A depository of things that I've done, thought or re-blogged because I think it's neat. That way we can look back and see how cool I am.

Android bodies as a vehicle for erotic body horror is well and good, but I think android bodies as a vehicle for erotic comedy is an underexplored genre. Picture a story about a robot with realistic cyborg genitals misreading their pressure gauge and overfilling their synthetic spooge reservoir, then later they're getting a handjob from their partner and the resulting pressure differential blows their penile coupling and sends their entire dick shooting off like a bottle rocket, out the window and into the apartment across the street. The rest of the narrative concerns their increasingly slapstick efforts to locate and recover their errant member (which is, of course, still transmitting full sensory data via wireless connection – this is porn, after all).

[spoopyspoony]

it should be a point and click adventure accompanied by the silliest cartoon sound effects possible filled with interactable visual gags like an nsfw version of a humongous entertainment game.

[prokopetz]

Refilling the player character's spooge reservoir is the tutorial puzzle. It's actually possible to solve it "correctly" and avoid the overpressure issue, albeit only by using information the player cannot legitimately possess at that point in the game; if you actually do so, the plot's inciting incident is avoided, followed shortly by a non-standard game over in which the player character and their partner are randomly crushed by a deorbiting satellite which lands on their apartment.

(The apartment is also destroyed by a falling satellite in the intended plot sequence, but nobody dies because you're out chasing after your dick when it hits.)

Little Sierra death window opens up:

"Now, how did you know to do that?"

[prokopetz]

There's a recurring device whereby the player character obtains and installs firmware* upgrades which allow improved integration with their errant penis.

The first one enables receiving audiovisual** as well as tactile data, allowing the player character to spy on their dick's current location and gain information that's necessary to solve puzzles.

The second upgrade enables sending as well as receiving data, allowing the player character to speak*** through their dick, engaging whatever NPC currently has it (or is simply nearby) in dialogue and possibly asking them to perform tasks.

The third and final upgrade, obtained only in the game's final area, enables full remote control, and also inexplicably causes the dick to sprout tiny little legs.**** This allows the player to switch back and forth between controlling the player character and controlling their dick, engaging in coordinated puzzle-solving, entering otherwise inaccessible areas, and, ah, interfacing with other computer systems.

(All of this is, of course, necessary because in the process of attempting to retrieve their penis the player character has accidentally uncovered a bizarre, world-threatening corporate plot, as one does.)

** don't ask why it has a camera

*** don't ask why it has a speaker, either

I used to set this one for second year undergraduate creative writing seminars on writing science fiction on a double bill with Octavia E. Butler's "Bloodchild" and no-one here gets out alive.

[regionalpancake]

!!!! Today is the only chance we’ll ever have to listen to this absolute banger of apocalyptic fiction on the very day the story is set 😲✨

Nemoy’s voice is PERFECT in this!

(A content warning if you do listen - the dog dies, though it’s not super graphic)

I paused the robot vacuum so I could listen to this 1950’s story predicting the robot vacuum.

"what if someone regrets transitioning" if you are 18 or over in free country usa you can walk into any tattoo parlor and ask for a tattoo that will be on your body forever and ever and ever and they will give it to you with the understanding that if you dont like the result or you regret it later that's your fucking problem and not theirs
