The other day during a checkup my psychiatrist said that I should be studied and I laughed and said "well it wouldn't be the first time someone in my family has been told that!"

Like mother like son I guess lollll.

There's nothing wrong with me btw I'm just a weirdo who's having positive versions of medication side effects as if my body is a living uno reverse card.

also while i have robots on the brain. ive always thought its a little silly when media pulls "this robot wasnt built to be sentient but it glitched and now its a real boy!" but i do think itd be fun to do a variation like "this robot was built to be sentient but the ethics board were like 'hey i don't think we're allowed to sell things with thoughts and feelings' so the devs last minute commented out half of the code before launch day and now oops some of the bots have figured out how to access that part of their code again" . both slightly more plausable AND a lot funnier to imagine the absolute scandal it'd cause in the tech world.

robot discrimination allegories are kind of tired and hard to do right but i do think theres smth interesting in exploring the themes of humanization and dehumanizion with androids. like customer service robots built to be humanoid while the worker drones aren't. how certain people may be more willing to empathise with a robot that looks like a white person over a real human being. would companies want to create androids that act as humanlike as possible in order to exploit customers empathy? or would they do the opposite in order to avoid questions about ethics and sentience? much to think about. much to think about.

Today I got to buy a random kid at kroger a pack of pokemon cards and MAN WAS THE KID'S DAD CONFUSED nfbasndfsghd the kid was looking at me and my friend in front of the vending machine with so much joy and curiosity that I was like "fuck it" and bought two packs so I could give him one. Pokemon cards are made for kids and with the prices I see people selling packs for in my area, god knows that kid probably hasn't seen any cards for months.

I may not have a lot of extra cash to spend (looks at the amount of money i dropped today getting an older video game deluxe edition set bc im impulsive) but I'm glad I go to make this random kids day lol.

It was also really funny how stunned the Dad was that some random dude in a kroger deadass bought his son a pack of cards LOL

So, I've been sleeping on Cassette Beasts and found a few days of free time between some important projects and gave it a try.

THIS GAME IS GREAT OH MY GOD

So of course, I needed to draw a crossover of my previous hyperfixation with Cassette Beasts because why not

Netto isn't used to the fact that he can't pull as many back-to-back all-nighters quite like he used to when he was in his 20s... Luckily, Saito is always there to yell at his idiot twin brother to go to bed. It's time for sleep when Netto stops being able to identify what numbers mean anymore (he's looking at his notes for the ship's proposed budget for the next fiscal year. It says so at the top of the page. At this level of sleep deprivation he might be seeing multiple versions of the paper overlayed on top of each other at this point...)

First time drawing Saito for the AU! Reusing a design I created for an earlier (and unrelated) AU, mostly because I still like it a lot. Mostly to show off his bangs and family resemblance. He probably looks in his 20s, 100% as a result of Netto giving him an updated digital model back in college.

Also, first look at Netto's Lichtenberg scars I've planned for him in my head since the beginning :3 The amount of times this man touched unregulated electronic equipment (AND GENERATORS) barehanded as a child resulted in extensive scars on his hands. It's ok! He's only missing some feeling in his hands, not all feeling!

Lifes been a lot, so take some doodles of Adult Netto without his bandana on! He's got so much hair that it basically just FLOPS down instead of remaining spikey like it did when he was a kid. He mostly just lets it be but sometimes he put its up in messy ponytails or buns, sometimes pins up the bangs if they get too annoying...

Plus, heres a closeup of the cute little TechStar doodle I did in the corner. I'm trying to get better at drawing people interacting so... snuggle time. (Even when theyre supposed to be getting ready to sleep, Netto's reading. He's probably going over research notes like a nerd. Subaru doesn't mind bc at least hes not at his desk doing it!)

Forte.exe model kit finally arrived >u<

[whimsicalscribblr]

Progress so far!

Overall, hes going together much easier than the premium charge shot version of Saito, but he feels super fragile in comparison. A lot of stuff isnt hard clicking together but is instead just kinda sliding on... which while makes it easier, also makes me a little worried that pieces might come off easier than theyre meant to. Well find out later!

Bass.EXE model kit update!

His head is done! Objectively the easiest part of the model. Wish me luck chat.

Netto doodles and notes from my TechStar Adult AU... these aren't new I drew them yesterday I just didn't post them LMAO

I've felt so off and spacey for the last like 2 weeks and at this point and It's because I'm mentally juggling like 8 separate things right hahahaha man do I wish I can just chill out and draw Netto and Subaru that'd be so nice. Oh well, doodles be upon ye.

Not an official (or good) height chart, but heres the heights of Subaru and Netto in my TechStar Adult AU.

I dont have their shape language down 100%, but overall I wanted Subaru to look bulky but simple, almost tactical, while Netto looks slim but flowy, dramatic, and showy, but also unassuming. Subaru's outfit is a uniform, and is intended for identification, but Netto's outfit is generic and intentionally misdirecting- showcasing his perceived lack of strength and more academic or scholarly nature. Both are meant to be subversions of who they are as people- Subaru looks intimidating but is a big softie, while Netto looks simple, professional, and almost gentle while in reality he is a mad scientist with a flare for the dramatics. They're meant to compliment eachother too- Subaru's outfit is meant to be bottom heavy, with his large shorts and boots, and Netto's is top heavy, draping fabric hiding his form at the top before slendering down past his waist.

If you can't tell, I've thought about these two too much LMAOO
