--- Quote from: Neko_Ali on 23 Jan 2019, 06:58 ---Sorry for a second post, but I've been stewing on my thoughts about the current story line for a while now. I already published a book about Spooky, now for my thoughts on Roko....

No thank you, your 'books' are mirroring my thoughts exactly. I couldn't have said it better myself.
1. I get the same vibe from spookybot.
2. Although I'm (as you said) unaware of the 'feeling' of being transgender, I do feel like Roko's experience is more like an amputee's perspective than a transgender (in the exact way you said). It's the difference between it being healthy (and possible) to change or adapt your body versus needing to come to term with a change. In any semi-permanent ailment (I work with Parkinson's patients myself) acceptance is a difficult but necessary road to go through. After that you can start on "working on what you've got" (in a positive sense). Seeing what you can still do and adapt to make your life more like your own.
I could potentially even see some of the amputee type of therapy (especially around phantom pains for example) working here.
That's essentially retraining your brain's internal connections to adjust to your new body. (More so than just your emotional state, literally rewiring your brain to get used to the new inputs and how to process those)

John deLancie, of course.

If memory serves, he voices not only Q, but Discord as well, yes?

Indeed he does.
However, my mental voice for Spookybot is more higher-pitched but with serpentine aspects (drawn out 's' sounds) and a bit too smooth and calculated to sound entirely sincere.
zisraelsen:
Very small detail, but that little loopdy hand motion seems to be a trademark of spooky's because they did it in the comic i posted yesterday too. Even superhuman hive minds develop idiosyncrasies, i guess.
Stoutfellow:
It may be worth noting that Roko's specific worry echoes Bubbles, after learning that her memories were gone: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3408.
