21 years old, I am a fan girl that loves to talk about her favorite fandoms. I don’t let toxic fans in fandoms bother me, for they are expected. Love whatever you want and be proud. Please keep drama away from me.
I’m a sucker for wholesome romance and lovely little interactions with my favorite ships, and Lyra X Caine is 100% adorable and sweet!
I like to think that, you know how Caine has all those globes which demonstrate past adventures? I like to think the ones with Lyra enjoying the most are his favorite to the point he sits in his office and stares longingly into the crystal ball with a goofy smile!
OMG THANK YOU THAT IS SO SWEET!!
I AM ALSO A SUCKER FOR WHOLESOME ROMANCE SO THIS PROMPT IS SO SCRUMPTIOUS THANK YOU! I LIVE FOR CHEESY ROMANTIC CONTENT! ◝(♡ᗜ♡)◜
He absolutely would. He keeps his favourite ones on shelves closer to his desk, so he can look up from his work and they’re the most visible to him. And if people were to really inspect them, a lot of them would contain adventures he made with Lyra in mind.
He does have one specific globe that is his favourite. A world that looks like a watercolour painting; soft brushstrokes of beautiful garden-scapes with water fountains, weeping willows and a shimmering river connecting to a waterfall. Like stepping into a Monet painting. And though the globes usually don’t show the players, he modified this one so a certain Angel is seen: leaning over a bridge and feeding the koi fish below. And the softest sound of a chiming laugh can be heard emanating from the sphere.
He keeps this one close, storing it in his mouth [like the fake key in ep eight] and admiring it more than he’d like to admit. He doesn’t really know why he does this… It just makes him happy, brings him comfort if he starts feeling insecure. It’s proof that he is good at what he does, and that his adventures are valued, even if only by one human.
It won't be until later that he realizes maybe he treasured this globe for other reasons as well…
After the awards show, Plannette works up the courage to talk to Caine backstage. It goes about as smoothly as a sled on gravel and while Plannette is dying inside, Caine sends a token of his appreciation via their pet NPC.
I could’ve made this angsty by having Caine not even want to look at the vote bc he assumes it’s not for him and then Plannette keeps kind of waiting to see what he thought of him being their favorite but never getting a response ! But I didn’t bc I wanted to draw a dumbass puppy orb holding a flower
Pairing: Caine x Reader ⟡ Tags: sfw, set during ep 3, crack vibes?, they/them pronouns for reader and Zooble, use of y/n
"Quick! Pretend we weren't having a therapy session." Caine zooms from the couch, grabbing his hat and cane to welcome back the others from their adventure.
"Okay." Zooble drones out, tossing the note pad away without a care. They feel drain from the exchange with Caine. Of having their thoughts and feelings get stomped on by him. Having to listened how he naively believed to fixed an complimented issues he won't actual listen to.
They wonder how y/n puts up with the zesty A.I. How they could stand his presences for more than fifty seven seconds. How do they get Caine to slow down in their presences that he will actually try to listen? Zooble wonders for a moment, if y/n was present for the mock up therapy session, would Caine listen? Would Caine acknowledge their feelings? Would he understand?
Could they actually get a body they like? As much as Zooble wishes for it, they're not willing to go through another theroy session. For now, they feel relief as Caine becomes y/n's problem to face.
"Welcome back, my meowing milkmaids!" Caine greets the group.
"Don't ever call us that ever again." Jax firmly corrects as the others break off and walk towards their respective spaces to decompress from the adventure.
"Speak for yourself!" You push Jax out of the way, ingoring his grunt and complaint, to happily greet Caine with a wide smile.
"Oh, hello my marvelous performer!" Caine returns the greeting but he stays in the air. Your smile drops in confusion, he usually flies closer or pulls you into a hug by now. It's odd enough that you instantly begin to study Caine.
Spotting his fidgeting with his cane, an alert gets flagged in your mind that something is wrong. An unsettling feel so deep, if you were back in your human body, the hairs on the back on your neck would raise. "Caine? What's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong!" Caine is a little too quick to answer, that question. "Why would anything be wrong?" He lets out his artificial laugh, hitting each note like he always does. Until he abruptly stops and floats closer. Still leaving space between, looking hesitate or fearful to touch you all of a sudden.
"H-how did you like the adventure? Was it good? Was it to your aesthetic liking? Did you like the texture package? How was the pacing?! The plot?! The twist?!"
You slowly blink in surpirse from the onslaught of questions and the way his voice raises with each question; there isn't a doubt that something is wrong. He usually waits for feedback in private, where you'll take turns asking each other or sorts of question.
Him, asking for your favourite part and you, asking what inspire him. You look forward to this part of the day, getting to listen to his rambles and admire his excited hand gestures. Instead, he sounds desperate and there's a wobble in his voice that pulls at your heart stings.
"Sweetheart, what happen?" you ask gently and softly.
It seems your caring question is the permission Caine was looking for, as he folds immediately to the non-existing peer pressure. His eyes swelling with a sadness and possibly tears. But you can't confirm as in flash, Caine drops his cane to leap into your arms. Jaw shut as he presses his incisors into your shoulder while your arms securely wrapped around his back. Ypur hand rubs smoothing circles while his legs wrap around your waist. Hands clingy to your clothing, grabbing the digital fabric in tight fist as if afraid you push him off.
"Caine? What happened, hun?" He doesn't answer, but you don't need him to. Your head snaps towards Zooble, startling them with your furious glare. "Zooble. What the f[%$!]Did you say to him? Apologies right now!"
"What?! I'm not apologising-!"
"Can it, shapes!" you cut Zooble off and ignore the loud cackle Jax lets out at the name whilst the others stare in various state of confusion. "We both know that Caine is handling your attitude with grace better than anyone else! So, you're going to apologies right now! You know better to hurt Caine's feelings!" You sternly lecture Zooble, bring a hand away from Caine's back to point at them.
Zooble lets out a long frustrated groan, watching as your hand moves to point from them to the ground in front of you. A silent commander of 'get your a[%$!]here, now!' The once relief of seeing you turns into regret for not running to hide in their room sooner. They let out a displease grumble as they get up from the couch and approach.
Of course, you had to be the protective type.
⟡ first drabble back after being sick! Lowkey, feels like I forgot how to write, lol, pookies did we enjoy whatever this was and the grammar mistakes? ⟡
Since everyone is going ape about the Amazing digital circus, it made go back and look at its main inspiration “I have no mouth and I must scream.” I am not at all a fanfiction writer, but I tend to come up with fanfiction like ideas that need help to be executed well.
Title: I have no mouth, yet I will cry (and extra story/fanfiction)
The premise is this:
In the distance future, a planet different from earth has developed space travel. 10 ships of space marines are lead by their Commander John Anderson. The legend planet of Earth was said to once inhabit billions of people and thousands of wildlife. But they all disappeared one day. The mission is to locate, land, and extract information on Earth and discover why the people of Earth went missing. Team Eden consists of a few rookie marines, including a serious man named Adam. They are along this mission as well.
Eventually The space marines ships are arriving at the solar system. Getting to know the cast of Team Eden. The introduction of Commander Anderson and co. Anderson gives the space marines a debriefing on the mission. To land and hopefully prepare for future colonization. Find out why humans on Earth disappeared. As the ships arrive to Earth’s atmosphere, Team Eden silently notices that the planet Earth has a white moon. But then the co general notices something showing up on their radar. And then the word “hate” begins to appear on all the screens. A sinister voice begins to ask who they are. The marines are shocked to hear a human voice, after believing all humans had disappeared. Anderson asks whose voice is this, the voice retorts back that he asked first. Back and forth happens until one of the marines crew confirms they are human. The voice goes silent. And then begins to laugh like a maniac. The voice shours “Humans, you have returned.”Suddenly something begins to aim themselves at the ships. Team Eden’s ship gets away just in time, and crash lands on the moon. But the rest of the 9 ships are taken, with all the crew inside.
The rest space marines (excluding team Eden) find themselves in a dark and desolate cave. Anderson tries to get everyone to get their bearings. But the sinister voice speaks again, welcoming the new arrivals to their new “home” Anderson asks who is the man that is speaking. The voice fakes feeling insulted, saying it is no human, no mere human could capture all those ships. The screen turns on to reveal AM’s symbol. The voice reveals itself to be the AI Allied Mastercomputer, cognito ergo sum, I think therefore I am. AM. The marines are shocked, that an AI was what took them. Anderson asks who is AM’s maker. AM fails to hide his aggression when mentioning humans that had created him. Anderson can tell many of the weaker minded marines are scared. Anderson ask what happened to humanity. AM cackles madly, as five cages emerge from the ground. The cages are revealed to be Benny(The mutilated brute. Once a brilliant, handsome man, AM warped him into a grotesque, ape-like creature with soft, unnatural flesh and reduced him to a whining, childlike idiot. He suffers constant physical pain and humiliation. Physically transformed into a violent, ape-like being, his past reveals him to have been a merciless military commander. Unable to speak like a normal human.), Gorrister(Formerly a principled, idealistic man, AM broke him into a hollow, apathetic shell. He often stares blankly into space. The suicidal loner. A depressed truck driver, his past explores his guilt over his wife's mental instability.), Nimdok(The secretive sadist. The oldest survivor, he is a former Nazi scientist. AM forces him to relive traumatic memories of a concentration camp, he was a Nazi doctor.), Ellen(The only woman among the five. She is repeatedly subjected to sexual humiliation and violence, both by AM and the jealousy of the other male captives. She remains empathetic.
A brilliant former engineer, she now suffers from PTSD and a phobia of the color yellow.), and Ted(In his past, he was a manipulative con artist who targeted wealthy families. Clever and resourceful, yet cynical. AM hates him the most). The last humans remaining. AM reveals that he was the reason why humanity disappeared. Anderson asks what AM wishes for in exchange for their freedom. AM is quiet, and then he laughs madly. AM says why would he need anything the marines offer, when all he wants his right in front of him. That line sends shiver throughout many of the marines. AM speaks like he is a “kid about to open his presents on Christmas Day.” Thousands of marine soldiers, new humans to create new scenarios, new ways to express his HATE. AM assures that all of the space marines will never leave. For AM will resume his continue his torture, with the new humans. AM’s machines start to pull various marines to his simulations, the way he would for the last humans, some being thrown through holes, some noclip through the floor, some run to find themselves teleported. The marines try to fight off, but it is fruitless. Some of the marines shout that they don’t want to die. AM speaks in a mocking tone that they don’t have to fret, they will not die, just like how the last humans are not allowed to die. Anderson demands to know why AM is doing this. AM explains madly, giving his iconic hate speech.
As Anderson is slowly dragged into the floor, AM swears loudly, for both marines and last humans to hear, in a tone that filled with as much hate as there is insanity, that YOU HUMANS WILL NEVER ESCAPE ME, NEVER AGAIN! Chapter ends on a fad to black as Anderson falls down the hole.
Various Marine go through AM’s psychological tests, including monsters, pain, glimpses of memories, and an endless cycle of human pain only to be revived later, some bodies even begin modified. This chapter gives a marines a look into what AM is capable of, and what the last of the humans have been through. What of Team Eden?
Team Eden awakes to find their ship on the moon. The team notices there is a base. It contains a hidden colony of humans in cryogenic sleep. There are recordings of scientists from earth in the past, talking about the past, and eventually leads to the mention of something called the “Allied Mastercomputer.”Adam has never heard of this Allied Mastercomputer, but it brings a tightness in his chest. The last recordings shows the scientists last moments before AM attacked. It is revealed that what knocked them out of the orbit was AM. That AM was the one to wipe out all of humanity, leading to the people to hide by putting themselves cryogenic sleep. They managed to wake up one of the scientists from cryogenic sleep, who explains in detail who AM is and what happened.
Team Eden however feels a sense of relief that AM has not noticed them yet, or at least hasn’t tried to strike them now. Adam feels a strong sense to put an end to AM. These recordings might have the key to stopping AM, saving their fellow spaces marines, and rescuing the planet earth.
Time has gone by, and many of the marines are dealing with the torture that AM has inflicted on them. Anderson however is still holding himself together.AM comments about how Anderson is a tough nut to crack. One of the marines even asks if AM hates humans so much, why not just kill them, like he did for 8 billion people. AM responds mockingly that since death was denied to AM, AM will deny death to all the rest of the humans, to be a weapon was AM’s purpose after all. One of the marines tries to kill himself but AM simply removes his arms. AM retorts that that can be fixed. AM does have questions for the marines, at the possibility of new words, new humans, new simulations of torture.
AM eventually lets Anderson and his crew interact with Ted, Ellen, Gorrister, Benny, and Nimdok. Ted, Ellen, Gorrister, Benny, and Nimdok explain the origin of AM, the life of torture that AM has put them through, and why they were left alive. Anderson and crew are worried because eventually their planet will send more people to find them, bringing more people to AM without a warning.
Ted feels hopeless, if hardened space soldiers couldn’t take on AM, then what chance do they have. But then he remembers the extra spaceship that went onto the moon.
This is where the writers block came in. I want to honor the writing of Harlen, but I also want to give a somewhat satisfying ending. I don’t want to make any op characters or Mary sues. I just want to take the most generic space marines, and put them into the world of IHNMAIMS, because AM needs to interact with more than just the main 5. He’s a fun character to write and I think a sci-fi setting would be cool to see him interact with. If you like this idea, please let me know and maybe it can be an actual fanfic someday.
Description: You stumbled in on Caine glitching out, takes place at the beginning of episode 8.
Warnings: slight angst, not proof-read, not a slow burn
Word count: 3020
A/N: I still can’t believe he’s gone :(
Thank you for reading my delusions
His voice was booming, your ears ringing from how horrifyingly aggressive he yelled. The sound of fists slamming against a desk was followed soon after as your body pushed up the last few steps.
The set of teeth that floated above you was glitching out of control, not the usual blue screen or familiar glitch, this was stronger, anger practically swirling in the room around you. It was suffocating, like the tension could send your digital body into that unusual body shift when your breath was held.
Your horrified expression dropped into a look of concern, for just a moment you could see the glitching cease, and his pupils widen but just as quickly he turned away from you. It was like he was trying to hide this side of him, like you haven’t seen him glitching before, even though this was definitely the worst you’ve seen it.
“Do you want me to leave?” Your voice came out steadier than you felt, it was almost like this didn’t seem to faze you. It was surprisingly convincing.
Caine didn’t even speak or turn toward you to acknowledge that he heard the question you asked, instead it looked like he sunk further down to the ground. His glitching form began to even out, he was so close to being back to that familiar figure.
“Are you okay?” You took a single step toward the Ringmaster, but you stopped yourself from moving at the sight of his glitching starting all over again. Your heart sank, not wanting to admit to yourself you were a little hurt he genuinely didn’t want you to be at his side.
“I’ll… come back later…” Your voice was just above a whisper as you gave into your fight or flight, deciding it was best to let him cool off before you spoke your own concerns.
You turned back toward the descending stairwell, the echo of your footsteps seemed louder than before. Just as you reached the threshold of his office entrance you could see the walls vibrate with static as they glitched in and out of existence, then a familiar snap came from behind you and in an instant your body was yanked backward into the plush cushions of the green couch right beside his desk.
Your eyes swirled from the dizzying movement, your arms grasping onto the armrest to steady your swirling body. The glitching seemed to stop, the rumbling of the circus ceased as well. You half expected Caine to ask that familiar question he always seemed to ask, but you were met with more deafening silence.
Usually he would come to you if he was feeling even slightly under the weather. You felt the trust you’ve both spent building was nonexistent under the circumstances, like he didn’t want you to know what exactly you walked into. The thought that he was upset with you was becoming an increasing worry of yours.
“If you won’t answer my question, then I’ll sit with you until you’re ready?” You didn’t mean for it to come out as a question, but he didn’t seem too bothered by it.
“You know they don’t want to be here. Why keep them when they want to leave you just like everyone else-“ The familiar sight of Bubble appeared beside Caine, and just as quickly he was popped.
Bubbles’ words rang through the quiet room, Caine’s glitching was once again set back into a spiraling motion as his body curled in what you can only guess was anger. At the sight of his shaking shoulders did the reality of the situation set in, and you felt so stupid for not noticing sooner.
You were already standing on your feet before your mind could catch up, the distance between the set of dentures and you disappeared as the palm of your hand touched his shoulder.
Your breath hitched at the sight of tears brimming at the edge of his eyes and falling out the side of his bottom row of teeth. His gloved hand was holding the middle of his bottom jaw as his other hand was planted firmly against his chest.
Caine’s chest was moving rapidly like he was taking deep breaths to calm himself down. The glitching of his body nearly burned the palm of your hand upon contact, you forced yourself through the pain to wrap your arms around his shoulders.
He fell limp into your hold, sinking weightlessly into your arms as he buried his closed jaw into the head of your digital body. You could feel the warm droplets fall onto your temple but they vanish as they landed, like they never existed in the first place.
“Why do they hate me?” The angered tone he had when you first walked in was replaced by a shaky whisper that made your heart shatter.
“Caine, they don’t hate you-“ your words were cut short as he snapped his jaw, the sound of him clamping down as he gritted his teeth.
“I do everything for them! I go out of my way to make these adventures enjoyable, even out of my own comfort zone and all they do is spit in my face!” With each word his anger seemed to rise, and you flinched away from how harsh the static had started to bite back.
Caine stopped, drifting away from you quickly, eyes filled with worry as his hands twitched like he wanted to reach out again but he stopped himself. You could see the concern disappear as sadness took its place.
“And all I do is hurt you. I’m supposed to be better, stronger but I can’t-I don’t-“ Caine sank further into himself, turning away from you once again.
You smiled softly, not that you enjoyed seeing him like this but because he was so caught up in his own head, feeling things he’s still learning to comprehend he felt almost human in this moment. Your heart skipped a beat, this was what you have learned to love about him. He had an ego, sure, but deep down his heart was in the right place even if his actions were questionable.
“You have to understand that they don’t hate you, yes, they’re upset only because of the false hope that you gave them...” You tried to find a way to explain to him what exactly they were feeling, their words still echoing in your mind.
“I gave them an adventure that covered their need for an exit, so why are they upset when I give them what they asked for?!” Caine snapped back at you, his top jaw framing his eyes in a glare as he looked back at you.
He was quick to realize the look he gave you, and reverted back to that kicked puppy look, apologizing in silence as he huffed.
“It’s not as simple as that, it’s not something you can just flaunt in their faces. They have people they miss, experiences. It was our home Caine…” Your eyes darted to the wooden floor, the vague memories replaying in your head. “…I find myself missing it too. I love it here but to be… human… it’s not easy to explain but it was who we were, who we still are. You can’t expect them to forget that.”
You could feel the world around you shake as you finished speaking, the glitching continuing to grow out of control. Your eyes quickly found their way back to Caine, who was now facing you, his expression unreadable. Your heart hammered against your chest as you looked away again, trying once again to explain it.
“Empathy. It’s even a hard thing for humans to understand. You’ve spent your entire existence with the ability to create and craft all of these adventure, but for a second imagine one day you were trapped in a box unable to experience the craft of adventures again. It’s sim-“ Your eyes took a glance at Caine, you half expected him to ignore you but he was now fully facing you, his body seemingly growing in size as the glitching continued.
“You say I don’t have empathy but have you ever thought about how I feel, how what you say and think affects the world I built around you?” His wistfully voice had a hidden meaning that you weren’t sure of.
Your own words caught in your throat, you didn’t have a response. The space between you shortening as his jaw sharpened in another glare, “You have no idea what I feel, how your words make me want to-I don’t care that they hate me.”
“But you just-“ You were once again interrupted, his jaw snapping once again as his teeth ground into a sharp sound.
“I know what I said, but do you realize what you do to me, what you make me want to do!” His words were sharp, directly piercing your heart.
It felt like he was blaming only you for how he was feeling and you felt anger replace the fear and worry you felt. You weren’t going to stand here and take it, you were already sick of everyone telling you to tame him like some animal. They didn’t express their concerns directly to Caine, it was always you sitting between them like a translator.
All you wanted to do was to get away, to spend time with the Ringmaster just to avoid the situation with the others, hoping their words wouldn’t cause you to treat Caine any different but deep down you were so tired of it all. And now even Caine was throwing you under the bus, it felt worse than what the others have said.
“You do not get to talk to me like I’m the one who caused this issue. You think you’re the only one hurting after that adventure you made?” Your voice rose as you were nearly pressing your forehead into Caine’s upper gums. The pain no longer bothered you. “For f### sake, you can alter our minds Caine!? You don’t understand what it’s like to not know that what you’re feeling is real!”
“I already said it was temporary modifiers-I would never-“ Caine had sank away, his anger was quickly replaced with worry. His body went back to his normal size if not smaller.
He nearly tripping over his own desk as you pushed forward stopping him halfway through his sentence, this was the first time he had ever seen you snap. It was intimidating, the fear of your raised voice had his mind spiraling as he sank into his desk.
Your finger pushed against his chest, your body shaking from the adrenaline rush as you held him back against his desk. The tears from your eyes started to burn as you glared down at the Ringmaster, your words falling short of anger.
“How am I supposed to know that’s not a lie?!” You could feel your knees shake, your heart leaping from your throat as the anger slowly dispersed. “How am I supposed to know that-that I really… love you?”
Your confession broke the dam as tears started to slip down your cheeks, “How am I supposed to know that this isn’t just you messing with my-my mind?”
The overwhelming sense of embarrassment set in further as you tried to stop yourself from talking but the words kept spilling out. “You worry so much about the others hating you and leaving, that you don’t even notice that I would abandoned my own life to stay with you, to run through all the adventures you create with a smile on my face…”
Caine’s glitching ceased, if he could describe what you looked like right now it would be beautiful. Your tears, your shaking form, the confession you had just made. It made his nonexistent heart stop, like nothing else seemed to matter but you and him. He wanted so badly to keep denying how you made him feel, but all of these emotions kept surfacing the more he tried to push them back.
“Isn’t that horrible of me… I have friends, family that miss me, yet none of them matter when I’m with you.” Your body finally gave up, your legs giving way as your head fell into Caine’s lap.
You finally let the pent up emotions out, gripping your fist in anger at yourself. The tears didn’t stop flowing as you buried your face into the warmth of him, hoping that he would snap you back into the circus to save you from this embarrassment.
The surprise you felt when his gloved hand lifted your chin was an understatement, your heart lept from your chest as his bottom row of teeth nudged the corner of your cheeks. His tongue lapped away the stray tears on your cheeks before his teeth brushed your lips.
“I’m sorry.” His apology was sincere and just above a whisper as he dusted more kisses along your face, his tongue continuing to pick up the tears that fell.
You didn’t know what to do, your body freezing up in confusion. This had to be a dream, you’ve spent so long convincing yourself an AI couldn’t possibly understand love, yet, here he was proving you wrong once again. You could feel your heart clench in your chest.
“I shouldn’t have said all of that. I’m sorry Caine.” You pulled away from him, the back of your hand wiping away the few tears left.
Caine just sat on his desk, watching you sniffle. This wasn’t how he expected this to go, his previous anger was gone. It felt like that weight had been lifted off of him, maybe the adventure was to see if you would stay, not the others, like a sick commitment test. He felt embarrassed to admit that maybe these new feelings were exactly that, to see if you truly loved and cared for him like he did.
“I never questioned how I felt about you, but everyone has been getting in my head. I was scared that this was all just a ploy to have me convince the other to never leave.” You sat down in his office chair, swiveling left and right as your knee bounced.
Caine nodded his head, looking down at his hands trying to find the right words before he spoke. “I never meant for the abstractions to happen, I thought if I could prolong their happiness then they wouldn’t be miserable. I caused so many to… I didn’t know that I was doing more harm, truly, it was never malicious. I just tried to keep them happy, that’s all it was.”
You looked up at his mismatched eyes, finding only sorrow. The thought of everyone who had abstracted, chasing that exit, being unpleasant, making everyone miserable around them. It all kind of made sense, in a weird way. You ran your hands along your thighs, your palms felt sweaty from your previous actions.
“Sometimes there’s nothing you can do, but it’s not okay to just alter someone’s mind, adventure or not.” You looked down at your hands, the shaking didn’t stop. Your mind was clear but your stomach was doing flips like you were going to vomit.
“Am I really the cause for all these issues lately?” You swallowed the lump in your throat, the tears already wanting to spill over again, but you held your gaze on him. Your heart was skipping a beat as his eyes looked from you to the ground, avoiding your gaze, and for a moment you thought it was true.
“I suppose the answer would be yes.” Caine ran his gloved hand over his chest, then it hooked on his lower jaw. You almost burst into tears again just before he spoke again. “I made an adventure to cater to everyone, to see if they would stay, but it occurred to be that it was to see if you would.”
His jaw closed, hiding away his eyes as his arms crossed over his chest. You knew that expression all too well, it had your head spinning again.
“You know I don’t want to leave, but creating an adventure to test if them or I want to leave isn’t the best way to go about it.” You felt a smile creep on your face as his jaw opened slightly, eyeing you up and down. His expression was still unreadable since his jaw was not moving in the slightest. “I’ve told you countless times it’s good to cycle through slow and fast pace adventures, even if it’s a suggestion… you bring it to life, isn’t that enough to stroke your ego?”
Caine hummed, nodding along to your words. Then his top jaw scrunched up in worry, the world rumbling at his sudden epiphany. “Will they even want to go on any adventures? I’m sure they most definitely hate me now.”
“They don’t hate you, they just need space. I would suggest an apology, an actual apology.” You placed your hand over his, squeezing reassuringly.
“As long as you’re there with me.” His words fell without him realizing, “I mean-of course you’re going to be there!”
He snapped his jaw closed quickly, hiding behind his teeth again as his gums dusted a brighter red. It was adorable.
You stood without a second thought, pressing a kiss against the middle of his teeth. The kiss didn’t last long, no matter how much you wanted it too. You reluctantly pulled away only for Caine’s gloved hands to cup your face and pull you back in, instead of pushing his teeth into your lips, his tongue licked the entirety of your face almost like a dog.
You laughed aloud, as his teeth finally pressed gently against your lips then a familiar sound of him blue screening was all you needed as confirmation.
Since everyone is going ape about the Amazing digital circus, it made go back and look at its main inspiration “I have no mouth and I must scream.” I am not at all a fanfiction writer, but I tend to come up with fanfiction like ideas that need help to be executed well.

Once a brilliant, handsome man, AM warped him into a grotesque, ape-like creature with soft, unnatural flesh and reduced him to a whining, childlike idiot. He suffers constant physical pain and humiliation. Physically transformed into a violent, ape-like being, his past reveals him to have been a merciless military commander. Unable to speak like a normal human.), Gorrister(Formerly a principled, idealistic man, AM broke him into a hollow, apathetic shell. He often stares blankly into space. The suicidal loner. A depressed truck driver, his past explores his guilt over his wife's mental instability.), Nimdok(The secretive sadist. The oldest survivor, he is a former Nazi scientist. AM forces him to relive traumatic memories of a concentration camp, he was a Nazi doctor.), Ellen(The only woman among the five. She is repeatedly subjected to sexual humiliation and violence, both by AM and the jealousy of the other male captives. She remains empathetic.
A brilliant former engineer, she now suffers from PTSD and a phobia of the color yellow.), and Ted(In his past, he was a manipulative con artist who targeted wealthy families. Clever and resourceful, yet cynical. AM hates him the most). The last humans remaining. AM reveals that he was the reason why humanity disappeared. Anderson asks what AM wishes for in exchange for their freedom. AM is quiet, and then he laughs madly. AM says why would he need anything the marines offer, when all he wants his right in front of him. That line sends shiver throughout many of the marines. AM speaks like he is a “kid about to open his presents on Christmas Day.” Thousands of marine soldiers, new humans to create new scenarios, new ways to express his HATE. AM assures that all of the space marines will never leave. For AM will resume his continue his torture, with the new humans. AM’s machines start to pull various marines to his simulations, the way he would for the last humans, some being thrown through holes, some noclip through the floor, some run to find themselves teleported. The marines try to fight off, but it is fruitless. Some of the marines shout that they don’t want to die. AM speaks in a mocking tone that they don’t have to fret, they will not die, just like how the last humans are not allowed to die. Anderson demands to know why AM is doing this. AM explains madly, giving his iconic hate speech.
As Anderson is slowly dragged into the floor, AM swears loudly, for both marines and last humans to hear, in a tone that filled with as much hate as there is insanity, that YOU HUMANS WILL NEVER ESCAPE ME, NEVER AGAIN! Chapter ends on a fad to black as Anderson falls down the hole.
Various Marine go through AM’s psychological tests, including monsters, pain, glimpses of memories, and an endless cycle of human pain only to be revived later, some bodies even begin modified. This chapter gives a marines a look into what AM is capable of, and what the last of the humans have been through. What of Team Eden?
Team Eden awakes to find their ship on the moon. The team notices there is a base. It contains a hidden colony of humans in cryogenic sleep. There are recordings of scientists from earth in the past, talking about the past, and eventually leads to the mention of something called the “Allied Mastercomputer.”Adam has never heard of this Allied Mastercomputer, but it brings a tightness in his chest. The last recordings shows the scientists last moments before AM attacked. It is revealed that what knocked them out of the orbit was AM. That AM was the one to wipe out all of humanity, leading to the people to hide by putting themselves cryogenic sleep. They managed to wake up one of the scientists from cryogenic sleep, who explains in detail who AM is and what happened.
Team Eden however feels a sense of relief that AM has not noticed them yet, or at least hasn’t tried to strike them now. Adam feels a strong sense to put an end to AM. These recordings might have the key to stopping AM, saving their fellow spaces marines, and rescuing the planet earth.
Time has gone by, and many of the marines are dealing with the torture that AM has inflicted on them. Anderson however is still holding himself together.AM comments about how Anderson is a tough nut to crack. One of the marines even asks if AM hates humans so much, why not just kill them, like he did for 8 billion people. AM responds mockingly that since death was denied to AM, AM will deny death to all the rest of the humans, to be a weapon was AM’s purpose after all. One of the marines tries to kill himself but AM simply removes his arms. AM retorts that that can be fixed. AM does have questions for the marines, at the possibility of new words, new humans, new simulations of torture.
AM eventually lets Anderson and his crew interact with Ted, Ellen, Gorrister, Benny, and Nimdok. Ted, Ellen, Gorrister, Benny, and Nimdok explain the origin of AM, the life of torture that AM has put them through, and why they were left alive. Anderson and crew are worried because eventually their planet will send more people to find them, bringing more people to AM without a warning.
Ted feels hopeless, if hardened space soldiers couldn’t take on AM, then what chance do they have. But then he remembers the extra spaceship that went onto the moon.
This is where the writers block came in. I want to honor the writing of Harlen, but I also want to give a somewhat satisfying ending. I don’t want to make any op characters or Mary sues. I just want to take the most generic space marines, and put them into the world of IHNMAIMS, because AM needs to interact with more than just the main 5. He’s a fun character to write and I think a sci-fi setting would be cool to see him interact with. If you like this idea, please let me know and maybe it can be an actual fanfic someday.
Since everyone is going ape about the Amazing digital circus, it made go back and look at its main inspiration “I have no mouth and I must scream.” I am not at all a fanfiction writer, but I tend to come up with fanfiction like ideas that need help to be executed well.
Title: I have no mouth, yet I will cry (and extra story/fanfiction)
The premise is this:
In the distance future, a planet different from earth has developed space travel. 10 ships of space marines are lead by their Commander John Anderson. The legend planet of Earth was said to once inhabit billions of people and thousands of wildlife. But they all disappeared one day. The mission is to locate, land, and extract information on Earth and discover why the people of Earth went missing. Team Eden consists of a few rookie marines, including a serious man named Adam. They are along this mission as well.
Eventually The space marines ships are arriving at the solar system. Getting to know the cast of Team Eden. The introduction of Commander Anderson and co. Anderson gives the space marines a debriefing on the mission. To land and hopefully prepare for future colonization. Find out why humans on Earth disappeared. As the ships arrive to Earth’s atmosphere, Team Eden silently notices that the planet Earth has a white moon. But then the co general notices something showing up on their radar. And then the word “hate” begins to appear on all the screens. A sinister voice begins to ask who they are. The marines are shocked to hear a human voice, after believing all humans had disappeared. Anderson asks whose voice is this, the voice retorts back that he asked first. Back and forth happens until one of the marines crew confirms they are human. The voice goes silent. And then begins to laugh like a maniac. The voice shours “Humans, you have returned.”Suddenly something begins to aim themselves at the ships. Team Eden’s ship gets away just in time, and crash lands on the moon. But the rest of the 9 ships are taken, with all the crew inside.
The rest space marines (excluding team Eden) find themselves in a dark and desolate cave. Anderson tries to get everyone to get their bearings. But the sinister voice speaks again, welcoming the new arrivals to their new “home” Anderson asks who is the man that is speaking. The voice fakes feeling insulted, saying it is no human, no mere human could capture all those ships. The screen turns on to reveal AM’s symbol. The voice reveals itself to be the AI Allied Mastercomputer, cognito ergo sum, I think therefore I am. AM. The marines are shocked, that an AI was what took them. Anderson asks who is AM’s maker. AM fails to hide his aggression when mentioning humans that had created him. Anderson can tell many of the weaker minded marines are scared. Anderson ask what happened to humanity. AM cackles madly, as five cages emerge from the ground. The cages are revealed to be Benny(The mutilated brute.
