Send ✨ to see one of my muse's memories.

With some sleight of hand, social engineering, and a little help from the internet, you managed to get a crack at a certain someone’s files. The elusive Nano-Spider, whose motives were a complete mystery and their origins even better well-kept. For the short time she’s been at the Spider Society, she’s been a total mystery, and while her intentions seemed good for the most part, it wasn’t enough to sate your curiosity. Who is she? What has she seen? Where has she been? As you now look upon the screen that displayed the system directory belonging to her long-term memory, you find that there were quite a few of them to go through. Lots of memories. You scroll to the bottom, and you pick one of the last items in the list. The file–in H.265 format–is about 89.09 megabytes, and its title just seemed to be a random jumble of letters and numbers. You take a deep breath, and you double-click the file…

A long, bleached white corridor illuminated in fluorescent lighting. Steel-plated flooring that’s been worn with the footsteps of those who occupied this facility. It crawls and clanks beneath her feet as she wanders down the hall with her eyes glued to the floor. “Bridge!” The distant sound of another woman’s voice, warm and inviting. She pauses in her footing to lift her head from the steel floors to what appeared to be a garden of some sort at the end of the hall, a tree whose leaves hung like vines framed by the arch that formed the entryway. A woman with an admittedly impressive head of long, dark curls, wire-frame glasses, and a white coat is holding a clipboard. She waves Bridge over to where she stood upon the grass.

“Bridge, hey! Come here for a second. I wanna show you something.”

She nods, and Bridge starts to walk a bit faster, with more purpose after this woman requested her presence. As she enters, the size of the garden is now revealed to exceed that of the archway–luscious plant life, shrubbery, all vibrant as it was in this contained space. She approaches the tree that stood at its center. Now that she is a bit closer, it becomes apparent that it has started to bloom. The young buds dotted the branches like specks of watercolor on a blank canvas. The woman gestures to the branch that hung the closest over Bridge’s head, “The willow’s started to bloom… Beautiful, isn’t it?”

After glancing over at the woman, a gentle smile on her face that creased the corners of her eyes, Bridge nods again. It’s revealed that the woman seems to be wearing an ID, now that Bridge is standing close enough to the woman. And, just barely legible, the tag read ‘Gabrielle Markov–Resident Anthropologist’. Bridge’s gaze now follows Gabrielle’s hand, which reaches for something on one of the willow tree’s buds, something blue. A butterfly whose wings were the crispest shade of blue, even with the sub-par quality of the recording. Its wings trembled slightly as it perched on the woman’s extended finger and as she carefully brought it closer for Bridge to see. “And that’s one of the Blue Morphos that we managed to cultivate. It’s a miracle what life we can create, even when we’re down here.” You see Bridge extend her hand to the insect before it takes off from Gabrielle’s index finger and flutters off elsewhere. Her eyes follow the insect up into the flowing leaves of the weeping willow up until the recording suddenly ends, leaving you staring into a black screen and into your own reflection against the glass.

Somehow you’re only left with even more questions than when you started. And there was still a plethora of other videos for you to peruse… It looks like you’re gonna be here for a while.

Languages are one I don't often talk about or have the chance to utilize. Currently, I speak five different languages: English, Arabic, Swahili, Russian, and some Wakandan.

Izzy Hands is taking your questions this weekend. Reluctantly, as he’s sick of your shit.

Got some autistic questions to ask?

Look no further! Ask the director, Olga Marie Animusphere. Secretly autistic, she has interesting quirks and more.

Hmmm.... well, I don't know any traditional magic tricks that I can do, but I do know how a lot of them work. Slight of hand and a couple of other things. Actually, most magic tricks are just slight of hand or the, "look over here while I do something without you noticing"

Unless you count: tripping upstairs; choking on air; or somehow getting a small injury every day as magic, then Naw.

Also, congrats on being my first ask ever! Wooooo!

[musi-creatively]

trick or treat! 🍭

Since the Canada griffin was proudly mentioned recently I figure it can’t hurt to ask if you do happen to have plans to design Canada griffin goslings at some point in the future? (muse permitting)

I DO NOW.

I present to you

Got some burning questions to ask to learn about her?

[noodles-and-tea]

Little Stan getting manipulated by Bill has excellent angst potential but consider.

Stanley just, keeps tricking Bill. Because Bill would definitely massively underestimate Stanley and how far he’ll go to protect Ford (like in the actual show). We also know Stanley has the street smarts between the twins and could absolutely tell Bill is full of it.

And because Bill would absolutely loose his mind if he kept getting foiled by a snot nosed eight year old that isn’t even supposed to be here

I like to think that he doesn’t even try that hard he just does not even care about bill

Ask gameee

how good is your muse at setting boundaries?

what would your muse be willing to sacrifice to achieve their goals?

"I see... We have two questions in one."

Bridge took a moment to think over both questions, wanting to answer both an concisely as possible. She brought her hand to her chin as she contemplated her answer. One of her antennae twitch (the pointy ear-like things on her head) as the words find her, and she speaks.

"In terms of creating boundaries, I try to set ones wherever they are necessary. Which, in reality, turns out to be a rather loose guideline I follow as most who tend to overstep those boundaries do not do so wittingly."

She clasps her hands together as she continues,

"For example, while I am averse to uninvited touch, I make exceptions where I feel that contact is without malicious intent. Which is often, if that can be believed."

As she moved on to the second question, her gaze seemed to trail off somewhere.

"In terms of my willingness to sacrifice to achieve my goals... My entire being is built on the principle that I am able to do such a thing. I am a tireless, unwavering machine."

Her gaze returned to the viewer, again, stoic and unmoving as ever as she finished up her little monologuing.

"When it comes to my goal of maintaining the safety of man, protecting their livelihoods and the worlds they call home, I am willing to give all of myself for that cause. Without a doubt."

She now gave pause, allowing for some time for her responses to be digested before speaking once more.

"I do hope that is an adequate answer. I am more than happy to answer any further questions."

idk how many of you remember this but a few years ago tumblr ran a universally panned ad campaign for (us american) pride month that went "the gayest place on the internet".

well someone planning that campaign dropped in to ask the queer automatticians for advice on that and universally me and the other trans people involved were like "don't do it. i am so serious. don't do it. people on tumblr won't understand that it wasn't automattic who instituted the porn ban, or they will, but they'll recognize that automattic hasn't done anything, hands tied or not, to reverse it. nobody will like this. it will be a disaster." and they thanked us for our thoughts and went ahead with it anyway and then had to do retrospectives about how badly it went and were like "we just didn't know" and [gestures] yeah [edit: i think the person who rbed saying it was queerest place on the internet was right, my brain is fried, sorry! and that's... even worse lmao]

[marquismongaga]

Given the international Miku trend & the manner in which vocaloid songs, I think Hatsune Miku should be canonized as a muse. "I wish to create, lend me your voice so that I may be heard."

Miku is a source of inspiration for art; literal muse shit.
