I will always prefer the analog aesthetic to the smooth iPod future that hollywood won't let go of

>"body horror transformation because you trusted a glowing green liquid to solve your problems"

did you mean: everything my protagonist Ismene ever dreamed of? Only we get to experience the mental end of it, mostly. The physical aspect is d̴j̴̡̛̗̮͙̚ģ̴̬͍̏̍ ̸z̷g̸q̴r̷ ̶d̶̷̟̈ å̶̹̰̃̿e̸f̶u̶

(Spoilers. but there is a glowing green pool. It's on the cover! :D It does... solve... things. And my point is: Yes. Light horror, but yess. I wrote precisely because I wanted a story where there was spooky eldritch technomagic, and it was dangerous and wonderful, and the female protagonist needed no saving from it.)

Just thought to myself "can't women have a bad time in fiction without rape being involved" which really shows you how much you're in the fucking trenches if you are both a horror fan and women fan

if you are a writer who overthinks diction splitting hairs whether sapience implies your big-dicked orc oc has internalized speciesism or is too etymologically tied to we Homo sapiens sapiens to apply to interdimensional grey blobs who do not experience linear time

Sophont is intelligence and metacognition equal or greater to humans. It’s been used by nerds since the 70s. Made it into the Oxford Dictionary in the 2000s.

Now you may go in peace, freed from the burden of wondering what would count as a microaggression in a utopian intergalactic society.

i am on my knees tears running down my face knuckles raw and bleeding and BEGGING people to learn the difference between sentient and sapient

(Here's a couple of my favorite panels.)

I’ll add that the Orokin are a fusion of ‘making them make themselves look Weird’ and ‘Pseudo-Religious group making the upper classes look Divine’. Seriously, they look Weird, in a cool way. Like this.

Most normal looking one is Albrecht and he has Golden Fingernails and very lightly blue tinged skin! (Should also add this is after him getting his skin replaced due to it being burned off)

Also a snazzy coat and eyeliner. And a weird Cat. Slay.

Imagine how societies with augmentation would differ aesthetically from eachother. Like, you'd have basically full control over what humanity looks like. If you went to diffrent planets in a future with augmentation, every human civilization would differ in human appearance the same way architecture differs from place to place.

A civilization that actively leans in to the fact that that their augmentations dehumanize them. Looking like insects or reptiles more then the do people when they're fully upgraded.

A utilitarian brutalist civilization where mechanical upgrades are just stuck into most people without caring how it'll make them look, where beauty has fully become a class privilege.

A somewhat feudalist or religious society who try to make everyone fit their hyper athletic beauty standards. More heavily upgraded people look almost like angels.

A super wealthy trade empire where people put precious metals and jewels on their mechanical parts and sculpt everything to be as extravagant as possible.

Is this anything? If you have any other ideas for societies like this please reblog with them?
