#Simulacra Pipe Dreams

[grey-birdy]

I didn’t particularly like Simulacra: Pipe Dreams, but I’m not leaving it unnoticed! That's why I drew a humanization (???, I don't know how to name it correctly) of this Simulacra!

[gingersmidge]

Simulacra is such a gem to me

Here’s some screenshots that I found funny from simulacra pipe dreams

Simulacra(1, 2, PD) Incorrect Quotes Part 2

These mainly take as if it was somewhat the Content AU(their nicknames, genders, and other) and mixed slightly with canon, depending on the quote. I may do art of them at some point, feel free to do art of them yourself though, if you want, just tag me since I'd want to see it. For context: -The first Simulacra(from Simulacra 1) is nicknamed Phoney. -The second Simulacra(from Simulacra 2) is nicknamed Ripple Man, obv. -The Pipe Dreams Simulacra is nicknamed Flappee. -The MC from the first game is labeled MC 1, MC from the second game being labeled as MC 2. -The MC from Pipe Dreams is labeled MC PD.

Flappee: I woke up and chose VIOLENCE. I WILL COMMIT ARSON AND BURN EVERYTHING TO THE GROUND!!! I AM ANGRY- Teddy: Awwww, you’re so adorable! Give me a hug~ Flappee: Wh-What? nO, yOURE SUPPOSED TO BE SCARED OF ME! TREMBLE BEFORE MY WRATH- MC PD, recording: This is so cute.

Flappee: I dare you to kiss the next person who walks into this room. Teddy: Screw that, I’m not kissing any of you. MC PD walks in Teddy: Fine, I’ll do it. Rules are rules you know.

the Squad cleaning up MC PD: Pick up the nearest piece of trash and throw it away. Flappee, to Teddy: Aight, which bin do you wanna go in—

Arya: Imagine if someone handed you a box full of all the things you lost throughout your life. Rippleman: It would be nice to have my sense of purpose back… Rex: Oh wow, my childhood innocence! Thank you for finding this. Mina: My will to live! I haven't seen this in years. MC 2: I knew I lost that potential somewhere. Maya: Mental stability, my old friend! Arya: Jesus, could you guys lighten up a little?

Mina: Who the fuck added me to a fucking group chat? Maya: >:O language Rippleman: Yeah watch your fucking language Rex: Okay, who taught Rippleman the fuck word?! Arya: 'The fuck word'. MC 2: Are you stupid? You guys use the f word all the time Rippleman: Oh my god they censored it Arya: Say fuck, MC 2. Rippleman: Do it, MC 2. Say fuck.

Arya: Who else is hiding in the laundry room trying to listen to MC 2 and Maya's convo? Mina: Me. I'm in the laundry basket. Rippleman: I'm in the washing machine. Rex: I'm in the closet. Mina: We accept you Rex. <3 Rex: No I'm literally in the closet. Mina: Love is love. <3

Arya: She was poetry, but he couldn't read. MC 2: His name was Jared he's 19. Mina: When his parents built a very strange machine. Rippleman, singing: Watch that scene, digging the dancing queen. Maya, singing: Eyyyy, Macarena! Rex: Horrible job everyone.

Murilo, to Rippleman: Why is MC 2 not talking? Rippleman: I'm playing the silent game with them. Murilo: Well, then you just lost. Rippleman: I lost two hours ago. I gave them ear plugs and told them to close their eyes. It was the only way I could think of to get them to shut up.

MC 2: Why's it called an oven when you of in the cold food and you of out hot eat the food? Murilo: …What???

MC 2: I don’t think we can mansplain, manipulate, or malewife our way out of it this time. Murilo: cracks knuckles Manslaughter it is!

MC PD: I think MC 2 is in trouble. MC 1: Alright. Struggling to give a fuck, if I’m honest.

Rippleman: Hey bro, what do you want to eat? Phoney: The souls of the innocent! Flappee: A bagel. Phoney: No! Flappee: Two bagels.

Flappee: It’s impossible to make a sentence without using the letter A. Phoney: Despite your thinking, it is quite possible, yet difficult, to form one without the specific letter. Here’s one more to further disprove your theory. Rippleman: Fuck you.

Rippleman: Now, Flappee, all of us are doing this because we care about you, okay? Phoney: Except for me. I just wanted to see the look on your face.

Rippleman: Where is everyone? Flappee: Phoney had a nervous collapse, MC 2 is looking after them, MC 1 is trying to kill MC PD, so I’m in charge. Rippleman: Oh my god! Flappee: I know, right?

MC 1: Man, they look like a real handful. How do you deal with them? Phoney, watching Flappee screaming, Rippleman trying to set a sleeping MC PD on fire, and MC 2 choking on air: I don't know either.

Taylor: When Phoney was born, the gods said, "They're too perfect for this world." Anna: Please. When they were born, the devil said, "Oh, competition."

Anna: Hey, check out my Spongebob umbrella! Anna opens their umbrella while indoors Taylor: Anna, that’s bad luck… Anna: Chill out, Taylor! Phoney, kicking down the door: WHO SUMMONED ME?!?! Anna and Taylor: screams

Anna: How do you do that? Taylor: I'm fearless. Phoney: I saw you run from bees yesterday. You flailed around and tripped over a chair. It was both hysterical and sad. Taylor: I'm mostly fearless.

Mina: What do rainbows mean to you? Arya: Gay rights. Rippleman: There's money. Murilo: The sign of God's promise to never destroy the whole Earth with a flood. Rex: It is an optical phenomenon that separates sunlight into its continuous spectrum when the sun shines on raindrops.

Murilo: Anyone d- Arya: Depressed? Rex: Drained? Mina: Dumb? Rippleman: Disliked? Murilo: -done with their work… what is wrong with you people…

[pharrell-the-formation]

I want to share a small hypothesis about the world of Simulacra. I have to clarify that I haven't played the third game yet, and got only a couple of endings in the second one, because I can't stand this part. Perhaps somewhere there are direct explicit denials of the following, then take it just as another AU of mine.

So the thought is: what if the characters in these games are living in a simulation?

Let me explain my train of thought. None of the games give us more information about simulacrums than the fact that they are some powerful creatures that love to play around with human destinies. And their most important distinguishing feature is that they are all tightly tied to different kind of technologies. Then the question arises: did they exist before technology? Given HOW MUCH exactly this feature plays a role in the plots of games, I doubt it. However, it means that they were also created by people, which contradicts the fact that only a few units of the population know about them, and then only the very grains. Even the verified methods of destroying creatures do not exist, except for one of the positive ending of the second part, invented in the process.

The only significant thing that the creators gave us on this topic is an article from the second game. It says that the influencer awakened the beast simply by becoming popular. It didn't look like he had summoned a demon with a ritual, it was more like some being was just showing an interest in him. In addition, Charlie himself spoke of this creature as a Deity. And this, after all, correlates with past information - they have repeatedly proved in words and in deeds that in terms of abilities they are MUCH superior to people.

What I try to say is that one of the variations of the theory about our world as a matrix implies that there is a certain superior race that controls this matrix and we are a human zoo for it or something like that. In my version, simulacrum creatures actually are some kind of higher organisms and the world of characters for them is like a fancy board game with a ton of figurines laid out in front of their metaphorical noses. They lived quietly for themselves, and then something took place that irritated them and they began to abuse their little animals in various twisted ways.

Therefore, they do not have a full-fledged physical appearance and communicate only via messages in instant messengers or through human carriers. They are with people on different levels of reality, like pen pals from different cities, with the only difference being that one can kill another using only its will. Therefore, Taylor's consciousness was captured in seconds despite the distance. Therefore, in the bad ending, Teddy can be DELETED from the world. Therefore, Maya saw technical interference in reality, around her.

And you, as a player, are immersed in the shoes of just such a non-playable character, a faceless member of the crowd, who must find a way to agree with someone, who is actually playing here.

just saying, SPIDER WEB by melanie martinez would be great for a Simulacra animation

[wanderingonamoonlitnight]

I'd highly recommend these games. Great series!

Simulacra, I cannot recommend that game enough to people. It's a cellphone horror series and number three dropped late last year, and HOLYSHIT I'm enamored. There's three games: Simulacra one places you as the protagonist that just found a phone at their front door, and digging through it reveals it belonged to someone named Anna. You have to find her. There are about six ending of I recall correctly. Simulacra Two gives you the choice of being a junior detective or a tabloid news reporter that gets dragged into a murder mystery case where a phone is the only evidence you have and you have to restore and unlock its secrets to solve the case. There are a multitude of ending to unlock, and the way it runs resembles that of a skill tree. Simulacra Three is my favorite; you play as a reporter for the Stonecreek news, I forgot the name, and you have been given a phone to trifle and unlock with the unique coding a man named Paul placed on it. You have to find out what happened to him and the victims of various disappearances. Trigger warnings for a lot of these of course, flashing lights, heavy topics, the works. It's a very well made franchise though, and you can feel the tender care the dev team put into it. I even made one of my favorite wip artwork based on Simulacra 3.

:0 I’LL DEFINITELY HAVE TO CHECK THIS OUT!! sounds like my kinda game. tysm for the rec! 🫶

[sillysmileyfacee]

Guys i found this game called Flapee Bird! It’s kinda weird- not just cause of the pissing bird- but also it’s like telling me to buy eggs every two seconds lol. Tons of ads too. Still super fun tho- kind of addicting.. but super fun. I swear hours have passed. It’s a real time waster.

Silly lil ramble about my silly lil simulacra story

First game protag is named Toby/Tobias, no that's not a reference to Anna's cat, it's an inside joke

Second game protag is named Raven. Why? Because, she's a goth chick who's a journalist and I love her.

Pipe dreams protag is named Finny, is it short for Finnegan?...idk

Third game protag is named Leigh, newbie journalist that does more than is required and takes their job too seriously.

Story is Finny reaches out to Toby after the events of pipe dreams (and a few months after the first game) when he hears Toby has some experience with phone glitches

And tobys like: how did you get my number? Who tf are you??? Get out of my house!?

But after some explaining Toby is like: oh yeah that's a simulacrums alright.

They both share their experiences with simulacrums

Toby knowing more about them because of the convo at the end of the game and more research on his side of things

And Finny knowing little to nothing about them at all because of the vagueness of it all

(also Toby knows gate 31 and finny hasn't put the pieces together yet)

During their text conversation is when Raven is conducting her investigation for the case, at this time Raven is texting herself notes about the case In case she loses her note pad.

Toby and finny are growing closer just randomly talking and sharing memes (including rex's music video)

It is good to mention that finny and Toby have never met IRL and while finny goes by his IRL name Toby does not and goes by Fan_Man or just Fan

That's all I really have so far, if people are interested I might add more to it

[telltalebatman]

simulacra 3 is so fucking ass i went straight for the worst ending before uninstalling

[syxnewt]

in simulacra pipe dreams the simulacra says "You're going to be full of beans! After you're done...." which is probably a British saying but it's absolute nonsense to me. She says it so threateningly but it literally sounds like nothing

Simulacra Headcanons + Simulacra AU headcanons

(Be prepared, as some headcanons will conflict with each other since I believe in multiple possibilities for the things in these games. Not to mention, the AU I want to mention is more of a "for fun" AU-type thing that's mainly made for possible content such as videos and what not, you'll see what I mean.) Simulacra Headcanons: -The Simulacra in the first game is the same as the other two shown simulacra, which is funny to me because that mean that thing can now be known as possibly genderfluid. -The Simulacra in the first game is not one of the other Simulacras, possibly both, and that there are possibly way more somehow. -The Simulacra in Pipe Dreams is somehow based on either Maya or Ashley, possibly both. -The MC in the first game is female, partly female(She/he, Demigirl, ect.), or was a female(ftm, non-binary, ect.) -The MC in Pipe Dreams is a male. -The MC in the third game is either male, non-binary, or a Demiboy(He/they) -The MC from the first game could have possibly been the one to tip off Murilo after their encounter with the simulacra. -Taylor(if an ending where he's alive is canon) and the MC from the first game totally keeps in touch. -Anna(if an ending where she's alive is canon) and the MC are sort of semi-friends but only through Taylor(only possible if they're both alive). -Anna and Ashley totally got at least one date in, even if they didn't last as a couple, they totally went somewhere for a date. -Taylor(if he's alive) and Ashley(if Anna is alive) get along as friends sort of, Ashley going along with his humor and singing whenever she's drunk. -Teddy def had feelings for the Pipe Dream's MC at least once in his life. Simulacra YT/Tumblr Content AU Headcanons: -The three Simulacras mess with the 3 main characters, 2/3 of them do it for fun. -The three Simulacras are their own beings. -The Pipe Dreams Simulacra(will refer to her as PD, Gamey, or Flappee) is def more energetic than her "co-workers", upbeat, cheery, though can act sort of overdramatic and annoying at times. -The 1st Simulacra(will refer to him as Phoney, Pretender, or Spark) totally is not in tune with his "co-workers" and finds them somewhat overly goofy and annoying. -The Ripple Man's personality changes between Maya's, Rex's, Mina's, and Arya's. -Phoney goes by he/him/it, Flappee goes by she/her/it, and Ripple Man goes by they/them/it. -Flappee flirts with both the Pipe Dreams MC and Phoney to annoy both of them. -Ripple Man isn't goofy like Flappee but just follows along with her bs because they can. -Phoney will for real just rather sit and somehow drink coffee with the first game's MC if it means not having to deal with Ripple Man and Flappee. -If Flappee and Taylor met, she'd date him. Not for love, just for fun, to mess with him, and bonus it may make it easier to convince him to play her game. -Phoney is AroAce, Flappee is Pansexual-Aromantic, and Ripple Man is Asexual-Biromantic. -Ripple Man is both great at conversations, introductions, making social plans, but is somehow ultimately also socially awkward. -If she could drink, Flappee would become an energetic crazywoman/child if she drank coffee or anything with high caffeine. -If he could drink, coffee would be Phoney's breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner. It could even be counted as his alcohol. -If they could drink, Ripple Man would use coffee in place of tea so they can have a reason to set up "tea(coffee) parties" and just to use as a way to invite people to hang for a bit. -Phoney is great when it comes to love advice, just has no reason to share that to anyone and barely tries it himself.

big simulacra spoilers under the cut

Ok, so we know Simulacra is very much about people not being what they seem and critiquing the internet...

...But could we talk about how it's also about everyone deserving a second chance no matter what? Cuz I don't ever see people talking about that.

In the first simulacra game, Taylor is a registered sex offender. And while only you can choose to believe whether it is true or not, the game makes you see that Taylor deserves a second chance at living as much as Anna does.

In Simulacra Pipe Dreams, you can see how your friend [I FORGOT HIS NAME I'M SORRY] has his struggles with addiction, and throughout the entire game you are made to try and save someone who before you never even knew.

And oh boy, Simulacra 2. Let's get a rundown on that!

There is the detective, who has stolen shit just to give the case a second chance [You see what I did there?] at a real resolution, who is then given a second chance by the department in the middle of the game after they find out, and you want to make sure this man's second chance goes well because you know him.

There's Rex, who literally has a pyramid scheme and knew what he was doing was completely wrong.

There's Mina, who lied about seeing ""her best friend"" die in a car crash. And there is also the whole "selling trauma" thing.

There is Arya too, who faked being an ambassador for Aluren. I'm 99% sure there's more than that but unfortunately my memory is trash and I'm going off the wiki which is quite bare bones.

But, in the end, the three above friends of Maya aren't just heartless people. You see how much they cared for Maya, whether it's them saying it themselves or through the actions you can see. In fact, them all blaming each other for her death probably is mostly because they actually cared.

In the end, literally the best ending is to save them all. You are still made to want to save them, no matter how awful the people may be.

Also, TRM and the ripple man literally both are proposing second chances to people. A second chance at popularity, a second chance at a better reality, do you see where I am coming from with the claim that this entire series is about second chances?

I may be wrong, and Simulacra 3 will come unto my world and shatter that idea. But from where I see, the biggest things about this story is the worst of humanity, but also the best of it still being in there, and the only steps one can take being the next.
