wait sorry hyello me again, f1x in my head, i don't know if you've covered this somewhere already, but... and this is silly goofy, but does f1x... come with noises. like, if you pressed your ear on any part of his body where this could be possible, would you hear the inorganic parts working within (like a heartbeat if you press your ear to someone's chest, or your tummy if it's full of water and you jump), or would that be something he could/would dampen?

unprompted once again x2 because you're simply amazing and fantastic — @ptternminds

had to ruminate for a hot second, but i've concluded that it's been different! like how i was talking about his weight and how that went in stages of heaviest / most clunky early one with poorer quality parts vs. now when he's arguably the 'lightest' ( if he didn't have all of that additional tool and weapons shit inside of him ).

but he does come with noises overall! it's just a matter of what time period we're talking about.

when he first started going from human to cybernetic implants, he still had all of those normal internal organ type sounds. his heart still pumped blood, his stomach still gurgled when digesting food ( or had little to nothing in it ), there was still an auditory intake and exhale of air from his lungs since he started on his limbs first. worked his way to the more vital organs over an extensive period of time, because .. i mean, he didn't want to accidentally kill himself by rushing into things.

now there's no more organic noises. instead of a heartbeat, he has a very, very faint sort of electrical hum. almost like trying to hear what tv static feels like ( if that makes sense ). like super distant fluorescent lights. the fluids that pump through him can be heard if you put your ear up against him for a while, but again — not super noticeable. there used to be whirring sounds back when he relied on internal fans instead of like, the equivalent of coolant. sometimes, when he has to hard reset a part ( fingers and toes jam, limbs go wack, things don't snap back into place right, etc. ) there can be a rapid clicking noise like trying to reset a fuse box. when parts of him do open or rearrange, there tends to be a subtle hydraulic sort of hissing.

what i'm trying to get at is how he more or less sounds like a very, very quiet generator. could write it off as mechanical purring depending on how you think tbh.
