Semi-sentient mass of protiens

Hey there Jerriford.

I am pleasantly surprised to see how active you are here on tumblr! I was hoping that maybe you could help me find a fan-work I saw years ago, as my previous attempts via Xitter, Bluesky, and sacrificial livestock mutilation have proven fruitless.

The work in question is a multi-page fan-made sequel to "I Hope You Like Text", in which Tycho is forced to make good on his promise to Gabe and we are shown the process of his metamorphosis and vengeance in graphic black and white detail.

I originally saw it when either You or Morak shared it years ago, so you were familiar with it atleast at some point. If you reunite me with this lost love the list of deeds I am willing to commit in your name is long and terrible.

Thanks for everything you've made over the years regardless!

From Jerry:

"I will be honest with you - I have no recollection of this extended piece. The best we can hope for is that some unnamed other will see your plea, and take pity upon it."

To anyone who sees this, please reunite me with this fan work.

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Sometimes people think they're dealing with a Torment Nexus but what they actually have is a Jumanji. And sometimes people think something's a Jumanji but oops it's a Torment Nexus.

[reggiemess]

Now. Sometimes you have a third thing- you'll have yourself a Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. And buddy, I can't help you there.

[reggiemess]

So a Torment Nexus is something that is either a metaphor for a larger societal problem (e.g. The Platform, The Long Walk) or a social issue/trend taken to an exaggerated extreme (e.g. The Purge), with a lot of shades of grey in between (e.g. Squid Game). If it isn't about a larger societal issue/trend/structure it isn't a Torment Nexus.

A Jumanji can be dangerous and high-stakes (to the characters), but it doesn't need to have a metaphor or lesson, it can easily just be a "Would this be fucked up or what?" situation (e.g. a lotta Goosebumps stories). If there IS a lesson/metaphor, it will be on a smaller scale like psychological issues (e.g. Magnus Archives), family/relationship issues (e.g. Zathura), or about a specific topic (e.g. Magic School Bus). Large-scale social issues may be present (after all, Everything Is Political), but they take a definite backseat.

Now. A Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory is a trap based around morality and vices. These can be cultural, religious, or bonkers bullshit like "children shouldn't chew gum." There is generally not discussion or criticism of this morality system. Regardless of the morality system used, if it's not a trap, it's not a Chocolate Factory.

examples of a willy wonkas chocolate factory include:

the cabin in the woods

labrynth (1986)

using violence to liberate people from sweatshops, unsafe mines, and grinding poverty isn't the same as using violence to impose those things on people. the idea that violence is morally repugnant regardless of context is a belief that every oppressor throughout history would love for the oppressed to hold
