this might be the year i revisit my mea stuff
maybe
idk could just be the coffee talking
i had started going all again shortly before cp77 just took over my ENTIRE EXISTENCE and i do still have such a fondness for one dr harry carlyle
i love my ryder, too, although i think i'd have to age her up even more to get back in that headspace. iirc, i made her 25 instead of 22, but as of this april i feel like i can officially say I'm very much pushing 40 and I'm good to leave the 20-something experiences far behind lmao
and i was taking some pretty cool shots using the basic features of ansel and having no idea what i was otherwise doing. it'd be fun to revisit ~*virtual photography*~ in another game. i don't think anything is gonna come close to vp in cp77 tbh but mea is a very pretty game with very pretty characters uwu

silly idea time
idk how this idea even started but the outfit i had in mind was way back from a doodle in 2021 or 2022, basically my 'what if' for temperance ending only instead of being wildly ooc and wearing a collared button up johnny becomes a cowboy. and because i was listening to vagrant song from wtwtlw (that whole ost really, and hardspace shipbreaker) i had the bright idea that johnny would finally become what his class in the ttrpg was an homage to and wander around collecting stories n telling them n kind of being a dead man walking/ghost story/witness/helper-bard r smthn but having been extremely tempered by the experience of v choosing to die for him, being shocked enough into actually thinking about his beleifs n what have you, humbled enough now to want to listen to others hed choose this path of wandering the continent of na, maybe for the first time in a long time actually taking in life around him yadda yadda. in my little scenario i also had it that even if/when the next corpo war broke out or the nusa annexed more free states, he wouldnt get involved like he used to, cause i think its interesting to muse on how a profound experience would greatly change someone so stuck in their ways like johnny. i think hed still be motivated by guilt and avoidance at first, but it would evolve into something more like a calling/altruism as he takes more seriously and uses more intentionally the time he was given as a dead man walking
also i realize how much of this 'outfit' is just putting v in a hat and calling them johnny like its some perry the platypus thing (also idk how to draw hats)

How it would be like to be in a relationship with them (Cyberpunk 2077 Characters)
Characters included: Judy Álvarez, Young!Viktor Vektor, Muamar Reyes, Misty Olszewski
Reader: fem. reader for Judy, otherwise no pronouns mentioned :)
Tumblr media
Judy Álvarez (fem. reader)
-Judy is a really REALLY good girlfriend
-literally the best romance option in the game
-she was probably a bit nervous to actually tell you she had feelings for you, because of her last relationships/crushes
-but after you assured her that you indeed loved her back she was over the moon!!
-date nights include going to her lake house and having a good time
-she wouldn't care for "fancy" dates, just you and her sitting on the roof of a house and just talking for hours
-she'd also invite you to go diving with her to show you her old hometown ("I'm picky about my girls" JAZGHDZABJSIGIB)
-Judy loves gifting you stuff and hanging out with you!
-she would gift you a BD she made of her favorite moments together (probably copied it too, because she also wanted to look at it
-she's a messy girl, won't put anything where it belongs
-but she's not lazy, she'll clean eventually (probably)
-she's the big spoon
Tumblr media
Young!Viktor Vektor (gn reader)
-you first met him when you went to watch a boxing competition
-then you saw that GORGEOUS boxer with ENORMOUS talent
-he won the fight (pretty easily, even tho he doesn't even have any chrome)
-you went over to congratulate him and he was super friendly
-of course you went to his next competition, and to the one after that, and so on
-it got so bad (or good) that Vik was even expecting you
-he began to look forward to seeing you in the crowd
-it even felt like he was fighting just for your entertainment
-at some point he just asked you out, it was obvious you'd say yes
-you went on a few dates and eventually got together
-anyone from miles away could tell he was down BAD
-when he eventually got second place on one of his competitions he found the courage to tell you he'd stop boxing
-you were fine with it of course, it's his life after all
(Ripperdoc husband is better anyways lol)
Tumblr media
Muamar Reyes (gn reader)
-let's be real, you were one of many
-he is a FINE man, had a lot of money and he was one of NC's well known fixers
-what more could a person want?
-he really thought he wasn't the one to settle down, until you entered his life
-normaly you wouldv'e just been another merc
-but there was something about you..
-he probably confessed to you, and you returned his feelings
-after you started dating you guys spent more and more time together
-you watching him fix cars, driving around NC or just chilling together at his place
-he's a cocky bastard, so you would have a few arguments over little simple things, but you would eventually forgive him because he's just an sarcastic ass most of the time
-but when you both are overlooking Santo Domingo, without anyone disturbing you two he'd eventually talk about his feelings and how much he loves you
-also he would tell you about his life growing up in Santo, becoming a corpo and then eventually turning into his now-self
-he also would like to have kids at some point, but if you don't want any he's also okay with that (he'd also be fine with adopting)
Tumblr media
Misty Olszewski (gn reader)
-she's a super sweet girl!!
-she met you months after Jackies death
-Misty never would have thought she'd get over what happened to him
-but there you were, listening to her problems and taking things slowly
-so after a while, you two fell in love
-you guys could talk for hours on end about the most random things
-also random tarot-board dates and doing silly stuff!
-she'd also read your futures and would teach you to read hers
-she's SUCH an artsy girl (trust me)
-you two would upsycle thrifted chlothes and do random Trends, like the one where you make bracelets based on the others eye color or the Trend where you paint eachother
-she has a thing for plants and candles
-your shared apartment is FULL of them (also those Fragance sticks)
-it constantly smells like a perfume shop
-she's a cat person, you guys would have a black cat 100% (if they'd still exist)

For the “spicy” prompt im imagining Platonic Yandere Batfam discovering your internet history, and having a confrontation about how you’re far too young for such things (reader is a full adult, not that the Batfam sees it that way).
I sadly already have something written out for today, but I really love this idea so I decided that I'd just go into the concept a bit as well - I mean I make the rules to this so I might as well use that power.
Okay, so I don't really write smut as of now because I don't read it and I do have not a lot of real-life experience so I figure it might just be a lot of cringy blabbering. But let's go with the 'spicey' meaning that horny adolescents will probably think of when reading the word in the context of fanfiction.
Now you're probably somewhere in the span of 16-20 in this scenario, old enough to live independently on your own, but young enough that the batfam can somehow justify it in their mind to treat you like a precious, fragile, little toddler. Sure, some of them logically know that you're basically a grown-up, but with how much effed-up shit they see every day they don't really wanna admit that to themselves and rather chose to act all 'I do not see'. And while that's all fine and dandy for them to do, it doesn't change the logical facts. Fact number one: You grew out of binkies and blankies like a decade ago, for god's sake Dick stop trying to make me take ten naps a day with them. Fact number two: Like I said, you're kind of (definitely) an adult and assuming that you have not always been the coddled little Wayne-baby that the Batfam wants to see you as you've probably been exposed to adult things before and aren't sensitive with seeing them. Like, guys, I was reading the news daily before you crazy people kidnapped me - stop talking about international crises as if the countries are people who have minor disagreements, okay? Fact number three: there comes a time in an adult's life when they might be craving a somewhat more intimate partner in their life - and no, Damian, I don't mean the bestest friend in the whole world forever, I mean a guy or a gal or a nonbinary pal who can rock your shit, if you get my drift (never dare say that to Damian out loud tho, you will be having your mouth washed out with soap). So while it might be a giant oversight on your part to not realize that all your precious internet time is completely monitored, you still probably haven't expected to be sat down by Bruce, Dick, Jason and Alfred and get a lecture on how you're way too little to look up these kinds of things (you looked up TikTok videos and happened to watch a few with TikTokers dancing in slightly less covered clothing) and how your mind is too undeveloped to grasp these big things you searched for (you looked up a statistic on the rate of kidnapping victims to get killed) and how you should keep playing your safe games instead of these violent ones (you looked at a game trailer for Cyberpunk 2077).
All your arguing falls on deaf ears. They just don't wanna hear that you're not their little, innocent baby. The only good thing is that they don't think you have enough logical thinking skills yet to properly grasp the situation so you'll be punished very lightly (a month without internet privileges). Once you're allowed to go online again though, you'll have to make do with the special kiddy-pad they got you with all the safety features and parental controls installed. So yeah, might wanna get used to being without the internet from now on...

Blog time Hello! We are back from our trip! I'd say I'm feeling refreshed but coming back to sweltering dry heat shut down that feeling very quickly. Now we are even more determined to move to the seaside within the year though 🏃‍♀️ It's incredible how much of an effect on your health the weather can have. These days we have been hiking for around 8 hours a day in the mountains and coast without breaking a sweat in 17-22ºc high humidity weather. In contrast, today back home we walked to the store five streets away in a dry 33ºc sun and we felt like throwing up and never leaving the house again lmao and it only gets much worse until september aaaa I can't wait to move out of the city and start a new colder and quieter phase of life where I don't have to dread the coming of summer every year!! But at the same time I've been feeling this trepidation about settling down somewhere permanently, I realized that every 5 years or so I get the itch to move somewhere new and it worries me a bit tbh, I hope it is just my fear of commitment acting up and the fact that we just haven't found the right place yet. And the longer we spend in this place the more we feel like it will be the right one so I'm hopeful!
We have also been watching more of David's filmography! we watched Des, Single Father, Recovery, Bad Samaritan and Deadwater Fell. We enjoyed Recovery, Single father and Deadwater Fell the most, all were really good!! then Des was decent and Bad Samaritan was terrible. But as expected David steals the show every time and you end up sitting through the most ridiculous scripts just to see him give it his all and elevate the whole thing with every scene lmao the sheer range of this man!! let me gush for a second, he goes from the most charming and pitiful train wreck you would kill to protect to the most terrifying monster of a person so effortlessly you can hardly tell it's the same actor. He is so outstandingly good at every role!! Anyway I love watching our little shows of our favourite guy with Nicolas everyday, it has been the highlight of my year 🥰
I've also been meaning to get back into games but I just can't find the right one! I tried the whole cozy farming/survival/sandbox game thing and came to the conclusion that it's not for me, I don't find them engaging enough so it ends up feeling like a time sink 😞 I also thought of going back to FFXIV but the new expansion doesn't sound like something I would really enjoy and while I love RPG I'm finding it hard to commit to 40+ hours of storyline lately, BG3, Cyberpunk 2077 and Disco Elysium have been sitting in my library for ages now and I can't bring myself to play them even tho I want to!! I'm hoping DA4 will get me back into the RPG mood. I've also played Hades II but I'm all out of content until release! Maybe shooters will do the trick, something fast paced I can play for a little bit as a distraction from work. I've been meaning to check how Warframe is doing too, I love it and haven't played in ages, and every time I check it's like a completely different game so that could be fun! but I'm rambling now, if you have any game recommendations let me know! I hope you are all doing well 😊 I'll get back to drawing now and will share some sea pictures later!

HELLO IN BITS AND BYTES LOOKS SO COOL?? Can I ask what the general premise is?
HI!! it's essentially just a cyberpunk themed isat au :] Only the king's whole curse thing is a virus which freezes people via their prosthetics (I'd like to think the prosthetics have ties to nerves etc? Idk there's a lot and I thought I had an info post but ig not? I'll do that someday.)
Here's some miscellaneous content that gives u a lot more info tho!
U can also find a lot more of it under the cyberpunk au tag on my profile! I've apparently posted just a bunch of miscellaneous bits but. I'll make a more organized post someday.

Writeblr Re-Intro
Yo! I'm V Saintsin. Or V or Vin or Saintsin or whatever you want to call me that sounds right on your tongue. I'm a self-proclaimed Social Media fumbler who got a late start to the party and has never quite figured it out. I hate how hipster and edgy it sounds to say "I'm bad at social media" but like I used to work with some people who actually managed the social media accounts for the business we worked for and there were rules and whatnot and damn, I think online media is just not my medium. That being said, here I am! Hah
I'm an author and general mess who's hoping to be the miracle man (somebody who makes a living writing silly little stories). I do use a pseudonym but please hear me out when I say I didn't realize how edgy it sounds, it just has some sentimental value to my personal life. I'm so sorry that I sound like I'm in my emo phase HAHA
About me -
He/Him Transguy from the American Midwest (arguably the south, depending on who you talk to, but the older people still say "Sodi-pop" and "ope").
I'm dysautonomic, bendy, permanently sleepy, and a survivor of Crappy Doctors Who Suck At Doctoring.
I like DnD, Pathfinder, Baldur's Gate 3, Cyberpunk, Dragon Age, and other things in that vein.
I do make art of my stories and characters (Tablet is currently not working so I'm in a dry spell).
My writing background is predominantly ancient, dusty RPs from as far back as the foopets days and fanfic writing on Quizilla - I am an old and wizened elder of the net.
My formal education was music performance and behavioral neuroscience, I don't really know how I got where I am.
This is not my first rodeo with tumblr but it is the first time I have anything to SAY instead of just lurking.
In the event of malfunction, you can put me outside for 5 minutes and I'll probably factory reset.
My existence as I know it hinges on a massive number of sticky notes plastered throughout my room.
What I'm lookin' for -
Idk, whatever? I'm down for most things. Did you write it? Cool, let me see. I'm not too bent on genre or anything, just fascinated by the art of storytelling.
A bit tentative with fanfiction but that's just because if it's not a fandom I'm familiar with I am rather clueless about what the hell is going on and if it's a fandom I am familiar with I HUNT DOWN THE DEEP LORE.
I like art a whole lot, including fanart. Also art advice, love seeing things from different perspectives and learning something new.
Mutuals, really, for any reason. Building better connections on here, getting to know people. I am hideously bad at this but I try.
What I write -
Science Fiction with heavy subjects that matter to me - trigger warnings on a story-by-story basis.
High Fantasy (eventually books I think?) characters and their backgrounds for DnD and Pathfinder - I have been tempted to share these to help people get ideas or just for free use?
Things that I delete because I have crippling imposter syndrome and publishing makes me nauseous (doin' it tho).
Stories that I hope will make people feel less alone or that people could relate to, stories that I wish I had when life was worse and I was reaching out for anything I could find to keep me afloat, stories that try to be critical of things that SUCK in a way that's any helpful.
Lots of curse words and cussing (that's just how people talk 'round here), dubious science, things that I hope might make you cry but in a good way though.
Character-Driven stories that revolve more around the development of the person and less around the plot itself if that makes sense.
I've put blurb things below for my primary project/series which features a grumpy, queer, 37-year old chain smoking Frenchman and his misadventures with life and love and unbridled rage. If any of that sounds cool stick around and hang out? (This part is a plug bc I did a thing and I'm proud of it) And if my books sounds interesting the first one is 99 cents on Kindle and you just need a phone and a free app to read it!
THE SECRET OF LIFE (Published) - Sci-Fi/Psychological Thriller, Bi M Lead, Lovers to Enemies, AI but the oldschool cool kind not the real world thing that's stealing our future
Carlisle-Trystan Antoinette is a mercenary on a hard road, navigating life and death itself in an infinite cycle started by powers above his understanding. He has one mission - warn The Dianican Space Station of the coming threat and put a stop to a war that would encapsulate the whole of the Sol System before it can ever begin. Unfortunately for Carlisle, reality is a tenuous thing, made up only by our understanding of it. At least, according to his Psychiatrist, who tells him that there is no war, that he was never a mercenary, and that what Carlisle is experiencing is a severe but manageable psychotic break. Stripped of his combat enhancements, his bio monitor, and everything he's every known, Carlisle has a decision to make. Does he give in to the thoughts and memories, so real that he can almost taste them, or does he live a life of comfort and ease, returning to a husband and daughter that he left behind?
TWs: Domestic and War Violence, suicide, rape, medical trauma, grief, drug use
THE SILENCE OF ANGELS (Due 2024, TSoL 2) - Betrayal and Rage, Learning how to love again slow-burn romantic subplot, Learning how to Dad, A general inability for any one thing to just go right
(Quick Rough Blurb that offers no spoilers for TSoL) Making connections isn't easy for somebody who's accustomed to burning bridges. Isolation has always been Carlisle's mantra for surviving his life. Playing a role comes second nature, pretending to be the man that everyone else wants to see in him. When an old friend is murdered Carlisle finds himself as the primary suspect with all evidence pointing to him so clearly that even he calls to question what he is capable of. Unwilling to believe that he could commit such a heinous crime, Carlisle sets off to find the truth of his friend's death - was Carlisle framed or does he truly have the capacity to bring such harm upon those he loves? Old and new bonds will be tested, faith broken, and the future of everyone called into question as lines are drawn and sides are picked.
TWs: Violence, mentions of SA, graphic character death, more grief, more death
I don't know what else to say... Later!

Tumblr media
�� Oh boy! Here we go.
I created a LMK Au just for funsies. A furutistic, high technologic world with cyberpunk vibes! (Because I absolutely love this type of aesthetic)
✦ the picture above is just a quick drawing I did of Macaque in this AU. I will get into details about the AU while showing a few infos of a few LMKs characters alongside with their designs. (Just a reminder I'm still creating the AU and it's my first time making one. It might be a little messy, so I apologize if it gets too messy--)
Oh! And by the way, the characters on this AU follow the same basic formula as the original characters. So it doesnt have much changes, other than the world they live in, their clothes and a few events.
✦ MK, The Monkie Kid
Tumblr media
• Its the same thing as our little MK from the animated series, he works at Pigsy's Noodles as a delivery boy, is the Monkey king's biggest fan and is his successor and pretty much the basic stuff.
• He learned about the Monkey king with Mister Tang. He is a huge fan.
• Tho he isn't a great expert, he knows how to how to fix computer cases, machines and vehicles and build stuff by using old pieces (he learned with Pigsy and Sandy, just in case his delivery vehicle breaks in the middle of the road or a something start malfunctioning in the noodle store). As we can see, he works more in the hardware part.
• He likes to collect the old pieces of old devices that people throw away in the city's old graveyard. It's like a type of recycling. (That's also how he find the Monkey king's staff but that is a thing I will tell in details in another day--)
• He loves to draw!!! Hooray!!! He also likes to play games. Is always playing video games with his best friend, Mei, on the arcade or online.
✦ Mei, The White Horse Dragon Girl
Tumblr media
• She's a programmer/developer of softwares (Yes I know that in I drawing I said she's a "hacker but a bit clumsy" but actually i wanted to say shes a programmer. I was sleepy, it was 2 am, and my brain wasn't braining 😰😰😰---) with a few knowledge about hardwares. She created her technological helmet system with MK's help. (Her helmet it's similiar to Iron man's helmet from inside.)
• She built her own motorcycle, again with MK's help. She participates a lot motorcycles race just for funsies.
• Loves to play games. I guess I could say she is quite of a professional gamer? She play to win. But when she is playing with MK or with other friends, she doesnt care losing or winning, she only cares about enjoying some quality time with them.
✦ Liu'er Mihou, The Six Eared Macaque.
Tumblr media
• Pretty much same as the original Macaque. (Lost his eye in the past with a fight against Sun Wukong. Omg betrayal. Yknow the deal-)
• Here he is a Hacker/Cracker.
"But what is a cracker?" You may ask. Now it's time for my nerd/TI studant side take over. A cracker it's a mean hacker. The cracker breaks/attacks the systems and webs for their own benefit, which it's for illegal purposes. Now a Hacker it's actually a job, which their purpose its to find the security breaches and ways to how break it, so then they can make the security stronger and prevent invasions/attacks at the system.
With that being said, Macaque is a hacker/cracker. So he makes defense systems to himself and breaks into other systems for illegal purposes.
• He got these gloves that helps him hack things better, he created it himself. He create floating holograms like it's a tablet screen and can hold on these holograms using these gloves. With a simple touch he can steal database from a device and hack it's system. (He can hack machines, computers, tech weapons and even the light system.)
• He got his shadow magic too, same as the original one. Shadow clones, shadow portals... but he kinda makes a fusion between his magic and the technology he invented to himself. (Before anyone say it. YES! I got heavily inspired by Sombra from Overwatch. 😔)
✦ The Monkey King, Sun Wukong
Tumblr media
• Yeah, the Monkey king. The great sage equal to heaven. The silly who made a havoc on heaven---
• HE GOT THAT HUGE MECHA WE SAW IN THE ANIMATED SERIES BECAUSE HE DOESNT LIKE USING HIS KAIJU FORM !!!
But he doesnt use the mecha much. It has been CENTURIES since he last use it. Now MK is the one who uses it because he is Sun Wukong's successor.
• That's not his "Monkey King" royal clothes. It just some casual/comfy clothes to use in everyday life.
• He already knew who MK was. MK is a stone Monkey just like himself. Wukong have been watching the kid grow up from far. He grow a bit attached to the boy.
Sun Wukong surely wasn't expecting to MK being able to lift his golden staff, so he think in the opportunity to make him his sucessor and teach him how to use his new powers. (Yes, I was lisiting to "the horse and the infant" song. How did you kn--)
Oh God. That explanation was long.
✦ Welp, that's all for today!
I will post more stuff about the AU in the future. And I still need to think a name for it...
It is clear I got heavily inspired by Cyberpunk, techwear, overwatch, New Gods: Nezha reborn, Arcane and other stuff. I'm sorry, BUT I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT AESTHETIC AND VIBES!! HHHHHHH-
✦ I'm a huge nerd. 🤓

Happy STS! What is your favourite thing about your WIP/WIPs? :)
(Absolutely anything, just your favourite aspect of it be in within the story or outside of it!)
OHH :D *cracks knuckles*
Lets do a few
Espada
Espa is my favorite part. Shes just. !!! So fun and easy to draw. And to write. And she has the juiciest backstory ever.
I also like Sabreee and Guy. And Sethie. And Juste. Well okay I like all of them. But Espa is just the Best.
I also like it that it's living weapon whump because I Adore living weapon whump and also that I'm managing to actually write it!
Meine
I don't know, not sure. Maybe that it has a pretty cool cast! Different backstories and some neat character dynamics and everybody has a cool superpower. And the plot is a bit confusing to me even lmao but I love it that they get captured multiple times. Yay
Anima Saga
My favorite part its that its just pure fun!! Like so enormously fun. The very worldbuilding caters to my plot preferences and I get to put any culture for any character I want and also make shit up because it's fantasy. I know this applies to a lof of others because they are mostly fantasy and I always make things do for fun but anima??? Deserves a shoutout. Just anythingggg I want
LRRHC
I always abbreviate this one....because the title is so silly... but it's "little red riding hood cyberpunk". It is not exactly little red riding hood nor cyberpunk tho.
My favorite part is the worldbuilding! At some point I made up a lot of factions because I knew I wanted it to be a "dystopian society is at the verge of a revolution" kind of story so I thought itd be fun if there were different groups who wanted different sorts of revolutions. I got quite a fun aesthetic tho so I like that. It's in a document I don't touch much lately (leaving this wip and a few others in the back shelf) so i dont remember every detail
Across Time and Odds
The title....
No, fr tho, I'm Terrible with titles (case in point: "[main character name], [main character name], LRRHC") so this one is Nice and. I love it.
ALSO Dan. The mc. He is very fucked in the head and has a perfectionist complex and his gender makes some quite complicated situations to his dismay so it's fun to torture him with it.
Ein
I'm honestly not sure. This one is just a dear. I have guarded it for later bc tbh I don't think I can make it justice with my level of experience. Maybe Kaiki and his backstory. Maybe Kaiki's design? Maybe Arielle in general. Maybe the worldbuilding. ...probably not the title
9GOH
"The 9 gates of hell" which is an okay title! I like it. My favorite part is definitely, 100% sure, the magic system. I LOVE the magic system on this one.
TWOTHT
"The War Of The Human Throne"
The premise! I Do like the title too lmao. It's pretty cool.
Honorable mention:
[Yuri Fencing]
This is less of a wip and more of a fun project with my friend. We were talking about bad sports (we don't like sports in general but are totally not biased, trust me) and how say, rugby is so bad it wouldn't even have an anime, which somehow turned into making a rugby anime, which we decided to make yaoi because sports anime duh, but then we thought it'd be SO cool to make it yuri instead, and then we quit rugby because we don't like rugby and chose fencing instead.
My favorite part is that since it is an Anime (or a manga...? Visual novel...? I don't know how we might do this but thats irrelevant for now) we get to play with a lot of anime archetypes and conventions and elements which isn't something I always have the opportunity to do
We have japanese names! I like naming japanese characters because I get to learn how to write them. The protagonists name, for example, is Yayoi, written as 夜宵 (night + evening) and her love interest rival is Hakui (白衣, white + clothing/coat). It was fun to decide
Totally not yayoi, similar to 'yayoi' as a callback to yuri on ice, a yaoi anime with an mc called 'yuri'
And character archetypes!!! We have a rich kid, a delinquent, an inexpressive girl, even a nerd sidekick! Its lots of fun

chat, am I futureshock ?
Tumblr media
occasionally I get people say stuff like this, and I'm glad they like my blog, I'm glad they enjoy the surface-level vibes. nonbinary matrix header, soft retro-vibe colourscheme, posts appearing as shell commands, etc.
but I'm not an aesthetic blog
I'm what happens when an autistic tranny who is A Bit Too Much Computer witnesses the realtime enshittification of everything.
first up, i wanna be clear that i'm not trying to shit on the person who sent me this or discourage people who enjoy these aesthetics (or what they perceive as my personal brand) for enjoying them, or from diving deeper. in fact, i would encourage it - please !! go look into things !! discover !! fuck things up !! fix them !!!
now i wanna talk about aesthetics. i love the design language of a lotta late 80s hardware, vehicles, physical interfaces. i love the design language of a lot that in the 90s, as well as software, early GUI stuff etc. and tbh a lot of that right up until the mid 00s. if we wanna play deeply unserious but whimsical visual signifiers for fun and silly reasons, sure then i'm webcore, i'm hackercore, i'm retrofuture and cyber, i'm cassette futurist, i'm cyberpunk or whatever. i'm cute glittery gifs of windows 95 slate dialog boxes and big standing racks full of das blinkenlights. i'm the cave shadow of a CD Walkman i'm that big chonky 80s red 7-segment alarm clock.
but i'm not just aesthetics. i'm not doing all this purely for the bit. up until a couple years ago i was sacrificing a ton of convenience for my principles. now i'm sacrificing certain specific conveniences and a buncha anti-consumer nonsense for my principles and a shit ton of other, better, conveniences.
this wasn't meant to be a long post, and may well end up influencing some of my cyberpriestess posting when i get my website going, as there's a lotta good jumping-off points here.
let me show y'all how i live. at least some of it.
daily driver ? 11-year-old gaming pc w/ some recent era-appropriate upgrades (well, the gpu is pushing it but like is reasonable someone would've done that upgrade).
Tumblr media
this is what i mean. this is pluug2, my daily driver. and she still runs games. and yes i'm using arch rn bc i did a reinstall and for whatever reason the version of the void installer i had was corrupted and arch was the only other diy distro i had laying around. she'll end up running something infinitely more cursed in the future once i get s6 stuff figured out.
i spent like half an hour configuring fastfetch (the backend i'm using for hyfetch) bc the default kinda sucked. that's how this works.
i do dumb shit, i have fun, i live by my principles as much as possible...fuck idk
oh right, my thinkpad is a t61 from 2008. her graphics suck enough she literally can't load games. not anything made past idk DX9 ?? however her discord experience is about on part w/ my envy 360 from over 10 years later. she's kinda sick tho. idk. will probably turn her into a media pc or some kinda server since she's got a 2600U w/ 8 threads.
i don't get youtube ads. i don't get tempted by the comments section, i don't have my watch history profiled. i have a local database of playlists (the video tab on a channel counts as a playlist btw) that i can sync and fuzzy search in the terminal and it'll play via the video player on my system. however, i don't get stuff recommended which makes finding stuff entirely active.
i gotta test and tweak games i wanna play bc old hardware and also usually running via compatibility layer (proton my beloved) on account of..well no linux-native version. or the native version has issues.
discord and screenshare don't pay niceys all the time. this is partly a discord enshittification issue but also the discord devs don't care about linux as a platform. they "support" it bc hey electron works there. because it's the fuckign chrome browser. audio support in screenshare is an unofficial feature added by volunteer devs and that's a breach of TOS bc that's the world we live in now.
my brain is full of init system trivia, audio services and routing frameworks, a ton of incomprehensible nonsense that marks the difference between nostalgia-bait and Actually Being Like This.
come on in, by all means ! let's learn the semantics behind vim's actions/keybinds, let's discover old parts of the net, build up an environment from its component pieces. let's suffer together as the separation of accounts forces the use of several different email addresses, a TOTP app, and renewed access tokens to play one (1) game online w/ friends.
i'm not futureshock cybercore cassette retropunk, i'm stubborn and refuse to engage in as much of the bullshit forced on us these days as i physically can.

how do you handle the machine dysphoria?
So I've talked about this a bit in a few previous asks
But the two biggest things for me have been playing with my gender/pronouns, and my fashion.
Using Ze/Zir and identifying as a robot/synth and otherkin has definitely helped me lean into that feeling, and that has heavily influenced my fashion and how I dress myself.
I've put a lot of time, effort, and money into building my wardrobe around a futuristic/cyberpunk kind of style, and it really helps me feel more connected to that mechanical aspect of my identity. Obviously this can be kind of challenging to do if you're starting fresh, but it has been a big part of my transition in general and so has been a long process over the last like 6 years.
Also I think being terminally online kinda helps lmao, tho maybe not in the healthiest way.

personal opinion if i may (gen.shin)
this isn't meant to diss anyone who likes gen.shin (primarily on natl.an). i truly understand the appeal that gen.shin has, but it's slowly losing the charm it had when i initially started playing it. i can't say I don't like g.enshin anymore, because i still have many favorites (lumi.ne, tartag.lia, foca.lors, jea.n, suc.rose, and many more) and they've provided me with so much fun and comfort back at like, 2022/3 i think.
it's just, seeing the state that gens.hin is in, with the poor treatment of POC characters and the general worldbuilding of nat.lan, it left a bad taste in me if im being honest :( the way nat.lan is being portrayed feels so out-of-place from the "old fashioned, authentic" feeling that the previous nations had. i had this same feeling towards sum.eru as well (naturally i was off put by the lack of melanin some of the characters had, but i tried not to think much because technically they had characters like cy.no, cand.ace, de.hya + npcs already, so i will be generous and leave a margin of error for brighter skinned characters.)
but that generosity slowly faded when i look at the nat.lan cast. i remember seeing a leak for mav.uika and i was in genuine denial, like the first thing that struck me was just how Modern she looked. a motorbike in the region of war? that's not exactly the most, harmonious combo is it? and looking at the rest of the characters, they started to feel more like... just some playables for a cyberpunk esque genre with a drop of fantasy. but not Gen.shin. (xi.lonen is drop dead gorgeous, trust me, but. she looks like a zz.z character if anything 😭) it ruins the vision and im all for authenticity. someone said they liked the nat.lan characters' designs aesthetically but not dietgetically which i think personally applies to how i feel. their designs are lovely if you remove the context. but with context to their worldbuilding, it's odd
all of these factors contributed to my absolute disinterest for the game - but there was one part that made me just give One More Chance to try overlooking it - and it was Cap.itano. the fatu.i has been such a big antagonistic figure in the story so far and i really loved their past entries. it made me wonder if he could do justice - but unfortunately i do know he's "dead" now, so it feels like i have to discard him and make do with the nat.lan cast until snez.hnaya comes out. i do know he has a cool impact in the story but it's a shame he's not gonna be a playable like arle.ccino, child.e and wa.nderer
and then with the recent issue with this vare.sa individual makes me unfortunately really upset. you're telling me shes a lu.chador 💀 i dont even wanna begin to point the obvious flaws
its just. really sad. i really liked k.inich, he looks so cool and i actually would've f/o'd him (and he perfectly aligns with my fos being aloof) but i didnt want to pursue it because of the overwhelming issue natl.an is carrying. it ruins the vision you know ;-;
but um, to summarize how i feel for gensh.in; the game has been really wonderful to me, though its hard to say i love it right now ;-;. i probably won't play it in a bit (mostly because of storage issues and being more involved with id.v hehe) and i don't really want to associate with nat.lan characters, mostly because i don't know them and im kinda tired to learn more about them (but ig if im lucky i can Try. playing it again next time? keyword, try. i haven't been obsessed with genshi.n in awhile fkdbfhfjkd) if you like them, that's cool, that's awesome. i hope you enjoy them
im more attached to the past regions before nat.lan and im pretty much ok with them (tho i kimda forgot su.meru because i speedran to font.aine 😭)
