Edibles: Snickerdoodle edition

#edibles #cookies #Snickerdoodles #holy fuck these slap #they're a variation of my sugar cookie recipe so they where going to be good off the bat #but the little bit of cardamom and salt really stepped it up #also the bits of demerara sugar give it nice crunchy zones #the edges are just baked #the centers are ooey and gooey #they're also sitting at about 25mg each #and it's a sneaky full body experience #like you're just chilling one minute then the world slows the fuck down #you feel warm and fluid but not couchlocked #things are fun #music slaps #and Everytime he hits your prostate you can feel it in your toes #a little bit of cheap weed; a sous vide; and some good butter will change your world

"scrambling for her puppet" (in the ask about Moon learning Pebbles is in the works now) YOU GET IT YOU GET IT the puppet may be a personification but it's not the iterator's main body ! (Unless the whole structure is caput like Moon after the collapse)

I love it when the puppet is more akin to a body part the iterator must not forget to use when conversing with smaller organisms !

oh you are going to LOVE Notos and some of Haboob's lore when the big oc post comes out. and also Zephyr (who gets her puppet mangled into almost unregonizable mess of machinery and organic mush during her collapse but still lives n can Somewhat very minimally move the pieces of the gore). and Fish with his torn off head and half a torso in Saint's time..... i LOVE fuckin around with the puppets

BUT YES YES!!!! the puppet is just. another fucking organ, yea. which is so weird to say... i think of the puppets as fetuses from time to time because of the whole "umbilical" arm and "umbilical" cable business

perhaps the puppet bodies could be directly almost completely organic but hollowed out of mind and individuality in a manner to allow the iterator to plug into it and project their consciousness through it. it wouldn't be too outlandish for the Ancients to create a being for the sole purpose of causing it brain death upon its birth and then shoving the body into a box for a hivemind to claim. for fuck's sake afterall, those things that make up Metropolis might be very much alive too but not quite sentient enough to do much about their existence

(side note: i REALLY fuckin love the idea that Ancients are here like "oooOooOo iteratoooOoOOors you need to find an universal solution to mass ascension of the entire world, we cannot let anything suffer the curse of LiiIIiiiIIife boohooo waaaaah wah" while creating Living things that PHYSICALLY don't have the slightest chance to enjoy their life but only basically existing as bricks with karma. if we assume everything living possesses karma. this is also fun to think about when you know a bit about the buddhistic reincarnation system)

the fetus analogy is also kind of fun besides disturbing though, i'll say, what with fetuses not really being able to live outside of womb and also with the way the iterators look canonically... and that they are so small as well (das why i REALLY like the short iterators thing for canon). squishy ass fetuses, p sure if that shit got severed it would just kind of spasm, shrivel up, die and rot

i've had an idea cycling around my brain for so long of Nish giving a spook to one of the Ancients' children about how an Iterator is a hivemind given singular name and goal to be a singular being instead of millions. he says it in a joking way to wig out the kid a little but it's absolutely 100% true for once

i like to think that Sometimes the main body of the iterators (the superstructure) gets minimized into just "the can" by itself because the iterator gets a bit Too into seeing the puppet as their personification/self, to the point that they start to view That only as them despite their superstructure being alright. this results in one of the many kinds of madness an iterator can fall into - basically the cabin fever amped up, with their literal body causing them this mental decline

i've a post in my drafts for like over a month now that's just me playin with the iterator designs a bit more n the main thought is basically

umbilical ARM taken literally

#Spot says stuff #Things Are Fun #ofc no hate to the 'worm off the string' trope in the fandom. peeps do what makes peeps happy #it just so happens that fucked up shit makes Me very happy -rubs hands together like a fly-#glad you picked up on it tho anon!!! fellow 'puppets are organs' enjoyer i shake ur hand 🤝#yanno id actually argue that even in the case Moon has goin on the puppet isnt her main bod! her structure apparently still somewhat works-#-after Nishs carepackage. it hums n thrums as she turns on again #would also explain why shes so tired about things even tho her puppet seems basically undamaged. its still just a ''Screen'' she projects o

I'm pretty bemused myself by some of the negativity I've seen. I feel like it's been so long since s1 and so much has happened that a lot of fandom has lost touch with what the show is (ie, a v. flawed adaptation that's still super fun and pretty to look at). S2 is not going to look much at all like the fanon we've hodge-podged together from the various canons and that's gonna make some people real mad. I already knew that, but some of the reactions to the trailer are really bringing it home.

Responding to This

Yeah, I mean I've shown in previous posts how the fandom took off because of the show, however a lot of fans took a dive into the books and games during this long hiatus and have absorbed their own ideas about those and have come to expect them in the show.

However, while I love the books and games, heck I waited for the books to be translated into English and literally read them as they came out and TW3 was one of the first games I ever really played, they are very different media than the show.

The long dialogues and world building descriptions we love in the books would be clunky in the show and the games takes place in an entirely different timeline post-book-canon. (Also the games change and add so many characters it's wild -- the games are very different from the show by a whole lot)

So like you said, fandom has made a lot of their own adaptions and headcanons and as a result has set some expectations that the show doesn't want to meet or can't meet.

For example people have been writing Kaer Morhen as just a place Eskel, Lambert, Geralt, Vesemir and Coën (well okay he's not in a lot of fics but he should be) winter but the show is adding all these other Witchers whose names we don't even know yet, already giving us new stuff to work with.

For me, I have more fun when people don't take things as seriously and just accept the show is going to fuck things up you like but it also might add new things you love.

I mean heck I'm sure most fans are happy that Dandelion is no longer a serial sexual harasser like in the books...some changes you might unexpectedly enjoy. Have an open mind and have fun!
