Did Caine cause Scratch to abstract and if so how?

He tried to fix his brain and make him happy.

another thing I think is so very interesting from the amazing digital circus finale is that the thing that was pulling them back, more than anything, was the belief that they were trapped

yes, caine was unhinged and the way in which the adventures were done made things feel cyclical and difficult to perceive progression when nothing feels like it amounts to something

but the true power holding them back was that they saw themselves as trapped, rather than capable of changing or moving forward, even when in the circus, because they were too preoccupied with the idea that they were not where they were supposed to be

whether or not they had lost faith in ever "returning", they still perceived themselves as unable to move on because they couldn't "escape"

it's like they were seeing themselves in a synchronic perspective (a snapshot of a moment in a time of their lives) rather than a diachronic one (a progression of events with the capacity to move forward)

when they were scanned, all of them were at point in their lives in which they were struggling with something deep and painful, and those fears and issues were carried into their feelings inside the circus

however, the idea that they were trapped made them believe that they were unable to move from any of that as long as they didn't "return" to the real world, because true change could only happen "out there"

when the truth was revealed, they could either accept their existence and let themselves finally move forward while inside the circus or, like what happened to jax, see themselves as perpetually tied to the memories they had from who they thought they were before the scan, unable to accept that growth was always possible and with the helpless belief that it would always be that way

which is something we sometimes perceive in real life too

when pomni says "abby is out there living her best life, and here, I'm just pomni" it's a way to establish that, from the moment she appeared as pomni, her life and abby's life had been divided, and it was up to her to live as pomni from then on, untethered from whatever abby's life would become, as her own person, in her own terms

accepting their identities and existence as they are, rather than seeing themselves as a sub-par trapped version of someone else "out there", was what they needed to move forward

it's an incredibly interesting take on awareness, on self perception, on how most often than not it isn't on the things that happen or on our reaction to those things but on the relationship between the two to understand true experience

gimme dumbkilen !!!!!!!!

LMFAOOO

dumbkilen

this is the sbpro file name of a really stupid animatic i was making with @calc-ulatrice's and i's ocs (ai + kian = kilen). i can't show it because i promised calc i'd finish it and i don't wanna spoil how truly stupid it is so here's one frame

it's only like 20 secs long but i always have to do something else instead it's sad. also i accidentally made like 3 different scene changes in those two seconds. but worry not once it's done it will be posted

for the wip thing: lettie, ~$ whoami

YAYYYY yayyyy ok

lettie

lettie is a character from an in-hiatus DND campaign/online rp game i devised and DM with my friend @mondya called harvest festival

harvest festival is a game that finds you, and every other character, as different types of fruits all attending the same week-long festival that aims to bring tribute to the tree that is said to have given all fruitkind life, the pometheus. something has not been right for quite some time now, though, and it's up to you to figure out what's really going on inside the festival as one this century's attendees.

there was a lot of fun and rigurous worldbuilding we put ourselves through to try to make this world alive and grounded in it's own rules, while at the same time giving every player a lot of freedom building their characters. it didn't quite get off the ground yet because it's really hard to get organized once you're an adult but i'd really love to start this one bcs i had a lot of fun making it!! also if anyone wants to be in it after seeing this then yay!!!

if anyone's interestead to read about the universe and the game engine more in depth i made a webstie that was also meant to be used as an in-game glossary that would update as the story progressed.

the fruits were all assigned at random, and the ways the characters built their fruit species were entirely up to them. lettie is my player character, as i have drawn the lingonberry (or bear berry) as my fruit. she loves sleeping and taking things easy!!

~$ whoami

whoami is the name of the digital circus fic (sorryyy) i've been working on largely focused on kinger and caine's realtionship. it's essentially a canon-divergent fic past ep.8 that explores the cast succeeding in neutralizing caine and boardening his purpose past his primary function, thinking it'd help, but making him crash the hell out in the process. kinger, on the other hand, finally has to figure out how he feels about being responsable for caine's life and everyone's fate.

it works in a flashback-present-flashback tempo that explores kinger and caine from caine's development and scratch's involvment to where they are now, trying to figure out what to do with it all. it's not explicitly romantic in nature but it surely not normal. or requited. it's fun.

it's called ~$ whoami because that's the command for user authentication in lisp, one of the the fist programming lenguages to execute AI in 1987, and the one caine is canonically written in. it also serves as the philosophical question the fic dabbles in. here's a bit.

Caine didn’t talk much at first. The abrupt change in demeanor had Kinger wondering if he had pulled something taut during his coding, maybe from the initial urgency of the whole ordeal. The others were naturally reticent to approach too—the previous confrontation still thin like scar tissue. But he was up and running, Kinger had made sure of it. The past week-or-so of constant rewriting, debate, and decisions between him and the rest were a firm testament of that. So the behavior had to be a choice—Caine’s own—and a whim could be as indicative of consciousness as anything. Despite the lack of response, Kinger talked Caine through his new patch: administrative keys were split among all members so everyone could share control, including Caine himself. Other .lisp files that were actively getting in the way of his structure had to be deleted, to explain the missing Bubble.  “And one last thing,” Kinger said, wavering for the first time, “I—we've decided to modify the root function a bit.” Caine finally looked at him, panicked, like he was pulling a phantom limb. “But—that's me, what did you—?” “Nothing was removed,” Kinger was quick to amend, “I just—modified the scope of it a bit.” “What does that even mean?” “He means you've got freedom.” Pomni’s voice, of course, brave little thing she was. Kinger turned to look at her sticking forward from the rest, surprised and suddenly off-kilter. She regained herself soon enough.

always think of this meme when this scene comes up

fun wip game thing do i still have friends?

RULES: make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous, and tag as many people as you have WIPs. People send an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and you post a snippet or tell them something about it!

sister tagged me i thought it'd be fun as someone who doesn't have enough executive function to follow through most of the time. and as someone who names their files like shit. this is gonna get embarrassing as hell if we get to the fic part though sorry

lesbian scifi is so easy. here’s a woman in cargo pants and a tank top on a spaceship. are you with me

[justsomeguycore]

maybe it’s not even cargo pants. maybe it’s coveralls rolled to + tied around the waist. maybe she even has fuckoff boots

we can do tghis. our touy

[tiredyke]

can’t even criticize the diet industry or the recent wave in misogyny and return of thinspo with the rise of ozempic as a weight loss drug without everyone having this knee jerk reaction to defend “women’s rights” to be malnourished and conform to white patriarchal beauty standards in the name of feminism. god forbid we not encourage eating disorders and unhealthy body image in women. choice feminism is a disease and everyone is licking the rats it’s driving me crazy

[kidzbopdeathgrips]

it's really funny how the entire world basically just blew the fuck up six short years ago and nobody wants to admit that that may have had some lasting consequences lmao

[kidzbopdeathgrips]

like so much of Everything today is premised on the idea that the earth-shattering catastrophe which happened within living memory of everyone older than a third grader has had no meaningful material or psychological effects on the general public and i don't think that's good, lol.

"(some of) the top-line economic indicators (sorta) recovered (in most places) so everything is fine and we don't need to talk about it" is not a sustainable framework for interfacing with reality

[kidzbopdeathgrips]

"why is everyone so angry and paranoid now?" "why is politics so dysfunctional now?" "why is [x] [y] and [z] now? blah blah blah"
