The past year has necessitated a lot more suspension of disbelief in stories like this: namely that "scientist who creates AI" can still be a likeable character
If "scientist who may or may not have created Skynet is murdered by his business partner and wakes up in an new body twelve years in the future in a world where Skynet won" appeals to you: https://kinkytranslations.com/happy-doomsday/
I should issue a warning that Happy Doomsday opens with a physically disabled main character waking up in a new, abled body. I'm reserving judgement for various reasons but thought people might appreciate knowing before reading as I know this can be a turnoff.
(Technically, the android believes the human to be another android who has been transplanted with human memories, and this might actually be true. But for the purposes of tropes it's a human/android ship.)
Sigh the #HappyDoomsday tag is just Good Omens stuff over on tumblr. I wasn't expecting much of a fandom but I didn't expect the tag to be completely useless 😂
@Betty@epbirdsall@ryfulets they often end up feeling like a string of "and then everyone clapped" moments as everyone in the story can now see things exactly how the fic author sees them
There was talk on discord about styling books based on corsetry and I immediately thought, "but what if it's not just aesthetic? what if it's functional?"
In this sketchbook, the sections are sewn individually, pamphlet style. The lacing is the only thing holding everything together. #HydeMakesBooks#bookbinding
Currently reading: this wangxian fic in which WWX wakes up after being frozen in ice for over a thousand years. It's incomplete, but the author says they have a complete draft and it seems to be updating regularly. https://archiveofourown.org/works/52150927/chapters/131906695
I typeset this a year ago for an exchange partner and finally got around to making my own copy. I marbled the edges too (and had a book got too wet mishap with the fore-edge; fortunately, nothing ruined).
