Doodling this made me realise I wanna mess with Erratic Pulse's design more to make it actually distinct from Pebbles (other than just a censor bar) so I'll do that someday

Immortal characters like vampires and gods and whatever are always depicted as being apathetic to downright delusional as a byproduct of their immortality.

Being godlike and powerful makes them jaded and unempathetic (Greek gods in media) and the restless search for connection and validation makes them delightfully delusional and manipulative (many of the vampires in Interview)

But then you move into the robotic vein of immortality and you find a completely different kind of emotional composition entirely.

I was chatting with @rxmain-lettuce and essentially listing off every popular robot in media these days from Wheatley and Glados to AM and Auto.

When you have a character achieve immortality it so often comes with the consequence of depression and loneliness. The immortal’s loved ones pass on and they watch decades pass them by. It results in a character inherently out of touch with reality.

Even well meaning immortals in media like Heimerdinger (Arcane) are slightly deluded in an outdated or lofty way of thinking.

And then you have immortal robots who are anything but apathetic and jaded.

Robots like Glados and AM who completely sidestep apathy by being so hatefully vengeful

It’s almost what keeps them alive.

But then you get into robots like Auto or Five Pebbles who aren’t directly hateful but are antagonistic simply because their intended purpose no longer aligns with that of the human protagonists.

It’s also important for me to mention that I’m largely talking about antagonistic robots. There are plenty of friendly robots in media, however I feel that the characterization of an evil robot is something set into our very history with technology.

I mean the whole idea of “robots are going to kill all of humanity” could’ve started as early as 1900 when the poster, “An Unrestrained Demon” was prevalent.

We’ve always feared technological advances and personally I think we should go back to thinking about how robots are gonna take over the world. The his who thought of that and made movies out of those ideas were genius.

We don’t got jaded, sad, hateful little robots like we used to

I absolutely DON'T sing Kuroge in the shower, what?! Jokes aside, these are some of the best anime songs I've heard in my 20-something years.

[cookiefate]

Cookiefate for July 27th: "Someone you care about seeks reconciliation."

Play hard to get. Ignore their messages and calls for a while.

Also, oops I did it again :(((

Cookiefate for July 26th: "Be assertive when decisive action is needed."

"Be like a bulldozer in the rain forest and plow through any obstacles in your path."

So, I got the character book and vol.1 of Battle of Tokyo. I'm working hard to translate the text to English and I'll hopefully be able to start posting them soon c:

I'm excited but also super nervous as I'm relying heavily on DeepL to translate it. Hopefully, I can work it so it makes sense and the translations are accurate. I'm excited to learn more about this world.

Adeline's Tarot Journal, Note #01

The Celtic Cross Tarot Spread

Rx The High Priestess

Three of Swords

King of Swords

Rx The Star

Knight of Pentacles

Six of Swords

Rx Four of Cups

Rx Five of Cups

Temperance

Rx Five of Pentacles

Rx Eight of Swords

There was a storm that blew the cards in my room, through a half opened window that I forgot to close. And when I came back the cards were in disarray. That was the moment I decided it was time to set the cards in the Celtic Cross and to do a reading. This was the result. 

In this reading, the High Priestess represents the feminine self and the Magician represents the masculine self. 

Rx The High Priestess

This card represents you, the questioner, and speaks of some form of regret in a decision which makes you keep questioning like you might be wondering if this makes you look foolish in some way. 

Three of Swords

This card represents the world around you, and speaks of an absence which is bothering or upsetting you… as well as a delay in news you might be expecting and trying not to raise your expectations. You might also be feeling sorrowful and trying to divert your attention towards someone you don’t care for. 

King of Swords

This card represents the nature of your obstacles, and speaks of an authoritative man who has high standing in society who is highly analytical and determined to get his way. If this is regarding romance, you might be in luck. However if there is rivalry, you might have to find more than a way to catch his attention. 

Rx The Star

This card represents the past events that the present is based on, and as a reversed card this speaks of unfulfilled hopes, disappointment, and lack of opportunities. The past might not have been your moment but as things are progressing, you cannot help but be persistent in trying your hand at success in your endeavours. 

Knight of Pentacles

This card represents events that have just passed and speaks of a mature and responsible person, perhaps yourself, who is methodical, persistent, and hard working. This means that what you have been setting intentions for will manifest in the future. 

Six of Swords

This card represents your future and speaks of travels, voyages, and over all success. This means that by going on a holiday you might just get the answers you are looking for. It sounds indirect but it actually might be part of your decisions. 

Rx Four of Cups

This card shows your future and speaks of new possibilities, new acquaintances, and new knowledge. There is a lot of opportunities in your future so you shouldn’t live in the past trying to edit your life. Instead, you should be focusing on how to be someone who can seize the day. 

Rx Five of Cups

This card represents your fears and speaks of an affinity or a return of an old friend, a hopeful outlook and a reunion. Maybe you are afraid of something good happening if this means that something bad will follow. You don’t want to jinx this so you are avoiding something good. 

Temperance

This card represents your family and speaks of following your family’s footsteps and taking over the success of your family. This card is a good omen and reveals harmony and influence that your family can use to protect the morals you have been raised with. 

Rx Five of Pentacles

This card represents your hopes and wishes and speaks of reversing some bad luck or minor mistakes as well as overcoming some chaos in your life. You have new interests that have led to a new perspective. 

Rx Eight of Swords

This card is the final result of your reading and speaks of some kind of treachery in the past and a quiet but chaotic state of mind that is affecting you. Try not to sink into your thoughts. Instead try to look ahead because good things are coming your way. 

The storm came and the winds blew, reshuffling the tarot deck and leaving the querent mystified. As the reading was deciphered, the storm subsided, and what was left was simply a new understanding for the world we are all part of.
