“you humans are so vulnerable,” sun comments one day out of the blue as he stacks up some blocks laying around the daycare. you look up from the computer monitor in front of you, staring over the security desk to give him an odd look.
“where did that come from?” you ask, confusion overtaking the mild unease you felt at such a statement. it was… morbid. even for him.
sun doesn’t answer at first as he finishes his task, then swoops a long arm down to the ground to snatch up a small plushie. he shrugs and waves the plushie in the air a bit. “just an observation i have noticed! that’s all!” he chucks the plushie into a bin and moves to grab another.
“…right,” you say after a second, then flit your gaze back down to your computer. “well, you’re not wrong, you know.” you didn’t think you’d come to work today to talk about your fragility as a human being, but well… here you are.
“i know! it’s just—” he pauses a bit as though collecting his thoughts, fingers kneading into the soft material of the roxy plush he’s holding. “hm. you’re all so squishy and easily harmed. you require sleep and yet you are at your most vulnerable as you do so. you build these devices to protect yourself because you do not have the physical capabilities to do so on your own.” you stare back at him, an eyebrow quirked. he continues, “it is simply… interesting, to me.”
you hum, a little perturbed, but not enough to stop the conversation. “we have to do what we have to do to survive, i guess.”
sun finishes collecting all the toys strewn about and moves to approach the security desk. he leans against its surface, right across from you, and props his head up with one of his hands.
“of course!” he replies with a small spin of his rays. it does wonders to ease the tension from your shoulders. “it makes the creation of automata all the more significant, doesn’t it?”
“…what do you mean?” you ask warily. blank white eyes lock onto your own. you shift uncomfortably in your chair and are glad that his protocols prevent him from entering your space any farther.
“you build robots to help you do the more dangerous tasks,” sun notes in a light voice. you know he’s not talking about you specifically, but humanity as a whole, yet it still grates at you somehow. “you build them to protect you and to serve you. and yet you give them abilities that far surpass your own.” his fingers tap at his face, a steady clink clink clink that makes something in your legs tense.
“where are you going with this?” you suddenly ask, not quite liking the path sun is currently taking.
“you make robots stronger than you,” sun continues in a strangely low voice as though you hadn’t said a word, “you make them smarter. you make them from a material that cannot be as easily damaged as your flesh. and you just… live and work with them, expecting them to follow your every bidding without considering what might happen should they suddenly… change.”
you stare at him, eyes unblinking as his head rotates to the side—the ticking of the mechanisms behind it seeming to echo around the empty daycare.
and then he smiles at you wider—grin sharp, thin, dangerous.

man sometimes i really want to get back into welding but then i remember that the guys from the first course i took won’t be there and change my mind
comprehensive list of things that happened to me in my welding course with The Guys:
- was the only one to get an A the first grading period. had to stop them from putting me on their shoulders
- became the official classroom mascot on account of i was the only girl. this meant i was an integral stop on any and all workshop tours. was referred to as “Our Lady Helena” on these occasions
- almost set myself on fire once bc my prof stood behind me watching me try a skill he’d just demonstrated and he shouted very suddenly very loudly. restarted my heart and asked WTF WAS THAT FOR JOHN and he called me a “goddamn wonder”. i almost got third degree burned over a compliment
- mentioned offhand ONE TIME that swords were cool. also mentioned my birthday offhand ONE TIME. one of The Guys remembered both instances and also happened to find a sword in a dumpster so he gave it to me for my birthday
- came in fifth in an arm wrestling competition
- french braided my hair in class bc i didn’t have time to do it beforehand. ended up with an audience of like 5+ guys trying to figure out how tf i was doing it
- told The Guys my college friends call me barbie. Mistake. suddenly had all 12 of them calling me Barbarian
- had some down time and made a silly little sculpture with some scraps. The Guys were endlessly intrigued by this and demanded to see some of my art school stuff. had a small crowd around my phone cheering loudly every time i swiped to a new picture
- accidentally mentioned the cafe i worked at. Mistake. several days later all 12 of them came in to bother me
- offered someone a haircut. Mistake. had to retract the offer bc suddenly Everyone wanted a haircut and it would Not Be Fair if i only did one

downside: going to have to include a picture of the Giza pyramids in the slides for the lecture
upside: i get to give people a crash course in why perspective matters in two frames, becausefollowed by
is such a funny sequence
i find most people who haven’t seen it in person don’t know that cairo is RIGHT THERE
I loved these perspectives so I took some of my own when I was in Cairo and yeah, they’re literally just. Right there. Pass em on your way to work, nbd
No, y'all don’t even understand.
There is literally a Pizza Hut across the street from the pyramids.
That Pizza Hut among other things is why Egyptologists laugh their asses off when we see another piece of media where the protagonists get “lost in the desert near the pyramids”, because it’s like… just turn around my dudes you’re only a seven min walk away from the nearest fastfood shop
Yall don’t know how much I adore all of this
