also, you can technically make your ao3 page look aesthetically pretty by applying your own customized skin/layouts on your own ao3 page. according to people who use their own customized skins, it’s easy once you learn how to do it (I personally don’t know how to do it because I’m not interested in learning or applying any fancy skin, and I just use dark mode there) it may not be as easy as decorating twitter or wattpad layout, but that’s because the purpose of ao3 is to archive fanworks, not to be a place for users to show their aesthetic layouts.

once again, ao3 is a non-profit organization, an anti-censorship archive/library that welcomes all kinds of fanfics/fanworks. it doesn’t prioritize “looking aesthetically pretty” because looking aesthetically pretty like a social media platform has never been relevant to its purpose.

Whumpee feeling distressed without the familiarity of pain. Whumpee deciding to hurt themselves just to relive the experience and feel something again that isn't absolute apathy. Whumpee forcing themselves to remember all the horrible memories and touch all the sensitive spots just to cry again to remember what it is like.

Caregiver trying to insist that even just reminding themselves of the pain experiences is akin to self harm, and whumpee doing it anyways, in secret, guilty, aware that it's wrong but unable to hold back.

The WRU website of course lists all the currently available boxies, filterable by physical type or personality or price, but the big draw is advertised by the banner at the top of every page. It says Build Your Perfect Pet! in big friendly letters, and the page looks like the character creation screen of a well made video game. Mix and match gender, body type, coloration and personality. Long hair? Curly hair? Freckles? They have it all, and if you want something you don’t see just send them a message!

Most people use it to narrow down what kind of pet they want, and then browse from the ready-to-order suggestions. Maybe they pay to add a few more skills to get a little closer to their ideal. The really rich, who want something really specific, order directly off the pet builder. There are no prices listed on this part of the page; if you have to ask, you can’t afford it.

Looking at their hands and feeling like they aren't real and aren't theirs.

Always feeling dizzy.

Thinking back at the whump and feeling like it was a dream.

Caretaker mentioning what happened to whumpee and they suddenly feel like they are no longer in their body.

Eyes darting to different objects in the room, feeling like non of it is real and they aren't really there.

A strange tingling sensation in their arms and legs.

A foggy memory of the whump, maybe not remembering it at all.

Falling back in old conditioned behavior without even realizing it is happening.

Spending hours just staring at the wall, unable to move or do anything.

Vision going blurry.

Snapping an elastic band against their wrist to get themselves back in their body. Maybe even self harm.

Not realizing they are crying until caretaker points it out.

Losing their ability to speak or think.

Having a memory resurface and then immediately forgetting it again, like a mist suddenly took over their brain.

Having a memory resurface but forgetting it the moment they try to speak it out loud, frustrating both themselves and caregiver.

Being clumsy, knocking things over, accidentally running into walls or doors or tables because they aren't aware where their body is.

Someone being Prisoner 3855 could mean nothing, but what if they seem to be the only remaining person with a number in the -800s? What happened to the others that they alone managed to survive?

Or, if living weapon training fails/kills most of its recruits, then the numbers the weapons are assigned will rapidly outpace the actual population. Imagine a dormitory of two dozen trainees with fifty numbers left empty between the oldest and youngest. Even if the bunks in the room are full, the space must be overwhelmed with ghosts.

On the other end of the spectrum, numbers that are too low. You are now 003. The things that are happening to you are unprecedented. They waste ink on an extra two zeros in the hopes to keep doing this for years.

For the time being it is TOGGLEABLE and you can TURN IT OFF!

However, we do not know if Twitch will force this to be on at all times like some other platforms, like X/Twitter, have previously done.

Regardless of IF YOU STREAM OR NOT you should TURN THIS "TRAINING FOR GENERATIVE AI" SETTING OFF IMMEDIATELY!

To do so you must go to: https://www.twitch.tv/settings/security

And then scroll all the way down near the bottom.

There you'll find the "Training for Generative Ai" setting, toggle it to OFF!

Be sure to keep sending messages to Twitch that you do NOT want this to exist.
