Hey there! Here's this little thing that turned into a big thing because I really want to post some writing but I always get hit with a roadblock whenever I try to work on one of my WIPs 🤣 So why not create something new!... for like the 15th time (literally) 👀🤣 LOL If you're seeing this then that means we dodged the WIP graveyard collection this time! 🤣 Anywayssss enjoy lol XD
"Wow, Ren! This prototype looks so amazing! Is this what you've been spending all your time on?"
"Yup. Just oneeee moreeee screw annnnd--" As he tightened the last screw, the robot made a few beeping sounds and immediately lit up with life. They both cheered with excitement as the robot immediately began to clumsily move around the room, curiosity at its peak as it began scanning whatever objects it could get it's hands on.
"I can't believe it! You've actually done it Ren!" His best friend Koji erupted, unable to contain himself as he lifted one of the robots arms and examined its face. "... It's almost freaky how life-like this thing is."
"We both did it, Koji. You helped a lot too." The roboticist exhaustedly muttered, nearly throwing himself into his chair and watching the robot curiously scan all of Koji's features.
"Well you've gotta name this thing! It's too cool to just be called prototype!"
"Hmm... PTBot A!" Ren called, having the robot make a beeping sound and quickly rush over to him. "Register new name... Ava. Ava, the Advanced Versatile Assistant."
The robot froze for a moment, processing the request before saying. "Hello. I am Ava, the Advanced Versatile Assistant, but you may call me Ava."
"Oooh, I like it! Sounds... Cute and techy... I guess? What can she do?"
"Well as of right now, learn. Her processor is still trying to finish downloading all of her basic functions and knowledge, but once that finishes, I'll start importing her advanced coding and she should be able to do just about everything we can and more. Fingers crossed."
His best friend leaned against the wall in awe, still surprised at the artificial robot roaming around the room. Although her movements were slightly choppy and robotic, she seemed to be functioning on her own accord, grabbing a variety of objects and curiously moving them around and identifying them.
"I can only imagine how she'll look like once the downloads are finished." Koji muttered.
"If all goes well, her movements should smoothen out and her biocomponents would be in more of a working order. Faster processing and all that." Ren rubbed his eyes and yawned, looking at his watch to check the time.
"Stop saying 'if', bro. You know it's gonna work! I mean just look at how great she is already!"
"... We'll see. But thanks, Koji." He mumbled through another exhausted yawn, "It's like 6 in the morning dude, I need to sleep. I know you've had some good rest but I can't be your only source of entertainment all day."
"Oh, ha-ha, very funny. You think that just because you made a bomb ass robot you're hot shit now? I knew you in middle school, you know. Don't forget that." Koji teased.
"... Ava, escort the crews dead weight out of my lab and to his office, please."
"Understood." Ava blandly responded, approaching Koji and gesturing towards the door. "Dead weight, if you could please exit the quarters, your services are no longer needed."
"Stop it, dude! She's going to remember that and actually think that's true about me!"
"That's the point." Ren said through a soft chuckle as he watched Ava guide him out of the room.
"Don't listen to him, Ava! He's lying! I'm technically your co-creator! He's the dead weight, not me!"
"I'm sorry that you feel that way, dead weight. According to my records, your office is down this hall. Allow me to escort you."
"Urrgh, finneeee."
Ren released another soft chuckle as he closed the lab door, hearing their voices disappear down the hallway.
He was so glad that Koji had so much confidence in his work, but he couldn't say the same about himself. He just hoped that he built Ava properly and that everything would all work out just as he planned for it to. Only time would tell. Ren sighed, removing his lab coat and pressed the blue button on his wall, revealing a hidden temporary bedroom. Boy was he tired; 8 months of nonstop working on Ava took a lot out of him, but it was well worth it. He'd do it all over again if he needed to.
The man hung his lab coat on the railing above his bed and immediately plopped onto the firm mattress, grunting with a little discomfort. He couldn't complain though; He was super tired and just grateful he even had somewhere to lay at the moment. Before he could attempt to close his eyes, two soft knocks against his lab door are heard, followed by Ava's voice.
"May I come in?"
"Enter, Ava."
The robot obliged, entering the room and immediately scanning her creator laying on the mattress. She looked around his temporary bedroom for a moment before speaking.
"The dead weight has been escorted into his office."
"Thanks Ava... You don't have to call him that anymore. His name is Koji." Ren lightheartedly chuckled again.
"... Okay Ren, current data has been corrected to Koji... If you don't mind, might I ask what is so humorous?" Ava innocently asked, eyes locked onto Ren as his chuckles abruptly stopped once she asked the question.
"... I'll explain it to you another time." He exhaustedly muttered, already feeling his brain fog up from just thinking about explaining it to her. After an intense moment, Ava dejectedly nodded in understanding and began looking at all the pictures he had on his shelves in order to get some more information about her creator. "... Ava, I'm very tired and need to sleep. Turn off the lights, please."
"Of course, Ren. I'll do that for you right away." She gave her automated response, and quickly turned off all the lights in his lab, watching as he flipped sides and pulled his blanket over his head. "... What would you like me to do in the meantime, Ren?" She blandly asked, staring at the lump underneath the blanket.
"I don't know- keep scanning stuff in the lab or something." He softly mumbled, voice barely audible through both the blanket and his exhaustion.
"I've already scanned and identified all 374 objects in your lab, Ren. What else would you like for me to do?"
"... Just... do whatever, I don't care. Let me sleep." He sighed, irritably shifting underneath the blankets. "If anyone tries to come in, tell them to come back next week."
"Understood Ren." She affirmed, turning to leave the bedroom. Before she completely walked away, she froze and turned back to her creator. "Ren...?"
"... What is it now, Ava?"
"... Is it true that you hated artificial intelligence and robotics in middle school?" She inquired, hearing Ren sigh from the mattress.
"... Ava, register Koji's name to Dead Weight again, please." She froze for a moment before confirming the successful change. "And to answer your question... Yes, it's true, but that was over 15 years ago. I was a stupid kid."
"... Okay. Goodnight, Ren."
"Goodnight, Ava."
The sunlight peering in from underneath the closed blinds rudely awakens the once sleeping robotics engineer. He flops the blanket all the way to the other side of his bed and gives a big yawn to shake off all the sleep, almost sounding like a lions roar. A cough escapes him as his throat is dry and a little itchy from all the sleep.
"Good afternoon, Ren. I hope you slept well." Ava approaches his bedside with a smile and a glass of water, which surprises the roboticist. He almost forgot about Ava and her completion; It wasn't a dream, and her downloads must've progressed, seeing how she was able to smile now and read his discomfort by grabbing him some water.
"Thank you." He muttered dryly, immediately drinking the water down. "Ava, what is today's date please?"
"Today is Friday, September 8th. Current time is 4:27pm." She recited, grabbing the empty glass and placing it in the sink. It's already Friday? But it was just Wednesday! "You were sleeping for quite a while, so I took it upon myself to tidy up your lab. I hope you don't mind, given your last command was to 'do whatever, I don't care.'"
"... That was very thoughtful of you, Ava. Thanks." Ren applauded her through a few dry coughs, still finding it difficult to speak for long without the itchiness returning at the back of his throat.
"Would you like another glass of water?" Ava offered, noting his continued discomfort.
"No, thank you." The roboticist grabbed his lab coat from above his bed and pressed the button, hiding his bedroom once again and headed into his restroom to freshen himself up.
"I would like to inform you that 30 associates stopped by your lab while you were sleeping, including dead weight." Ava announced from the outside of the door, over the sound of splashing water. "A lot of them wanted to congratulate you for completing me." She said a little louder this time, smiling when Ren opened the restroom door and halted in shock from seeing her standing so close to the door. "I told them to come back next week, just like you asked."
"Thank you, Ava. Hey... are you able to cook by chance? I'm not sure how far along the first stage of downloads are..." Ava's face lit up at the asking of that question.
"Certainly, Ren! The download of Phase 1 is currently at 67%. Please let me know what you would like to eat and I would be happy to make it for you." Ren stood in thought for a moment, feeling uneasy with how fast the download speed was going. I mean it was a lot of data to download, but at the same time... This is only Phase 1... If it's taking this long, then Phase 2 might-- "Please do not trouble yourself, I am confident that I can prepare any dish that you would like. My memory bank holds over 30,000 recipes from around the world. So please..." She stated, attempting to reassure Ren and pull him out of his own thoughts.
"Well alright then, Ava. You've won me over. I'm a simple man so I just want an omelet over sweet rice. I should already have those ingredients in my cabinets." He mused, finding it interesting how much Ava was trying to read him.
"Yes, you have enough ingredients in your possession to make 132 of the 30,000 recipes stored in my memory bank. You should look into getting more groceries, Ren."
"I don't live here so it's fine." He chuckled, grabbing a seat at his office desk and watching Ava begin to prep his meal. She was moving more like a human now; she even hummed softly as she cooked, which made him feel a little warm on the inside, oddly enough. "Ava, why are you humming?" Ren questioned, curiously. If that was the one thing they had in common, they were both curious creatures. She paused for a moment for what Ren thought was to process the question and shortly resumed her cooking.
"According to my records, humming reduces stress. Does it bother you Ren? I will stop."
"No-no, it doesn't. I was just wondering. Please, continue..." He muttered, intrigued. "Sarabande and Polka... Great choice."
"Yes, I read that it's your favorite." She cheerfully chimed, plating the side of sweet rice. "I hummed it to you while you were sleeping. You kept tossing and turning so I thought it would help."
"How thoughtful of you, Ava." Ren acknowledged, unsure of how to feel with that information. "... Maybe that's the reason why I slept for so long."
Surprisingly, Ava gives a chuckle to the latter statement as she plated the omelet on top of the sweet rice and handed him the plate. Ren looks up at her, shocked by her giggle only to find her smiling and glaring down at him, gesturing towards the plate. "Please enjoy, Ren. I will go and clean up."
The roboticist nodded and thanked her as he looked at the beautiful golden omelet resting on top of the fluffy bed of rice. He had to admit... it did look really good. Probably better than anything he ever made. But then again, he wasn't a chef but even so, this was still remarkable for a robot that was only a day old. Ren immediately took a bite out of the omelet and smiled, both surprised and grateful at how good the food was.
"This is amazing, Ava. I couldn't be happier." He openly admitted, earning a huge smile from his robot.
"I am pleased to have served you!" She announced with a bow, face glowing with honor.
The food was hitting the spot; after sleeping for a day and a half, his body was nearly eating itself. Another hour of that and he probably would've been a pile of bones. Had Ava not been there, he probably wouldn't have had the energy to even make this meal. After a few minutes of scarfing down the plate of food, he felt a little bit recovered and energized. He handed Ava the empty dish, which she gratefully accepted and began to wash.
"What's on the agenda today, Ren?" She asked, still washing out the dishes.
"I'm not sure..." He absently replied, deep in thought. "I'll probably chat with a few people and head home. Afterall, you are my biggest achievement at the moment. I'll probably look after you and make sure all of your systems are functioning properly. Probably monitor all the downloads and keep a close eye on how you're operating for--" He paused for a moment, taken aback by the prickling sensation he feels quickly forming in the depths of his nostrils. It only takes one dry sniff to ignite the prickling into a full fledged wild fire as it forces his shoulders to rise upward from the abrupt inhale and jerk forwards with a harsh sneeze.
"Hih... H'ESSCH!" It was a snappy and a little wet sneeze, seeing how it felt like his nostrils were drooling over the burning sensation pulsing deep in his nostrils. His robot companion immediately swiveled a 180 towards the location of the sound, interest piqued and attention grabbed. She curiously watched as he rubbed at his nose and quickly searched around for something but appeared to have no luck. "A-Ava..." He desperately stuttered out, eyes closing once again from the distracting tickle. She approached him with haste, audio censors listening for his voice command. "I n-need ahh... a-HIH'EGSHHhn...!! A dissue, blease." She was frozen for a second, trying to process and compute the last command given by her creator.
"I do not understand. What is... 'a dissue'?" Ava innocently asked, attempting to repeat his audibly congested plea for a tissue in her query and trying to understand.
"A tdissue!" Ren tried to repeat through his cupped hand, a little louder this time, hoping to sound a little clearer, but he's sure he failed as he could still see the confusion on her face.
"I'm sorry, Ren. I still do not understand your request, but I see that you are cupping your nose. Perhaps you need a tissue?" He gratefully nodded his head, watching her go into the restroom and grab the tissue box. Once she returned, he eagerly blew his nose, releasing a few small gurgling nose blows into the tissues. "I apologize for the miscommunication. I should've known that's what you were asking for sooner."
"That's okay." He breathily mumbled, still massaging his nose with the tissues. "I just didn't know you moved the tissues either, but it's fine."
"Hm." She folded her arms and tapped her cheek in thought for a moment. "Were those sneezes, Ren?"
"... Yes. Why do you ask?"
"Bless you, Ren. I will be prepared next time. Thank you." She muttered, grabbing a handful of tissues and shoving them into her front pocket.
"N-no that's not necessary! You don't have to do that." He sheepishly replied, but Ava had already returned back to cleaning the dishes and was already humming again. "... Once you're finished cleaning those dishes, we can head out. How does that sound?"
"That sounds great, Ren." Ava cheered as she placed the last dish onto the countertop.
--
"Ava, lock the door please." Ren muttered, still trying to fit all of his modems and drives into his bag.
"Of course." She affirmed, grinning as she locked the door and returned to her creator. "Would you like for me to carry your bag for you, Ren?"
"Sure, thank you." The roboticist agreed, zipping up one last zipper to his bag before seeing the shoes of Koji appear directly in front of him.
"There he is!" Koji announced, looking his best friend up and down. "I would've thought you died had I not known who you are." He chuckled.
"Shut up, I was tired okay? Like, really tired." Ren muttered with a chuckle, placing his bag onto Ava.
"Guess that explains why you're making a girl carry your bag for you? Not a good look man."
"Hey, she offered!" Ren erupted defensively, coughing afterwards from the sudden change in volume of his voice.
"Everything is fine, dead weight. Please do not concern yourself with our affairs." She stated blandly, looking to Ren shortly after to make sure he was okay.
"Hey, I told you I'm not dead weight around here! Why won't you listen to me!" He sounded more like he was whining and begging Ava at this point but she wasn't budging.
"Hey, if you stumble across any crew members, tell them we said thanks for all of the congratulations. It means a lot."
"For sure, dude. Don't worry. How's Ava's progress coming along? It looks like she's matured a lot since Wednesday."
"Everything's going well so far. My only concern is that thehh-hih..." Ava glares at her creator and notices his flaring nostrils and immediately begins to dig into her pocket for the tissues that she grabbed earlier. Another faint hitch escapes him but before he can double over with the sneeze, Ava shoves a handful of tissues into his hands. "Heh--EDSSCHh!!" He blinks a few times, surprised by the whole ordeal, but before he can even say anything--"Heh'ESCHHiih!!"-- The next sneeze tears right out of him and is buried into the handful of tissues.
"Woah, bless you dude! That whole thing was so smooth. It almost looked like this has happened before."
"T-thagks... She saihh... S-she-hihh'EGDTSHH!!!" He can't even speak his sentence as the third sneeze cuts him off and he's sent back into the handful of tissues.
"Bless you, Ren. I told you that I would be prepared for next time."
"Yes, that." He exhaustedly agreed, gurgling into the handful of tissues a few times.
"Holy shit! I guess Ava really is Ava-ing!" Koji humored, watching Ava take his soiled tissues and throw them into the trashcan.
"I just hope the download finishes soon. She's still only on Phase 1."
"Hey, what'd I tell you about stressin' so much? Ava, you better keep my man in line!" Ava only gave him in a confused look in return. "I'm sure it'll all work out. Just believe, man!"
"... You're right. I'll see you around. Gonna go home and take my mind off things for now, I guess." He muttered, scratching his head and starting for the door.
"Woah, hey! We need to celebrate your big achievement!" Koji exclaimed, darting in front of him to stop him. "You can't go home yet! Let's go to the bar or get something to eat!"
"Nah, no thanks. I just ate and I'm honestly just not feelin' it today, sorry."
"Alright, don't worry about it. Text me later bro! And congrats again!"
After that, Koji left them to return to his office and the two began to silently walk outside towards his car. Ava seemed enlightened at the view of nature in front of the lab. It was refreshing for Ren to see her face light up at the smallest things he and everyone probably took for granted.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" The roboticist muttered as he placed his bag into the vehicle.
"Very. It's one thing to see it as an imprinted image, but another to see it up close in realtime." She said as she touched the dirt and began analyzing it. "If only you could see all of the tiny organisms living inside just this one clump of dirt!" She grabbed a fist full of dirt and began squishing it in the palm of her hand, looking so fascinated and entertained. She would've been completely intranced had Ren not coughed into the crook of his elbow. "Oh! I'm sorry, did I keep you waiting?" She exclaimed after noticing Ren standing by the open car door watching her.
"No-no, not at all." He barely managed to say through a few more chesty coughs, which earned a mildly concerned look from Ava. "I don't mind waiting. This is your first moment outside, so don't let me ruin it." He humored.
"Thank you, Ren. We can go now. I know your body must be worn." She couldn't help but smile at what she perceived as selflessness from her creator as she was helped into the vehicle. "... Ren?"
"Yes, Ava?"
"... I'm glad you turned down dead weight's offer." She muttered softly into the window, almost soft enough to not be heard, which earned a curious look from Ren.
"Why is that?" He lightly coughed to himself after cranking the car on and exiting the parking lot.
"I don't like dead weight." The way she said that line made Ren do a double take to look at her and make sure she was still a robot girl. It sounded a bit too human-like. "But also because we will have more time to spend together. More time for me to learn from you."
"... Well, Ava, I don't want you to think that I'm the only person you can learn from. There's so much for you to learn outside of just me. I built you to be versatile. Eventually, you'll be surrounded by all sorts of amazing people that you'll learn a lot from. Including dead weight Koji." She doesn't respond, keeping her expression blank and unreadable. "... But please, don't dismiss Koji yet. He's actually a great guy once you get to know him a little better." He mutters to break the silence. "Infact, he was the one that got me back into robotics those years ago. Without him, we wouldn't even be here right now."
"... Okay. You're the best teacher, Ren."
--
"What a lovely house, Ren!" She exclaimed, scanning the entire room around her.
"I know, it's almost like I programmed you to say that." He humored to himself as he locked the door and kicked his shoes off. "I haven't been here in about a month so please excuse the mess." He stopped to wonder for a moment, finding it interesting that he was actually starting to talk to Ava as if she were a real human being. Why would a robot care about a mess or anything like that? He sighed and grabbed his head with slight confusion on what to even think anymore. "Anyway, just go ahead and make yourself at home or whatever. I'm going to take a quick shower."
"Okay, Ren!" She exclaimed, still scanning all of his belongings like a child opening presents on Christmas morning.
She felt like she hit a gold mine with all of his belongings scattered about the home. Everywhere she looked, there were new traces of his life and character; his lab was just a sneak peak of the person that was Ren Tokayama. He had many diplomas, awards and ribbons hanging on all of his living room walls. Plenty of framed group photos of him and what appeared to be his crewmates winning awards for previous machines and gadgets they built. It really was like she had a VIP pass to the Ren museum. She decides to utilize this time to tidy up his house, or atleast get started, while he's in the shower, scanning every item she touched while she cleaned.
A few moments later, she hears the bedroom door open and sees Ren enter the room with a fluffy robe on, still drying his hair with a towel and yawning briefly. His yawn is cut short as he jumps in surprise at the sight of Ava, almost forgetting that she was inside of his house.
"Oh, you startled me, Ava." Ren says, hand over his heart in shock.
"Welcome back, Ren. I didn't mean to startle you. hope that you are feeling refreshed." Ava happily chimed, placing a book and fresh hot tea onto the table for her creator. "I've prepared your favorite book and some green tea to help you relax and sooth your irritated throat."
"I appreciate it, Ava. How did you come to the conclusion that this was my favorite book?"
"I looked through all of your bookcases while you were in the shower, and this book had the most of your fingerprints on it and seemed to have the most usage... Was I incorrect?"
"No, you were correct, but... You could've just asked me what my favorite book was. I didn't want you to go through all the trouble."
"It's no trouble." She chimed, "I enjoyed it. I felt like... I was going on an adventure." Ren furrowed a confused brow, but decides not to say anything and takes a sip of the tea after putting on his reading glasses. It did feel nice against his itchy throat though, that was for sure. He couldn't help but go back for a second sip.
"How are you functioning, Ava? Status check." The roboticist questioned as he flipped open his book.
"All systems are online and functioning, Ren. Battery percentage is at 72%, with 3.25 days of runtime remaining. Filters are moderately clear. Internal temperatures are neutral." She recited, almost in a dismissive tone.
"Good, thank you. Be sure to let me know if anything happens with any of your systems." He commanded, almost like a protective father.
"Of course, Ren."
Every now and then, Ren peered up from his book only to catch Ava staring at him from across the table, fingers overlapping each other as if she were patiently waiting for something. He tried to ignore her, but it was becoming increasingly difficult as her cold, unmoving stare was beginning to burn a hole into the middle of his forehead. The roboticist snuffled thickly, wiping the underside of his nose and instantly furrowed a confused brow once Ava's eyes went blank like they usually did when she was processing information.
"Umm, Ava?"
"Yes, Ren?" She replied shortly after, pink eyes staring directly into his soft brown orbs, unblinking.
"Why are you staring at me?" The roboticist asked, feeling a bit uneasy with the unbroken staring she had been doing for the past 20 minutes.
"According to my records, you will be sneezing soon, and whenever that happens, I will be ready to assist you."
"That's nonsense, Ava." Ren said through a soft chuckle, with a bit of surprise in his voice from the reasoning. "And just where did you gather that data from, missy?" He humored.
"Research." She replied, simply, borderline pouting, "And studying you, Ren."
"Fascinating." He muttered to himself in thought, "Well tell me, Ava, what data have you gathered about me that will tell you when I'm going to sneeze, hm? Humor me." Ava seemed to light up at the curiosity of her creator and smiled when he casually removed his reading glasses and sat his book down onto the table. "You have my attention."
"I'm glad you asked, Ren. Based off of my observations, firstly, your nose begins to vaguely twitch ever so slightly, indicating a soft irritation. It's very subtle and slight to the human eye, but my visual processors allow me to detect this microscopic movement. To you, I believe it would only feel like a mild discomfort, or perhaps a very faint tingling?" She was speaking almost as if she were unveiling a master plan or exposing an enemy mastermind of some sort; Ren almost bats an eye at how passionate she was about the subject. It seemed like she had something to prove. "After a while, depending on the dust levels in the area, the irritation begins to grow over time into the tickling or burning sensation that you start to tangibly feel, which might make you start to rub at your nose or sniff a little bit."
"Hmm, okay, fairly normal assessments for the most part. Go on." The roboticist muttered in a manner that indicated he was listening through a brief cough into a closed fist.
"At this point, I'm aware that you have about a 92% chance of sneezing due to your underlying illness."
"Underlying illness??? Wait, what?"
"Yes," she stated matter-of-factly with a hint of surprise as if she were shocked that he didn't know, "I did a data analysis scan on the used tissues in your lab from earlier today, which tested positive for Influenza A. Furthermore, I've noted that your body involuntarily pauses when you are on the brink of a sneeze, followed by your broken breaths, the initial inhale, and, of course, the exhale of the sneeze. The confirming giveaway that you are officially going to sneeze is the sharp tremble your nose does before your nostrils flare up." She paused for a moment in thought, staring blankly for a moment before approaching his side and handing him a light stack of tissues, "In this instance, though, I gather that you will sneeze approximately 3 times within the next... minute or so." Ren was silent for a couple of seconds, unable to configure a response to her analysis. He didn't expect her to read a whole detailed essay just about his sneezing habits.
"Simply astonishing." He finally blurted out, fairly impressed with her deep analysis and already beginning to feel his sinuses start to tingle a bit harsher than before, just as Ava had predicted. "So this is what you were working on when you were staring at me got do long?" He breathily asked, finding it increasingly difficult to keep his eyes open. "I will admit... My n-nose is startinghh t-togehhIH--" He froze for a moment, eyes finally shutting before he immediately jerked to the side with a spine chilling sneeze directed into the tissues. "--HEH'EGDJISH'iu!!!" The sneeze nearly rips out of him, almost catching him off guard with the quickness of it as he was still thinking about everything Ava had said, wondering if it all actually applied. He laughed internally at himself a little as he felt his nostrils tremble and flare up just as Ava had said before, immediately bending over with another-- "H'EKSSCH...!! Wow." The roboticist exhaustedly blew his nose, briefly with his eyes still closed and his breaths scattered. "I h-had ndo idea thht... y-youhh-hIH--"
"--Are so observant?--" She quickly reached for a few more tissues, noting his twitching nostrils and subtle grimace, immediately handing them to him once his chest bounced again.
"--AH'KSSHHN!! Hihh... Y-yes." He mumbled, massaging his nose through the handful of tissues.
"Bless you, Ren." She smiled, taking joy in the surprise on Ren's face. "You created me to be."
TBC...
How knows, if I'm feeling kinda sussybaka I might make a part 2 lol

… are 1010 sentient in your FRAU? And I am guessing people treat them as if they weren’t…. Just when this AU couldn’t get worse/j (keep up with the wonderful work and drink lots of water)
(In canon, how does everyone realize that 1010 are aware?) (just curious)
Yes they are sentient. They, like with OG 1010, gained the basics of sentience before joining NSR, but didn't fully grow into themselves until after joining NSR. Though FRAU 1010 keeps to themselves a lot of the time so many people think they are not as sentient as they are.
Which does go into your next question. Yes. People treat 1010 and other robots like tools/objects since Neon isn't promoting the idea that robots with AI can be just as sentient as humans.
OG Neon from the start of 1010's career was always explaining the intricacies of robotic AI and sentience, but FRAU Neon stayed more in the back. So a lot more people have the same thought process as Martha, thinking that robots are just program and code, and not an ever evolving AI (which technically not EVERY robot has an AI, but quite a few of them do).
And by canon do you mean OG or FRAU canon? In both universes 1010 try to keep up the act of not being sentient because they are afraid of what might happen if people around them found out.
However, OG 1010 ended up letting slip their sentience when they are separated and show interest in things outside of music. Dropping the mask that they are a unit and are actually individuals (Purl being the last to let the mask fall since they were trying their best to keep things the same since they hate change).
For the FRAU, 1010 kept the mask on a lot longer because their environment was not as welcoming and warm. There have been times where their masks slipped (like Red finding a fascination in space and asking DJ questions or Green talking with Yinu about plants) but for the most part people saw 1010 as non-sentient robots.
At least the public sees 1010 as completely non-sentient. Which is where much of the fear of AI comes from, because there is plenty misinformation going around of what AI means. People think it just means faster processing power or a more powerful robot that will follow orders without question and people are afraid of what a powerful robot with no mind/morals and a bunch of weapons/fighting experience will do if pushed.
The Megastars also have a lot of misinformation to go through, but Neon has explained to them some stuff (more in an annoyed way because even when he does explain it feels like no one believes him) so the Megastars do know a bit more of 1010's sentience status.
Tatiana doesn't see them as actually sentient, and just sees them as tools with good responses built into them/some problem solving code.
Eve sees them as sentient but in a way that is not as good as human sentience (which is why she is actually willing to hurt 1010 since they can understand what she is doing, if they couldn't then it would be like yelling at a toaster which would give her no relief).
Neon sees 1010 as fully sentient. Though he has no idea what their true personalities are because they keep it from him. He only sees sides of them that they show. The only ones he really knows are Red and Blue because those two spend the most time with him.
Sayu's crew probably sees them like Sayu, a husk that Neon uses to create music. I can see Remi thinking they have some sentience, but only because he sees Blue and Yellow as annoying for always trying to look over his shoulder when drawing and Neon telling him they are just curios and trying to learn.
DJ and Yinu have seen more of these sparks of sentience from 1010 (even if Yinu doesn't understand what that means). So they do think 1010 have minds of their own (DJ later actually seeing some of 1010's real personalities when helping Neon out with something as an act of goodwill for some reason).
And Mama just straight up refuses to see 1010 as anything more than military grade weapons that can and will hurt people, especially Yinu.

Stretchy x Stripy headcanons because it's my blog and I can be as self indulgent as I want <3
(Proshippers/NSFW/minors dni pls)
Tumblr media
Stretchy
He doesn't really have any sort of alignment either way, but he's definitely on the receiving end of tickles more often than not, and he usually prefers that
He gets lots of cheer up tickles because of how grumpy he gets >:]
Also usually has to be tickled into taking breaks since he tends to overwork himself
His worst spot is his neck. He usually risks getting a knot in it again because of how bad he squirms sometimes
The fact that he's 90% neck doesn't make this any better lol
Stripy absolutely takes advantage of this and gives him neck kisses just to hear him laugh >:]
His sides and under his arms are really bad too
His laugh varies so much!! He can go from just giggling to full on cackling and wheezing in under a minute lol
Stripy is always telling him how adorable he is and that his laugh is the cutest thing he's ever heard
He tries so hard to deny it though (but he absolutely melts at being told he's cute)
Also his antennas are hyper sensitive and he has an absolute giggle fit if tickled there and Stripy thinks it's the funniest thing ever >:]
On the rare occasion that he does get revenge on Stripy, he's such a playful ler despite the way he acts normally :D
He's never rough with Stripy though since he knows he can't handle rough tickles (also he's just never rough in general because he doesn't want to hurt anyone on accident)
Teasing is so hard for him to do because he's usually too busy laughing along with Stripy lol
His go-to method is to stretch his neck around and nuzzle Stripy from behind (his normal go-to method in my opinion is raspberries but, again, he doesn't like to be too rough with Stripy)
After he's finished he's quick to make sure Stripy's okay and that he didn't go too far with him (Stripy always assures him that he's okay tough <3)
Stripy
He also doesn't have any sort of alignment, but he's usually on the giving end rather than the receiving end
He loves seeing Stretchy smiling and laughing!! He does everything he can to see and hear it (which is mostly achieved by tickling him lol)
He compliments Stretchy a lot when he's tickling him. He just goes on and on about how adorable and handsome his husband is
Meanwhile Stretchy is a giggling mess lol
He's such a sweet, gentle ler :] He's gentle with Stretchy since he doesn't want to hurt him or stress his out
If he wants Stretchy's attention or thinks that he needs a break, Stripy will sneak up from behind, wrap his arms around him and then slowly start scribbling along his stomach and sides (and it works every single time >:])
As soon as Stretchy says he's had enough, he's quick to stop and make sure he's okay. The two usually end up cuddling afterwards
He's also happy to be on the receiving end from time to time!!
He doesn't like rough tickles. Thankfully Stretchy is always gentle with him
His worst spots are his stomach, around his ears and his hips
His laugh is very pleasant sounding. It's usually so quiet and deep sounding you can't really hear it, but when it is audible, while it is still a bit quiet sounding, it just sounds genuinely happy :]
He doesn't squirm, but he does cover his face sometimes when he laughs (Stretchy thinks this is the cutest thing ever btw)
Him and Stretchy do have small tickle fights from time to time
Stripy usually wins them btw
Stretchy get so flustered at seeing Stripy laugh!! <:]
When Stretchy starts getting scared that he'll accidentally hurt him, Stripy assure him that he's okay that he did good <3

Why do you think people are immediately jumping to making horror content for WtP? It’s really disheartening that ppl see a cute famous kids thing entering the public domain and want to make that kind of stuff immediately
You know, it's a good question that I definitely can explain to an extent, Anon! :B
I feel like it's this mentality that starts around one's early teens and stays with some of said people where it's funny (to them) to make edgy/violent takes of cute and/or harmless franchises (Sesame Street, VeggieTales, Hello Kitty, Winnie the Pooh in this case) for the sake of being "funny" and edgy rather than making something somewhat interesting.
Sometimes, I found the sketches funny (like the,,,the K/ill Bill parody trailer with Jesus and the Easter Bunny), but you could definitely say that R/obot C/hicken was a leading "let's make a children's franchise funny" by adding edgy elements, and before that, there were sketches on M/adTV and S/aturday Night Live though to lesser extents because they would sometimes make original cartoons doing edgy stuff and less licensed franchises.
The increase of adaptations of light-heard/children franchises have been going on for a couple of years, I've noticed (media believes we don't need sweet/light-hearted things, only serious and realism) -- and they've increased more once they enter public domain because the companies/people producing these "Ow the Edge" works don't have to worry about getting into hot water by the general public, Cease and Desists by the (living) franchise's owner, or a combination of both. Public domain is a free-for-all, including children/light-hearted works and -- as unfortunate as it is -- people have been thinking about using those public domain titles just to make edgy stuff for the lols -- or make something dark and serious which somehow ends up on level with the former because it's done in such a corny manner ;;
tldr; The culture of "making innocent franchises edgy" has been around since the 80s, grew as time went on, and once people realized they could get away with doing that with public domain stuff, they went crazy. Winnie-the-Pooh now falls under that category (Tigger has to wait another year or two to join them). It's just...kind of a lame type of humour that doesn't work well because it's been done so much now...
