Vortexed rbs

a dive into V2 more, because despite wanting to include more of them in the comic, i'll admit that I always did so on a whim when I realized what I wanted to base the AU off of (The album of the same name).

more stupid idiots who don't comprehend a simple concept such as "human emotions" in the way a normal person does.

mostly started as me wanting to play around with gab's wing colors but also practice a bit more on writing v1's dialogue.

I don't think v1 would actually fully comprehend things like touch or other senses because there was no need to implement such a thing in it's OS. All v1 sees is a simple reward system that even the most basic trained AI implements. Of course, in the comic it starts off as blood, the bare minimum for v1's needs... but it grows into needing Gabriel's attention like the sopping wet insect it is.

Hi I had to exorcise this extremely stupid comic from my brain

This is what's called a poetic epithet, and it happens all the time in writing. Consider, for example, Homer and his wine-dark sea, or Shakespeare and his death-mark'd love.

If you were then to start using them instead of the word they're describing, you'd be making a kenning. For example, if instead of describing the sun as honey-bright, you said "the honey-drop in the sky". Kennings are best known from Norse writings, like "the path of serpents" for gold, or "Grímnir's lip-streams" for poetry itself.

◡ – / ◡ – / ◡ – / ◡ – / ◡ – The sun / was ho/ney-bright / that af/ternoon

an illustration that language and its associated rules exist to lift up human expression and not to hinder it (and are both constantly changing and maintaining helpful usage to suit the needs of the moment),

as well as a devastating reminder that whenever you think you’re doing something new and oh-so-scandalously inventive, it was probably actually the well-trodden pasttime of a glorified theater kid several thousand years ago.

Hi hi! Ehehe...I deleted my old blog after some stuff but I later remade it under the same name. So, even though "desultory-novice" is still here, all the old stuff is going to be dead links, I'm afraid...

But while I'm not huge on reposting a lot of stuff, I'm still fond enough of that particular comic that I'm willing to repost it. So, good call? 😆

Plus a poetic quote about this piece from a friend:

She’s a little messy but I think this is turning out pretty good so far!!!

Pepsis grossa.

you hate the wasp for it's nature.
