Introduction :
This is a side blog, please take that into account about reply times. The number one request of this blog is to be patient! Mod is still reading and rewatching the series, characterization will improve as knowledge improves. [Currently reading : 3001]
Rules :
Gore, cosmic horror and other potentially triggering topics are allowed on this blog, be warned
Be respectful!
This is primarily “ask blog” based, run as if it is the characters personal account. Threads are allowed but dm if there’s any preplanning.
I will try to match the style a ask is in (being asked based or more of a thread “”)
Doubles are permitted. Each interaction is considered its own “universe” unless otherwise stated
Crossovers are limited to other science fiction or media that fits the feel of the series.
Dm for long term or more serious rp
This blog follows a mix of movie and book canon and is taken seriously. Joke asks and replies are fine but expect a in character response to shenanigans. I will try to avoid ooc behavior, it will be better the more my understanding grows.
Will not do meta reactions to photos unless they are posted by mod, similar reason to the tags. Separating and curating the experience as well as being more “serious” as a blog than jokey
Tagging system :
OOC -> anything out of character, blog updates etc
ASO Rp -> my posts will be out of the main tags this is how to find them
In character -> answered asks or other in character posts
Pod bay -> Headcanon and character related but not exactly in character
Show me -> image based post, character related
Bowman/🪐 -> ask/post in character
HAL/💥 -> ask/post in character
Verse : Canon -> all interactions that align with 2001 canon, not originally my idea but a great way to differentiation between AUs and other verses
Transmission : -> who the ask is from/current interaction
Muses :
This is technically a multi muse blog of both David Bowman and Hal 9000. They’ll be discernable through font and writing style but be sure to be specific in asks. Hal is a secondary muse and as stated above “doubles” are more than welcome.
As things are now,
Dave (Appears) 35 years old, currently in a sort of ‘middle state’ between fully recognizing what has happened to him and believing he is alone on the discovery. Sort of ghostly [currently reading 2010 and on this is my excuse to get away with my lack of knowledge non movie wise. This will change]
Hal is regaining his functions and holds large gaps in his memory, don’t reveal too much (2010 movie Hal essentially)
