The more I write Deslotair stuff, the more I inevitably have to figure out things like themes. Robot media is cool to me in large part because it can get into some really cool themes, and how really every story about robots is still a story about humanity, in some way. Really every story is about humanity, in some way.

And when writing robots, the most obvious question to ask is "What makes us human? When you strip so much away, is what remains a person?" Which is a GOOD question that so many people have done VERY good things with, but I think the main question I would like to answer is:

"In a world where robots exist in such a capacity, why is humanity still the deciding factor?"

Why are we asking the initial question? Who stands to gain from drawing the lines in the sand? And what does that say about society today, about who gets dehumanized and who gets to stay? What happens to them?!

An illustration I did a while back. Hope you like it 😊

kyhuine southern (dry valley group) crop farmers in a field of "siesu". Which are basically mold balls that can be used like cotton.

The post will be updated with additional text later about domesticated siesu and its usages.

WIP of a Deslotair comic I'm working on!

"Leaving Deslocar? What, the whole fucking planet? Ha, yeah, as if. Listen, this place'll chew ya up and spit ya out, sure, but I wouldn't leave if you were givin' out first class tickets to the stars."

Alonze (he/she/they), a former bandit, now fresh out of jail, with nowhere else to go.

Info:

Was the last to join the scavenging group, and acts as hired guns basically, protecting the group from rivals and bandits

Desmona (one of the younger members of the crew) didn't like her at first because she can be kind of... a lot

And since Desmona didn't like him, Glass didn't either

Also by the time Alonze joins, he's the only one that doesn't know sign and therefore can't communicate with Glass, which doesn't help their relationship

Eventually they both warm up to her

Used to know Sprocket, which is how they nail the bodyguard job so easily

The two of them used to be part of a crew of bandits a while back, but after Sprocket- well after Alonze got arrested, it was a while before they saw each other again

She used to have two of those old colt-inspired pistols, but Sprocket was only able to hang onto one for her

Shoot first, ask questions later kinda gal

They're very quick to anger, and very impulsive

This makes him good at thinking on his feet, and good in high-pressure situations, but not very good at making a plan and carrying it through

This drives Sprocket insane

An excellent shot, cares very deeply for their weapons

Cares deeply for a lot of things, really

He's very passionate, and opinionated, has a stance on anything and everything and will die on any hill

Apathy???? never heard of her
