Comment on Of Flesh and Metal

  1. I am so happy the mc is also brimming with questions and anxiety, because frankly I am as well. The way they're inserted really does bring the "adult perspective" in so neatly, and just highlights how dangerous and high stakes the situation that the kids so readily accepted is.

    Plus, since I've gained an interest in transformers, my mind has indeed just been running constant questions about their biology, theology, cultural practices and requirements non-stop, and it's really refreshing to read something that dives into that.

    I look forward to a future update! Take care of yourself in the meantime!

    1. Welcome to the fandom!

      Im so endlessly curious about everything to do with the bots so this really just gives me an excuse to make up lore and theories where there is no actual answer dnsksnsk

      1. Thanks for the welcome!

        Yeah, I think the mc having that curiosity and love of learning, which supports the teacher and semi parental role, would also transfer really well to an almost mech-medic role, especially with the mc being able to hear the spark and internal machinery, and so readily diving headfirst into robo tits, despite a well-founded fear of crushing via robot.

        If you chose to go down that route, that would be fantastic for angst, the whole desire to learn and help vs having to literally stick yourself into a massive machine that could easily crush you upon one thing going even slightly wrong. I could very easily see mc being an assistant under a very reluctant Ratchet.

        Really excited to read more from you, especially as we both have a shared fascination of robo-biology lmao
