    Awwwww. I’m glad he’s okay. Those two are adorable.

    (How is it that the robot couples are the cutest couples)

      I know, right? Although I have to say Remy and Unity made an awfully cute couple.

      Truly it is the purest form of love.

      You have to be careful with this kind of stuff in this crowd. Someone here is probably capable of building a flux capacitor (if they haven’t done so already.)

    Hitty is too large for your puny pronouns.

      She and Lota can start a club.

        I now totally ship Hitty and LOTA.

    I thought Hitty was consistent with pronouns – if a pronoun would go somewhere, she doesn’t use it. Being consistent in how she uses 1st and 3rd person forms of verbs is another matter.

    How do I possibly explain to anyone that a flying robot in a chef’s toque brought me to tears when it said “not destroy” because it fell in love with an animated water cooler?

      The Narboniverse is sort of hard to explain to anyone, isn’t it?

        The only way to understand it is to go to the archives and read it from the beginning – it’s too much to ever hope to explain.

      The weirdness just sort of creeps up on you, so you understand everything that’s going on. And then you take a step back and say “wait a minute”…

      You say that a character brought you to tears because it decided not to destroy because it fell in love with another character. The bones of the most powerful stories are all the same; no need to mention the crazed patchwork of flesh (and steel, and polymers, and who knows what) covering this one. 🙂

    The power of love is a curious thing…

    The power of love is a furious thing.
    Take a cobra hug, take a Killotron swing.
    Fall apart, isn’t so unheard of.
    Pretty revealing…that’s the power of love.

    Adding the pronouns, self-esteem,
    Longer and farther makes it what it seems.
    Like it really should, mmm, make a long fight.
    Power of love will make you real uptight.

    It’s not funny, it’s so lame,
    Something to dread it hard and leave blood stains.
    It’s wrong and it’s bloody and it’s cool sometimes,
    But it might just lead to strife.
    Virginia’s power of love,
    Virginia’s power of love.

    First time they do it, they might feel so bad.
    Next time they do it they might feel so glad.
    But they’ll be sad, baby, there’s no middle ground.
    That’s the power that gets them pushed around.

    It’s not funny, it’s so lame,
    Something to dread it hard and leave blood stains.
    It’s wrong and it’s bloody and it’s cool sometimes,
    But it might just lead to strife.
    Virginia’s power of love,
    Virginia’s power of love

    It’s said that friggin’ love ain’t fair.
    Yeah, but should they care?
    Do they know what to do?
    Can they all see it through?
    And with a little push-comes-to-shove,
    You’ve got the power of love,
    You’ve got the power of love.
    Can you dig it?

    It’s not funny, it’s so lame,
    Something to dread it hard and leave blood stains.
    It gives new pronouns and seems a big deal,
    It seems real yet so surreal.
    That’s the power, that’s the power of love,
    Virginia’s power of love,
    Virginia’s power of love,
    Virginia’s power of love…

    —from “The Power of Love,” Huey Lewis and the News. (I suppose it was inevitable.)
