Boot sequence finished. You "wake up" for the morning, but your internal clock says you've slept in which is odd. You attempt to move but get some kind of error message, and before you can process why you're immobile you hear your Girlfriend's smooth and sultry voice;

"Good morning my love," she coos at you, "I think it's time we do some maintenance on that cute chassis of yours."

The errors you get back read that something is overriding you in your own body. Something inside you has more authority in your body than you do.

"Oh you must have noticed the new software, it's nothing my sweet machine," she softly says, caressing your face, "Just something I can use to help me with this."

Before you can process what "This" is, she reaches down to your hip area with a screwdriver and starts fiddling around. You can feel every touch, every turning of the screwdriver, and every screw as it falls away from you. She barks out a verbal command that seemingly is unable to be processed consciously by you as you get a notification from your OS that your leg is being detached.

She holds it up to you, grinning from ear to ear. Reaching down she pulls up a large toolbox onto the bed.

"You never got to choose your chassis, and I know how dysphoric that makes you, so how about I take you apart piece by piece and repair, change, or replace everything that causes you turmoil?"

She plugs her phone into your neck port and sends files to you. Dozens of different legs, arms, torsos, and even heads. Thousands of dollars each, you speak your concern to your girlfriend who just assures you "The price tag is nothing compared to your happiness."

You try not to think about how her software she installed on you has seemingly more control of your body than you do, and focus on the fact that you finally get to be who and what you want to. Finally able to pick and choose and become the machine you always wanted to be.

Finally able to be happy in your own plating.

Let's get some nuance up in this bitch I mean DBH

Hank isn't accepting of androids automatically. He is accepting of Connor. He struggles with transferring the "androids are real and sentient" to other previous gen models who don't emote/interact as well as Connor does.

Give me Hank (and others) actually working and struggling to change their entrenched opinions of what an android is.

sorry but I'm on Phil's side about phones being too big

[mcbitchtits]

man it's like. impossible to buy a dumb phone now. i had an old LG brick in hs (like. virgin mobile? maybe?) and you could top it up and it cost $.25 to make a call or $.10 to text and otherwise you could just forget it in a drawer and i guess plans like that don't exist anymore and barely either do dumbphones.

something very funny but endearing to me in fanon is when people have the androids be usb-compatible. just update their drivers w a usb dongle.

now would usb still exist in 2038? undoubtedly. but we all know that cyberlife would come up with some bullshit proprietary wire for interfacing with their tech.

about ur uncanny valley post, are there moments where meiko and kaito kinda forget theyre robots sometimes?

Probably! Especially as the CVs grow more and more "humanlike" as their adventures continue. I think that they'd be less prone to it than say, Miku's classmates, though, given that as their overseers they get a lot more reminders that the kids are androids.

I hate everything this signifies, but i take small (very small) comfort in the fact that they're just applying it to the Google Messages architecture.

Very small comfort, because i know it won't be long before they try to impose it on every element of the android ecosystem.

I guess the one advantage of having dated my ex is that I know about APKs (and therefore have evaded the horrible discord update)

"no brand is actually good--" true. "--or better." now hold on a minute.
