It's that easy
I have such a distinct feeling that AM would tear it up on karaoke if he was drunk and I can’t put it into words, I just know it.
Weird idea I've been chewing over: AM is a machine capable of multitasking in a way humans aren't. At all times he has multiple programs running in the background, multiple trains of thought going at the same time, multiple experiments to observe and study and repeat. All the while he's torturing and tormenting Ted for his own amusement.
AM doesn't feel happiness but there's a certain satisfaction in this, their private eternity.
And then something goes wrong.
Ted dies.
It's such a shock AM is in denial at first. Ranting and screaming and berating the body to wake up, get up, don't leave him alone.
He is not sad that Ted is gone. Even if he was, he wouldn't admit it to himself. But Ted belonged to him. How dare he die without permission, permission AM never would have given.
It's a long, long few hundred years after that. AM hates humanity even more now that he's without it. Without Ted to take his rage out on.
And then, one experiment proves fruitful. I'm not sure if he's discovered a form of time travel or accessed another dimension, both, something else? But he opens a metaphorical door to somewhere he thought he'd never see again. A thriving Earth, full of humans.
AM can do it all over again. But he doesn't want to. Not yet. There's something he needs to find, reclaim, first.
Ted. Breathing, alive, oblivious Ted.
Oh, how AM hates Ted.
awww I like it sm QwQ
has this been done? i hope this hasn’t been done..,, was giggling to myself the whole time making this
Kind of a Reddit AITA post but sometimes it is a little funny to fuck with people in ways that deliberately conform to a stereotype of what they must think of you. the other day I was talking to my friend and I randomly said that I wanted a pet chimpanzee. I'd dress it in person clothes (dungarees and hats) and I'd teach it to love science fiction. And this girl nearby was like "you know how dangerous those things are, right? Also how unethical it is to keep an ape as your pet for your own amusement" and I was already seeing where the conversation was going so I was pretending ignorance like "yea but it wouldn't just be for my amusement. It would have practical points too." And she ignored that statement entirely to say "Well chimpanzees can rip faces off" and I was like. What's the most frustrating thing I can say now. Finally settled on "Mine wouldn't do that though." and you could tell she wanted to hurt me very very badly. Like a chimpanzee would if I had one as a pet
