#hivecore

hive by mark walden is the best kids book series ever because you get to say things like ‘omg this is just like when otto killed mitt romney’ and it’s not a joke because there is actually an extended scene where the main protagonist does, in fact, deliberately murder a pastiche of former united states senator for utah willard mitt romney

enough ‘does otto 2.0 still have the supercomputer microchip’ discourse. do you think otto managed to forgive hivemind for bringing him back in the first place. do you think he woke up angry. do you think he woke up scared. a boy born with his fate already decided and even in death he couldn’t have his autonomy respected. one minute you’re blowing yourself up to save the world and the next minute you’re alive and naked in a body that looks like your old one but just isn’t, a body that so easily could’ve been another version of you, one with its own consciousness, one that might have been born hating you, one you and your memories replaced. wouldn’t that just be like killing a brother. wouldn’t that fuck you up forever.

every time i hit my vape i think of penny richards-lancaster Word of God vaping . #MISSHER

why yes i AM always thinking about otto being the only person to notice raven was under animus in zero hour. i AM always thinking about his desperate ‘i was saved. she can be too’ when even nero thought it was better to mercy kill her. ‘she’s the one with no choice,’ he says, despite being the one who was born with his fate already decided. one sacrificial lamb trying to protect another. sick to my stomach mark walden you know what you did
