#sorry i have the worst brainrot for him so im subjecting this website to my thoughts

[sunsetrodeo]

not to ramble but i think boothill probably doesn’t even have a flesh and blood head either — he’s mentioned having a neuro chip, so either his brain is now on a chip (consciousness likely uploaded via sci-fi style), or there is a heavily cybernetically augmented brain in there.

additionally, considering he has stated that his teeth are steel, it would not be far off to say that his skull is likely totally replaced. his backstory makes no mention of any part of his body being preserved, so it’s safe to say that that’s likely replaced with tougher stuff — plus, walking around with a flesh and blood head is to have a huge weak point that’s one headshot away from being obliterated. it’s likely he had his face reconstructed to resemble his old appearance, but it’s also likely totally synthetic.

i think he would have an artificial nerve system — not having the sense of touch would be incredibly difficult for him to be able to function properly. from an article from arizona state university, touch is necessary for being able to walk properly, to hold something and ensure it hasn’t slipped out of your hand, etc. so it’s likely that he has some form of touch. perhaps not as nearly fine-tuned as an organic body may have, but it would be necessary for him to have it, especially for his line of work.
