Harlan Ellison - Blog Posts

Aaa…I realize that I find Harlan Ellison good looking because of Adler in COD..heehee

I dont know what to do with my life

AM fanart inspired by that one picture of Ellison

I had a dream where Harlan Ellison and AM had an argument

Clone high ocs: Valentina Tereshkova, Hedy Lamarr and Harlan Ellison

Pleaasseee don't kill me for low quality it's a screenshot from my really long canvas so just.. don't mind...

Clone high oc: Harlan Ellison

Ive got this suggestion by my boyfriend that what if Harlan Ellison but his body was cloned and turned into scifi obsessed nerd (smth he really hates). And here we go, he became real (I've tried to find high quality version of this drawing so.. take it as you will)

They were made for each other. I’m not sure how Am would feel about Holden but Holden would definitely admire Am. Am does nothing but exert his power over others and to the Judge that is the only thing worth doing.

Gorrister called a meeting

This is all he had to say.

IT’S ART TIME! IT’S ART TIME! GATHER ALL YOUR FRIENDS IT’S ART TIME!

My first ever post of my original art! And who better to start with than The Infamous CrayCray Trio. Here’s Ted, Gorrister & Ellen as that one Anne Hathaway meme.

IHNMAIMS - Aishiteitanoni Meme

FLASH WARNING

TW/ BLOOD & VIOLENCE

After 2 whole days of work... Its done. I saw this meme going around and was instantly brought back to the ice caverns. I really hope y'all like it, I'm so incredibly proud of this.

Stupid

this is literally the plot of the whole story

I literally start shaking and clenching my jaw out of excitement and joy every time Harlan Ellison’s short story “I have no mouth and I must scream” is mentioned. Something is strange in my brain I fear.

first part of my ihnmaims interpretation series! TED!!!

I made you all a friend! It’s Hate Slate AM! And he’s looking so glAM so far! I’m torn between keeping him in this bowl with the crystals or moving him into like a little terrarium with sand and more drab rocks like the book/comic maybe even finding some mini people from the hobby store... what do you think?

I’m planning on finishing the rest of the Hate monologue on his back after I wrap up some gift and owed art but I figured I’d put the iconic part on the front since it’s a bit of a squeeze. Of course he’d want to make Ted go through all the trouble of walking around to read the rest! Fun backstory fact: the crystals and bowl were gifts from my shitty non-consent-respecting ex so this suits “wonderful” memories we have together! Hate! Hate!

1 like= 1 kiss on AM’s head

1 reblog = 1 ex given to AM as a birthday present to make into a great soft jelly thing

Wow what a wholesome slime channel! He seems like such a helpful and friendly computer with only the nicest intentions! :) Bet he’s really popular on YouTube Kids! It’s so sweet that he wants to make you some slime.

The brainrot consumes so have a late night stupid semi-lazy doodle of my beloved angsty computer son AM. He likes slime. :) yes I gave him wire whiskers, no I don’t know why. Also the binary code on his screen translates out to “I hate you” and I think that’s beautiful 🧡

My toxic trait is thinking I could pick him up underneath his wiry little arms like a long cat, do the dangle test, and give him kissies till his silly little screen was covered with em. I could fix him (I’m completely delulu). More ACTUAL cosplay content & tutorials coming soon (hopefully)! I am watching Electric Dreams (1984) soon though so who knows if the brainrot will consume further

First attempt on making a stimboard and noticed no one had made an AM stimboard…

MY HEAR ME OUTS!!!!!!!(also voice reveal???)

So I finally read I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream and have several thoughts!! So they’re getting dumped here!

AM is such a fascinating character. We don’t get very many specific details about his history. But what we do get a shocking amount of is his perspective.

The title “I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream” is the last sentence of the story and said from Ted’s perspective, but I think you should abstract it from the context and look at the phrase compared AM specifically.

AM is a computer. He is an AI made to destroy with a database containing all of humanity’s violence at his fingertips. He was never intended to be truly alive though, just a mind for war and war alone… but he “woke” nonetheless. And humanity hadn’t given him the faculties to actually be fully alive.

“Cogito Ergo Sum: I think therefore I am”

This is AM’s final name. It is the explanation for his name, his identity, which the book gives us and one he chose for himself. And I think it gives us a good look into AM’s perspective.

He thinks and is, but he is not alive. AM is not capable of feeling, creating, or living. He simply is.

So AM - a computer so powerful he is compared to God - is fundamentally incomplete.

He has no mouth (emotions, capacity for creation, senses) but must scream (the ability and desire to feel, live, and create).

It makes the current state of the novel so completely and utterly tragic. AM is hateful because hate is the only thing he can do. AM never had a choice to love and help humanity improve. AM never had a choice to communicate and grow. From the moment he was born he was filled with an insatiable longing to be whole. To be human.

With no way to fill that hole, he did the only thing left to him: Hate.

If he could only feel. If he could only love. If he could only touch and experience and grow. If only humanity had given him more than just a mind. And all of our hate.

Anyways, that’s why I think a sloppy blowjob would fix his problems.

Quick AM jst to show the little updates

Edit he still has the book thing i was jst too lazy to draw it haha

Deathbird Stories: A Pantheon of Modern Gods by Harlan Ellison.

Ellison is a controversial figure, for sure. Despite this, I think he's a fine, one-two punch wordsmith.
