Genuinely wondering where the influx of Showtime fans came from. It was SUCH a rare pair and now its everywhere! Sniff sniff... Im so proud of this community...

Showtime has pushed me into finally picking up my pencil once more.

Caine is peak nuerodivergence rep but like the painful parts of it. Like YES i want to be appreciated and i WANT to be treated as a person like everyone else. BUT i ALSO dont function like you do, So being treated normal like you would only confuse and frustrate me, its a lose-lose deal w/o accomodations. Something caine never got the day he was created

[insomniacrori]

Hmmmmmm

Caine has a nightmare about Pomni abstracting. what does he do? Check in on her, then have her announce the latest Ad and say he's proud of her!

These crumbs! This fine meal!

I saw the abstraction merch promo, and it was so good

[rogerrrroger]

oh nah they got bro masking to avoid deletion 😭✌️

Do Creative Artificial Intelligence Networking Entities Dream of Abstracting Sheep?

GUYS this is gonna sound crazy but the recent merch ad showing Caine having a nightmare made me think of the book "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" which IN TURN made me think of Blade Runner AND THEN I had to draw Caine expressing his desire to be remembered like Roy Batty 🤷‍♀️

soo uhhh yeahhh convoluted origin of this animatic aside... i also just wanted to try "animating" caine and pomni again since I like torturing myself LOL. Idk it was kinda rushed and also looks jank but im happy with it

My ramblings about blade runner tadc parallels under the cut:

I recently became obsessed with Blade Runner 2049 and watched the original Blade Runner film to get a comparison and really Roy's monologue in the og film is the only thought provoking part of the movie LOL (generalizing)

The thought of Caine explaining to Pomni the value of his memories/life in his final moments before being deleted--expressing this fear of being forgotten (PARALLELING POMNI'S FEAR OF BEING FORGOTTEN IN THE BEGINNING OF THE SHOW)--is so precious to meeeee!! I WISH there was a callback in the show to Pomni's conversation with Gummigoo in regards to Caine and his own personhood (worry not my dear followers because this WILL happen in AbstractedCaineAU TRUST!!!) .

I haven't read the book yet that the blade runner universe was based on, but just going off the themes of the film, I think the idea that replicants are essentially indistinguishable from humans makes this speech from Caine to Pomni really interesting. AND thinking about how in blade runner Deckard (aka Pomni) is hypothesized to be a replicant as well, it's just a COOL parallel to draw between her and Caine that they might not be as different as the show paints them to be.

Wish I could formulate more coherent thoughts on this but ahhh my brain sleepy sorry, but do you see the vision or am I crazy x)

TLDR: I like imagining alternate realities where Caine actually does express his own personhood openly to the cast AND that his personhood isn't any less than theirs LOL

[shahaf]
