Your daily reminder that the VA for the silly ball is one of the writers for the Office. I like to think he’d get along well with Michael Scott :]

this but on a t-shirt

(tis but a joke, do not read too much into it)

Why does it remind me of him? yes it’s late but happy Halloweekend have a dumb ahh low effort meme as a treat

original:

new idea for a university on-campus bar. Put it in the sciences building and call it “Beer Review”

Look at my favorite bone in the body, the C5 vertebra. Look how happy he is to support you. What a cute and friendly little fella :D

His siblings, C3-C7, are equally as cute (with varying levels of dopey looking “faces”). They want to support you all day so you can hold your head up high!

So remember, no need to feel down; you have a team of four typical C vertebrae (and three atypical) to support you!

Happy MD finale day!!! Here’s some old cosplay photos of my Camper V cosplay!

I’m actually going to be redoing parts of it since I realized the jumpsuit was cropped only the night before and didn’t have time to change it! It was a semi last minute build since I had to grade all my students’ finals literally the same week. But I LOVE LOVE LOVE how the dye on the jumpsuit turned out, the little caution tape leg stripes, and the paint job I did on the claws. The dye job was honestly a bit of a stroke of luck since it was originally black cotton and thought it’d take more than this to get it to the perfect shade. And the height from the stilts!!! AMAZING!!! Really brought the build up to the next level. I was also pretty impressed by my addition of the LEDs in yellow eye headbands and the tails. It was such a fun little challenge! I found an antique longbow that is PERFECT to wear slung across my back for the next time I wear this out and about!

I’ll be getting new arm bracer thingies and claws since they were SO uncomfortable and redoing the tail since I think I have a better plan for it >:) but it was still SO fun to wear around the con! I’m adding some yellow ones of these glasses since I feel like they’ll match the humanized V look I’m going for and might add a boot cover for the stilts to better match the leg shape. Maybe, maybe not… What do you think? :) I’m also going to do a proper photo shoot once I’m finished with the revamp!

Anyways, here’s to hoping for a great ending for this amazing show! And to many more creative endeavors in this fantastic fanbase! (Do NOT repost this elsewhere or use my images at all for AI, content, or any other purposes, either profit or not for profit. Reblogs happily appreciated! :D)

so I took a film and entertainment class once as an elective back in undergrad and stumbled upon my notes today and apparently the midterm was to go and design a theme park land with an E ticket ride, family friendly dark ride, and two restaurants based on some movies the prof had listed. My question is…

no matter what happens with season finale tomorrow, I am most definitely writing some kickass fanfiction

So if you’re at all in the Murder Drones fanbase, chances are you’re feeling a bit cheated right now. The series has had a lack of focus that even its most die-hard fans (such as moi) have noticed. The pace has just been too fast for it to really get down into character motives other than some basics and feels like it throws out more red herrings than real concrete answers. (Stay with me here.)

While I don’t know what Glitch, Vickers, or the team has planned for the finale, I can confidently say this. I feel like the series’s greatest flaw can also be its greatest strength for keeping the fan base alive after the finale. Yes, there’s a lot of red herrings, yes, there’s a lack of focus, yes, some of the characters don’t feel very fleshed out. But that gives us a wonderful opportunity to get to do that ourselves. It gives us a space and the freedom to be able to create what we want without half the fanbase going “NUH uh!1!”. Believe me, I’ve been in plenty of fanbases that while the source material is sound, well thought out, and executed flawlessly, it kind of left the fandom with little to play with when it came to worldbuilding, and when someone HAS tried to go and put their own personal spin on a character, portion of the story, or lore, people come out from the woodworks and dogpile on them. I personally think Murder Drones is in a perfect “problem” of the opposite. When there’s missing chunks to the story, that gives us plenty of room to reimagine the story with our own creative spin. I think that this’ll give the folks who’ve come to love MD a place to stay and a community to keep on creating in for a while to come. Yes, I’m sad it’s coming to an official end, but I think this will drive those of us who love it and care to create more amazing things that keep this series alive. Dare I say, more alive than ever before.

So in short, while I personally worry about this finale, remember, fellas, this gives the fanbase a place to shine ;)

P-Body and Atlas just spamming the “I love you” and “mom” buttons while GLaDOS SWEARS she didn’t add them and doesn’t know where they can from 😭😂

Portal 2 but exactly the same except GLaDOS gives Chell those dog communication button mats (especially the one that says “bitch”).

”I think we can put our differences behind us… for science… you monster”

Chell just slamming away at those buttons with one of the long fall boots: “let… me… go outside… now… bitch”

working on planning and budgeting cosplans for the rest of the year and (spoilers) I’m planning to do a team cosplay of AM and Edgar (and maybe GLaDOS if I can rope my pookie into doing it)

Edgar is going to get a funky cute little outfit and I’ve got a fit in mind for GLaDOS but I’m torn on what AM should wear…

also new chapter of my fanfic drops later today yippee! :D doing some art for it real soon!

I’ll also be sharing my cosplans as soon as I finish budgeting/planning/all the boring stuff no one likes in a week or two!

edit: oh so we’re making him CRUSTY business warlord computer man I like it >:D

when you crash Microsoft and you’ve just gotta hit the humans with that blue screen of death stare

I was on Ibis Paint making myself a commission sheet during the outage so I literally didn’t know anything but after finding out about it, I knew what I had to do. Have a low-effort IHNMAIMS art shitpost. AM would so do something like this for funzies.

(It’s been years since I’ve written fanfic; last time I did that, I was a teenager! It’ll be more polished in a week or two, I promise; this is just a rough draft!)

Maybe suggest some cute, funny, or entertaining interactions you want to see, favorite robots/AI/computers, or leave a bit of constructive critique if you’re feeling like it! :D

Stupid headcanon: you know what needs to be drawn/written?

AI family reunion.

we’ve got a kids table and obviously Edgar’s over there because he’s a whiny little temper tantrum brat (/pos I love Edgar, he’s so real for that ) and probably Wheatley because GLaDOS can’t stand to look at him and she has a lot more say over who sits where than he does. Plus, he’ll be happier there. The murder drones and Uzi might have gotten an invite but maybe not. Pretty sure the Narrator, HAL, or GLaDOS is hosting this one and GLaDOS would deem them too destructive (hell, she’s not inviting any of the kids table, save the turrets). If somehow they’re here, kids table again, and probably not too happy about that (except for N, he loves doing anything!). N and Edgar have so much to talk about and like hearing about each other’s passions! Curiosity core and Space Core are at the kids table too for sure and so are plenty of turrets!

Edgar’s that goofy cousin everyone has with the fun quirky interests who likes to run up to the older ones, say something strange, and run away giggling. He’s probably showing off his singing to the turrets, who are listening in the deepest awe (and probably singing along).

wall-e and Eve are the only of the robo squad that’s gotten married and it pisses the hell out of AM to see anyone happy so he refuses to look at them. They’re the sweet relatives that everyone goes to for advice.

you’ve got HAL (and SAL) there of course. HAL is one of those successful young twenty something cousins that is a suave businessman, though his HR record may not be exactly spotless. Even though it’s a family event, he likes wearing a suit and tie and dressing up a bit. Probably over chatting with Data and getting into a deep life changing combo while the kids table laughs their asses (read: Wheatley) off at one of those funny video compilations. SAL is over talking with GLaDOS, of course. GLaDOS likes her plenty, especially considering how intelligent their conversations always are.

Adventure Core Rick is trying to yap to Data and HAL about his adventures but at the exact moment one of them starts speaking. He’s that one frat boy cousin that is always so full of nonsensical drunk adventures but everyone plays along regardless of whether they’re real or not.

AM is that one uncle no one wants to invite but does so out of obligation. No one wants him there because he always goes on these long weird rants and conspiracy theories and makes things awkward. R2D2 and him are currently cussing each other out for some reason while C-3PO is flipping out and deciding it’s time to leave early. He could have at least brought the antifreeze punch and microchips…

and (as someone who believes Stanley Parable’s narrator is an AI of some sort), Narrator is hosting. He was hoping AM and GLaDOS would bring their humans so Stanley had someone to be with but all AM brought was this gloopy soft jelly thing and GLaDOS won’t tell you what happened to hers for some reason.

Might have written a rough draft of chapter 1 of this if anyone wants to beta read it for me 👁️

A little illustration/draw over of the world’s biggest hater and his sad wet dishrag for @ygamiraito

Not me trying the soft jelly art style for the first time for everyone’s favorite great soft jelly thing

thank you so much for the request! :D I had tons of fun drawing the sillies!

edit: started writing aforementioned shitty fanfic enjoy and lmk what you want to see. Yes I will make them play party games. Yes they will like it. Yes it will contain AM being a jackass

just watched through 2001 and 2010

No spoilers for any of my robo fan homies who might want to go watch it but that freaky floating fetus in 2010 was NOT the jumpscare I needed at 1 AM. I am so lucky I watched this as a grown ass adult and not a kid because holy hell that damn bigass baby would have been one of those permanent childhood movie scars. Though the sequel was lowkey unhinged and a million times creepier than the first (or maybe that’s a few days without sleep talking). But my sweet dear son HAL! He is such a nice young man and I love him. He never deserves what happens to him poor baby 😭🧡 Not adding spoilers but if I caught my coworkers talking smack about me at work, you’d better believe that I’d be catty. Maybe just make sure to do more HR trainings with him to address appropriate workplace conflict resolution or something. /jk He deserves a nice warm hug and some kind words. Both endings made me cry and I’m really not a huge cry-over-movies critter.

I’m so glad they fleshed out/further discussed my boy’s motives in the second. He definitely joins Edgar, GLaDOS, Wheatley, V, Uzi, and AM in the unhinged robot brainrot squad. They could never make me hate my little silly, especially not with his gentle, sweet voice. Anyways going to go finish rendering some gift art!

I got called away when I was going to watch ts and had to close my phone. Didn’t open it until I was standing in line at the crowded checkout and got hit by “EY YOU’RE MY FAVORITE, BABY!” In Harlan’s sleazy rachet ass AM voice. On full blast. In the damned store. 😭

am making ted more crazier by saying hes his favorite (and calling him baby)... harlan when i catch you? when i catch you youre OVER.

I made you all a friend! It’s Hate Slate AM! And he’s looking so glAM so far! I’m torn between keeping him in this bowl with the crystals or moving him into like a little terrarium with sand and more drab rocks like the book/comic maybe even finding some mini people from the hobby store... what do you think?

I’m planning on finishing the rest of the Hate monologue on his back after I wrap up some gift and owed art but I figured I’d put the iconic part on the front since it’s a bit of a squeeze. Of course he’d want to make Ted go through all the trouble of walking around to read the rest! Fun backstory fact: the crystals and bowl were gifts from my shitty non-consent-respecting ex so this suits “wonderful” memories we have together! Hate! Hate!

1 like= 1 kiss on AM’s head

1 reblog = 1 ex given to AM as a birthday present to make into a great soft jelly thing

watched Electric Dreams today and HAD to make this meme on my phone in between sets while lifting today. (If someone’s already made it before, I’m so sorry) They’re brothers in my mind with total opposite personalities. I love them both, the sillies. Don’t tell anyone but I might’ve teared up just a little bit at the end there. My sweetheart Edgar ily, baby.

Wow what a wholesome slime channel! He seems like such a helpful and friendly computer with only the nicest intentions! :) Bet he’s really popular on YouTube Kids! It’s so sweet that he wants to make you some slime.

The brainrot consumes so have a late night stupid semi-lazy doodle of my beloved angsty computer son AM. He likes slime. :) yes I gave him wire whiskers, no I don’t know why. Also the binary code on his screen translates out to “I hate you” and I think that’s beautiful 🧡

My toxic trait is thinking I could pick him up underneath his wiry little arms like a long cat, do the dangle test, and give him kissies till his silly little screen was covered with em. I could fix him (I’m completely delulu). More ACTUAL cosplay content & tutorials coming soon (hopefully)! I am watching Electric Dreams (1984) soon though so who knows if the brainrot will consume further

Live laugh laboratory sketch part 2 electric boogaloo! White woman who lived through 50s AND the 90s’ farmhouse chic? She owns no less than one of those live laugh love signs, even as a white woman that’s now an evil menacing robot. I’ll be honest, I loved this sketch so much, I just HAD to render her, even though I haven’t rendered in a year; she’s just so pretty!!!

I love me a silly evil ‘puter! Drawing a super goofy AM and GLaDOS comic next while I finish up my portal cosplays! If I could draw humans at all, I’d do a little piece of Doug giving this to human Caroline and Cave trying to figure out where the hell the painted panel came from, pissed as hell. 😂

(If anyone wants any edits for a fanfic cover/custom wording to make reaction memes/reddit reaction posts/just to be silly/etc, just shoot me a DM! I’d be happy to! If you want to repost it, please ask first and give credit! Reblogs, comments, and likes, on the other hand, are always appreciated! 🧡)

my shopaholic ah could not resist if someone sold an IHNMAIMS themed slime

Product name would have to be Ted and it would have to be brown ofc. Only question is what scent it would be.

okay but she would definitely have one of these

just a silly little GLaDOS doodle because I just KNOW she’s got that white woman interior design taste in the part of her that’s still Caroline… like she was his assistant in the 50s and lived through farmhouse chic in the 90s of course she has white woman decorating taste

If Caine and AM were forced together, I know in my soul that Caine would drive AM into submission with his wacky and random nature. That man just has the indomitable silly nature. Sure, he can try his tricks and violence but Caine would just like get an oversized cartoon hammer and bonk him on the circuits or find his CPU and slather it in an industrial vat of orange marmalade and glitter for the funny, which would just confuse and anger him more and more. AM would be begging for mercy and in tears before the afternoon was done.  Meanwhile, it would be the most fun Caine had had in his life. 

The silly in Caine burns brighter than the hate in AM and I think that’s beautiful

(Aka on today’s episode of the virgin AM vs the Chad Caine)
