God I love yuuken he's my fave character and i need to start making content for him cause I am his only fan

[cephydeluxe]

sometimes, I convince myself that my taste in romance in media is """sophisticated""" and """complex""", but then I remember that I am, in fact, a single celled organism and my only real qualifier for a good romance is if they can do the reze kiss

Hi! Normally, I don’t like interacting with anyone but I wanted to tell you that you are one of my all-time favorite writers on here. I thoroughly enjoy your content, and you’re one of the best SVT writers. Thank you for taking time to share your creativity and writing on this app. I love being able to open this app and see your works. I always go back to read them. Thank you again❤️

this is honestly one of the sweetest messages i've ever gotten, thank you so, so much (☍﹏⁰)｡ i only started writing for kpop this year so T_T i'm also not the very best at interacting, but please never hesitate to reach out~ 💙 i hope you have a great day!!!

do u have any specific ideas on how the membrane like..knows to clone? is it instinct or was it told?

YES I have quite a bit of an idea actually. It's a bit of both, i'd say! (thank you so much for asking me oc lore questions btwwwww <3)

Base black is a really weird and unique substance. In living things it acts as the sortof semicorporeal "spirit glue" that attaches your incorporeal soul to your corporeal body. It's ability to attach to ever-changing matter like that is why it's used in manufacturing/cloning. Now, as a human, your memories are stored in some kinda physical way in your brain. Your soul will also carry a sortof 'spiritual' memory of yourself (a la ghosts or something) AND, your base black has it's own kind of memory. hard to describe but I guess but it's like. a spiritual memory of being physical. It remembers EVERY version of yourself you have ever been. THIS form of memory is critical for cloning.

By feeding the membrane a live sample from a human (blood) it will attach to that living thing and try to "remember" what (and who!) it is/was. This is kinda the instinct part. Base black likes to be attached to things that are alive, or else it will decay. it WILL attach to that sample. so you can kinda "tell" it to clone by using that "instinct"... additionally base black has a certain "saturation" i guess? a human body has however much base black it needs for it's size. so when you submit a little blood sample to a full-size membrane, it wants moooooore it needs more Stuff. so, utilizing the process of it 'remembering' being the person the sample is from, you can kinda manipulate it to grow into something. (the machine i had designed before (Delphi model) has a larger than standard base black membrane size because it was made for making human faxes, which would often be full sized adults. machines made Just for cloning have much smaller membranes, since clones are made as babies)

base black manufacturing for non-living stuff works similarly, but you have to try and make the membrane remember being in the form of something that wasn't alive. you kinda have to train it? this means you can't use cloning machines for anything but cloning (unless you retrain it heavily), as they want to be made of people, and vice versa. they remember being in that form over n over...

But this leads me to something I've been wanting to talk about for a while: "unsolicited ejections" (called UEs). to make a new clone you need to purge the base black membrane of previous physical contaminants (reset it to nothing, essentially), but you don't need to completely purge the feeder reservoir. this is because once the membrane accepts the sample, becomes part of that thing, it'll want to be that thing even if you supply it with stuff that may have some other DNA contaminant. (this is actually why getting possessed can be soooo dangerous. it'll Change You. but that's a whole other long textpost). now. this means sometimes even though you don't "tell" the membrane to make a clone, it may still try sooo hard. even if it has no sample, it just remembers Making. UEs almost never result in actual living clones...more so just contaminated meat mess. BUT. they can! this is actually why there's so many Maverick clones. the Delphi-4 Human Facsimile Machine has been contaminated with "Maverick" for decades. and no one can figure out how to fix it. Foster is a UE. Maverick (Delphine) is one, kinda. isn't it amazing that even with cloning you can have accident children...

but also im unsure if i've ever mentioned: this cloning process does not work every time. it actually fails most of the time! making something with the right shape and DNA isn't too hard, but the getting it alive (conscious, human) part is tricky (this is why UEs don't tend to result in proper clones). cloning something usually involves soliciting the machine to try over and over and over and over until you get something conscious. but because this cloning process involves moving physical matter into the right shape as opposed to growing it in a wholly natural manner, you can basically recycle the old stuff until it becomes alive stuff lol.
