Okay but can we talk about the innate North Starness of ghost coded characters? The presence of an absence that begs to be filled. To even be ghosts at all someone else has to keep getting caught up in their memory, often following the “north” they leave behind, a fixed direction born of narrative death and reconstruction. Of how that character and their impact on the story is understood, what their leaving motivates others to do in their wake. When the memory of a character and their actions becomes this involuntary guiding light, pulling others down a path of revenge, redemption, heroism, living up to impossible standards, etc. They don’t even actually need to be dead either. Ghosts that don’t want to be followed. Ghosts that fought for the exact opposite of what their followers pursue. Ghosts that may be able to be saved. Ghosts that need to be let go. Ghosts afforded freedom by their disappearance. Ghosts that condemn their peers for coming along with them, even if it means being alone. To become direction amid uncertainty by haunting the narrative, whatever they originally wanted.
Anyways.

I love divine machinery. The concept that divine beings like angels are made of something so manmade yet so foreign is so intetesting. The angels sing in binary and glow in green and blue and red. They are cold with wires for intestines and motherboards for brains but they are closer to god than we ever will be and are all that is holy and pure because they are programmed that way

Had a dream that I was listening to The Bifrost Incident, and everything seemed normal until the album got to the spoken interlude in "Thor." Instead of her actual response, Odin accused Thor of being ungrateful and insubordinate after she went to such trouble to save his life, with her lines heavily implying that Thor was actually Arthur from High Noon Over Camelot (which, yeah, I can see how you could get the name "Thor" from "Arthur") and that Odin had kept him alive after finding his escape pod and wiped most of his memories with the intent of using him as a blank slate she could mold into her perfect successor. Unfortunately, I woke up before I could hear how the rest of the album played out after that reveal.
Putting on a podcast while you cook is all fun and games until you're sobbing into the spaghetti sauce.
The Blue Wind from the Fairyland series u will always be famous to me (also just one chance pls)
No offense but I think some of you would be a lot happier writing a fictional atlas or encyclopedia instead of a narrative story
Falin ur so so so silly,
we as a fandom need to focus more on the fact that the bots helped raise literally every generation of walters after col walter like?? i feel like people just gloss over/ignore that but its just SUCH a good relationship dynamic. every single walter grew up thinking of the bots as like super cool uncles/aunts that take them out for icecream and are FAMOUS (read: get stares because they are literal robots) then they grow up like. oh. these guys are stupid actually and should really not be allowed out the house without adult supervision. but do it anyways because meeh they've been at it 20/50/70/100 years, whats the worst that could happen? (a lot. a lot could happen. it keeps getting worse)
