What if there's no getting better, and it just keeps on repeating with diminishing glorification until things get so bad Death shows up because all the other consequences are fed up with the main character?
"depiction is not automatically glorification" can and should coexist with "some depiction is glorification and you need to be able to tell the difference"
your edible is never going to kick in because you're a bad person
Hey. Your brain needs to de-frag. Literally it needs you to sit there and space out.
If you want your memory or executive function to improve, stare out a window at the skyline or sidewalk or trees or birds on the electrical wires for like 20+ minutes per day. (With no other stimulation like a podcast or TV if you can manage but hey baby steps innit). If you're fortunate enough to have safe outside with any bits of nature, go stare closely at a 1 meter square of grass and trip out on the bugs and shapes of grasses and stuff.
Literally this will make you smarter. Our brains HAVE TO HAVE this zone out time to do important stuff behind the scenes. This does not happen during sleep, it's something else.
That weird pressurized feeling you get sometimes might be your brain on no defrag.
Give your brain a Daily Dose Of De-Frag.
It's such a shame too, the original version was a human-like group who had to change themselves into these cybernetic monsters just to survive. They wanted to convert humans as a mercy.
I feel like there's something valuable in the Moffat era in how often they independently crop up, and in the classic era for being able to see just a little bit of the actor.
Maybe there could be some kind of transhumanist story, where people actively become cybermen in an experiment to circumvent the need to terraform a planet so they can go out and collect resources on a struggling colony. It could have been going well for a while. These cybermen could have names, like the original, and eventually people decide to undergo conversion to reduce the resources needed to get by. Or the cybermen, seeing their people continuing to suffer, decide to remove that suffering by force.
IDK, just thought it'd be an interesting story idea.
the concept of the cybermen is magnificent. it's creepy. it's disturbing. it's the terror of undeath and the horror of coming back wrong. it's the endless march of capitalism, it's the commodification of disability aids, it's the ceaseless machinations of time. it's monopolisation. it's euthanasia as a substitute for healthcare. it's a lot of things. unfortunately many cyberman appearances can be boiled down to "scary army of robots invades" and frankly if i wanted to watch fiction about a robot and not the cybermen i'd just put on, well, robot.
I'd say Rizzo and Gonzo are Nobby and Fred Colon respectively; you can't be the night/city watch without Nobby and Colon and you can't have a muppet adaptation without Rizzo and Gonzo.
It wouldn't work.
Muppets "Guards, Guards!" adaptation with Kermit as Vimes and Miss Piggy as Sybil. I'm right.
But would they be sworn to carry my burdens?
New H3 idea:
When you go to the base (or whatever it is called in the future), you can choose one of the other characters there to come with you as you travel the overworld, like a partner in crime (or a meat shield)
What if we start from this entity and work backwards?
It's a sad fact that every long running universe based upon themes and tones of isolation, limiality, and cosmic horror gets worn down by overexplanation, overpopulation of the universe with entities, overuse, and eventually irony and financial exploitation. Derlething happened to Lovecraft, it happened to SCPs, it happened in record times to the backrooms.
sylens, the focus isn’t the only thing that’s projecting
