robot au that i started for my own selfish reasons and now i kinda have a story for? adding previous drawings so it can all be together.

explanation of the au below ig?

ok time for me to be completely transparent with you all, i just like robots, ford is one of my fav characters, fiddleford is engineer, boom gay robot story. it took me a while to actually think of a kinda "story" for this au, it still kinda doesn't have one, very much just a concept and aesthetic. just one rewatch of Ghost in the Shell made me want to come back to this.

but the long and short of it is: setting: future? robotically advanced 1980s? si-fi robotic future with a 1980s aesthetic over it.

STAN-13Y (stan) and STAN-F0RD (ford) were made ~30 years ago, they were both malfunctions in the eyes of their creators. stan with his programing and ford with his misprint (an extra finger on both hands). they were made for one purpose, to make millions helping the world. while ford pursued that goal since his programing was seemingly "normal", stan was thrown out for "not having any use for his program". but ford was a lot more human then people let on, only feared that those emotions he was feeling was another malfunction just like his brother. he kept it in. eventually he went off to continue his studies on his own (was trusted to do so). on the way he found B1LL a program he trusted to be downloaded into his own, it was in fact a virus. And a trusted engineer he met that works for his creators company, fiddleford mcgucket.

now heres a screenshot of a pinterest board thats the kinda vibe i was trying to go for

little scared to post this cause i feel it might be cringe but WHATEVER!!!! IM HAVING FUN!!!!

"Megamind as an influencer sounds terrible"

In the prequel comic #Megamind projects himself live during a kidnapping where he sits Roxanne down in front of a TV to play VHS recordings of previous battles with Metro Man (and of course, her) so everyone can see how great he is

Like literally the entire prequel comic is just Megamind peacocking around Roxanne to show off to her with old recorded footage of himself while the city watches. ANYWAY. Like y'all, the movie literally introduces Megamind's current-day dynamic with Metro Man with him projecting his bigass head in front of everyone in the city. And then he does it AGAIN to Metro Man directly because heaven forbid anyone isn't looking at what he's doing

Megamind's entire existence is running around being flashy and loud and out there like this, genuinely HOW is this a shock to people,

Also he's still like this in Button of Doom, the short that came out in 2011, because I know some of y'all weren't paying attention. Btw: the short focuses on Megamind realizing that he doesn't have to be like Metro Man to be a hero himself so like, expect that theme to continue.

Anyway looking forward to more Megamind stuff in 2024 because I'm not fucking boring and I understand Megamind is supposed to be a big loveable dork and a huge attention whore. ✨

I need him so dependent on me to feel alive that he cries when I don't kick him.

[fanby-fckry]

Hey, remember when I said I was sad because I don’t dress up like I used to, anymore?

Well…

Felt cute, might delete later, etc. etc.

Also, I need to get my hands on some clippers; you can barely call this an undercut at this point, lol.

medium vs message vs subject

tw for for discussion of depression, mental illness and suicide.

I had a Not Great reaction to a New Yorker Cartoon, lol. Gave me a lot of thoughts and feelings, so I decided to write about them here.

(Image description: a black and white drawing posted on Instagram. In the drawing, a man plays fetch with his dog, both of which are accompanied by a thought bubble. In the man's thought bubble, it says "I love how he finds joy in the little things." In the dog's thought bubble, it says, "The emotional burden of alleviating his depression is crushing me." End description.)

I had a pretty visceral reaction to this cartoon. At the lowest points of my depression, "my loved ones are crushed by the burden of caring for me" was a regular, invasive thought, and the thought that immediately followed was, "they would be better off without me."

These thoughts were suicidal ideation. Seeing a cartoon use my suicidal ideation as a punchline, particularly in such a way that affirms the ideation? Felt like a gut-punch.

I left a comment saying this, with the addition of: "I'm not saying jokes about this topic cannot be made. They certainly can be. But they need to be better than this one."

Most of the replies agreed that the cartoon was insensitive. But one person asked: "don’t you think the fact that it’s a dog, who couldn’t possibly think that, means the cartoon is calling this pattern of thought you’re talking about absurd?"

To which I replied:

"I understand what the joke is saying perfectly well. What I'm saying is that the way the joke is presented gave me (and evidently others) an involuntary trauma response. It's presented without sympathy or sensitivity for those having these types of thoughts. There's no real commentary on the nature of suicidality beyond "this is an absurd thing to think." It comes across as mean-spirited. I'm not saying that was the cartoonist's intent. I'm just saying what my experience with the cartoon is. And before anyone jumps in with "it's not that deep" - single gag cartoons are not that deep, but suicidality very much is. A single gag cartoon cannot be as sensitive and nuanced as the subject warrants, resulting in a not great joke."

I kinda hate when you critique something, and someone comes in with what ultimately amounts to be "you just didn't get it."

Like, I did get it. I still didn't like it. Why? Because the joke sucks.

I know that suicidal ideation manifests in absurd thoughts. I think we all kinda know that. But what is the cartoon saying beyond that? What is it saying about the absurdity? Not a whole lot. The joke is just "mentally ill people sure are crazy!"

Yeah dude, we know.

Make a better joke! Say something more! Say it with the sensitivity and nuance the subject deserves! Say it through a medium that allows you to do that!

"But, but if the artist's intent isn't to be mean and reductive, then--"

Shut up. Shut up. It doesn't matter. Someone didn't mean too stomp on your toe, but your toe still fuckin hurts, and the person responsible for that hurt is still the person who did the stomping.

unironically, telling myself “you are not a unique specimen of humanity” has become the most helpful mantra, as a neurodivergent trans kid whose teen years were (technically have been) spent feeling like some kind of extinct animal dropped into a close-but-not-quite-right ecosystem.

you are not uniquely awkward or strange or embarrassing. everyone struggles to communicate, to express themselves. everyone messes up. the cashier at the store has seen six people try to push a pull door or drop their change or what have you. it’s fine.

you are not uniquely smart or knowledgeable or enthusiastic, even about things that matter a lot to you. other people can know things and get things right and be excited, and you can even be wrong, and it doesn’t mean anything. it does not take away from you.

you are not uniquely unequipped for life. a lot of people struggle with things that should be simple. a lot of people can’t keep to schedules, or forget important tasks, or just plain need help sometimes. we’re social animals. there are a lot of skills involved in making it to the end of the week, and not everyone gets taught them all, or even the same ones.

you are not uniquely tortured. sure, your exact experience might be strictly yours, but broadly speaking? there is a name for what you’re experiencing. there is a community. if it is distressing you or harming your daily function, there is help. you are not alone.

you are not a unique specimen of humanity.

Don’t normally post really serious stuff (well I don’t MEAN to) and this is so random but like. My moms autistic, and I adore her. And like being raised by her has given me the most valuable tools I’ll ever have. Like I’d be a significantly more shitty person if I’d been raised by a neurotypical woman.

Anyway I’m just posting that cause I feel like the world isn’t filled with enough love for autistic people, and I’d just like to throw my two cents in.
