Title: Dungeons and Fern
Considering how many things there were in Ooo, one would think that there could be a cure-all potion for cripplingly low self-esteem. Or, at least some sort of medication for said problem.
Alas, Glob was more detail oriented than goal oriented. You could see sentient mountains whining at violence and grow rock-scale skin from drinking gruel, but intrinsic personal problems? Those were still a mystery.
You wish you could give Fern a potion to make him happy. A tincture for all the wounds eyes cannot see. You feel like your boyfriend has done so much for you, and seeing your favorite grass man spiral does a number on your own self-esteem, to be honest.
Anyways, that's codependency for another day. Right now, a dungeon needed exploring.
A cave. A little darkness, and then, light. Being a wizard was handy sometimes. Fire in your palm, you lit the way.
Walls were lined with red words, little orange cones and yellow stripes on the ground that were just at the threshold of ditches with long, metal tubes. You knew what trains were, but the trains down here looked more like metal coffins. They were eerie. So were all the skeletons at your feet.
You looked back at Fern. You smiled, and he blushed. His eyebrows were furrowed.
Ah! A map, how handy. It wasn't too hard to figure out, too!
'You Are Here,' Follow the red dot, and then the blue line, and you could get where you're going. You jumped into the pit, and vanished into the dark tunnels. Fern trailed behind you.
"You're quiet today. Anything wrong?" It was a hushed question you spoke. There was A Vibe in these old tunnels you did not want to mess with too badly. After awhile, you learned to appreciate them, all the colorful graffiti scrawled on them too.
"I'm evil," His words crept to your ears like perfume. It was there, and then gone.
"We've been over this. You're not,"
"There's literally a demon inside of me," A little louder this time. Perfume turned to smoke.
You stopped in your tracks and turned around fast enough to see Fern's pupils still having to adjust to the lighting change. There was a moment of tenseness you both felt, slightly predatory and preylike on both ends.
"That demon does not constitute who your whole self is. A part of you is formed by the new experiences you go through, and some of that in your personality is completely isolated from what you've been born as," Your wizard mind liked to go on tangents and force your mouth to voice them. Sometimes they helped Fern in his journey, and sometimes they did not.
He still looked conflicted, damn.
"I'm evil," Smoke turned into a thick fog.
"Prove it, kill me." A gamble, sure. But you knew your bet had won when Fern's face went from anger to shock.
"I-I'd never!-" His voice got a lot higher when you said quick stuff like that. When you disarmed his defenses in less than a second. To be fair, you do the same thing when roles are reversed.
"Then you aren't evil, dingus. C'mon," You grabbed his hand, interlaced his fingers with yours, and gave him a kiss. You always liked how his grassy lips tickled yours. He's such a sweet man, how you've fallen in love with him. "Let's go explore the rest of this stupid station,"
...
'Oh my GLOB what the FUCK is that-' This is your first thought. There is no time for a second.
The thing, made of shiny steaming hot tar swung at you. You had enough wits to dodge, but you still screamed in terror while doing it.
Fern was immediately at your side. A grass sword, mighty and green as he, grew out of his arm and before one could blink, a chunk of tar monster was separated from the host.
'Tar, tar, dude what spell is even good against tar?' This was the forefront of your thoughts against the backdrop of Fern holding the thing at bay.
"Hey, babe, mind retreating for like three seconds? Gonna teleport this thing to the Fire Kingdom," Such important words spoken in such a casual tone. There was a moment where Fern wondered how much life you had been though to earn such eccentricity in such a stressful situation. He loved you.
When Fern stepped away, you did as you said. The last thing you heard before closing the portal was a fire guard screaming "What the GLOB-"
"...I, I didn't go too far this time, did I?" His voice, back to perfume.
"No! No, not at all!" You gave him a forehead kiss that he would appreciate more than you would ever know.
You both giggled to yourselves before continuing.
...
"Ah! Finally!" The joy in your voice was palpable enough to grab out of the air and eat. Fern turned towards you and-
"...Train tickets?" There was a hint of annoyance in there. You simply knew it.
"Yeah, I know, right?" You chuckled nervously before continuing, "I need it for a potion for Marceline. Endometriosis is really a fucker sometimes and this can help with that,"
You both walked in silence as you felt sunlight on your faces. Smelling fresh air after breathing in so much stale made you feel a special type of joy. "That really wasn't too much for you? I know you need to photosynthesize every once in awhile and I just don't want-" He kissed you. It was your turn for your face to get warm.
This silence was peaceful, as you two walked to your home in the forest. It overlooked grassy plains and was just at the edge of a thick line of trees.

When you realize you were born in a generation that will likely never canonically have robots advanced enough to develop feelings and fall in love with
one of the things that i love about calculester from monster prom is how much research has been done to make him more realistic. i don't think i've ever found a piece of media that really dwell deeper into the question "how does an A.I experience life, if it could even experience at all?" rather than merely stating "yeah this A.I is sentient and can experience life"
i just like how hyperfixating on calculester allows me to really learn more stuff about robotics and A.I's in general. he's really well written because it proposed a lot of hypothesis that feels realistic? i really gotta thank the dev for putting so much work into a satire-ish kinda game.
