forced to cower under the radiant force of a shining god, no longer having your very own mind in your control, lashing out at everyone around you in a dazed and distorted sense of justice and righteousness, seeing everyone who loves you as nothing but a villain, feeling all that you are ripped away and twisted and changed and this is all so wrong but as you're put back together it is right, it is right, it is right, it is right, it is right, it is ri

or lifted up to stand among the gods, a saint and savior of the people, praised and loved for even the most horrendous actions, their so-called love compressing and breaking every bone and every inch of your soul until you can't feel and can't think and you must do what must be done, intentions to carve your own path crushed in favor of this nightmare all-important mission.

two sides of a coin. reflections in a mirror. black and white in a paralytic gradient.

these two are one and the same yet irreconcilable opposites. isn't it beautiful in it's own horrific, nightmarish way? the cycle of torture looping and repeating over and over, tormented becoming tormentor?

Visit Original Link

Phoneme Synthesis is a nifty little website that converts International Phonetic Alphabet notation to synthesized speech. 

It only works for IPA as found in English so far, but it still seems like a very handy tool for checking your IPA transcriptions, making guides for pronouncing words, and more. 

I tested “all things linguistic” with the transcription /ɑl θɪŋz lɪŋgwɪstɪk/ and it produced the audio you can hear above. Robotic but accurate!

Your intro post mentions fabricworking, what does that entail? :3

Sewing, felting, making stuff outta fabric basically

Ok. *inhales*

-What are some more visual differences between canon and Mindshift Savers? Does their armour have any different shapes/patterns/colours? What are their eyes like?

-Did Cirl have complete creative control over the Lifesaver designs or did someone else pitch in?

-What would their voices sound like?

-Aside from Cebalrai, who are Deneb’s other surviving Lifesavers?

-What are their teeth like? Can they eat, and to what extent?

-Are their hands soft like Signi’s?

like other stellaris reploids theyre pointy, polygonal and angular. they arent as vibrant as signi, but not sure exactly what colors. maybe some red. (childrens hospital color theory-ass robots) theyre pretty segmented tho.

the lifesavers are one of the stellaris reploids cirl was less involved with actually. nobody in particular made them, twas collaborative...

not actually sure yet. pretty damn robot tho i can tell you that.

the other two are called sabik and marfik.

sabik is the most quiet of them. mostly focuses on their work and typically not a fan of unfamiliar people, but protective of their patients and ESPECIALLY their squadmates. expect to be avoided unless you know deneb and the other lifesavers decently well, require medical attention or are an active threat.

marfik is getting nothing rn because im struggling to describe them. ask me questions about them instead

lifesaver teeth have less of a cutting edge compared to other granivorous reploids, and are flatter overall. their strength, surprisingly small stomach capacity and medical equipment mean they need a dense, nutrient rich diet, but they can have most granivorous reploid cuisine when it comes to what they can actually process.

their hands are often very busy and used for lifting things like people and heavy rocks, so they are hard and metal. soft hands would wear out in no time, unfortunately.
