--- End quote ---

Well, with the robot fights shut down, Hank will be looking for a job that doesn't involve dismembering. He could end up pulling a few shifts at the same store May works in.

Though if that does happen, the boss should be wary of pulling a Dante on Hank, or there might be some dismembering after all.

A rather well written reminder of the trope http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GoodIsNotNice

I'll be honest, I'm not fond of this whole arc.  Not the Deus ex machina, not the resolution, and least of all this comeuppance.  It feels like a fanfic begun by Momo and finished off by May. 

I personally would prefer CW to have disappeared, never to be heard from again.  No final resolution, and evil still exists in the world, out there... somewhere...


You know, like real life.  This used to be a "slice of life comic with androids".  I'd like to see more of that here.

Finally got around to making this, purely so I could put in my thoughts on this.

I think that Creepybot is actually pretty fascinating.

If you look at the differences between how they treat Bubbles, Faye, Emily and now Corpse Witch, there are some very interesting patterns.

With Bubbles, they were menacing but mostly polite, and very very aware of personal boundaries. Note how they apologized to Bubbles before entering the headspace, and were patient and polite with the secondary headspace.
With Faye there was... Honestly? To me it read like friendly ribbing. Except it came from effectively an eldritch horror with a very alien mind. But... even when Faye got defensive over Bubbles, tried to be intimidating, Creepybot didn't harm her. In fact, they could have knocked Faye out. They didn't. They allowed Faye to see the conversation, build up a semi informed perspective. Everything after that was... definitely respectful of Faye's bond with Bubbles, even if it was for Bubbles' sake if nothing else.
Emily there was... Not quite wariness, and not quite respect. I think Creepybot knew about Emily by reputation, but got legitimately thrown for a loop at some of the responses. Once Bubbles' headspace was involved, they did become serious, even when that expressed as impatient and superior, there was still some undercurrent of respect.
And in the aftyermath. They seemed legitimately regretful that they could not prove themselves trustworthy, and that Bubbles' memories could not be recovered.

Notice with Corpse Witch now. Yes, they began menacingly, but they did not actually harm CW until she was disrespectful. They also have offered her an opportunity to save her own skin, or at least take the lesser of two evils.
They say that Bubbles inspired that, and I can't claim to know either way.


Anyway. This all is a very long winded point but.

Creepybot has been immaculately respectful, even in teasing, unless someone proves themselves undiserving.

I  may be misreading or projecting.
But I'm curious.
Why here? Why now?
And perhaps...
How long have they known?

Indicible:
For some reason, Spookybot has the same voice as Farscape's Scorpius in my mind. And it is awesome.
