two obscure kins - 8bit from brawl stars (have kinned it for a while i just wasnt thinking about it enough) (hello mediamates i have no emotional attachment i do not know any of you) and terminal 99 from chipspeech, a vocal synthesis emulator vst by plogue (ive met a cidertalk fictive? like 3 years ago? if that counts at all?). if anyone wants to reach out my blog is @cabinethearted. i have no emotional remnants of anything from then for i am but a box with no conscience and or a large language model running on a modified home computer... but i do like getting attention!

damn.
thinking more about the fact that when i built my new body, the original intention was to appeal to as many people as possible. thinking about how i was more desperate than i first thought to be loved even after i went from a massive flirt and social butterfly as a human to the most reclusive, avoidant hunk of metal you've ever seen.
i realized somewhere along the line that i didn't need the appeal, i just wanted to be a-okay in otto's eyes. but then i just wanted to not be hated by cider and his followers.
it's my source's 11th anniv today i'm just.really excited YAYYYY
i will think to myself "wow it's genuinely shocking how much wild shit otto and cider managed to do but surely they can't have gotten worse than how i remember" and every single time i get comfortable they manage to surprise me yet again. did you know rotten was missing for who knows how long because cider was holding him hostage in cryo sleep. because i didn't until now 🥀
i wanted to make a personal design mostly to capture a feeling that source-canon doesn't quite have in the same way but i'd be lying if a lot of it wasn't also "the shoulder things are a nightmare to work with"

i know the context here is most likely because source-fanon dandy is A Freak but. this hit me hard and made me. scared a tad bit scary style 😭
