Curate, connect, and discover
As an older model android you don't have any newfangled motors and lids for artificial eyes, nor do you even have a dedicated "face". No, you just have a screen.
Sure you can emote, display text, and even display websites and videogames on it, but it feels very stereotypically inhuman. Sometimes it feels alienating, seeing all of your peers get these upgrades and all the newer androids being more humanlike than ever can make you jealous.
But your boyfriend... Oh you know he loves you the way you are.
Behind closed doors, your boyfriend loves the display of pretty, swirling colors. One close look and he can't look away, his eyes locked to the steady spiral and glazing over.
Emotions were always hard for you as a machine, but this... A rush of what you can only assume is pride mixed with desire.
Pawing at your chassis, unable to look away from your old, outdated display. He whines and barks at your command, letting you touch and handle him however you like. "Such a good pet" you say, and his entire world seems to light up.
Maybe you don't need that upgrade. Maybe you don't even want it.
Unhinged OOC NSFT rant below the cut regarding smut/erotica/porn/whatever you call it
TLDR: Please send me slow burn romance smut that's robot x robot (or robot x human)
I'm Robotkin. I see myself within my headspace as a robot that looks kinda like a human. I feel inhuman, blah blah you get the gist, this is just for context.
It's so hard for me to find good robot/android anything sexual without their being like 10 other kinks or characters I'd preferably not see nude. Nothing inherently wrong with this! I'm not trying to yuck anyone's yum
But goddamn it's hard to just find robot x robot stuff or robot x human smut of my taste. And I know, I need to create the art I want to see. I'm working on writing like 3 things right now and I keep getting writers block but like. I dunno, I've just been getting a bit frustrated with myself with how much my tastes are changing while on HRT and how much I need to be REALLY into something for me to get off to it.
And also, I fucking love slow burn romance friends to lovers stories. Holy fuck those get me so goddamn good, but all the fics I can find that have themes I do like are way too quick to the point without buildup and/or small fics!
Typing this all out helped me chill out. It feels good to scream into the void and see some lights flickering back in understanding.
