The Bulb and Space Probe Death: A Brief Essay
Tumblr media
Something that I don’t recall being addressed in 17776 is the fact that the space probes are not immortal. The humans are on Earth where the nanobots and their mysterious longevity prevent them from dying, but Nine, Ten and Juice are in space.
The only thing protecting them from system failure and natural wear and tear is presumably that they are capable of self-repair. If they ever experienced a damage too great for them to fix themselves, Juice is the only one close enough to Earth to have any hope of being reached in time.
Tumblr media
I think that the reason the death of the Bulb was so deeply sad and disturbing to the probes is it reminded them that like the Bulb, they are ultimately objects that can be damaged and destroyed. Like the football that obliterated the Bulb, Nine, Ten, and Juice could be hit by an asteroid or any other space debris and die (particularly if they were distracted or asleep and didn’t see it coming).
They could flicker out of existence at any moment. It’s a slim possibility, but the possibility of that football hitting the Bulb was also nearly nonexistent.
Tumblr media
This also means that Nine and Ten could, in theory, commit suicide by piloting into a star or planetary body intentionally (that is, if they ever got close enough to one) or that a human could do the same by going to space or somewhere else without nanobots (assuming that the nanos don’t cling too or cloud around humans too closely for that to be possible). 
I also find the role reversal in 17776 quite interesting. Once, objects outlived their creators, they were what remained after they were gone and preserved their memory. Objects, naturally, are meant to last longer than people. But in 17776, the opposite is true. Footballs can burn to ash in car accidents, light bulbs can shatter, and, possibly, sentient space probes can die.
This was meant for my 17776 blog (@we-perpetually-hang-out) but is posted here instead due to tag issues.

Imagine, because I haven’t done one in a bit:
Monty finds Lunar’s small amount of backups while he’s busy restoring Lunar. In fixing Lunar, he accidentally transfers all the backups into Lunar’s body. Suddenly there’s like five Lunars in OG Lunar’s body. Monty singlehandedly and mistakenly has himself five sons who completely adore him.
They’re all backups that adore Monty and look up to him as their ‘dad’, all saved at random points after October. Some have more fresh trauma that others but there are now four backups active and Monty can’t just deactivate them, since he’d have to kill them now that they’re active backups just to turn them off.
So he puts all his tiny sons into their own bodies, Lunar getting over the whiplash of sharing his own body for the first time and being revived all at once. Lunar, after recovering a little from his new trauma, names his backups.
The backup saved right after October, is named Celeste (nicknamed Cellie). The backups made after the Lord Eclipse arc gets named Crater. The backup made on the new year is named Stardew (nicknamed Dew). And the backup made just after the extraction from Moon gets named Satellite (nicknamed Satie).
Monty loves his five sons and laughs in Eclipse’s shocked face when Eclipse inevitably comes for Monty to gloat about killing Lunar because, surprise Eclipse, you killed the baby and the baby multiplied like you fed a gremlin.

Sometimes I wish Heroes in Crisis would have been an anthology series spotlighting a few characters over the course of several issues. Currently I'm leaning towards Hotspot, Lagoon Boy, Roy Harper, either the Protector or Wally West, Poison Ivy, and Raven, but if the miniseries got expanded for some reason, I could add more or maybe just expand some of the ones already getting a spotlight.
But then other times, I wish they had gone with the AI secretly being behind everything, possibly due to integrating prejudices from historical practices that the Trinity didn't fully manage to filter out. But then instead of everyone staying dead, have Wally West briefly regain access to time travel and then go back in time to save everyone and prevent the issue from being able to recur. At the end of the book, the Trinity would be working to change Sanctuary and vet human therapists to keep it from happening again, and maybe we would end with a scene of Barry Allen and Wally West in which Barry is helping Wally to deal with what he saw before.

My mother read arguably my best story and gushed about it but didn't understand it (thought it was about how work destroys people) and when I explained to her that it was kind of about that but more about how a gay fascist is still a fascist she was like I think I like my interpretation better howling at the mooooooonnnn

2, 4, 6 and 12 for the enstars ask game 🩵
ask game
2. who did you first produce?
Kaoru n Chiaki because I started Eng during AtoZ and really thought they were sillies. And they are but oh my god *stares at Crazy:B*
4. what got you into enstars?
Any complaints about my hyperfixation can be redirected to @chadsuke because they started posting about it when eng dropped and I got curious and it's all been downhill since then.
6. how long have you been in the enstars fandom?
I started playing a little over a year ago I believeeeee or a little less but I only really got into it around Tempest release in Eng, and it kinda took over after Night Club Eng, which I remember was over Labor Day weekend because I had to do some of the tour days while at camp LMAO
12. what was your favorite event?
That's been released in Eng? Probably A Dark Night's Passing (the Double Face introduction). It was my first event 5* outside a tour and I just really love =EYE= as a song. Quality stuff. Night Club is a close second. I'm super excited for Ariadne next though and Obbligato. Do not get me started on that one.

ok so Levy but WKTD au. this is their (bad ending) devil form - pretty much they took all the toxic contamination from the region they live in into themself, saving the place by essentially dooming themself. they're like a bird in an oil spill except capable of hatred. and probably radioactive

For the 2000th post, I decided to draw the progression of my DragonFable OC (Kai Crusath)'s friendship with Tomix across the Tomix saga
The Chaosweaver armour is the hardest to draw due to all of the intricacies, followed by the base armour...

Satellite I’m sitting beneath the bent live oak, wishing the plane blinking above me was a satellite that would shoot images of my older brother back down into my brain so I could print them out and paste them on the wall. I have to keep looking at this one picture of him to remember how his jaw was and which side of the moon he parted his hair. He’s always away from me now, some animal or constellation that walked out of the world but for rumors and half skeletons found in the Congo, drawings of what they might have looked like. My brain dreams about cities from outer space, a place with a name like Kilimanjaro where he might still be walking around in his Vision Street Wear high tops, or even a shadow like my father who talked about Costco the night of my brother’s cremation and how pumpkiny the pumpkin pie was though he bought it in a frozen pack of twenty. Just like a real bakery, he said, you just throw it in the oven, he kept saying that, you just throw it in the oven, you just throw it in the oven.

Memories inside my heart are there to grieve Color-coded by the love HE gave to me
After fully coming to terms with the death of one, only to have the wound reopen with the other person you've ever known leaving you for the sake of everyone.
Even with new people to love, it won't ever be like how it was before.
