In a world where being a robot is illegal. And people are racist towards robots. The robots are trying to have a heavyhanded civil rights movement. There's robot super crack that gives robots super powers. All robot racism comes from Senator Racism, who is running for president.

Our protagonists, model minority robot, and nice cop, must work together to ensure that Senator Racism is not elected. And guess what? They are lesbians.

i don’t think people realize how well neil’s demisexuality is written. you can see his emotional connection to andrew change and grow as he learns andrew’s motivations and boundaires long before you can see his attraction to andrew appear.

i think the best example is how neil describes andrew in tkm. he never really thinks about it in detail at all and then all of a sudden “andrew looked as he always had, and neil knew his face as well as he knew every iteration of his own. despite that, something seemed different. maybe it was the sunlight streaming through the window, making andrew’s pale hair shine brighter and his hazel eyes seem almost gold. whatever it was, it was disorienting.”

demisexuality sometimes feels like a switch gets flipped out of nowhere. and andrew flipped neil’s switch because neil trusted him. trust and safety and boundary respect was literally the turn on.

I‘ve been thinking a lot about how perfect it is that Riko is King and Kevin is Queen (the King in chess being the center off attention but he’s actually not that powerful by himself, and the Queen being the deadliest piece on the board).

And it just hit me how Kevin is actually like a pawn that made it to the other side of the board and became a Queen. He left his king behind and ran away and it’s a dangerous path but he fights through it, survives, makes it all the way to the other side and in the end he is Queen, he is fast, he is powerful, he is on top, and the King is nothing without him.

And when the King has lost all his men, when there is no one left to shield him, he is defeated. Checkmate. And the Queen has survived.
