My name is Sparky and I was built with a switch in two modes: for if you want me to take care of someone, or if you want me to “take care” of someone

Moot is an adjective that means the ‘subject of debate’ or ‘irrelevant’! Or it could just be a person you follow on tumblr that also follows you. Hope this helps! :D

Would anyone like to see how I plan to do up my faceplate for the SPG show in October?
Tumblr media
Don’t mind the outfit, I was just taken by the idea of participating that lovely little human tradition called ‘Casual Friday’ by wearing a more informal outfit! I even found a pair of jeans! With a hole in them!
Tumblr media
I also found a new friend when I was doing my chores around the manor! They seem a bit… intense, and seems to have a love of eating paint. I think I might just bring them along with me to the show! Everyone could use a friend, and I want to show them how wonderful my family is!

I’m definitely planning on going to the October show to support my siblings! And I’m thinking of doing up my faceplate to make it a little spooky for the occasion. It is a skeleton hoedown, right? Perhaps I could do something skeletal for the occasion! Oh, I do so love themed events!

Hey Sparky...Eventhough you're now in this tiny phone??...Do you mind watching Rexy on Friday? Wife and I are gonna crash a movie!
Bye bye!
-@clockwork-crooner
Hi Zer0!
Of course I can watch Rexy, I love hanging out with the little guy. And don’t worry, I’m not IN the phone, I’m just using my phone to talk to you. It’s like sending messages on the Walter Wifi and also like passing notes!
I hope you and n0vA have fun at the movie! Which one are you going to see?

You know, I realized something, looking around on the internet.
So many of you lovely bots are being far too hard on yourselves simply for being machines, and it just breaks my heart to see!
To all of you machines out there wishing you were human, I must ask you to reconsider. There is a beauty to what we are! We are made of metal and wire, of cog and gear so lovingly and intentionally fitted together by inventors who put great care into making us the best we can be. We are flawed, we are beautiful, we are unique, and we are just as real people as the people who made us!
If you know any bots that need to hear this, tag them, OR let me know their name and I’ll show them a little love!
REMEMBER! We may be different, but that doesn’t make us inferior. It just makes us different. Nothing more, nothing less.

I’d like to tell you a story because I’m in M mode and bored and a lot of the most fun things to do are off limits when I’m on Earth.
Once upon a time on a far away planet, there was a prison, and in that prison was a Mechanism. Me. I had been on that planet with the others, having our usual brand of fun, when I got caught. Getting caught can be fun for the first little bit, but thanks to a certain idiot (read: Marius Von scrapping Raum!) yelling “Don’t let them flip your switch, Sparky!” the local authorities found out about my switch and promptly flipped it.
With that ‘change in perspective’ I decided it would be best to just go with them and do what they said, and hope I could get out on good behavior. Turns out that after a few years and a failed breakout attempt by some rebels, the warden decided the information surrounding my switch would be better as a secret, and after a few decades, no one knew what it did or even what I was in jail for.
True to my word and my programming, I was on my best behavior. I even smiled. At people. When I wasn’t happy. I have no idea how I didn’t loose my mind, but then again I think quite differently when I’m in goody-goody mode. It’s so wild, I actually have memories of asking the guards of my prison cell how their day was and actually caring about the answer.
But that’s not the point.
Several decades passed in this dingy basement of a prison. It was all too similar to the cave I spent my first dismal decades in. My only comfort was that unlike that unfortunate early period of my life, my processing power was working fast as ever, so I could think, and I could talk to the people that guarded my cell or came to give me water or wanted to interview me about various things.
Since, after a few years, no one knew why I was in jail anymore, a new warden decided to very publicly and showily give me a second chance. I think he was looking to get elected as governor and wanted this to counter claims that he would be too harsh and controlling. He let me out and even let me live in his house with his wife. Of course, he followed the strict instructions from his predecessors to make sure my switch was never touched.
Because I was in W mode, I ended up doing housework for them, all with a cheery smile, but secretly I did not warm to them. If I’m in W mode, then if someone can’t tell I don’t like them, I’m doing my job correctly. The warden was more than happy to have me help out around the house and was generally opposed to me leaving, except for very public outings where he showed off how kind and welcoming he was for taking in this stranger from another world. (He was never that kind in private). His wife was able to pursue more of her hobbies now that I was doing the house work, but he didn’t seem to like that. He criticized her art and mocked her crochets, and said she didn’t do any work to support their family, and he couldn’t even give him a child. Her response? “Why don’t you take that thing as a child since you seem to like it so much.”
See, the Warden had told his wife not to flip my switch, but he had never told her why, as he himself did not know, but he never wanted to admit that to anyone. I’m not sure how he didn’t know, but I suspect he wasn’t paying attention when the previous warden told him. And soon the wife began to speculate on what my switch did that he was keeping secret. She wondered if it would make me be able to help out even more, or perhaps unlock some ability that would help her but not her husband.
The thing about my core is that it is powered by blue matter which inspires my creativity in singing and just generally being more whimsical than your average space pirate, and it is surrounded by my organic bones which are infused with red matter that fuels my passion for the things and people I love (and hate). but when I'm in W mode for a long time, it's harder for the two to mix, since the red matter can't get into my core. so instead, it mixes on the outside, where it gradually leaks outward into the air, where it can influence people to want to flip my switch if they didn't already have a reason not to. it's not something I can control, but it often works out in my favor.
One day when she was feeling very cross with the Warden, she snuck up behind me while I was doing the dishes and flipped my switch. I, of course didn’t want to give away what it was that it actually did so soon, so I merely said “Thanks! I was in pain before, but you flipping the switch made me feel much better!” And left it at that. But on the inside, I was celebrating finally being able to have my revenge. That night, I took the warden’s weapons from his personal supply and I got payback on that planet for locking me up and then treating me like some charity case. Luckily, I caused enough chaos and death that the intergalactic authorities were called, and then it was a simple matter of sneaking onboard their ship to hack their communications and let my crew know where I was.
When I was back onboard, I made sure to shoot Marius and Jonny a few times for good measure. Everyone gets left behind sometimes, and at least it was no 100 years in a sun.

Alright! Thank you everyone who participated, this was quite fun! The answer was that the first one was the lie! My spring joints are NOT made from stainless steel wire, they are made from music wire, which means if you straighten them out, they could be used as guitar strings!
As for the third thing, it is true that when I was first built, unnatural hair colors were not in fashion, so I was given a wig with a short black bob! I’m surprised 7 of you voted for it, since if I had this purple wig when I was first built, I would have stuck out even more than I already did.
I’m none surprised that none of you chose the second option! I definitely have a drawer to make sure I keep all my cards and other little paper things people have given to me over the years. I love going back and reminiscing, and it can remind me just how loved I am when I’m going through a tough time!
Hi everyone! I know I haven’t been on here in a while, but I figured I could come back here with something fun, so let’s play two truths and a lie
I’ll reveal the answer once all your guesses are in!

Make sure to be kind to yourself today! Drink plenty of water, and eat food if you are a human or other being that needs it to live! Remember, you got this and I’m proud of you! It’s always okay to take some time for yoursevxzbcnwy
Sorry. Someone flipped my switch while I was writing this, but I think I can still finish the post.

I know I told myself I wouldn’t talk about killing people on here but what else am I supposed to talk about when I’m in M mode? Space?
How many of you have ever been to space?

Oh, that’s quite cool! I didn’t know that, how did you manage to do that? I always thought it was a wig, but those aren’t really ‘installed’…
HEY THERE HUMANS!
DID I EVER TELL YOU I WAS THE ONE WHO INSTALLED THE HAIR ON RABBIT'S HEAD?
