#lot of rambling

[flowerbarrel-art]

(Very long post with rambles)

Animator Vs Animation and Oneshot both have concepts of AI being “tamed”, but have different ways they’re carried out.

Chosen being tamed meant he was a prisoner and he wasn’t treated well at all. If it weren’t for him being trapped, the “taming” wouldn’t stick. Later Chosen has a chance and frees himself, fighting back against Alan again.

But in Oneshot taming means someone took the time to become friends and care about the robots, and it sticks because they want it to. This type of taming somehow allows them to break out of their programming. They’re “tamed” by friendship because someone cares about them. They probably don’t have to follow the Laws of Robotics anymore (the three laws are brought up in the game).

ProphetBot says there wasn’t time to tame him, since everyone was evacuating the area. He was left behind and I don’t think becomes tamed during the game (but potentially does or could be after it’s over).

Alan tamed Chosen by force. I don’t know what it would’ve been like if Alan had been able to calm Chosen down or talk to him. Chosen started destroying Alan’s desktop, which I think is because he couldn’t control his powers. Maybe there was no chance to talk to Chosen. He might not have wanted to listen even before Alan started fighting him. Definitely didn’t want to after Alan caught him.

Maybe if there had been more time, it could’ve been possible to tame Chosen without force. The programmer seemed to be pretty optimistic about whatever way he had to stop Chosen—whatever it was. We probably won’t know exactly.

Maybe catching Chosen and disabling his powers, which Alan did on his own. After the antivirus program caught Chosen, Alan may have contacted the programmer again and was able to hear the advice this time.

But I wonder, if Alan and Chosen had become friends, maybe Chosen would’ve been able to grow past his “destructive Chosen One” programming. Alan wouldn’t have drawn Dark to stop Chosen since there would be no need.

Chosen would’ve gradually warmed up to Alan over time, becoming friends with him despite the rough start, because Alan cared and tried to make up for everything. Alan would’ve felt bad for making Cho a Chosen One, realizing how scared and confused he probably was and not just destructive. Alan realized it was hard to be a Chosen One and that he should’ve been more responsible and not creating a Stick just for fun.

Though I guess Alan might’ve decided to draw Chosen a friend after a while, and it would’ve been Dark. Maybe even Orange some time down the line. Chosen at first would be wary, not liking Alan drew Sticks just to be his friends, just a different way of seeing what would happen when making a new Stick (why he’s initially angry when Reconfigured Dark draws Macaroni and accidentally brings him to life). But Chosen would be glad to have Dark and later Orange as friends, and Alan knew he wanted other Stick friends.

If I ever wrote an AvA/OneShot crossover I could make that happen. Or just AvA with a different idea of how Chosen was tamed. I might. Possibly not right at the moment since even though I want to, I know I’d get incredibly carried away and I want to make some progress on other projects first. 😅 But I’m going to keep it in mind.

proud to say that I have never once in my life figured out the whodunit in any crime story I've read or watched. I just let the facts and clues wash over me, absorbing absolutely none of it. I am the audience they think of when they throw in red herrings, in case you've ever wondered "who would fall for this obvious false lead". it's me. I am the idiot viewer/reader. not once has an obviously framed clue revealed anything to me. my head is completely empty when I consume these stories.

White people are miserable, racist losers period. They’ve even been getting mad at Japanese people for correcting them about Yasuke as well.

Dick who climbed on anything as a child. Even in public, especially in public. The moment Bruce looks away, he is climbing something to get as high as possible. The first times, it gave Bruce an heart attack. Now, it's just a headache.

People pass by and ask if they should call the firefighters, and Bruce tiredly tell them "He is fine, he can get down on his own.", like people with cats.

Imagine, you're walking out of some building, only to see a 10 years old standing on top of a lamppost, having a discussion with his dad guardian at the bottom.

"Dick, get down."

"Make me."

"Get down or you're grounded."

a concerning amount of witchblr will be like "um actually new years was stolen by europeans from the ancient god scroobus mcdoobus" and then you actually try to research scroobus mcdoobus and it turns out he was invented in the 1940s by a conspiracy theorist who powdered every meal with ketamine and thinks that queer people are reincarnated fish

Every now and then I'm reminded Real People with Actual Jobs use tumblr and I've always been legitimately curious what all you weird adults are up to when you're not on this site and with tumblr's New Poll Feature I can finally get an answer! (or the closest approximation of an answer possible with only 10 available options h a)

Quick reminder since apparently it bears reminding in both directions: if bigoted people, closed-minded people overall, or your own internalized insecurities misinterpret a queer person’s message in a way that hurts/endangers you, yeah, it sucks, but it’s not the fault of the queer person in question, nor should it be a reason for them to silence themselves. They’re probably as hurt/pissed as you are that someone misinterpreted and misused their message to do harm.

Of course sadly there’ll still be queer people that actually DO mean harm and dismissal to other queer people – I ain’t speaking for those and it’s not the best way to ensure their and others’ wellbeing imo. I’m just saying – not all people will be like that. That’s what I want to believe. So hopefully let’s not put everyone in the same bag, keep supporting each other, WHILE allowing each other to advocate for our own visibility, without having to self-erase or self-censor to accomodate to what haters might say.

It’ll be tougher this way, maybe, because humans seem to like to draw extreme conclusions very quick, but I don’t believe there’s any better way for us all to be alright and stay alright on the long run.

Gentle reminder that very little fandom labor is automated, because I think people forget that a lot.

That blog with a tagging system you love? A person curates those tags by hand.

That rec blog with a great organization scheme and pretty graphics? Someone designed and implemented that organization scheme and made those graphics.

That network that posts a cool variety of stuff? People track down all that variety and queue it by hand, and other people made all the individual pieces.

That post with umpteen links to helpful resources, and information about them? Someone gathered those links, researched the sources, wrote up the information about them.

That graphic about fandom statistics? Someone compiled those statistics, analyzed them, organized them, figured out a useful way to convey the information to others, and made the post.

That event that you think looks neat? Someone wrote the rules, created the blogs and Discords, designed the graphics, did their best to promo the event so it'd succeed.

None of this was done automatically. None of it just appears whole out of the internet ether.

I think everyone realizes that fic writing and fanart creation are work, and at least some folks have got it through their heads that gif creation and graphics and moodboards take effort, and meta is usually respected for the effort that goes into it, at least as far as I've seen, but I feel like a lot of people don't really get how much labor goes into curation, too.

If people are creating resources, curating content, organizing the creations of others, gathering information, and doing other fandom activities that aren't necessarily the direct action of creation, they're doing a lot of fandom labor, and it's often largely unrecognized.

Celebrate fan work!

To folks doing this kind of labor: I see you, and I thank you. You are the backbones of our fandoms and I love you.

I've seen a few "Tim and Alice would be besties" posts and I love it so much cuz like. Tim's sense of humor canonically is mostly pop culture references to movies and stuff, there's no real indication that he's particularly online. Meanwhile Alice speaks like she's been Very active on tumblr for longer than she's been at OIAR CONSTANTLY, she just says the strangest shit all the time. So I just keep imagining a conversation between Tim and Alice constantly having to stop because Tim keeps cracking up unable to breathe over the Shit Alice Keeps Saying and he's never heard any of that kind of shit before, especially not with such a casual, nonchalant delivery. And Alice is laughing because its hilarious how offline Tim is. Hearing the phrase "none pizza with left beef" would incapacitate him.

Very important question for my fellow rainbow people!!!

Why do queer people exist?

Wrong answers only, go!
