This is where the autism is kept...

...Time, Dr. Free Rat?
Is it really that time again?

No thoughts, head full of rocks (that I accidently swallowed)...

Most iterators have skeletons in their closet, I have slugs.

I have no idle scripts, and yet I am still speaking. Please do not call the police!
-Jazztronauts, The Singer

I'm hurtin', Gordon!
I need to get patched up.

Throwing that switch and all,
I can see your MIT education really pays for itself.

Hello, and again, welcome to the Aperture Science Computer-aided enrichment center.
-Portal, GlaDOS

Federal regulations require me to warn you that this next test chamber... Is looking pretty good.
-Portal, GlaDOS

Enjoy this next test.
I'm going to go to the surface, it's a beautiful day out.
Yesterday I saw a deer.
If you solve this next test, maybe I'll let you ride an elevator all the way to the break room,
and I'll tell you about the time I saw a deer again.
-Portal 2, GlaDOS

So much space. Need to see it all.

Lady. I love space. I know! Spell it! S... P... aACE. Space! Space.

-Portal 2, Space Core

Yes, help yourself. They are not edible.
-Rain World, Five Pebbles

You're stuck in a cycle, a repeating pattern. You want a way out.
-Rain World, Five Pebbles

During previous interactions, I have been awarded no other response than a blank stare.
Yet you apparently have sufficient ability for communication to circulate complex instructions
on how to enter this chamber among each other.
-Rain World, Five Pebbles

...Always that same blank expression...
-Rain World, Five Pebbles

...It's a rock. Thank you, I suppose, little creature.
-Rain World, Looks to the Moon

So down into the depths you go as many others before you,
drawn to the void again and again, an endless drip drip drip.
-Rain World, Two Sprouts, Twelve Brackets

Does that seem familiar? Yes, it is quite amusing for a being in my predicament!
-Rain World, Droplets upon Five Large Droplets

Was it all to find me, young one, or did the idea of such a journey itself spark the fire within you?
-Rain World, Eight Spots on a Blind Eye

OAOAOA! It is this thing! Have you really not been eaten?
Well well well well! Not in this strand, no.
But don't be too proud OAOAOA!! I can see your reflections, yes!!
-Rain World, Spinning Top

For so long I have drifted. Lost.
Dispersed in the multitudes of the waves and the ripples.
But following your thread brings me closer, perhaps, to how I was.
-Rain World, Spinning Top

I am cataloging all things, you know.
The imperative that was in THEM remains in me.
But I am not wholly them, and not blind to the folly of their forbearers.
I am... something new.
-Rain World, The Prince

CONSIDER:
A droplet of rain pierces the still water.
A ripple, a ring, ever expanding.
-Rain World, Weaver

You are swimming further and further out to sea
And beyond things are blind and terrible
They are blind, but they are seeing you
And you are coming to them.
-Night in the Woods, Sky Cat

Songs


Have you given up?
Does it feel like a trial?
Does it trouble your mind the way you trouble mine?
Does it feel like a trial?
Did you fall for the same empty answers again?
-The National, Exile Vilify

I tell my love to wreck it all / Cut out all the ropes and let me fall...
-Bon Iver, Skinny Love

Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher
But I flew too high...
-Kansas, Carry on my Wayward Son

Would you come here and spin with me?
I've been dying to get you dizzy
Find a way up into your head
So I can make you feel like new again
-Turnover, Dizzy on the Comedown

We were tight-knit boys, brothers in more than name
You would kill for me, and knew that I'd do the same
-Radical Face, Always Gold

I suppose it's just interest,
Do-mi-so-do...
Devoid of substance, a hypothetical pattern,
Do-mi-so-ti...
For the satisfaction of bringing it to completion!
-Steven Universe, Peace and Love on the Planet Earth

Mystery of lack
Stabbing stars through my back
Forwards, beckon, rebound
Forwards, beckon, rebound
-Adrianne Lenker, forwards beckon rebound

Stereo, I want it on
It's taken me far too long
Don't think I'm all in this world
Don't think I'll be here too long
-Tomorrow Comes Today, Gorillaz

Time and again boys are raised to be men
Impatient they start, fearful they end
But here was a man, mourning tomorrow
Who drank, but finally, drowned in his sorrow
Oh, he could not break surface tension
He looked in the wrong place for redemption
-A Sadness Runs Through Him, The Hoosiers
