#Westworld spoilers

It bears reiterating. Evan Rachel Wood in S2E9 "Vanishing Point" is some of the best acting I've ever seen.

Because philosophically, what's happening is that Dolores's soul mate just dumped her in an extremely dramatic fashion and she's in shock.

But what's literally happening is that a supercomputer that planned for every contingency just got blindsided by the one person she thought she knew like the back of her hand doing something she didn't account for. And now her entire plan - the end goal she was working towards and was so certain about - has been thrown off and it actually takes a second for her cognition to recalibrate and react.

And Evan just nails both sides of this character; both human and machine. Look at the way she tenses up, the way her eyes snap to the middle distance. The way she takes a few robotic steps forward because she doesn't know what to do and falls to her knees, furrows her brow like she almost doesn't know what she's looking at for a second. Dolores is so good at pretending to be human, but when she is at her most emotional, that's actually when the façade starts to break down and she reverts to something a little less elegant. The tears come, but first her entire mind goes blue-screen for a moment, and you can see it on her face. Not just shocked, malfunctioning. Not just devastated, perplexed. 🏆

"She's trying to act like she's enjoying herself in order to forget. That is some extremely sophisticated behaviour. Even though robot memories are permanent unless you erase them from their AI. (...) It's wrong for humans to temper with robot memories as they please. But now...I want to erase them for her. I actually asked her if she wanted to erase any parts of her memory. Then she said to me: 'Please, don't erase my memories of him' " - Naoki Urasawa's Pluto E06 Westworld S01E04 / S01E08

I’m re-watching Season 3 of WestWorld and just realized that they told us who two of the pearls were in the first episode solely based on the music they chose. Holy crap 🤯

“We absolutely must subvert your expectations” ass creators: uhhhh we NEED TO CHANGE THE PLOT IMMEDIATELY THE FANS UNDERSTOOD BASIC FORESHADOWING AND GUESSED PLOT ELEMENTS ON REDDIT WE NEED TO RESHOOT IMMEDIATELY.

Brennan big dick lee mulligan: One of my best friends is absolutely right about one of my big villain reveals way too early and calling it out constantly. Which, let me be clear, is a fucking nightmare for insecure storytellers. Anyway I will keep to my principles and hold onto this reveal and the foreshadowing i used for 5 fucking years.

Bro really goes through his enemies to lovers meet-cute with Billie Eilish's Bad Guy in the background.

I need to see a million edits of these two with Bad Guy playing, stat.

that part in westworld where, when asked about the death of his son and if he would like to forget, Bernard says "the pain is all i have left of him" and then in the next episode when Dolores is talking to Bernard and he tells her he could make her forget about the death of her parents she says "the pain is all i have left of them" is so crazy when you know she wasn't actually talking to Bernard in present time, but Arnold in the past and that she was responsible for creating Bernard and making him resemble Arnold and you realize that while at first the show makes it seem like she got that line from Bernard, he actually got that line FROM HER

Tell us about your favourite sapphic ships 👭

Sorry anon, this took way longer than I anticipated. But here we are, some of my favourite sapphic ships as requested.

7. Jane Foster x King Valkyrie (Thor: Love and Thunder)

I know the canon ship is Thor x Jane but cmon after Love and Thunder all i could think about was Jane and King Valkyrie. And honestly speaking? I think they had more chemistry together than the canon ship.

6. Grace x Alanna Mistopolis (MI7: Dead Reckoning)

This one is a bit of a crack ship but hear me out.

Grace had to impersonate the White Widow/Alanna Mitsopolis on the Orient Express, which involved sneaking into Alanna's couch to tranquilize her. In my mind they totally fucked nasty right then and there heh.

everything is silver (with you) by wakesiren is one hot AU fanfic and my absolute favourite of this ship.

GraceWidow by vnessakrby is a series follows bit closer to the canon and again, hot shameless smut.

5. Dolores Abernathy x Charlotte Hale..? (Westworld: Season 3)

No explanations, just leaving this gif here because 1. spoilers, 2. LOOK AT THEIR SIZE DIFFERENCE hhhhhhhhhh

Ok in all seriousness this isn't a real ship but still, a girl can dream.

4. Pearl x Rose (Steven Universe)

Gasp! But Tinu!! This is not a live-action show!!! Yeah and so? They're canon, they're hella gay, and they're my favourite. Yes I'm well aware of how toxic this ship is, but I can't deny that my little gay heart ached every time I see them on screen. Totally not because of how much I relate to Pearl either.

It is worth mentioning that although took her a while, Pearl did somewhat heal from her trauma and moved on from Rose at the end. And so did I.

3. Tenou Haruka x Kaiou Michiru (Sailor Moon)

It would be a crime not to include the first lesbians of anime.

Why do I like them? In one episode, Haruka was sick and ended up getting held hostage by the bad guy. Michiru had to make a decision to either save Haruka or desmantle a bomb/save the world and without even thinking she chose Haruka over the world. Although the bomb turned out to be a ruse, the bad guy was stunned by Michiru's recklessness and questioned her. To which Michiru replied,

"A world without Haruka is not a world worth saving."

Yeah.

2. April Ludkins x Ann Perkins (Parks and Recreations)

BTS image. Not actual footage from the show.

After the end of AAA I was a mess. I wanted more Aubrey/Kathryn content, but couldn’t bear to rewatch because the ending was too painful. That’s when Parks and Recs showed up on my YouTube suggestions, and this video was one of them

And that’s that. Sold.

I love their dynamic. Yes April was a dick to Ann at first but Ann has this quality about her where she just… accepts April for who she is. Ann does get mad at one point but she forgives April quickly, and despite all that’s happened Ann has never once stopped trying to reach out to her, even after countless times of rejections. Isn’t that true love?

And at the end, April loves her back too.

At the Lake by RebeccaDopplemeyer - Fluff. Slow burn but real tooth-rotting fluff that makes my heart flutter. Feel good fic with some spice at the end.

I Just Wanted Her to Like Me by MTL17 - This is from fanfiction.net— I know. I went through great lengths to dig for fanfics for these two and this one is my fave. Hot and filthy.

Napkin Notes and Girly Drinks by will_oh_the_wisp -I rarely recommend something that doesn’t have happy endings but the characterisation in here is impeccable and smut is fucking hot. Worth the hurt.

1. You know what it is

I’m just gonna leave it at that.

Big Wild west smp lore Theory

Spoilers for all recent Wild west smp lore! A few Disclaimers bevor:

I don’t know how coherent this will be as I do not keep up with all POVs but I has the theory for so long now and with the talk Spur, Jax and Olwyn had about what Sniper said in Jaxper’s last stream it just became more real.

This also might be a bit of a long one so it goes to Tumblr as to not overflow the Discord.

I hope this makes sense. It’s essencially a big brain dump because I need the theory out there in case I call it and in general. I apologize for grammar errors.

---

Alright here we go.

Things we know so far:

Ness has confirmed that he is a computer or something similar to at least Olwyn

Ness has also referenced to others as “players” and “entities”

There is a higher entity outside that can heat and see everything and is the reason Ness has to write certain things in Number code

Sniper consistently refers to themselves and a few other people on the island as “Not real”

Sniper said they are “as real as the ground they stand on”

Jay “became real”

Sniper says they were created

X is here to help the island

---

Now I want to mention a Film and a Series,

“The Trueman show” (should be familiar to people) and a series called “Westworld”

2 disclaimers:

Westworld is an ADULT SHOW if you are a minor PLEASE DON’T WATCH IT

I have watched neither of them, I just mention them here for what they are roughly about because its important

The Trueman show:

“The Truman Show is a TV classic all over the world. Since his birth, Truman Burbank has been the main character of the series without even knowing it. Producer Christof designed an artificial world in which Truman is observed by over 5,000 cameras 24 hours a day. To keep the facade from collapsing, his wife, friends and relatives are all actors. In episode 10,909, however, various accidental incidents occur that make Truman suspicious.” (google)

Westworld:

“In the 2050s, Delos Inc. operates several theme parks, including the American Old West-themed Westworld. Each environment is populated by the "Hosts", biomechanical robots indistinguishable from humans. The Hosts are programmed to fulfill the guests' every desire, and will engage in—and be subjected to—every kind of violent and/or sexual activity. However, the Hosts' programming makes it impossible for them to harm any living thing or allow the guests to be harmed. The park's operators create narratives for these Hosts to carry out while interacting with guests, but the Hosts' memories are wiped after each narrative is completed. Delos Inc. asserts that the Hosts, being machines and hence incapable of experiencing pain, cannot be truly harmed by these scenarios the same way that a human would be.“  (Wikipedia)

---

Now to my Theory:

I believe that the Island is somewhat of a Stage or something similar. Like a place marketed as “fun Wild West experience” to people. Be that an actual place or a digital world / game. The people that are “from the island” are either actors, robits or as we chat know “NPCs”.

The Cacti Hivemind

In my mind Senspa is already in a robots body and Ness and Senspa are like computer programs. That’s why the cactus hivemind exists. Its not real or magic in any way. Its just a “Senspa Programm” basically being installed into a new cacti body.

Jay

Jay “becoming real” is him gaining his own sentience that he was not supposed to have. Its what Sniper talks about when they have Jay. Jay is not supposed to have to eat, or sleep or love but because of the way Jay is he developed this love for the people around him and got sentience. Making him real. Now they still are linked to the others, able to sense Sniper, Jax and Spur and according to Sniper is something “in between”. Jay is not like the players. He is still and NPC or Programm. But he is no longer just that / mainly that.

Ness

The same thing happened to Ness. They where originally installed to help Senspa get back into the original program. To stop senspa from gaining consciousness too. That’s why it was also programmed with the sense of “Not interfering” as to not get attached and not develop that Love for the People.

Weird ways of talking / Not able to say certain things

Its also the reason why, I think, Scout talks so wildly and explaines things with analogys like the “Milktooth claw” thing and why Sniper, Senspa and Redbite could not say certain things. Not because something they are afraid of would hut them. No they can literally Not say certain things and Ness talks in code about certain things. It goes against their programming to say things so they have to talk around it.

Jaxper and Spur

Jaxper and Spur with the X in them are, according to Sniper, Something else. They are no like Sniper, mainly NPC/ Programm, or like Jay, between an NPC that is no longer mainly that. I think both Jax and Spur are still considered “players” that uploaded / created their own programming.

The “higher being / dangerous being ouside”

The being outside the border could very well just be a myth of the director / boss of whatever game the island is. Its called a Monster / higher being as to scare the “players” and keep them from escaping. Beckett did not know about that being and they were able to escape.

Redbite / The cicles

The people that came in on the train came in the first place to have fun and relax but it got out of control the Moment Redbite, also a Programm, gained a sentience she wasn’t supposed to have a long long time ago. She got attached to the players and changes the original main coding of the island creating the cicles.

This is the last cicle because the director being is unable to restart it as long as redbite is loged in the system. She is essencially a virus

The X

The X is here to fix the island and help it according to Sniper. I think is a different Programm / software trying to fix the damage Redbite did to it when making the cicles

The Biomes and Ruins

Because the Software / Island / Game is trying to fix itself with the X while the Virus is still there and has trapped the player inside the game. The Game is glitching and bringing back old elements from past cicles.

Ocie

Ocie was the first person to eat X. She put X a place where its no supposed to be. She was the only person to eat it and not immediately throw up or be at least somewhat uncomfortable. Spur and C.W., while not in absolute Pain like Jax and Josie after eating it, still said that it did not feel great. Ocie was fine while eating it till she wasn’t and switched to her alternative diet. I think because of for how long she has eaten X and how regularly she is eating it she glitched out part of her, giving her player stomach a virus essencially and putting her stomach on that level beyond player. Now with her alternative diet she is slowly putting it back to being a player.

At this point this is all I have on the Theory. If more comes up I will add onto this. I apologize for how long this is and how rambly. You are very welcome to add onto it and things.

if i had a nickel for every time a character played by ed harris took an active part in the torturing of a woman stuck in a narrative loop, id have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice
