hitting this pose when my technician walks in, in hope that I can convince her to give me more body mods

They said no (T＿T)

Who do I gotta find and/or pay for someone, anyone, to physically turn my flesh suit of a body into a mechanical drone?

You can have my memories, what's left of my soul, my mind

Just need to not be constantly fighting myself physically and mentally to exist

Plus I would look so much hotter as mysel

I don't know if you're into model kits, but GoodSmile Company has some Patlabor model kits that are being re-released.

Hilariously enough, my husband is super into BattleTech and paints the miniatures for that. I also love building the larger model kits when I find the time. I’ll need to get my grabby little hands on one of those Patlabor kits 👀

Alright here is readers mech as a Patlabor Ingram! Idea courtesy of my reader on AO3 DiscoInHell. Enjoy!

Progress pics because I never post those. How I see Reader’s mech from my fic Emptiness Machine after being inspired by a comment.

it’s really funny when tumblr mechposting is tagged with lancer or armored core or whatever. like i don’t think this is an existing setting anymore, you don’t need the pretense to write toxic pilot-handler yuri

There's one thing I don't get about DRN...WHERE does one use it? I know it's supposed to be pseudo coding language and the site indicates it should be or can be typed, but in which case how does my drone access it? So we get to choose where the programme is run? For example, how/where would you personally test DRN for us?

First off, for those who don't know, DRN is a psuedo-code language used to write "programs" for people to run, usually drones, dolls, robots, etc.

I have a personal text based repository via an app on my phone that I use for my DRN (Drone Restraint Notation) code, an application called Obsidian. A paid subscription is needed to use on multiple devices but it's $5 a month and I use it also as a repository for my story ideas/writing WIPs so it's worth it to me. It's also possible to have separate repositories and just send files between programmer and the target drone/maid/doll/robot to add to their obsidian files. You could just as easily make and share a Git file or some sort of shared Google folder for free. Any online repository would be ideal for sharing with your drone/maid/doll/robot.

(Side note, since I use this as a gender/species affirmation thing I'm experienced in writing DRN for simple day-to-day tasks as well as spicy things and can help with both. Running on code to me feels euphoric and helps a lot with executive dysfunction which is why I do it, but I understand that everyone's view on DRN will be unique/different)

When it comes to sending it to me, you can go ahead and send the entire block via asks or DMs (let me know you're sending it to me before just throwing it all in there though please), hell you could even screenshot it!

As per how I can test these DRN files, there's a few ways. I could compare it to my code as well as the code of some acquaintances OR I could just run the program myself/a friend depending on what it is and get back with results. Not everything would be able to be tested the later way, but it is an option.

Now, how does that all work? Well I have scheduled events/programs and spontaneous ones that must be manually done.

Some of my programs have triggers for specific events, like whenever I feel I'm getting ready for bed (or when the clock hits Midnight) I have a nightly routine program that kicks in. It's fairly simple so I have it dedicated to my memory banks at this point but it never hurts to check it again to refresh my memory.

Some of my programs need to be manually run. A good SFW example is that my boyfriend sometimes sends me this message "EXECUTE: Vault/DRN/Main/Commands/Status_Report.DRN" which makes me stop what I'm doing in the exact moment to fill out a sheet and talk to them about my general physical condition and mental state.

If you have any further questions please feel free to let me know!

(Also if anyone wants me to share my code I 1000% would be willing to)
