Concept: the old robot-with-Pinocchio-syndrome bit, except they don’t give a shit about art or love or anything like that; the thing they’re yearning for is something completely off the wall which would never occur to any reasonable human to think of as essential to the human condition, but which the robot is prepared to argue – rigorously, methodically, and at enormous length – is in fact the very heart of what it means to be human.

Some favourites from the notes:

  • Itching
  • Back pain
  • Being bad at video games
  • Freudian slips
  • Cracking open a cold one with the boys
  • Paying taxes
  • Evading taxes
  • The capacity to have cold toes so you have a legitimate reason to wear cool socks
  • Shaving
  • Schadenfreude
  • Seasonal allergies
  • Existential dread

it comes back to tax evasion in the end. it really do be like that

CLICK HERE FOR FULL SIZE!

since im in quarentine i decided i wanted to do something nice for my mutuals, so here it is, my own little corner of the internet. this was orignally meant to be a comic but considering this single panel took me like six hours to make and tomorrow quarentine ends i thought, you know what, im good enough with this

depicted here are some of my dear:

@drethelin, @sigmaleph, @tiffany-loves-broadway, @proudly-arrogant, @birdblogwhichisforbirds, @nostalgebraist, @itsbenedict and @argumate

wanted to include here but ran out of space or their avatars didnt lend themselves to being a character, @theaudientvoid, @funereal-disease, @ericvilas, @dagny-hashtaggart

there is probably plenty im missing as well and if you are seeing this and i didnt include you then that is probably because i dont see you very often in my dash and/or we just dont interact a lot.

!!!!!!!!!!!!
