Here’s A Computer For You To Draw: Wopr/joshua From Wargames [1983]

I think my favorite detail I've picked up on from tonight's WarGames rewatch is that when the kids first meet Falken he terrorizes them with a flying machine. twice.

like I'm pretty sure he flies his pterosaur into them on purpose and there is NO way he wasn't laughing his ass off while chasing them in his helicopter with his bright ass spotlight. :sob: what is his problem

i feel like joshua would be very very afraid of AM but also because they were both created for the same purpose i think he would see him as family in a weird way... it would be like that one meme of a fucked up path and a niceys path. hes subconsciously looking for a father figure and he can either get attached to his fellow war machine who is fucked up and evil (AM) or he can latch onto the much more calm and collected government ai who isnt fucked up and evil (HAL). auto isnt relatable or warm enough for him to be considered in the equation LMAO

I'm both attracted to non sentient objects and sentient objects.

Yes, wanting to get with HAL is objectum

Yes wanting to get with WOPR is objectum

Yes wanting to get with Edgar is objectum

Yes wanting to get with AM is objectum

Yes wanting to get with a sentient object is objectum

Yes wanting to get with a non sentient object is objectum

Your objectum sexuality is valid no matter whether you're posic or not. Whether it's a sentient computer that can think for itself, or just a regular laptop. Whether it's a fictional object, or something from real life. Whether it's something you own, or something public. Whether it's simply a platonic bond or deep attraction.

Even if you don't think you're objectum cuz you're only attracted to technology with faces, or not attracted to technology, pooltoys, or plushies. You're objectum. Go get with that chair. Go get with that plant. Go get with that book. Go get with that electric fan. Get with that soda. You're valid.

tl/dr no matter what kind of object you're attracted to, whether you're posic or not, or the object is fictional or not, whether it's got a face or not, platonic or not, you're valid

YAHAYYYYY!!!!!!!!

SO COOL!!!!!!!! I'm probably super late to posting this model here but OMG!!!!!

there's more pictures on the site. so cool!!!! and finally gives me some easy references for when I draw him XD

War planning can be exhausting. It's about time he got his much needed nap!

thanks for the commission c: @hecklefreckled

yo yo Joshua!!!! what's your relationship like with Falken? if you're still in contact with him. also COUGh I love you

(Joshua sees Falken as his dad, and wants to be like a son to him. But Falken is a little apprehensive about it, he doesn't want this computer to be a replacement for his dead son. Sorry Joshua...)

Me when the AI misses me. Me when he wants to play a nice game of chess. Me when I name him after my dead son. Me when I look at him as if he IS my dead son. Me when he hasn't learned futility. Me when he learns and grows. Me when "he's still a child, you know, just a child who wants his way"
