Your personal Tumblr journey starts here
“doing maintenance on your android is analogous to sex” is fun but i feel like a better analogy is that it’s like showering together. they’re perfectly capable of removing their panelling and resoldering their wires themselves; it’s a trivial task for a robot, simple daily maintenance, but it requires a deep familiarity and understanding of their specific layout and components and wiring format, all the stuff humans have a hard time remembering. but if your android lies down on the bench, pops their hatch, and allows you to perform this little act of intimacy for them? they trust you to know them, know how to take care of them — inside and out.
