you forget to charge yourself so your body automatically enters low power mode. you reach for your cable, but autonomous movement was deemed lesser than core function, so all your servos go offline at once, leaving you trapped in your own body.
you lay there in a heap, fingertips millimeters from your charger. yet you aren’t worried. your core can last for weeks in this state, without all those hydraulics and higher processing power draining your electricity cells.
your partner finds you hours later, though in your drained haze it felt a lot shorter. her touch imparts a brief static tug back to awareness, your subdued sensors briefly overwhelmed after so long in such a low power environment.
she lays on the floor, filling your cameras viewport with her face (eventually recognized as “smug”). she asks you something, but your taxed system’s language recognition fails to identify a meaning.
you just lay there in response, endlessly buffering.
she sits you up against the wall, letting you see her in her entirety as she grabs your charger and begins fiddling with your access ports, her fingers grazing the unshielded metal of the outlets.
biostatic impulses are a lot stronger than most organics realize.
she finds the right port and gently inserts the charging cable, instantly filling you with sensations as all your previously-dampened subsystems flare back to life, your body subtly jolting back to working order.
your movement and vocal systems still won’t work for a while as a precaution until your battery level gets higher, but the instant spinning up of your fans lets your partner know exactly how you’re feeling.
with a kiss, again lighting up your newly responsive sensors, she leaves, eagerly awaiting your return to full functionality.
you stay seated, replaying the sensation of her kiss over and over.

I have some good news! I am now in a possession of a smartphone that is not old and decrepit, and I'm going to tell you the story of how I got it.
I've been working, and the mother of the woman I work for was there. She's always been chatty and sweet to me and I feel relaxed around her. So at one point my phone falls out of my arms, hits the floor, and falls apart in three pieces. She sees this and reasonably gets worried, but I reassure her 'it's all good this happens every week', because my phone is so old that it doesn't break from falling apart, I just need to put the battery back in. She the asks me if I'd like her old phone, because she got a new one, just needs to set it up. And immediately I'm like 'Nooo that would be too much, I could never repay you, I'm sure there's someone else who needs it more'. And I leave the interaction.
And then the next day I'm thinking, maybe my reflexes to decline stuff are not that great. Someone on tumblr recommended me to ask for people's old phones, and I was there, rejecting them when they were offered to me. And I'm thinking, if only I could offer her something in return for the phone, then I could propose a trade.
Next week, I see her again! She complains to me about the price of chestnuts on the market, and I immediately hatch a plan; I can get this woman chestnuts for her phone. That way it is fair, I resolve an inconvenience and I get her old phone, perfect. So I actually take several hours to hype myself up to ask her, thinking of a way to ask her that wouldn't bring me into an uncomfortable situation. Maybe she's already promised her phone to someone else while I've been a coward. In the end, I'm like, okay, I'm going to take a shot and laugh it off if she says no. And I ask her 'hey, do you still have that old phone?' and she's saying 'Yeah, I'm still using it! My daughter didn't have time to set my new one, but maybe next week it'll happen.' And then I reveal that I've been thinking of bringing her a bag of chestnuts to trade for her phone, and she laughs me off and tells me not to bring anything, she'll just give me the phone when she gets her new one set up as she doesn't need this one anymore.
I don't see her next time, but time after that she's in there, and as soon as she sees me, she goes 'I brought you your phone!' and I'm just overjoyed that she remembered. After I was done with work she even found a charger and just left me with it. I thanked her dozen times and went home happy.
The phone I got was Samsung Galaxy, which is funny because my old phone is also Samsung Galaxy, I'm in the same boat. My sim card wouldn't fit into it because it needed to be smaller! I went to the sim provider center to ask them to give me a smaller one, and they did, as well as warned me that this new phone is going to eat up all the internet immediately, and that the mobile data is even turned on automatically every time I turn the phone on! I was expecting the first, but not the second. So I spent several hours figuring out how to stop that phone from using up the internet; I blocked every app from using data (except tumblr), I stopped all apps from updating (be yourself), I went into the settings of every app individually to stop them from using data in the background, and still when I turned on the mobile data, 50mb was eaten immediately (I opened tumblr app for one second). Gyns I only have 200 mb. So I'm thinking, mmmm, this won't work, I'm not going to be able to stop this thing from eating my humble 150mb in 3 seconds. So I took out the sim card, put it back in my old phone. New one is so big it wouldn't fit in my pocket anyway! And if I broke it I would feel terrible. So, I am still back on my old phone, which I love, and the new phone is going to serve a different function; it's going to be my camera.
The new phone has an incredible camera that allows me to take close-up photos, which means I've been taking pictures of every little flower, every droplet of water, and every plant I could find in the grass. The difference in quality is incredible. This thing can also take pictures in the night! Something my old phone cannot dream of doing. You're about to see high definition photos of garden, mushrooms, forest, and anything else I set my eyes on.

I got a government grant from a clean air project for turning in my '97 Corolla for a very hefty chunk of money off of a new (or new-ish) hybrid vehicle from an approved dealership, finally went to purchase my new car today with my dad, and ended up getting a 2025 Toyota Camry SE.
Sorry, Alastor, I think I'm with Vox on the front of technological advancement, ahaha. It's almost a 30 year jump in car technologies and I damn well feel like I've upgraded into the new century (or, well - millennium, technically)! This car does so many things and they all manage to feel like they are actually convenient rather than useless technology bloat. I think this is technically what Nietzsche meant when he said that to live is to suffer, LOL. Can't appreciate the good stuff if you haven't experienced the alternative! Also, y'know. My breaks lost pressure on me in the middle of a winding mountain road with no cell service last month, so. That was the sign to move on.
It's so wild to go from a car that's got a plain metal key, a phone charger operated through the cigarette lighter that only succeeds in making my phone lose charge more slowly, an AC system that would vibrate the whole dashboard alarmingly if it had to work too hard, and music that I played through a casette tape with bluetooth connectivity...to a car where I get in, put my phone down on the wireless charging pad, and watch the touchscreen automatically turn on with my Spotify and Google maps. Never again am I going to accidentally leave my headlights on and drain my car battery, LOL. Thanks, battery-attached jumper cables, you served me well. The car is so damn quiet and smooth, too.
Also, it's a very pretty car! I got it in white. Sorry, "windchill pearl."
Anyway, I'm just experiencing a delightful bit of awe and joy. Happy graduation and early birthday to me! <3

I hear you, dreanty. I have had my hyperfixation on obscura for a while now, and Keir specifically has me in a chokehold (tho my favorite will forever and always be Oleander). The way Keir is so connected to his role as mouseholes leader and wants to protect everyone is so urgh <3, and the bickering between him and vesper is so good!
anyway, feel free to yap about it!! Obscura is so great
~🌿
Okay thank you for holding my hand and letting me yap. Spoiler for keir’s chapter 2
Please don’t mind how badly it’s written I’m literally writting how i feel about keir x vesper with no filter straight out my mind.
I really like Keir and Vesper relationship as a whole ans the fact they banter yet accommodate to each other in a way that isn’t romantic per se but very close. They are close, they live together they share a house and they have this casualty that makes their banter more banal. Vesper is expected home, someone expect them home and care enough to wait for them when they aren’t there. Vesper wants to decorate the house, to put a part of themselves in the space they share, the only place under the mountain that is their home cause it is ! It went from Keir’s home to their home !
They both talk to the bones of the house, they have habits and familiarity and it’s a sene of love that isn’t automatically romantic but it’s love ! ( that why I’m devastated about the ending of chapter 2 btw- )
They are close to each other but thinking the other don’t share the feelings they keep their guard up. That why Keir asking about vesper eyes is so intimate. Like it’s so much more intimate than him asking if vesper has a deadly ilness ! This is a question you ask because you care about the other one, there is yearning in knowing more about them because you want to know more about them, they aren´t just someone random it´s the person who's being haunt you, you need to get a grap of the slighlest detail about them to hold it dear to your heart. Keir gets upset if you say you lied about your eyes beause he trusted you first hand, it´s the first time he blindly trust you.
Also Keir keeps saying about « when i’ll see your face » in his mind it’s a fact that at some point he will see their face it’s no an « if » it’s a « when » He fully assume or wants to believe that it will happen. He dosen’t want to idealize vesper but he think about it, he think about them and what they might look like. Keir desperately wants to know about the most private knowelge about vesper, what do you look like, you are special you are Vesper and i need to see you humanly i want to see you humanly.
Also the fact that he laters calls the market event a date ? In his mind he was being very obvious about his feelings but going out to buy furniture for your shared house being taken as a date ??? That casual married couple activity I’m sorry-
Now about the tooth gap if you choose to say you have one not only it’s a revelant information about yourself ( and when listing your face attribut he says nice smile instead of simply tooth gap + vesper later on has a dialogue when they say they would be happy with the thought that he might find his smile cute ) BUT ALSO- this information comes back later after he kissed vesper. His mention of feeling the tooth gap has me on the ground because he can’t see vesper, he still can’t answer the question that has been haunting him but feeling the tooth gap makes it more real, it’s there and it’s Vesper’s face. It’s not just a word that could be a lie, it’s a real fact that he gets to feel.
I am now out of battery so i’ll stop here to go find a charger but my fucking god- i am unwell.

a slave's collar is their most important accessory. not only does it show that they're owned, but with stylization and customization, it can also show who exactly owns them. Mistress prefers a nice rose gold band with floral engravings. to the unsuspecting, it looks like a fancy metal choker or extravagant piece of jewelry. but to those who do know, it's true purpose is undeniable.
the collar is equipped with the obvious essential features: gps, microphone, motion trackers, proximity sensors, and various devices that monitor my every movement. of course, all those features would be pretty pointless if Mistress didn't have a way to control me. that's why there are five electrodes placed equidistant from each other at various points along my neck. the electrodes can be controlled manually by a secure program that only Mistress has access to. all five can be fired individually, with 25 levels of intensity. 1 is a mild tickle. 5 is a painful shock, but relatively manageable as long as it's not prolonged. 10 is enough to bring me to my knees as I cry and beg for her to stop. she has only ever used 11 once, and I blacked out immediately. as for 25... don't worry about it
the collar features an incredibly secure and tamper-proof locking system. as it's locked, various circuits are armed. if the lock is broken and those circuits are broken... um... well. maybe you're thinking I can just wait for the battery to drain completely before taking it off without issue. think again, because there are two batteries installed that last quite a long time without a charge. the collar itself doesn't use all that much electricity, but in the case that one battery is completely drained, it will switch to the second battery. both batteries can last about 5 months each, so I'd have to go almost a year without charging for it to even reach depletion. also, once the final battery reaches its last 5% of charge, all the remaining electricity is released at once through the electrodes at level 25 until there is nothing left. basically, my collar isn't coming off with me alive.
I never have to worry about low batteries, however. Mistress has installed a number of radio frequency wireless charging devices around her mansion, meaning that as long as I am inside, my battery remains at almost full charge. the only time it has ever dipped below 99.7% is one afternoon when Mistress was extremely mad at her father and decided to take her anger out on me. whatever makes her happy makes me happy. I'm glad that my suffering is cathartic for her.
alongside the chargers, proximity detectors are placed on the outside walls. if I get to close to an exit, Mistress is automatically notified and a level 1 shock is admitted. if I get even closer, the shock is amplified dramatically. stepping outside is a level 25. the only way I'm ever allowed outside is if Mistress manually disables the 'electric fence' as she calls it. but when she does that, she has a separate system that acts in a similar way that shocks me more the further away from her I get.
you might think that all of this is unnecessary. all these systems and programs are what you might call "exceptionally overkill" or "horribly sadistic" or "just plain cruel". but the main reason they exist actually isn't to keep me in line. even if trying to take my collar off didn't kill me, I wouldn't ever dream of removing it. I would never go outside unless Mistress made me, even without the electric fence active. even the 25 levels of shock are a display of power. I'm small enough that level 13 would probably be enough to kill me.
the reason all these things exist is actually to show everyone that every single aspect of my life is completely under Mistress's control. I already know it's pointless to try and escape or fight back. I realized that before the collar was ever locked around my throat. all the ways in which Mistress has power over me are already obvious to me. because these precautions aren't for me. they're for you. to terrify you, and show you exactly what happens to people who wrong my Mistress. unless you want to end up like me, I strongly recommend you stay on her good side.

"Dormant" Absolute Solver AU Cyn Update :)
So I went ahead and updated Cyn's design a little!! Original Ref Here
Tumblr media Tumblr media
First we have the outfit, it stayed pretty much the same except some slight colour changes. Now, as for the charger tail: Cyn is basically disabled by robot standards, and one of her disabilities includes battery issues and not charging fully in sleep mode. She (and any other drone with this!) can get a charging cord, or other energy source, somewhere on their body. It typically is inside a little compartment and can be either let out or kept in (similar to a vaccum cleaner) depending on if it is needed or not. Cyn's tends to automatically open if her battery starts getting low, she is tired or is losing too much charge in a short amount of time. This is NOT DAS!Cyn exclusive! I use this as a general Cyn/Drone hc and you will see it in all my Cyn art or fics!
Now, for her body:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hidden under her headband are eyes from the solver mutations! They are typically closed, unless she is in her Solver Form! If she is using her wings, claws & tail, then the eyes also open and she has to remove her headband in order to see properly. The AS designed the DDs headband optics based off this mutation! (note: each solver drone mutates a little different! DAS!Uzi does not have these, partly bc she is not infected for as long and partly because she is just a different drone!) I do not show her upper back in the ref, but she also would have a huge scar there from wings, similar to how many people draw Uzi :) I included a clean version of her Core here, so you can properly see it. Also yes her core is damaged & leaking :"
Her Wings
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A version with and without the blood so you can see it clearer! Some friends know what the Spoiler one says, but I will not share it here for now :" Feel free to guess what the second pair of wings and the second tail mean tho hehe Note: Similar to V and Uzi, on the back side of the wings she would have eyes in the same yellow as her tails/her eyes! This ref shows the inside of the wings!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bonus so you see where her hair falls in front of her body:
Tumblr media
Other DAS info Posts: Cyn Timeline (not 100% accurate as there may be changes made as I go) Height Chart
The Original Concept for the AU, Pre Ep 7 (had changes since!) Old Reference with some extra Info
My Core Hcs (not DAS specific)
I do have an alternate version of this ref for something to hehe :3

Small mobile robots carrying sensors could perform tasks like catching gas leaks or tracking warehouse inventory. But moving robots demands a lot of energy, and batteries, the typical power source, limit lifetime and raise environmental concerns. Researchers have explored various alternatives: affixing sensors to insects, keeping charging mats nearby, or powering the robots with lasers. Each has drawbacks. Insects roam. Chargers limit range. Lasers can burn people’s eyes. Researchers have now created MilliMobile, a self-driving robot that is about the size of a penny, weighs as much as a raisin, and can move about the length of a bus (30 feet, or 10 meters) in an hour even on a cloudy day. The robot can drive on surfaces such as concrete or packed soil and carry nearly three times its own weight in equipment like a camera or sensors. It uses a light sensor to move automatically toward light sources.

bow PLEASE tell us the tail story
Sure I can like do that!
Soooo after I died I didn’t immediately get to purgatory mansion, the details are like pretty blurry and all I remember is just a bunch of various green flashes and error notifications :p.
I know that seems like really random to bring up but trust me, it’s integral to what I figured out.
Anyways after that I woke up in the mansion, there’s no records of it existing before I died soooo I think Mephone automatically subconsciously made it as a error handler to correct whatever I broke with how he revives people or something :p
After that I was utterly bored out of my mind because my phone was outta battery and I hadn’t found the charger yet soooo I got to experimenting with my new ghost powers.
I had like a few years alone sooooo I figured out exactly the loophole I had got through:
Basically with how I died with mephone specifically broken it left me unable to be recovered by conventional means, the Meeple systems automatically bugged out with no idea of what exactly to do with me so it made the mansion.
But considering that’s a stipulation like I figured out that if you die at any point while Mephone 4’s recovery app is offline you’re considered “permanently dead” by the system, glitch out and like end up at the mansion!
Now this has a few properties that could have helped save everyone if that ball thingy hadn’t been shut off before I got a chance to do it.
All we had to exactly do was get all the contestants to die before whatever was like deleting the contestants got to them with Mephone 4 turned off and the recovery app inactive.
They’d have been all sent to the mansion immune from being deleted.
From there I figured out we could like transfer their data into robot bodies aka another loophole with how their creation worked exactly essentially like rendering them immune from the effects of being deleted or whatever.
Unfortunately everything like got unplugged before I could get to Mephone soooooo it’s too late now :p.
I have no idea if they’re fully deleted or not since I’m not a genius I just had enough time to figure stuff out of boredom.
So yea sorry I don’t like have the magical method of bringing everyone back.
Anyways as for me still being in Apple I think since the ball thingy got unplugged while I was in her it like confused the systems enough that it just rendered her “a important system file that’s unable to be deleted” and moved on.
And to tie up that loose end her mind survived too not just her body sooo you can like technically add her to the survivor list I guess.
I can’t give her back control or leave her body for some reason though so she’s unable to talk and like do anything else apart from think, watch me do stuff and mentally talk to me.
Since I can hear her I can relay what she says soooo you guys like can also ask apple stuff!

My idea on how to promote the new Yellowjacket season
Tumblr media
Yes Jackie Taylor Tamagotchis . No wifi , no apps just geting Ella Purnell to record a few hundred short video clips in low resolution so you will have predtermined options. We also add in very low res games about hunting, getting water, playing football etc. And then it works like a Tamagotchi but it's actually much worse. You have to take care of your Jackie all the time. You have to talk to her to keep her happy(by chosing the right dialogue), you have to play the games to find her food, water and to keep her enterainted, you have to cuddle with her before you put her to sleep, you have to comfort her if she randomly wakes up from a nightmare.
Jackie needs are completely random. She could at any time demand attetion or anything else (by having the Tamagotchi loudly yell with Ella Purnell's voice which can't be muted) Yes anytime includes 3 am. If you don't pay attention to her three times in a row she gets sad/hungry/thirsty and dies and you lose all your progress. If you ever forget to charge the battery and it dies so does Jackie and all your progress is lost. If Jackie dies three times the device is automatically bricked and the only thing it will show is a short clip of a crying Ella Purnell saying "how could you let me die." If you keep her happy for an year you are rewarded with a short clip of Jackie in a wedding dress saying I do to you The device will cost $50 and it will include a charger, a carabiner to hang it and a small booklet of one hundred and fifty pages which is all about Jackie. You need to know the booklet by heart because it;s vital to the conversations you will have and if you get too many things wrong Jackie will feel sad and die It will be an absolute nightmare and make you want to murder someone but admit it. You would buy it in an insant

Finally got my utility meters replaced so I don't have to go outside to top them up, and now instead of having a little screen on the meters themselves they've given me this little separate touch-screen thing that's wirelessly connected to them, and like sure it's snazzy and all but is this object really necessary
You can also top up with an app and they also said you can still use your keys with cash in-person and it'll automatically transfer over to the meters, who mined the silicon for the circuits and the lithium for the battery and the copper for the charger cable in this thing that doesn't need to exist

Today, I may have finally scared off a guy at work who has been repeatedly asking me out, despite the various forms of 'no' I have given him.
Even a straight up 'no, I don't feel comfortable dating someone at my work.'
Now you may be wondering, how exactly I finally accomplished this.
Well... I was brutally honest with a question he had today. One that made him rather uncomfortable.
(And made him leave me alone earlier than he usually does.)
I should preface the following story by saying there will be TMI, to some degree, that many people probably don't care to hear from a stranger, so fair warning.
I suppose I'll give some backstory on this guy. I have been working at my current job for nearly 4 years, and have known this guy for nearly the whole time as well.
As stated, I'm not comfortable 'dating' anyone I work with, even if we have different jobs/shifts/departments or whatever. I have given it a try on 2 different occasions, neither worked out, and one even led to some harassment at work.
Now, me and this guy, I'll call him Jim (which is nowhere close to his actual name) we've been 'friendly' for about 2 years now, though I don't see him much usually. People who have read some of my rants will know I work in a warehouse, specifically battery maintenance for the pallet jacks and fork lifts. This includes changing out batteries to charge in the equipment, which the operators bring in.
Jim is an 'order selector', which means he goes around and picks up various grocery items that have been ordered by the store to restock, piles it all on a pallet, wraps it up in plastic, and delivers it to the area on the loading dock where the store's order is then loaded into a truck and sent off to the store.
All of this means that he uses a piece of equipment that uses a BIG battery, and that battery drains and needs to be switched with a fresh battery eventually. Which is where I come in. Jim drives his pallet jack into my work area, parks it in the 'changing zone' for me to do one of the big parts of my job. Working a big machine to pull his dead battery out and switch it with another from the chargers.
This process usually takes 3 minutes, and only that long because everything needs logged. I have to write down the pallet jack number, the battery number I'm taking out of it, the charger it's going on, the date, time, and my initials. Not hard, but still takes about 3 minutes total for the whole process, including putting the fresh battery in.
Now, usually, people leave after this. They have more orders to select after all, and they have to meet a certain quota.
...but Jim likes to stick around and talk to me, if there's no one else waiting for a battery.
And before this was never really an issue for me. Jim can do what he wants, and if he wants to risk not meeting his quota because he's talking to me while I work, that's on him. We would talk about various things, usually video games and inane workplace gossip. And then one day, several months back, Jim asked me out.
I said no. I said I don't date people at work. I said it can create an awkward work environment.
He said ok, and things went back to normal, only now I was a little apprehensive about having Jim linger as he did. For the most part, my work area is pretty barren of people unless someone comes in to get a fresh battery. All the other maintenance people work in the shop further back, some 200+ feet and behind a block wall and automatic roller door.
Perhaps I'm paranoid, but being left alone with someone who has shown interest in me, and been denied, and knowing there'd be no one to hear anything should anything sketchy happen unnerves me.
But I don't say anything. I let Jim talk, kind of answer him, but mostly get on with my other work duties until he leaves.
And then he asks me out again.
And again.
And asks to 'hang out'.
'What am I doing this weekend', 'do I have plans', etc.
Every other week it seems. He'd ask some variation of wanting to see me outside work, to do something, and I've said no every time.
And he still asks.
Now, on to the 'TMI' portion.
It's 'that time of the month', I get horrible pms, horrible cramps, DRASTIC mood swings, and honestly get a little... murdery.
Who wouldn't when feeling that kind of pain, and still having to work and stand and just be ok for 8+ hours a day while dealing with people.
So anyway, it's about 3 hours into my shift, my advil still has not kicked in, it's been a pretty busy morning changing batteries and constantly pulled away from my other duties...
And then Jim comes in.
I sigh under my breath, walk to my machine, switch out the batteries, get my paperwork filled out, step off the machine and Jim starts talking.
And as he's talking I get the mother of all cramps. And while I try to keep a pretty neutral face at work during this trying time, I must have made some sort of expression. Because Jim asks if I'm ok.
And between the gross, dirty feeling of the current mess my pants are forced to contain, the cramps, the heat of my workplace, the annoyance that Jim can't just leave me alone for ONE day, I ask a rather inane question.
"Have you seen the Alien movies? With the Xenomorphs?" I ask out of nowhere. Jim is rather perplexed, but answers.
"Uh...yeah?"
"Well right now it feels like I have a chestburster. But instead of coming out of my general torso area, it feels like it's trying to burst out of one of my ovaries. And it's been going on for about an hour now and the advil just is not kicking in yet. In fact, I'm in such pain right now my right leg is actually kind of numb, and I'm pretty breathless honestly, and would love nothing more than to cry right now but seeing as I'm at work and can't exactly do that and expect to keep my job, I'm just sort of holding all of that in to the best of my ability. And actually, it's time for my break where I can take more advil and actually sit down for a bit, but as usual you're holding me back from doing that with your usual meaningless banter while you try to come up with yet another way to ask me out, even though I've said no the past twenty or so times. And honestly, it's getting to the point now where I'm tempted to bring this to HR cause apparently you don't know what 'no' means and might just turn one of my days into an episode of 48 hours because you seem rather obsessed with me."
...Long story short he left pretty quickly after that, looking rather cowed. And I'm honestly expecting to be called into HR or something Monday when I go back to work because I can't see him actually dropping this with no reaction.
(Also, I was 100% serious about the chestburster bit.)

Sometimes I wanna administer my services as a person who just asks questions to creative writers to help them write.
I just watched a looping cartoon where a cyborg girl on low battery power is panicking due to that fact. Her battery runs out, and an automatic solar charger on her body recharges her enough for her to wake back up.
In this loop, the overlying conflict is "Low Battery," so you'd think the character on screen would be doing something to conserve battery power.
However, she focuses on fixing her voice module (likely because the animator wanted to do a cool little voice modulation thing where her vocal clarity is awful at first and slowly becomes more clear), and then starts to attempt to repair her missing leg before running out of battery power.
I know it's not some kind of masterful piece of creative writing that's supposed to be deeply engaging, it's just a little looping 40-ish second animation someone made.
But I just sat there with an eyebrow raised like a Dreamworks character and went "Now wait just a second, this plot makes no sense"
Why would she fix her voice module if she's alone?
Why would she try to repair her leg if her missing ARM might be a more functionally useful thing to repair in her current state?
Why wouldn't she do LITERALLY ANYTHING TO CONSERVE HER BATTERY POWER?
And most importantly, why would she be panicking if she very clearly has a solar charger that activates automatically upon her running out of battery power?
Again, I get it, it's not meant to be anything more than an artsy little looping animation, but these are things I swear to God so few writers even consider. If you're going to introduce a conflict that's the entire plot of something, why would you make the character(s) just completely ignore the conflict and panic about entirely unrelated things?
If there's a safety net that's in place specifically to prevent the conflict, why make the character(s) panicking?
Like why do so few people ask these questions???
I had a friend who had an android OC that had depression, and I asked them "Why did someone program them to have depression?" to which they replied "Oh, because they're a brain in a robotic body."
I then looked at some of their example art and pointed to an instance of them downloading a "personality matrix" that made them into an obedient pet-play kink character, and I went "So you've clearly established they can download new personalities, so why wouldn't they download something to cure their depression? You've shown that your character is constantly sad, constantly complaining about their mental health, constantly being used as vent-art for your real life mental issue, but you've also established in-canon that your character can easily fix that problem. So why don't they?"
They then responded by stating the pet-play part was no longer canon, because "Make an android OC with depression" was more important to them than thinking logically about the canon they've created. It just baffled me, and still does.
People are so much more concerned about creating a character that fits some kind of label or opinion or self-insert than they are about actually utilizing their own established canons to create potential resolutions for character conflict.
People don't want character growth, they want a walking symbol representing something they believe or some archetype they find attractive, and they want that character to never change, never improve and never overcome any issues they have because doing any of those things would change their character.
Am I just incapable of writing brief posts
