This adorable little robot is designed to make sure its photosynthesising passenger is well taken care of. It moves towards brighter light if it needs, or hides in the shade to keep cool. When in the light, it rotates to make sure the plant gets plenty of light. It even likes to play with humans.
Oh, and apparently, it gets antsy when it’s thirsty.
The robot is actually an art project called “Sharing Human Technology with Plants” by a roboticist named Sun Tianqi. It’s made from a modified version of a Vincross HEXA robot, and in his own words, it’s purpose is “to explore the relationship between living beings and robots.”
I don’t care if it’s silly. I want one.
“So you see,” said the Royal Advisor, wringing his hands, “the curse states the princess will die on the night before her twenty-fifth birthday–”
“Hang on,” said the princess, “‘ON the night before’–”
The Advisor nodded grimly.
“So what you’re saying is that, until that one specific date, I am effectively immortal?”
“Technically yes, but then–” the King stammered.
“Wow,” said the princess, who was sixteen and did not possess amazing impulse control. “I’m gonna go teach myself how to juggle chainsaws while hang gliding over shark-infested waters, catch you chuckleheads later.”
Ohshit, this needs to be a lot longer
A novel about a depressed superhero who just can get out of their apartment to help anyone. So crime rises and people die, and the hero can’t find it in them to care. And all the news wants to know is where did their hero go? Why has the hero abandoned them? The hero doesn’t know, but a barely there villain does. So the villain reaches out to the hero and offers the hero their company, because they know what it’s like to be so depressed you can barely get out of bed to go to the bathroom; they’ve been there before. Normally the hero would frown at hanging out with a villain, but since they don’t care about anything right now, they don’t oppose the idea. So the villain starts visiting the hero regularly; making the hero meals, helping the hero clean the apartment, and just watching Netflix with the hero until they both fall asleep. They become friends, and slowly the hero starts to get better and able to do more things. The hero starts therapy and even saves a couple people here and there. And all the while, the villain is right there with them, helping them along the way (though they’re still a villain and that’s not changing). And eventually the hero asks the villain to move in with them because they can’t picture their life without the villain, but it’s not romantic in anyway whatsoever. They become permanent roommates and best friends and maybe, just maybe, they adopt a dog together.
Villain: *is up to villany shit*
Hero: No energy to fight Crime so they just send a text :Be the person our dog thinks you are.
Villain: shit ur right
