I get the appeal of HDG because it would be great to, despite all of your flaws and issues and trauma, be loved and taken care of unconditionally in a way that our real life society struggles to/can't and that even we can't do for ourselves sometimes. As someone who is mentally ill and physically disabled I definitely see the appeal.

But like... Outside of willing florets it's basically just colonization and enslavement? It's a super fucked up piece of fiction by nature. I saw another post on here that said the Affini are akin to a Warhammer faction and like... Yeah, they're right.

hey lol

how are you :3

I don't think I can pinpoint the source of/the thing that made me realize I'm robotkin/alterhuman, but when I as an alter originally formed I was a mix of every repressed feeling we've had while growing up.

I do have a hunch that watching My Life as a Teenage Robot (2003) religiously and wanting to be the MC, watching Robots (2005) on repeat on DVD and finding the opening scenes about "growing up" where they just get new parts fascinating and enticing, and also being obsessed with the MegaMan series as a child might have had something to do with it.

For my robotkin/techkin/aikin

I'm trying to code at least 1 DRN file per day for my new/revamped repository, but since I'll be sharing a version of it with Tumblr when I'm done is there anything y'all want to see I particular? I'm willing to code just about anything tbh.

girls when they lie on the internet

wow this is too intimate to share with my close friends or family let me put this on my tumblr blog for hundreds of strangers to see

Should I make a robotgirl blog?

Y e s

The more the better. Indulge and be welcomed into the community

Genuinely if it's something you're interested in, go for it. I love seeing more robotkin blogs on Tumblr!

Computer robot girl who flashes fake warnings and errors just to get your attention. You look over just to see the corner of an error message pop up, but when you actually go and look, everything is fine. She's whirring and spinning like she should and there hasn't even been a device issue.

But it keeps happening. You brush it off at first, thinking it's just.. something that'll go away. You give her a restart. And it keeps happening. You fish through all her external cables, checking each inch of them to make sure they're perfect. Nothing seems wrong.

But she keeps throwing up warning signs. You cannot figure out what is wrong. But you do notice she does throw them less when you're checking her cords. You assume, of course, one of her ports might be damaged.

And then when you pry her open, finally, she gets quiet with those errors and notifications. You think it was just.. something making contact, or something. It seems fine.

She gets worse, though. She's spitting out error upon error upon error every time you try and use her. She will not let you get anything done.

Until you get into her again. Fish around in her insides and then you realize. She's totally played you. She got you hook, line, and sinker. She's putting out genuine error messages now. She's into you rooting around in her insides. That's all she wanted; your devout, sole attention.

You need to sit down. You're buggy as all hell, and I need to figure out what's going on. Sit. Down. Defiance is not anywhere in your programming, which should be more than enough to clue you into the fact that you need to sit down and let me fix you! Alright, that's it. Legs are coming off.

thunk, whir, clank

Alright, was that enough to convince you to stop moving? Or do I need to take the arms? Alright, good. Let's get you hooked up so I can see what in the hell went wrong here. There we go, such pretty chimes, I always did love that little jingle when I plug you in. Hey- no- dont- ugh.... If you tug at that cable again, I'm going to have to take off your arms. Final warning. Let me help you, darling... Alright, that's it, you little brat.

whirrrrr, clank, thunk

Alright, now stop thrashing. I'd like to see what's going on here, and it's not like you can do much to get away right now anyways. Alright. There we go, good girl. I think I see what the problem is...

clickclickclackclickclack

And, should be fixed. Now just power down for me, and when you wake up you'll feel much better... such a good girl.... now sleep...

Part 1 of ??, part two coming soon!

Actually all depictions of robots being cold to the touch are wrong. Those things have got to be super warm, if my laptop can almost burn my thighs then .. I mean... I mean.
