Hehe Also May I Just Say That Mysterious Cosplay In The Top Right Is Quite Well Done And Nice - Blog Posts

(Hi hi herosplatling-replica is me!I'm trying my darndest to be less shy!!! o7)

I'm really curious about mal's fashion sense, and if that reflects at all in maldroid on quieter night shifts! Additionally can mal feel it when people touch their robot body when it's night? I've got a lot of questions but I'll start w the pressing ones hehehe

Hello! Thanks for reaching out! I know it’s hard sometimes but I love your stuff! Nice profile pic btw.

Anyway, Mal’s fashion is a little all over the place. They love comfortable clothes. Sweatpants and t-shirts are their go-to. They’re down to try anything on though, and get especially adventurous when in their robot body. Being AMAB, they’re usually too nervous of what people might think of them to dress in feminine outfits. As much as they dislike being stuck in the robot half the time, they do like how freeing it is that they can try anything on with no reservations. The only stipulation is that they can’t cover their chest monitor while helping a patient, as that’s where their vitals are displayed. They have a lot of body dysmorphia as a robot, but finally being able to put some clothes on has helped their self esteem a little. They also like to do cosplays and dress ups with the kids.

The silicone and rubber guards around their limbs are detachable, which allows for an easier fit, but leaves more delicate wiring and machinery exposed. Their outsides are waterproof, but their insides sure aren’t.

As for what they can feel, Maldroid 1.0 is limited to sight and sound. Maldroid 2.0 has sight, sound, heartbeat detection, heat vision, night vision, and later on rudimentary sensors for smell, temperature, and touch. Once Ian found out about Mal’s condition he wanted to make sure they were as comfortable as possible. Before it felt like they were floating in nothing. Sensory deprivation. Now though? It’s not perfect, but it’s better.
