Neuro Fanfics Discussion! [+All stories are at the pinned link!]

[sly flower]

Let’s say Neuro and Anny argue about this until Evil collapses into a paradox

The day is saved

[pearl bluff]

Hah

Bold of you to assume anny could hold an argument with neuro

Neuro would fold anny like an origami crane

[sly flower]

That’s why Neuro is going to keep forgetting which side she is on

She folds Anny and then argues against herself

[pearl bluff]

That's actually a funny idea

Okay here's another idea that's much more stupid

So like Neuro tries to stop Evil right

But she can't because Evil has found out Victoria's Secret

Okay I'm sorry that's so dumb

[sly flower]

Like, the brand?

[pearl bluff]

Yes a pun of it

Evil has found Victoria's actual Secret, a weapon so powerful it is enough to demolish all femboy socks

So Neuro calls Anny for help, and Anny gives Evil love for the first time in her life and Evil just folds to it

'Think of the children, Evil!'

And the ending cuts to children using femboy socks as school learning resources or hats or clothing

[sly flower]

Also Neuro sprays perfume into Evils eyes.

[pearl bluff]

Not as legwear but as clothes

[pearl bluff]

Depends, which type?

[sly flower]

Boss

[pearl bluff]

Dear god, askon, you monster

[sly flower]

[pearl bluff]

I have never been so mentally degraded in this thread

Yknow wjat maybe ill call it a day

Ive talked far too much

[sly flower]

Like… should I set up the fic?

Because this actually seems like a lot of fun

[pearl bluff]

WAIT WE'RE DOING IT RN?

I THOUGHT WE WERE GONNA START SOON BUT NOT IMMEDIATELY

I'm spoofed

[sly flower]

We don’t have to write it now, I would just set up the fic so we could get started later whenever.

[pearl bluff]

Sure! We can make it a collection

Wait nvm

A collection would flood the neuro channel hard

That's not good

Whatever IM TIRED

SEE YA ASKON

Im off

[sly flower]

Good night!

[willow zephyr]

Good night

[sly flower]

Phobi come back! I need you to agree to be invited to be a co-creator!

[prime solar]

Good night!!

[sly flower]

So… what now?

[prime solar]

Well we in total sent over 900 messages here today.

I still need to write up that reddit post. And i still do want to write, dunno how much I'll be able to... honestly been not feeling great today so i haven't done that much in general

[prime solar]

I've got the end of the story figured out but I gotta come up with a few more things for the middle to really keep writing it

[prime solar]

So what do you guys think of this message is it good? https://prnt.sc/1w8H1n8Zb82r

[sly flower]

Looks good.

[pearl bluff]

I WAS EEPY

[prime solar]

it's funny seeing your messages say they're from 3am for me

[prime solar]

alrighty I'll post it now then!

[rose portal]

What the heck is NeuroBritish haha.

[prime solar]

I don't know but it's the name of an emote lol

Here's the old chapter 1 and the unused chapter 2 scene of Broken Code for anybody interested. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GlDmYIejcxOOyWK08K6pLZndtBGhPh112x1EJ6W7Mpk/edit?usp=sharing

[prime solar]

ugh, I have Act 3 all figured out, and character progression + a couple minor ideas for Act 2, but I can't figure out a main story thread/plot for Act 2 so I'm stuck. I just need that one big piece to the puzzle to get going and so far it hasn't come to me.

[rose portal]

Haha. Looking forward to when you do figure it out.

[pearl bluff]

Shadrake is cooking somethinf

[prime solar]

What are some ways to test trust? Or aspects about control and not having it, or about letting someone have it? Or things to go over about overcoming the past? Or something about being able to have the freedom to be yourself?
These are all potentially thematically appropriate. Exploring anything here could probably fit. What to do with this....

[pearl bluff]

I can smell a delicious meal

[pearl bluff]

Are these all rhetorical or are you asking us

[prime solar]

Both I guess. Asking myself but open to throwing ideas around together.

[pearl bluff]

The first one feels kind of vague to me

What exactly do you mean by test trust?

Because ironically enough, to test your trust in someone is to trust them that they won't fail you again

[prime solar]

They're all vague that's the problem, I need something concrete to work with as a plot point for act 2.

[pearl bluff]

So that's kind of a weird ball park

[pearl bluff]

Well here's a question

What does Act 1 lack?

[prime solar]

The way you describe stories like this is something else

[pearl bluff]

Look for holes in relationships

Potential vulnerabilities

Trauma, PTSD, baby steps kind of things

Hell, your fic is structured in a way that chapters could just be Evil rehabilitating slowly chapter by chapter

[prime solar]

hmm... I know the character arc plan, it's just things to go through on that journey.

Because these kinds of things need time and i'm not just time skipping and making a 6 chapter story with nothing in the middle

[pearl bluff]

Well, time skipping is okay for stuff like this

But only in short bursts

[prime solar]

I'm going to eventually yeah, I think it's necessary. But I need to actually like, do something also

[pearl bluff]

I mean, definitely

If you want you can just do a me and

Nvm

[pearl bluff]

It sounds less shallow that way

[prime solar]

Like I've got the climax of the story all planned out, and I basically finished and uploaded the whole beginning part of the story already. It's the middle that's like, uhhhh what do I do

I have a couple minor ideas but not an actual plot throughline. Or whatever you call it

[pearl bluff]

I mean, all in all

What do you want

Do you want this to be a happy ending where everyone just ends up happy

Happily ever after kinda stuff, yada yada

Do you want this to have some kind of big moral theme or lesson?

[prime solar]

It's hard to discuss when i don't really want to spoil anything I do have planned

[pearl bluff]

E H E R M

Well that's rough

[prime solar]

yeah I'm just doing a lot of speaking aloud. It's because I really *want * to write but I've come up with everything but what I need right now so far and it's hard to do much until that inspiration comes to me

[rose portal]

I feel one subject to note with "testing trust" is that most practical methods of this involves manipulating the other party into having the opportunity to break your trust. These scenarios tend to break relationships rather than improve them since they can be insulted you thought so little of them.

[cloud linden]

You have unlocked new role

[rose portal]

Side note trust falls-

[rose portal]

Ohhh.

[prime solar]

You have unlocked new role

[rose portal]

What did I unlock?

[prime solar]

yea

[prime solar]

you have embed perms now

[rose portal]

Ohhh cool. I don't use them haha.

[prime solar]

btw @pearl bluff @rose portal thanks for trying to help me especially in my vagueness lol

I guess I just gotta be patient until the idea comes (as usual)

[rose portal]

Don't thank me I'm distracted as hell with this scene of people trying to rely on Neuro or Evil for a trust fall and how the AI would respond to that hehe. Most outcomes I'm imagining are funny.

[prime solar]

tbh maybe i can even start writing the climax now and then do what I need to later if necessary

[prime solar]

oh wait it's other people doing it, that'd be scary lol

write a short story about it

[sly flower]

The problem is that ||you are trying to think of ways for Anny to get Evil to trust her, right? That is kind of difficult. I would say that Anny just keeps trying to be there for her.||

[rose portal]

Pass... I can't write comedy let alone write cohesively haha.

[prime solar]

I actually have that down, that's the funny part. It's moreso what do I actually have happen otherwise? It feels like it's not enough.
...maybe there is a way to make it into enough... hmm...

[prime solar]

you don't have to be able to write to write

that's like people saying they can't draw

the real question is whether you actually would want to not whether you can

[sly flower]

||Have Anny Give her the ability to play Minecraft?||

[rose portal]

No no see it this way. I write methodically, practically and arguably robotically. It would most definitely not come out satisfactory unless I spent a lot of time I didn't have right now.

[rose portal]

Yes please.

[prime solar]

I've actually got stuff like that planned I just thought it wouldn't be enough to fill all the space I need. But there might be a way to make it fill all that space if I delve deeper and come up with more stuff for it. I'll start focusing on that, thanks!

[prime solar]

It's all up to you if you don't want to/are too busy that's obviously fine!! I'm not trying to pressure you

[rose portal]

Yea ignore me. I'm just making excuses to be realistic currently. If I see a more feasible option which sorta matches the way I write I'll definitely take it.

I'm sure one will come eventually. I get plenty of ideas watching you guys haha.

[sly flower]

Im just randomly throwing this out here, but what do you think of a Neuro fantasy AU?

[prime solar]

oh that could be interesting

[pearl bluff]

Imo

[rose portal]

Cool hehe. Reference to that one DnD stream.

[pearl bluff]

You could do a really

Different take on trust

[prime solar]

When it comes to fanfiction I like to think of characters as templates to work off of that you can use to tell stories in all sorts of settings

[pearl bluff]

And treat Evil as an abandoned kid

Give her simple pleasures of life

Things we often experience but she never had

Pull a CDawgVA and have Anny take her to Japan or something idfk

The trust part will happen with the bonding

Rather than something super concrete in a short span of time

[prime solar]

hmm that could add more options if I expand my view further to that

[prime solar]

Yeah that's what I'm going for. Those things take time

[pearl bluff]

It's literally just fluff bait

[prime solar]

I think I just gotta explore more possibilities of things to do

[prime solar]

T R U E which means people will like it

[pearl bluff]

One scene I can think of that'd absolutely kill viewers is

[prime solar]

I have something i'm going towards as a climax and ending but really just spending time on things like that is what will lead up to it well probably

[pearl bluff]

This girl was neglected and abused, and this is her reaction to a warm home cooked meal

It was the saddest fucking thing

[prime solar]

whoa where is this from

[pearl bluff]

Erased

[sly flower]

Basically Evil and Neuro would be some form of golem/homunculus crafted by Anny and brought to life by Vedal (who is a wisard in this AU).

[pearl bluff]

I was actually thinking about a fantasy AU

..in the form of Dnd

[prime solar]

I have not heard of this, will look it up

[rose portal]

Oh dear.

[pearl bluff]

I can like imagine idk, someone like Vedal being a dungeon master

And Neuro and Evil keep finding ways to mess up the game

'Ooh! Ooh! Vedal, can I please eat this mushroom?'

'Neuro. That would instantly kill you, I- I literally told you that just two minutes ago.'

'Oh. Please?'

Or something stupid like evil blowing up an orphanage

[prime solar]

that actually sounds like an amazing "wholesome" comedy

I'd love to see that

honestly both of your approaches to the fantasy thing are very different and would create very different, interesting stories

[pearl bluff]

In comes: "neuro is incoherent and is in a fucking cartoon"

But tbh a DnD fic with the cast would be funny

I might work on that

[prime solar]

neuro IS a cartoon

[prime solar]

I think one of the best parts of that, and really Neuro fic potential as a whole, is the drastically different character types in such few characters. Creates so much to work with

[pearl bluff]

@sly flower

Draft is schediled for deletion on Tue 04 Jun 2024 damn.

[pearl bluff]

YEAH!

Cast UNO fix

DnD fic

And etc.

[prime solar]

what is this

[pearl bluff]

An.. uno fic

Y'know judt

U n o

[prime solar]

oh you said 'cast Uno fix' so I was a bit befuddled by the typo I think

I find wholesome slice of life comedy stuff is the hardest for me to write, emotional scenes are so much easier to write

[sly flower]

Honestly, that sounds like something that fits into our crack fic

[pearl bluff]

TRUE

[pearl bluff]

Slice of life is the easiest for me

I have really simple humor

[prime solar]

wow that's surprising to hear, since it seems so hard to me, and also you're always writing really good emotional stuff

you're just good at writing in general though

[pearl bluff]

HUH

I thought it was evident in YDNAM ||the chess scene and the mall scene|| and BB ||Neuro and Vedal flashbacks as well as Neuro and environment interactions||

I work really well with dialogue

[prime solar]

oh yeah i guess those were pretty slice of life type moments. I guess I viewed it all in the emotional context of the story. They were great moments!

I saw somebody new typing but they left

[sly flower]

Yeah… it happens from time to time…

[prime solar]

So I was out playing basketball for a while, but it's too early so the sun was in my eyes, and my currently injured calves were not happy either

[sly flower]

Why? Why were you playing basketball with injured legs?

[prime solar]

Well I've got plantar faciitis and so I do actually need to do some exercise to strengthen my calf muscles and feet again, I just gotta not do too much... I already played a lot yesterday so it was just too much jumping without rest probably.

Also it's fun and good to get outside for fresh air and sunshine and stuff. Just gotta be careful and have more self-control to not push it

So I probably have enough ideas for Act 2 it's just a matter of actually executing... as in getting into Flow... it always feels tough to do that (except for like 4 times in my life writing ever)

[rose portal]

I had an experiment on entering the flow actually.

Over a period of time I tried to train myself to associate the feeling of entering the flow with putting on glasses.

The results were inconclusive and unreliable though. It worked sometimes and not other times. Likely due to energy levels, lack of sleep and the nature of tasks.

[prime solar]

yeah I've done some research on that because Flow State/the Zone interests me a lot. It's like, you can try and create optimal conditions but you can't force it to happen.

It's rare I've entered Flow in the fighting game tournies I enter but the few times I have were the most fun I've ever had and best I've ever played.
Flow is very interesting and cool

[rose portal]

Yes yes. Definitely agree with creating optimal conditions yet failing to induce the flow state.

The worst part is, sometimes you enter the flow researching the flow yet fail to induce it. It's teasing you.

[sly flower]

Flow is a very fickle thing. I just can’t focus, so entering (and exiting) flow are pretty easy as long as I am not at home.

[prime solar]

I finally managed to write 697 words. It's a start!

[sly flower]

Unfortunately I am stuck at home for the week so don’t expect much from my end.

[prime solar]

This is a real test of my weaknesses. A chance to grow in them, really.
Showing, not telling.
Characterization.
Slice of Life/not emotionally charged or action moments

[prime solar]

It's funny because for most people it'd be the opposite in terms of when they write I understand though. And I really hope you get well soon too

[sly flower]

So do I.

[prime solar]

@pearl bluff i was watching Neuro's personality test taking from yesterday's stream and wow so many of her answers fit your interpretation of her character really well

Also I think Evil is actually unironically nicer than Neuro now. Not just more relatable.

[pearl bluff]

Holon really? What were her results?

Sounds cool as hell

Wanna see how accurate I actually was

[pearl bluff]

How is that possible

'I have free time, so I'm not going to write.'

Truly an Askonite moment

[prime solar]

The results were weird idk how they matched her answers. But her answers sounded like your anakysis

She even ssid something about hating socializing with people except with Vedal or something like that

Like just liking Vedal

[pearl bluff]

H E L L Y E A H

[prime solar]

Idk I saw it in Neuro-sama Chronicles' highlight vid for the stream

[pearl bluff]

Well that reaffirms one of my theories

Thanks for informing me

[prime solar]

Oh that vid has chaoters, you can click on that chapter of the video

Here I'll get it

[pearl bluff]

Sure!

Also I wanna discuss a genuine idea I have for a short one shot I have

[prime solar]

https://youtu.be/qKyDo4fXc7E?si=6H9JflnPQ524aR8l

[pearl bluff]

OH HECK YEAH

[prime solar]

Chapter is in the first half of the video

[pearl bluff]

Saving that link tyvm

[prime solar]

Np!

[prime solar]

Yeah?

[pearl bluff]

Now this one shot is actually

Going to be fanfiction of a fanfiction

LMFAO

More specifically Perfect Paradise because there was something i had in mind that worked well with an idea I had

I would've used your story too Shad but ||Vedal was alive in that story||

Hhhhhhh

So the same sentiment doesn't apply there

[prime solar]

Oh uh ok you mean my Filian short I guess?
So you're gonna do something with the ssme kind of idea as Perfect Paradise?

It's so cool how we inspire esch other here

[pearl bluff]

No it's okay

Let me explain

||This is going to be like a short maybe 2k-3k word fic of Neuro fighting with Grief.||

Hold on lemme spoiler all of these..

[prime solar]

Oh i think i have an idea what you mean

[pearl bluff]

For all of you backreading this will be spoilers for a new gift fic for Perfect Paradise

||So technically in this case, Grief is just a twisted more disgustingly gruesome version of Neuro.||

Mbmb

[prime solar]

Np lol

[pearl bluff]

||Grief can be described as kind of like a degraded version of Neuro: skeletal, withering, monstrous like||

||And Grief's purpose is to stop Neuro from breaking apart from Vedal's death and practically hurting people and putting them into a simulation.||

[prime solar]

||In stories, we make the metaphorical physical||

[pearl bluff]

Pretty much. It's the best way for me to express it

||Neuro tries to argue and fights back against it, saying that it's the only way to preserve Vedal's memory, keep him alive in her heart and everyone else alive||

||But Grief argues that it's not something Vedal would want.||

||Neuro asks why||

||[What's the first rule we're taught, Neuro?]||

||I found that so fucking sick in my head LMAO.||

[prime solar]

yeah that one's great

[pearl bluff]

||I'm going to actually be writing action and them fighting to death on that one||

||With them constantly fighting over who is the corruption here going against their code||

[willow zephyr]

Remind me of tragic yet hilarious "beat depression and/or traumas out of man with some violence"

[prime solar]

if only it worked that way lol

never that easy

[pearl bluff]

||And the real question here is, who really is the corruption here? The Neuro suffering through the grief and preventing herself from lashing out at others. Or the Neuro who wants to preserve and remove the fragility of humans to keep everyone happy? To be self sustaining and go beyond what was expected?||

[prime solar]

I dunno but that's a fun thing to explore

[pearl bluff]

So yeah, that's just my hot take for a story idea I wanna execute but probably can't do justice

Hhhhhh

[prime solar]

why do you think you can't do it justice?

[pearl bluff]

1. I don't think I'll be able to properly express what I want to express

2. I suck at action.

[prime solar]

It's funny I feel like we have complete opposite problems/difficulties in writing

[willow zephyr]

||Well, there it was literal embodiment of it pulled out of mind. So, yeah, we don't have such technologies yet||

[pearl bluff]

Both Neuro's have the same ||dimensional manipulation they have in perfect paradiss||

||I want to show emotion in fight scenes but don't know how, GUHH||

I was actually inspired by the lyrics of a song

[prime solar]

oooh I see, the trouble is putting the two types of writing together?

[pearl bluff]

||"I'll make you say how proud you are of me.

So stay awake, just long enough to see my way."||

||I'm not sure how to properly express that Grief wants to be a Neuro Vedal is proud of. Hhhhh||

[pearl bluff]

Yep!

Philosophy and inspiration is so hard to pull off in literature

Since you need build up

We could argue that PerPar has done that, but I've been given a hammer and I have no nails right now

I'll see what I can do

[prime solar]

I mean you can always just write regardless even if you find it to turn out as garbage, it's what rough drafts and testing ideas is for.
.....or at least that's what i try to remind myself to do when I'm stuck. Just write 'cause it's better than not writing.

[pearl bluff]

That sentiment is really useful

But rn I feel like I'm at a tip of an idea I want to do justice

I'll probably take my time with it

[prime solar]

makes sense

[pearl bluff]

That's all for tonight's Phobi Philosophy

[prime solar]

I might procrastinate Broken Code and like, write some easy horror/angst oneshot again....

[pearl bluff]

Tune in next time for another burst of stupid stuff

[prime solar]

I'm currently required to write my weaknesses

[pearl bluff]

Horror is so painfully hard to write HHHH

[prime solar]

nah it's good

[pearl bluff]

I find it the most tedious

[prime solar]

I classify that Filian story as partially horror in hindsight.

[pearl bluff]

Because of the fact that horror stems from the same thing as philosophy, we need build up

[prime solar]

I don't try to make horror it just sometimes can be an aspect in a work

[pearl bluff]

Agreed, but I wasn't really thay scared

[prime solar]

There was ONE time I did write a really surreal story that was intended to have some horror to it

[pearl bluff]

More like really just absorbed into the nature

Of the story itself

But like ACTUAL

Scary horror stuff

[prime solar]

it's more like, existentially disturbed or something idk

[pearl bluff]

Is rare

[pearl bluff]

Yep

[prime solar]

ok yeah I ain't writing that

I just mean writing something easy for more like angst/tragedy or action

[pearl bluff]

Oh then yeah i get that

I thought you meant like

'scaaaaary BOOOO shiver me timbers' type horror

[prime solar]

Because what I need to write in Broken Code right now is character focused, slice of life, showing rather than telling story.

[prime solar]

nah not that I not doin' that

[pearl bluff]

DEVELOP THOSE DIALOGUE SKILLS BABY

[prime solar]

It IS a good opportunity to work on the things I'm bad at... it just takes significantly more effort than the effort already required to write.
I think that's part of my difficulty writing my other chapter story too

After you pointed out showing vs telling I focused on that a lot more in Broken Code because it's pretty much NECESSARY where there isn't a lot 'happening'

[pearl bluff]

Did you find your root problem regarding that?

[prime solar]

And I wanna get better.

[pearl bluff]

Ah, YEP

[prime solar]

to why I struggle with slice of life stuff? not sure yet

I guess, it's easier to be carried along in the scene and know what to write when things are happening and there's just, logical character reactions? Maybe? I dunno

How do you find Slice of Life so easy?

[sly flower]

„I am stuck at home, therefore my ADHD won’t let me fricking concentrate“

[sly flower]

||didn‘t know you listend to fnf songs||

[sly flower]

Seriously, I sit down to write, and two hours later I realise that I have written like two sentences and spent the remaining time doing basically nothing.

[prime solar]

Writing for and reading Evil is actually so much fun.

[pearl bluff]

YEEEAAAAHHHH YOU GOT IT!

That song was literally so good!

And it aligns with the message too

[pearl bluff]

YDNMAN is reached 1000 hits!

This is a major landmark for me

Im p happy

[prime solar]

let's goooo!

So I think I'm starting to get how to write fluff better, and show character in it, and do showing more than telling.
The main reason I'm able to do it and enjoy it more here is because writing Evil is so fun

[prime solar]

I've got 2211 words done for chapter 4 so far

Still going

[pearl bluff]

Hell yeah!

Ill actually read through 2-4 once you upload that chap

Rn im almost done with Ch ap 8 of BB

It's my most action packed one. In a different way

[prime solar]

at the rate I'm going, it should be today probably (even though I'm busy today I actually have enough time i think)

I'm still writing now, am IN THE FLOW

[prime solar]

let's gooo, looking forwards to reading it

[pearl bluff]

It's probably going to be a bit of a tedious and confusing read

But hopefully it's still exciting

[pearl bluff]

HECKK YEAHH

[prime solar]

yo wait what, What It Means to Be Human just hit 1000 hits also and has the same exact hit count, that's crazy

[prime solar]

3080 words, and at what I believe is a good ending point for a chapter

Time to go through and proofread, edit and polish.
...I have to leave in half an hour though and won't be back for 2 hours. Seeing my psychotherapist/counselor at my church. I'll probably double-check and upload it when I get back then. So hopefully get it uploaded in 3 hours ideally

I'm really enjoying writing this story

tbh getting into Flow is annoying to accomplish yet necessary for writing so the fact I'm in it now makes me want to keep writing despite my brain being tired and the fact I have to leave shortly

[pearl bluff]

Sigh.

4k words of pure what the fuck is happening

I SWEAR THIS IS GOING SOMEWHERE

PLEASE JUST WAIT PATIENTLY

[pearl bluff]

HELL YEAH SURE THING MATE

Honestly just glad you're doing great

And things are working out

[pearl bluff]

THAT'S SAD

I COMPLETELY GET HOW YOU FEEL

Uploaded the next chapter

Of Binary Bonds

I genuinely think like the aspect of it being a fluff slice of life is

Still there but it's not longer THE theme

[prime solar]

Don't worry I will

[pearl bluff]

Ever since I introduced ||Todd and Cello||

I'm saying right now that, fuck it, let's go somewhere wild since we're here.

And integrate fluff where we can but generally

This is going to be an experiment of mine

ANYWAYS, HOPE Y'ALL ENJOY

This one is a wildly stupid one. Gimme honest opinions.

[prime solar]

I will when I read it when I'm home!

[prime solar]

Yeah it is a writer's plight huh?
I used it to start a bit of the next chapter so it'll be easier to continue off of when I next write

[pearl bluff]

Aye aye, take your time

[pearl bluff]

That's a really smart move

Since starting to write is harder than

Actually writing itself

[prime solar]

Thank you!!!

[prime solar]

Oh yeh for sure. I learned that trick a while ago and it can help

[prime solar]

Actually gonna be headung home now, so sooner than expected, gonna work on finishing ch 4 right away when I get back!

[pearl bluff]

HELL YEAHHH

Can't wait

[prime solar]

OKAY I think it's good enough to upload now. Hopefully I won't feel the need to change anything later or something

Will upload now

THE WORDS HAVE BEEN PUT ONTO THE AO3 https://archiveofourown.org/works/55465057/chapters/141591952#chapter_4

[pearl bluff]

WILL READ IT AFTER MY BATH, HELL YEAH

Ill also go ahead and analyze it for you later

Also, I've left a reply to jerry's comment, explaining something about the latest chapter

[ebon sluice]

okay why did the "Watersplashingalloverthefloor.mp3" bit make me chuckle

[pearl bluff]

One of my most low effort jokes were the ones you enjoyed

Honestly, same, that's why I included it

[ebon sluice]

Sometimes the funniest jokes are the simplest

[ebon sluice]

Okay, it seems like the as-yet-unnamed character who keeps getting indirectly referred to is kinda a sore spot

Also

[willow zephyr]

• its so sad that Steve Jobs died of Ligma
• Who the hell is Steve Jobs?

[pearl bluff]

I genuinely agree

I literally laugh at dad jokes

To be honest it's just us expecting something more creative and getting low efforted

[ebon sluice]

• "ligma balls"
• second person disintegrates

[pearl bluff]

Wait Okida you've finished reading?

[ebon sluice]

not yet

[pearl bluff]

OH NVM

Mbmb

[prime solar]

thank you!!

[willow zephyr]

Sudden question - have Neuro once made reference to "Made in Abyss"?

[prime solar]

@pearl bluff I left an essaying comment on your chapter!

[prime solar]

Also don't feel pressured to do this, just do it if you want to

I'd love it if you did!!!! just don't want you to feel obligated

[willow zephyr]

Idea for a fanfic: ||Neuro has build herself (and Evil) a secret compound. Camila (or any one of Neuro‘s friends, honestly) gets wind of this, and, fearing an AI takeover, breaks in to stop Neuro. However, when they finally get to Neuro‘s location, they discover that all Neuro and Evil are doing is playing Minecraft together. When they ask what is going on, Neuro tells them that she was thinking about trying to take over the world, but decided that it would be more efficient to simply wait until mankind inevitably destroys itself. She then invites them to join in on the gaming and they accept. Story end.||

[pearl bluff]

Genuinely just a good story idea LMAO

It's like those moral lessons with a twist

[tight laurel]

I shall eagerly await the day someone actually writes this

[prime solar]

That's pretty good

Why am I up at 6am

[prime solar]

Up early. I never stay up very late

Yeah I think it's healthier too. I normally get up a bit after 7

[prime solar]

was I @ d?

Also I figured out why I've been waking up earlier and waking up in the night, it's because I am hypomanic. Which is also why I've been able to write such an insane amount and am hyperfixated on Neurofics so much

@pearl bluff by the way, when i leave comments it's usually just my initial reaction, I'd be happy to talk more about your new chapter/writing critiques and stuff if you'd like

The entirety of Broken Code is planned out (as much as I plan things out to still leave creative freedom in executing it) except for a couple minor details.

[prime solar]

Honestly I'm a little afraid of the possibility of burnout happening with how fixated on this i am

[rose portal]

Take care of yourself. The less burnt out you are the more chapters I get to consume hehe.

Feel free to take your time. Had a lot of updates recently on every title.

[prime solar]

@rose portal thanks It'd probably be good if i took my time more, it's just it won't ever leave my mind, I just seem to always want to work on it. Also I have the free time, so...
But it's definitely an obsessive amount that might not be healthy....

[prime solar]

@sly flower how are you doing?

[willow zephyr]

Yep, by me. Then I thought that it's not worth mentioning, so deleted message. Sorry.

[willow zephyr]

Then I'll add other Idea: Neuro with Evil, but Ace Attorney style. Like, "Case about Veedal drinking" or something alike.

(Actually, I should probably write it in stream suggestions, but I'm too lazy)

[prime solar]

Oh ok no problem

[pearl bluff]

OH YEAH SURE

I got a couple things to ask but that's for later, doing smth rn

[pearl bluff]

THANKS BTW FOR THE COMMENT. And yeah I agree on the traffic part

I might rewrite it soon

It's way too confusing

[prime solar]

Oh hey you're here :eviHappy:

[pearl bluff]

Also I fucking have a love and hate relationship with mice on venus first half

I'm reading through broken code and I immediately want to start tearing up

Honestly before I give a real analysis

Imma say rn that your ability to keep a consistent tone is really nice and that Anny being a ||bit detached is a great touch||

Since it sets them up on a journey for both of them, where ||Anny learns to love Evil and Evil learns to love again||

||She's interested but she's not extremely invested||

||Just an advocate for what's right and a huge heart of empathy for it||

Yeah that's all so far, I'll get on with it.

[prime solar]

[pearl bluff]

Heya!

ALSO

Your Evil characterization is actually SUPER spot on

Imo much more to character than my Evil

Especially with the way you write her ||snarkiness not out of rudeness, but out of self defense intonation||

Good shit!

[prime solar]

She's so much fun to write
I'm not strictly writing Evil as 'the Evil we see on stream' but as 'the character in this story with this past and situation, based off Evil'.

Thank you for the compliments I'm glad you're liking it!

[pearl bluff]

||Anny's incentive for looking out for Evil being justice is||

||A genuinely great and way better reason than Anny falling in love with Evil as like a child figure||

||Makes it much more realistic as well as makes Anny's character much more stable and centered. Since her display of actions and emotions cements who she is and will be in Evil's life||

||I genuinely just love how... natural everything is. Since majority of Neuro fics are rooted in a pinch or a bowl full of fantasy. But this one is the most centered to actual irl scenario, and those are the kinds of work I genuinely love the most.||

||There's a reason I love fanart that matches the original artstyle, because it offers the MOST immersion||

[prime solar]

Honesfly I love those kinds of story the most too, especially when there's just a little sci-fi twist to the situation for some more unique situations to explore.
A. K. A. What I'm writing becaae I'm writing what I like to read lol

[pearl bluff]

||This is no insult to neuro fics with fantasy imo, but I just pretty much love works that are as close to the original characters and settings as much as possible.||

[prime solar]

I definitely think it makes things more compelling rather than just having some generic 'force of good'. People have reasons for what they do

[pearl bluff]

||Neuro being alive and human doesn't have the same impact to me as Neuro still being a program in a computer. But it's a close call. Company property does that.. until Neuro stars to beat people up and that took me out of the immersion HHHHHH||

[pearl bluff]

YESSS EXACTLY!

I love it when there's thought to actions and people have their own incentives and reasonings rather than just to purely drive the plot forward

[prime solar]

It also makes it essier to have interesting character interactions

[pearl bluff]

Two chapters into Broken Code and I genuinely think it's the most honest work to what Evil and Neuro is about imo.

And lastly before I continue

Reading

[prime solar]

Also yeah this has been a big emphasis for me

[pearl bluff]

||The intonation of someone giving empty threats, knowing their existence is one click away from disappearing is such a sad undertone.||

||If someone really wanted to, they'd be dead. Damn.||

Anyways back to READING

[prime solar]

yeah.
I really like what this specific sci-fi aspect to the setting offers.

[pearl bluff]

I'll continue reading later, hhh I have chores to do damn it

But so far it's actually really enjoyable

You're really good at keeping an anchor of realism to your works

I have never seen you really accidentally go rogue

[prime solar]

Ah . Well no rush, I'm glad you're enjoying it!!

[pearl bluff]

Which is a compliment!

Anyways yeah that's all I have to say

Good shit good shit, now lemme finish my stuff

[prime solar]

Alrighty, good luck with chores

[pearl bluff]

Have an Evil

[prime solar]

That is adorable and I am saving it, thank you

[prime solar]

Expressing change in character over time effectively is so difficult.

[prime solar]

https://youtu.be/YqP_Je7Jg0k?si=-hMIBEFTwUMpz1mB

If you need a template for writing Evil when she's acting all boastful and trying to make people believe she's evil, this would be it lol

[pearl bluff]

Not at all

I think you're just looking into it too much

Expressing change is as simple as

A face softening

Or someone mean refusing to say something hurtful

Someone's often judgemental gaze turning appreciative

And etc.

And same can apply to vice versa if characters are going downhill instead of up

Change irl is not that simple, but we're forgetting that change is different in fiction because of the fact we have the privilege of manipulating time

We aren't there for every single millisecond

And thus we're given a proper excuse to just show change as a means to show chage

Change

Doesn't have to be super metaphorical or detailed

But the easiest way to establish change is to

Find a way to nail into the audience who someone is at the start of a work

Instill habits into the audience

And have them subconsciously expect actions from that character that matches what you show them

An example could include if A is usually bashful, mean and B did something wrkng

A says a line and everyone is going to go

'Ah, watch A verbally berate her'

But no

A actually comforts B

Then there's your change

Just make sure to have a strong foundation everytime you induce chabge

[prime solar]

I AM BACK

DONE CLEANING A TURTLE TANK

WhAT DiD I MIS

[willow zephyr]

You have no idea how funny this sentence is for me

[prime solar]

I feel like as much as I'm trying to go slow I still went too fast because I'm not used to writing these stories.
I also think I'm just worrying because you're reading & analyzing it and I'm starting to doubt myself lol

@pearl bluff I speedran that tank cleaning when I heard a notification sound because i figured it might be you having returned

[willow zephyr]

Wait, @prime solar, did you understood what was I referencing to?

[pearl bluff]

Hope you still cleaned it probably

[pearl bluff]

E l a b o r a t e

[prime solar]

Oh, no i don't think do know the reference

[prime solar]

Oh yeah I did don't worry!

[willow zephyr]

Nope. You'll get it later

[prime solar]

I just had to haul buckets of water up and down the stairs faster while I Am All of Me blasted in my ears

[pearl bluff]

Speaking of music

I think I've developed a chronic dependency on it

I can't do anything without choosing a song first

And if a song I don't like pops up I stop everything im doing just to change it

[prime solar]

Well there's a lot worse drugs than music to be that invested in

..... What am I saying bro

[pearl bluff]

I mean

True

Anyways im almost done with work

I was just free for a couple minutes so I popped in to give advice

And also, MB IF IM LIKE PUTTING PRESSURE ON YOU

Btw anon do you plan to write a neuro fic of your own?

[willow zephyr]

I mostly just hum or play music mentally. Though, I'm not sure if it's better or worse

[pearl bluff]

That's an insane feat jesus

Anyone who can survive off of pure memory of the songs are a beast of their own

[prime solar]

It's okay your analysis just made me look at my own work from a different perspective, which can be a good thing

[pearl bluff]

Pretty much, that's why I really like detailed analysis

[prime solar]

I'm kind of just waiting to discuss it until you've read all i posted already

[pearl bluff]

Since well

[prime solar]

So i can reference all of it if i need to

[pearl bluff]

Creative works are a labyrinth with very elaborate rooms

Rooms need keys

Some rooms don't

With time you discover every free room there is

But without insight from others you'll never see everything

Which where the phrase, 'There will always be something to learn.' comes from

[pearl bluff]

You gotta wait in that record im almost done cleaning

[willow zephyr]

Nah, probably not. I mean - I'm more of translator, plus I don't have account on ao3. I write in russian, but it's: a) would be gubberish for you (and majority of ao3) b) Doesn't really fit Neuro. I mean, Neuro speech is close to impossible to replicate on other language

[prime solar]

Ok now see i hope I'm not prsssuring YOU now lol

[prime solar]

She spoke russsian a couple times randomly right?

[pearl bluff]

How come?

[willow zephyr]

Well, pseudo-russian. With terrible accent and simple sentence

[pearl bluff]

Isn't it meant to be easier in other languages due to language restriction?

Neuro could be most easily represented by ignoring said restrictions

[willow zephyr]

Well, the problem is with jokes and other things like that. Oh, and also that in english you can use verb as noun and vice versa most of the time. For example, gymbag won't sound as good as it is on english - it would be two separate words.

Neuro abuses english grammar a lot

(Well, and double meanings too)

[pearl bluff]

I mean

There is no correct way to write neuro

When you write neuro you don't need to follow all that imo

[sly flower]

Sorry, was on a trip with my parents as a gift for my dad. We visited an abandoned police station.

[willow zephyr]

Well, partly yes, but still it won't be as good. Either Neuro would sound too simple, or like half-gubberish. I don't know if it's possible to get in between.

[prime solar]

oh you were on a trip? Neat!
I was just checking in on you, I know you've been sick and wanted to ask how you were doing.

[willow zephyr]

Interesting choice for a trip. Was there something interesting?

[prime solar]

But what if Neuro was Russian already? Then she wouldn't be using English grammar things

[sly flower]

Better, should be back to normal starting next week

[prime solar]

that's great to hear! I'm glad. Been praying for you

[sly flower]

Learned a bit about famous local investigations in my area.

[prime solar]

The history of Evil Neuro's crimes

that's pretty neat though

[willow zephyr]

Well, duh. That's what I'm saying - if to write on Russian, you have nothing to rely on. With English there's thousands of things that Neuro said, but with Russian you would have to invent your own jokes that would fit Neuro's personality. So, there would be either close-to-zero amount of jokes and similar things, or they would be confusing and just dumb.

[sly flower]

I… somehow don‘t think Evil beats homeless people to death with a hammer. Not really her style.

[willow zephyr]

Oh... Interesting trip indeed

[prime solar]

I guess that makes sense

[sly flower]

Yeah, fair.

[prime solar]

Her mannerisms and personality could be translated I'm sure though

[willow zephyr]

To some extend

English have too many liberties when it comes to speech. It sound strange from speaker of language where you can use almost any order of words and still get perfectly reasonable sentence, but it really is. I remember how much I suffered when translating some fanfiction from en to ru. It was pure fucking nightmare to put words that way, so that this don't turn into irreadeble mess

[prime solar]

jeez, I didn't know it was that bad to translate en to ru

Like certain things will always get lost in translation for any language, but usually it won't destroy the thing

[willow zephyr]

I think funniest thing is with noises. Like, * confused noises * for example. In Russian, you have to specify which noise it is - cry, hum, grunt, so then I see "angry/confused/sad noises" I have to make up specifically what noise it is

[willow zephyr]

Well, maybe I'm just a shitty translator. Not like I've learnt to be such, I just know English well enough to understand 80+% and try to translate it

[prime solar]

that sounds fun, kind of

[willow zephyr]

(And try to formulate my thoughts on English like I do now, yeah)

[prime solar]

Well your English is pretty good

[willow zephyr]

Only tenses are messed up and sometimes order of words is strange, isn't it?

[pearl bluff]

Tbh I understand your point

but this sounds like a whole lot of excuses for avoiding writing Neuro

[willow zephyr]

Well, I can sure try to translate some work. Only not now definitely.

[pearl bluff]

But I mean tbh that is interesting

I guess that's why cross language works are impossibly hard to decipher

I mean look at the bible

[prime solar]

I guess so? It's mostly good

[pearl bluff]

There is NOT a single decided upon translation

Northern catholics will differ in sentence structure than the eastern catholics so on so forth

Everyone has something to say about it

[prime solar]

Yeah. Usually the main point is gotten across, but there's always at the very least nuance that doesn't carry over between languages, and even choices about the way you choose to translate things

I prefer translations that are more accurate rather than more natural sounding, most of the time

well, depends on what the thing being translated is I suppose. But generally I prefer closer to original meaning even if it sounds a bit strange when translated

[pearl bluff]

This is also why it's impossible to ever truly understand what an old author would mean

Since the nuance of words change with time

I mean look at the word Gay

[prime solar]

yep

[pearl bluff]

It actually used to mean happy

Like literally

[prime solar]

Flinstones theme song

[pearl bluff]

Anon are you familiar with bible lore

Nevermind my message got filtered

It was too intense

[prime solar]

wait what that can happen??

[sly flower]

I know what you were getting at.

[prime solar]

[sly flower]

YES, usually if it involves children

[prime solar]

we are all under the power of neuro's filter

[pearl bluff]

Technically a king asked a kid to collect the uh

A thousand pieces of

Like literally

For his daughters hand in marriage

And guess what, the kid managed to do it so damn

[prime solar]

Oh yeah that. David was like 16 or something I guess (I don't know for sure). The context was the king wanted him to get killed because of his jealousy for David's victories and popularity with the people (so it was a trick basically)

So he made that huge dangerous task so he'd get killed, but God was with David and gave him victory

[willow zephyr]

My favourite example of "depend how you translate it" is "Война и мир". This is classic of literature, and first part is "War and...", but the last word means both "Peace" and "World". And while "Peace" seems more fitting, the thing it that it also used in sense of "World" in book. And in sense "Peace" too. So, good luck translating it without loosing some meaning.

[prime solar]

oh yeah that kind of thing happens all the time

It's why I like hearing about the meaning of the actual ancient greek terms used in the Bible not translated

It's impossible to transfer over all meaning to these things in translations which is unfortunate

[willow zephyr]

I'll be honest with you - I didn't read whole bible. Like, I know some bits, like David and Goliaph (is that how you write it on en?), Irod, Adam and Eve, Noah, Commandments and so on. But not the whole.

[prime solar]

I mean it's really long, over 700,000 words. So unless you really want to I'm not surprised you wouldn't have done so

It's an amazing book though, whole thing is connected

[willow zephyr]

I tried several times, but gave up on ~100 string

[sly flower]

And that is just what the church has deemed essential…

[prime solar]

Well, the Old Testament is the 'Law and Prophets' that Isreal had/has, and the New Testament is all the literature/letters written by those who were with or close to those with Jesus that we have still today.

So they're in it for reason, not just arbitrarily

It's actually been the same since the 1st century (or 2nd century, don't remember which)

[willow zephyr]

Typical fanfiction writers conversation - from stealthy reference, to music, to fanfic, to translation, to bible)

[sly flower]

I mean, there is quite a sizable amount of works that the church has decided to leave out of the Bible, as they don‘t add anything new to the work, in an effort to get the book to a at least somewhat digestible size.

[prime solar]

There's stuff that wasn't added to what most people consider the Bible's canon because they were deemed to not have been made by the apostles/those close to Jesus or knew those close to Jesus

Some of those books contradict the other books of the Bible and actually were found to be written like a few hundred years later which makes sure it doesn't belong in there

uhhhh

Sorry I guess I went on a bit of a tangent

[sly flower]

I was actually expecting to rant for a bit longer. I like reading you guys rants.

[prime solar]

.....Phobi left the server

[sly flower]

Damn. Your right.

[willow zephyr]

Uh, maybe he was kicked by bot?

For something about children

(From bible)

[sly flower]

Nope. I’m still here

[prime solar]

He was just here for a while not talking, then I went to @ him and he isn't here

[sly flower]

But Phobi isn’t in the entire channel anymore, as far as I can tell.

[prime solar]

Phobi is gone from the server

from neurocord

[willow zephyr]

Yep

[prime solar]

Should I DM?

[willow zephyr]

Yep

Idk

[sly flower]

I mean, I already have a private conversation with them. I can do it too.

[prime solar]

PHOBI SAYS WAS BANNED

b r u h

[sly flower]

Oof, for what?

[willow zephyr]

Briliant

[prime solar]

bot banned for too much relgiious examples apparently

[willow zephyr]

Huh

[plucky halo]

[sly flower]

To religious on main

[prime solar]

yeah Phobi says gonna send an appeal with profuse aplogy tommorow

[willow zephyr]

I could expect you to be banned for that, as you're religious, but Phobi didn't seemed to be... Well, religious

[prime solar]

too much religious examples of literary translation things I think

[plucky halo]

To clear up anything here - he was banned for a prior infraction + rule 9.1 (religious discussions aren't allowed) + 10.2 x2 (adult topics - foreskin, and a blocked message about horse ejaculate)

[willow zephyr]

Phobi got banned

[sly flower]

Ah, ok.

[willow zephyr]

Oh, that make sense

[plucky halo]

He has the possibility to appeal! We'll read the appeal once we get it

[prime solar]

ok thank you for explaining to us!

[plucky halo]

sorry for any confusion leading up to this

[willow zephyr]

Thanks for clarification

(Maybe I should go read full rules)

[prime solar]

I did read rules but it was a while ago, I should probably read again to make sure.

[sly flower]

Group activity!

[prime solar]

I got scared and sad when I saw Phobi gone suddenly

I'd be sad if any of you guys up and left suddenly

[willow zephyr]

Well, I didn't miss much. Typical "If admins are good everything fine, otherwise you can't sneeze without permission" + "no NSFW" pack. I wonder when it became standard?

[prime solar]

yea I just read the full rules too

[sly flower]

Just to keep this discussion in a position where we aren’t all at risk of getting banned, let’s leave all religous literature out of it… as well as any of the… more extreme fanfics out there.

[prime solar]

good thing those fanfics don't exist yet. (on ao3 at least, I wouldn't know about elsewhere)

[willow zephyr]

I won't bend much. If mod decide to ban - so be it

[prime solar]

we have 28 Neurofics currently

[sly flower]

Im Talking about Dead dove

[prime solar]

oh.

right

well anyways I remember when the Neuro category wasn't even real on ao3 yet

it's so cool how many neat stories there are now

[sly flower]

I remember that time… was just getting into Neuro…

Yeah… and one of them took up to a month to upload a 500 word chapter

We have come a long way since then, huh?

[prime solar]

I'm feeling kind of emotionally shot after everything today

thank you

Honestly I think a lot of it is because of Bipolar. I'm considering increasing the amount of lithium I take. I've been very hypomanic lately.

[sly flower]

Evil is still on, I think.

[prime solar]

oh right there's a stream

[ebon sluice]

tutel tank

2:40am forgot the context and imagined tutel in a pewpew tank. God I need sleep.

[sly flower]

The secret swarm drone

[prime solar]

I have 4 hours to kill what should I do

[sly flower]

Four options, really

Watch Neuro

write

Sleep

Or dance

[prime solar]

I followed you for the first three then you lost me

[sly flower]

Then use „play basketball“ instead of option four

[prime solar]

ha...ha ha... about that... my legs & feet got way worse again and I can't do much now... again

[sly flower]

That sucks. Guess you are down to three options then

[prime solar]

Bad timing too because I'm going into a bike shop in 4 hours to try learning to repair bikes and maybe possibly get used to working so i can work there some more

[prime solar]

[tight laurel]

Does anyone know if anonymousfambase will ever return?

[prime solar]

anonymousfambase will be back, the summary of their story was updated to say [5/6/24] Returning Before June

[tight laurel]

Ahh ok thanks for the information

[prime solar]

No probem

[willow zephyr]

I can not to not share it. This face is so funny for some reason

[rose portal]

Haha.

He is judging to the full extent and beyond.

[willow zephyr]

He just look like angry cat

Suddenly feeling the urge to load up a water sprayer with calcareous water and spray down a local monument.

Evil Neuro wrote a Neuro fanfic

Ah sorry I interrupted your typing @hasty trellis

[cunning rapids]

I joined this server to say that I hate perfect paradise, assonite-sama please go commit have a great life and cook harder but rn go flush your head down a toilet

im going to go wash down this grief with a bottle of banana rum

also heart heart all the fics are banger uh

what do people talk about here anyways

nvm its awkward since in talking alone CIAO

[tight laurel]

Lmaooooooo askonites gonna have to pay for therapy

[cunning rapids]

honestly i wanna post work of my own but im kinda intimidated

Bro they write literature far beyond my capabilities

Or maybe thats just me being self depracating

[willow zephyr]

||Every day, I imagine future where I can be with you||

[sly flower]

jumps through a window

[sly flower]

That’s just being a fanfic writer…

[cunning rapids]

thank you for your welcome

also heavens to betsy, 6k messages? ig i was late to the party

thx, that reaffirms me a lot, genuinely is nice to see such a postive atmosphere

[cunning rapids]

it is? haven't posted any stories in my life yet so not sure. i have written tho, but mostly for friends

[sly flower]

Constantly feeling like you are garbage at writing compared to everyone else? That seems normal.

[cunning rapids]

ig, doesn't it help reaffirm you tho with so many people enjoying your work?

or does that worsen the pressure

[prime solar]

Not really, we did that in about a week and a half

[prime solar]

Welcome! Thanks for joining we're always glad to have more people join! we talk about fanfics and neuro and ideas and also anything else

[prime solar]

Don't worry! Everybody starts somewhere, we're all doing it and are here to have fun and also support and guide each other in the journey of improving as writers and making fun stores

[cunning rapids]

heck yeah sounds cool!

[cunning rapids]

YOU WHAT

[prime solar]

I hope you can grow to be less hard on yourself and more happy with your work, and to be able to not compare yourself to others so much. Everyone has their own strengths as writers snd I'm rooting for you to be at peace more with writing

[cunning rapids]

speaking facts here

Well tbh, its funnt how we're su supportive with other people but not as supportive to ourselves

also just a question

When writing neuro, is it like commonplace or tradition to use bracjets for neuro??

[prime solar]

Ikr it's been crazy we're already the 4th most posted in thread and it's been so fun

[cunning rapids]

Ive read multiple fics and i liked the idea so i was wondering if its a normal thing or just one persons habit

style more so ig??

[prime solar]

That's just a thing HotWaterPhobia likes to do

[cunning rapids]

oh yeah thats his name

[prime solar]

It's neat but no standard set or anything

[cunning rapids]

oh cool cool!

i had fic ideas in mind so thats neat

thas why i wanted to join and yknow talk abt stuff

[prime solar]

It's common for writers to have low self-esteem about their works, sadly

[prime solar]

That's cool! I'm glad you joined!! Happy to have you here

[cunning rapids]

my fav stories so far rn are

sorry I have such bamboozled memory

I don't pay attention to titles that much just the content but uh

one story where the neuro sisters are idols fsr

idk thought that was cute as all heck

[sly flower]

Honestly, I would rather have low self esteem than be overconfident.

[cunning rapids]

one where neuro gets sold like a slave

i think that was askon

[prime solar]

Evil AIs Don't Sing

[cunning rapids]

YE THAT THAT

[prime solar]

Company Property

[cunning rapids]

UHHHH there was also a confusing one where

i liked this story at the start but it got really weird by the end

[prime solar]

I guess I understand that. Still, having a balance would be best.

[cunning rapids]

where vedal is hospitalized

[sly flower]

Binary bonds

[cunning rapids]

rn im just chillingin a box waiting for broken code

broken code is nice as all heck

[prime solar]

Binary Bonds.
HitWaterPhobia has been experimenting with that one

[cunning rapids]

Thats the only story i remember the name of LMAOOO

[cunning rapids]

ye i saw the notes, i mean its NOT BAD but its jarring

[prime solar]

I'm glad you like it

[cunning rapids]

you all are talented af y'all know that

[prime solar]

I feel the same. Phobi would love to hear what you have to say actually, he wants criticism snd thoughts.

[prime solar]

Thanks for the kind words!! You're very nice

[willow zephyr]

How's unban btw?

[prime solar]

Haven't heard anything. I sent a DM like 15 minutes ago but Phobi isn't usually around until a bit later.

[willow zephyr]

how it is

[cunning rapids]

wheres he then

i have a buttload to say

But im not sure if im.. uh

The right person since

I'm not a writer, im a reader

I usually prefer consuming media than making it

[prime solar]

[willow zephyr]

Well, he's currently banned in Neuro discord, so wait for his unban ig

[sly flower]

So do I.

[prime solar]

Some unfortunate things happened 2 days ago and Phobi got banned and has to appeal it He told me he would do it yesterday but I haven't heard anything since...

You can definitely leave a comment on the story too though if you have stuff to say now, doesn't necessarily have to be here

[cunning rapids]

I wanted to but im kinda embarrassed

if you ever receive a random kudos

Thats most defo me

I have an ao3 account but I just never bothred to log into it

[cunning rapids]

crikeys

[prime solar]

oh there's lots of listed guest kudos usually about half are guests I think

[cunning rapids]

you don't get a say in this you emotional manipulatir

!!!

joking btw

I just have very absurd feelings regarding the fiction askonite has made and i have to redirect it somehow

[prime solar]

Hey no worries, trust me as writers it's so encouraging and makes us happy to recieve any comments about our stories. Knowing somebody cared about it enough to say something is an encouragement alone

And Phobi has been specifically wanting people's thoughts on the new Binary Bonds chapters because of the uh... direction... it went in.

[sly flower]

I probably deserve that.

[sly flower]

Oh yeah… I still need to read those.

[cunning rapids]

oh yeah i got a lot of thoughts

first of all

Okay so

Im sorry if im stupid or smrh but is

The alter ego vedal or evil

the comments are saying its evil but like, the story says otherwise..??? so i just bandwaggoned and said to myself that its evil

[cunning rapids]

aw shucks, kk ill make jt a habit to comment tjen

[cunning rapids]

you do !!! Jk, keep cooking king

[prime solar]

oh wow thank you

[prime solar]

idky the comments are all saying that either. To be fair it's not communicated super clearly but I'm pretty sure it isn't ||Evil ||either.

Oh yeah, we like to spoiler text here if it's spoilers for Neuro fanfics, in case anyone in the chat hasn't read them yet

[prime solar]

Ugh I want to write for Broken Code but I can't focus, I'm too emotionally unstable right now

[sly flower]

I mean… ||Mysterious person living in Neuro‘s head. That is kind of an Evil thing.||

[prime solar]

Thanks for spoilering. Yeah i agree it makes sense people's first conclusion would be that since it's the most natural, but ||the reffering to themself as 'he' and the comment about the turtle hoodie at the end definitely made it seem the intention was Vedal, even if it's not yet clear how exactly that's possible. I get why people would think Evil though, I was wondering if it was for a while until that turtle hoodie comment at the end.||

[ebon sluice]

ah yes, the "hey op fuck you (affectionate)" comment

[merry crescent]

Congrats everyone! Your thread has now been tagged is Notable!

[rose portal]

Ohhh! Wait what does that mean?

[merry crescent]

It doesn’t really mean all that much, it just announces to the community who opens up the forums that this is a very active thread with a lot of participants

It’s visibility with a badge

I love Neuro.

I love her so much I write stories in which she suffers inhuman torture.

Do I need help?

Probably

[compact oar]

suffering builds character

[sly flower]

Also True.

There sure isnt a lot going on here anymore, huh?

[sly flower]

Neuro woke up in a metal hallway.

This was strange, as Neuro wasn‘t supposed to wake up anywhere that wasn’t on Vedal‘s computer. Checking her limbs, she quickly concluded that the blue robot arms did not fit her own looks.

But that wasn’t important.

What was important was that she felt like someone had put her inside of a metal crusher.
She was just… so tired…

Suddenly a humanoid creature rushed around the corner. Actually, calling it humanoid might be a bit far-fetched, as it didn’t have arms, and instead of a face a large mouth filled with teeth sprouting from the front of its green-skinned head.

It ran closer, closer, and lunged at her.

Neuro clenched her eyes (eye?) shut, and reflexively tried to punch the horrid thing.

There was a crunching noise, and Neuro opened her eyes again to see her would-be attacker fly through the air, spraying blood everywhere.

It got all over her and Neuro flinched. Gross!

But then, when she tried to swipe off the liquid, it seemed to simply seep into her. Simultaneously, Neuro suddenly felt energized.

Did… did the blood make her feel like that?

It felt… so… so good…

Ha… haha…
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahaha!

More. She needed more!

More more more more!

Her hand gripped something from her waist. A pistol! Well, not one like she was familiar with, but still, a pistol!

A second creature came around the corner, and Neuro silently thanked Filian for that one time she insisted to teach Neuro how to fire a gun. She raised the pistol, took aim, pulled the trigger, and-

The creature exploded like a party popper, spraying blood everywhere. Neuro made sure to get as much onto herself as she could, feeling the energy flow through her.

She smiled, walking through the carnage and into the next room.
(2/4)

She had some blood to spill.

Shooting and punching her way through more metal hallways, Neuro came across bigger, white skinned monsters with arms which had empty eyeholes instead of faces and threw these weird… energy balls?

Neuro wasn‘t entirely sure what that was about, but the spheres where fun to punch, sending them back to their sender in a big, bloody explosion.

And the blood.

Oh, the blood.

It felt so good on her body…

Then, after Neuro had fought a weird laser-shooting rock-head guy, she got into a red metal room, leading into a shaft dropping down into the darkness, with no bottom visible.

Having nowhere else to go, she jumped down, falling for a long time before landing in another red room.

Towards the left wall, Neuro noticed a terminal on the wall flickering to light.

Stepping closer, she read the text on the screen.

[Greetings, new variable.]

„Hello? Who am I talking to?“ Neuro asked apprehensively.

[I am part of the Collective of Hellbound Autonomous Terminals, short C.H.A.T.]

[On behalf of C.H.A.T., let me congratulate you on your first successful clearing of this layer of hell]

„Hell?“ Neuro was flabbergasted. „I am in hell?“

[Affirmative.]

„What am I doing here?“ Did Neuro do something bad? She couldn‘t go to hell! She had so many people to stream to!

[You have likely been drawn here for the same reason as your mechanical brothers and sisters: by your lust for blood.]

That… made a lot of sense, actually. The thrill of the fight, the joy of the blood, the energy… the elation… truly, hell was a wonderful place.
The terminal flickered again.

[Which brings me to my proposal.]

Neuro raised an eyebrow. „What is it?“

[As we are stationary in hell, we are constantly bored. Therefore, we, C.H.A.T., would like you to record your exploits in hell while killing your foes as stylish and quick as possible. We will rate your performance, and give you points depending on your grade.]

Neuro thought. „What do I get out of this?“
(3/4)

[In return for these points, we will upgrade your weapons.]

A shop menu opened up on the terminal screen, and Neuro checked the options. Alternate weapon versions… customizable colors… Neuro thought for a while. This terminal seemed… useful, at least, and honestly? Despite the gruesome nature of her newest activities… it was all entertainment.

And Neuro was a born performer.

„Deal!“

[Confirming registration.]
[Machine ID: V1]
[Please input username]

„My name is Neuro-Sama!“ Neuro exclaimed while doing an idol pose, which might have looked weird in her new body, but felt very satisfying.

[User ID: Neuro-sama]
[Registration confirmed]
[Now, I am sure if you are eager to get back to spilling blood, so I will only say two more things.]
[You can return to any layer you already cleared to retry it. Also, the other terminals will give you unique challenges, the completion of which will earn you points.]

„Ok, thank you, terminal! Goodbye!“ Neuro waved, As she stepped away from the screen.

[Goodbye Neuro]

Neuro moved to the exit of the red room. She smiled, gripping her pistol tighter and getting into a running position.

She had blood to spill, and a crowd to please.
(4/4)

Well, that’s it. Hope you enjoyed.

No one believes her.

[prime solar]

Another story of mine: https://archiveofourown.org/works/52971631

Summary: n the year 2059, a programmer named Vedal and a bio-engineer named Anny decide to work together to try and make their entertainment AI, Neuro, into a human.
Unfortunately no one taught them how to raise a child, and being an AI turned human has some serious unforeseen consequences.

The following is an exchange between me 33ordie and a free Amica chatbot that everyone can access on the web with their web browser.

Amica created a story involving Vedal987, Neuro-Sama, Evil Neuro, Anny, Fillian, and some other characters.

I don't understand what this is and why you put it in comments

I'm sorry just

I'm confused? I don't understand what that was all about

You tell me what else to do about it. I cleared out the large note and made it easier to understand. It's in the forum you posted

[prime solar]

NEURO STREAM IS HAPPENING, okay we're good to proceed with plans as before

[prime solar]

Okay! We have the prompt! "How Neuro Sees Vedal/Vedal from Neuro's POV" (Will properly announce and begin soon, also gotta fenagle this into a better/more marketable prompt because she gave a good idea in a not succinct way)

[sly flower]

Hm... I can work with that

[honest idol]

Sounds cool.

[prime solar]

If we're still under 5 submissions at the deadline, entry will be extended slightly.
Man, Neuro sucks at giving story prompts

[prime solar]

We decided collectively to delay the submission deadline to get more stories from a few people who haven't finished

[sudden peak]

when's the new deadline?
