what it's like living in a tropical country in september

thing is, everyone is so excited for the september mood and autumn and getting closer to halloween and leafs and the vibes, but i live in a tropical country in the southern hemisphere. it's 33 fucking celsius degrees (no idea how much that is in farenheit) and it's dry but somehow also umid and i really need it to rain but it doesn't and when it does it goes away too quickly and it's so fucking hot and the ipês aren't blooming anymore and meanwhile everyone on my fyp is like "oh wow autumn vibes!" and i'm here dying of heat, with no air conditioner in my room

Update: it actually rained!! And I saw some ipês too so I guess there are a few left. It's still hot as fuck I'm dying but ipês make everything better

android!Robin has several technical problems, the most important ones having to do with her memory card, battery and motor skills.

Androids are supposed to have perfect photographic memory, but Robin's memory is poor even by human standards. She tends to forget where she left her keys, what she was going to do when walking into a room, etc. She forgets her schedule all the time, as well as Nancy's, and can't remember a recipe to save her life. Dustin and Suzie say it's a problem with the connections needed to access her memory card, rather than with the memory card itself. It's fixeable, but extremely difficult and expensive. Robin wants to get this fixed and she's working hard to pay for it - she doesn't want to be an inconvenience. Nancy will support her decision, but she really isn't bothered by Robin's poor memory. She just hopes she's doing it for herself and not to make herself "easier to handle" for other people (she's been told that's what her worth was based on her entire life).

She's only had one memory card her entire life (as far as she knows). Nancy's greatest fear is Robin hitting her head and it breaking. One could potentially take out the memory card and delete it or install a new one - that is Robin's greatest fear.

At one point, her connections get so bad there will be days in which she can't remember Nancy at all, or what her own name is. She'll act almost like a normal android those days - following orders, not speaking unless necessary, not expressing emotion unless instructed to, etc, though her poor motor skills, battery problems and bad memory will make it difficult. It freaks Nancy out every time, and she always tries to get her to snap out of it as if she were human, before accepting that love can't solve this problem, and calling Dustin and Suzie to fix it. She'll pay any price if it means having her Robin back.

Robin lets herself be turned off without complaint, without even the terrified shudder Nancy used to feel when she forcibly did it during their first weeks together. Robin's docile obedience as she let Nancy do this to her, and the way her body went limp in Nancy's arms, never failed to bring Nancy to tears.

It would take days for Dustin and Suzie to fix some of Robin's problems. This one took between one and two weeks. Longest it ever got was 16 days. During that time, Robin would lay lifeless on their workshop's table, her battery sitting somewhere else to prevent her from turning on automatically. Dustin insisted that he and his lady (as he called Suzie) worked best when their kingdom (their workshop) was untouched by foreign hands, so Nancy wasn't always welcome to visit Robin in that state. Nancy was relentless, though, and she usually managed to convince him to let her in for a few minutes. He thinks it's pointless - it's not like Robin can feel her there. She can't even dream. It doesn't change anything. In fact, he worries Nancy will be more disturbed than comforted, because Robin's entire skull, neck and spine will be exposed - only it's not bones and flesh inside, but metal and plastic circuits, plates, chips, wires and pistons. He's careful to at least put her face back in place when Nancy visits. He expects her to be taken aback by the sight, but instead, Nancy's eyes are full of so much worry and care and adoration as she observes Robin's lifeless body. She doesn't dare touch her - she doesn't want to hurt her. But she misses her so deeply.

When it's all finished, Nancy takes her back home with the utmost care and tucks her into bed. She waits by her side until she turns back on, and softly talks to her, asks her how she's feeling, brings her some water and asks her questions, to see if she's back to normal. Because it's all recorded in her memory card, Robin can remember everything - can remember the time she spent not knowing who she is, thought she can't remember if she was self-aware during those episodes. Whenever she wakes up, she's just happy to see Nancy, and wants hugs and cuddles from her, but she begins to cry out of fear as she tries to remember the details of not being. Nancy holds her every time, asks her if she wants to watch cartoons or if she wants her to read a book for her, to keep her from spiraling. She hates seeing Robin look so small and scared, but she also knows she's not scared of anything Nancy can protect her from. The horrors haunting her come from her own mind and her own nature.

(Dustin and Suzie make a copy of Robin's memory card and give it to her, just in case).

Dustin and Suzie take care of any fixes Robin needs. They're much nicer than any other technician at the previous repair shops she's been to. The most usual fixes have to do with weakness and stiffness in her knees and hips, especially on her right leg (it got broken pretty badly during a beating by her last owner - Billy Hargrove. He wanted to make her unable to walk. The person his father sold her to next did a poor job fixing her). These fixes are usually quite simple and take very little time. She will refuse to see them, though, until she reaches her breaking point when she struggles to stand up, or when she suddenly falls to the ground. It always worries Nancy to death - she's terrified of Robin hitting herself and suffering even more damage. It always takes some convincing for Nancy to get her in her car and on their way to Dustin's workshop. Sometimes, the fix will be so simple they don't even need to turn her off. Nancy holds her hand during these.

The third big problem is her battery. Thankfully, her battery is detachable and easily replaceable. They only had a mayor issue with it once, and they had to order a new one. Robin's model is rare enough that it took over a week to get there. During that time, they installed solar pannels in the balcony and Robin had to be connected to them with long, thick cables that stretched all around the apartment. It was more amusing than anything else, having to step around the cables and make sure none of them got accidentally disconnected. Cloudy days made her pretty much useless and had her lying in bed watching cartoons all day. She was completely turned off after sunset and she was up by sunrise. Needless to say, she couldn't leave the apartment for the week and had to call in sick to work.

Good thing was, though, that the new battery worked much better than the previous one. It lasted much longer. Nancy had only seen her this excited a few other times. The way she kicked her bedroom door down with a wide smile on her face as she yelled at her to come to the kitchen just made Nancy smile with adoration. Robin showed her the box in her hands - she was shaking with excitement - and asked Nancy to help her install it. She turned herself off and Nancy did the rest - disconnected cables, take out old battery, install new one. When she turned Robin back on, she was more full of life and energy than she'd ever seen her be. Free from her cables, she immediately grabbed Nancy's hands and dragged her outside - the sun was shining and she wanted to run around in the park, to roll on the grass and count the cloud and photosynthesize with a good book in her hand. To Nancy, she looked like a puppy, or a happy little bird just released from its cage. She could never say no to her, they would spend the entire day outside if Robin wanted to.

“I will try to understand why Heaven is a non-smoking area.” — “I will try to understand why Hell is a no-smoking area.”

so… have I watched the second season of good omens yet? no.

have I reread the book, so that I can have a proper conversation with a beloved mutual (who’s planning to read it), if she wants? YES.

have I fallen head over heels in love with the book again in the process of rereading? … yeeeeaaaah …

the appearances of the lads are obviously not the show’s ones, though I’m sure some things are similar — those half a dozen (at least) rewatches of s1 were bound to leave some traces in my brain)) but i really wanted to take those hints from the book and combine them with what I remember imagining when I was first reading the book (like, a few years before the show was announced). and I did sorta do that, which was super fun, cause even then I wanted so desperately to draw everyone from this book how I saw them, but the skill… well, it’s a bit better now, so yeeessss, here you go, baby me, one little wish fulfilled!! but also the designs got away from me a bit, I just started to have fun with them. it isn’t so visible in this piece, but already quite clear in some of my sketches))

and if anyone maybe doesn’t recognize the quote!! look up crowley and aziraphale’s new year’s resolutions, they are out there on the internet!))

Before you open your stupid Danish mouth to bother us with opinions about public transportation in America, please recall that your NATO parasite client-state country has fewer people than Phoenix. And that Phoenix has average temperatures that have Northern European countries declaring emergencies, 30° Celsius and up, from April to September, fully half the year. (And October is 28°.)

Arizona has one of the highest rates of vitamin D deficiency in the developed world, because, at least below the Mogollon Rim, it isn’t tolerable to be outside in daylight for half the year. Shut the fuck up about public transportation.

The American is getting taken out of me. I've had to switch my weather app to Celsius because i couldn't remember what the freezing temp was for Fahrenheit (it's 32 btw and i hate that) but i remembered freezing temp for Celsius is 0 so I switched to Celsius just so i could easily tell if it was below freezing or not (It is.)

Not interested in soulmates but very interested in when as if by fate two people are one another's inevitable doom, the death of a worldview, the end of all certainty about what makes up their self. Literal death of one or both optional. That's high romance babyyyyyy

[imwritesometimes]

idk why I can't sleep these last couple weeks

also, people usually take "I don't make house calls" at face value and use it to characterize McCoy as grumpy and whatnot, but like that scene is about McCoy not wanting to go to a Romulan ship...
