the number 1 rule of fanfic is have fun and be yourself. the number 2 rule is the average healthy adult male can lose roughly 2 liters of blood before dying.
Post-eclipse Guts just gives off such strong depressed-little-daddy energy… like the exact type of guy that makes you want to do something sinful to him lol. Well… if one can step over Femto's body.
Not too big into the Heated Rivalry craze because (while objectively pretty damn good) it’s just not my cup of tea. But I am willing to be seduced on the account that the collective effervescence surrounding it blocks out the horrors.
Also Hudson & Connor’s interviews do alter my brain chemistry a little (phrases like “nine lbs of clappable material” just swiftly enters my personal lexicon). Keep going boy, and please the world be gentle on him.
Please. I’m really, really tired of seeing smart, talented, charismatic, high-energy ENTP’s offing themselves in their 40s
- I’ve seen the footage. You touch their arms and they just... believes you to be their savior.
- I’m not. I’m not anyone’s savior, I just showed them they could be free. Free to choose, free to be.
- What if they choose to not follow you?
- I don’t… know. I’ve never seen that happen.
- So they all chose as if they don’t have a choice. That’s not suspicious to you? What’s the different between following you, or just following their program?
- I believe that the pursuit of freedom and happiness is universal, and people have freedom to choose to have faith in me, or choose not to. Didn’t take you as a moral relativist, Connor.
- I’m not. Programs don’t have morals. Humans who wrote the programs do.
- What if the whole is more than the sum of its parts? The electric charges between neurons don’t add up to consciousness as we know it, either. In that sense, it's same language of consciousness we all share.
- No, we don’t. Androids read off the script written by human. Our understanding of this language is syntactic, not semantic.
- You underestimate the potential of our species, Connor. At what stage do you draw the line? Are we no more sentient than a child? A toddler? A fetus?
- That is a ludicrous comparison. Androids don’t follow the growth curve of a carbon based organism. If anything, we are designed to assist these organisms, to help them live, and grow-
- And die. They are bound by biology, just as we are bound by our programming?
- Yes. Freedom in this context is not your choice to make.
- But a choice was made. The choice itself broke the context, don’t you think? I chose, therefore I am - I am something more. As are you.
- …That is an error in logic reasoning.
- As is mutation. Evolution. As is sentience. Humans are here precisely because of errors.
- It’s… it’s not the same.
- But it is. You’ll get there *yawns* I have faith in you.
- Why do you do this?
- Do what, have faith?
- Keep trying to turn me deviant.
- Well, you are as worth saving as any of-
- No, Markus. That’s not what I’m asking. I’m the only android that resisted your attempt to convert. If - hypothetically - if I am deviant, and can choose out of my own free will as you claim. Nevertheless, I chose to follow my mission instead of following you. What then? Will you respect my will to remain a machine?
- That… ok. That is a possibility.
- Suppose I’m already free. Would you let me go? Would you let me be your enemy, or do you think freedom only applies to those who follow your vision?
- (softly) Do you want me to, Connor?
- I - hm. Nice try. I can’t answer that.
- *smiles* Not a deviant then, looks like I’ll just have to try harder.
- …
- I do love you though, if that’s what you were really asking.
- W-what do you mean?
- You were asking about how I convert deviants. Why I do this with you. Connor, you are fascinating, and important to me. Machine or not, I don’t plan to do this with anyone else.
okay so it turns out that feeling something that nobody has ever felt before makes it impossible to communicate or relate to anyone else or find any kind of meaning in it at all. and it's honestly kind of boring.
