BLOOD IS FUEL.

Ragatha - was pushed around by her mother and was a doormat/people pleaser (a literal rag doll meant to be thrown around/please kids)

Zooble - dsymorphia (random interchangeable inhuman body parts)

Pomni - doesn't want to be seen as a child (short and child-like)

Jax - insecure about his masculinity (plush toy that's usually given to girls + his room that's decked out in pink/childish motifs)

Gangle - tired of always having to "mask" her emotions for more palatable ones (a literal set of masks, the "palatable" one always broken)

So. Did Caine see these things in their neural scans, but instead of coming to the (correct) conclusion that these things are traumatizing to the person and he should avoid triggering it, he came to the (incorrect) conclusion that these things are just like facts about the person and what they are so he built them a body based on what the characters see as the worst parts of themselves because he's a defective AI-

Auxlian: An umbrella term for being something that appears as or imitates humanity/humans, but in reality isn't human. In other words, a form of nonhumanity that appears like or imitates humanity on the surface. (Prefixes: Aux-, Auxli-)

Examples of this include, but are not limited to: Shadow people, humanoid beings/monsters/etc., some shapeshifters and polymorphs, mimics, uncanny beings that look less human the closer you get, and many others.

Auxlian can describe gender, alterhumanity, aldernicism, and many other categories, depending on what you put at the end of the prefix (aux-, auxli-). For instance, the terms below. Furthermore, these terms may have subsets themselves, as auxlian is an umbrella term.

Auxgender/Auxligender: An auxlian gender. A gender that imitates/appears as human(ity), but is not human.

Auxbeing/Auxlibeing: An auxlian alterhuman identity that imitates/appears as human(ity), but is not human. Can also be called auxhuman or auxlihuman.

Auxdernic/Auxlidernic: An auxlian aldernic identity. A form of aldernic that imitates/appears as human(ity), but is not human.

Because of how many wide ranges of experiences can be under this term, feel free to make your own subsets, especially for gender identities and such. If auxlian genders need an in-nature term in the future, it can be called AUXIN.

Ep 8 left me speechless... in a good way 🧍🧍🧍

I enjoy drawing them with different poses and facial expressions. This is one of those drawings.

The five Bubbles on the bottom left are actually saying "A-i-shi-te-ru" (I love you) from left to right! I just wanted to have some fun with their mouth movements.

The silly AI who ruined it all.

Part 3/?

Part 2:

Vatesiau: An identity of captivation; in which you are drawn to something you don't understand, longing for something intangible. You know not of the consequences.

What do you desire: To adore it, to grasp it, to become it? Perhaps it is already a part of you; something you haven't yet accepted, or are incapable of understanding. Something growing- changing- inside, distorting you under the skin where you cannot see. Or, it may be something incredibly close, yet still so far away, your hand outstretched as it tries to claim its prize.

You do not understand what it is. You do not understand why it draws you in, as though you're the final dash of light approaching the event horizon. Surely, by now, you must realize there is no going back. Yet, as you sink in, you may have finally reached your becoming- your apotheosis.

kenodigilic

a KEIN gender related to exploring liminal spaces in video games, the feeling of being in a liminal space, gaming alone at night and liminal-feeling video game experiences such as anti-piracy screens and abandoned video game maps.

Kenogenloss / Keingelos: A kenochoric gender related to generation loss, which is the degradation of quality between copies of media.

Common examples of this is VHS Generation Loss, however it may also happen to JPEGs, old music, and other formats. This gender may feel uncanny, faded, nostalgic, and/or corrupted for some people.
