need to string together my thoughts more on this but reeeeeally interesting to see the influx of media - severance, the substance, mickey 17 - centered on the idea of a double/expendable iteration of yourself.
the dehumanization of workers by the way of non-livable wages, unsafe working conditions, and identity based discrimination (and the current removal of dei initiatives), all drive a wedge between our personhood and the value we are prescribed as a member of the workforce. something something the effects of ai and deepfakes already putting people in danger, the way we live and present our lives online vs in reality, there’s a lot to unpack here. but it’s fascinating to see this trope so widely translated as a storytelling vehicle for these ideas, and that this is the story that people are interested in telling.
need That character absolutely delirious with fear. recoiling from everything. unable to parse what's happening around them, their mind stuck in fight or flight. shaking and hyperventilating. completely unconsolable even as they're wrapped in a crushing hug.

people who take media where the entire cast has generic anime sameface and make fanart giving all the characters detailed, distinct, and interesting features with big noses and different eye shapes and varying body types are braver than any US marine and also the backbone of our society
saw this text post the other day and thought it was very Alan-coded
Some illustrations inspired by my favourite pathologic fanfiction ever - Just The Beginning by novaeangliae on ao3. These are not exact scenes from the fic (although heavily inspired!) but more so me trying to capture the amazing vibe of this piece of writing. Even though I am usually a tragedy and sadness lover, this warm fanfiction has really captivated me! If you like pathologic you should really check it out!
