it takes time for ME to reach FAUST’s specific knowledge, huh?

Just a heads up to people who are writing Ptilopsis/Joyce and want to stick to the way she talks as accurately to canon as possible:
Even despite Device #9's effect on her, Joyce can still refer to herself in the first person. She often says "me" or "myself", or uses "I" - she doesn't usually refer to herself as a computer or talk in the third person (i.e., something like "Operator Ptilopsis believes (x)" or "this unit believes (x)").
I wouldn't say she has a super-consistent use of computer terminology that she uses in her regular vocabulary (i.e., you couldn't make a list of phrases that she replaces with specific computer language every single time), it's mostly just unique depending on the circumstance. However, for one effect of Device #9 that is fairly consistent, she usually calls Silence "Silence" or "Dr. Silence" while Device #9 is functioning properly, but calls her "Olivia" when it malfunctions in Dorothy's Vision.
However, she DOES refer to herself as "Joyce" in the third person in the flashbacks in the RL Manwha (with the caveat that she's being a little silly here and might purposefully be playing up the computer terminology, which she does fairly often):
Keep in mind that even in the manwha however, she still does use first-person pronouns in the present!
I just thought I'd make this post because I see a lot of people misunderstanding the effect Device #9 has on her way of speaking. As far as I remember and from skimming through all her major appearances, she never calls herself 'this unit' once, even though she does that pretty frequently in fanon. She often refers to her own mental faculties as computer terms and uses computer metaphors a lot, but doesn't usually engage in total depersonalization.
Here's an example of her using both first-person language and using computer metaphors at once from her Stories of Afternoon Vignette:
TL;DR
When talking, Ptilopsis can use first-person and second-person pronouns, and rarely refers to herself in the third-person. While she often uses computer terminology or computer parts to refer to her actions or mental functions, she usually doesn't refer to herself as a computer (i.e. "this unit").

Listen I’m personally not at all surprised by the revelation that the art book explicitly calls A a woman, but what’s with the sudden historical revisionism going on where people claim it was absurd for A’s gender to have EVER be in doubt or considered ambiguous?

to plead is to kill
please mommy. i beg you mommy. im sorry mommy
in this horrid blue tiled bathroom
or in the minimalist hell of heroism that you called crass before my
aching eyes
or in this red hot passionate sulphurous pit of petulance
where you stare now at the grave we dug for a millenia
with our hands
bruised, and bloodied
for our mother, and Cain
watched us, and Abel begged
to be set free from his curse,
they are the sequels to this tragic sleazy comic book tale of woe
two lovers drunk on Victorian sentimentality and sad
groggy eyes
overdoes on authorial intention,
kissed each other hard,
and died.

Horny puppygirl thoughts at work: Puppy a waitress but instead she should just get paid to walk around on all fours to crawl under tables and serve the guests while they enjoy their foods and maybe also let them bend her over the table to breed her as a reward if she does a good job :3

If you're ever not sure how many programs/apps/custom settings/etc you have on your PC, just do a reinstall and you'll quickly realize there are probably A LOT. 😬
That said, yes, I had to reinstall Windows this morning. I'm very carefully adding back just the basics: drivers, updates, security and browser stuff, testing to see if things have stabilized. So far, no Blue Screening of Death so let's keep a good thought that that trend will keep going, hm? 🤞😣🤞
I really miss Word, Steam and Vegas, though. No writing or playing Halo or Mass Effect: Andromeda, no vidding or GIFfing. Hopefully in a few more days, though!
(Head pats are TOTALLY appreciated right now, lol 🥺😉)
Anyway, just stopping by to say hello. Don't hesitate to @ me on anything you want me to see or to tag me in. I'll be back eventually!
I HOPE.
Love you, frens. I hope you're doing well. 🤗

In June 1534, Mary sent a letter of protest to numerous foreign officials including Chapuys and Charles V. Written in Latin, the letter included a sentence that translates to, 'To clarify all the details of this Scripture we have, we say, we maintain, we assert, and protest that our identity is a mere fact of our knowledge and after mature deliberation on the testimony of my manual, a sign and seal of my own.' Through this, Mary was insisting to the world outside of England that in no way did she intend to renounce her title or give in to pressures to marry or enter a convent without the consent of her mother. This in itself could easily have been interpreted as treason [...] as it turned out, Chapuys had actually written the letter and gave it to Catherine to pass along to Mary to rewrite, copy, sign and distribute ten months earlier.
