2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

robot character: *uses their body to shield their human companion from danger because they’re a machine and so don’t consider their life or safety to have as much value as that of the person they love*

me:

robot/mechanic is a relationship that i have Not seen enough of

give me exposed wires and bared flesh meeting in the hum of mechanical intimacy

i want well trained, soft yet firm hands running across mechanical parts, sliding plates into place and letting cogs tick again

and seeing your partner, flesh or metal, as the co-creator of the art of your body, a constant bond as your form may change? divine.
