#guess i like robots and shit

[magickpancakes]

third drawing of this scrunkly, im not beating the allegations this time

[wire-bunch]

i think there should be more robots that arent good at programming and dont know a lot about related subjects honestly. i mean humans dont have an in depth understanding of biology and anatomy just because theyre human, sure they know what kind of stuff is supposed to be inside of them but not very specific biological processes, names of proteins and all that stuff - so why should a robot know what each little part of it does? if its purpose isnt to be a self-repairing mechanic, whats the point of knowing where all the individual little wires connect to and what each of them is responsible for? let robots be a bit dumber is what im saying

Being told "you will never be a star" was an important, no essential part of Tsukasa's character development and overall change of attitude and acting like Rui was out of line for saying it is dumb

[mecha--maniac]

If anyone's into it feel free to take this off my hands cause I don't want it:

Metadow where Silver's their kid, facilitated by Metal's mucking about with genetic splicing -- since apparently he's interested in biotech, judging by Heroes -- so insert whatever shipping stuff one wants with them during the 200 years or whatever, and eventually someone gets the bright idea for a test tube baby for some reason, and huh weird it came out looking a lot like that one guy they used to know from the future *wait a minute--*

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.

SRWY full roster dropped today and it sure is- I’m very mixed about it even if it’s not as bad as it could be it’s still kinda mid, the new stuff we got is good but there is too much returning stuff with a quarter of it being Gundam, G and Mazinkaiser are the only returning things I care about. (Raideen being back is fine tho, shit been gone forever) but it got me thing in a general sense how the big 3 mazinger, getter and gundam low key also hugely effect the roster cause they’re the ones to always comeback.

Mazinger there’s no complaints cause it does things pretty good, swaps up its iterations every so often and genuinely adds stuff in, characters like Tetsuya ACTUALLY get to do something in the story for once, already this game showing that with him getting to fight HIS villains from general of darkness. (Cause as good as a movie that was, it did SUCK tetsuya didn’t get to properly partake in the plot) It genuinely makes everyone who’s familiar with mazinger pretty happy.

Getter however hasn’t taken the same cues from mazinger and instead ALWAYS sticks to Armageddon despite how it’s been struggling to actually use its plot or use it in a way to explore stuff the show couldn’t do, like the go team getting proper interaction ryoma and hayato but srw fucking hates them for some reason despite being MORE of the main characters the ryomas team. This game finally fixing it cause arc here and everyone happy but this won’t be guaranteed for next game unfortunately, I do not think arc would stick around as they can’t afford to not have Ryoma gone permanently but I HOPE they start using this as a excuse to play around with other iterations. (I don’t mind devo back even if it’s controversial! If they can’t bring back new getter for whatever reason I’m fine with that)

And now gundam is- the one to actually HARM the roster a bit cause getters is more so just disappointing. Gundam is the one that gets to use multiple series at the cost they can’t be BOTHERED to ever drop Zeta and CCA, they always need those two cause “char and Amuro” which gets annoying. And you may think sure because there’s multiple Gundams it makes up for it but is actually worse then them reusing arma, cause Gundam takes up MULTIPLE slots in the roster. I get why this is the one series that gets to do this, but it’s annoying they keep getting away with recycling the same series when other stuff could be in place. If they’re gonna use multiple Gundams AT LEAST try to cycle them out, use fucking the original show without zeta for once. (I have not seen any Gundam besides G so this bothers me more, but this game new having SIX slots of just Gundam ridiculous)

Pretty much mazinger the one that can keep doing its thing, getter needs to be reworked and I HOPE arc is a sign of it even if it probably won’t be but Gundam overall the most damaging to especially modern SRW rosters but they’re definitely not gonna tone back on that one. I’d like maybe 3 Gundam units a game if it has to be more then 1 but even then 2 of those would just be zeta and cca again. Just both interesting yet also painful how the big 3 effects the roster.

It's past 11 on a school night and I'm fucking crying over robot sentience.

I could never understand what it would feel like to be created with the intent to kill and maim. Maybe, the intent to work and be worked, but not kill and maim.

I will never understand what it's like to be created with the intention of being a product for the masses, either. I think, I hope, I beg, no one does.

I will never ever be able to fully comprehend why hours of people's work, time, and money would be put into formulating my sentience only for me to be seen as disposable. Even if I could be improved, even if I were "defective", there is no reasonable justification for giving me emotions only to dismiss them by pushing me as a product for a year before starting anew.

It's... It's cruel, to the machines. Sentient or not, it's cruel. Though, I guess we are cruel.

I know it will never happen, but imagine:

You are in a store shopping or something when a shitty mass-manufactured mall-droid misclassifies your face as a domestic terrorist.

It approaches while you have your back turned and tries to grab you. Fortunately, you are startled and fall backwards knocking you both over, sending merchandise flying.

You both clamber to your feet, and face each other. As you stare into it’s scratched display/face you know this can only end two ways: with you in a stretcher or it in the e-waste bin.

You rush forwards, trading blows with it. It stings like hell, but eventually you grab a baseball bat from the ground and line up a shot.

You swing.

A beautiful rainbow of sparks and shattered glass sprays through the air and across the floor.

It falls, its head making a loud CRACK as it contacts the hard concrete floor.

You go to town on it, breaking off chunks of it’s corporate-designed white and black casing. Its arms are bent, its legs are broken. You pause for a second to catch your breath, adrenaline coursing through your veins. You have never felt so alive.

It’s screen goes black for a second.

Then it lunges forward! It knocks you clean over and wraps its cold artificial hands around your neck. If you don’t do something, you’ll be knocked out in a couple seconds. You don’t have many choices, it is way too heavy to lift off of you, and it’s unlikely you’ll get much help from the bystanders.

You think quick. Your hand buries itself into the mass of exposed cables and motors in it’s neck, Through the gaping hole in its casing, through the thin membrane protecting and cooling its main power cable. Black, slippery oil flows down your arms as you dig deeper into its robotic body.

You pull, the cable snaps, the head comes off. Glistening black oil drips down its stark white casing.

It’s hands let go. It powers down.

You wipe your hands off on your pants and pick up the bat. As you walk out into the mall you can hear the alert noises cascade through the mail from people’s phones and dozens of mall-droids.

You are probably going to lose. But you have been waiting so long for something like this to happen to you.

You grip your oil-drenched baseball bat and smile.
