Jenny was originally designed to be a shape-shifting superhero; her “pigtails” are rocket thrusters, and her entire body can morph and shift to create weapons. Given her standard appearance is more to look like a humanoid girl, it seems reasonable that that’s an appearance she chose, rather than her default, especially because we know she can modify her appearance however she likes, albeit restricted to her two base colors unless she gets a new paint-job.

Though her mother learns to be more supportive of her later on, Jenny was originally confined to house arrest save for doing her job, supposedly because the world around her wouldn’t accept her.

She is canonically six-foot-six, which is rather tall, though it seems the average height of humanity has also gone up. So it’s not too uncommon for other men to be taller than her, but she’s also taller than most people. She has so far only dated other men who are taller than her.

She gains two different disguises for looking human. The first one doesn’t pass at all, while the second passing one convinces her to behave like a normal human girl, whispering into her ear to not only look, but behave like a “normal” girl, even if it’s not in her best interests.

It’s evidently quite common for androids to be made from different base personality points- Kenny, a boy she dated for a little while, was a re-purposed dog robot, and still carried over some of his dog traits.

The two most popular girls in school specifically have it out for her, because she’s a robot “pretending” to be a girl.

I’d suspected Jenny was trans coded for a long time, but this scene was what had me 100% convinced. 

Prior to this episode Jenny had always treated Ms. Wakeman as her mother, always referring to her as “mom/mother”; which caused Wakeman to be mocked by her peers. Ms. Wakeman was typically cold towards Jenny, always referring to her as XJ9 (essentially Jenny’s deadname) and usually treating her as nothing more than a defence droid. But in this scene Ms. Wakeman is actually seeing Jenny in danger and rushes to protect her, finally calling her “my daughter” for the first time. As soon as she does, the pure joy and amazement in Jenny’s voice just makes my heart swell. 

Matt, Jackie and Inez are creations of Dr. Marbles, Wicked and Coop to aid and protect Motherboard from The Hacker.

The series starts when the three of them are sent out on their very first mission... a trip to the Cybrary! But what is meant to be a simple task turns into the start of their adventures as heroes when the three are tricked into attacking Motherboard and find Dr. Marbles has been kidnapped.

Learning these two were childhood friends has forever changed my brain chemistry, i NEED to see more of their friendship, i N E E D I T

The game treats the Miis like they’re real people and makes zero mention ever that they are not, and only ever refers to them and their POV as if they are real and you are their caretaker! While playing this honestly messed with my head pretty badly at times and made me worry a lot on if I was hurting real people/not doing enough for real people while I was playing!

I cannot imagine how much worse this would be for someone who’s unmedicated, non-dormant, or experiencing breakthrough symptoms! Do please be careful and PLEASE remember to have a way to reality check yourself while playing the game!!!

Something BIG is coming this June! Get inside, lock the doors and keep track of all your belongings. We will check back in a week to see how this situation develops. "The time is now, the hero is you!"

Super Mario Odyssey contains unused code for a "CeilingKeep" state for Mario that does not resemble anything found in the finished game, or in Mario games in general, which can only be described as "ceiling with ice floor puzzle mechanics".

A typical ice floor puzzle in a video game will take away the player's control upon stepping on a slippery surface and make characters keep moving in a straight line until they either leave the ice floor or hit an obstacle.

This state confers the same ability, bafflingly, to a ceiling instead. The ceiling would "grab hold" of Mario, make him move without player input in the direction he was facing when he touched it, and only let go when he reached the end of the ceiling.

What this could have been used for, and what such a ceiling could have looked like, is unknown.

For Cyberweek's first prompt, Nostalgia, I decided to use an idea of mine I've been thinking about constantly lately. The three Earthlies, cut off from Cyberspace for over a year. They worry of the friends they've made and reminisce about their adventures. Nostalgia can give the past a rosey color and make good memories painful.

Hey, everyone! Happy to share a preview of my piece for the @pbskidszine It's another traditional piece! Obviously Jackie's cut out... but so are a few other characters. 👀

I hope you consider purchasing it in its digital or physical form [when it's available]! There are so many beautiful works of art across its pages. I feel so lucky to get to be a part of it. There's also some merch you can buy as well, with even more great art 💜
