Today’s robot goth icon is:

Rinzler from Tron Legacy!

Here are my reasons:

1. He’s literally a computer program, putting the “robot” in robot goth

2. Mostly non verbal

3. Detail oriented enough to notice the first drop of Sam’s blood

4. Programmed to be perfect despite it going against his best interests

5. He had his body and mind gutted and replaced to be an efficient obedient machine—and he’s the best at it

6. I start to (inaudibly and for a split second) growl and prickle when overstimulated and on edge too.

7. Autistic!Rinzler headcannons have been a thing since Tron: Legacy came out

It’s important to not feel guilty about calling off of work

All machinery, no matter how used to work and well oiled, will need maintenance and will fall apart if something’s wrong.

In this household, I’m the only machine that’s allowed to do any type of thinking.

My brain is a high tech processor. It’s buggy, for sure but it is one of a kind and it needs constant troubleshooting, updates, and most importantly, it needs practice and constant runtime.

I cannot outsource my computing to another machine. Sure, it would be easier, but between me and ChatGPT I’m the only one that passed the Turing test. Sure, I only got a C, but it’s better than any generative AI.

We all need to use our own processors. The human brain is a more capable and creative machine than any generative AI. We cannot become complacent with outsourcing our internal computing.

When I was in high school I was on the robotics team for like two years. They made a website/blog and had a “meet the team section” with photos of the members and a little blurb about them, including their interests. When it was done and I went to go check out my page, at the end my paragraph said: “Her interests are: we don’t know! She never tells us about them.”

??? I wore band T-shirts every single day why didn’t they just observe me for like 2 seconds?? Or you know ASK me what I like???

Anyways that’s the day I realized how withdrawn I really am
