i can't stop chewing on the MASH time loop situation. my star trek brain will not turn off. there is definitely some kind of temporal anomaly at play, but it's not really a time loop in the traditional sense.

effects carry over from loop to loop. they appear to age. the same wounded soldiers appear on the table three times, but the scars of past surgeries are still there. a character leaves or dies and is gone from the mash forever; their replacement arrives near the end of the war and is still there at the beginning. the dates overlap, yet their presence is sequential. the other characters remember all of them.

how far does this effect extend? if it's summer again at mash, is it summer in tokyo? is it summer in maine? if BJ is in korea two years before he arrived, who's in residency in california, marrying his wife, conceiving his child?

their family trees at home deform—different wives, different children, loved ones alternately dead and alive and never born. those inside are oblivious to what they've lost. hawkeye remembers trapper, but not his sister. what happens in korea persists; the world outside is a fragile suggestion. he tells a soldier that men at the front can't see the whole war, only the other guys dug in with them on their one little hill.

for a deep space nine fan this is irresistible. hawkeye says, wars end, but war is forever. kira asks, if the past has changed, why do i still remember it? sisko never left that ship. time itself is warped by trauma. it is not linear. you exist here. you choose to exist here.

Just fucking stop using Google

Use duck duck Go or something. Hell, use yahoo. "But the results are not as good as google!" Not anymore.

It's time to dump Google

Excellent. Very creative

Imagine how societies with augmentation would differ aesthetically from eachother. Like, you'd have basically full control over what humanity looks like. If you went to diffrent planets in a future with augmentation, every human civilization would differ in human appearance the same way architecture differs from place to place.

A civilization that actively leans in to the fact that that their augmentations dehumanize them. Looking like insects or reptiles more then the do people when they're fully upgraded.

A utilitarian brutalist civilization where mechanical upgrades are just stuck into most people without caring how it'll make them look, where beauty has fully become a class privilege.

A somewhat feudalist or religious society who try to make everyone fit their hyper athletic beauty standards. More heavily upgraded people look almost like angels.

A super wealthy trade empire where people put precious metals and jewels on their mechanical parts and sculpt everything to be as extravagant as possible.

Is this anything? If you have any other ideas for societies like this please reblog with them?

I know I'll lose my mind if I try souls games but I have to cause the player characters are undeads. I simply have to play the games

in that Firefly Mechs AU Jonny hears about bands of vicious murderers and goes "oh we GOTTA find them and hang out!!!" only to realize that they're just chasing themselves.

and then he’s so disappointed and goes on a murderous rampage, therefore solidifying his reputation as a vicious monster man on the edges of space in a classic cause-effect time paradox
