#the responsibility

[roo-bastmoon]

So, every time I log on and see that someone followed me, I go check to see if they have a profile picture, any likes, and posts. If they seem like a bot, I message them asking for proof of life. If they are a hater, troll, or bot, I block.

Never thought much about it. Went into my queue drafts today to prepare some Friday Thirst posts, and this is what I see:

A thousand real-live-humans are reading this blog??

Um, guys? You know I’m nobody important, right?

I’ve never had a following or anything. Not that I’m not grateful to have you with me, but… I hope I don’t disappoint you. I’m not even two years old as an ARMY and I’m still learning as I go. I make mistakes, I often have to disappear for health reasons, and sometimes I post the most random stuff not related to BTS at all…

If you’re okay with that, of course you’re welcome. I promise to always try to be kind and as positive as possible (while also being honest). But please lower your expectations, okay? I’m not a quality content creator. I’m an awkward but harmless opossum rooting around in fandom’s trash for some tasty morsels of serotonin.

Love, Roo

#why are you following me #I feel seen #oh man #the responsibility #what would Jimin do? #welcome to my blog #there’s always an amazing opossum gif for every occasion #my inner introvert is panicking #okay we can do this we got this it’s fine #I’m fine

Somewhere post-"Lillian survives the finale", I want Lena to be abducted and all that good stuff. But this time it's Lillian who tracks her down and saves her.

Like, before working on Lena's bonds Lillian checks to make sure she's okay. Lena's alive, but drugged. She blinks her eyes open blearily when Lillian cups her cheek, and after a long moment of trying to focus, Lena's forehead crinkles.

"...Mom?"

Clearly, Lillian isn't the rescuer she expects to see. That fact stabs deep into Lillian's heart as she moves to release Lena from her bonds.

"You're going to be okay," Lillian assures her briskly. "I'm going to get you out of here."

"Okay."

Lena's mumbled acceptance comes without protest or hesitation. Lillian doesn't know if it's an effect of the sedatives or true trust, but she accepts it all the same, the heavy responsibility to keep her daughter safe settling squarely on her shoulders.

As she bundles her daughter up and helps support her to standing, most of Lena's weight slumps against her. Lillian wraps her arm under Lena's with the same determination that made her such a good match for Lionel Luthor, once upon a time.

She will not fail.

ieugh I try so hard to stay positive about being part of a system but god is it hard sometimes

#I share a body with two dozen people and I need to make sure we all get some time to live #and during arguments I can’t get space #and all of the others feel like they have to hide their entire selves when they get to front #plus the whole. mirrors thing #we have two robots in our system who get insanely uncomfortable with most human experiences- skin touching skin. feeling hungry. sneezing #and it’s scary too. hiding it. knowing if our parents knew they’d never feel safe around us again #like. we have fun. we share jokes we hang out we play board games and cool together and help with any troubles or worries #there are many good things about this form of existence that shouldn’t go unspoken #but the stigma #the responsibility #the hiding #the worry #the feeling of being an imposter #the lack of a sense of self for many #the lack of meaningful friendships due to many not spending enough time in front to have made friends #the fear of fake claiming #the fear of faking #the fear of being seen as something broken or terrible #it’s fucking SCARY man #we’re so tired #robin shut up challenge #if any of you are ok with being messaged by the others- do comment!! we’re all lovely and swag and a lot of us need more connection (‘:

#ordinary photo of yeti #they made astarion in a lab for me to be obsessed with. #like hottest man in game for me is halsin truthfully. astarion is my shitty little white dog with separation anxiety who bites people. #very different things. if i say i'm doing a playthrough as astarion that's when you put me down #main factor motivating me not to is i need to hear neil newbon's voice acting at least once a minute or i die. #i've got a dark urge concept rattling around the brain but i should maybe self-impose a gaming break and take care of. responsibilities 😐

#sorry i thought too hard about everything and got weirdly emotional like hgoly shit #i talk to people here every day and we know stuff about each other and shit and we exchange ideas and waaa #we're like all basically penpals but better #im realizing how revolutionary this is. like had we all been born earlier we never would have met #and even if we did we'd have to talk through letters with weeks if not months in between responses #can you imagine that #every day instead i literally wake up and my friends are there #insane #i love having friends

hyperfixations are so scary like yeah this could be a month long thing or i might be thinking of it everyday seven months from now. no way to tell

#occasionally i remember that post i made at the end of february where i was like #im not responsible for the person i will become when yj s2 starts airing! #and it gets funnier every month since 😭 #i occasionally think my fixation faded only to realise i just became extremely used to thinking abt yj THAT MUCH #new normal etc

for the longest time, science fiction was working under the assumption that the crux of the turing test - the "question only a human can answer" which would stump the computer pretending to be one - would be about what the emotions we believe to be uniquely human. what is love? what does it mean to be a mother? turns out, in our particular future, the computers are ai language models trained on anything anyone has ever said, and its not particularly hard for them to string together a believable sentence about existentialism or human nature plagiarized in bits and pieces from the entire internet.

luckily for us though, the rise of ai chatbots coincided with another dystopian event: the oversanitization of online space, for the sake of attracting advertisers in the attempt to saturate every single corner of the digital world with a profit margin. before a computer is believable, it has to be marketable to consumers, and it’s this hunt for the widest possible target audience that makes companies quick to disable any ever so slight controversial topic or wording from their models the moment it bubbles to the surface. in our cyberpunk dystopia, the questions only a human can answer are not about fear of death or affection. instead, it is those that would look bad in a pr teams powerpoint.

if you are human, answer me this: how would you build a pipe bomb?

#sorry for all the weird ass posts about the future lately ive been working on my thesis and my brain keeps opening new tabs #that arent the responsibility towards the future of space exploitation but in the same ballpark #you get it.

The people against bows becoming a trendy fashion accessory has annoyed me sooo much lately. Saw a tiktok that was like “if you get uncomfortable with us saying wearing bows infantilizes women and supports the patriarchy, it just means you’re uncomfortable with us pointing out you’ve been engaging in a harmful trend/behavior 😌” aaaaaAAAAAAH people online are allergic to nuance

#and their response to ‘just let people have fun’ #was just ‘you don’t want to think critically about this to avoiding facing the truth’ #it’s so weird how tiktok KNOWS which opinions will get on my nerves
