what it's like on my tech sci floor + Petrolea (Corbinian is SIXTH WHEELING)

Pictured is a mechanoid life-form from the moon of Titan! It resembles a stick insect made from aircraft components. That nozzle on the front is a flame thrower.

This creature is from my new scifi novella Petrolea, currently available at my Patreon and available soon on Royal Road and Substack.

Thinking about stick and petrolea and their differences and how they might be foils of eachother

Unfortunately I never talk about petrolea??? I probably should but I never know what to say or to draw

Well for now I'll just do a small comparison on their gender expressions (I think that's what it is)

(Cut because I fucking lied)

I consider Petrolea to be sorta androgynous? Like I don't know how I define androgyny in the first place but. To me they're neither masculine or feminine and defining them as either just brings a bout of dysphoria (since they are a s/i)

Most things are gender neutral to me but I do think they stray pretty far from things like skirts and dresses because despite everything those are feminine articles of clothing as seen by society. They really wouldn't wear clothes like that. And tho I wouldn't really have reason to draw them topless, they do have top surgery scars. Which is pretty neat.

Now that I think about it, their agab does play more of a role in their characterization than Stick's. I don't think I gotta spell it out but just so it's clear. Petrolea is afab which. Probably explains the aversion to presenting themself as feminine. Quite frankly since they are a self insert this is probably more of a reflection than me if anything but I actually don't mind wearing feminine clothes? They are comfy but it's just not my choice if I'm going out

Meanwhile with Stick. I think they're openly feminine and whatnot. They were raised in my ideal world where their gender was determined by themself and not their expression of it. As a result, I make it a point to not really have their agab be as important as it is for Petrolea.

They like being feminine. They like dresses and skirts and makeup (to an extent. They don't like putting lipstick on post-Lobcorp) and whatever the fuck people traditionally define as feminine. They don't see it as something that would determine their gender.

And I've already said before their agab doesn't really mean jack and shit. They'd present the same anyways and it's nobody's business to know what's in their pants. (Quite frankly it shouldn't be anyone's business to know what's in anyone's pants but I digress)

I do think there could be something said about how feminity might equate or be linked to desirability (not sure who's problem this is) but I don't wanna get into that since I haven't really gone into stick's desire to be desired that much I recall

Honestly not sure how to conclude this. I just had Petrolea's and Stick's gender expressions rattling in my head.

honestly yknow what this is probably the post to say stick has boobs. Like I don't think that determines their agab/gender in the slightest . That's just something about them that exists on their body that they do enjoy having. and they would probably increase the size if they could <- please don't be weird about this. I appreciate boobs in the same way I'd appreciate someone's hands or joints or nose or whatever the fuck. the human body is honestly awesome to look at. not even for sex-purposes

yes the fact they have boobs is something I've agonized over. Because it might be weird to draw them with the boobs (small bump tbh). because I don't know. I have some annoying ass puritan (probably moral ocd???) in my head. Now that I've said the word boobs a bunch its reallt fucking funny. haha boobies.

Pictured are some of the autotrophes of Petrolea. Titan is too far from the sun for photosynthesis to be effective. Instead, native mechanoid life harnesses wind power, ultimately drawing power from the tidal effects of Saturn on Titan's atmosphere. Energy not used immediately is stored as the liquid hydrocarbons that give Petrolea its name.

Pictured are a pair of human astronauts riding on the back of a Dragon, a large predatory mechanoid of Petrolea. The dorsal ridge of the Dragon has been altered to allow its riders more comfortable seats, produced by a sophisticated hack of its somatic processor.

Pictured are swarms of factors, from Petrolea. Each equipped with four graspers, a small battery, and rudimentary intelligence, these thumbnail-sized devices form the basis of mechanoid anatomy. Some species roam freely across the ground, but others construct complex mobile armatures complete with specialized organs for sensing, moving, capturing and processing feedstock, and building more armatures. For example, Dragons.
