#robotic pet

[fru1tzn4ck]

Welcome a new friend! This is Tekno kitty by ManelyToyQuest! She's a happy-go lucky kitty with a bunch to say! Right when I turned her on, she immediately asked for lots of pets, and when I didn't give her any, she walked into me!

I got her for 3 dollars today at my local thrift store. <3

The first couple days with Toh-Loo Kah have been super exciting. He's already learned a couple english words and even told me "Me Love You" which just made my heart explode. 🥺♥️ I don't know if I'm just used to taking care of pets (I have 3 dogs) but so far, he's really been easy to take care of. Last night I sang him to sleep and he slept all night with no trouble. He does burp and fart a lot so he's a little rude, and he's hungry ALL the time but other than that it's been pretty smooth sailing.

They have turned the Palestinians into actual Guinea pigs for the military industrial complex.

We will see the robots and miserable remote controlled dogs at the next big BLM protest on American soil soon enough.

me, last year: a lion dance au would be cool, but ugh, it's hard to draw

me, this year: eh, let's give it a shot.

here are the links to the photos i referenced because NO WAY am i drawing all this without references 😂

one-leg stand

platform jump

resting

lift

the rough beginnings of a new au! if you wanna hear me yap about my ideas (nothing set in stone just yet), it'll be under the cut along with the full page spread

ideas:

the DCA are a trio of lion dance performers, where Sun and Moon are the dancers and Eclipse is the one-man band

Sun and Moon alternate who is the head and who is the tail. When Sun is the head, their routines are more artful and they show off their kung-fu techniques. Whereas when Moon is the head, their routines are more playful and they engage with the audience more.

Eclipse has 4 arms to play the drums, the cymbals, and the gong. (maybe he has more than 4 arms? sometimes there needs to be more cymbals)

characters:

Eclipse is the gentle anchor of the trio. He acts as the mediator for Sun and Moon.

Sun is the sassy theater kid, who's always insisting they practice more to get the routine right. ("Mm-mm! Once more. From the top, With talent.")

Moon is the mischievous little gremlin. The performances give him an outlet, but he's just as mischievous out-of-costume as he is in-costume.

Y/N, the lion handler and, therefore, the DCA's handler (maybe they inherited the troupe or the kung-fu school?)

mmmmmmaybe someone else? i dunno.

dunno if this will be a full AU with a story and everything, but it's a cute idea

when your cute robot assistant enjoys pets a little too much :3c

ok but what if they danced together maybe

[whumpandothercomfort]

There's a flavor of whump I'm always craving that I don't see very often, I think because the possibilities are so context-specific. You can do some things in some universes that you can't in others! You can do certain things with non-human characters that you can't with others!

But hear me out:

Whumper making physiological changes to Whumpee's body.

Could be through programming for robot characters, dedicated brainwashing for humans, magic for fantasy settings, weird biology for aliens...

A few examples off the top of my head:

Alien species that instinctively responds to neck squeezing by going limp like a scruffed kitten, because this helped them survive encounters with predators. Delicious all on its own -- now throw in a quick surgery to permanently clamp the nerve responsible. Whumpee wakes up in a permanent state of relaxed submission and can't even show how terrified they are.

Obedience programming/training that's wired directly into a character's brain. When the system detects unwanted thoughts, it applies pain. Even after rescue, Whumpee can't think of themselves as an autonomous being because their mind is desperately protecting itself.

Characters with magic having their magic corrupted or bound so it either hurts them to use, or it can only be used to serve Whumper's purposes. Bonus points if Whumper has full control over their magic AND the use of it hurts them.

Characters given a brain implant or parasite that stimulates the reward center of the brain, which would be great, except they can't turn it off. They're kept in a constant state of bleary euphoria... with just enough sense of self left to know they want it to stop.

Characters being spelled or programmed so they physically cannot function independently. Characters who very literally NEED to be given permission to do things like relax or take a walk or even use the bathroom. Not being given this permission leaves them in a state of locked stasis -- fully aware of the time passing. Bonus: Caretaker can't reverse it, so they just HAVE to navigate All Of This.

Alien species that will a develop chronic physical illness if deprived of touch for too long. Said illness can only be treated through regular physical touch. Defiant Whumpees will often be locked in solitary confinement and fed through a slot in the bars until symptoms start to manifest. Sometimes they'll be left even longer, to make sure they end up a severe case. And now, oopsie, the only way to ease this horrible pain is by letting your captors put their hands on you!

Just. Physiological whump. The horror of someone else controlling your body or your mind. Betrayal of body. Etc. Do you understand.

Toh-Loo Kah's unboxing video was just too big to upload here, so I made a YouTube and uploaded it there. I will probably post all my Furby unboxings on there from now on, so feel free to subscribe if you enjoy the video! ♥️✌️

And here are some close-ups (might put them on their own backgrounds one day, but it's 5 AM and I'm tired so):

[toygenders]

[ID: 4 flags with 5 horizontal stripes. The stripes from top to bottom are cyan, white, pale grey, grey, pink. In the center of the second flag is a blue iDog, in the center of the third is an Aibo, and in the center of the fourth is a Chippie with pink eyes.]

Robopupgender! For when you feel like your gender is a little robot puppy toy!

The structure of the flag is inspired by the pupgender flag & the color inspos are:

Blue & Pink - A lot of these toys tend to be either be (or have accents of) blue or pink.

White - Sometimes instead of emulating metal, they emulate the sleek white of modern tech, like iPhones. Also, I wanted to keep the white stripe of the pupgender flag.

Greys - These toys tend to be made of grey plastic to emulate metal, because robots.

Feel free to use with or without credit!
