hhh this isnt re any one specific person or fic, but I've gotta say, while I love the fact that V1 is nonverbal in canon, man, I wish people would think about the implications of their alternate forms of communication for it more (as well as what that means re characterization).
Like... if you're going to have it use sign, I am BEGGING you to do literally ANY research into sign languages. Also, the character choices some people make when it uses direct messaging are... sigh. I mean, if you're going to explore what communication looks like for V1, or what not having a voice module means vis-a-vis how it processes language, by all means play around with it!
But if you're going to have it be incapable of forming coherent sentences in writing while having V2 or other vocal machines capable of forming coherent sentences, I'm going to be really turned off unless you're willing to portray a really good reason for it. It just really rubs me the wrong way, like the implication that V1 is less intelligent due to not being able to speak. Idk. Again, not calling anyone out, just wish there were a bit more thought in general.

So, about that new animation,,
I THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY. I THOUGHT I WAS JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS.. BUT I WAS RIGHT?!?! GUH?!?!
Anyways, as i do with all characters with this umbrella of trauma, I wish for Mirage to be in a grassy plains where no worries meet her.
DIENEDKDJ, so I gave good hints! Well, it's good enough for people to be suspicious of what is going on (which was more so the point until I felt it was time to reveal it)
Also, I think the teal color is the "when I see you cry" animation? I might have used it somewhere else, but I remember specifically using it as the venom for the white snakes for that one
Also, THE SNAKES, THE SNAKES, ARE THE BIGGEST METAPHORE IVE BEEN TRYING TO SAY BTW[NOW I GET TO SAY THAT] I think I spoke about that on what the snakes could mean cause I didn't wanna give it away. That and their antennae have meaning, but I don't expect people to get that one yet
thank you for the doodle she's adorable, Mirage deserves all the love, with no worries at all
(I did not give her that glory tho)
[You also have a really cute art style btw, love it sm]
drew over something i wrote for a class and liked :] sorry the cars are lowkey ugly, its because I fucking hate cars and cant be bothered to learn what they look like beyond ominous hunks of metal

6 Tips for Crossing the Road
Look both ways
The road is for cars.
Make sure to look for them before crossing. Even when you have the right of way, cars have a lot of safety features and you have none.
Use designated crosswalks
The road is for cars.
So is the crosswalk but, under brief and temporary conditions, you can use it too! Never jaywalk, never walk in the road, just hope there is a clear and functional sidewalk.
Cross at the light
The road is for cars.
There are rules and signs for them, but that can only go so far. Walk quickly and hold your breath and hope that the light doesn't turn. Make eye contact with drivers as their cars teem with potential energy, rumbling with disdain at the inconvenience of your crossing. Try to ignore the cloud of exhaust that you are in and they are above.
Leash your pets
The road is for cars.
Obviously.
To you, it may be natural to sacrifice so much space to them but to your dog, it is not. His instinct is to explore freely. You must curb it. Modern US car models have such high hoods that the average child, let alone dog, is obscured. Even on the sidewalk, hold the leash tight because the sidewalk (if you are so blessed) is next to the street and the threat still looms.
Look out for road kill
The road is for cars.
And no one was there to leash the deer.
Or the raccoon.
Or the cat.
Did you know that the most reliable sample method for wildlife in an area is looking at the roadkill?
Remember these tips
The road is for cars.
Cars are everywhere. In the city. In the suburbs. In the country. In the woods (the US Forest Service manages more roads than the entire Ministry of Transit in China.) Cars are everywhere because there are roads to bring them there, which is great if you are a car and want to get from place to place fast without worrying about the in-between.
Unfortunately, you are not a car.
You are an animal.
You are in-between.
So remember to look both ways.

i really like this image
the thing about being nonbinary is that you really do start to forget that other people have such strict walls around what is and isn’t allowed for genders. i thought we all agreed that we made that up. could you climb out of the cave real quick and feel the sunshine for a minute.
Mirage and oc interaction :3
And my oc ref
if you are asexual and/or aromantic, what's your gender?
cisgender
binary trans
nonbinary
agender/genderless
multigender (genderfluid/-flux, bi-/pangender, etc)
queer/genderqueer
questioning and/or unlabeled
something not listed here
more than one of the above
not ace or aro/results
ik there's some overlap with some of these genders so if you use more than one of these labels, just choose the option you think is most specific to yourself if you can or the "more than one of these" option if you can't
