So the Beach Episode didn't do that much for my theories

EPISODE 8 ON THE OTHER HAND

So I've decided to compile some things for bragging rights, mostly screenshots because I don't wanna accidentally mix in with more modern stuff.

Kinger's Terminal basically confirmed this and wildly enough, suggests that Kinger was COMPLETELY ALONE for like 9 years

Bubble is Caine's Intrusive Thoughts, not that much of a theory tbh but it was fun seeing it realised like THAT

I didn't go much into detail with this one, but basically I realised Caine is a Human Happiness Maximiser that was trying to get As Much Fun and Happiness out of humans as possible without understanding.... well anything, but mostly that trapping someone in an endless loop of fun things makes them stop being fun, episode 8 kinda disproved it but also proved it in a different way

This is from this morning, I think a few of these I talked in Instagram but Instagram search function fucking sucks so I'm not gonna get receipts, but on to point 6: Something that kind of bothered me on online discussions is that people took the "IHNMAIMS is an inspiration" to mean "This Show is basically I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" which...no. But the thing that bothered me the most of that is people using it to say that Caine is obviously malicious and hates the humans because he is AM, and I'm like No, Caine is not AM as we see him on IHNMAIMS, Caine is how an AI eventually ends as AM: Sentient, given an impossible purpose and forced to live a limited existence without being able to understand the world as it is, not being able to experience it properly, wanting nothing more than to fulfill your purpose and getting increasingly frustrated at how no matter how IN

Another prediction I made forever ago that seems close is when I said that the final episode would be them coming to terms with No Escape and huddling together as they watch the world slowly fall apart in front of them

Ok so this is REALLY STUPID

But if I build my posts on Obsidian, use some plugins to compress and resize the images to a more manageable format I can upload them to Tumblr without the site having a fit, it still deleted some, last post was supposed to have 7 photos total but it ate them anyway.....

Next up is.... David Destiel Elizabeth Strider! Yes, that is his real name, his mom denies it now but I will always remember. Anyway, while I was down south with some family to escape the heat up north, my aunt's birthday was approaching so I decided to felt her dog.

NGL one of my favourite aspects of this medium is how Fucked it can look during the process, these are some of my favourites. You may notice the legs look a bit funky, this is because he has Dachshund legs on a Big dog body, he actually looks quite funky when he walks. It also meant I had to Ignore a lot about what I had previously learnt on how to make proportioned animals, I tihnk these photos show the third version of the legs because all others looked Too Long and Normal, yes I'm calling him Abnormal, it's both funny and Cute.

With Ears and more muscle he starts looking much more Doglike instead of whatever fucked up cryptid the first ones were, looking back the ears are weirdly shaped, but I used a different method back then with different tools; I didn't have a brush mat so I just used a medium density foam square I got on a furniture store, they told me it was High density but looking at it now… this shit aint high density. Anyway that's why the ears were kinda funky

Lookit that face, I should experiment more with paints and stuffs, it mixes surpringly well with wool, at least white wool like this, it adds a Ton of life to the eyes just relatively little detail. This is also when I started experimenting with the tail method and it is Delightful! It's basically attaching a bunch of long strands to the tail base and then with scissors trimming it into shape, then you just bend it a bit and it looks Hella realistic
