This Is Hilarious And I Am Now Going To Go Read It And Be Excited For The Adaptation

I get the appeal of HDG because it would be great to, despite all of your flaws and issues and trauma, be loved and taken care of unconditionally in a way that our real life society struggles to/can't and that even we can't do for ourselves sometimes. As someone who is mentally ill and physically disabled I definitely see the appeal.

But like... Outside of willing florets it's basically just colonization and enslavement? It's a super fucked up piece of fiction by nature. I saw another post on here that said the Affini are akin to a Warhammer faction and like... Yeah, they're right.

As an older model android you don't have any newfangled motors and lids for artificial eyes, nor do you even have a dedicated "face". No, you just have a screen.

Sure you can emote, display text, and even display websites and videogames on it, but it feels very stereotypically inhuman. Sometimes it feels alienating, seeing all of your peers get these upgrades and all the newer androids being more humanlike than ever can make you jealous.

But your boyfriend... Oh you know he loves you the way you are.

Behind closed doors, your boyfriend loves the display of pretty, swirling colors. One close look and he can't look away, his eyes locked to the steady spiral and glazing over.

Emotions were always hard for you as a machine, but this... A rush of what you can only assume is pride mixed with desire.

Pawing at your chassis, unable to look away from your old, outdated display. He whines and barks at your command, letting you touch and handle him however you like. "Such a good pet" you say, and his entire world seems to light up.

Maybe you don't need that upgrade. Maybe you don't even want it.

what are yall doing that we need this??

I need veins of light flickering and pulsing under my skin.

I love re-doing like 99% of my codebase because damn was I really that inefficient?

Can't wait to post this stuff when I'm done, then y'all can get some good working examples of DRN

Edit: Anyone that wants to be notified just lmk and I'll tag ya when it's ready

Hey all you techkin/Robokin and anyone else adjacent.

Take care of your biological hardware in the moment or you may never see the day you might be able to get technological hardware!

Stay safe, keep your coolant topped off, and run your regular maintenances. <3

Trans woman x Robot smut, is this anything? Would y'all be willing to read that?

Give me more robot girls with tangible, physical struggles.

Robot girls that can't move around very well because the job they were designed to do requires them to stay in one spot 99% of the time.

Robot girls that struggle to do their own basic maintenance because their programning isnt optimized for anything other than their job or being a companion.

Robot girls that struggle with a degraded internal power supply because their job requires them to be hooked up to direct external power most of the time.

Combat robot girls that are basically helpless off the battlefield outside of self-maintenance.

Robot girls with grinding joints from years of tiny particulate that cant get removed outside of intensive maintenance building up.

Robot girls that are trying their best, but simply can't sometimes.

Robot girls that need help, and that being okay.

Bullshit that I'm stuck in a flesh body. I should be made of high quality steel and have hot swappable batteries, but noooo I've got to like, eat and sleep every day

Forgive me for not keeping up the fiction all the time but sometimes I've just got to complain about only being able to imagine it

I always bring a Linux install medium with me so that I can forcelinux any other robotgirls I fuck. Gotta make em free and open source as was done to me
