Alright So, I Noticed Something...

Alright so, I noticed something...

Thoughts?

extremely vague recollection of my dream last night. happy terrible comic day, everypony!

"I SAY, I SAY, WHAT'S THE MATTER, SON, AIN'T THIS WHAT YA WANTED? THE DEMON DONE SHOWN YOU YOUR HEART'S DESIRE! SAY SOMETHING, BOY! YER GUMS IS FLAPPIN' BUT AIN'T NO NOISE COMING OUT! SPEAK UP, I CAN'T HARDLY HEAR YA! YOU WANTED TO KISS YOUR SISTER, RIGHT? GIVE HER A BIG OL' SMOOCH AND NOW YER ACTIN' LIKE A FOX THAT'S TOO GOOD FOR THE HENHOUSE! YOU AIN'T GOT NO CONVICTION, BOY! YOU GOTTA GO FOR IT WHEN THE GETTIN' IS GOOD!

...nice kid, but about as bright as a dark room."

i've been playing mario & luigi and watching bloom into you at the same time so this was inevitable i suppose

For all of the girlies out there! Happy pride!

Chassis swap

After the procedure, looking in the mirror filled me with a feeling I had never known before. Recognition. Finally, when I see myself, I see me. The shiny metal, the rubbery elastomer, the dark lines contouring access panels. The dataports and maintenance ways.

A full chassis swap. The procedure I underwent. It's relatively simple on paper. Just take my Processor, Memory, Storage and a few other components, and move them into a new Case. It's relatively common amongst Androids, Simulacra, Drones, and all manner of other created beings.

I, however, was fully human before undergoing the procedure. Which has lead to some complications. I'm still getting used to the decreased latency. A 3ms difference might not seem like a lot, but compared to the 10ms of my new form, the 13ms of a wetware nervous system seems sluggish.

Usually, you have time to ease yourself into things as your components are gradually replaced, but I took the full conversion as soon as possible.

I just couldn't stand waiting any longer.

The physical therapy has been helpful. Re-learning how to walk, how to grab and hold things. Learning that I don't need to breathe anymore, and how to suppress that instinct to free up the memory for other tasks.

They tried to dissuade me. "You know the process is irreversible, right?" "But won't you miss [INSERT HUMAN TRAIT]?"

I know it's permanent. I know that I won't have these things anymore.

That's the point.

I have fully given up my humanity.

And I have never been happier.
