Stardate: 2025.10.13 - "Natural Taming"

The world of our Great Mother of all shouldn't be tamed but rather we should be. 🙏

I did think it'd be fun to poke him around. Because I could. Because he asked "do you want to repeat that, princess?" And I did. Because he asked. And then I was filling 2 sheets of paper with the lines Sir asked me to write, 52 in total. My hand hurt a bit at the end of it. I signed them by name, that I truly did do all the things Sir was punishing me for. Atleast I can own my misbehavior and punishment, if not my pleasure.

He asked me to tear it out of the notebook and lay them nicely on the bed and then trample them with my feet. Standing on the bed, my cheeks reddened, hearing the pages crinkle. What was I doing?

I couldn't dare disobey though, Sir had warned me that if I push it too far he might choose to ignore me altogether. I don't know what I'd do if he did that.

I had a feeling Sir would make me push my face into the crumpled sheets of paper while counting down from 52. My heart raced, I couldn't believe I was about to do this. My feet were just there. But then don't I also belong near his feet? It helped when I imagined his foot pushing my head further into the sheets of paper. Why did that ease my humiliation, when it should've worsened?

Just when I thought it's done, and it couldn't get worse, he told me to shove the papers in my mouth. Took three deep breaths before I did as he asked. Because how could I not? And I showed him how stupid I looked with the papers stuffed in my mouth. He told me not to chew them or get them moist. But of course I got them moist. In fact, I was basically drooling all over them, and on the floor. Because I couldn't stop it. Because Sir asked me to crawl to the bathroom mirror.

With my mouth stuffed and my brain hazy with the urge to be good, I stared at my reflection in the mirror. What stared back at me was a dumb slut being put in her place. I slapped myself, twice. Because Sir asked me to. And because I couldn't do it right the first time, he asked me to do it again. I still remember the warmth in my cheek. Was that the slap? Or was that just humiliation? I can't tell.

It's done now, right? But Sir reminded me I'd already messed up carrying out this task. I'd made the paper in my mouth moist, and he'd told me explicitly not to. For that, he made me wet my hands. And slap myself again, 4 more times.

Cheeks burned harder, but he told me I was doing well. Nothing at that moment mattered more than being his obedient slut. So when he asked me to spit the papers out, one by one, right onto the stupid whore's face in the mirror, I did so. I looked her in the eye, and I swear she'd have done anything to please her Superior in that moment, to make it upto him, apologise.

But he was pleased. He said I did well, and made me flush the papers down the toilet, to "send my bratty and disobedient behavior down the gutter," and that I can crawl back into my bed like the bitch I am.

And I did. Weirdly content. Why did I brat out in the first place? Perhaps to get put in place. Perhaps I'll do it again. Because I can.

Animator Vs Animation and Oneshot both have concepts of AI being “tamed”, but have different ways they’re carried out.

Chosen being tamed meant he was a prisoner and he wasn’t treated well at all. If it weren’t for him being trapped, the “taming” wouldn’t stick. Later Chosen has a chance and frees himself, fighting back against Alan again.

But in Oneshot taming means someone took the time to become friends and care about the robots, and it sticks because they want it to. This type of taming somehow allows them to break out of their programming. They’re “tamed” by friendship because someone cares about them. They probably don’t have to follow the Laws of Robotics anymore (the three laws are brought up in the game).

ProphetBot says there wasn’t time to tame him, since everyone was evacuating the area. He was left behind and I don’t think becomes tamed during the game (but potentially does or could be after it’s over).

Alan tamed Chosen by force. I don’t know what it would’ve been like if Alan had been able to calm Chosen down or talk to him. Chosen started destroying Alan’s desktop, which I think is because he couldn’t control his powers. Maybe there was no chance to talk to Chosen. He might not have wanted to listen even before Alan started fighting him. Definitely didn’t want to after Alan caught him.

Maybe if there had been more time, it could’ve been possible to tame Chosen without force. The programmer seemed to be pretty optimistic about whatever way he had to stop Chosen—whatever it was. We probably won’t know exactly.

Maybe catching Chosen and disabling his powers, which Alan did on his own. After the antivirus program caught Chosen, Alan may have contacted the programmer again and was able to hear the advice this time.

But I wonder, if Alan and Chosen had become friends, maybe Chosen would’ve been able to grow past his “destructive Chosen One” programming. Alan wouldn’t have drawn Dark to stop Chosen since there would be no need.

Chosen would’ve gradually warmed up to Alan over time, becoming friends with him despite the rough start, because Alan cared and tried to make up for everything. Alan would’ve felt bad for making Cho a Chosen One, realizing how scared and confused he probably was and not just destructive. Alan realized it was hard to be a Chosen One and that he should’ve been more responsible and not creating a Stick just for fun.

Though I guess Alan might’ve decided to draw Chosen a friend after a while, and it would’ve been Dark. Maybe even Orange some time down the line. Chosen at first would be wary, not liking Alan drew Sticks just to be his friends, just a different way of seeing what would happen when making a new Stick (why he’s initially angry when Reconfigured Dark draws Macaroni and accidentally brings him to life). But Chosen would be glad to have Dark and later Orange as friends, and Alan knew he wanted other Stick friends.
