weeee I'm all over the place atm, have a character idea I'm currently throwing around in my head! no name yet, but they're a futuristic, extremely advanced robot left to their own devices, having to learn how to be a living thing one step at a time. my idea is that they ended up floating in space somehow, and bird found them and took em into her spaceship, and now they're best buds. they have no fashion sense and love dinosaurs. bird is loud, exciteable autism and this guy is quiet, stoic autism. they have their excited moments but they're pretty rare, but bird can read em just fine regardless. maybe mute? probably selective mutism, so they can talk, they just usually don't.
wahoooo we shall see if I do more with this idea, lmao
