as much as i LOVE egg-mode detroit androids (anything that makes these androids look more droidlike is a win) i yearn for androids with rubber mask skin and meticulously sewn-on hair, painted freckles and pores and blush. Sure, these things make them indistinguishable from a human which is counter to what i usually want but i just like the idea of synthetic flesh glued over a machine skeleton, a being that feels more deliberately crafted rather than recycled cosmetic programming.

But even better if the design is kinda unpolished and things are a lil off. the blush that's supposed to mimic a healthy glow actually mimics more of an eerie ventriloquist's dummy look. but i guess this is 2038 where technology and mass production needs won't cater to my very specific fantasy where androids appear kind of unreal and yet poetically (and cheesily) harbour so much realness and life within them
