The Brainless One

Summary:

A little thingy about The Jon being insecure about his lack of intelligence

Notes:

Written in a 20 minute time limit for a Discord sprint

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

The Jon sometimes felt a bit bothered by how unintelligent he was, relative to his bandmates.

He knew it wasn't his fault. Really, he'd just not been programmed with as much 'thinking' power as his siblings had. But, he still couldn't help but feel a bit self-conscious, particularly when it came to songwriting.

Juju Magic was catchy and fun to perform, sure, but it didn't hold a candle to Honeybee or Brass Goggles or even Automatomic Electronic Harmonics. His mind just wasn't built for that, and it certainly didn't help that his fuel source was hard to obtain, often leading to him not running at full capacity.

Still, he felt a bit self-conscious, but his siblings were never mean to him about it. Sure, they'd occasionally poke fun at him, but it wasn't any different than the ways they poked fun at each other, so it didn't bother him.

Besides, they were still glad to perform the songs he wrote live, which made him feel a bit better.

Maybe being brainless isn't that bad.

Notes:

I should clarify this is not meant as a diss towards Jonathan Sprague, he's a very talented guy
