A Picrew I made of my original vision for Mary that I made back in middle school when I first thought up the idea for PL vs A Neka I made a week ago of my current design for her (well, the Alice version of her, anyway).
It’s wild to see how your OCs evolve over the years.

why don't people in zombie apocalypse stories ever just wear suits of armor? you think any zombie is gonna get their shitty rotting jaws through this?
Tumblr media
I'm gonna rip and tear my way through the zombie apocalypse completely unharmed because none of the undead hoards will be able to get through my plate mail

I love you robots and artificial intelligence with mental illness. I love you repression being depicted as literally deleting archived data to preserve functionality. I love you anxiety attacks being depicted as a system crashing virus. I love you ptsd being depicted as an annoying pop-up. I love you anxiety disorder being depicted as running thousands of simulations and projected outcomes. I love you artificial beings being shown to be human via their own artificiality.

Because Death cannot be known. It cannot be befriended. If Death were a boy, he would be a lonely figure, standing at the playground’s edge while the air rippled with other children’s laughter. If Death were a boy, he would walk alone. He would speak in a whisper and his eyes would be haunted by knowledge no human can bear.
Robert R. McCammon, from 'Boy's Life'

taking off a mask to reveal what lies beneath as a romantic gesture is overdone, and besides i want to see the romantic or even platonic potential of protecting someone's identity beneath the mask, without any expectation of ever being allowed to see what's under it. picking it up and holding it gently to their face when it's knocked off and they're in danger of being exposed, without trying to catch a glimpse of what they "really" look like under there. throwing yourself in front of them to hide them from view while they put themselves back together without taking advantage or looking back to see what you're protecting. learning to read them by body language, tone of voice, and behaviour so well that you never need to see their face to feel like you know and understand them.

when we try to befriend cats we mimic their meows and get down on the ground to their level and try to gently coax them to interact with us right
that horrifying entity mimicking human noises at us maybe just thinks we’re cool and wants to pet us?

I’m collecting some weird, rare variants of Alice in Wonderland imagery.

I love fiction about Pedestals. About building someone up to be great and being hit in the face by the fact that they're human and flawed. Or about the universe trying to force them to admit that this person they love so much shouldn't be put on that pedestal but they cling to this idea to their own detriment. Or about how someone doesn't want to be on this pedestal, or how they maintain the pedestal on purpose because they can't EVER let their mask slip even if it's hurting them or the people they love. I love destruction and masks and the realization that there's more to someone than you thought possible.

Me: *is creating a thing that is very similar to Yume Nikki (and even started as a fangame idea) which will no doubt remind people of it even though the only things I know about Yume Nikki are from Nitro Rad videos*
Me: …Maybe I should actually play Yume Nikki.
