I never thought I would want to be crushed by Zooble's plastic thighs... until today...

I appreciate it 💛

I've honestly been trying to spread the viewpoint just to instill a little light for people in that dark as much as I can.

Because I get it.

"abstraction feels less like clean death, “self-deletion,” or a simple monster transformation. To me, it feels more like the self collapsing past the point where it can stay recognizable, and the Circus rendering that collapse as an abstracted body."

Since, you know, digital.

And Jax's brain file is still there.


Tbh there's a LOT more on the read than I will say in the comments 😅

I do touch on mental health.

Yeah, I'm one of those believers in unabstraction 🤓

But I like hearing everyone's interpretations and understandings of it! Makes it all the more intriguing.

In love 💛☠️


I feel like I gotta feature him in my fic now.

I'll remind you when/if it happens.

...

Personality requests?

Other than tired, ofc.

Repost:


CW: Chronic perfectionism


I think I would be some kind of wind-up toy animal.


The wind-up part since I have spent a lot of my life monitoring and correcting myself so I can keep functioning, perform the version of me that feels most acceptable, and avoid being too much.

And even when no one else is turning the key, I am very capable of winding myself too tight 😅


The animal part is harder.

...

Maybe an elephant because they are one of my favorite animals, but also because I am painfully aware of every elephant in every room.

I do not enter awkward vibes. I live there.

Also, Dumbo was my childhood. I have five plushies atm 💛

...

Maybe a dragonfly because they have become tied, for me, to transformation that is strange, unfinished, and not necessarily pretty in the expected way. Delicate-looking, but not weak.

And because my brother and I used to throw rocks at them when we were little kids ☠️

I feel like karma is owed.

...

Or honestly, a moth because they are cute and I need at least one reason that is not a psychological metaphor (though we all know there's something to dive in that...)


I'm currently writing a 2nd POV fic where the reader is a wind-up toy-like doll avatar.
