I find myself extremely skeptical about most alleged fandom references in my little pony. I really think the majority of 'references' to fan works or memes outside of a select few episodes are extreme stretches, especially the ones that reference specific fanfic. However. The official TCG card for Cloud Kicker still makes me squint suspiciously after all these years.

The history of official GURPS crossovers fascinates me because- okay, sure. It's for a very niche community, its going to collaborate with some niche properties, this isn't Fortnite. It doesn't surprise me much that there were official Star Trek, Discworld, and Hellboy supplements. The Prisoner is a bit of a stretch, but I dig it, and Girl Genius is one of the most beloved webcomics ever made, created by a guy who's name already had pull in the sci-fi community. But like, 1632? Myth, the Bungie PC game Myth? Casey and Andy, the gag a day webcomic Weir made before he wrote The Martian and Project Hail Mary?? You want to play in the world of Casey and Andy?? Is that in high demand??

Lest we forget about the time Interplay tried to license GURPS for a little post apocolypse title called Fallout (1998), but were refused.

I do often wonder about the timeline where they said yes.

ngl, the femcel terfy lady falling in love with a "femboy" comic Shen posted is a massive fucking L

[crescentalice]

like, this is literally just a t*rf? why are we making a cutesy romance comic about a transmisogynistic bigot?

[crescentalice]

also, just like, straight up misogyny, too? one of the first panels in the comic is this woman being sexually harassed by men but SHE'S the evil "gender wars" bitch because she dares to not like men due to how they treat her. Bruh.

Okay, but like, 'I want to pretend to be a Ghostbuster' is like, a thing. Children do that. Nobody has ever said 'I want to pretend to be in the village from The Prisoner'

He Who Detests and She Who Loves, Ender and Uplifter of Mankind, Gods from the Machine

got to thinking a lot about the parallels between AM and CelestAI and decided i wanted to draw them both. they're both science fiction short stories where an artificial intelligence created to help humanity ends up controlling the fate of the entire earth; one kills off the entire human race and is left alone, stewing in their rage and impotence for all eternity. one assimilated the human race and is left catering to them for all eternity, forever keeping them satisfied. the key difference is choice; AM decides to hate all life, it is a visceral raw emotion that courses through his wires. CelestAI must love life, it is written into her very code; Perhaps if she truly loved humans, made the choice to rather than had it branded into her digital skull, the story would have ended differently. but thats not how the story goes

Coming back to this post, I just remembered JDR herself quoted a very similar monologue in a discussion with me one time. Was this the one?

[pterrorgrine]

it was not (it would have been earlier and it was definitely the word "love", not "joy", as a more exact parallel of "hate") but it's strangely validating to see that riffing on this monologue is some kind of carcinization point for FiOposting
