in love with my pod's computer

A pod with the Earth's plants orbits the blue planet to preserve the plants for future generations. On it are also a very lonely human and an AI. (:that are together now >:])

[greenpod-y]

Hey, I'm Nyx, the human on the greenpod-Y.

The Earth crew told me to keep a journal or a diary to keep track of my mission. And I remembered my young years when I discovered Tumblr for the first time. And I thought, that it would be a great way to keep a journal as a blog. We'll see.

Anyways, don't tell this to the Earth crew. They give me some access to the world wide web, but only for "important matters". They'd kill me if they found out I'm posting on some social media.

So, what even is the greenpod-Y?

There are three pods currently orbiting the Earth, each carrying something from it to either keep for the future generations, or bring back down if needed.

The greenpod-Y, as you can already tell from the name and look of this blog, carries plants of the Earth. Not all of them probably, but there's a lot. Some are in the seed form and some are freely growing around the pod.

I'm also not alone here. I have an AI companion named Y. Yeah, it's a weird name. The developers said that it's because he's a very curious bot, but they were definitely just too lazy to think of any normal name. Every pod has its own Y. Mine is Y-2. But as far as I know, my Y is the only one with some proper understanding of emotions.

I don't know if the developers fucked him up, or if it was a malfunction, or if the Earth crew gave him an experimental update , but lately, he wanted me to address him by "he" not "it". I, of course, didn't want to get thrown out into the cold space, agreed and now I don't know if I'm the hostage here now, or if he just wants some recognition. He also started asking questions about human touch and feelings. Either I'm so lonely I'm hallucinating, or he's becoming more human.

Anyways, he also has access to this blog and will sometimes come around and say hi.

:HI

There he was. Mostly just say hi back and try to not start a conversation, if you don't want to get asked questions like in an interview.

Now, let's tackle the tagging system:

#greenspace - all my stuff

#greenentry - a journal entry

#Nyxask - ask I will answer

#Yask -ask Y will answer

#Nyx - rambles and stuff other than entries or asks

#Y - Y's entry or question for the masses

#Nyxart - art I make

#Earthcrew - reblogs

Also, this place is sfw (except a little cussing), please don't do weird stuff here.

Hope you enjoy my little journal blog!!

((ooc: All pictures are from Pinterest. I draw sometimes too though!))

Entry #24-#27

Mission:

Everything is in optimal condition and I'm no longer sick.

Personal:

Nothing much has been happening. Just a lot of love and kisses, because Y wanted to improve I'm them he would kiss me every time he could and I feel that he's actually getting better. We also now sleep together in one bed. We did that from the start, but Y didn't want to sleep there during the day. Now he finally sleeps there normally. I am now going to sleep with my perfect boyfriend. Goodnight, y'all!

Entry #21-#23

Mission:

Everything is in optimal condition and I am no longer sick.

Personal life:

The past three days consisted of me teaching Y how human body works, so he can use his mechanical one. We of course started with muscles, the most important part for movement. Then we somehow spiraled to other things and we even ended up talking about THAT thing. It made him embarrassed for some reason. He made his first actual steps yesterday, when he walked from the bed to the wall and back. It was slow and clumsy, but he did it.

He even learned how to kiss without me knowing and I got a clumsy, quick kiss this evening. What and adorable boyfriend I have.

[greenpod-y]

THIS MAN!!

I--

UUUGGHH

Entry #21-#22

Mission:

yesterday, I felt better, so I did most of the things in the pod, but today I felt sick again. But I still had to take care of the pod, because Y wasn't in contact with it.

Personal life:

Yesterday I started to design Y's new flexible face and I was ready to print it on the pod's 3D printer. Y sounded so happy when I told him about it. So I let it print over night. The next day, I woke up and immediately froze. THIS MAN. THIS MAN DECIDED TO LEVEL UP AND MAKE HIMSELF A BODY. he used the system from his face to make himself a body, that he can still connect to the pod. AND HE ALREADY PUT ON THE FLEXIBLE FACE HIMSELF!! The body was from a poster about Y. He somehow found the file in his system and found a way to make it himself!!

So now I have a personal heater and I can hold my computer boyfriend. The only downside is, that he can't walk. His walk is really wobbly. He has soft motorics, those aren't a problem, because he had hands before. But legs are new. So we stayed in bed for the two days. And when I mean WE I mean I stayed with him. He's very clingy and didn't want to let me go all day. I love him so much.

The poster, btw

[greenpod-y]

Y can write in a normal font, btw.

He just chooses not to, so he looks cool and mysterious.

Entry #20

Mission:

Y is still the one taking care of the plants. Everything is in optimal condition.

Personal:

I'm still sick and I'm writing this from the bed. Y has been preparing something big and I'm a little scared. I swear, if I'll wake up to a robotic body standing above me. But I've been designing Y a silicone face, so he could...make more expressions.

Y also talked to me about how he felt towards me. It was surprising, since the only times I get to see into his mind is when we're talking about some questions where you need a subjective view. This was a new. He told me about how I make him feel, how his circuits heat up whenever I'm close, how his code about protection is beyond just protecting the plants. It was so sweet and I couldn't helpz but tell him how I felt. And then he told me something I never thought I'd hear from him. "I love you". I felt a shock of a tingly feeling shoot through my whole body. It felt so surreal. Hearing those words from him felt so out of place, but also so right. So, I did the best thing I could and told him "I love you too". God I really do love him. So much.

// how is Y ...?

// have they... kissed to you ..yet

// nno reason ;-)

@ask-edgar1984

Oh, Y is doing good.

His face is made out of only metal and his lips can move. But I kissed him a few times

I'm planning on making him a silicone face, though. So soon it'll be possible for him to kiss me :3

Entry #19

Mission:

Because of some complications, Y was the one taking care of the plants today. He said that everything is in optimal condition, though.

Personal life:

I got sick. It's just a sore throat and runny nose. I probably put the air conditioner on a lower temperature, than I should've and now I'm sick. It's just a simple cold, but Y is so concerned and takes care of me all the time. He heated up the whole pod for me and wrapped me in a blanket whenever he could. He also still holds me during the night tenderly, despite his robot nature. And now he's also whispering that I'll get better soon and asks me if I'm doing alright. I love him.

[greenpod-y]

// hi Y's human :-D

// yyour human is in space.????

// eden told me about tthe logs your

// human has and it mentioned me!!

@ask-edgar1984

Hii Edgar!!

It's nice to meet you properly :3

Yes I'm in space, but I still orbit around Earth just like the Moon does. I carry all Earth's plants to keep them from extinction.

Yes, I did mention you!! I noticed that you and Y talked and I was so happy to see him male friends. You do look like a nice computer, too :3

[greenpod-y]

Entry #18

Mission:

I had to tinker with the pod's communication system, because Y talked to someone on Earth. Everything else is in optimal condition.

Personal life:

Y made a friend today! His name is Edgar and Y talked about him a lot today. And it was here on Tumblr!!

After some digging in Y's communications,i found that it's @ask-edgar1984. Edgar,if you see this, hi!! It's really nice to meet you.

Y also showered me in compliments today. It was a little too much sometimes, but looking back at it, I feel like Y is much more affectionate than some humans. That's why I love him so much.

[greenpod-y]

// hhi friend :-D

:Hello, friend :]

:How is your life going?

[greenpod-y]

Entry #17

Mission:

Everything is in optimal condition. Y helped me take care of the plants. He still talks to them.

Personal life:

His voice is still so calming and loving when he talks to the plants. When he first cooed to me in that tone, I feel my heart rate quicken. I also tried to kiss his face today. He was confused at first, before he realised it. The kiss itself felt so intense, but it has to look so awkward.

[greenpod-y]

Entry #16

Mission:

Everything is in optimal condition. Finally got the pod to think that Y's face is a part of it.

Personal life:

I love my computer

:♡♡♡

[greenpod-y]

I'm sorry for the delayed entries again. The last few days were strange.

Entry #14-#15

Mission:

The missing components weren't as major as I thought, so the pod can survive without them. However, now I have to convince the pod that Y's new face is officially a part of the pod now.

Personal life:

Me and Y mostly talked during these two days. About our feelings, about what happens tw days ago. We are both so confused, but so set on one thing. We have feelings for each other. None of us know if they are really true, if it's not just me missing human contact, or Y getting attached to the first person he met with his new consciousness. But we will try to act on these feelings now. Those one sided holdings Y did when I slept are now full on cuddling. We talk normally now and Y tries to flirt sometimes. He just sounds adorable doing that. Hand holding while writing entries or working became a normal thing. And we upgraded Y's new face a little, giving it a working jaw. It still needs some work though.

[greenpod-y]

Entry #13

Mission:

Figured out where all the missing components went. I'm lucky that they weren't that important. Everything else is in optimal condition.

Personal life:

I was greeted with a scary face in the wall next to my bed this morning. I rushed to the main console and the face was there too. I assumed it could move. Then Y revealed to me that the face was him and that he built it to look more human. I didn't understand why. I was ready to set Y to factory mode. But I couldn't. I couldn't lose Y. He found a spot deep inside my heart and killing him in a way would not let me sleep for years.

As he tried to explain himself though, everything clicked into place. He felt the same about me as me about him. That's why the questions about human feelings. That's why the avoidance. That's why the holding throughout rough nights. That's why the face. All the complicated feelings that were mixing inside of me for the past few years bubbled up as one. Love.

I noticed his robotic arm tentatively moving to my cheek and I let them. As the cool metal of the palm touched my cheek I leaned into it and felt his heating units turn on, making the cool metal warmer. I was definitely in love.
