got a worm nibbling my brain. can someone help me find a piece of obscure media?
webcomic/indie comic from the 2010s. basically a sci-fi short story about a young girl (with red hair?) who was being raised by scientists as part of an experiment. she receives a haircut/has her head shaved, in preparation for her annual brain scan/testing. it is revealed that while her body is human, her "brain" is artificial, made of computer implants throughout her skull and spine. at some point her biological mother (also a scientist on the same campus?) encounters her and is repulsed, viewing her as a machine who has murdered her daughter.
it was very poignant and it bruised my heart and i can NOT find it anywhere

question, does the curator exist in tsp.exe? or did she get obliterated by thierry or smth /silly
would if he could, if he knew about her...
BUT YES INDEED! rarely alluded to & shown off anywhere but here, but she DOES indeed exist, & is virtually the silent " higher-up observee " of the game next to Nobody ( settings person );
i fully planned on showing her off here when i had something of a better, colored reference to go off of here, but- ah well. your query is as good an excuse as any!
BEHOLD! thierry's official curator ( who, by this point, could use some design tweaks because it's actually been a good while since her design was conjured but you get the idea )!
basically -- the curator is an incorporeal, " narrator " entity in the same vein as thierry, who just so happened to get trapped within the game as thierry was laying down the foundation, & by this point, can't escape, & has given up any attempt at it.
for one reason or another, perhaps because she's physically confined to the Museum - more of a scrapped concept for an after-the-game asset archive walkthrough that's been forgotten by thierry at this point, he can't detect her presence & he has no idea she's even in there. the only person who DOES, is rosemary. & arguably nobody.
but from there, does she watch over the game & all that happens within it, having absolutely 0 control of it, but almost 100% awareness of everything that goes on under its roof - unlike thierry, & considering what she's had to witness thus far, she's appalled.
rather than trying to convince the hypothetical " player " to quit the game to save the narrator & stanley, curie's instead trying to convince rosemary to do ANYTHING else than let him walk all over her, or do anything to preserve herself. but rosemary doesn't listen.
& the curator can't do anything more than offer her some outside hospitality & an escape when she wants it. so she remains to watch over them both.
THANK YOU FOR ASKING! FINALLY I can unleash her unto the world.

Where do I begin?
You may be looking at the description, blinking, and wondering where to start. My recommendation is your own sites and then your bookmarks and links. Your bookmarks represent the sites and pages you thought were worth saving and maybe returning to. Maybe you did and maybe you didn’t, but you felt they spoke to something you wanted or needed at the time. So go through them and post the ones that still work here.
