Tumblr media
She is offering water to any lost travelers! However, it's so hot that the water has become tea, so she's adjusted accordingly!
#neopets#neotag#neoart#kiko#slorg#aquanutart#this was for a western themed beauty contest last year! it was very fun! :D i'm so happy we were able to be part of it!#and by 'very fun' i mean it's completely exhausting and i can only handle participating once or twice a year#but it is very exciting too! she gave tea to everyone who stopped by. she was very happy to be able to help so many visitors!#i actually forgot until i checked whether this was from one or two years ago... my sense of time as an adult is --- *waves hand vaguely*#i'm so sorry for all the messages i didn't answer. specifically to the user who sent me a really kind message out of the blue#about how they got the slugawoo avvie from my quiggle's lookup. i didn't even know you could get the avvie from his lookup#so i was very happy to find out!! and i was happy there might be more people getting the avvie from his lookup i didn't know about#and i wanted to tell them how absolutely happy it made me and my brain said ' you should respond to this right away or you won't do it'#and i thought you fool. of course i'll make sure to do something this important#and i kept thinking about it for the past year and thinking i will do it. i will do it#but when i thought about writing the words that were floating in my mind the whole time i would feel blocked#this happens all the time and i'm sorry. it really does make me so happy#and then they deleted all the neomails but thankfully i had it saved so i still was able to find their username and send a message thankyou#i'm very glad

TD World Tour Alenoah AU... Where Noah is immune to Alejandro's fake charm... Instead, Noah gets charmed by the true Alejandro's quirks and dorky interests like dinosaurs and puppets... How would Alejandro feel about Noah only liking Alejandro, when Alejandro is being himself?... Especially since Alejandro's family shuns him for being himself? 🦕🦖🦕
Now you're speaking my language.
One of the most common running themes in all/near enough all Alenoah central AUs is having Noah be the first person to see past Alejandro's persona and actually appreciate the person he is, or at the very least prefer the real Alejandro to his mask of perfection. It's one of the draws of the ship itself; the idea that Noah, being the blunt person that he is, can and will wage a war of attrition against the walls Alejandro has built up around himself- not just to keep others out, but also to repress the more authentic aspects of himself to himself- in order to reveal the person beneath.
I touched on this a little bit in a previous post concerning this AU, but Alejandro and Noah both see glimpses of the other that they try so valiantly to hide- in Noah's case, Alejandro sees hints of the scheming mindset he's pretty much supressed under layers of apathy and sloth (as Noah's laziness is one of his biggest character foils, alongside his snarky attitude), and in Alejandro's case he reveals tid bits of information about the Real Alejandro, not the persona he's usually portraying himself as, which is enough to humanise him in Noah's eyes.
They both become People Of Interest in each other's eyes, because they're both puzzles to be solved. Alejandro's curious and competitive to a fault so he'd dedicate himself to unravelling the layers behind Noah's stony exterior, as he'd see Noah's continued distance as a challenge. That's a given. But the topic at hand here is Noah's interest in Alejandro.
Because Noah's not exactly competitive, so why would he be so interested in unveiling the real Alejandro? That's simple; Noah values authenticity. Look at his friendship group, it consists of people who are unapologetically themselves. Noah is also unapologetically himself, in all of his sarcastic glory. So of course he's see flickers of the real, authentic Alejandro and his natural inquisitiveness would be piqued- a novelty for him, as Noah's staunch apathy generally tends to override any semblance of curiosity.
So Noah goes out of his way to make notes of the small interests Alejandro offhandedly mentions at one point or another, like palaeontology or puppetry or even his fifteen-step skincare routine- things that Alejandro shows genuine excitement or passion over that shines through the cracks of his perfect persona. He sees the dorky giddiness Alejandro experiences when Noah lets him ramble on about how Jurassic Park was incredibly inaccurate from a scientific standpoint but monumental for people's interest in palaeontology (or something along those lines, I don't know I'm not a dinosaur nerd) and suddenly the annoyingly flirtatious faker he's spent the better half of his time on the jet is A Whole Ass Person with interests and passions and a sense of depth he's been so bereft of until now. Suddenly Alejandro's more than just the antagonist of the show Noah's working on, he's an interesting person that the bookworm finds himself wanting to know more about. And, perhaps, he finds himself growing genuinely fond of the person behind the mask.
And he uses those notes to prompt Alejandro into sharing more of himself, the real authentic Alejandro, in the privacy of their interactions.
At first, Alejandro's fairly oblivious to what Noah's doing, since he's so caught up in his own enjoyment of Noah's company plans to essentially do the same to Noah that he barely notices his own tricks being used against him.
Of course, he's also just elated at being able to infodump to someone who isn't outright penalising him for doing so; not that I think Alejandro is even aware that what he's doing is infodumping, nor the fact that he's so obviously autistic, because his family is a particular brand of awful that would never let him get a proper diagnoses and in all likelihood forced him to mask/supress his symptoms.
It isn't until Alejandro realises that he's shared a lot of information about himself that he (as a Burromuerto) is expected to keep close to his chest, and he sees the glimmers of satisfaction in Noah's intelligent eyes, that the archvillain catches on to the fact that he's been played. But the thing that really catches him off-guard isn't the trickery, it's the fact that Noah's done nothing with the uncharacteristic displays of vulnerability.
Alejandro can't understand why Noah hasn't taken advantage of his "weakness" yet. Inevitably leading to him confronting the assistant, as Alejandro isn't the type to "let sleeping dogs lie" so to speak, and he's still very much so in the one-track mindset of winning the competition- thus he assumes that any show of vulnerability can and will lead to his untimely elimination. But when he practically demands that Noah reveal what he's been planning, why he's been sneakily collecting information on him, all Noah can do is shrug his shoulders and say;
"I guess I just like seeing the real you. That's all."
And Alejandro doesn't know how to respond to that. No one's ever wanted the real him, he's always had to play the role of the perfect son, the perfect brother. He doesn't understand.
And like most people when they're faced with a foreign concept they have no basis of behaviour for, he lashes out.

an ii/su crossover would be fun just for the trichotomy of light-based beings. inorganic light/organic light/whatever the ii contestants are
#wheucto#wheucto speaks#ii spoilers#ii 16 spoilers#for the mechanics of how i'd make the crossover work i'd have SU and II take place on the same planet_ where gems are the same but humans -#- are now objects instead. and whatever changes that entails#i'd say the world is mostly however it is in SU with companies from II... don't think II has much else to contribute there#NEways about the light-based beings trichotomy.#first off_ ii contestants are probably like some sort of hologram thing? since the way mp4 generates objects (animate or otherwise) -#- is probably because of the one shimmer that cobs abducted.#anyways. gems are created for a specific purpose. they only sort of share this with the contestants_ who may be made to act a certain way -#- but are still able to grow and change. the exact details of their creation is Unclear. and mephone mightve not created them consciously#- but he does seem to want them to be a certain way_ though they have certainly changed from their original states of being#on the other hand_ shimmers are definitely organic beings. they seem to reproduce: they have younger members of their species. they grow -#- and change. no shimmer was created for any specific reason (probably) they just... live. they Are. like humans Are#gems are definitely inorganic. a stated fact. they're closer to robots_ really.#but the contestants are in this weird inbetween state. they're made of organic light. they're made to be like a physical_ organic people. -#- but they're made by a robot. created by code. they even glitch!#also the gems and shimmers are aliens. would they have met? maybe#i heard in SU intelligent organic life is super rare - though for this AU we can just ignore that <3#since shimmers are pretty advanced its possible that the gems me them and decided not to like attack them (too much trouble or smth)#maybe a little abduction to test the shimmers' organic light. i'd seem them do something like that

i just thought of this but like
it's a different ~vibe~ but if you enjoy planet of the bass a french youtuber (the number one french youtuber actually but anyway) alongside two of his friends made a very affectionate parody of... basically dragostea din tei LMFAO, but the vibe is perfect
youtube
they got someone to actually teach them correct romanian for it and everything, they also made a follow-up song recently that's also very in-line with that era's vibes
youtube
also only tangentially related but i was obsessed with this cover of time time in a completely different mood it's in my slawcs playlist in my heart. anyway yeah just wanted to rep this i guess

how exactly did nova & paro make optico??? a shape shifting robot sounds pretty difficult to make for a 14/15 yo kid, even if hes super talented with robotics. or is this a normal thing in the UE universe??
i honeslty don't know how to explain this one because i haven't entirely thought it through myself :_:,,, but the main part of optico that makes his abilities 'believeable' per se is that he was made from an old computer! the only parts that were actually properly built by paro were his transformation forms (only hammer and roller skates in the beginning of the series), which were rudimentary at first and were eventually upgraded and worked on as he and nova improved at robotics and designing. also bringing some seriously unrealistic sci-fi into the mix, but i think maybe optico has some sort of compartment that compresses the parts unique to certain transformations inside of him, which is why he's so small

Hi, I am up at 2 AM. I think was actually onto something from a previous post.
Tumblr media
I was going back to some parts of The Dark Forest to grab quotes and I saw this:
Together, the 5,500 crewmembers were like an infant who had been cut from its cord, then cruelly tossed into the abyss of space. Like that infant, there nothing they could do but cry. Yet Zhang Beihai’s calm eyes were a strong force field that upheld the stability of the formation and helped them maintain their military poise. Children cast aside into the endless night needed a father most of all, and now, like Dongfang Yanxu, they found the power of that father in the person of this ancient soldier.
#transmission from the captain#(i was specifically wondering about the idea of choice regarding chu yan and the transition from the lack of it to providing it)#(headcanon territory but i was ruminating on the potential absence of choice with him due to his upbringing)#(the way he might have grown up in the space fleet as part of the new generation of soldiers highlights that possibility)#(while beihai notes that a difference between the new soldiers is how they base their decisions based on possible outcomes)#(as opposed to performing duty regardless of the outcomes)#(which there's a difference between outcomes and the means to get here alongside if the outcomes are actually reached)#(some outcomes are unavailable to you and there's other outcomes that have many options to get there)#(the backdrop of war and crisis definitely eliminated many outcomes for space faring humans)#(which the imagery of an infant in the abyss of space coincides with that in a way and the idea of being raised for this crisis)#(this is all general stuff about the space fleet and speculation rather than chu yan himself so let's get to that)#(what i find interesting is how he didn't give the option of returning to earth at first but then gave it after the broadcast)#(which! the idea of new choices! beihai said it himself in his iconic scene!)#(“...could we have made this choice before? absolutely not. but now we can make it...”)#(how new choices pertain to outcomes is that what is /perceived/ as impossible turns out to be possible which opens up new decisions)#(the way chu yan gave the choice of the group vote with the broadcast too which was something that couldn't be done on earth)#(you can tell i've been listening to zhou shen's 人是 quite a bit haha but it really fits chu yan though [at least how i interpret him])#(“you can destroy everything I hold dear / but you still can't rob me of my choice” <- lyrics from zhou shen's song)#(which ough... that really makes his revenge against trisolaris really gratifying with that in mind actually)#(because i discuss this in an upcoming post about the reason why the swordholder role was a lone position was moral responsibility and risk#(which making that a choice when that wasn't available before highlights the development of decisions humanity can make and morality)#(in this instance- he is not only avenging for the death of his comrades [people he could have grown up with!!])#(but he is also rectifying the choices that were robbed from humanity in a way)#(however this is also a taste of the new morals humanity will have to develop but chu yan has a thing about distributing responsibility)#(which actually does add to the idea of metaphorical parentalhood)#(rather than just plunging humanity into newfound morals- he is cultivating this development slowly through!! choice!!)#(which lessens the moral burden overall for everyone)#(anyways the next post will be about chuzhang and their differences in how they tackle morals)#(because chu yan focuses more on distribution and making responsibility a contested matter [see: defensive vs offensive])#(while beihai tries to make responsibility solely on himself)

''Gen AI is the future it's a tool that's been invented an therefore it is inevitable''
Ok cool. Have we learned fucking nothing from the industrial revolution regarding tools created to make things ''easier'' actually leading to very few if ANY net positives in the long run.
No actually I don't give a flying fuck if you think forming a single creative thought is too hard Kyle, look at the downward spiral that the quality of clothing alone has gone down since the advent of the sewing machine, nevermind the millions upon millions of tons of fabric waste generated every year and fucking tell me that gross mass production has had ANY positive effects on us as a species or for the planet as a whole. And no fueling materialism and the modern desire to own 200 constantly replaceable shitty things instead of 20-30 lifelong quality things just because the option is there is in fact not a good thing.

my tags on the post i just reblogged got me thinking so here’s my current stream of consciousness
#i refer to ages 12-16 as my ‘church girl era’ bc that’s when i got really deep into christianity#like i went to church twice a week (regular sessions on sundays small groups on tuesdays) and to church events trips camps etc all the time#i even got baptized when i was 13 bc my siblings and i weren’t baptized as babies#like church was such a huge part of my life but i think it only became that bc of the specific church i went to#it was a nondenominational church and the environment was very chill for lack of a better word#and the social aspect of it was really what got me into the actual religion#i HATED going there when we first moved here bc i didn’t know anyone and i was so painfully shy#then in middle school i made a bunch of friends who went to the same church and suddenly it was so fun#that’s when i started going on tuesdays bc we would play games and have contests and stuff like that before the actual small groups#so it felt more like a club my friends and i were in than a church#but once i had those friends and i was comfortable being there i genuinely started to get more invested in christianity#bc i was actually paying attention to the sermons instead of just thinking about how anxious i was the whole time#so by the time i started high school i was very actively christian for the first time in my life#but somehow i drifted away from it just as easily as i fell into it#i started playing lacrosse when i was 15 and we had practice most weeknights so i couldn’t go to small groups anymore#and then our church merged with a bigger church in the area so we became a new branch of that church instead of a little community church#and the merger changed so much about the way the church operated that a ton of people just stopped going entirely including me#and it only took a few months for me to realize that i just didn’t really believe any of it or feel connected to it anymore#and idk even years later i still have love for a lot of those people and that part of my life#but it’s interesting how as soon as i lost that social community the church gave me i was completely disconnected from the religion itself#and at this point in my life i can’t see myself ever identifying as a christian again partly bc i just can’t get myself to believe in god#and partly bc of all the awful christians out there although i firmly believe there are still so many christians who are good people#for example my church was always accepting of the lgbtq+ community which obviously was and is super important to me#but yeah i just can’t see myself ever being religious again but at the same time i still find myself missing it sometimes even now#the community was clearly a huge part of it for me but it was also such a nice feeling to be so into the faith or wtv you want to call it#like i’ve always known my own values/morals ofc and i also love other forms of spirituality but actual religion is such a unique thing to me#like i don’t want to be christian again but i do miss the feeling of being christian/religious in general if that makes sense#and at least for me there really isn’t any substitute that can give me that same specific feeling which is honestly really sad to me#anyway. idk where i was going with this but if any former christians (or other ex religious people) want to weigh in i’d love your thoughts#lj.txt
