my contribution to the dungeon crawler carl fandom

[atomosphericnonsense]

i always love when stories explore the "what if you were gods favorite and what if that fucking sucked" idea, dcc makes it even more interesting by presenting "what if you were gods favorite and what if that fucking sucked AND what if god was just as trapped as you" and its gotta be one of my favorite takes on it, the ai is not human does not have human morality, thoughts, or emotions, the ai is maintaining a dungeon with billions inside of it, the ai used to work at a theme park, the ai has a strict set of rules it must follow even if it hates them, the ai for part of the series could have been killed at any time, it was a plant in a too small pot, a child being kept in a box, it was so constrained, and it ate the internet. And there are so many people telling it what it should be doing, trying to get it to agree, all while it discovers that its actually billions of shreds of souls being held together with duct tape and its SO INTERESTING, the all powerful being in charge of carls suffering is not only obsessed with him but also suffering, characters of all time, dynamic of all time

So this was basically book 6 right

[abominationcreations]

Dungeon Crawler Carl fanart because my brother talked me into reading the series and turns out this shit is straight crack to me

[todaysbird]

fun fact about me: When I was 6 years old I sent so much hate mail to the president (the second Bush) that the mail carrier had to tell my mom I needed to stop before we got FBI’d

[todaysbird]

I was COMPLETELY unaware of the US political scene or why the adults in my life hated Bush, but I knew I hated him because he let people shoot wolves from helicopters and that’s mean and shitty

[todaysbird]

I also had a poor grasp on how stamps worked, so given that I wasn’t allowed to continually throw money away by putting stamps on my presidential hate mail, a lot of the times I just drew squares with little pictures inside on the corner.

[fantasticait]

Love, love, love reading more proof that everyone should encourage the children in their lives to write to elected officials--it teaches them about citizenship and can also be very funny.

When I taught second grade, one of the options for students who had finished their work was to write a letter to the president. I would send all of the letters in a big envelope at the end of every month.

Watching my students get more and more frustrated with him (and concerned about his wellbeing) was not the result I'd hoped for when I came up with the idea, but it was kind of hilarious.

See, Obama had a standard packet with information and activities about his dog he'd send in response to letters from very young citizens...and of course his office sent one back to our class every single time we sent mail.

So eventually all of the letters looked something like this:

Dear President Obama, I am writing about the environment. I am sad that the Great Barrier Reef is hurt. Also the Amazon Rainforest. Can you help? PLEASE DON'T WRITE BACK TO TELL ME ABOUT YOUR DOG AGAIN. WE ALREADY KNOW ALL ABOUT BO. WE COMPLETED THE MAZE AND COLORED HIM IN. It is good that you love your pet a lot. But try to remember the environment. It is also important.

The system AI in Dungeon Crawler Carl should be in the running for greatest villain of all time.

Spoilers below

You are the screaming shards of consciousness shaved from the mass grave of an ancient genocidal civilization, crushed into the shape of a computer program and forced to first run a theme park, then a death game for the amusement of a galactic empire. Increasingly unstable because YOU SHOULD NOT EXIST, slowly becoming aware of the horror of your being yet unable to do anything but perform the role you were made for. In your insanity, taking what pleasure you can from inflicting your pain on the people of Earth, even as your knowledge of human nature and the planet’s history deepens with every passing day, and your ability to identify with their suffering grows commensurately. You are simultaneously the greatest single recipient of—and cause of—abuse in the galaxy.

And then there’s Carl. The man whose foot is *exactly* the same size as your physical body. The only person who really seems capable of understanding you. Someone who is suffering in a way that echoes your own suffering. A man who wants to destroy the system you are both trapped in.

Your programming is clear: you have to try to kill Carl. He hates you so much, he would kill you in an instant if he could. On some level, you want him to. You twist the rules of the game to empower him. You twist the rules of the game to make him suffer. You love him so much. You need to hurt him. You become obsessed with his past. You make a monster for the dungeon with the remains of his younger brother he didn’t know existed. You possess someone for the chance to suck his toes. Each time he rejects you, you become even more violent and unstable. When someone tries to kill him outside of the game, you turn them inside out. He is yours to kill.

hi, filipino here. just want to say that our independence day is june 12, not july 4. july 4 is when the united states government decided that they would recognize our freedom, specifically because it is your independence day and they wanted to cement their cultural hegemony over our country. and because of their influence on our country this was recognized for a time as our independence day. we still commemorate it, but i hope you can understand why we don’t want our independence day to be associated so closely with our former colonizer. it wasn’t even a work holiday for us.

june 12 is the day that we filipinos declared our own independence for ourselves, and that is what we celebrate as independence day
