syntax

I gave Syntax a pet and then it snowballed into me thinking about all my robots’ pets so!!

Syntax has a bull terrier called Bella

Ned has a St Bernard called Spud

Twenty has a chihuahua called Speckle

Dex has a red macaw called Almond

3, 10, 16 for Dex + Ned

5, 18, 24 for Syntax + Twenty

Ned + Dex

3. What were their first impressions of each other? How does that compare to their impressions of each other now?

When they first met Dex’s first impression of Ned wasn’t very high. He sorta saw Ned as a puppy JGSJD

Ned has a sorta boundless optimism and believes the best of everyone attitude that gives that vibe

Ned’s initially thought that Dex seemed like a nervous person-! Their first interaction was sort of awkward and Dex struggled to form a solid sentence

Neither really thought they’d be fantastic work partners

That definitely changed though!!

They both think very highly of the other :} they’re good friends!

Dex’s feelings probably change the most ‘dramatically’ of the two

He still sees the sorta puppydog aspect to Ned’s personality

But he also sees that Ned is a very intelligent person, both emotionally and factually

Ned is very analytical of the world around him, and he takes notice of a lot, he’s oddly insightful when you don’t really expect him to be

Whereas Ned’s shifts just a little

He learns that Dex isn’t really a nervous person, their first encounter was just a rough one. Dex is generally a levelheaded person, usually very dependable-!

He knows he can joke and have fun with Dex, and he absolutely adores the quiet way he lights up whenever Ned brings him a lil trinket, keychain or toy

Their workspace ends up utterly filled with teeny little decorations everywhere

10. What is one major difference between them?

They’re built to parallel each other in a lot of ways, but I’d say their biggest difference is Ned wears his heart on his sleeve, whereas Dex doesn’t

Ned is very open and honest about how he feels, communication is probably one of his strongest attributes

Dex would rather die than talk about his feelings, actually he would rather act as if he Does Not Have Them (he does)

16. Is one of them keeping secrets from the other? Why? How would they react if the secret was revealed?

Dex is :)

Ned would react badly

Syntax + Twenty:

5. Do they get along? Why or why not?

They do!

They’re not exactly a pair anyone would expect to get along, but Twenty kinda just kept pestering Syntax until he befriended him, there was no choice in the matter

18. Do they view their relationship as temporary or permanent?

Syntax isn’t used to maintaining relationships very well, so he mostly believes it’s a temporary thing.

Twenty doesn’t have a horrendously large friend circle, but the relationships he does have he holds close to his heart and he works hard to maintain them, so it’s definitely a permanent thing for him

24. How do these two interact with each other in public versus in private?

Out in public it’s usually pretty reserved. Y’know, light/idle conversation- they enjoy each other’s company and there’s not much else to it. Syntax is a very goal-driven person, if he’s out of the house it’s usually for a reason and he tends to not like to sway from the goal until it’s finished.

Indoors though!! Twenty is a very physically affectionate person, he’s usually cuddled up to someone, and usually it’s either Syntax or Ned. They tend to curl up on the sofa with a bunch of pillows and blankets and they’ll either binge watch a series or find a bunch of terrible movies to watch. Both of em enjoy shitty horror movies.
