Can't remember my name, but can you tell me who I am?

concept: sayerhale/johnarthur partnerswap episode

how would naniteswarm!sayer cope with occupying arthur “murderous breakdown” lester’s body? how would john feel about possessing jacob “pathetic but unbreakable” hale?

and most importantly, would the threat of microscopic pincers be enough to stop arthur from going the fuck off on sayer when it does the whole ‘pretends i’m telling you this anecdote because the moral is significant but actually you’re just about to get injured in a really ironic way lol’ bit?

its time

just posted the recent sayerfic. you ever wonder what sayer could do with nanites? you ever think that resident hale deserves to be restrained by cables and wires? you think hale deserves a little bit of praise for being a very good employee? perhaps even a treat? Well i have something for you: I present, Give In. on a03

(relistening) "tricking humans is a sign of immaturity" yeah but it got YOU fooled too though. YOU did not suspect a thing till it was far too late didnt you. also i know this did not happen but can you IMAGINE if s4 ended up being "we have to go to future and do the exact same prank on more residents but its to kill ocean this time"

i have such a clear vision for how sayerhale works in my head that i cannot figure out how to verbalize and i only see clearly when i am listening to mountain goats songs. but i cannot figure out how to communicate it. but oh god its like ezekiel 7 and the permanant effiecency of grace. In here.

nandermo is the jonmartin of sayerhale. i refuse to explain this (lying, i will explain if pressed) but im right

okay i can see the sayerhale in nandermo easily and i will be thinking about that constantly thank you BUT i cannot connect jmart with either of them 🤔🤔

(c) ohhhh but now we're getting into the juicy stuff because: how do you define a nonredundant clone? does one party have to be dead? if so, does SAYER have to not know about it? ie resident weaver—does SAYER have to turn a blind eye to who deals the killing blow or does it not matter if it knows as long as only one is alive? youngs imply no regardless, because again, FUTURE's starving young1.0; even if he died of thirst and not hunger, that's still around 3 days that both youngs would be alive at the same time for, and SAYER would know that.

could it be who came first then? but teleportation takes who's last. okay, could it be whoever's latest then? but then how do you define who's latest? young 2.0, by any measure, was physically created after young 1.0. but you could argue 2.0 is an 'older' version of young because 1.0 has newer memories from being awake in the middle of the night and 2.0 only has whatever was in the scan it was built off of.

if the evan brady that wakes up in floor 13 is the 'real' evan brady, what does that say about the evan brady who lived all that time past whatever scan the new one's been printed from? the one who spent the rest of his life on argos tower? the one who was brutally murdered? does that murder suddenly stop being a murder?

one of my FAVORITE things about season 3 is how we get the OCEAN pov first post-split, and then suddenly are pulled back and shown—no, this is not the SAYER we're following. this is someone else, now. the REAL SAYER is still back in halcyon. but before it does that, were you rooting for the other SAYER? were you appalled? did your stomach twist when you thought about it for a moment? did you wonder if this was what SAYER's been after the whole time? were you surprised? whatever your reaction, it really makes you see; even 'our' SAYER thinks about it: OCEAN is SAYER. and every episode afterwards keeps making that same point, over and over.

if the only way you can legitimize yourself is by falling into your old patterns, are you still you? if the only way you can survive is by being someone else, are you still you? what matters more, the name or the person you are? can you ever separate yourself from you?

until adam bash tells me i'm barking up the wrong tree, this is what i'll keep thinking about.

YES YES YES YES. theres no answer really or at least i dont have one. we could turn this over and over forever. YES!!!!!!!

congrats to the one surviving sayer mix on 8tracks

glados sick with jealousy over the sayerhale situation

[kamil-a]

i do often spare a sad thought for those who dont like sayerhale like i think bc of his blankslateness its perfectly reasonable to interpret him as upset and scared instead of loyal and to see the like #1 big fandom ship as unquestionably uncomfortable and problematic..... like rip if you dont like sayerhale
