Finally playing Library of Ruina and I'm really fascinated by the way nearly every single character immediately clocks Angela as being a robot. I wonder how robotic she looks? 🤔

Wild Robot LMK au

The Wild Robot but Lego Monkie kid.

The Wild Robot but Wukong is this giant stone golem created by Nuwa meant to be a heavenly guard or a weapon for the heavens.

The Wild Robot but stone Wukong before awakening falls to earth onto Flower fruit mountain and his main function is to protect. He spends his first waking hours trying to protect animals who find him weird, call him a monster, say he's keeping them captive and ripping him apart as he is prone to attack anything he perceives as a threat while trying to find something to protect.

The Wild Robot but in trying to climb a tree, Wukong unknowingly breaks a branch a monkey mother and her cubs were sleeping on, killing all but the runt of the family whom Wukong saves and is about to leave alone until the cub wakes up, calling the simian his father and imprinting on him.

The Wild Robot but Wukong finds a newfound purpose to protect this runt. But soon winter will come and the monkeys will need to climb to the highest peaks of the mountain to stay warm while the rest stay on the ground and now he needs to find a way to teach this cub to climb.

The Wild Robot but Wukong finds Macaque, a solitude loner who wants nothing to do with the odd duo until he finds he can exchange his intellect for protection from everything trying to kill him on the island.

The Wild Robot but slowly, it seems that the odd trio form a bond and the cub grows from a runt to a young adolescent who's an oddball from the rest but is compassionate and cares for his strange fathers nonetheless. Wukong at first finds the cub delicate, almost impossible to take care off but slowly adapts and finds little rewards in that.

The Wild Robot but Wukong at first gives the child a long lengthy title filled with grand promises of power and strength that he's known from protocol in how the celestials were named but comes to call the boy Xiaotian given that he fell from the sky.

The Wild Robot but every animal on the mountain looks down in disdain at the weird family except for a couple while Macaque fiercely doubles down to defend his family's friends' honor as the stone golem looks in confusion and disappointment.

The Wild Robot but as time passes the golem's body wears down, rough jagged edges meant to strike fear smooth down and are covered in wear, tear and moss while their home grows with even more mini paintings illustrating Xiaotian's growth.

The Wild Robot but the boy is no longer a boy and learns the truth of his family. He grows distant from his parents Wukong but the golem persists to help his son the cub regardless of his comparatively small size and weak arms to prepare him for the big climb.

The Wild Robot but during winter after Xiaotian and the rest of the monkeys leave, Macaque stays with Wukong and they gather the rest of the animals on the base of the mountain into their den to hibernate until spring. There they hold a truce and sleep in peace.

The Wild Robot but Xiaotian grows into his own, becoming the leader of the monkeys having a new perspective and other advantages the other simians don't have and comes down in spring to apologize to Wukong. That he realizes that by killing the rest of Xiaotian's birth family, he most likely saved him from being killed for being the runt.

The Wild Robot but heaven come back to retrieve their weapon but the animals defend their friendly giant and work together to prevent the destruction caused by the celestials from spreading.

The Wild Robot but Wukong gets captured anyway to study for how he'd changed protocol but Xiaotian learns from his dad the simian and climbs the clouds to infiltrate heaven to rescue him.

The Wild Robot but Xiaotian finds Wukong almost dead but after confessing how he misses his father, Wukong recognizes his son's voice and comes back. Together, the two leap from the heavens with Wukong holding his boy close to his chest, tucking him in like when he was small enough to fit in the golem's hand and shielding him from the impact and landing back on Flower fruit mountain to reunite with Macaque and complete their family.

(Can you tell I watched the Wild Robot recently?)

(also damn, I just basically made Monkey king reborn)

@furornocturna @furornocturna pssstttt I made another impromptu thingy. probably won't turn into anything though

Anatomy's full ref! she has more outfits on her toyhouse (18+) Anatomy used to be a more "human looking" robot with artificial hair and skin that covered her robotic parts, but she hated it. It was physically uncomfortable for her and hurt her, it wasn't attached to her proper systems so she couldn't feel touch from her artificial skin. So she quite literally ripped her skin off. While she was free from the skin that had covered her and she felt free to experience the world fully, she still felt the burden of expectation from humans. She covered herself up with layers of clothes and hoodies and masks to cover herself up in public and spoke as little as possible due to her robot voice. She wanted to pass as a human the best she could. After meeting the right people (and robots) she had an epiphany, she was free from the skin that had burdened her for so long, but still practically wore it by covering herself in layers of clothing and hiding herself away when she didn't want to, just felt like she had to. After opening herself up more and building the courage she now refuses to wear clothing that she feels like is restricting. She almost always wears outfits that exposes her visible organs in her torso now, a part of her she was initially most insecure about. While she's still shy socially, she has no patience for people who may be disturbed by her appearance or what she wears. And she finds herself only liking a very small amount of people.

Hold on I just realized that I can make a meme for one of my fanfics

Made a Hypothetical Endoskeleton for Larry after not drawing mechanical parts for so long. The best I could manage since this was all sketched out very late last night

[the-punforgiven]

Do y'all ever get nightmares that just like, aren't scary?

Like you can tell your brain is trying to make this scary, but you just feel nothing?

Ms. Casey doesn't act like Gemma.

Is it really any surprise that Mark S never developed a love interest in her? This sounds harsh, but I doubt Mark Scout would, had she been his only impression.

Honestly, I'd like to know how Ms. Casey out of all of Gemma's innies arguably feels the least like she stems from the same person. I have to assume it's related to the training she went through as a wellness counselor, but it's strange how Ms. Casey's mannerisms and speech come across as uncanny- regardless of if she's following a script.

The robot lover to bug lover pipeline is so real

where is tramell tillman’s emmy for managing to portray every emotion known to man while never moving his face from this pleasant smile with absolute scorn behind the eyes
