Rule 1 Never Skin The Ferryman

hhh this isnt re any one specific person or fic, but I've gotta say, while I love the fact that V1 is nonverbal in canon, man, I wish people would think about the implications of their alternate forms of communication for it more (as well as what that means re characterization).

Like... if you're going to have it use sign, I am BEGGING you to do literally ANY research into sign languages. Also, the character choices some people make when it uses direct messaging are... sigh. I mean, if you're going to explore what communication looks like for V1, or what not having a voice module means vis-a-vis how it processes language, by all means play around with it!

But if you're going to have it be incapable of forming coherent sentences in writing while having V2 or other vocal machines capable of forming coherent sentences, I'm going to be really turned off unless you're willing to portray a really good reason for it. It just really rubs me the wrong way, like the implication that V1 is less intelligent due to not being able to speak. Idk. Again, not calling anyone out, just wish there were a bit more thought in general.

posting it here because there's no chance anyone in my family would ever see it: this is how my brother's 13-year-old child decided to announce something to me

Look at this nascent researcher! They look so earnest!

the angel staying over at my house asked for a nightlight in their room and i told them buddy, don't you produce your own light? what're you gonna do with more? and they said they wanted to see why people like it so much. and also that the nightlight i own is blue and they're been trying to understand color. anyways i think they've stared at it for an hour now
