"Ok But You Know You're Still *technically* A Huma-" Shut Up.

to all the robots out there

Friendly reminder to never EVER let losers on the internet convince you that alterhumanity is wrong or will never be accepted by general society.

I went to my city's local renaissance faire earlier this week and I had genuinely such an incredible experience. I went with my tail, theta delta necklace, and mask (which I may post here once Im fully done with it lol) gear and received so many compliments. Not only that but I saw and talked to quite a few other alterhumans, like at least 10 and that was after only being there for 1 of the 2 days for less than 2 hours. Also please keep in mind that this was by no means a large ren faire (at least compared to others in the region) and the area I live in is very mixed in terms of progressiveness. But at one point I was walking past some vendors and an older lady running one of the booths exclaimed how much she liked my mask and asked to take a picture of it, and explained how her granddaughter was just starting to learn how to make some of her own. And then told me that the booth next to hers was "selling some therian masks" (yes she actually used the word therian completely unprompted!) and sure enough the couple in there were selling some masks made by their 11 year old daughter (which were absolutely gorgeous btw). Afterwards, as I was out near the parking lot waiting for my ride so that I could leave, I was practicing quadrobics and some 5-6 year old kids walked past me with their parents and looked absolutely awestruck. Shortly after another woman approached me and told me that her young granddaughter was completely overjoyed when she saw me me running around and had wanted to come play with me, and had said "Ive never seen a creature play like that before!!"

Not only was the ren faire itself super fun and cool to be at (I can't wait for next year omg), but it was unexpectedly the most positive alterhuman related experiences Ive had maybe ever.

There is a future where we are normal, where others see us as who we truly are and where we don't have to conceal ourselves to avoid judgement. The road isn't always going to be smooth, especially as we grow in numbers, in fact I fully expect things to get a whole lot worse for us in the years and decades to come. But one day, maybe even in our lifetimes, you will walk through a pride parade and see someone enthusiastically waving a massive theta delta flag through the crowd. You will hear strangers casually use species neutral language like it's the most normal thing in the world. You will sit down with your family to watch the newest popular tv show that includes a character who has received species affirming medical care. You will walk past a cozy locally owned business that has an "all species welcomed!" sticker on their window next to their lgbtq+ and poc welcoming signs.

We are everywhere, and we're not going away. There will always be those who refuse to understand us, but there will be more who choose to love and accept us in our entirety, I have absolutely no doubt about that <3

Things I’d do with a screen face:

Display all kinds of glasses on the screen that don’t actually affect my eyesight, which is through various cameras around my head component.

Change my eye color, but very very slowly so you only notice if you remember that they were blue at the beginning of the week

Display the full text of the sentence that I’ve been asked to repeat because I heavily dislike having to repeat myself. Whilst saying nothing

Splat food on it like I’m actually eating it, just so my custom windshield wipers can activate and clean me off. The stimming feeling is worth the 2% battery loss.

Use me as a tv of sorts so my buddies can play games on it. I’d still be able to play obviously.

Move my face to the sides of the screen to emphasize where I’m looking. Nothings funnier than my face and login dramatically rising to the top right corner as I tilt my head upwards, even if my cameras on the top of my head can perfectly see what I’m indicating

Use these buffers for whenever I don’t want to talk/am wrapped up in my own thoughts/daydreaming:

Cut to memes I’m referencing in conversation, kinda like how Bumblebee “talked” in those movies

Pirate films and showcase them to my pals

//: petition to abolish ccaptchas. i hate those sons of bitches.
