Hey guys remember when I posted that Signalis oc with no explanation

Here’s the explanation

「Replika Overview: ALBR」

Automatische-Reparatur Langlebig Bioanpassungsfähig Replika

| - 'Albatros' -

(Automatic-Repair Durable Bioadaptable Replika 'Albatross')

Type: Generation 5 High-Tech Hazard Unit

Frame: Biomechanical with Polyethylene Shell and Recursive Oxidant PVS

Height: 230cm

| - CLASSIFIED INFORMATION - Commander Eyes Only -

Hazard-assessment and mitigation units with an experimental ROPVS that allows easy replacement and repair of long-lasting core systems.

These serious and focused recluses use both their high-intensity training and phenomenal biology to survive in situations most Replikas cannot. The nature of their easily replaceable extremities allows them to use stilt-like extension control in their legs, and replace their arms with tool-specific attachments.

Previous experience with these Replika models has given us insight into irregularities in their behavior that stem from the original neural patterns used for these units. Due to the sensitive nature of this information, this document should be destroyed after reading.

Albatros are reserved with internal mental conflict and thus may not show signs of degradation for long periods after it begins. To periodically check on their mental status, Cadres must have arranged assemblies where the Albatros can socialize, typically organized by an external unit. It is recommended that this "breather" be at maximum a week before they are redeployed for service.

Albatros neural patterns derive from a biologically abnormal gestalt, and thus have biological culture that can develop in extreme ways. To prevent ideas of individualism, Albatros must be informed that they come in many variants, and to refer to each with the pronouns that best fit the development. The variant list is as follows: "Rußig", "Verschneit", "Gewallt", and "Wandernd".

Albatros personas can be best stabilized by fetish materials such as journal keeping, keeping a personal clock, and given a plush as a surrogate for a living thing to "protect". Do not mention the navy, do not imply the idea that they have a "family", and do not make their designated plush a bird to prevent resurfacing Gestalt memories.

New doll? New doll!

This is Aurelia, a porcelain BJD by Adollable Dolls out of South Africa. Her official artist name is Faylynn, but I wasn't a fan of that

She came in this lovely box:

With some extras:

Silver hair ornament with a little clip so she or I can wear it, and a box of Lindt truffles that unfortunately got squished in transit

She's a lovely doll overall; I've had some porcelain BJD disappointment in the past, so I was pleasantly surprised to open her and not feel that (two of the three I had previously owned ended up disappointing me). There are a few flies in the ointment, however.

The Good: gorgeous doll, good quality porcelain, very well done painting, little molded rings, posing is decent, spring jointed (which I prefer to elastic because it doesn't wear out), painted pubic hair- don't let unrealistic beauty standards get to you!, very soft and well constructed wig, pierced ears and earrings, nice packaging, came with a pretty stand that has a little silver feet

The Bad: weirdly small and narrow feet for the size and proportions of the doll; definitely cannot stand on her own, eyes are ever so slightly unfocused, artist sprayed a very strong perfume inside the box, does take a bit of finagling to pose even though she gets there in the end

(also I dropped one of her earrings on my carpet and now I can't find it, which is not the fault of the artist and has me kicking myself because they are very cute little gold leaves)

Overall, I would recommend this artist for the most part. Just be aware of the tiny feet thing, and maybe ask her if she can not spray perfume on the package if you have any kind of sensitivities or just generally don't want that

Welcome home, Aurelia!

A year ago I was inspired to make something that captured the exact aesthetic of a vintage, degraded VHS recording from the 90s, and I think I'm pleased with what I attempted.

Tidbits from things at the con

[elderwisp]

◁ || ▷ now playing

Gabriel: Find anything good? 

Theo: Nah, a lot of the newer stuff is kinda blegh. 

Gabriel: We could always look at those cool picture books with birds. I like those. 

Theo: Of course you would like the picture books.

Gabriel: No shame. 

Theo: He likes to drink milk with his bedtime stories.

Gabriel: Oh so you got jokes?

Theo: Plenty. Hilarious ones too. 

Gabriel: [ snickers ] Maybe you should be a comedian. 

Theo: If dancing doesn’t work out, I just might.

Gabriel: I mean, hypothetically, what would happen if things didn’t work out?

Theo: Oh I’d simply be devastated. No, things have to work out.

Gabriel: I mean, you always got family to fall back on, no?

Theo: Well, that would be my last option.

Gabriel: Huh.

-

Gabriel: You cool with your family, Theo?

Theo: Hm? Oh yeah. Everything’s normal.

Gabriel: Normal’s such a unique concept because what’s normal to me, might be the complete opposite for you. 

Theo: I dunno. A lot of concepts don’t make sense, you know? 

Gabriel: So it’s better to not ask questions.

Theo: You might not like the answer.

Gabriel: Try me.

Theo: I- [ sighs ] Things were fine, then they weren’t. It always starts that way. My parents are close-minded folk and they couldn’t stand the idea that their kid didn’t want to conform. I’m good now.

Gabriel: I see. 

Theo: Things need to work out for me here, Gabriel.

Gabriel: So let’s make sure of it, yeah?

Theo: Deal.

hello radiant emperor fandom. i heard you guys like dark historical fantasies about genderqueer warlords and their ruthless pursuit of Revenge and/or The Throne… well let me put you onto something:

need more emo femboys with daddy issues? doomed siblings? lord/vassal dynamics? romantic stabbing? corruption arcs? sexy masochism? you 🫵 should consider reading

Requiem of the Rose King by Aya Kanno

loosely based off Shakespeare's Henry and Richard plays, this manga follows intersex protagonist Richard III (yes he has straight black hair with the bangs covering one eye. yes it’s to hide his heterochromia) through England's War of the Roses.

(he is so cute don't you just want to see him snarling and covered in blood. don't you want to see him slowly abandon his ideals in a desperate bid to be accepted by the world that shunned and demonized him.)

battle, bloodshed, and court politics ensue! also because it's a shoujo manga, Richard becomes the psychosexual obsession of most of the male cast and engages in a toxic doomed relationship or two.

this is not a series for those looking for good queer rep, but perfect for anyone who wants to read about beautiful criminally insane people tearing each other's throats out and being horny about it. it is fun, violent, melodramatic, sexy, and utterly devastating. and although it is tonally very different from TRE, it has so many similar ingredients that i think it deserves to be on your radar. actually it deserves to be on everyone's radar, it's so fucking good and doesn't get anywhere near the attention it deserves...

yea there is an anime that is unforgivably ugly and so heavily censored it's a mystery why they even bothered to adapt it. would not recommend it at all but i guess you can watch it if you want, i am not the police.

actually no i changed my mind. Aya Kanno's work is stunning and deserves to be appreciated. ok case rested.

Sam is really an unbelievable actor, just so unbelievable at accessing those depths and with no vanity or fear about going there.

Truly, anons! The Writer's Guild event I went to the other night was actually with a couple of the writers from The Newsreader, Michael included, and they didn't talk a ton about the actors, given it was a writing event, but they really did heap deserved praise on him, Anna and Michelle in particular. One of the things that Michael mentioned too is how Dale was Sam's first time coming back to a character as he'd never done a returning series before, and how much he grew with Dale and how deeply he knew him by the end of the series, which was just really special, and I do think you can see that, particularly in that sequence in the last episode.
