🎁 a gift! Unwrapping it reveals a small music box, turning the handle, it plays Happy Birthday.

[RESTORING DATA, PLEASE WAIT...] [DATA RECOVERY SUCCESSFUL] [LOADING Recording-11-28-07-10]

The gentle hum of electricity, a harsh hiss of steam, and the ticking of clockwork resound through the tent as WX-78's systems come to life once more.

System temperature is below average. It's late autumn, and the chill of the winter season has begun to seep in. Their metal shell absorbs the temperature to a harsh degree, but they can handle the cold better than organic creatures. This is no issue.

System integrity is ideal. Charge is full. Fuel systems are running low; they require food.

They pull themself off of the ground, turning their head briefly to look at J1-M1 and Hal. Both are exactly as they were when they powered off, still in sleep mode. They decide to allow them some more rest while they prepare fuel.

While the inside of their tent is completely unaltered compared to how it was approximately 2.5 hours ago, the same cannot be said for outside; considering that when they raise a leg to move towards the crockpots, their boot collides with something, the force of it kicking it a short distance away from them.

WX-78 is certain that the object is just an item that one of those dim-witted fleshlings left strewn about carelessly, but turning their head to look down at it and seeing a wrapped box quickly disproves this theory. They blink, staring down at it blankly for a moment, before leaning over and lifting it up.

It was left in front of their tent, so obviously it's intended for them. If it's not, then they've claimed ownership over it. (This time of year is their buildday, after all. Typical procedures indicate they can do whatever they want.) Plus, "Finder's keepers" is an indisputable point of logic. Knowing this, they dig their fingers into the paper and tear it apart with ease.

A lowly machine intended for mindless entertainment.

The melody from the mechanical box hidden inside is unfamiliar, but the "music" is of little note to them. The thing that does strike them is the sound of the lever cranking as they turn it, the sound and feeling of the mechanisms within clicking together and resonating inside. It satisfies them, temporarily distracting them from their objective as they close their eyelids and feel, as if they and this small musical slave were one.

It comes to an end. Their optics shutter back open.

An interesting offering, though ultimately meaningless. Still, J1-M1 might want to scan it, and they may be able to take it apart at a later date. They slip it into their tent before finally proceeding with their morning tasks.

HAPPY BUILDDAY WX-78!

[kesia-stupid-arts]

please share your woodrow / wx headcanons im so curious. I also widely disagree with most of what the fandom has to say about them

Ahh, sorry for taking so long to respond to this! WX-78's buildday was tomorrow, maybe this is the best time to respond to this! LOL

I've thought about this, and I've realized this is not exactly a headcannon... just an analysis and theory of their canon, but everyone can have a different interpretation anyways.

You see, I usually see how people write WX as someone who still has the memories of their time as a human, but if you analyze it well, they don't.

If you take a good look at their dialogues, you will notice that they are ignorant about some things that humans commonly should know about, for example, WX does not know what a cat is, they don't know about christmas traditions, and a lot of other dialogues that make it seem like they know nothing about human's world.

But the best evidence is in their animated short, when Winona re-connects the Empathy Module, their memories as "Woodrow" flow back (they immediatly remove it because they don't like it). In my opinion, the Empathy Module isn't exactly a component that gives WX-78 emotions or empathy, but it's a module where Woodrow's memories were stored, and by removing it, they lose all their memories as a human.

However, WX-78 might not forget EVERYTHING, there's some dialogues that they imply they still remember a few things:

Probably there were a few memories so deeply stuck into WX's mind that it survived the removal of the Empathy Module.

Btw, a little theory I'd like to share: In my opinion, WX-78 and Wagstaff knew about the Moon even BEFORE entering the Constant. The way WX speaks about the Moon makes it seem that's was always a goal they've been pursuing for a long time, which makes me think that Wagstaff found out about Alter's power at the time Woodrow or WX were working with him, and by consequence, WX also knew about it. This might also be a memory stuck with WX that survived the disconnection of the Empathy Module: Their goal to get the Moon's power.

But anyway, that's just my interpretation and theories about their character, no one is wrong for having their own theories or hcs!
