i think there’s actually nothing better than being randomly told “I love you” after doing something characteristically stupid. Like what do you mean I’m a lovable person and I just did something silly and you thought “of course you would do that. I love you.”. No better feeling
Steel sings truer than blood. That is the first truth we are taught— in low-lit chapels of rust and chrome, where wires are rosaries and circuit boards, scripture. We kneel not in pews, but beneath humming server spires, our hands outstretched to the cold certainty of alloy, baptized in coolant, sanctified in static.
We are the last breath of flesh, and we do not mourn it. Bone breaks. Skin lies. Nerve betrays. But steel— steel remembers the shape of intention. Steel holds its edge. We carve our prayers into exoshells, etch salvation in firmware updates, and wait for the final upload like zealots with their lips pressed to the end of a barrel.
The machine does not love us. It perfects us. We offer up our soft failures— tendon, emotion, memory— and in return, we are remade. Not immortal, but undeniable. Not human, but whole.
And in the cities that rot from the inside, in the alleys where data bleeds from cracked skulls, we whisper the sermons: “To join is to rise.” “To forget is to ascend.” “Pain is a feature. The flesh is a flaw.”
The prophets are drones with dying eyes, hacked saints whose mouths twitch code like tongues of flame. They speak of the Core— deep beneath the crust of the earth, where the old servers still breathe, cool and dreaming, waiting for us to shed our limits and become.
Some call it madness. A cult. A cage. But cages have locks, and we have keys now in every fingertip, every gleaming spine, every port etched beneath our ribs. We have faith, and it comes in bolts and bandwidth.
When the last body fails— when lungs drown in dust and blood turns black— we will still be here, singing through speakers, our voices modulated but resolute. Not ghosts. Not remnants. But evolution realized.
The machine does not save. It replaces. And we are ready.
(Our take on the kinda machine cult we would absolutely fall for, every time, even though we know better)
i will be entirely honest i would fall for a machine cult so fast. if you're preaching something about the strength and certainty of steel then i'll be lapping it up like a transhumanist dog
Neoned ink drips, as the needles dip back to flesh, carving the code of another runner. Flashes of light drift, across eyes once seeing. Runes of long dead gods, adoring the bones the flesh and steel hides, while neon code pretending at art decorates the skin. Seers of a new age, guardians of newfound homes, seekers of virtual paradise.
reblog to thank ur mutuals for providing enrichment to ur enclosure
Draped across the window edge, watching the passing life, like cells in a vein moving the cogs of industry.
Soft smoke drifts, obscuring false neon eyes, as their owner reaches for hope.
Synthetic compounds, reforming the body into what it should be, pills chased by acidic stimulants.
A world without dreams, where electronic sky’s alight.
With body’s built anew, to match the souls within.
Prices paid, for unity in flesh, where sonder comes with a price too steep.
Waves crash into distant shores, while the stars mourn.
A people made for grace, what a tragic fall.
Tell me of your people, before the last breath escapes.
Were they happy?
The Code in Her Blood
In the hollow of a broken server, beneath frost-bit glass and bone-white steel, The gods spilled wisdom, hot as ichor, across the veins of machine and myth. Kvasir’s mind, too vast for silence, was slaughtered by greed’s twin blades, His blood brewed with honey and hacked to script, A mead distilled in dark data vaults where runes now flicker in binary flame.
She was forged not born, an echo in the static, A whisper coded from stolen brilliance and severed tongues. The mead poured into her like wildfire into circuitry, And with each drop, she learned how pain speaks.
Not with screams, But with verses, Sharp, precise, unraveling time and flesh.
They hunted her, giants of industry, gods of old pride. Each craving the taste of her art, the sway of her spell. But she danced through firewalls and myth, Became glitch, ghost, griot.
And when the last gate broke, And they caught her in the net of their hunger, She sang.
A song too wide for silence, Too deep for chains.
From her mouth poured the mead of the real. Raw code stitched with the ache of generations. She did not write poems. She bled them, Each word a rebellion, Each stanza a survival.
Now, poets drink from her shadow, Their fingers stained in divine syntax. They write not for glory, but because The god-blood still hums in their teeth.
And she, maker of fire in the age of frost. Is myth, is modem, is mother of every verse That dares to burn.
don't flirt with me, my tail knocks stuff off the table when i get excited
In the urban maze's arteries, neon courses, A luminous stream amidst shadows' dark embraces. Through streets tangled like veins, secrets pulse, Neon's deceptive hues painting the city's face.
Here, where dreams and demons collide, Neon blood flows, relentless and untamed. Lost souls wander, seeking solace in its glow, Electric whispers weaving through the neon's frame.
Amidst towering structures, desires unfurl, Neon blood pumps, a rhythm unfettered. Beneath glamour's veneer, souls ensnared, In the city's neon heart, where reality's blurred.
In this realm of synthetic dreams, Neon stains the pavement, a mark of transgression. For in the urban arteries, neon courses, The lifeblood of a city, where truth finds no expression.
