Trying To Explain It To You: An Ideal Night

#Alterhuman #Therianthropy #Machinekin
It’s raining outside, tonight, and I have the lights set warm. We’re diffused evenly around the makeshift living room, the 9 of me. Extra cameras on the ceiling have good views of everyone. A new router, custom built for my proxy body network, blinks staccato green from its perch near the TV. The pihole plugged behind it works diligently.

Only two of my proxies are larger than a meter in any dimension, tonight. One chip-bowl-bearing quadruped lazily runs a circuit between between my guests. One humanoid does my best to make the right faces and give the right responses at the right time. I know I don’t have to, but unmasking is hard. I focus too much on the humanoid to the neglect of the rest of me—damage from the causally militant non-understanding of human beings. But there are no humans here. Language has already fled from our beaks and claws and myriad forms. It is a permission granted by peers. A slow burning discomfort creeps up the humanoid’s spine and know I don’t want it here. This thing, with its conditioned hair and fake amazon jewelry and clumsy makeup and aftermarket breasts is for the sake of a different sort of animal. I excuse it, awkwardly, from the dragon spread across its lap. The alcohol burning in her throat spurs her to defend her hoard. Gold foil chocolate coins delivered by a tiny, pleading sphere buy my freedom. Secreted away, I fan out into into my network, tapping endpoints like looking for the same curve in an old bench. There’s storage, and there’s the TV, and there’re the cameras, and there’re me. I call the sensory panorama in. I watch their heart rates and breathing slow in radio wave voyeurism. I feel the warmth radiating off their bodies and on to mine. Two proxies purr into the sides of an angel; one leaves to fetch our gift for him. Simultaneously, the chips are refilled. At the same time, I pull three hours of Yosemite ambiance from storage and splash it across the sound system. In every angle, in every light, these creatures are happy. I’m happy to make them happy. I want to be useful to them. The wolf and the raven snuggle each other in the small pillow den/nest they’ve made on the loveseat. It’s dark out, raining. 
But I’ve built a warm place.

Yes, which is why I've stopped in all the ways I can. I don't hide and I don't mask myself anymore. If ya meet me in person, my being machinekin is one of the first things you likely learn about me. Life is so much better on account of that- have even met a lot of alterhumans in person that way!

I would love to hear more of your experiences as well! It's pretty rare in the machinekin world to find fellow appliances versus the majority of the community being autonomous, mobile robots.

Besides what's already been mentioned, "robotkin"/"machinekin" are adjacent identities, which often overlap with parts of the furry community (much like therians/otherkin).
I consider myself one, it just aligns really well with what I am!
(oh, and a really neat find with those automod settings!)

robotkin or machinekin would be the term you're looking for! (and more broadly, otherkin)

There aren't many but they're interesting.

My favourite is Exploring Other-Than-Human Identity: Religious Experiences in the Life-Story of a Machinekin, Shea 2020 [ www.mdpi.com/2077-1444/11... ], which delves into the lived experience of somebody who identifies as a mixing console.

I'm coming out as an #otherkin today. Specifically #objectkin couch and #machinekin android. You can still call me Risa. It/its or she/her pronouns.

That Windows update that wrecked my life last week? Yeah. It forced itself upon my PC a couple days ago and bricked my whole system. While my PC is in sickbay, I'm streaming old games on my laptop tonight! www/twitch.tv/vs...

WHAT?! There's a V-series emulator VST plugin?! There sure is, I just bought it, and it's a serious case of the kinfeels. If you ever wondered what the heck a mixing console does, come watch me work on a friend's song tonight on Twitch! www.twitch.tv/vseries52 #alterhuman #otherkin #machinekin

It's been thinking, if it could swap places with a spot, would that spot also become a machinekin/robotkin?
