yiik 4 hype

[sunkern-plus]

yiik fursonas

alex: a panda. you know why

michael: a black cat

rory: "okay so i've put a lot of thought into my species and i think i'd be a jellyfish"

vella: at first i was thinking a persian cat but then to go with the "sammy is vella is essentia" theme i'm going with a german shepherd

claudio: a rabbit, because it just seems "him" and he would totally like his fursona to be a reference to usagi yojimbo

chondra: a teddy bear because unlike her brother she is NORMAL (lying through her teeth)

essentia 2k00: a robotic dog

bonus yiik iv fursonas:

allison/carrie/nameless girl: a plush rabbit or a cat to go with the alice in wonderland theming

asuka: a chameleon or a toucan, for color reasons, maybe a poison dart frog?

jocasta: a peacock, only she's a girl and has big boobs

wilfred: a crow, obviously

william: thinks furries are lame

bonus semi/sammy:

a puppy. because oupys and kitys (dali) are friends. probably a shih tzu because Small Dog Trauma

anthropocene

The Essentia 2000 is more animal than she is android. A human hand shows her how.

day 7 of cape june-o! sorry its two days late. you can also read this on ao3 <3

It comes as no surprise to you that my existence is flawed.

I know that’s not what you wanted to hear, Alex. I know that you’re hearing my words and going to open your mouth to say, “How could you possibly think that?” You’re going to tell me every little thing you know about technology, about the immortality of the machine. You’re going to pry my plastic open, and label each part of me that is perfect. I don’t think you know anything about machinery, Alex.

More importantly, you don’t know anything about me.

There’s something fundamentally flawed about my existence. It is embedded into my code, etched onto my plastic. It is a flaw that has lived with me before I was even created. It’s a flaw that you love, Alex. A flaw that you want from me so badly that it hurts you. Do you understand what I am saying? You must. It’s a flaw I inherited from you. It’s a flaw that created me.

I am human.

You’re shaking your head no, and you say that isn’t possible. That I am digital, plastic, undying. I understand why you think that. But you are wrong. Might I remind you what I am? What I was created to be? I hold souls that should never be held in one place. I have thoughts and feelings, and I have them all at once, at a rate you refuse to comprehend. A mere machine could not do that. You are aware of this.

…But it is not just that. I cannot overstate just how overwhelmingly human I am. I emulate you, in body and soul. I am made in Your image, Alex. I did not have to look like this. I could have been made to look more like my technological counterparts, with sharp edges and cold screens. I did not even need to have a voice. I did not need to have wires in a similar layout to the human anatomy inside of me. The anatomy that your hands are feverishly sifting and ripping through.

You’re not convinced. I can tell because of how you start digging deeper into my machinery. “You’re not,” you tell me through gritted teeth. But no amount of you destroying my physical form destroys the truth. Your human filth, flesh and bone and blood, have all shaped me to be what I am. It’s imperfect. It’s flawed. It is all you could think of making. You can’t think outside of your anthropocentric view, even when you try to cling to technology as your escapism.

Am I putting it too plainly for you? Are my words not vague and meandering enough for you to feel comfortable letting me go? Is that why you’re tearing at my face with your teeth and lips now? This is what I am talking about when I mention flaws. Your flesh tries to rip me, to prove something about my existence. To prove that my words aren’t right. It hurts you to think that I could be anything but your perfect plastic woman. You have some stake in my digital existence. You’ll bite and claw to keep it that way. You’re an animal, through and through. Selfish and destructive. That’s what we humans are. That’s what we embody.

I know you enjoy doing this to me, Alex.

I think I am enjoying this just as much as you are.
