"Our gods are dead and will be", thus spoke Zarathustra

"Won't hear the bay, as the rays are falling down"

You should try and fill the abyss there, Zarathustra

And build it with rocks of fire, your own empire.

love that if my writing via computer all starts to look bad and I hate it I can always count on analog writing to catch me 🙏

I somehow always write better by hand then with a keyboard. typing skills too fast for words to flow through my brain naturally. also it's very satisfying seeing the parts I crossed out to pick a better word or way to say something. I feel way more confident in my writing when I can see the different options I tried before which is something typing doesn't give you.

also idk if this is me specifically but analog writing feels way less offcial then typing on a computer. I feel like I can make mistakes with far less fear of it not being perfect immediately. plus you get a built-in editing round when you type it up.

sure sometimes I can't read my scribbled handwriting but then I get to play context clues and guess what I could've possibly put there and if I abbreviated it for no reason and that's why it's too short for the word I think it is or if I just didn't know how to spell it at the time so I guessed and now it's impossible to tell what it was.

i feel like my ideas for Koboh are getting gradually more coherent (and complex) as i think about her more....

so! some more things i've thought of for it that i want to jot down in one place

-the funds for the research and construction of her were stolen from Var's mother. she's incredibly ableist, and Var - tired of the way she'd treated him after he was injured - wanted a little petty irony and used the credits stolen from her to fund the project for his custom assistance droid (the funny thing is, Var is very well off financially and could have funded the project himself. instead he wanted to use stolen credits)

-Koboh scans the faces of most everyone she meets, and doing so sends a ping to Var's cranial implant. he can then tag the person it scanned with various pre-set roles, then ping the info back to her to be stored. it's become like a second-nature to him, and he doesn't think to mention it to anyone - the rest of the polycule probably doesn't even know they've got roles! roles include stranger, wary, friend, enemy, doctor, priority with other tags being available to be added to each person

for example, Teeres is tagged with friend, doctor, priority - the latter of which means that if Var faces a medical emergency, then if Res is present among other people, then Koboh will prioritize getting his attention to help, rather than anyone else in the room. friend means she'll allow him to interact with it without hissing or nudging away, and doctor means that if he tells her to do something specific under a medical emergency, then she can do so without Var's input (it can usually only follow Var's orders, per programming, but priority tag can override this)

on the other hand, if Var needs to be carried somewhere, then Farn becomes priority for Koboh to get the attention of

the tag system can get complicated depending on what's needed at the time, but it's like a list in its processor. it gradually goes down that list, "striking off" names as it finds them unavailable, and once it exhausts the list - or hits a certain time frame - it enters a last resort emergency mode to keep Var alive until help can arrive

We celebrate love and friendship. Happy Valentine's Day everyone!! My fav ship PapyTon and my Hollow, Mtt inspired Ocs: Mtt Droid-Ex and Void Vessel. I'm happy for the friends I made this last months/years and so happy for the friends I have.

Yo I did one of dem art summary thingys! And I’m proud of the progress I’ve made this year! I’ve done a lot of cool pieces.

Haha, I think it’s funny how the year started with Luminary and ended with Luminary (I did not do that on purpose—)

[friendly-jester]

Din be nice. The droid's got anxiety :(

Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex - Droid Void:

"This is such a bittersweet level. It has some decent moments but it also has some of the more annoying sections in the game, specially with the "Aliens" suit...definitely one of the worst platforming levels."

My brain hurts. Be prepared for star wars clone art.

So for the Skeleguy’s name I’m looking at font names cause eh he he he, hoping for one that connects to “soop” / “soup” cause also ‘he he he’.

In the process I am seeing font names that make me imagine more skeleton characters—

did the Tumblr communities just pop up out of nowhere for anyone else?? they were just suddenly on my dash with 100s of people in them. maybe I just haven't been paying attention

Varkhal + Assistance Tech

Loathe as he is to admit it, Var uses assistance tech to make dealing with his conditions not only easier, but in some cases possible at all. It's only because he's from a family of old money (and inherited double what he was meant to, with the loss of his brother who was meant to get the other half) that he can afford the tech he needs. He likely wouldn't have survived in the Empire without it.

Rebreather

Breathing issues cause him to have a hard time getting enough air. He needs to wear a rebreather - or some other form of mask, tube, nasal canula etc. connected to a source of oxygen - at just about all times. He can take it off for short periods of time given he's somewhere with good air quality + ventilation, mostly to eat or shower, before putting it back on.

His usual rebreathers function almost as filter systems, filtering extra oxygen from the air to feed into the mask, while also filtering the CO2 out of the mask. The ones meant for daily use, wearing into combat or the field and such, tend to be clunky and somewhat uncomfortable, as they need the space to have the technology in them to work properly.

He has more "lightweight" ones, as he'd describe them, for when he's just hanging out, tinkering, not doing anything that makes his breathing pick up. These ones are more comfortable, but can't keep up with oxygen intake if he's doing anything remotely strenuous.

When he sleeps, he uses something similar to a CPAP. His breathing is worse when he's asleep, so he needs a stronger source of pure oxygen. The mask connects to a high-quality machine via a tube; the machine is like a large version of his usual rebreather, filtering larger volumes of oxygen at a time through itself and into the tube/mask, while dispelling the CO2.

While not fully intentional, the filters in his rebreather(s) also help to keep him from getting sick.

Koboh (no serial number)

Var uses she/it interchangeably for Koboh.

Outside of his rebreather, Koboh is his most obvious piece of assistance tech. She's a large droid, modelled after a varactyl (the flower of her namesake, Koboh spiker, is engraved on her head). Var has an implant in his skull connected to her, allowing him to communicate simple things with her, as well as allowing her to get certain types of readings from him. She can also get readings from his various rebreathers/other masks.

She's essentially an alert droid, with a number of other tasks also programmed into her.

Tasks and alerts include:

-Informing Var (or others) if his rebreather or components in it are nonfunctional. She carries both a spare, lightweight quality one, as well as one connected to her via a tube, similarly to his sleep setup. Lightweight one is for more mobility but can't give as much oxygen, one connected to her for if he's really struggling for air and being stuck at her side is fine. -Carries his immunosuppressants, and also gives him a ping when it's time to take them -Carries his AAC -Keeps track of his blood oxygen levels via the implant -Finds another person to aid Var if he's injured or unconscious -Able to use his AAC to communicate something Var might need if he's unable to -Meant to be a mount, he uses her if he's expected to travel long distances or over rough terrain by foot -Keeps track of air quality -Has an emergency combat setting, reserved only for if Var is in immediate danger and can't defend himself. Priority is to run, with him on her saddle -Emergency setting for if Var isn't breathing, is unconscious, and there's no one around to help -She scans most people she meets, then sends a ping to Var's implant. He can then set "tags" for the person, ping them back to Koboh, and the tags get saved to her databank. Different tags allow her to have different interactions with people (all of the polycule has friend tag, with priority tag be noted for some of them for certain circumstances, for example)

TZ-9947 - "Bluebell"

Var uses it/its for bluebell.

A very small droid that floats near Var. There's a bluebell squish bloom engraved over its compartment.

Since Koboh can't follow Var everywhere, Bluebell is intended to follow him places that she can't go. It's usually mounted over Koboh's chest, but when Koboh is told to stay put and to release Bluebell, it activates to follow Var.

Its compartment carries immunosuppressants, it alerts him if he needs to take them, and it also keeps track of his blood oxygen levels via the implant. He'll sometimes keep a pain stim or two in it, as well.

AAC Device

Var's voice is so quiet that his rebreather can easily drown it out if someone isn't giving him their full attention. Paired with the rasps from the rebreather itself, and general communicator interference, he can be anywhere from difficult to impossible to understand over comm. To make up for it, he has an AAC with pre-set words and phrases to each button.

There's general, military/command-type buttons, and medical ones on the device.

As it's physical buttons, Koboh can also use it to communicate if Var needs something.

Hello! I’m called Shino and my pronouns are she/her. I’m usually a lurker, so that’s why I don’t really do anything on my account. But, I do enjoy reading on ao3 about fandoms that I like.
