while on the topic of iron posting. a very small very insignificant thing that i really enjoy is that nobody really harasses it for not speaking. and like. we don't know precisely why it doesn't speak. it could be because it's mute, it could be due to an unseen injury, it could just be a selective choice, it could be that it never bothered to learn human language to begin with, etc etc. but there's never been a scene (at least as far as i can recall) where mr iron is specifically called out or pressured or anything of the sort. not even by its own haters 4 haters coworkers. and yeah this is realistically probably because its an ESPECIALLY deadly space bat that could kill you six ways from sunday if you pissed it off, but also, y'know, sometimes it's really nice just having a mute character that's treated Normally for once

#mr iron doesnt talk and that's just. A Fact Nobody Questions. it's just what it does.#nobody's like ugh stop using that stupid blackboard. they're just reading and responding bc that's just its method of conversation #and again! we don't actually know why it does that! for all we know its always been mute. or it chose that for a very specific reason #but. yknow. idk. in an incredibly weird halfway backwards sorta way. it's just really nice to have it treated as nbd #idk maybe this post is incoherent and im just going insane bc today is. A Trainwreck lmao #yin-thoughts #fallen london #a lot of nonspeaking characters (and real life people) usually get overlooked or dehumanized on some level #bc they (supposedly) cant communicate for themselves (at least on a level people understand)#idk. it's like. suddenly if u cant verbally express urself ur just not on the same level as people #i like that iron is different. i like how nobody really complains or draws that much attention to it.#and yes. this is almost definitely just because it's a giant evil space bat in a position of Significant Power #that can and Will kill you in an instant #but. it's still nice nonetheless.
