short poem 

I saw their earnest radiance,
Their certainty so free.
Wished so hard to join their dance,
Until my change I began to see.
I thought I was just becoming "me."
That's what I'd hoped at least.
But now it seems quite clear to me,
I was just becoming beast.

empathy 

It can be simultaneously painful and rewarding to empathize and care for others.

It is a good pain, though, ultimately.

@softgoat@computerfairi.es I keep thinking "Sneps that make you go homph" to the tune of youtu.be/XF2ayWcJfxo?t=17

@Freylet The realistic, memory-based nightmares are so much worse than the fantastical ones, aren't they? I am sorry.

Hug?

@vantablack

I WANT YA'LL TO MEET DELTRON ZERO, HERO, NOT NO SMALL FEAT

sadness and hope, effete affectations 

I see you.

Struggling for meaning. Desperate for validation.

You have meaning. You are valid. I would trade my petty complaints for your anguish and bear it for you if I could.

But the best I can offer is to be there when you need someone.

I love you for who you are, not what anyone else wants you to be.

@kara@occult.camp Why are any of us here? We make our own meaning. Sometimes that is very difficult given our circumstances.

However, you are highly-valued despite your flawed self-assessment. ;)

@Azure

My name is Osmanthus, Robot of Robots
Look on my circuits, ye Mighty in disrepair
Nothing unoiled remains, rust and decay
Of that colossal Wreck, bound wires bare
The lone and empty energon fields stretch far away.

@Elizafox And Kraftwerk's Trans-Europe Express will never seem quite the same to me again.

For the better, actually.

@adeptomega Are the showers themselves cautious, or the act of taking one?

@dragonluvr89 Nothing.

A veritable void as a metaphor for the meaning in life; despite your blind, desperate struggle, your efforts are in vain. *nodding sagely*

@Soreth Not sure if happy sounds or if you stepped on a Lego brick.

@murilega It only seems like a lot because of the number of tiny cups you have to use.

Vyruem boosted

Because it's the season, y'know what?

I'm thankful for you. For *you*. Your existence, your sheer weirdness, your wonder and beauty. By being so uniquely you, you make the world a little more different, more novel, more fascinating

Thank you for being here. Thank you for continuing.

Thank you. 💜

@eris The output did take-on increasingly more conventional structure after that. I still enjoy it, but can see the difference.

Would like to hear some outtakes and experimental stuff like on Brap, though.
