I Think It's Funny When Robots In Fiction Are Just,,, Super Old And They Outlive Multiple Generations

scrap heap (computer country)

Okay I fixed all the old Deslotair posts so now you can ACTUALLY scroll through the #planet deslotair tag to find them. Shoutout to good blog organization and all that

Wooahh look another robot oc by yours truly. Shocking, I know.

This is 5TR1P W1R3, or just Wire for short, who is the sharpshooter and medic for @glacierruler and I's crew of space pirates!

Wire was originally made for a caretaking/nursing job, but grew to hate this role the longer they had to endure it, until they eventually ran away. To fully lean into this change, they removed most of their smooth, friendly plastic paneling to revel the mess of wiring and motors underneath, although they have kept some to protect more vital areas. Wire can only communicate through various beeps and trills, and the only person that can understand and translate for them is the engineer on board who is... just the sweetest and doesn't want to pass along half the shit they say. Trying their best to be a serious pirate amongst all the shenanigans. Big fan of getting to shoot things, not really enjoying the fixing people part.

Happy birthday to @glacierruler!!! I hope you have a great day, and enjoy the art :)

This is one of storm's ocs, Fig, who I love very dearly and was a blast to draw! You can find their character info here

One of two characters i will put through the wringer out if love: P.M.U or Pim is the autopilot that was originally stopping every mission they went on from going to shit. Now he’s kinda just chilling and wishing he could live on a fish farm with Mal

Intro!

Hey I'm Duck! (it's a nickname) I use they/them and ey/em pronouns, no preference but it does make me happy when people use the neos. I'm a big fan of all things sci-fi, surrealism, western, and supernatural. My biggest passion is writing, but I also like to draw, paint, and embroider!

This is my art/writing/oc/kinda just generally creative side-projects blog, stuff I feel like keeping separate from my main. If you do want to follow my main, it's @duck-in-a-spaceship (i have a theme going). I mostly post fandom stuff over there, but also just whatever else I feel like.

My main project right now is a worldbuilding thing called Deslotair! Just wrapped up the main character introductions

This will get more link-filled as we go on and I want to compile things, but right now it's gonna be pretty empty!

Okay then! Bumblebee!

Are you better at action, descriptions, or dialogue?

-g

Oh man descriptions all day everyday. They're so fun, and there's so much room for all that delicious symbolism and metaphor and pretty word choice.

Dialogue is also chill. Action is so goddamn hard, it always feels like a puzzle to find the right pacing and balance and word choice and interesting shit happening in a way that makes sense?? I know I can pull it off, but it requires a lot more thought than just letting descriptions or conversation flow.

i've been reading a lot of books about urban naturalism recently, and the one big thing they all talk about is how you HAVE to stop seeing nature as something that happens somewhere else. nature is not just charismatic megafauna and state parks and mountain ranges. nature is that abandoned lot that's growing native milkweed in it. nature is the murder of crows that lives in your block. nature is the moss growing on your roof and the dandelions growing in the sidewalk cracks and the song birds at your neighbor's birdfeeder. and you should care about it! you should notice it! that's YOUR nature!
