize each other, thatās who Iāll be forever to those guysāsome mysterious courier for mom-messages who came out of the woods and told them their mom called.
I didnāt even tell them why their mom called me. Who am I to their mom?? Nobody even asked. They just took my word for it and called their mothers.
i think one of the worst tropes about robots is them being cold. my pc vents out air that could fry an egg, what makes you think you couldn't cuddle up to a robotgirl on a cold day?

People liking your personal OCs is still such a crazy feeling, I've been doing this for years and ppl asking about them still fills my entire heart with warmth and idk how to handle it
You enjoy this fictional guy I made up for fun?? Whose only content is random artwork or writing made by me and a handful of other artists at most? They have no show/book/game with a large fandom, it's just one person with an art blog?? I love u
modern social media should stop offering "sync with your phone contacts to follow them" options and start offering "block all your phone contacts so they never see your account" options
