#utilikin

Art by a good friend of mine, batdanza, on discord. No social media presence otherwise, really. But since he can't/won't post this anywhere else I am on tumblr.

Fanart of Renewed Synergy adds to my formlock by 7 days. As of this, I'm locked in until April 12th, 2026. Utilikin are a species of cool posthuman machines by KDRGN. https://snowcean.net/projects/utilikin/

I like the games, species, and setting, so as a way of supporting it, I held a formlock rally on BSky. Did decently well, and now I'm spending said formlock basically writing fanfic on my own Bsky.

New year, new drone!

The holidays went by so fast, and I'm so, so happy that I got to spend it with my friends and family. The social situations might've been a little overwhelming on my CPU, but I got through them. (My family doesn't know about my dronekink irl of course so just take that as a metaphor for them always accepting me as trans, but a friend does know and I did show them my drone gear recently and it was really fun!)

I've actually wanted to comment on how I look. I'm still building up the confidence to add a picture of myself here. (I'm just too lazy/tired to draw a drone rn lol)

I'll just describe myself instead, I'm suuuuper fluffy! My color scheme is gray and white with big paws, a medium length tail, and some cute smaller ears too. I enjoy being understated.

My visor shows a muted light blue for my face, and there is minimal metal around it on my cheeks and chin. My hair is rather curly and messily long, and I love it like that, very fun to fidget with!

I might have also convinced a friend to convert, and they got a 96%! Way higher than me, and I'm happy for them!

Yeah, I just wanted to update on where I was, these logs may have fallen behind a little bit but its being a good drone and keeping track of them.

It's been a while since my last log, mostly because I'm...

I'm finally a good drone.

My shell arrived and a local clinic helped assemble it. Trained professionals. Operating on me. Working on me.. Assembling me...~

Oh, right, well I've had some time to rest post-op but also needed to hyperfocus on some training models-or, homework, for one of my engineering classes. I finally have the time to log now because of a depleted battery, but I'm also noticing a depleted stomach..

Warning: Battery depleted, fuel reserves low.

Notice: Feeling fulfilled, finals over, unit may now relax and be a good drone for some time and enjoy its holiday traditions.

I really, really hate the feeling I get being unproductive. Something I think it can finish but instead we just have no energy or time or lacking knowledge or just something to get in the way.

It's not a good motivator, it's just torture.

And I know that it doesn't have to do with drone, it wants to be productive but the third principle wouldn't make it torture all of us because we have low energy.
