#moms friendly robot company

[3lix13]

Happy Holidays and best wishes to all! Here's hoping the protection payments are on time and the paradox absorbing crumple zones are up to code in the coming new year....!  (tried out the new update from TVPaint Développement for the ink & paint on this after a long stint doing vector art in Toon Boom Harmony)

Thank you to all the wonderful corporations supporting Pride Month!

Remember: evil doesn’t discriminate

new revival wishlist item is, if we get more mom backstory, i wanna see her as a child. i want her to be old money, like “her parents own a space emerald mine” money, still totally unsympathetic from birth, acting like veruca salt except with twenty times as much swearing. maybe she inherited the “mom” label or maybe, somehow, she was called “mom” as a child. maybe they called her “daughter.” she lashes out at her parents like she lashes out at her sons now. i want her to reprogram all the robot merch to backfire horribly cuz she’s mad she didn’t get a candy bar. that sort of shit.

Since Futurama is coming back I just want to pay tribute to the greatest ‘disrupter’ of all. Mom from moms friendly robot co. She didn’t just create a company. She changed how a company operates and makes money.

Remember that robots are not bought and sold, they are free beings able to choose where and when they work. Which means that no sane person would purchase one these robots. So if no one buying robots from mom co, how is she making so much money?

My theory is simple, mom creates the robots and sends them off to get jobs and once they earn money they use that money to buy alcohol and accommodation but on top that they use that money for maintenance, upgrades and other robotic physical needs. We know that the robots are built with a reverence for mom. Which means that no robot would dare buy any oils, mechanical parts or maintenance service from a company that isn’t owned by mom co. So mom is raking in a large percentage of the robots income since no one can actually compete with her.

She essentially had products that no one wanted and decided to create a customers that needed her products

☥ Bunny meat (William Afton x fem!reader x Michael Afton)

Summary: He was a likeable middle-aged man who had wonderful children, his dream job and a beautiful wife. He never blamed himself for his own actions, or to be more exact, he never thought about their consequences.

Chapter 5

Chapter 4. Date

Michael froze. Elizabeth rushed towards her father. He looked at her sternly, nodding. Girl obediently got into the car. She knew that if her father talked in that tone and looked at her with that look, then she just had to keep quiet and do what he wanted.

“Dad, i—”

“Get in the car, now.”

Mike quickly went to the car, not even looking at you. You were at a loss what to do. The situation is terribly awkward. You haven’t even thought that Michael lied to his father for the sake of hanging out with you.

“Honey, get in the car, it's cold outside. I'll give you a ride home.” Afton’s face immediately changed, he putted on a wide friendly smile. You couldn't find words, so you packed up the rest of your things and just got in the car, at the same damn front seat. Afton's kids were sitting in the back, none of them wanted to sit next to their pissed father.

William started the engine and the car moved off. The cold didn’t recede, and you already regretted that you wore only a light t-shirt and shorts.

Michael was looking at the floor the whole time, nervously playing with the zipper on his backpack. He knew what was waiting for him. He knew what he was doing, but his stupid habit of not listening to his father's orders always played a cruel joke on him. He was most afraid for you and Elizabeth, because it was him who got you into this situation after all.

“We'll deal with you at home, Michael,” man behind the wheel said seriously. Michael looked up at the mirror in the car, meeting his father's angry gaze. “you’re grown-up guy, but framed yourself and your girl friend.”

You swallowed nervously, feeling uneasy. Is Afton really that cruel? Yes, he sometimes scared you in childhood, but he never showed any hint of aggression towards you or his children, at least in front of you. When you arrived at your house, you wanted to look at Michael, but he was sitting pressed into the car seat, so you hurried out.

Elizabeth waved goodbye to you, you smiled and said goodbye to her in return.

…

A few days passed after that incident, but you still felt uncomfortable, you felt kind of guilty in front of Mike, and this guilt was eating you up from the inside, forcing you to come up with terrible scenarios in your head. What happened when Michael got home? No, William can't be that cruel.

Unfortunately, Michael started avoiding you, as if he was afraid that someone would see you next to him. When you met on the street, he tried to hurry past with his head down, like a frightened puppy. But Mr. Afton began to visit you every day, every morning he stopped by and brought food to the house: eggs, milk, meat, vegetables. Once he even gave your mom a few hundred dollars so she could buy something for herself, from his words. Sometimes Elizabeth was with him, she couldn't get enough of your company. She kept asking you to play with her in backyard, not that you'd mind, but you couldn't get Michael's behavior out of your head.

On another summer day, you spent time with Elizabeth as always, she showed you her drawings. One of them had an animatronic, although all her drawings consisted only of these robots, but this one impressed you. It was robot girl in a bright red dress and two red ponytails.

“Daddy said he's going to make me one like her soon!” girl exclaimed, looking at your reaction. You looked at the drawing in detail.

“Lizzie, that’s really… great!” you patted her on the head, giving her back her drawing.

“Elizabeth, it's time to go home.” William came up to you. She nodded obediently and headed for the car. “wait for me there, honey.” He said kindly. Still, the way he treated his daughter left you hoping that nothing terrible happened to Michael that day. “Y/n, I have a question for you…“ he began, sitting down next to you on a bench in the yard.

“Yeah?”

“Would you like to go on a date with me?”

“Sorry?” your heart started beating at a furious rate, breathing became faster. You looked at his face, which expressed absolute calm. Your body tensed. Damn, when are you going to stop reacting like that? You must do something about your anxiety.

“I asked if you wanted to go on a date with me, honey.” William repeated.

“B-but you…” you didn't know what words to answer. He's a married man, what will Mrs. Afton think? And what will your whole small town think when they see you two together in some restaurant? “I don't quite understand you…”

“You don't have to worry about such things, bunny.” Afton said stiffly, as if reading your mind. “What do you say?”

You understood that you couldn't refuse. You didn’t knew how to. He was always there for you as if he knew when you were feeling bad and anxious. And how he calmed you down at the cemetery? And how he protected you from your drunken dad when you were little? And when he helped your mom with money and groceries? And in the end, when he gave you an unforgettable birthday in his pizzeria without demanding anything in return? You thought it would be just not right to refuse here.

At some point, he replaced your father. And you was grateful.

“I agree, William.” it was the first time his name came out of your mouth. William’s impassive face immediately changed to delight.

“Good girl,” he caressed your hair. “Ill pick you up tomorrow at 7.”

…

Her doe eyes symbolizing childlike innocence, purity. Such soft lips that he wants to kiss forever. Weak, frail hands. She's so pretty, so defenseless, like a child. William, what is wrong with you? He wants to kiss her, embrace her in his arms tightly, bite her, he want to bury his face in her soft hair, inhale the sweet scent of perfume mixed with shampoo. She's all playful, flirtatious. All for him. His porcelain doll. His little angelic creature. His girl. His fucking girl. His dream.

“Daddy,” she stands in front of him in a skirt and a snow-white blouse, seductively playing with the buttons on it. “What do you want? Tell me.” her voice echoed in his head.

“I want you.” the only thing William could say. “Fuck…”

That's fucking crazy.

His pants are tight as hell, his cock is about to explode, but she doesn't seem to be going to do anything about it. She brings her finger to her mouth, sucking it, then runs it along the jaw line, going lower and lower, drawing a line around her breasts. William has completely lost track of time, who he is, where he is, why, so many questions, no answers, and no answers are needed, all he wants is a continuation of this show. In an instant, the torn shirt flies to hell, and she, as little devil approaches him, sitting on his lap.

“William,” her whisper making the blood boil. “Take me…” her playful fingers run over his hot body.

He's about to suffocate from this unrestrained passion.

Williams’s eyes shoot open and he leaned on his elbows. He was breathing heavily, trying to figure out what just happened. His own wife was sleeping next to him.

…

Afton didn’t lie, he came to pick you up at exactly 7, even a little earlier. Oh, how it cheered him up to see you in the dress he gave you for your birthday. He chose it carefully and for a long time, as well as the necklace for it. William couldn't take his eyes off you the whole way, which didn't go unnoticed by you.

Your date started at a restaurant that he personally picked up. The place was so luxurious, all those tables for two with a white tablecloth, live music and an incredibly intimate atmosphere. All of this made you feel new, completely unknown feelings, but you liked them.

William ordered the two of you a fish fillet with a vegetable side dish, which he asked the best chef of the establishment to cook, because “my girl has the best of everything.”

Still, the growing feeling that someone of neighbors might see you never left, making you nervous again.

“Y/n, don’t worry," William said, cutting the fish in half. “Think of this date as… a continuation of your birthday.”

The waiter came up to you as soon as you finished eating, but dinner wasn't over for you here, William asked for dessert. Oh, yes, he knew you were a big fan of sweets. Even as a child, when you were visiting his family, your little hands were always reaching for the table with candies, because there was never anything at home.

“What do you think, Princess?” gently, lovingly, he asks, studying your expression. You'd be lying if you said you didn't like it. There was an ice cream in front of you: chocolate, creme brulee and vanilla, all three ice cream balls were covered with caramel. Afton knew your preferences perfectly well.

“That's wonderful, thank you!” like a hungry kitten, you started eating dessert. Your thoughts receded into the background at once, now you were most focused on the taste, it is so cloying, sweet, tender, as you liked. Under all this ecstasy, you didn't even notice William's gaze piercing you. Holding his breath, he watched your actions. You were so happy, so beautiful, so… desirable. Begging to be ruined. And when you licked the rest of the ice cream off your lips, he forgot how to breathe. You're the little devil that drives him crazy.

When dinner was over, William paid the bill for the two of you, leaving a tip for the waiter.

You were standing on the street, not far from his car. Despite the evening, this time the temperature didnt drop like back then, it was very warm. Yes, apparently, this summer will be remembered by you as the hottest of all time. William was talking to someone on the old phone, probably Henry, while you stood there and obediently waited, thinking about dinner tonight. There was no point in hiding it, you liked everything. Yes, there were terrible thoughts in your head that this whole romantic setting was not suitable for a girl who just turned 18 and a man who was already 50, but nothing terrible happened, did it? That date, in your head, was just a substitute for the words “thank you” for everything he did for you.

“Princess,” you didn't even notice when he finished talking on the phone. He turned to you, "I hope I satisfied your childish whims?" He smiled. You were right, William was normal and wasnt going to go any further, you can exhale. He just sees you as a child, like his other daughter… right?

“Of course, Daddy!” you giggled, joking. William however wasn't laughing, he fell into a stupor, what did you just call him? He got speechless. That picture immediately popped into his head, that image of you that has been tormenting him for weeks, months, years. Afton raised an eyebrow, laughing nervously back at you.

“Everything for my girl, let's go to the car.”

This time, the back seats weren't occupied, but because of the state of euphoria and delight, you decided that you could at your favorite damn front seat of this purple car. William got in next to you, but he wasn't going to start the car. He couldn’t get out of his head what you called him a few minutes ago. A joke, huh? Everything is burning inside, a wild, crazy feeling gripped his brain. Whole situation got worse when your dress strap fell off your shoulder, in his head it was like a sign to act.

With a light movement, touching your skin, he tucked strand of hair behind your ear and adjusted the dress strap. His touch caused pleasant shivers that spread all over your body. Heart stopped. His hands gently stroked your neck and shoulders with careful movements. Such a… strange, inexplicable feeling. It seems that you want to continue, but something in your head screams "enough, it’s enough", is this probably the remnants of common sense? Hundreds, no, thousands of butterflies in your stomach, the feeling that you are about to melt, like this ice cream. A pleasant shiver through your body from his touches. You stared into his gray-blue eyes, fascinated, with your mouth slightly open, as if begging him to kiss you.

“You… fuck, you're driving me crazy.” Afton hissed in your ear, from the wave of all these new sensations, you couldn't even answer him. His breath burned your skin. “Let's go to my place.”

Pt. 2

I forgot to mention this takes place after the ending

Scenario:

Jun's older sibling, (you), finally returns home after a long work trip and ends up finding unexpected company.

°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°

Dexter:

-You were introduced to him via Jun, obviously. Not on a personal level though, he was introduced to you at the same time with everyone else

-His first thought of you was 'Jun 2.0' and he was right. Except you're less... 'Clumsy' than he is

-He's actually quite pleased that there's someone that's actually mature (according to him)

-He kept asking things like, 'are you actually his sibling?', 'how come your hair is blue and not brown?', 'why are you the older one?', and so on

-If you love nature, then he loves you in a friendly manner

-No seriously this dude was beaming when he finds out

-Sometimes you bring him to a place where no other humans had been and the two of you would just hang out

Fleta Z:

-When visiting your unbiological uncle, Ed, you were just expecting him and Jun, not a whole plane turned robot

-The two of you were weary of each other, but the tension passed when Fleta Z was told you were Jun's sibling

-Nothing much happened between the two of you after that

-Until you caught him with his Flute, and you two ended being good friends

-He honestly thought you were just trying to get to know him because of Jun, but when he ends up in the wrong... Well, he apologized and blew you a tune with his flute

-You find his tune to be calming, and he finds your presence comfortable to be with

Metal Crush:

-Jun's mom introduced you to him

-You thought Jun's mom was a little cray-cray because of him, yet the whole time he was polite

-Maybe it's just how he looked that terrified you, seeing how friendly the two of you actually are made you want to know more

-When he can't spend time with Jun, Jun's mom, or anyone else, he goes to you

-He's actually ecstatic whenever you two hangout

-His speech sometimes confused you, but that didn't stop the two of you from becoming good friends

-He's just glad to have someone actually enjoy his company for once, not counting Jun's mom because she already enjoyed having him around

-Black Hook approved

Buster Gallon:

-You honestly thought you were going to become enemies instead of friends

-The two of you did become friends however, by making fun of each other

-Both of you knew not to go too far, but just enough to make it look like a friendly rivalry (basically teasing on the next level)

-Buster Gallon rebuilt his threee 'mini me's' and you were having the time of your life with them

-Buster's a little pissed off but doesn't really care about it

-Instead the five of you ended up making your own friend group

-The five of you are what the others call 'Hell spawn'

-No seriously, Jun called you guys that. And Buster's little pals annoyed him the entire day

-Black Hook... approved?

Black Hook:

-Not exactly the kind of bot to panic when someone sees him, instead he took you to Jun

-He ended up surprising himself when he finds out you two are related

-He asked you for your name and that's it

-He was content with that, but you weren't. You made it your mission to get to know your captor better, out of spite

-You two ends up being on the same frequency and boy was that an interesting day

-He took you for a ride and you two literally plays pirate with each other, at least no one else was there to see

-Well there's Fleta Z flying by, but he doesn't care (Black Hook threatened him)

-Overall the two of you became great friends and his sons crew members was glad for that

Heavy Iron:

-Well he terrified you on accident when he almost stepped on you when you first met

-He apologized after (with the help of Jun), but seeing you still shaken up he decided to do something nice for you (also with Jun's help)

-Yeah he failed

-Hey, it's the thought that counts

-When Jun told you that he's the one who caused his arm to hurt, you threw a shoe at him. It's a surprise you didn't get thrown something in your face by him

-The two of you only became friends after getting into an accident

-Turns out you two work great together

-You the brain and he's the brawn, you two practically saved yourselves

-And after that the both of you become great friends! Well, it took a few weeks for Heavy Iron to suck up his ego, but it worked

°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°

I don't think i tackled Heavy Iron's character correctly 😞

Safe to say i think i did great

Hope y'all liked this <3

She-Ra cast as drinking buddies

Adora - She's great. Friendly and eager and up for anything. Hope you like to talk about horses, though. Try to keep her away from arm wrestling or that's what you're doing the rest of the evening.

Glimmer - She's an angry drunk. Or a happy drunk. Or a crying drunk. Or she challenges everyone in the bar on dart. Whatever she does, she'll do it with a hundred percent intensity. If someone picks a fight with you, you'll have to hold her back before she smashes a bottle and cuts a bitch.

Bow - He's everyones bestest buddie. He will pay for the drinks, listen to your rants, hold up your head over the toilet and help rain in Glimmer.

Catra - She's really guarded at first, but when the inhibitions drops either the claws or the tears come out. Step very carefully around her. Also, if she wants to have your jacket, it's her jacket now.

Scorpia - She's a delight. Friendly and considerate and a good listener. Although there is this feeling that she has some stuff of her own she's just dying to talk to someone about… if you open the floodgates, be prepared for a lot of tears and to listen for the next few hours.

Entrapta - Let's be honest - she won't listen to a word you say and she'll most likely have dismantled the beer pump and invented a new kind of drink before the evening is over, but you won't be bored.

Mermista - Surprisingly good company, once you get past the attitude. Keeps the drinks coming and have some good stories between all the 'Uuuuuughs'.

Sea Hawk - Life of the party. Shanties and drinks and arm wrestling. It's fun to have fun with frieeeeeends. Will probably have set something on fire and got you kicked out (unrelated incidents) before the evening is over, and never shuts up about Mermiiiiiiiista.

Swift Wind (did someone say Swift Wind?) - Pair him with Adora or Sea Hawk and no net amount of brain cells will have been added to the party. Up for anything and a good sport, though. Expect singing.

Perfuma - Friendly and considerate and works really hard to be a good listener, but if you just want a drink and some chit-chats rather than a group therapy session she's a bit too much. Try to appeal to her inner theatre kid to channel her energies into something more entertaining.

Netossa - PUT THE JÄGERMEISTER AWAY! EVERYTHING DOESN'T NEED TO BE A COMPETITION!

Spinnerella - The team mom makes sure everyone has a good time and stays hydrated.

Frosta - Thinks it's super unfair that she isn't allowed to drink. Still, if you get her to settle down in the juice bar she can be tons of fun.

Castaspella - Fruit drinks and party hats for everyone! Better step up your game, because everyone's friendly wine aunt won't let anyone be bored.

Shadow Weaver - The drinks are bad and the atmosphere is worse and you are beneath her notice. If you can get through her barrage of insults and appeal to her pride, she has the best stories though. Don't expect to come out of it unscarred.

Hordak - He will sit stiff, uncomfortable and completely silent for three drinks, and then he will speak in monotone voice with increasing amount of rage about the injustices he has suffered. Someone might die before the night is over, but it will sure be memorable

Horde Prime - Wonderful company - if your idea of a good time is hearing a narcisist yap on about himself and demand your constant attention. Otherwise, prepare to have a lousy time. Don't leave your drinks alone with him at any time.

Wrong Hordak - LOOK BROTHER, I'M PARTAKING! chugs beer LOOK, BROTHER! DO YOU SEE ME PARTAKE?

Imp - WHO LET THAT LITTLE SHIT INTO THE BAR? Good luck catching him when he zooms around the ceiling.

Emily - I'll be honest, I didn't know robots could drink. Neither did I know they can DISCO, but Emily proves me wrong on both counts.

Angella - Good luck getting her to settle down and relax. No, Angella, the fact that you heard a siren doesn't mean Glimmer has set something on fire (we hope, at least). Has no idea how the social codes are supposed to work, but likes to feel included.

Micah - At home in any company and a great listener. If you're lucky you'll get some stories out of him that will start with "Oh, it's nothing special. We all have that evil teacher that tricked you into helping her kill the entire senior faculty, right?" and spirals from there.

Juliet - The royal guard is never off duty. She might haul you off to cool down if you get too rowdy, but that's it.

Rogelio - Great listener, but not that good a conversationalist.

Kyle - Goddamit, Kyle!

Lonnie - Yes, Lonnie, you can drink more than me. Yes, Lonnie, you can arm wrestle me. No, Lonnie, I wasn't trying to start any shit with Kyle. Sorry, Lonnie, I'll stay out of your way.

Double Trouble - "Hey, you know what would be REALLY funny. If you distract the bartender, I'll… do a thing. No, don't worry about it. Just a thing. It will be funny."

Huntara - Two rules in the Crimson Waste, where one is not to disturb her as she drinks. If you're on her in-list, prepare to have a good time. If you're not, step carefully around her.

Tung Lashor - Sometimes all you want is someone to chug beer and shout the refrains to some stupid songs with. Just keep him away from cats.

Octavia - You know what, better keep her away from cats as well.

[ntls-24722]

[cracks back]

so @artastic-friend gave me some ideas

Since Music Man is canonically not made by Fazbear Entertainment, what if the company that made her made all sorts of other arachnid robots - Music Man being the trendsetter and personifying the entirety of the Arachnida class and having a bunch of other robots representing the other orders? Instead of a pizzeria or an animatronic band like Fazbear, instead they come from a robotics company that does have a restaurant but it's much less marketed for children and is a more adult-friendly place and has a bar and stuff. I got most of my inspo from Shinjuku's Robot Restaurant, partially because of the doctored screenshot that DJMM comes from japan but also because this looks dope and fits the rave vibe that DJMM portrays

The robots do serve the purpose enterainment but they do have a practical purposes like cleaning, bartending, cooking, construction and transport, security, providing medical help and even hunting down pests like rats and roaches. The showcases are not just for entertainment but are also showcases for potential buyers, as all the robots are on auction, but they are all extremely expensive at the moment on account of their versatility, size, and intelligence, as the animatronics, after showcases, actually freely roam the restaurant and directly talk to people and are general party hosts.

DJMM is obvi Aranae, but in the lore for this I imagine he not only has the most resemblance to Music Man, but he's also second oldest, which in this case meant he was made before they became extremely valuable, both of these factors leading to him being auctioned to Fazbear Entertainment. The company that created him is currently working on a new DJMM, which has led to him being very resentful, not just because he's replaced but also there's this copy of him that's going to be having the time of his life at a crazy robot rave restaurant everyday. I'd be pissed too if I was still stuck in the Chuck E Cheese That's Famous For Child Murder And Also Killed My Mom💔

I need to draw all 12 extant orders but I do have these 3 - the represantative for Uropygi, the order where vinegaroons are from, who i made cat-themed mostly because of a joke I made that these are the last catboys of spider nation on account of their tail. I don't have a name for the Uropygi bot, though I did have the ideas of Catman and Confetti Cat. I feel like I can do better. He actually takes up the job of DJMM as a janitor and a party host, but as of currently there is still no DJ. Yet.

There is also the representative for Amblypygi, the mime and the "Dazzle King." They feature no speakers anywhere on their body and is completely silent, and both mimes and actually helps with construction projects out of the restaurant!

peep the grabber

And we have Schizomida, or the kinglets/split kings. (the "kings" refer to the "scorpionlike" arachnids and "queens" refer to the "spiderlike" arachnids. therefore DJMM is a qween💅)

In the case of this au(?) the windups were not prototypes but were made with the purpose of being, like, robot pikmin, and Fazbear Entertainment bought all of those guys out, so Spider Robotics (no idea if thats gonna be the name) made the kinglets, who are in much higher quantity but have devolved in quality, as there are mainly so many of them because they keep breaking and are not very smart. They provide surveillance, alert staff of any emergencies or any information that needs to be known, and... also hunt down and kill pests. No mousetraps, they send a horde of Kinglets on mice. It's brutal.

also there will be a Bighand redesign soon, the idea for which provided by @artastic-friend. I wanted to draw it but i didn't have time but stay tuned 😈

[the-lark-ascending69]

👉👈 hello I'm just a lesbian and I want to hear more about android Robin pretty please

Oh hi!! Thank you for asking, I'm always happy to talk about android Robin! 🥰

Her first owners were Richard and Melissa Buckley. She's a mental health android, meant to keep company and be a positive presence in a patient's everyday life without demanding any kind of emotional labor from them. In this case, I imagine Richard and Melissa are being forced to get an android to help them stop their recreational drug use, or else they risk losing their jobs. They weren't actively cruel to Robin, but they didn't see her as a living, sentient being, so they didn't bother being nice either.

Robin was like a baby, though. Or a little duckling. She decided first thing she saw were her parents. At this point, she was in much better shape than she is in the present, with a few factory errors, yes (her battery and memory were never that good, but they only got worse with time), but she was online, and could instantly know what a "parent" was, what "families" were and how they worked, and she knew she wanted that. So you got Richard and Melissa, who are in their mid fifties at this point, and Robin - a two-year old model, designed to look forever 25, programmed to act inhumanly perfect without traces of anything that could be considered "maturity" or "immaturity", and the imperfect curiosity and naivete of a five year old and you get... the behavior of a very naïve and excitable teenager. It made perfect sense in her mind - Richard could be the dad, Melissa could be the mom, and she could be the daughter.

They got rid of her when her strange functioning became too much for them to handle. They never liked robots anyway - they were these very tree-hugging nature people. Robin insisting on calling them Mom and Dad and demanding love and attention from them simply freaked them out. This was Robin's first experience with heartbreak. She remembers this time fondly, though, because they never physically hurt her, and their house was really nice, and that's where she chose her name. She saw Melissa painting a lot of robins, her favorite bird. She named herself Robin because she thought Melissa would like it (she didn't - she hated it).

Her next owner wasn't bad - in fact, she was the best one she had before meeting Nancy. Her name was Becky, and she was her sister Terry's caregiver. Terry had been in a severe state of catatonia for five years, and she needed constant attention that Becky couldn't give her, so she had Robin act as a full-time nurse whenever she couldn't be there. Becky never spoke to her other than to give her orders, but she wasn't mean - just distant. Robin tried to act friendly and introduce herself, but it was like Becky didn't even hear her. Whenever she wasn't home, Robin enjoyed reading from Becky's library, and she talked to Terry non-stop, even though Terry never said a word. Robin considers Terry her first friend.

It was lonely, but also peaceful and safe.

Eventually, Becky began to grow concerned with Robin's behavior, and sold her to buy another android when she realized she might not be the best one to take care of her sister.

Robin was eventually bought at a far too low price by a gang led by Kali who, uh, they planned to use her as a bomb. They didn't expect her to realize what was going on when they strapped something to her chest and made her walk into a building full of people, but she did, and she ran away.

She was homeless for a few weeks. It was good that she didn't need sleep, food or warmth, but without any documentation and with no address, she couldn't get a job, or do anything, really. She was arrested by the police, who discarded her as trash when they realized she was an android.

Someone found her, took her a repair shop, kinda patched her up and sold her for half her original price. Next time she woke up, she was in Billy Hargrove's room, and the rest is history 🙃

[taanoir]

Nicole flew to Henford for a visit with Blake. They were both happy to see each other.

They spent time catching up on life. They found that their interests had diverged. Nicole still loved music, dancing, going out to clubs and had followed her dreams into the tech industry.

After Blake moved to Henford he made friends with a group of locals that were into football. He still loved music but he spent most of his free time working out or playing pick up matches with his friends. He would hang out with his friends but usually at someone's house, he wasn't really a club person. Too much noise, too many people.

They spent most of their time at the house. Blake's Mom, Poppy, was happy to see Nicole as well. She asked about Nicole's sister's and her Uncle's. Nicole gave them the run down on Tiffany's budding writing career and Jennifer's robotics competitions.

Her Uncle's were both doing well. Uncle Milo was still painting but he had picked up a job teaching art for the City, she thought he was looking for something to do with his time. He taught classes through the Community Center, his favorites classes were for the Gilbert County Memory Care Facility.

Uncle Gene was still running his business, they had transitioned over the years and were now focusing on hosting websites and providing storage space for businesses. More companies are wanting business websites, so they pay to have the site hosted remotely. It's a steady business and gives him and his team more time to develop new things.

Nicole also met Poppy's husband Alfred, he was very friendly and funny. Poppy had left her job in accounting in San Sequoia and become a homemaker in Henford. Alfred had a good position with the Bank of Henford, which was partly responsible for how they met. Blake worked at a local gym as a trainer but Alfred had gotten Blake's brother Josh an entry level job with the Bank. Josh had gotten his degree in finance but Blake didn't think college was for him. Blake still though Josh was a jerk, some things don't change.

They had always enjoyed playing chess together in San Sequoia, Blake was out of practice but they played a few games the night before Nicole headed back .

They both promised to keep in touch but the visit answered the question that had hung over them both, "did I miss the one?". They found they were still friends but nothing more, the trip gave them both the ending they needed.

KATE (Kids Avatar Teacher and Entertainer) by Dan Mathias (2012), FutureBots, West Palm Beach, Florida. “Kids, meet Kate the robot. She wants to play with you, help you do your homework, or just give you a big metallic hug while Mom or Dad are deployed overseas. She can't replace your parent, but with her smiling ET-ish visage and gift for gab, she might be able to ease the distance a bit. Dan Mathias of the Florida-based one-man FutureBots Lab thought up the humanoid telepresence robot specifically as a companion and communication device for kids of remote military service members. He also thinks Kate (Kids Avatar Teacher and Entertainer) could, like Kaspar the friendly robot, help autistic children improve their social and communication skills or maybe be used in nursing homes to assist Alzheimer's patients. Standing 45 inches tall and weighing 70 pounds, Kate's certainly pleasant-looking as two-armed wheeled robots go. But she's more than just a pretty face with a fully articulated mouth. She has a total of 22 degrees of freedom; a Microsoft Kinect sensor for motion detection; and a touch-screen Android tablet chest for teleconferencing. She can even sense carbon monoxide and other hazardous gases and smell smoke to keep companions safe. Mathias built the Windows XP- and Intel Atom processor-driven Kate in three months and says he plans to add solar panels so she can play outside. He does not currently have the backing of companies or universities but is definitely in the market for support.” – Kate the humanoid robot: Kids, let's talk, by Leslie Katz, CNET.

okay so the new episode says robot santa was created in 2801 by the “friendly robot company” (just that, no “mom’s” in front) and presumably thats before she was even born (since thats before farnsworth was even born, for one)

does that mean the company existed *before* Mom? Did she buy the company? or is she a descendant of the founder? I wanna know this lore now

Deadline: February 28th, 2023 Payment: 3¢ per word for fiction, 25 cents per line for poetry Theme: Outstanding fantasy, science fiction, weird fiction, and speculative horror that takes a look at a world where everything is automated and a labor force no longer exists Triangulation: Seven-Day Weekend – Call for Submissions and Guidelines Beginning December 1, 2022, the annual Triangulation anthology will accept submissions for its 20th collection in the series, Triangulation: Seven-Day Weekend. Automation simplifies our lives, to the point where a production facility is so automated it makes no sense wasting energy to run lights. These “dark factories” are currently present in the auto industry, the electronics industry, and even the robotics industry itself. What does the world look like when jobs are automated to the point that the labor force is non-existent? We’re looking for outstanding fantasy, science fiction, weird fiction, and speculative horror—from both new and established writers. Editors: Storm Walden, Co-editor, Triangulation: Seven-Day Weekend. Greg Clumpner, Co-editor, Triangulation: Seven-Day Weekend. Humanity craves efficiency, subconsciously forming habits to make each portion of our day more comfortable, allowing us the time and ability to expand our horizons. From Neanderthals learning migration patterns for hunting food to coding scripts to streamline processes to the dream of roads filled with fully autonomous vehicles, we push boundaries to make our lives easier. What happens when our lives become as easy as they can be? What are the sustainability implications? How does excess free time affect our social structure? What personal habits develop when we’ve already made our work lives as efficient as possible? Are we going to rise above working long hours in drudgery? Will a seven-day weekend be hopeful, lightening the communal load for all to experience joy and freedom every day? What is the cost of that freedom? Will automation take over society, the world, the universe? What do the unemployed do with their unlimited free time? What are the socioeconomic implications if no one has a job? Is it simpler or more difficult to find daily bliss in our lives? “Computer” was once a job title, until the humans were replaced by mechanical calculators and, eventually, electronic digital computers. What is the next step in automation evolution? Is it the development of an artificial general intelligence that possesses human-like processing capabilities? Alternatively, could bio-robotics take the leap toward sentience, creating living, breathing, dwellings and vehicles? What rights and entitlements do these evolutions share with humanity? Are these sentient constructs—these beings—also entitled to a weekend? Think the Weasley household in the Harry Potter series, the Golems of Kabbalah, the Replicants from Blade Runner, Mom’s Friendly Robot Company from Futurama, or the Cylon rebellion from Battlestar Galactica. Go out on a limb and show us something we’ve never conceived.   Submission Requirements Submissions Open: December 1, 2022 Submissions Close: February 28, 2023 Word Count: We consider fiction up to 5,000 words, but the sweet spot is 3,000. There is no minimum word count. Stories over 5000 words will be rejected unread. Genre: We accept science fiction, fantasy, and horror–and enjoy intelligent blends of the three. Stories without a speculative element will not be considered. We do not accept unsolicited reprints, multiple submissions, or simultaneous submissions. If we reject a story before the end of the reading period, feel free to send another. We love creative interpretations of our themes, but we do require the stories to be a solid fit. We run mature content only if we like the story and find the mature content to be integral to it. Please, no hate-ist stories (or any other -ist), stories with suicide, religious proselytizing or excessive, unwarranted viole

nce. We do not accept fanfic. Please send a short bio in the cover letter of your submission. We ignore that until and unless we buy your story. Poetry Guidelines: No minimum or maximum number of lines, but poems of more than 100 lines will have to be extraordinary to find a place in the anthology. Same Submittable link as prose submissions. Manuscript Format: Please use industry-standard manuscript format. (For example, https://www.sfwa.org/2005/01/04/manuscript-format/) We’re not testing you or trying to make you jump through hoops, but we do want a manuscript that is easy for us to read. We reserve the right to reject a story because it does not adhere to our formatting guidelines. We accept manuscripts in the following formats: .doc or .docx (MS Word) .rtf (Rich Text Format — generic document format that most word processors can create). How We Choose We are a meritocracy. New authors are as welcome as those with a laundry list of accomplishments. But it’s going to be the story that wins us over. Grab us by the lapels, drag us onto that plane, take us for the ride of our lives… but get us back on the ground safely and home in time for dinner. We aim to read submissions as they are received. If a story doesn’t work for us, we reject it. If we think the story has great potential but isn’t quite there yet, we request a rewrite. The ones we love the most, we hold on to for further consideration. Next, the stories fight it out amongst themselves until we have our final lineup. At which time, final acceptances are sent out. It’s sort of like Enter the Dragon, but without the nunchucks. When a story is accepted, the changes we suggest will typically be minor and/or cosmetic. Response: Final decisions are made by April 30. Eligibility: All writers, including those who are known or related to the editorial staff, can submit to Triangulation. That doesn’t mean they’ll necessarily get in, but we are happy to consider their work. If Your Story Is Accepted Prose Compensation: We pay 3¢ per word. Payment will be either via PayPal or check. $5 minimum payout. Poetry Compensation: We pay 25 cents per line. Payment will be either via PayPal or check. $5 minimum payout.

murder drones ep 8 spoilers

murder drones is an indie animated show by liam vickers and produced through glitch productions, which you may also know for tadc

the main premise of murder drones is thousands of years into the future humanity spread itself all across the cosmos, and made a brand of robot to help them, called worker drones. the workers were mistreated, but it’s not like they revolted and killed all humans, because the humans did that by themselves. the core of the planet copper 9 collapsed, eliminating all biological life from the planet and plunging it into a perpetual winter. the workers picked where humanity left off. the parent company of the workers, jcjehnson (in spaaace!!!) wasn’t exactly happy with the concept of runaway ai, so they deployed a variant of drones to copper 9, the disassembly drones, aka murder drones (!!!) to kill the workers

our main protagonists are uzi, an angsty teen worker drone, n, a rebellious and friendly murder drone, and v, a violent murder drone who puts up with uzi

in the pilot we also meet j. she isn’t exactly very relevant in the show so we’ll just say she’s the leader of the copper 9 squad

in the second episode the main antagonist of the show is introduced, the absolutesolver, a monstrous ai who grew to resent humanity. it mutates in damaged ai and grants its hosts strange powers. one of these hosts is a worker named doll, who lost her parents to v and wants to take revenge. at the end of ep 3 it’s revealed that uzi is another host the solver

in ep 4 we learn about cabin fever labs, which apparently did some funky things to doll and uzi’s moms to cause their weird powers. also uzi overheats and transforms into her solver form yea that’s a thing apparently. large wings and a cool tail. not much lore wise to go off of in this episode but it’s still cool!!

in ep 5 we are introduced to my pookie pie cyn. the basics of this episode reveals that the murder drones used to be workers and have absolutesolver code inside them which allows them to heal and revive cause that’s a thing for some reason, and that cyn was the first absolutesolver host. uzi has to hack into n and v’s memories to block the solver from trying to delete them

we also get more info on a character who was introduced at the end of ep 3, tessa. tessa is one of few human characters who treats the workers with respect and care, and cyn plans to massacre a gala being held in tessa’s parents manor. tessa, despite being warned not to by cyn, ambushes the gala to try and stop cyn. cyn tells her “you didn’t have to see this”. and the massacre is never shown on screen.

in ep 6 tessa as a grown-up appears!!! she, n, v, and uzi all have to head down to an elevator shaft to try and get into cabin fever labs before doll. it’s not said why yet. while they are there, we are introduced to our two main antagonists of the episode. alice, a feral worker who was trapped underground for a long time, and the sentinels, a dingo-esque robot designed to kill any drone, worker or murder. they do this by flashing a big glare of light that renders the drone immobile and unresponsive and then just tears em apart. alice ambushes the crew and along with her adopted child beau just?? tortures them?? for some reason? alice particularly doesn’t like uzi because apparently alice knew her mom nori. there’s also higher stakes in this episode because the absolutesolver is now trying to possess uzi. n and tessa manage to escape but are cornered by sentinels who bootloop (the term for the light) n. tessa tries to control the sentinel but the sentinel bites her and upon tasting her blood, has a bit a fit and ends up breaking its head

uzi and v manage to escape after the sentinels find their way into alice’s little torture room and kill her. the crew meets up after n manages to snap out of bootloop, and then after a bit of sentinel shooting we reach the main climax of the episode. the crew comes up to see doll has been bootlooped with the keybug in hand but WAIT it’s a trap and she puts the keybug into the reader and falls down the cavern into the labs, but not before opening all the doors to allow the sentinels access. v and tessa handle the dingos while n and uzi try to get into the elevator. uzi uses her solver, which causes the ai to be able to brieftly take control and turn the original translate code into a [null] singularity, which is basically a black hole. the solver uses its moment to give n a single message; “MISS ME?” 

after the singularity sort of collapses on itself and disappears, they are left with an entrance to the elevator. tessa, n and uzi all enter while v targets the main priority; the sentinel from earlier who bit tessa and rebooted. this red eyed sentinel targets both drones and humans and also has a murder drone arm for some reason

v is about to laser the dingos head off until she sees another sentinel figure out there’s a battery making the elevator go down, and thus rip it off putting the team at risk. v decides to sacrifice herself by instead using her laser to cut the wires making the elevator go up. her last words are “uzi. i trust you.”

ep 7 starts off with a flashback. it’s shown that nori, uzi’s mother, was an experiment, intentionally infected by humans with the absolutesolver to study it. it’s also shown that there is a cure, a patch, designed to give the host more control over their powers and eliminate the risk of possession by the program itself. cabin fever labs look a lot like a church, this isn’t important i just think it’s cool. it’s also shown that doll’s mother, yeva, is also a host of the solver, who was successfully patched. 

uzi, n and tessa crash down and land in a 

mineshaft and after n says “we won’t hurt you” to uzi, she gets scared. a rockslide starts, separating the 3. n is forced to face trauma hallucinations of v in the past and cyn, and cyn tries to take back control via forcing him to relive memories of him slaughtering humans when he was first converted into a murder drone, along with other murder drones, this thankfully is unsuccessful but he is still dragged through the mines by one of the solver’s tendrils before being saved by a disembodied drone heart who is revealed to be nori. she’s alive‼️‼️ meanwhile uzi finds cabin fever labs and tessa is ambushed by doll, who asks her where the patch is. after some conversation, doll is jumpscared and fatally injured by an important character we’ll see later

nori explains that the absolutesolver is trying to consume and destory planets, humanity, and other absolutesolver hosts. we also learn that cyn is the one who deployed the murder drones and replaced their memories to make them think it was jcjehnson who did

she makes n promise not to tell uzi she’s alive, and he does. uzi learns about her mother and the experiments when she reaches cabin fever labs. she is understandably horrified when doll shows up, horrifically injured and slips on her own oil. her last words are displayed on her visor. “FIGHT BACK”. tessa shows up and attacks uzi, almost successfully killing her until n appears, and asks tessa if she knew about the patch. she’s about to monologue until n cuts her head off, and tessa collapses. uzi is still on the ground. n hands her the patch like “yea that’ll help” until it’s shown that the solver has successfully possessed uzi and destroys the patch. it almost kills n until nori shows up, and thus a very cool fight scene

the solver successfully manages to make n take a hit and sends him flying to the ground. meanwhile it focuses on nori and almost eats her until n tells up at nori and tells her that he and uzi have been “hanging out”. nori is furious and slaps uzi, which manages to make the solver lose control. uzi doesn’t realize nori is nori and kicks her down a large pit leading to the core of the planet. n panics like “THATS YOUR MOM!” and the two just mindlessly scream until they hug together because WOW the horrors

it cuts to tessa’s head rolling towards the pit before it’s stopped and picked up by…tessa? she screw’s her head back on and removes her spacesuit. n and uzi realize something is wrong when doll’s corpse is dragged away and when they turn around they see someone devouring it. we see this person eat dolls heart and slurp it up, and it’s revealed that cyn killed tessa at the massacre and was wearing her skin. in ep 6 tessa wasn’t really tessa. she ambushes n and uzi, attacking them. uzi uses what little time she has to save n and send it flying out of the labs along with the keys to tessa’s spaceship before being dragged into the pit leading to the planets core. the end of the episode shows uzi just floating through space and looking at an imploded planet.

in episdoe 8, it's revealed that j knew cyn was pretending to be tessa, nori's alive, and v's alive!!!! n and uzi have the goal of destroying cyn's heart because the absolutesolver needs a host. the entire episode is awesome fight scene after fight scene so i'll keep it brief. cyn Fucking Dies and the absolutesolver is now melded with uzi, possessing her tail. uzi and n are dating now. j is alive i think and nori and khan (uzi's dad who REALLY likes doors) are back together i think

The Character Forge: How to Play as Bender Bending Rodriguez in DnD 5e

For this build, we want to embody everyone’s favorite wanna-be folk singer, Bender from Futurama. We need a build that will make bender great at all the things he loves to do, including cheating, gambling, cheating at gambling, smoking, drinking, wanting to kill all humans, stealing, and selling Fry’s blood on more than one occasion.

Your Standard Mom’s Friendly Robot Co. Bending Unit

We’re an amazing futuristic mechanical man with extendo-arms and a cheating softwear built in. So, for race we’re Warforged. Bender is designed for neither combat nor speed, despite being a certified war hero, so he’s an Envoy Warforged. Envoys get +1 CON and +1 to two different stats. Since Bender’s a convicted felon and he’s built to bend steel girders for the construction of suicide booths, we’ll give him +1 DEX and +1 STR. They also get proficiency with a tool and a free language. We would give him Spanish or Binary, but those aren’t DnD languages, so substitute whatever you want. Envoys also get to integrate a tool they’re proficient with into their body, giving them tool expertise with one tool. For Bender, we’ll choose Thieves’ Tools. However, Cooking tools is a back-up option.

For Alignment, we’re a known criminal. We have friends, but we’ve referred to them as accomplices and sold naked pictures of them when we haven’t threatened to drop them off the Statue of Liberty and selling their blood. So, we’re Chaotic Neutral. Sometimes helpful, often not.

For background, we’re a Criminal. He’s a convicted felon, and he loves stealing and taking things.

It’s important to remember that for Bender, intoxication works opposite of a normal human. Robots need alcohol to fuel their power cells, and sobriety makes them delirious and weak. Talk with your DM about reversing the standards of intoxication for your build of Bender.

What a Classhole

Cleric     Trickery: Bender has only been religious on two instances, but if given the chance to worship a holy con-artist? He’d probably be interested in such a god, and take notes on their capers. Then rob them.

Monk     Drunken Master: Normally, I don’t like this subclass, but Bender does drink excessively, so it fits.

Rogue     Swashbuckler: A charming dastardly rogue with rakish audacity. Bender definitely has some charm to him.     Thief: Bender is a criminal and can climb without taking an action, which he can just use his extendo-arms to do.

Stats and Proficiencies

In order to be a master thief, we’ll need top billing going to our Dexterity. As a robot programmed to bend steel girders, so he needs at least above human Strength and Constitution. Bender’s also a lovable rascal, so a good Charisma stat is also important. But his Intelligence and Wisdom are subpar.

Acrobatics Athletics Deception Intimidation Performance Sleight of Hand Stealth

Name: Bender Bending Rodriguez Race: Envoy Warforged Background: Criminal Alignment: Chaotic Neutral Class: Thief Rogue (20) Base Stats: Strength: 16 (+3) Dexterity: 20 (+5) Constitution: 20 (+5) Intelligence: 8 (-1) Wisdom: 8 (-1) Charisma: 14 (+2) Saving Throws: Strength: +3 Dexterity: +11 Constitution: +5 Intelligence: +5 Wisdom: +5 Charisma: +2 Combat Stats: HP: 203 AC: 16 Speed: 30 Initiative: +5 Proficiency Bonus: +6 Passive Perception: 9 Dark Vision: 0 feet Proficiencies and Expertise:    Acrobatics (Rogue)    Athletics (Warforged)    Deception (Criminal)    Intimidation (Rogue)    Performance (Rogue)    Sleight of Hand (Rogue)    Stealth (Criminal) Skills: Acrobatics: +11                  Medicine: -1 Animal Handling: -1           Nature: -1 Arcana: -1                          Perception: -1 Athletics: +9                       Performance: +8 Deception: +14                  Persuasion: +2 History: -1                          Religion: -1 Insight: -1                           Sleight of Hand: +17 Intimidation: +14                Stealth: +17 Investigation: -1                 Survival: -1

Damage Resistances:     Poison Condition Resistances     Poison Condition Immunities     Disease

Bonus Actions:

Cunning Action: Aim, Dash, Disengage, or Hide once per turn. Fast Hands: Use your Cunning Action to make Sleight of Hand checks, use Thieves’ Tools, or take the Use Object action.

Reactions:

Uncanny Dodge: Take half damage from an enemy you can see.

Features:

Blindsense: Know location of hidden creatures within 10 feet. Criminal Contact: You have a connection of criminals to relay information. Elusive: Creatures cannot gain advantage on you while you are conscious. Evasion: Take 0 damage on a successful Dex save. Integrated Protection: Light armor is built into your body. Your AC is 11 + DEX. Reliable Talent: Skill checks you’re proficient in below 10 become 10. Second-Story Work: Climbing doesn’t require extra movement. Running jump distance increases by 5 feet.  Sentry’s Rest: You don’t sleep. You power down for 6 hours, but stay alert. Sneak Attack: 10d6 extra damage to first attack with advantage on a turn. Stroke of Luck: Treat failed attack or skill check as a 20 once per rest. Supreme Sneak: Advantage on Stealth checks when moving half your speed. Thief’s Reflexes: Take two turns on the first round of combat. Thieves’ Cant: Convey secret messages in casual conversation. Use Magic Device: Ignore class, race, and level requirements for magic items. Warforged Resilience:  You have immunity to disease, advantage on poisoned saving throws and resistance to poison type damage, you don't need to eat, drink, or breathe, you don't need to sleep, you can't suffer from exhaustion, and you can't be put to sleep through magic.

How do you feel about this build of our lovable scoundrel? Would you build him differently? Would you play him a different way? Do you have a request for a character you’d like to see get a DnD build? Let me know, and I’ll see you guys next time in the character forge, where heroes are made.
