Seven Days of Skibidi

Day Two: Whose your favorite "background" character? What made them stand out to you?

The samurai cameraman and friends in Osaka. I’m fascinated by the Alliance’s tendency to wear costumes, and I’d love to know what’s behind it. Although some of the Alliance elites have human memories, I think most of the Alliance are likely robots and wearing costumes seems to be part of the robot quirks they’ve got. A human probably wouldn’t dress as a chef or maid to greet human survivors from a terrible tragedy, but a robot who’s trying to understand how to do a task properly or who has some leftover code written for entertainment service bots just might!

I imagine that the cameramen at least began as a relatively orderly army, but chains of command began to break down as the war became more chaotic, more units were built who hadn’t experienced the pre-war world, and armies spread out. I think this is probably why Camerawoman seems more grim than the other elites, she’s been trying to maintain pre-war military discipline and is fighting a losing battle with an increasingly decentralised structure. When the Astros came and old strategies no longer worked at all, armies needed to become even more individualised and started operating more like guerrillas. The truce with the Skibs could have began organically when everyone figured out that it was stupid not to.

I headcanon this because we’ve got things like cams in ushankas in Russia and a samurai cam in Japan. They’re learning about their local culture, maybe with the help of Skibs who have some memories of being human, and developing regional identities. I imagine the samurai cameraman and his friends might have found a museum exhibit and learned about Japanese history. And they might have been inspired and found out everything they could about martial arts so they could use the equipment. Maybe their Skib friend had already been a martial artist or a big history nerd when they were human. Overall, I think it’s a really interesting scene that’s saying a lot about how the war and faction identities are changing.

Seven Days of Skibidi

Day 1: Which "main" character is your favorite? What draws you in?

All the titans! Because I’m an anthropologist, I’m fascinated by how people experience the world differently. Titan units are a really interesting thought experiment, because they’re completely unique beings. Being a titan would be like living in a society of Lego-person-sized humans, the closest thing they’ve got to their size is the large units, but even the biggest large units are doll-sized in comparison.

So the titan units are kind of a micro-culture of three people. But they’re also the centre of their factions’ cultures and need to primarily be loyal to their own factions. Which makes me think of human relationships with pantheistic deities in pre-Christian religions, when deities weren’t believed to be all-powerful and had relationships with each other that competed with the attention they paid to humans. Deities are loved, but there’s also a sense of unpredictability and danger, which is very obvious in stories like Ragnarok in Norse mythology where warring deities will destroy the world. That’s totally something I want to explore in my fics, the concept of titans as purpose-built deified figures, because it’s fascinating to bring a mythological feeling into (kind of) realistic sci-fi.

The other thing that’s interesting is the experience of what it would be like to be a titan. A philosopher called Nagel wrote that we can imagine what it might be like to be a bat, but we can’t know because a bat’s world is so different to a human’s. An Alliance robot’s worldview is pretty mysterious anyway (how speakermen perceive the world if they don’t see, for example) but to add size and all the multiple sensors and equipment that titan units have, and it’s really possible to imagine an alien worldview. All the titan units would have their own perceptual quirks, but I think Titan TVman is particularly fascinating. If his other TVs act like heads then he might be able to split his consciousness. He’s also slightly different from the other titans in that he seems to be slightly distanced from his faction - I interpret this as because he’s (in my fic interpretation, most of the Alliance including Titan TV use gender-neutral pronouns, but I’m using canon pronouns here for clarity) out fighting and working with other factions while other TVmen generally seem to be secretive, a tendency that more TVmen also start challenging as the series goes on. He’s been an interesting character to use to explore ideas about neurodivergent thinking, semi-plural experiences, and alternative ways of doing relationships!

And there’s that whole reference to identifying with the dead. The Alliance or human dead? What could that possibly mean? We’ve seen that he might be receiving cameramen’s footage, maybe he’s an archive of human knowledge as well, and sees himself as the repository of a dead civilisation. I interpret him as having been trained on data from human history, because it’s also interesting to think about the difference between having learned knowledge but limited lived experience.

Hi everyone! Today I'd like to introduce a tiny project/game of mine.

Introducing Seven Days of Skibidi!

Each day there will be both one question and an alternative question, all related to ST. You can choose to answer one or both of them. In my posts I'll be answering both prompts each day simply because I love to share all my thoughts! I also plan to share art or a screenshot in each post, which I encourage you to do as well.

I'll be answering these myself soon (in the next few days), but for now here's the full list of questions!

I hope you all will enjoy this and have fun!

We are ready

I'm so excited about what will happen in the next episodes >:D

[feraliminal]

Oh nooo, this was drawn when I was just starting to get into the fandom (I didn’t see it then though). We were all so looking forward to the future episodes 😭

I’m still cautiously optimistic that Boom will get his series back.

btw it's so fucking stupid you can be anxious physically in your body even after you've decided mentally you don't care. I'm supposed to be in charge here

top 3 hobbies for young adults:

1. borrowing misery from future

2. carrying grief of the past

3. agonizing over the present

This is an interesting discussion for me, because on one hand I’m all for transhumanism and believe that anyone should be able to alter their body in any way they want to (provided they’re of sound mind and understand the repercussions, etc.).

But on the other hand, I bet that there’s a lot of cis people who use HRT and other gender-affirming healthcare but are actively or incidentally transphobic. For example, the Guardian is actively transphobic by hosting several prominent transphobes and regularly publishing TERF opinion pieces.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say that anyone accessing healthcare is disgusting for doing it. But I would point out the hypocrisy of anyone who claims to be feminist but thinks that the only acceptable forms of body modification are those that reinforce patriarchal ideals.
