extremely self indulgent au where instead of being destroyed, chaos sonic is reprogrammed by nine to be loyal to him. keyword him.

so when things fall out between nine and sonic, chaos goes along with nine and becomes his lackey. the roles are reversed, now a "tails" is the leader and a "sonic" is the follower.

and because I'm a rabid shard the metal sonic fan, maybe nine gives chaos a black coat of paint so he looks less like sonic (oh the painful memories!).

*When asked about Sonic*

Chaos Sonic: Hah. So we're still talking about that blue pitstain? Whatever. He can be fun to toy with, sure, but he's old news. Last year's model. A failure of a friend and a passable hero. Nine wants him alive for "some reason"—that involves his "intense attachment"—so I won't kill him or anything. I'll leave him alone in a room with Nine over my dead body—or my best friend's wishes, since I cannot bear to refuse him. If I could, though, I'd love the chance to "play" with him some, "rough him up" a little as payback for how he treated my best friend.

Alpha Grim Sonic (answering via writing it down, sign language, transmission, whatever because he's mute): You refer to the blue hedgehog. Once upon a time, my master, Nine, seemed to be troubled when thinking of him. There was a time when Sonic brought a fight to our doorstep, but no matter how Sonic may have hurt him in the past, he has chosen to preserve my master's life. Nine seems to trust him, and Sonic has not threatened his life. So, as I do not have the capacity to experience such things as "emotions", and they would not matter even if I did have the ability, I do not mind if my master associates with Sonic the Hedgehog. If Nine is happy, and the hedgehog does not intend harm upon him, then all is well.

*When asked about Shadow*

Chaos Sonic: Oh, he's that black hedgehog, right?! Seems cool! I'd love to race him sometime. Of course, I'll fight him too if he intends to lay a finger on my best buddy, but all is well if he plays nice.

Alpha Grim Sonic (answering not by speaking, because he is mute): Shadow the Hedgehog. You do refer to the black hedgehog, do you not? If he intends to bring harm upon my master again, I will not hesitate in removing him. He has not received forgiveness for trying to kill my master during the war. Nine surely allows him to live because he is gracious, but if he so commanded me to I would rip the hedgehog him limb from limb. It is my duty to do what my master commands, and I will be ready should the hedgehog try anything or should my master finally revoke his trust in him.

it's tuesday, and today, i am thinking about posting about completely random things. so who would let barton be an actually semi-good dad friend for once and let him teach their muse how to fish... then, have him be proud of them like this when they do catch something:

[warhammer-fantasy-muses]

// Okay but since we got a canonical title for Nurgle, which is "Grandfather/Grandpa" Nurgle... would that make the other Chaos Gods the following;

Father Khorne

Uncle Tzeentch

Father/Mother Slaanesh

Thoughts?

[pixelpaladin24]

|| The feeling of being able to post 💙Connor💙 and not feeling guilty about it oh my fucking gods I'll only look at the bright side of this situation like thank fuck i am allowed to feel happy

HHHHIIIIIIIMMMMM 💙💙💙

where should you go when your own four walls feel like a prison?

Locked up where you should feel at home. In the USA, more than 10 million people are abused in their own homes every year. And my team and I want to offer these people a refuge, a place where they are understood and supported. A place of well-being, of arrival; a safe haven - and that's exactly where the name comes from. So follow me around as I give you the first glimpse of the residential complex that has been disrupted so that people can feel safe again.

I really wanted to create something good from my own trauma, something better - to give people what I had been missing all this time. It's incredibly difficult to get out of a violent household and/or relationship, because there's usually no real place to escape to. But with Safe Haven, that's history: with the help of four building complexes connected by a spacious inner courtyard, people are given the opportunity to live a quiet, communal life. Passionate therapists and psychiatrists are available at all times and there is a timed program to lead a routine life or to be reintegrated into it. Everyone is welcome here - except those who advocate violence. I can't wait to see where this journey together takes us and I am beyond proud to say that we will officially welcome our first lost souls in early August.

So if you’ll ever need help or know someone who needs to escape, let me know. I will help you to get out.

you paint my soul,

one color at a time,

stroke after stroke,

line after line,

until a kaleidescope of colors appears,

forming my heart,

my passion.

o’ muse,

you guide my pen,

my fingers are they hit the keys,

forming thoughts to words to poetry,

form into form,

and further beyond.

Send me "alt!" and I'll introduce you to a character I've rped in the past, want to play in the future or are currently playing somewhere else! | @handful-of-muses

(Ooh, I haven’t played him in a few years, but I’m kinda back on my Star Wars kick, so I wouldn’t mind playing Ben Solo/Kylo Ren again! He’s always gonna have a place in my heart. I’d have to rewrite a lot of his story, though, just because I don’t think the movies did him or Rey justice. I’d love to write him going through a proper (and very long) redemption arc.)

[fellow-traveller]

There's a few Japanese fanartists in pixiv that truly carried all the weight of making fanarts of the von Stroheims, including Fritz. And they captured Stroheim's over-the-top, chaotic nature perfectly in each drawing.

And I also liked that they gave names to the German soldiers Stroheim surrounded himself with.

Need more Stroheim fanart. Seriously.

Who is the Tails Polycule favorite sonic?

So as far as the Prime Polycule au goes, the only Sonic they've met is Prime!Sonic (who in this au is sort of combined with Modern!Sonic and IDW!Sonic). This kind of means that despite being in a polycule there is some lowkey background fighting over Prime Sonic that's inevitable😂😅

As for an version of the au where Sonic variants exist, sadly I haven't yet done too much thinking for potential Sonic variants. But for what I have so far, I'd say just about everyone in the polycule would prefer their own Sonic/Sonic variant

Except for Nine (lol). He prefers Prime!Sonic over the two versions of New Yoke!Sonic that exist in my head (one is a take from an au I've been working on with someone else, and that Sonic is a major dick. the other is from @phantom-fleetways's au, where New Yoke Sonic is basically just a paycheck to paycheck disabled guy living in a bachelor pad)

[potatotalksculture]

chaos vs market (or Muse and thermodynamics)

[Disclaimer: I am not a theoretical physicist. Please correct me if I'm wrong.] [SPOILER WANING: mild spoilers for "Everything Everywhere All At Once".]

Soooo... People are part of the nature, right? I stand by this fact every single day of my life as I struggle through it in a (post?)capitalistic western society.

Also, the second law of thermodynamics states that heat cannot flow from a cooler object to a warmer object without some external help aka intervention into the system consisting of those objects. Warm air always goes up, right? How far up? I don't know, but I'd assume as far up as it can until it mixes up with the cold air above it to the point when the air-mixture consists of the same amount of warm and cold particles. The equilibrium. The chaos. The entropy. Those are natural states.

Dividing the particles from this mixture, sorting them from the hottest to the coolest requires energy that comes from outside the molecule system. An outside interference in the system can also control the movement of the molecules and, for instance, make the cold particles move towards the hot ones.

The number of the objects in an isolated system is finite. And so is the number of particles within this system. They can be sorted, added, removed, named, taken for a walk within this system. It all can be done though an intervention of an external force. But the number of the particles and so the maximal amount of work they can do is finite.

All the theories concerning thermodynamics originated from experiments, both practical and theoretical, with... engines. People are not engines. But people live in a seemingly isolated system. A flat can be seen as an isolated system. So can be a building, a city, a country and so on... Universe? I'd have to get back to you on that one. Just after the physicist get back to me on that. Some of them debate the theory of heat death of the universe. This theory assumes that the universe indeed is an isolated system and that the entropy of this system increases in a natural way. So when the universe reaches the thermodynamic equilibrium it will come to a halt. What does that mean exactly? They're still debating, but definitely no more movement.

Enter humanities scholars. They look at the second law, they like it, they take it and they build a whole theory of their own. I am not sure when did this tendency start, but I keep stumbling upon it in texts starting from the twentieth century until today. Foucalt cites the Second Law while introducting his concept of a heterotopia, the quantum theory caused lots of articles about the meaning of life, and Muse named their album from 2012 and two songs on it after the second law of thermodynamics. And I swear, I am arriving at the actual point I wanted to make.

Muse cites the second law to express a critical stance towards capitalism. Let's take a closer look.

"All natural and technological processes"

This is the first line of the text spoken in "2nd Law: Unsustainable". It proves the context for the rest of the message: We are talking about the nature and about technology and the correlations between them.

After that the voice introduces a generalized practical definition of the the second law: the processes happen in an isolated system, the available energy within this system decreases as the entropy increases until it comes to the equilibrium. The voice comments on the entropy:

"Energy continuously flows from being Concentrated to becoming dispersed Spread out, wasted and useless"

Since the thermodynamics was originally about heat engines, it deemed the particles that have already reached entropy useless, and if the energy they have produced while arriving at the equilibrium was not used for work of the engine, then this energy was wasted. Makes sense, right? What if we try applying this theory to humans, as they are part of the nature.

A human being consumes and creates energy, they work. A human being can also be seen as an engine. (Even though, as I have already stated earlier, they are not engines.) I'm gonna talk about the human being a lot from now on, so let's name them. Let their name be Jim*. Jim* works every day. Jim*'s muscles consume energy, provided by the food Jim* eats every day, to work. The muscles work even in the moment, when Jim* eats their tuna sandwich. It takes energy to place the sandwich in the hand, move the arm, while holding the sandwich, towards Jim*'s mouth, open the mouth, bite, chew, swallow, digest, break the sandwich into bit so small they can be absorbed by the body, (absorbing is also work, btw), and so on... And I haven't even mention the work the muscles do while making Jim* breath, have a blood circulation, etc. The is work and any other work can be measured in joules. (That is the "J" next to "kcal" when you look at the nutritional value table on a food product.)

Jim* also has a job. No matter what job it is, they need to work to work this job. They need to earn money to buy their tuna sandwich, have a place to consume it, maybe even somewhere to give their body some quite time for digesting, have a place to sleep to regenerate, take a shower and pee and poop, put on appropriate cloths and go to do their job to earn the money. The circle closes. We have a job-sandwich-rest cycle, the life cycle of Jim*.

And Jim* needs to keep their shit together to keep this cycle up. Agains all laws of physic and nature, which Jim* is a part of, they must resist the entropy. They must not let the cycle stop. Otherwise they might not be able to do their job anymore. And then they'd have no money for all the commodities that make it possible for them to work, to labour.

We live in a capitalistic world, where the work the body does to make it possible for a person to just function got forgotten. The kilojoules our body produces need to go somewhere, they cannot be accumulated in infinitum. They can be used for labour, a work that earns us money. But they can also be used for playing a video game, for instance "Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe". If Jim* decides to play "Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe" instead of labour, the capitalism deems the energy they used for it wasted. Because it didn't profit the never ending cycle of labouring for living and living for labouring.**

As a human being Jim* stands at in a middle of a battlefield stretched between two fronts. On the one side there are the universal laws of nature that drive Jim* towards complete entropy, and on the other the forces of capitalism wanting to govern the energy balance in Jim*'s life. Embracing the entropy may be the best form of living, if you're not content with the capitalist laws. It might even be the best way of living in general. It would shift the forces governing Jim*'s life from capitalism to nature. Jim* has always been a part of nature, they were born this way. [Insert Lady Gaga gif] As opposed to capitalism, into which Jim* has been born into.

Let's visualize capitalism as a bagel with everything, to cite "Everything Everywhere All At Once". This black, horrifying bagel floats inside a system known as nature; It must do so, because it was created by creatures also created by and living within this system. The bagel is trying to enforce its own laws onto particles within the system, that are contradictory with the systems own laws. It accelerates the system's deterioration, it's drive towards entropy, by making it use up its energy faster than it needs to. And so the room collapses onto the bagel and the nature collapses with the capitalism inside of it.

Let's say that Jim*s job is to push a boulder up a hill. And every time he's close to reaching the top of the hill, somehow the boulder rolls downhill and Jim* need to start over. So in the end Jim*'s job is endlessly pushing the boulder up the hill and always knowing that he will fail. No Jim* asks themselves: "Why should I keep pushing this boulder, if it falls down the hill anyway? My feet, hands, legs, arms and back hurt and today I woke up with this splitting headache that's probably will become a migraine... And the hill is getting flatter and flatter after each of my attempts, especially when it's raining, because of corrosion of the soil, so I probably won't have a job soon anyway. And when everything in the world has corroded, deteriorated, dried up or froze over, the natural world will collapse on us anyway, so what is the damn point of living?!" Well, to be honest, Jim*'s probably been reading too much existentialist philosophers lately and forgotten that they should go on a sick leave, get some support belt for his back, new work shoes and gloves, and stop focusing on the hill. Jim* could take a moment to look closer at the boulder. How used up is it but all this rolling. Maybe it also needs a break. Maybe, maybe if Jim* gives the boulder a minute of their time and a drink, the boulder will reciprocate their kindness and they become work friends...

The looks at everything happening everywhere, all at once can bring one to splitting headache. The film that a wikipedia page dedicated only for listing the accolades it's received**** confronts its viewers, among many topics, with the fact of living in a capitalistic society and it making it almost impossible to slow down. Almost. Because when you realize how much is happening at every single moment everywhere in the world, you might suddenly find it easier to only look at yourself in this moment right here. Jim* is part of the chaos, Jim* sees and recognizes it, they accept it and for a moment Jim* are free.

It is not easy to rebel against capitalism, but it doesn't need much energy.

Thanks for reading!

*Yes, this is a tribute to Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe. But also putting the asterisk next to the name gives it space to remain not-gendered, as an entropy striving member of human tribe would maybe want to. Damn, now I want to write that essay.

**Although playing a video game is a form of consuming a produced commodity, so it also satisfies a capitalistic postulate. This could also become an analysis for itself...
