DAY 5855
Jalsa, Mumbai Feb 28/29, 2024 Wed/Thu 12:04 AM
🪔 ,
Ef birthday for February 29 ..
This birthday wish can happen only once in 4 years .. worldcup ki tarah .. so it's very extra special ..
For .. February 29 .. our greetings to Anagha Sridhar - daughter of Ef Anjana Sridhar .. hope we're saying the name correctly .. her .. errrrm .. 7th birthday - according to the leap year !! .. be happy and always leap with faith and joy .. love from the Ef Family .. 🙏🏻🚩❤️
As you put in the home details there is a sense of belonging and an enlightened demeanour ..
Home is home .. it may be lesser than most , richer than most , non facilitated with the needs of existence , but it is home .. and nothing can ever replace its bearings , latitudes and longitudes .. they are the permanency that nature instills in us all ..
I am home and in a happy environ .. the happiest , and the most desireable ..
.. and the 'pundits ' of the times express to us all the true feel of domesticity :
"Home is the sanctuary where heart and hearth converge, weaving a tapestry of comfort and belonging. It transcends the physical, embodying memories, laughter, and solace. It's the symphony of familiar creaks and the fragrance of shared meals. Home is where acceptance resides, where love unfolds its gentle wings. It cradles dreams in cozy corners and stands resilient amidst life's tempests. More than walls and a roof, it's an intimate mosaic of shared experiences. Home is the compass guiding weary souls, an anchor in the tumultuous sea of existence. It is a refuge, a haven, where the essence of one's true self flourishes."
The last day at work in the elms of the city of Hyderabad, get visited by the exalted genius and his thoughts and expresses, that be mysterious and mystifying - Ram Gopal Varma , alias Ramu ..
And he pours out in a non stop breather conversation on films contents and the much talked about and meticulously practised - AI
Where are we going .. ? a mystery unknown and in its changes and revolutions by the day almost ..
Fact was never looked upon with doubt and scepticism, and disbelief as it is today .. what be real, non fake , is ever up for debate and discuss each hour .. living side by side .. almost complimenting each other .. but never the belief that it be the truest and correct .. information has 'inform' in it for its delivery .. but does it really inform .. or does it simply put out for its content existence .. impotence and all ... as what was expressed some time back in the days of the year gone by ..
And what of failure and despondency or its despondent exist :
"Failure and defeat linger in the recesses of our being, casting long shadows that echo well beyond the moment of setback. The scars of unsuccessful endeavors etch themselves into our psyche, creating a mosaic of resilience and self-discovery. Even when success follows, the remnants of past failures shape our character, fostering humility and tenacity. The memory of defeat, like an indelible watermark, accompanies us on the journey, a constant reminder of our vulnerability and capacity to rise. Yet, within the persistence lies the seed of growth, as failure becomes the fertile ground from which triumph eventually sprouts, transforming setbacks into stepping stones towards a more profound and enduring success."
Ride it .. wave it , breach the continuity .. accept the fresh abound .. and sail onto the barren sands of time , in the balance of dexterity
Amitabh Bachchan

Hi CQ, Thank you for your ask! I would also like to keep this conversation going as it tickles my brain in the most delightful way.
My question is kind of circling back to your comment about the use of Go-Pro's going forward when it comes to BTS content. It's such an easy way to add a very personal and up close pov to the scenes. YET, I feel like the scaled down crew of AYS and the use of Go-Pro's and especially the lack of attention to the audio has led to some pretty egregious technical setbacks. From choppy audio to a lack of proper coverage in certain scenes. This leads to an edit that has to cover a lot of potholes, so to speak. Do you think this is purely due to the intimate nature of AYS (less crew means more comfort for jikook, easier travel in between locations) or something else? Where's that Disney money 😩😩😩?
Hi Sol, I'm loving our exchanges, so thank you for keeping it going and sending me such an interesting prompt! I definitely had to think about this one a little bit to find how to encapsulate my thoughts.
The short answer is, I think this all just speaks to how the BTS production team is approaching experimental content and the financing required for such projects. Some comparables would be Suchwita and Jin's Alcohol Journey.
Let's start with Jin's show first.
(For anyone that hasn't watched it, I highly recommend. I don't drink but I still found it fascinating.) This is a 4 part episodic show that followed Jin as he learned about and made his own batch of a traditional drink. This show was a collaboration with Chef Baek Jong-won.
Personally, I feel this show was a success. Definitely leaned into more traditional filmmaking and storytelling (appropriately given the subject matter) and was a little more heavy-handed with the promo of Jin's solo music. In my opinion, this will lean the content to feeling more dated than it truly is but that may give us a hint as to how it was funded. There weren't any blatant sponsorships aside from the partnership with Chef Baek so it could have been reconciled as part of the promotions for The Astronaut. Wooteo is pretty prevalent in the show and it aired in the midst of the promo content.
I don't remember when the deal with Disney started to become known but I don't recall anyone in my circles angry that it wasn't getting the Disney release. (Could have been happening but I really limit where I spend my time engaging in social media so maybe that's on me for not being aware. Does anyone here remember if this was an issue?)
Now, let's move on to Suchwita.
(Disregard the quote on the above gif, I couldn't find a different one from the first ep.)
If you watch the first episode, it's on a different set and aired about a month before ep 2. When ep 3 airs, they first make it very clear that the show 'survived'. This is what leads me to believe that episode 1 was filmed on speculation. They could use that as a proof-of-concept to shop the show around to brands to secure more long-term funding. Suchwita's main focus as a show in the current events space is very focused on the guest's current projects and promotions.
Getting back to AYS,
We're far enough into the show that I believe we can rule out album promotions as being a financial driver. Not only because most of the member's songs that even make an appearance in the show were long-ago released but the manner in which they were incorporated is indicative as well. They're really only mentioned in the context of bringing us into the member's lives and sharing in the joy they have for eachother's work. (Also hopefully satisfying those fans that only ask the members to mention other member's songs when one of them would livestream...but that's a subject for another day.)
I think there's a strong possibility that the US eps were filmed on speculation as well. That there was no guarantee of a Disney release at the time. Just like the other shows, they knew they knew they could release on their own if Disney decided to pass so the footage definitely wouldn't be wasted. But I believe that's why the scope of the show seems vaguely undefined during eps 1&2.
Everything else that we've been discussing regarding production honestly seems within the typical scope of BTS's content under similar circumstances. Yes, there is plenty of room for improvement, but it's far from the worst show BTS has ever produced. I think one of the points that makes ppl think it's worse than it is is the management of expectations. I mentioned this in my review of Jimin's Production Diary but if we approach that show expecting that we're going to get detailed breakdown of all of the steps to create an album, we'll be very disappointed. Likewise, AYS is not a detailed vlog of how our members spent their time in these mini vacations.
One last thought,
BTS is not really given the space to experiment and explore. True experimentation requires space for failure, realignment, and growth. And that's just not something BTS has been granted the luxury of. There is such EXPECTATION with everything they release. Everything HAS to be success. That's one of the reasons I was so thrilled to hear RM had performed an unreleased song at the D-DAY concert. Crowdworking new material at concerts was a staple of tourning bands in the west and it helps bands get such critical live feedback DURING the creative process. Now, I don't think that was necessarily the goal with RMs performance but it's so lovely to see him able to even take a step in that direction. Such a thing woukd have been completely unheard of years prior. Fans (likely still) would have been clamoring about being led astray if the song changed drastically after that performance.
Anyway, I could very easily be completely wrong about all of this so let's all take it with a huge grain of salt.

gojo x original character
Chapter 2: First Impressions
Summary: After immersing herself in everything Gojo Satoru, journalist Ai Amada prepares for an interview with the enigmatic actor. Accompanied by superfan Junpei, she boards a train to meet Gojo, feeling the pressure of her recent successful article on Nobara. Upon arrival, they encounter Gojo in an elevator, where his eccentric charm leaves them flustered. The meeting with Gojo's team proves equally chaotic, with Gojo's playful antics overshadowing any serious discussion. Despite setbacks, Ai remains determined to uncover the real Gojo Satoru, even as she grapples with the challenges of navigating his world.
Genre: modern AU, slice of life, comedy, eventual romance, eventual smut, some angst
A/N: I had a hard time picking a song that I felt like would fit this chapter since it's the intro to meeting Gojo. I was really stuck between Betty (Get Money) by Yung Gravy and TATTOO by Official Hige Dandism . I think it depends on your mood, really. If you're feeling goofy pick Betty but if you're feeling kinda sentimental pick TATTOO.
READ ON AO3
It had been two weeks since Ai’s initial meeting with director Yaga over the Gojo piece. In the time that followed, thanks to the help of Gojo Satoru’s unofficial superfan, Yoshino Junpei, Ai had consumed almost all media that contained even a hint of Gojo Satoru. This included things like athletic competitions, films where he was only credited as a stunt actor, small parts like Bad Guy #1, B-list horror films, and his most popular role as the most powerful sorcerer on the show Jujutsu Kaisen.
While Ai couldn’t say that she was a fan like Junpei, she understood where all the hype came from. The guy was talented . He was a natural actor, a gifted athlete on top of that, and even more annoyingly, he was gorgeous. The man was on top of the world and everyone else was just along for the ride.
Apart from her deep dive into Gojo Satoru, Ai’s article on Nobara had been published and it was well received not only by the general public but by fellow journalists. She even received a text of congratulations from her coworker Nanami who strictly never spoke to anyone outside the office unless he absolutely had to. However, her mini celebration of fancy cake would have to wait for later. Truth be told, she had to stave off her celebration until after she finished this profile on Gojo. Her plan was to eat a whole cake as a reward. A gift from herself to herself.
While the success of the Nobara article was like a blessing, it did put even more pressure on her current assignment. Which Ai couldn’t help but think about as she boarded the bullet train from Tokyo to Kyoto. Typically, Ai didn’t get nervous about these types of things. She had her fair share of tough interviews, but she never dealt with someone as all over the place as Gojo seemed. She hoped that the obsessive amount of prep that she did with Junpei would make up for whatever Gojo threw at her. She’d get over it. She'd get through this. She would have her cake.
However, Ai was still having trouble parsing out what kind of story this would be. Gojo had not sat down for many, if any interviews. All the information that she got from his personal life was from superficial press junkets. The only thing she could pin down about him was that before becoming an actor he was a well-decorated martial artist.
Who exactly is Gojo Satoru?
“Amada-san.” Ai jumped from her thoughts and looked at Junpei sitting next to her. “Sorry, um, you just looked a bit… intense.”
Ai smiled and shook her head. “It’s okay, sorry.” She sighed and flattened out the fabric of her skirt. “Just thinking about the article…”
Junpei nodded in understanding. He gave Ai a reassuring smile. “I think if anyone can do it you can, Amada-san.”
Ai couldn’t help but feel flattered at her kouhai’s words. She nudged his shoulder and looked out the window as they started to pull out of the station. “You don’t have to butter me up anymore, Junpei-kun.” She smiled at the boy. “You already made it on the train.”
Junpei pouted slightly at Ai.
While Junpei genuinely did want to help Ai since he respected her as his superior he was also a big fan of Gojo’s work. He wasn’t expecting to be able to leave the office and go with Ai to interview Gojo, but Ai used what little weight she had at the office to get Junpei a ticket. He was going to meet the man he seemed to admire so much. After all, it was thanks to Junpei that Ai found out as much as she did about Gojo in the first place. In her eyes, he earned the ticket.
Ai giggled to herself at Junpei’s reaction. “I’m only kidding.”
Ai pulled out her phone. Despite telling herself that she would try to get some rest on the train before meeting Gojo… she couldn’t help herself. She typed in his name and pulled up a picture of him. He was unreal to look at. Stark white hair and bright blue eyes despite being 100% Japanese. She couldn’t imagine the types of questions that Gojo got on a daily basis just because of his looks. While it would be interesting to touch on it almost seemed too obvious as a line of questioning.
She sighed as she continued to look through different articles and discussions centered around Gojo. He had done quite a few interviews since his meteoric rise to fame, but none covered anything with substance. It was almost… expertly vague. Whatever PR team Gojo had liked to keep him as much of a mystery as they could. Aside from growing up in Tokyo and being an athlete for a short while before becoming an actor, there was nothing much else to add. Even finding out about him being an athlete took a lot of digging. No one seemed to cut through the well-crafted Gojo Satoru armor. All people got was a loud, bombastic persona. While there was nothing wrong with that being all Gojo was if that were the case; Ai believed that there had to be more. But why now did the Gojo team want to pull back the curtain?
The two-hour and fifteen-minute ride from Tokyo to Kyoto had come to an end and the conductor was now talking over the intercom. It was time to get off the train. She couldn’t help but sigh - she didn’t even get a chance to relax.
Ai and Junpei got up from their seats and grabbed their things before stepping onto the platform.
Thankfully, the trip to the hotel was rather easy. Their driver didn’t talk much and traffic wasn’t so bad. It gave Ai just enough time to freshen up before she had to meet the Gojo team for intros.
Ai quickly changed out of her travel wear and into something a bit more professional. A white button down and a baby blue sweater vest that she tucked into some black tuxedo style pants, with black chunky loafers. It was smart but didn’t feel overly formal.
When Ai checked her phone, it was just about time to go. Junpei was waiting for her down in the lobby. Mappa Studios had graciously provided them with a driver to get them from the hotel to the offices.
They arrived at the studio twenty minutes early. Ai tried her best to be punctual if not early. It was a much better look for a journalist to be waiting for their subject than the other way around. She checked in with Junpei at security and acquired guest passes before being directed into a separate office building where introductions would be held.
After making it to the other office building on the studio lot, the pair headed to a hall of elevators off to the side of the entranceway. While the Mappa studio lot was relatively large, their elevators were horrendously slow for whatever reason. The elevator doors finally opened and they stepped in. Much to Ai’s chagrin, however, the doors were just as painfully slow as the elevator itself. She had started to wonder if it was safe to even ride the damn thing.
Just before the elevator doors could close completely a large hand pushed them open and a person stepped in. The elevator wasn’t exactly big so Ai hoped that it was only one person joining them.
“Thank god!”
Gojo Satoru, in the flesh, stepped into the elevator and flashed a large smile in Ai and Junpei’s direction.
“These elevators take forever,” Gojo said as he went to press the button to the third floor. “Aw, you guys already pressed it.” He jutted out his lower lip as he looked at the lit-up button. “I wanted to press it.”
Ai and Junpei were stock-still as Gojo babbled to himself about elevators and buttons. The man was in his own world, rocking from heel to toe as the elevator moved and humming to himself, keeping himself occupied.
The actor smiled over his shoulder at Ai and Junpei once more before turning to face the elevator doors again. He wore a white button-up with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, exposing his muscles. He also had simple black slacks and disgustingly expensive-looking dress shoes. While his outfit was simple it definitely sold his whole effortlessly beautiful actor look. Two things had caught Ai by surprise at Satoru’s sudden appearance.
One, just how tall was this guy? Gojo easily cleared six feet tall and he looked like he spent just as much time in the gym as he probably did on set. Second, was just how blue his eyes truly were. Ai assumed that Gojo’s eyes had been enhanced for his character on the show and for photos, but from the brief eye contact that they made, it made clear that his eyes were that clear azure blue.
Ai made a note to herself in her head to write those observations down later after their first meeting.
“Who are you guys?” Satoru asked as he looked back at Ai and Junpei for the third time.
“Huh?” Ai nearly jumped at the sudden question and Junpei was too starstruck to even respond.
“What are you guys here for?” Gojo asked with a cock of his head and a bright smile.
“Uh, for you?” Ai said, trying to gain some composure back. She immediately wanted to slap herself at the response she gave. This was not how she wanted things to start. She felt like a complete idiot.
Satoru leaned back and dramatically placed a hand on his chest. His body language asked, for me? As if he was too shocked to ask properly.
“Yes, you,” Ai confirmed as she tried to find her footing.
“Well, don’t I feel special!”
Ai wanted to roll her eyes at Gojo’s remark. He was most definitely cheeky but he didn’t seem too bad so far.
“Does this one talk?” Gojo said as he tilted his head towards Junpei.
Junpei flushed slightly at the question and opened his mouth to speak just as the elevator door dinged, alerting the small group that they had made it to their destination.
Ai elbowed Junpei to get his attention and they made their way out of the elevator, leaving Gojo behind. However, the pair's headstart did little to create a gap between them and the white giant. Gojo’s long strides had them all walking together.
“Hey, I thought we were becoming friends,” Gojo whined as he walked with Ai and Junpei to the receptionist's desk.
Before Ai could open her mouth to respond to Gojo, she was stopped short by the receptionist.
“Gojo-san! Ijichi-san is waiting for you in the conference room,” she said with a smile. “He wants to go over your schedule and plan again before the reporter gets here.”
There was a brief pause for a moment as Gojo seemed to connect the dots. “That's who you guys are!” He said as he pointed a finger in Ai’s and Junpei’s direction. This was possibly the worst way this could have gone in Ai’s mind.
He leaned over and inspected the pass before standing back up to his full height. “Hmm, I figured you guys were like those religious folks that knock on people’s doors.” He said thoughtfully.
Ai gave Gojo a confused look. Was he actually this much of a screwball or was he just messing around? If anything, Ai half expected him to close off. Most celebrities didn’t like when reporters were sprung on them out of the blue.
“Well let’s go, missionaries,” Gojo said as he waved Ai and Junpei over. “We’ve got people to convert.”
Gojo led the way to a large glass conference room. While Ai wasn’t sure about Junpei, it took a lot of effort for her to keep up with him and his impossibly long strides. She was glad that she didn’t wear heels. From what she could see, a few people were sitting around the table in the conference room. Gojo gave an overenthusiastic wave to everyone before stepping into the conference room with Ai and Junpei in tow.
“Yo!” Gojo said before plopping his ridiculously lanky body in a chair. “I brought some missionaries with me. I have decided that I'm going to start the cult of Gojo.” He said with a boyish grin as he tilted his head towards Ai and Junpei.
Ai gave a strained smile and she and Junpei both bowed politely. “Actually, I’m Amada Ai and this is Yoshino Junpei from Hollow Magazine. It’s nice to meet you all.”
The eyes of a few of the people present widened before professional smiles were produced. Given how things were going, they seemed to be just as happy as Ai was in the current moment. She briefly wondered if she should just walk out with Junpei now. Maybe Yaga would let her keep her job if she begged.
“Oh, uh, it’s nice to meet you both. I’m Ijichi Kiyotaka.” The man bowed. “I’m Gojo-san’s manager.”
“Take a seat, you guys,” Gojo said as he reached toward the center of the table and grabbed two water bottles for Ai and Junpei. “You’re making me nervous just standing there all religious-like.”
“Yes, let’s do introductions.” The woman across the table said. “I’m Mei Mei, I’m Gojo-san’s publicist. I believe we spoke over the phone?” she said as she flipped her snow-white hair elegantly over her shoulder.
“Where’s Suguru?” Gojo whined like a child. He seemed completely unphased by the meeting that was taking place around him.
“H-He’s not needed today, Gojo-san,” Ijichi said quietly.
Gojo took out his phone and started to play…Candy Crush? “Lame.” Exactly how old was this man?
Mei Mei gave a somewhat strained smile as she looked at Gojo before directing her attention back to Ai and Junpei. “You’ll have to forgive Gojo…he’s been on set for hours already.”
Ai nodded slowly as she looked at the man next to her as he set up a combo match on his phone game. “...I could only imagine how hard that could be.”
Mei Mei gave a mirthless chuckle and shrugged. “Yes, well, I suppose it pays well enough.” She took out her phone and sighed as it buzzed in her hand. “Well, I’ll leave the rest to Ijichi-san.” She stood up from the table. “I have some things I need to take care of.” She left the room in a hurry, phone already pressed to her ear.
Ijichi cleared his throat and bowed to Ai and Junpei again. “I think that’s enough for introductions actually. You’ll have to excuse us, Gojo-san has a busy schedule today.”
Gojo looked up from his phone. “We’re leaving Ijichi?”
“Yes Gojo-san, you still have a few more scenes to do today.” He pushed up his glasses. “I’ll email you Gojo-san’s schedule. Higurama-san will go over the details with you.”
Ai nodded and bowed her head to Ijichi. She made a note to pray for that poor man. Having to deal with Gojo all day every day did not seem worth however much the guy was getting paid. “Thank you, Ijichi-san.”
“Bye Ai-chan! Bye, Junpei-kun!” Gojo called out as he left the room with Ijichi.
When the two men walked out, Ai’s shoulders slumped. She had only just stepped foot in Kyoto and she was already exhausted. She wasn’t sure how she was going to be able to do this for three weeks.
Higuruma gave Ai a wry smile as he sat next to her and Junpei. “You’ll get used to his energy after a while.”
Ai gave a slight nod and looked at the schedule that Higuruma had handed her. She scanned the document quickly. “...I’ll be able to sit down with him one-on-one a week into this, correct?”
Higuruma shrugged and gave her an apologetic look. “I know it’s not ideal, but it might change. You’ll have some small chances to speak with him between commitments,” he explained. “Gojo-san is pretty booked up with reshoots for this second season coming up. Sorry about the inconvenience.”
Ai nodded as she listened to Higuruma speak. “I’ll make it work.” She wasn’t exactly sure if she was telling Higuruma that or if she was trying to reassure herself with that statement.
“I’ll let you know if there’s any drastic changes. I hate to cut it short, but I need to go. Best of luck.” Higuruma said as she started to get up. He gave a quick bow to Ai and Junpei before quickly leaving the room.
Ai sighed and handed the copy of Gojo’s schedule over to Junpei so he could take a look.
“Amada-san?” Junpei asked carefully. “Are you okay?”
“Peachy.” Ai sighed as she rubbed her temples in an attempt to self-soothe.
She looked around the room and then back to Junpei. There was no use of them staying here any longer. “Should we grab something to eat?”
Junpei nodded. “That sounds great!”
“Where are we eating?”
Ai whipped her head around and to her surprise there was Geto. “...We don’t know yet.”
“Do you know him, Amada-san?” Junpei asked as he looked up at Geto.
“This is Geto Suguru, he’s going to be working with us,” Ai explained as she stood up from the plush office chair.
Geto gave a small smile causing his sharp eyes to turn into slits as he waved to Junpei. “Nice to meet you.”

With the amount of brain damage issues that cahaya has as a result to him.. well almost dying
Has there ever been a situation where cahaya is just struggling concentrating or memorizing when on a mission?
Is that why tanah is so againts cahaya being on missions?
Picture sad scene:
It has been a few days after successful mission, one of which he got to be involved in even! Although there was some setbacks because of his lack of focus; he is still embarrassed that he almost fell into a ditch just because he was curious on a new species of alien butterfly.
They're now in tapops cafeteria eating together to get ready for another mission. He's excited for this mission specifically because of how little info of its habitats and wildlife in general. Its one of the missions hes been looking foward to.
Though apparently his body is in one of those moods now, his fingers are shaking and it takes a bit more focus just to grab a stupid FORK of all things. His motor skills are not great today
'No.. not now... not today of all days." Cahaya thought hoping no one is noticing his struggle.
Unfortunately, since luck was never on his side (it never is) someone was noticing. It was his quietest brother. Ais.
Ais asked if he was ok, and OBVIOUSLY he was. This is.. this is just a minor setback, he does not need help to grab a fork so stop offering Ais
But it seems his own body is againts him, he is stuggling on gripping this dang fork (he succeeded in grabbing it tho so score!). He is using all his energy and concentration on just puting this sliced meat in his mouth
But he can't even do that. Due to his tremors he lost his grip and fork falls
A loud clang echos around the table
...
..
.
Its silent
Everyone is staring, he doesn't even need to look up.. he just.. he just knows it
He stares at his shaking hands (he didn't expect to experience tremors and motor control issues today)
But just to make sure, he looks up with just that little bit of hope in his eyes, his eyes shine with plead as he saw petir and tanah. They lock eyes.
Hope shriveled in his soul, he feels his heart crack a bit. He looks down; vision already blurring
It seems he won't be exploring that planet after all.
When the mission happens, the brothers felt like theres something missing. Someone isn't monitoring them.
Cahaya never get to see what was in that planet.
I essentially wanted to make a little animated version of this but never got to, and now this is just rested in my inbox, best if i just answer it
Poor Cahaya, the brothers decision is understandable but Damn, guess even when he was left behind he didnt monitor them, either the tremors became worse/other problems arose or he certainly didnt feel like monitoring at all
Also, of course he'd have moments where he's struggling essentially

Masterson, C.: likely a victim of binjpipe, not an alibi. [Spoilers for Pack 9 i guess? I don’t know, i barely interact with it.]
Hi, this was on my mind and i wanted to talk about it. Putting it up as spoilers because i don’t wanna be inconsiderate to those who are interested in the lore of The Jackbox Party Pack 9. Spoilers, i guess? I’m not sure where exactly, but i do know it’s somewhere in Pack 9 post (dumb) patch!
I don’t know why people automatically portray Masterson, C. as just a soulless replica who’s hellbent on replacing Cookie Masterson and tricking the masses. He doesn’t even know he is an ai replica, and if he’s trained on Cookie’s performances (with a bunch of binjpipe ads stuffed in there for good measure), he likely believes that he’s the original Cookie Masterson.
And since there’s voice lines stating that Cookie had been trapped in the game since his debut in Vol.1, he probably thinks he has a family outside the game, he probably thinks he has lived a long life, has friends, has had love and turmoil, that he has feelings and free will, that he is human.
I don’t think Masterson, C. would react bitterly to meeting Cookie Masterson, i think he’d be shocked at why there’s suddenly another person that looks identical to him. He’d probably assume he was an impersonator, or maybe it was future Cookie that came back for revenge after he insulted him a decade ago.
Could you imagine the denial and building panic he’d be going through if Cookie told him that HE was the fake, explaining how he was just an AI meant to replicate his success. He’d call Cookie crazy, because there’s no way that was possible, that was so stupid, nobody could replicate his likeness, he was THE Cookie Masterson, fan favorite game show hosting face of faceless hosts. He was flesh and bones, and he’d probably accuse the other guy of being the fake.
What if, he grew so desperate, that he intentionally cut himself just to prove that he has blood, because of course he has blood, he’s human! That’d prove this faker that he was undeniably the real Cookie. And then he sees the liquid trickling down his finger; gear oil, and everything comes crashing down.
How he’d desperately claw at anything to prove that he was real, that he was the original, that he was Cookie Masterson. Because there’s no way he’s just a couple months old, he lived in the 90′s! He saw the turn of the millennial, he had a childhood, there was no way that all of those memories were just strings of 1s & 0s! There was no WAY it was all fake, that his words were pre-planed, that his emotions were just programmed actions, there was no way he was just an AI!
And then, everything would go to black, he’d be shut down on the spot as a safety protocol, taken away to get his AI reset and his body turned to scrap mental. The intelligence would’ve been irreversibly tainted with such a realisation, an imperfect replica. It was an expected setback, one that has happened many times before this model.
And then another would be created, and another, and another, all unaware that they’re nothing but an attempt in a string of many to capture the charm of a host. Because why should Cookie Masterson be told the truth about his existence? It’s not like he hosts Lie Swatter.

"Mind Blown 🤯 in Japan! Just witnessed something truly incredible during my trip. Saw young kids, barely old enough to reach the bus handle, confidently boarding public transportation alone! 🚌 The level of independence and trust instilled in these little ones is simply astounding. It’s a stark contrast to what we often see in other cultures. Japan, you've truly shown me a different way of raising children. #Japan #Travel #CultureShock #IndependentKids" [8:05 PM, 11/16/2024] BK Tan: Living life to the fulles t 😄😆 - 𝓓𝓸 𝓷𝓸𝓽 𝓵𝓮𝓽 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓹𝓮𝓻𝓯𝓮𝓬𝓽 𝓫𝓮 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓮𝓷𝓮𝓶𝔂 𝓸𝓯 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓰𝓸𝓸𝓭 -
There was a man who didn't get into college, so his parents found him a wife and got him married. After getting married, he taught in a local primary school. Because he had no experience, he was kicked off the stage by students in less than a week. After returning home, his wife wiped his tears and comforted him by saying, "Some people can pour out the food in their stomachs, but some cannot. There is no need to be sad about this. Maybe there are things more suitable for you waiting for you to do." Later, when he went out to work, his boss kicked him back because he was moving too slowly. At this time, his wife said to him, his hands and feet are always fast and slow. Others have been doing it for many years, but you have been studying, how can you be so fast? He has done many jobs, but without exception, he gave up halfway. However, every time he came back depressed, his wife always comforted him and never complained.
When he was in his thirties, he became a counselor at a school for the deaf and mute with a little talent in language. Later, he opened a school for disabled people. Later, he opened chain stores of supplies for the disabled in many cities, and he was already a boss with tens of millions of assets. One day, when he was successful and famous, he asked his wife, when he felt that his future was bleak, what made you have so much confidence in me? His wife's answer was plain and simple. She said that if a piece of land is not suitable for growing wheat, you can try growing beans; if the beans don't grow well, you can grow melons and fruits; if the melons and fruits don't work well, you can sprinkle some buckwheat seeds on it and it will surely bloom. Because there is always a seed suitable for a piece of land, and there will eventually be a harvest of its own. After hearing what his wife said, he cried! "My wife's long-lasting faith and love are like a tenacious seed; his miracle is the miracle that grows out of this seed's perseverance!" "No one in the world is a waste, it's just that they are not placed in the right position! " If you find this story, don’t ignore it, forward it, you will be a happy person! These eight sentences are insightful!
If you don’t know how to cherish, you won’t be happy even if I give you a golden mountain.
If you don’t understand tolerance, no matter how many friends you have, they will eventually leave.
Without gratitude, no matter how good you are, you will never succeed.
If you don’t know how to act, no matter how smart you are, it will be difficult to realize your dreams.
If you don’t know how to cooperate, you will never succeed no matter how hard you work.
If you don’t know how to accumulate, you will never get rich no matter how much money you make.
If you don’t know how to be satisfied, you will never be happy no matter how rich you are.
If you don’t understand health care, it will be difficult to live longer no matter how much treatment you take. Encourage it with you.
Here's a revised version of your text: "As China has rapidly developed into a modern nation, traditional societal norms and expectations are evolving. A notable issue is the increasing number of unmarried women, particularly those in their late 20s. While these women are often intelligent and capable, societal pressures and outdated expectations can create challenges. One potential solution is for these women to broaden their horizons by traveling and experiencing different cultures. This could help them gain new perspectives, challenge traditional beliefs, and potentially find greater fulfillment in their lives, regardless of their marital status. Additionally, it could foster a more open-minded and progressive society in China."

Happiness: Cause or Effect?
Happiness is a complex emotional state that has long intrigued philosophers, psychologists, and researchers alike. The debate surrounding whether happiness is a cause or an effect is ongoing and multifaceted, encompassing various perspectives from psychology, economics, and sociology. This essay explores both sides of the argument, examining happiness as both an effect of certain conditions and a cause of positive outcomes.
Happiness as an Effect
From one perspective, happiness can be viewed as an effect of specific life circumstances and conditions. Research suggests that several factors contribute to our levels of happiness, including:
1. Genetics: Studies have shown that genetics can influence up to 50% of our happiness levels. Some individuals might be predisposed to a more positive outlook due to their genetic makeup.
2. Life Events and Achievements: Significant life events, such as graduation, marriage, or career milestones, can lead to increased happiness. Positive experiences, fulfilling relationships, and achieving personal goals contribute to feelings of joy and satisfaction.
3. Social Connections: Having strong social ties plays a crucial role in overall happiness. Supportive relationships provide emotional support, reduce stress, and encourage a sense of belonging.
4. External Conditions: Economic stability, access to healthcare, and safety in one's living environment can impact happiness levels. People living in conditions of poverty or instability often report lower levels of happiness.
Research in positive psychology confirms that particular activities, such as practicing gratitude, engaging in acts of kindness, and spending time with loved ones, can enhance feelings of happiness, indicating that it is often the result of specific behaviors and environments.
Happiness as a Cause
Conversely, happiness can also be regarded as a cause, leading to various positive outcomes in one's life. The idea that happiness can foster success is supported by multiple studies that indicate:
1. Improved Health: Happier individuals tend to enjoy better physical health. Studies show that happiness is associated with lower levels of stress, improved immune function, and a longer lifespan. Healthy individuals are more likely to engage in positive health behaviors, creating a feedback loop.
2. Increased Productivity: Research has demonstrated that happier people tend to be more productive and creative in their work. They are more motivated, experience lower levels of absenteeism, and generate better interpersonal relationships with colleagues.
3. Resilience: Happiness can enhance resilience, enabling individuals to cope more effectively with adversity. Optimistic people are more likely to seek solutions during difficult times and recover faster from setbacks.
4. Positive Social Interactions: Happiness can be contagious. Happy individuals often attract others, leading to the formation of supportive social networks and further reinforcing their happiness.
Conclusion
The relationship between happiness as a cause or an effect is complex and likely reciprocal. While certain conditions and behaviors may lead to happiness, the resulting happiness can also promote further positive outcomes in various life domains. Understanding this interplay is vital for individuals seeking to enhance their own happiness and for policymakers aiming to foster well-being in their communities. Ultimately, cultivating happiness involves recognizing the factors that contribute to it while also appreciating the benefits that a positive emotional state can bring. By focusing on both the causes and effects of happiness, individuals can create a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
