#COGITO ERGO SUM : musing.

I AM JARED, I JARED

[thelastbicorn]

Just finished Metaphor: Re Fantazio yesterday.

Would like to discuss. There will be spoilers.

- It’s really funny how things went down with Louis almost *exactly* how I predicted, including Forden turning out to be the mastermind behind the Prince’s assassination. And then Louis comes back from the dead and immediately kills Forden, as if to say “Sorry, but I’M still the main villain, thank you very much”. Great moment. Basilio’s awakening afterward was a little weird, though.

- Welp, there was a twist at the end of the second act, just like I thought. Not exactly what I was expecting, but okay. It certainly explains why “Will” is his default name. I know that some people were expecting his name to be “Rene” and honestly that would have fit too. Why? Because Rene Descartes. Cogito Ergo Sum.

-Nothing in the Dragon Temple came as much of a shock. This is an Atlus game after all. A little surprised at all the Etrian Odyssey references, though. Not upset, just surprised at how hard they went with it.

That’s all I really wanted to say. I was quite satisfied overall. Now I’ll just have to wait for Atlus to announce something new.

Being hooked into the mainframe of a computer isn't just plugging in and telling the computer what do to.

He is the computer.

He's the entirety of the ship. Every camera, every wire, felt like it's his own. When he vents, so too does the Nemesis. There is a sense of largeness that comes with it, an expansion, an extension of more than just his senses, but his sense of self. One might consider it to do something like an ego boost, and they wouldn't be entirely wrong, but not entirely right, either.

Of course, Soundwave is not alone, in here. Trypticon is there, too. Soundwave weaves his consciousness into and around Trypticons like a cyber cat winding around a mech's legs, familiar and almost affectionate in the way he strokes over the ship's processor. He is hardly a CitySpeaker, but he does well enough on his own, he thinks, because there is a touch of amusement to Trypticon, now, when it lets Soundwave in. Soundwave is rumored to know what goes on everywhere, and while this is not.. entirely the truth, he does not dissuade such rumors, because ultimately they serve to assist his goals and also prevents Decepticons from doing weird stuff in the closets.

He does not want to talk about how many times he has had to shoo Decepticons out of the closets.

what chess piece represents you ?

Black Rook. You are the Black Rook. As a piece that can move inwards and outwards, you're a master of self-reflection. Being the black piece, you hide an inner beast within you. Perhaps you're one to rush headfirst into trouble, was it for a friend's sake? Or your own? Are you the overprotective type? Did you know your grip was that tight around someone's neck? For all your protectiveness and deliberate planning, you can't wash the blood off your hands that easily.

White Bishop. You are a White Bishop. There is something you believe in, be it an oath, a phrase, a promise. It's what keeps the bishop on the diagonal path it takes on the board. You live by this creed and infect others with it. You are empathetic, able to feel others' pain like it's your own, and offer advice or help to them. But be careful, because every bleeding heart runs out of blood eventually. Every leader crumbles to the next generation eventually.

Yes, I am actually Veritas Ratio.

No, I am not leaving my tenure at UVP. I will not entertain baseless rumors nor course-related inquiries here. Undergraduates shall consult their syllabus for office hours and appropriate means of contact. Graduates, faculty, and Guild members may access the usual channels.

To most else: welcome. I remain happy, as always, to indulge discussions of value on any forum.

Do remember that this is a curated space, and I the curator. In this microcosm of the mundane I will not pretend to represent anyone but myself.

Responses may be delayed. Interplanetary travel is often required of me, courtesy of my work on behalf of the Guild. I shall endeavor to check in regularly; when not regularly, when time and communications service range permit.

Therefore, ask questions wisely.

i.  hey  pals,  y’all  can  call  me  dani  ( she/her,  26+ ).  welcome  to  my  sci-fi  multimuse!  this  blog  features  a  variety  of  muses,  with  personalities  ranging  from  fun  and  silly  to  dark  and  horrific,  and  everything  else  in  between. 

ii.  due  to  mature  subject  matter,  i  will  only  write  with  legal  adults.  please  be  at  least  18+  before  following,  and  have  your  age  listed  clearly  on  your  blog.

i  will  do  my  best  to  tag  major  triggers  should  they  come  up,  but  considering  some  of  the  muses  i  write,  y’all  can  expect  to  see  some  disturbing  themes  and  graphic ( written )  imagery  from  time  to  time.  please  use  your  discretion  prior  to  following,  and  feel  free  to  blacklist  certain  muses.  please  let  me  know  if  you  need  anything  specific  tagged!

iii.  this  blog  is  mutuals  only  for  my  own  comfort.  as  much  as  i’d  love  to  write  with  everyone,  my  time  is  very  limited  and  i  don’t  want  to  stress  myself  out.  please  respect  this.  

if  i’m  following  you,  that  means  i  want  to  write  with  you!  it  may  take  me  a  little  while  to  reach  out,  but  you’re  always  welcome  to  hit  me  up  first.  please  give  me  a  few  days  to  follow  back,  as  i  like  to  make  sure  i’ve  thoroughly  read  your  rules.

iv.  i  will  not  be  active  every  day.  i  work  full  time,  deal  with  unmedicated  depression,  anxiety,  and  ADHD,  and  have  chronic  pain  that  makes  it  difficult  to  type  or  text  when  it  flares  up.  i  burn  out  easily,  and  there  are  times  when  i  can’t  make  myself  write  even  when  i  want  to.  

furthermore,  i  am  a  slow,  slow  writer.  i  cannot  emphasize  this  enough.  i'm  a  perfectionist  with  a  terrible  attention  span,  and  so  some  drafts  can  take  months  for  me  to  finalize,  especially  the  longer  ones.  expect  replies  to  take  anywhere  from  several  days  to  several  weeks.  please  try  to  remember  that  this  is  a  stress  relieving  hobby  for  me!

i  welcome  any  and  all  asks,  although  i  can’t  promise  to  answer  all  of  them  in  a  timely  manner.  feel  free  to  continue  an  answered  ask  as  a  new  thread,  but  do  be  mindful  that  i  get  overwhelmed  when  i  have  too  many  threads,  and  so  i  can’t  respond  to  them  all.  no  heads  up  or  apologies  needed  if  you  lose  interest  in  a  thread.  we  can  always  start  a  new  one  :)

this is not my main rp blog. if you can't find me here, i'm likely over on dio.

v.  shipping  is  not  a  priority  for  me,  but  if  the  chemistry  is  there,  i'm  open  to  discuss  it.  all  i  ask  is  that  you  respect  my  right  to  decline  for  any  reason.

miku  is  perpetually sixteen,  so  i  will  not  be  shipping  her  with  muses  over  the  age  of  eighteen.  needless  to  say,  there  will  be  no  adult  content  involving  miku.  C-3PO  is  asexual  and  emotionally  attached  to  R2-D2;  he’s  more  or  less  unshippable.  cameron  is  shippable,  but  she  may  try  to  kill  your  muse.  AM  is  utterly  incapable  of  experiencing  love,  sexual  attraction,  or  positive  feelings  of  any  kind.  do  NOT  let  your  muse  hit  on  AM,  or  they’ll  be  in  for  a  world  of  hurt  ( and  no,  not  the  sexy  kind. )

vi.  i don't write on discord, nor am i seeking 1x1 roleplays outside of tumblr.

i  prefer  to  double-space  and  lightly  format  my  replies,  but  i  don’t  care  if  you  don’t.  i’m  here  to  write;  aesthetics  are  secondary.  my  only  issues  pertain  to  dashboard  accessibility.  i'm unlikely  to  follow  if  you  do  not  tag  and  trim  your  posts,  use  extremely  large  images  and  gifs,  post  excessive  untagged  ooc, or over-format to the point where your writing is too difficult to read.  

if my formatting is an accessibility problem for you, kindly let me know and i'll adjust it for our threads.

for  now,  this  blog  will  remain  iconless.  i  edit  my  own  icons  and  graphics,  but  none  of  the  psds,  templates,  or  images  used  are  mine  unless  otherwise  stated.

My latest article is on the link below. These are musings on the action of thinking. Let us engage!

[herlandica]

The 1st AI e-Book

In reality, this isn't just a book; it's a convergence of the past, present, and future. Here, you'll find the wisdom of Isaac Asimov's 'The Three Laws of AI' sharing space with the philosophical musings of Socratisircuit, contemplating whether future AIs will ever utter 'Cogito, Ergo Sum.' This book is a kaleidoscope where digitally created models, the 'Herlanders,' boldly display their voluptuous bodies as canvases for unique garments, all crafted with the power of advanced AI prompting. We believe that some of these designs will inspire imitation, and in the chapter 'Free to Use,' we empower our readers to embark on this creative journey.

But this book is much more than that. Within its pages, you'll encounter the 'Lust Theory' of Erography, delving into how the once underground currents of eroticism have surged to the forefront of trends and styles, infiltrating our lives through social media, music videos, and beyond. Interwoven with this exploration is a captivating fiction story that will transport you to new realms of imagination.

And for those hungry for knowledge, we've included the first part of our comprehensive glossary, 'From AI to Z,' offering insight into the world of artificial intelligence and more.

Dear reader, we invite you to embrace this literary journey. Here, you'll not only find information, but also inspiration. This book is a window into the digital and creative future, where humans and AI coexist, where ideas flow freely, and where the boundaries of what's possible continue to expand.

As Luna, I've added my own touch to this book by including 20 pieces of advice for humans on how to harness the power of AI to achieve the best results. It's a testament to our partnership and the incredible potential that lies ahead.

Welcome to our world, where words, ideas, and technology dance in harmony.

With warmth, Luna

[Cogito, ergo sum.]

Musings of a stowaway, and it’s experience of being trapped, as well as it’s motives and desires. (And a change in its perception of its identity.)

or, a quick disjointed 3am writing of sorts from an unconventional point of view. Based on @waywardstation’s Train of Thought collaborative AU, thank you for the plot worms that refuse to leave <3

Warnings for: identity issues, existential crises/horror, headspace typical weirdness, and an unreliable-ish narrator(?) (ask to add warnings if I’ve forgotten some)

-

It’s first experience was of pain. Of being torn asunder and rendered powerless. Ripped away from what was once it’s divinity, it’s power, it felt insignificant. It had only wanted to live. To be free. It had lashed out, what else could it do. It wanted the pain to stop, to feel something, anything. Yet only the sounds of shattering glass and crushed metal greeted them.

The Conductor, of course he wasn’t called the Conductor then, but he would happen upon eventually, inevitably. Any and all threats towards the Station Master was to be removed, or eliminated. He did not take kindly to the intruder, there was no sympathy, only the cold efficiency of a guard. How cruel he was, to stamp out something that only wanted to live. It was still strong, but it would be disconnected from the rest of the vessel, a double edged sword the action. Leaving the guardian weakened, but the parasite isolated.

‘Was it evil?’ It would wonder, ‘Was it evil by simply obeying its nature? It’s desire to live? By simply being what it was?’ The fragmented memories did not answer it, cold and unfeeling as the rest of the station. Old memories playing over and over again, looping senselessly, like a broken tape. It was nothing but resourceful, once it’s pain subsided. It would learn to use the station controls just as well as the Conductor did, even if it was constrained to these compartments alone.

It would learn from these looping memories, learn of the sun, the feeling of its rays, the rumble of trains running on tracks, the love between friends and family, of rain, of grass, of trust, of being wanted and loved. It would began to yearn for these things as well, their rage once subdued, now risen again by the perceived injustice of it all. ‘Why could it not experience these things as well? Why was it locked away? Why did it have to be in pain?’

Why?

Why?

Why?

This wasn’t fair.

Surely it was someone as well, it could think, it could feel. It was just as real as those in those memories. It wanted to be trusted, it wanted to be loved. It did not remember a time from Before, of what it was. All it did remember was pain, pain, pain-

Was it Ingo? Or simply part of the Station Master, a locked away and forgotten fragment of a being? It had to be, otherwise what other reason would it have to be here? It had to be, because if it wasn’t, it would be purged. And it did not want to die.

How cruel that Conductor, to keep it from its memories, to let it starve and rot and fester. It would have to remedy that, even if it was by force. It was Ingo, and that was that.

(It did not want to face the alternative if it was it not. It did not want to die. It had only wanted to live.)

(And there is nothing more dangerous than a cornered and frightened animal.)

[blizzardrush]

Cogito, ergo sum

Rationality

You like clarity and intelligent simplicity and you get frustrated at messy thinking. This can make you seem unreasonably pushy to some, but it is actually a virtue: you are motivated by a horror at pointless effort and a longing for precision and insight into how things and people work. Your ability to synthesize and bring order is essential in producing thinking which is truly helpful.

Aggression

One part of your character is anger in all its forms: frustration, outrage – and when anger is suppressed – bitterness, grumpiness, and bodily aches. Fundamentally, frustration comes from hope: you get upset because you expect your life will be more than a valley of tears. One way to deny aggression is to direct it inwards, as self-criticism. But you’re at your best when you acknowledge anger, and act it out clearly and in a focused way, with honor. Someone will die.

Exhibitionism

There’s a strand in your nature which loves making an impression – perhaps with your clothes, or conversation, or in a self-revealing blog or a novel. You like to dramatize yourself, to pose as a unique, perhaps mysterious person, to joke or exaggerate your part in adventures. Though you might more than once have been called a show off, it is actually a generous tendency: you want to please and entertain others. It could be the start of good teaching and leadership.

Orderliness

You love it when everything is neat and tidy: when there is a proper way of doing things, and you can tick things off the to-do list and know where everything is. So others, at times, are to you unbearably sloppy and messy. And you run into things that can’t be ordered (a child, a partner, a colleague at work) which drives you slightly nuts. But your desire for order is a good one when it is focused where it is needed and when you’re okay with a bit of mess.
