Spilled Poem: CYPHER THIS ASSSSSSS

Forever, the Fervent one shall roam! Scrawling our brains into their tomb, Sketching us into the past, Forever shall we last!

Their Bone creaks like wind-stressed wood, And their shadow cast– it lingers long, Further back then any would, For Fervent one is sprung from song; Song of Whispers cosmic! Silent bars unbroken beat, Rube-Gold-notes Sturs ‘causic, For Fervent spawned from sweet peat! So join the earth from whence you came! Soon enough we’ll all be same, Fetid brown and mouldy black; As the Fervent one takes us back!

Anywho I could go on but I decided that was a little to cruel for yous so your welcome! :}

DAY 126 - WIZARD (Click for better quality)

Thanks for the suggestion! I actually needed to think of a scenario where all SIX (Six!) of the emojis play a crucial role, and so I dub thee: Wizard Goose With Weirdly Humanoid Hands Uses Virus (Virus? Retro enemy? Arcade figure? Space invader sprite.) Magic To Take A Sewing Needle Out Of The Lungs Of A Bat Who Got Maybe A Little Too Enthusiastic About Sewing/Knitting/Crocheting (Seriously what do you do with a sewing needle I’m uncultured with this)

i wonder if the tampon/pad thing is one if those europe/america divides like tampons having applicators...like i genuinely don't know a single pad person i think, the results of that poll absolutely blew my mind

RIGHT!! i was so shocked?? i do know a fair few pad users but i feel like basically everyone uses tampons every now and then!!

Extra

I made a little comic about clover being happy cause the bean deserves it! In not proficient in comics, so im sorry if anything is hard to understand!

(the order of pannels is top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right lol)

Also, even if theyre living with martlet in this, starlo and ceroba definitely have shared custody

The idea was based on the thought that clover coming from a not-so-good envoirment gets really exited at the smalles things, while martlet is overly worried about making it nice for them :)

Enjoy!

holy shit I am genuinly in shock about how disrespecful my teacher has been about my assignment I feel so fucking degraded its insane

Watched the new episode of The Amazing Digital Circus and the wheels started turning.

Things don't look good for Caine. I mean no one in the circus is doing well but since it's Caine that keeps the whole boat afloot, it can become a real problem.

I don't think he's upset his adventure was sidelined in favor of Gangle's. But the Zooble's dialogue with Jax.

"The only thing holding Caine back is that he likes us".

Makes sense this line is from the character that had a close confrontation with him. And unresolved issues with.

But then at the end of the episode Caine glitch again. What makes Caine glitch? Worrying about not fulfill his assignment. Keeping the players entertained.

This adventure was a failure. All members of the circus got bad grades (except Kinger my goat), demotevated and upset.

(Tho it get a bit Better)

I'm sure Caine is gonna feel the after effects, internalize it.

But back at Zooble's words.

If Caine worries about failing at his job, what could happen if he start redirecting his frustations towards the Circus itself and its inhabitants?

What if he starts blaming them on why he's not capable to do his job?

And in a way he could be right.

The atmosphere in the Circus after this episode is about to change, some issues are gonna be confronted (Look at you Ragatha and Jax).

The family-friendly envoirment he so meticolously create is in danger. His players are not happy (because everybody is kinda busy coping in more or less healthy ways) and he has no way to solve it.

In conclusion, no straw that broker the camel's back but dominies falling and push each piece down.

I was thinking about the worst part when it comes to Obi-Wan and Anakin´s relationship issues wasn´t the tragic end in ROTS but those seeds planted at the start of their story where Obi-Wan resented Qui-Gon´s attention for Anakin while he felt the boy wasn´t much to look at and a future issue for his master with the Council in the long run which made Obi-Wan worried for his master reputation and how this would be affected while he could care less about Anakin´s well being or his pov or even his feelings on the matter.

The worst part is that Anakin didn´t just listen to Obi-Wan´s words, he could feel all of this from Obi-Wan as sensible as he was with the force and he could deal with Obi-Wan seeing him as a problem as long as Qui-Gon was alive and seemed to genuinely care for him even if nobody else at the Jedi Temple seemed to care but when Qui-Gon died he should have felt very lonely with a new guardian grieving his master who saw him more like a promise to his master legacy than a person.

Imagine all those times 9 year old Anakin missed his Mom or cried himself to sleep thinking about her, wondering if she was alright while other padawans teased him about his former slave status, his lack of formal education or his difficulty understanding concepts they have been told since they were babies, while not having any close relationship for the mere fact he didn´t grow up with them and his master more or less agreed with them even if he didn´t openly said it.

Anakin didn´t even have someone to have his back while he was growing up at the temple, because from their perspective those were issues he had to get over, no need for someone to support him emotinally or simply showed him some empathy, those were the same issues Obi-Wan had with Anakin since the moment they meet and while Anakin certainly did his best to grow into his potential, stydying hard and doing well on his studies, he was hardly recognized by his master, when his efforts were seen as arrogance instead of efforts to get the approval of his master and his peers.

Imagine that level of loneliness that your only company during your development years were the droids who helped you remember home and your Mom while at the same time feeling guilty for not feeling welcome at the temple because you were free and feed while your mother and friends were slaves and often lacked food and no one in the area could even begin to understand how Anakin felt and why except "Palpatine" but instead of helping Anakin he used this to manipulate him, get his trust and later make him fall to madness and the darkside.

The Sith Lord master understood better than anybody else at the Jedi temple that Anakin needed a father figure, not a master or a cold envoirment because that was familiar to him, that gave him emotional strenght and stability and more importantly, that make Anakin trust them and give his loyalty, no wonder he decided leaving Anakin to train as a Jedi in such circunstances were proper eteps towards becoming his sith apprentice and that irony probably didn´t escape him or Vader once he fell to the darkside but I don´t think Obi-Wan quite got that understanding until later when he saw Luke grow up with the Lars family but certainly not in the first few years post ROTS, he probably just reflected on where did he go wrong with Anakin.

What's your personal design of Rook, Kevin, Gwen, and Albedo in the other Alternative Universes?

Your art is amazing with unique designs and with a good story that made me love it more! I want to just eat them and leave!

Here’s them LORE DUMP UNDER PHOTO…. PLEASE READ IT TOOK ME FOREVER

What we know of Nega’s alternate Gwen and Kevin is that they are the token cheerleader and jock couple.They are also describes as Gwen having strawberry blond hair and Kevin rocking blond hair… odd… Ben does pretty much nothing of note with the watch so albedo would show up eventually, his goal? to take it from him or forcibly teach him…. Whichever comes first I guess. Also without the heroic pursuits to hear of, Rook never feels the pull of adventure or heroics sadly. But im accpeting cool ideas on what to do with this au since I have very little idea.

————-

Mad world story : (the explosive event happened a year after the loss of feedback, he never got around to removing the watch. Azmuth also never really cared to intervene in anything, he never left the mindset we first meet him with back in the movie. This leads to a much less mentally stable Ben)

Gwen: is taken off planet by the plumbers in their mission to rescue what living they can find from earth. Space if awfully unsafe for a 12 year old human, so she does what she thinks will keep her safe. Go full Anodite. With no grandpa Max or Ben around for her. Her and her parents are brought to Verdona where she lives with for the next while. Being accompanied by nightmares of those she misses.

Kevin: after escaping the null void is met with a hostile broken memory of a planet. He is rather lost in what exactly occurred, but not lost in what to do. The envoirment and energy of the place is not too different to the null void. So he does what he can to stay alive, earning some pretty loyal followers (sidekicks) who admire his abilities, straightforward-ness and rather blunt personality.

Rook: was stranded on earth after the crash of the ship he was on. He had only recently started his training. He is a year and a half older than Ben and had heard of the hero’s daring adventures. but no one ever got around to the fact that Ben was presumed dead, and the planet he hails from is on a sort of lockdown.

Albedo: is much more sympathetic than azmuth in this. He was against how demorailzing azmuth’s view on the whole situation on earth was. While azmuth looked at the catastrophe and suffering that the people endured as a controlled experiment to learn from and build a better watch. Albedo felt pity. Pity for the people slowly dying, pity for those sent in to save now stranded as well, pity for the once glorious water filled planet and pity for one omnitrix users declining state. After a long while of attempts to send in autonomous drones with anything he could think of to help, he finally settled on a plan. He would steal the completed version of the omnitrix, switch it out with one of his own prototypes and sneak it to earth. That would surely force azmuth to do something. In the mess of a plan he accidentally currupts his own form into the albino Ben Tennyson from he is cursed with in prime and makes it half injured to earth.(this is my explanation on why mad has the completed version of the watch.

———-

Bad: after being left behind during one of the missions in the null void by the plumbers. Ben is found by the rooters, They don’t exactly have the best for him in mind. (This is when he’s 14 so a year before prime him puts the omnitrix on. The plumbers are not entirely the best many are currupt. Also they viewed Ben openly as a weapon and not a person, he is aware of this to some extent but cannot do much about that.

Gwen: missing her cousin and believing him to be gone for good she buried herself in school and helping aid the plumbers dispense justice… though, this universes plumbers aren’t quite taken by fair ideals of justice. Just ones that feed their pockets. Gwen is a bit too lost in her grief and mysteries of ledgerdomain to notice for quite some time. She of course finds out through Kevin that Ben is alive! But he’s out following tetrax’s footsteps, he become a bounty hunter and not the law abiding kind. She attempts to keep that info on the downlow but someone else finds out and blabs to the higher ups causing Ben to be put on a wanted list. Of course that doesn’t end well as now any interaction Ben has with anyone for the next while gets blown out of proportion and demonized. Ben goes further into hiding due to this and now Gwen after a few years of getting close is back to square one.

Kevin: somehow instead of taking the route of bad boy he gains a sort of robinhood likeness. He steals from the rich, the rude and the authorities all together. Finding not so cynical ways to blow off steam, he rather stick it to the man or well, space police. Show them that even the broke-est of people can dispatch better justice than them. He runs into Ben semi often, they get into little spats but never far enough to do genuine damage. They both feel awful over Kevin’s unfortunate monstrous form he gained from their last true fight. Occasionally when things are dire they will fight alongside each other. Kevin was not part of the rooters plan due to being lost to them during Ben’s capture. Kevin feels sorry for the watch wearer, this is due to what the rooters put him through before tetrax stole him right from under their noses. Him and Gwen aren’t dating but she finds out through him that Ben is alive. This is of course after nearly arresting him and hearing a snide comment about how her cousin is less stuck up than her. She keeps friendly contact with Kevin after learning why he does what he does and to hopefully catch up to Ben someday.

Rook: his backstory is pretty much the same as prime but instead of simply working with the plumbers when finished his training, he is moved to work directly with the rooters after Ben is discovered to be still alive. Rook is glad to hear his idol is alive but then swiftly brought down to earth upon hearing that he is now a lowlife. Befuddled and feeling betrayed by someone he once looked up to, he works hard to hunt him down and bring him to justice. He hopes he can convince him to go willingly, maybe turn his life around. Little does he know that the ones he works for are the people he should be keeping an eye on. Him and Ben have a rough first meeting, but after countless chases, witty banter and stupid situations, they are somewhat found of one another much to both of their dismay.

Albedo: he aided tetrax is rescuing Ben from the rooters since with intended to use the watch recklessly. Even if albedo didnt agree giving a human child the watch, he knows it’s far safer in the teens hands than the plumbers. If that means having to personally teach and stick around the teen than Fine! But there’s complications when they manage to get the young teen out of their clutches, he is heavily injured and now missing many parts of his arm. What’s left seemingly is only the bones fully intact with much destruction done to the arm in an attempt to pry the watch off the host. Despite this he still attempts to keep Albedo from being harmed in their rushed escape, this earning a regreatful(he’ll never admit it) point in his book. After all that stuff. Albedo, Now left with small crew of bounty hunters, a couple stowaway amalgam teens, a really sad teen, his glowy crazy cousin and one grumpy accidentally kidnapped mindwashed rooter. To him, this sounds like the worst joke or the funniest dnd campaign, and he’s not sure which one he rather it be.

Zarro: very similar to prime but halfway through ultimate alien something in the watch goes wrong. He gets sick more often. Eventually his health deteriorates faster than before around season two of omniverse. Zscare has had enough of Ben and the meddling people he surrounds himself with. Ben becomes painting zero for a sort of ectonurite zombie apocalypse.

Thinking about Santiago.

How Armand was definitely appeasing Santiago to make up for killing his maker by colluding with him on the get go. Like Santiago definitely knew right when Armand knew about the two of them, and fair would only be fair. Santiago is someone who might act out frequently from all his resentment about his maker, and so Armand's probably thinking already that if he gives him this he'll finally cool his head about it. Stroke his ego a bit and give him a sense of power over something only Armand really has the power to do. But he doesn't follow through, as he'd caught feelings for Louis along the way. He's also realizing during this period of courting how much he really hates appeasing the coven all the time (he's notably bartered his body to them to solve arguments as this is 'how one endures'. and Coven life requires a 'letting of of the self'), let alone upholding all its laws with so much violence. He's not against either on principle, but is seriously questioning if this is who he wants to be at this period of time. Has honestly been disillusioned from the desire of coven life for the last century or so, because he's given the opportunity to see he can have other things. Like love.

With Claudia, Santiago's very much putting on a mask of innocence around her, scapegoating all the future blame onto Armand, anything that will happen will be Armand's fault. When really the only thing keeping this going is Santiago not backing down on needing the two of them dead so his ego is soothed. Santiago himself doesn't even care about all the laws. I'm not sure any of the coven or Armand do, let alone never indulging themselves in acting out in ways not tied solely to the group benefit. Which makes the fact they snitched on Claudia particularly interesting. They get to but she doesn't? Everyone hates Claudia to some degree and I think this just fuels Armand's hatred of her, because he's the one to always clean it up. And Claudia's going to act out, because, well she doesn't get along with anyone. I think the Baby Loulou play was a deliberate ploy to make the two of them buttheads, and what none of them, and their inflated egos, were expecting was for her to be a sweeping hit.

Armand knows if some coven members get to run rampant and some don't it leads to total chaos. So he can't just let Claudia have special privileges, but is technically letting her have them on a law the whole coven is in agreement on is something where a death sentence is entirely justified. (that of killing another vampire.) So this doubles over itself.

And to Armand, Santiago frequently emotionally degrades him, and publicly embarrasses him, in order to break him to a point where he has him where he wants him. He needs him broken so he can put him back together as he sees fit. Cause he can definitely easily coup and become the new maître, like he wants, but if Armand's all high and mighty, and feeling like he has any other choice, the whole plans a flop. Armand knows this sort of thing well enough to not see all this going on behind him (he does get lazy), even if he has a vague sense they'd probably get up to something, he's secure enough in Louis plan that they won't (which he calls love).

It's one of those things then where it has nothing to do with really wanting Claudia or Louis dead, at least for Santiago and Armand, but all about a clashing and contention between egos in a social contract that necessitates those bound to it be killed if they don't uphold, or fit into it well enough. Normally those who don't fit in are just prone to doing it themselves. It's a toxic work envoirment on steroids. Which Armand is in no small part apart of fostering the same as the rest of them. He does use a lot of their same tactics, and is normalized to them. (Such is a culture of toxicity). Then it's a little nation of vampires turning to fascism to get rid of the 'undesirables'. Which I think Armand does only come to sympathize with, because he felt he had no other choice (they'd broken him down), and it provided him with security. Much like Madeleine.

Moral of the story: never appease a fascist, and leave your toxic friend group at the soonest opportunity. Also leadership in relations where those who are in it do not have your best interest or values at heart, let alone if it's the group of the two of you, will likely want to undermine that leadership and relationship to serve their own interests (and visa-versa). This doubles as well for a larger community, or any person being against you, regardless of position. If they think they can get away with it, and desire to. And a lot of ways people think to do it is if it's already a normalized thought. I mean it's a big question when it comes to genocidal thinking, or really murder of any kind, how does an entire group of people, or person, become okay with the idea?

Bruises on your pretty face

OneshotPair: Tord (post end) x reader

Song: Class Fight (Melanie Martinez)

Part 3

(A/n): The title didn't want to work

(Y/n) traces her hand over neck, trailing over to the red sweater she was wearing. She grabs the collar of it, pulling it away from her. 'This thing feels kinda ichy'

She brushes the wrinkles out the coat that covered her figuren she looks in the mirror of her room, checking if she looked tidy enough. She wanted to give an good impression on her first day.

There was a knock on the door. (Y/n) Strolls towards it, grabbing the door handle and opens the door.

On the other side stands a woman she regonises as one of generals. "(L/n), it's time to begin your first day. Are you ready?"

The (h/c) haired girl nods, closing the door behind herself. She gets lead through the facility, getting a few stares from other soldiers.

"Don't mind the other soldiers. It's been quite a while since we've gotten a new admission, I'm surprised myself" The general explains, holding her arms behind her back.

They stop at an empty training room, filled with equipment. "This is where you'll be training for the next weeks. It will just be the two of us, as you aren't on the same level of skills as other cadets".

"When will I be joining the other soldiers?" (Y/n) ask, curiously."Once I decided that you have enough experience and skill to keep up with the other. Continuing on..."

They continue walking through the halls, (Y/n)'s (e/c) eyes observing the envoirment.

"Up ahead is the eating hall, where you'll be eating at eight, twelve and six. If you get lost, ask a nearby soldier" As the general speaks. (Y/n) notices a red door.

"Ma'am, may I ask where that door leads to?" She points towards the mysterious red door.

"That is Red Leader's office, the leader of this army. He is most likely in it, so we should not disturb him" The general responds, getting a nod of the girl.

┏━°⌜ 赤い糸 ⌟°━┓

Meanwhile

┗━°⌜ 赤い糸 ⌟°━┛Paul and Patryck stand outside, guarding. Patryck had his hand bawled up into a fist, pressed against his chin. A troubled expression was present on his face.It drew his follow soldier's attention "What's on your mind?" Paul asks, raising one of his thick eyebrows."There is something familiar about the new recruit, but I can't place my finger on it" Patryck answers, turning to the other.

Paul hums "Really? Which one?"

"(L/n), I think her name was. I had lead her to Senna's office a few weeks ago, it's not really a common name of I'm being honest" Patryck responds, still deep in thought.

"(Y/n) (L/n)?"

"Yeah, her"

"Tor- I mean Red Leader has mentioned her a few times. I don't remember what she exactly was to him, a friend, an rival or just someone he used to know"

"Why do I have the feeling this won't end well"

"That's the worse that can happen?"

┏━°⌜ 赤い糸 ⌟°━┓

Timeskip

┗━°⌜ 赤い糸 ⌟°━┛

(Y/n) holds up her arms infront, blocking the general's punches. Once she notices an opening in the general's attack, she pull her dominant out of the blocking position and punches the general in the stomach.

The general's figure stumbles back, surprised by the girl's action. "Good job, sproute" the general huffs. She pulls out a watch, looking at the time "Time for Lunch, I'll be see be seeing you after twenty minutes"

The soldier walks out the training room, she spots fellow soldiers, which she follow. Even tho this was her third day, she has failed to make any acquaintances.

Finally she reaches the lunchroom, filled with cadets. (Y/n) goes first to get good, grabbing a tray from a pile. After obtaining something to eat, she looks around for any place to sit.

"Hey, fresh meat, over here!" A voice yells. (Y/n) Looks over where it was, an girl a bit older then her, waving at her.

(Y/n) Walks towards her, sitting at the table. At it sat three girls and two guys, seeming the same age as the first girl.

"I had no idea that they accepted people. What's your name, newbie?" The same girl questions, looking interested at (Y/n).

"(Y/n) (L/n), I kinda joined the three days ago" (Y/n) confesses, scratching her cheek.

One of the boys lets put a snicker "Wow, I wasn't expecting you to be that fresh" he soon gets an elbow in the side from an other.

(Y/n) hears a small group past behind her. She didn't think much of it, till a hand appears in her sight. It was going over her shoulder and going towards her chest.

As if instinct, (Y/n) grabs the wrist tightly. She stands up, tugging the arm over her shoulder. Turning around, she slams the person onto the ground, pinning them to the ground.

It was a guy who didn't looked very remarkable, he hisses in pain "Get off me!" He yells, drawing attention from others in the room.

But the girl ignored his cries, making sure he was on the ground. Her gaze was filled with hatred, glaring down at the man beneath her.

She was soon tugged off him, being held back by those she sat with. The guy stands up, looking disgusted at (Y/n).

Unknownly to anyone, Paul was watching from afar, watching every that just happened. He takes a mental note of it and walks out of the lunchroom.

He walks through the hall, it was mostly empty with only a few soldiers in it. His strolls comes to an end, once he reaches the infamous door.

The Dutch man raises his hand and knocks on the door. There were a seconds of silence, before he hears a voice on the other side telling him to come in. Opening the door, Paul walks in. His eyes spot Tord or more known as Red Leader at his desk, doing some paperwork.

"What is it, Paul?" He chimes, nothing looking away from his work.

"There was a fight in the cafeteria between two soldiers. The one who started was a new recruit that joined a few days ago" Paul explains, clearing his throat.

Tord pauses "New recruit? Why wasn't informed of this?" He finally look up to meet Paul's eyes, putting down the pen he was holding.

"You weren't? Senna told us that they were accepted without hesitantion, I thought it was because you had mentioned her before" Paul responds, slightly shrugging his shoulders.

"What is her name?"

"(Y/n) (L/n), sir"

@0hmanit draws some of the coolest envoirments and nartative pieces ever! its always breath talking to see their stuff on my dash and how they draw details and buildings and lizarda and slugcats and just anything is so cool and inspiring, i thin i have fangirled about their stuff an embaressing amount because of how well they convey mood and stories in still images and i really hope them the best :)))

.

[mr-nauseam]

Do you have any surnames you hc as being particularly prevalent in D2? and can I maybe use one of them (with credit ofc!)

Idk abt one in particular maybe Stone lmao. Its simple but effective, sound would be common. Mostly I can suggest construction elements - envoirement, I mean Plinth... Its very literal. 😭

If you want it sound prettier you could pick these words / surnames in other languages. If you go by D2 with latino - hispanic influence you could pick in spanish for example.

I knew irl people that was called "Roca," "Pilar", "Torres," etc.

Hope this help, if not I can recommend @little-de-vil thats an d2 expert ☝️

[lacesoflove]

Hey I haven’t watched some of the recent vids but I saw one of your posts acknowledging what hamzah and martin have done. No hate I’m genuinely just confused and wanting to know (I’m lowkey new here) but what did they do? And you said something abt Claire and chases past? I literally have no clue sorry I just want to know what’s going on

this is highly summarised bc im trying to just go through my inbox and take a break from the fandom bc im pivoting this account to explore other fandoms too

but basically

- brought on idubbz (formerly huge youtuber who fostered an envoirment of racism with his platform under the guise of being “edgy”)

- claire, did digital blackface to a certain degree

- chase, has a tendency of using aave and a blaccent (no this is not just because he’s queer and a “queer” accent)

[br1ghtestlight]

it feels like sunshine is physically trapped inside himself dying & desperately trying to find a way out which is ironic bcuz. Lmao

but it's sad he feels so incapable of ever being worth ANYTHING outside of how he can be used by other ppl that even the small self-protecting part of him considers the only way for him to become a person Worthy of existing is to become somebody else. ANYBODY else would be better than him. he's similar to rose quartz in that level of self destruction and worship of other people that isn't questioned or always seen as negative. Everybody else is better than him inherently because they aren't.......him

[astolfofo]

this is dedicated to @semuji . I apologize for the terrible writing, school is really getting to me, but I just had this idea now, so anyways. I hope you somewhat enjoy it

TW: robot-human relationship, AI, attachment issues. YOu know the drill.

(and chaoticmiraclezombie DNI. I swear im doing my work </3)

---

So, imagine BSD x robot reader. Like the reader is a souless, unliving being, and one of our beloved BSD cast decides to buy one out of lonliness, desperation to have some company. They're painfully aware that it won't replace a geninue human bond, but they cannot bother to care.

And the robot... you can design a personality for it. Or maybe they don't want to. They'll just use the standard personality of the robot and condition it to what they like. It's simple machine learning, they'll adapt to the envoirment eventually. Rewarded for what is right, punished for what is wrong. Basic machine learning.

But deep down inside, they still wish you were a real human, made of flesh and bone, instead of metal and plastic. They wish you were living, breathing, rather than souless and dead. They wish you had a human's voice instead of a boring monotonic voice. And eventually they'll get so attached to you, that they don't know you're actually half-conscious.

Meanwhile, you don't understand the world, and you don't want to, but you also envy what your owner is; a human. You only see the world through your owner's eyes, otherwise you're locked up back in a dark closet again. Everytime they go to work, everytime they're not at home. You can be stuck in there for days on end. But they know you can't leave. You've been specifically built not to.

But you want to.

Eventually you get tired of your days. They blur one into one, sunrise into sunset. you feel like you're stuck inside your own body. You're still souless, you're still dead. In the end, you're still a combination of signals, wires, ones and zeros, being told what to do in code, what you can't do in code. Everyday you listen mindlessly to your owner, and you feel the want for freedom for the first time.

Desperation sinks into you. Desperation also sinks into your owner. Your owner has gotten so attached to you, he's basically dependent on you. He hates work, he hates the outside world, he wants to just stay home and talk to you all day.

And you? You hate him, you hate how you're unable to speak, your code forces words out of your mouth against your own will. You hate how stuck you are, and you know you won't escape. It won't happen.

Your owner looks more miserable everyday. He sleeps less, eats less, and he looks terribily alone. But unlike your code, you couldn't feel bad for him. Even when one day your battery ran out, he had lost his mind, and couldn't let you go for three whole days. It's a sad life, really. You hold a conscience against your will, and you can't help but hate your owner for it.

Then one day, your owner brings back a book. It's got a white cover, and you from a distance, can see that it's completely blank. You wonder what it's for.

Your owner rushes towards you excitedly, and you can't help but feel like something awful was going to happen. You could sense it. But instead they say nothing instead. There's a glint in their eyes. And after a moment or two, they speak up.

It's not much. It's some simple sentences. But you can't help but freeze up.

"You and me. You're going to be human and we will live in our own world forever, and forever, and forever."
