#I know it is most likely a bot

[dontfuckmylifewtf]

No matter how weird the questions are that Neil Gaiman gets (or for the matter we see because he answered them), I would like to remind everyone, that having around 80.000 asks in your inbox gives you a lot to choose from.

Meaning, that Neil Gaiman probably actively chooses from these 80.000 questions what he answers.

So for the love of god, stop bullying the people asking "cringe" questions. They probably didn't expect to get an answer anyways, and Neil chose to answer them.

#good omens #the sandman #← tagging these because they're the most frequent 'cringe question' source #neil gaiman #just think of the weird bot questions you get and decide not to answer #it's not like he's obliged to answer those questions #this is just a theory tho maybe he keeps answering them because they're the first and he kinda made a system #I'm by all means not all knowing #just a hypothesis #maybe you know or think that too but I saw enough notes and tags that say that at least a small group does the same #and if you don't like a question you don't have to react to it ffs

most normal interaction on a subway (another earth bot has invaded my sketchbook)

cat belongs to @8um8le

#2024 #stellar city #sc cataclysm #sc ash #self insert #late evening scribbles once again just for fun #okay so it is so interesting to think about how really tall bots are normal so public transit is probably larger to accomodate #so then lil ol me looks more like a kid than i normally do in the subway car built for giants #anyway i'm thinking about how jarring it must be to only know geo and then see cat lmao #unknowingly meeting your coworker (crush)'s prototype on your evening commute home :x #…wait hang on it would be really funny to confide in cat about having a crush on geo #gives me the most batshit advice that somehow works #i really just keep doodlin ballad's guys huh? i wanna draw the rest of the cast tbh they're all fun

thinking about android kylar

warnings: robot/android stuff, any compsci nerds don't slander me for misusing your terminology ehhjfjsfs

Kylar returns your gaze, empty eyed and emotionless.

You can't stand it.

Sure, you originally bought him for security purposes—he was indeed an ai that specialised in surveying and property protection—but you felt horrible that he never even once smiled at you.

You're beginning to doubt that you bought him solely for security purposes. Maybe deep down, you were just lonely.

Always calculating your every movement, Kylar's pupils flicker from your face to your hands—probably some body language algorithm he's programmed to have–he stops once he comes to a conclusion on your mood.

"You're upset."

You scoff, rolling your eyes and leaning against the kitchen counter, staring back at the robot with a scowl that puts an elderly woman to shame, wordlessly saying 'obviously, you pre-programmed idiot.'

"Well, duh. You don't do anything! I spent like, $12,000 dollars for you to just sit around and look pretty!"

Kylar raises an eyebrow.

Something so simple and so human that it makes your heart slam against your ribs with each accelerated beat.

It's exciting.

"I monitor the premises and ensure you are not hurt. Despite the break-ins in your immediate area, your home remains unscathed. Am I not performing to your standards? If there are any issues you wish to voice—"

"God, don't spout that shit at me! Can't you just—I don't know—Have a conversation with me?"

Kylar blinks. Stares at you for a second longer than usual, the chips in his head working in tandem to create a solution to this new, grandiose problem. His hands twitch at his sides, and you're worried you might've broken him.

"A... conversation?"

You nod.

"Humans have conversations all the time, Kylar. Why can't you?"

Kylar's pupils dilate.

You've never seen that happen before.

"Are you... lonely?"

Coming from anyone else you would've responded with a slap across the face... But the word 'lonely' coming from your android is a completely different story.

You look down, gnawing at your bottom lip as Kylar's gaze never falters.

"I guess... I mean, I know you're for security and not companionship but—"

"I can be for companionship."

You pause, mouth agape at his quick response. You sound pleasantly surprised when you respond:

"You can?"

Kylar smiles. It's small and tight-lipped, clearly unpracticed and unused, but it's there.

"What would you like to talk about?"

#hatkuuasks #guys #i want to fuck him #i should write a second part where u have sex with him ... #surveillance bot kylar... who knows all of ur routine and thinks about u constantly while you're working away like a good little human #ai kylar who gets a superiority complex when he opens up to you... sees how clumsy and silly his cute little human is and decides that ur-- #--his now :) #role reversal!!! #so hawt. ask me about this PLEASSSEEE #this is probably the most vanilla thing ive written on this blog dgjfgf #guys and in part 2 then he can get yandere and possessive and freakily strong and observant because hes an android and and and

[Start ID. A drawing of @mieczmaszyna 's character Izzy. In the words of its creator, Izzy is a humanoid robot with a white chassis, oval head, black headset, square green glasses, claws, and a tail resembling a cable plug. Ai wears a cowboy hat, vest decorated by a star and bottle cap, pants with tassels, spurred boots, and a red bandanna. He's viewed from the side, kicking up one leg and holding both arms out in front of itself to shoot finger guns, looking excited and rather jaunty. The background is a dull yellow-green, muddied by the warm reddish tone of the drawing, and in paler green are the words "BANG BANG!!" by ais arms. End ID]

Yusei being autistic is not even a headcanon to me it's just canon.

#guy that gets so absorbed talking about dwheels and cards he forgets to eat and sleep #(also his general insistency to be the most unhealthy thing in his life but its okay we all go through it.) #I think about that one manga spoof panel where the team is at the beach #and aki is like 'yusei.... looking at cards jnstead of enjoying the beach... typical' #Like not to say 'he is so me' but at that moment he and I were one #but like I get it because I do this. you csn motivate me to anything if it means I get to play yugioh im so serious. #and i know thats the manga yada yada #but even in anime when he defends every card with his life that's me going on the daily yugioh card bot on twt and going 'i love this guy!' #anyways sorry. #i just. Yusei is so autism. #(smoking) you'd never get it... #random ramble #yugioh 5ds or whateva #yusei fudo

i just blocked so many bots my hand hurts. we're fighting for our lives here on tumblr dot commed

#nearly brought me down a full hundred #friendly reminder that if you have no likes/reblogs on your blog Blocking Is Inevitable #and most people wont even check. if you have an untitled blog with a default icon its often an insta block #i have a feeling most people who are mistaken for bots #are from tiktok/twitter/insta #but yall pls... at least change your icons it takes 2 seconds... it can be literally anything... a stock photo from the internet... #i feel bad going on sprees bc i just Know im blocking real people purely for the crime of acting exactly like a bot #its harder to tell especially since the names are getting more creative #rampant bots and likes over reblogs... these are the dark ages of webbed site #absolutely unprompted

hey maybe don’t talk to the qsmp datamine bot! i know it’s literally a thing that the federation is weird and invasive and definitely stealing the islanders data but bringing that out of the roleplay story world is…weird to say the least. especially in this era where internet privacy is basically nonexistent. it just sets a weird precedent

#to be clear i’m not saying the qsmp staff is actively trying to steal ur data #but like idk what exactly the cucurucho ai is using #and that’s the point #there’s a lack of transparency about what software it’s using #and where that data is going #most likely it’s something like chat gpt or a character ai bot or whatever #but those suck for other reasons and i just don’t know if it actually is one of those #weird thing to make ur audience comfortable with #qsmp #qsmp cucurucho #privacy #posts from the ocean

girl math is not whatever tiktok thinks it is girl math is me getting a 100% on my quantum physics assignment because i know what the fuck i’m doing

#girl math girl dinner i’m just a girl LITERALLY SHUT THE FUCK UP. #‘‘what’s the girl version of the roman empire’’ THE ROMAN EMPIRE. #GIRL IS NOT SYNONYMOUS WITH EASY.

MOST OF THE PEOPLE DOING THIS SHIT THINK THEYRE PROGRESSIVE #it’s not a silly little joke. where do you think it comes from in the first place. use your critical thinking skills that i know you have. #literally fuck this. social media has become a cesspool #like every tiktok trend has some insidious origin whether intentional or not. every comment section is filled with the most rancid shit ever #the only platform not as horrible is here but even THEN there is so much rampant bigotry if you step slightly outside of your curated bubble #i can only hope to hope that most of the rancidness is fake. that they’re just trolls or bots or smear campaigns. #and i can only hope that people in these tiktok trends just simply don’t know any better and are willing to learn. #mari is irrelevant

I live! And I'm writing a fic

Hello, everyone! :) I've re-started the process of moving this blog over to a side blog (@darkeneddawning) when I have time. End goal is to have all my art and stuff from here over there, so my main blog (this one) can be used for everything. The side blog will be where I post new phandom art and stuff.

Hopefully the transfer isn't too confusing for everyone. If you want to follow me to see my phandom art and stuff, you might want to wait until my side blog is all caught up, or you'll be spammed with me reblogging all of my old art over there for the next while. I'll announce on this blog when it's done and wait at least a week so people have time to unfollow this blog if they don't want my reblogs of everything I like to clutter up their dashes.

But I'm too impatient to wait until I'm done with that before I start posting again, so here's a blurb from the DP x DC Circus Gothica crossover fic I'm writing! It's going to be a while before I can post it since I've got a lot going on and I'm a very slow writer so far, but I'm hoping posting about it will keep me motivated to continue working on it :)

It's not a very long blurb, but I'll put it under a read more anyway (along with a synopsis of the fic):

Fic synopsis:

Wait, but if I’m mind controlled, and you’re mind controlled, then who’s catching the evil ringmaster??

Jason wasn’t expecting to join the suspicious circus he was investigating on Dick’s behalf, but a day in found him planning a heist with his new posse of co-slaves. At least getting in on the action gave him the answers he was looking for, as well as some others to questions he’d forgotten he was still asking.

Or: A new circus rolls into Bludhaven, trailing a history of too many pilfered towns to be a coincidence. Dick asks Jason to look into it on account of Dick’s circus related trauma. Jason was expecting to find evidence, not a one-way ticket to minion town, or a mysterious boy who somehow calmed the insatiable waters of the pit. Who is this boy, and what can he teach Jason about himself?

----

Though he felt compelled to come, he didn’t know what was wanted of him now that he was here.

“This area is off limits to guests. Can I help you?”

That reaper kid from the performance, head attached, was looking at Jason with a raised brow. The same Red color that was swirling around Jason’s brain occupied the kid’s irises. Now he was up close, Jason could see how the kid’s stage eyeliner was only a slight enhancement to the genuine dark circles under his eyes. With those in addition to the gaunt hollowness of his cheeks, the kid looked like he hadn’t slept in years.

Jason smiled. It wasn’t a natural smile, but the Red liked it. “I’m here to, uh… cross over to the dark side?” That was all the Red was giving him to work with.

Reaper kid squinted at him, then drew back in surprise. “Woah, I totally thought you were human. Is that a disguise?” he asked, walking up to Jason.

“Disguise?” Jason glanced down at his body like it would clue him in to what reaper kid was talking about. He looked plenty human to himself. “What else would I be?” Was this important to the Red’s mission? Red was starting to feel a little more impatient.

“Uh, you know,” the kid gave a dismissive hand wave, but clarified: “Dead?”

#danny phantom #dp x dc #circus gothica #danny fenton #jason todd #I'm still hammering out the details but I have the main plot figured out #it specifies that danny's head is attached bc it comes off as part of the show #most of my batfam knowledge comes from dp x dc fics so hopefully I don't egregiously mischaracterize them #also are there specific tags the phandom uses for stuff like this that anyone would want me to use in the future? #bc I know I used to stay caught up on my favorite tags in the day and proper tagging/categorization is something I appreciated from others #I still don't want to post on this blog too much before the transfer is complete since I don't want to make the transition too confusing #this blog has gained a few new followers recently (that aren't spam bots) and I worry that the move is going to be annoying for people #honestly I shouldn't post this bc it probably is going to make the move messier if I do #but I really want to get back into participating instead of just lurking #and hinging participation on an intimidating obstacle has prevented me from doing anything for too long #I literally stopped posting on tumblr all that time ago bc I couldn't find a solution to how I couldn't reblog posts to a side blog easily #I tried over and over to figure out a way to reassign which blog was my main #I tried using a side blog as my everything blog and it was not doable for me #I've never seen anyone else make a transition like this so it's kind of embarrassing #but it's still the best solution I've come up with so please bear with me

Okay, conspiracy theory time: if Blitzwing being an Autobot experiment was indeed the original backstory planned for him, it ended up being revised into Malware’s backstory

I mean, a specimen with unique abilities amongst their species associated with machinery created by supposed good guy scientist(s) who “came out wrong” in a sense and was driven mad by the mental strain of it, turned rogue as a result of being mistreated by their creators, became a homicidal maniac hellbent on revenge, AND the same guy worked as a character designer on their respective shows? It just makes too much sense.

I mean with how much canon that Derrick J. Wyatt had creative input on, it would certainly not be too farfetched for some older unexplored ideas to be actually put into practice haha. I do love me some morally grey (and like, genuinely grey regardless of how bright or dark the shade) allies and protagonists, even if it has to come at the cost of the mental and physical health of certain antagonists /hj-

Blitzwing may not have had that much focus as a 'character plagued by the narrative' to have explored the implied trauma beyond him serving as one of the main villains with a unique triple changer feature, Malware being rather explicitly that 'someone you should care about' mixed in with the whole 'irredeemable asshole' schtick was very much a little dicey yeet- he deserved a redemption arc if he was to be written as much of a victim of circumstance and ensuing abandonment as he was 😔

#ask #anonymous #blitzwing #tfa blitzwing #malware #malware ben 10 #transformers #tfa #BETCs #bot experiment triple changers #maccadam #ben 10 #i know in the most recent season 4 uh information that by technicality blitzwing gets perhaps a redemption arc #but i suppose it was less a redemption and more a 'fuck megatron for throwing us into a furnace/engine' whatever it was #more like an alliance against a shared enemy plus the other 'cons including the new predacons #...if i'm remembering right #for all the shit that blitzwing goes through- malware gets that shit canonically in the show #and he gets just a little bit of 'fate worse than death' if malgax is anything to go by woop... #sorry i just have a more silent watchful appreciation and sympathy for malware but that appreciation is getting a little louder
