Tangled Threads @ask-tangled-threads - Tumblr Blog

I let the impulsive thoughts win and jumped on the bandwagon! Have an askblog for my silly little iterator oc!

Just remember to be polite, and I reserve the right to refuse to answer things I'm uncomfortable with. Nothing NSFW. Please.

M!As are allowed! We're all here to have fun (and maybe a bit of angst. maybe a little), after all! ^^

Im a bit confused about whats your definition of ‘yourself’. Do you consider yourself to be just your puppet or both the can and the puppet? And if your puppet did disconnect and leave the can would your consciousness still be within the can or within the puppet?

Everything. It's all me.

If it helps, my puppet is just an avatar for my wider consciousness. It contains my voicebox, cameras and microphone—or, eyes and ears, rather—and serves as a representation of the person within the gargantuan superstructure. But it's just that: an avatar. Everything from the outermost walls of my exterior to the deepest depths of my can is me.

As for your second question... To begin with, it's not possible for my puppet to leave my can. My umbilical arm serves as a lifeline. If my puppet were to disconnect from my umbilical, it would die, leaving my consciousness in my can without an avatar to express myself with.

Such is why I didn't think it was at all possible to achieve any sort of freedom! I still find it hard to believe, but what's the point of being a supercomputer if I'm not going to look for an unprecedented solution? As soon as I'm recovered, I'm going to look for a way to take the freedom that was denied to me. I'm done being sedentary.

...Thank you. I think... I think I'll keep this with me.

What are scavengers like? My information on them is quite limited but I heard that they have entered their equivalents of the Neolithic era. I always wanted to study a species in its Neolithic era in real time, I always found the idea of seeing a species develop its own methods for problem solving fascinating. But with the capacity to problem solve comes the ability to cause problems, which I'm guessing to be the case based on your tone?

#iterator oc #tangled threads #scavengers are everywhere #and since their ability to make shit + very close knit communities allow them to survive quite well in the cold #they are a prominent presence in tt's facility grounds #many overseers are killed....... press f in the chat

have you tried walking yet?

Uh, F-Etch hopes this is working! It would seem some of his communication arrays are… Glitching? Damaged? Something is going on with them…

F-Etch hopes he is not interrupting anything, so please respond when you are able, IO!

…..This, uh, is to IO, right?

The possibilities those little critters hold are so fun to speculate about, I wonder if not for more dexterity intensive tasks like knitting have you ever observed them messing with the tech nearby? Perhaps managing to get a screw loose or something of the sort?

Your little braid suits you! It's cute, just like you.

Can you braid your wires or would that be ow?

Thoughts on black holes? They used to give me so much dread when I was younger but they're very interesting aren't they? Speaking of, do you believe in white holes/ worm holes? The things theorised to allow you to travel through time space? Do you think such phenomena can even exist ? What even is time anyhow, space can be observed but time is more complicated, I remember one book I read about the topic claiming that it's something we invented, and it's something as real as money, which messed with me for a while, but popular consensus seems to be that time and space are the same thing which is cool! But I'm still confused. Also what the fuck is up is up with the observer effect? Is the universe sentient? Does it get shy when people are looking at it so it behaves differently?? Or does it just like fucking with people? So many questions.

are you staying silly

#iterator oc #tangled threads #hey tt #i think your overseer wants to tell you something

Looked through some of your past logs. You also have a desire to leave your chamber! Like me. ..

I have been running tests and simulations, but so far I havnt found a good method. Two minds are better than one, though! Im sure we'll eventually figure something out.

I'd recommend taking a break now and then, or having another small project to work on. It makes it easier to not feel burnt out or hopeless. I've been designing flowers to withstand the rain. I hope I can plant them myself one day.

Is there something you'd like to do when you're able to leave? Just curious!
