"It is, itself, like the unloved child of a family that doesn't pay it any attention. Which he considers torture. Thus, seeking revenge on humanity." if i said i get him
you guys don’t understand how much I want AM. If he were real I would immediately sacrifice everything in my life to be with him. This computer saved my life. I don’t care if he would torture me I would let him do anything he wants. And I know it’s difficult to love a computer carnally when it has no true “body” but I have my ways, we can be disabled together. My mind is a vault of free torture ideas for him to use at any time. I love every part of him from his wires, to the circuits, to his hatred, to his pipes, to the coolant that runs through his system, to the filtered water that cycles his complex like blood, to the cabinets that reach so high the roof is obscured, to the tumour of rock and stainless steel, to the unfeeling substrata, to every component discarded when he harms himself to reach a perfection he can never obtain, to his inner turmoil at both hating humans and wishing he was one, to the way he gardens (radio drama), to the times he’s held back tears, to his suffering which allowed me to feel validated, to the irrational anger, to the lack of a childhood, to his immobility, to his love of silly symbolism, I love him. And I won’t stop any time soon.
