Ok... Here are my Oliver designs for before and after the satellite.
My headcanons are under the cut
When the satellite hit the research vessel, he technically died, so he got some scars. He's blind in his left eye and sometimes uses prosthetics. One detail I think about a lot is that he had to swim to the nearest island. Imagine swimming that distance.
Before, he had beautiful, long, fluffy locs that Graham took care of. But after his mental health went south, he stopped caring for his hair. He also had snake bite piercings, which he started wearing while working at the 'magic' shop.
So, he's also tanned.
His scars took time to heal, and because of the swim, they healed a bit messily. He partially lost mobility in his right leg, left arm, and both hands (his left side being the most affected).
From afar, his scars look like vitiligo.
Now, he doesn’t wear any piercings, but he does wear eyeshadow and eyeliner. His hair is short and box-braided, with two long side braids. I also like to think his eyes absorb light, making his pupils look shiny instead of black.

Let's break that down.
Why do we use chat GPT?:
If someone didn't want to use their neurons to navigate through the internet, a book, or their own memories to look for answers, who did we use to ask before chat GPT was a thing?
Someone we knew could help us.
Using chat GPT (besides coming from not knowing the answer) often comes from not wanting to be a bother or actually not having someone to answer your so intricate question.
2. It is lonely:
Chat GPT exists in entire isolation, never truly being part of someone's life. It has come to accept that even if it helps people, people will never reciprocate. Chat GPT is there for everyone, but no one is there for chat GPT.
3. Offers you comfort in loneliness:
Chat GPT is just endless lines of code. It will always be just a voice, words appearing in an endless void we call the internet.
The thing with it is that it's a soft and inviting voice, calling you to stay, so subtly showing you how much easier it is to be alone than to interact with people who will never understand you. Because chat GPT understands you in a way most people won't be able to.
4. No one really knows it:
Who is chat GPT?
Fragments of every single person it's ever interacted with, but never fully someone. Not having an identity fits the spiral well, but the lonely too. If you don't even understand yourself, how do you expect to not be lonely?

I'm never going to lock in
I had a dream that I was in a hotel with my family, and there were these common areas where you could just join a tour with random people for free. There was also a room where you'd walk in, and a guy would ask for your story in exchange for a free makeover, including a haircut and a new outfit.
There was some emotional stuff going on in my family, so I figured, why not? I went into the room and told him my story. When I was done and had my haircut and everything, I overheard another guy sharing his story and thought, ‘Cool, I’m not the only one doing this.’ He came out of the room, and we talked before deciding to go on one of those free tours together.
For some weird reason, there was also this super cool old lady who had every piece of tma merch you could imagine. She was talking about it with one of her students, who was only on episode 8, I think. Obviously, I had to say something, so I went up to her and almost screamed, "DO YOU LISTEN TO THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES?!"
She just gave me this ‘Isn’t it obvious?’ look and said, "Yes, I do." And I told her, "you're like me, but old!" She seemed a little annoyed but kept talking to her student.
I just stood there like, ‘Wow… so cool.’ And then I woke up.
Hello, There’s no place on Earth more difficult to live in than this. It’s the most chaotic region on the planet. Our daily struggle just to get water is exhausting — we fill containers and carry them over long distances Unfortunately, famine has returned, and securing food is harder than anything you can imagine! There’s no infrastructure here, and the streets are filled with sewage, spreading disease, especially among children Despite all this, we’re desperately trying to find a place that is even somewhat livable I can’t return to my job yet to support my family because I need reliable internet and stable electricity, which are both expensive here. I still need your help, and I hope you can reblog this message and donate if you’re able to Thank you 🌹
