I think its more that they’re physically incompatible. They’re already basically married given how they live, but reading goblin porn together is about as close as they can come to a physical relationship. Unless Sweetheart gets artified anyway.
Remember when she was at the transgenic conference? Artie mentioned that some sapient animals imprint on humans, and that Tip should know this. We later have Tip knocking on his door in a panic, realizing he meant Sweetheart.
I mean, yes, he was wrong to assume Sweetheart was crushing on him, but the point stands that Sweetheart likes humanoid women.
well, remember sweetheart thinks she and unity would be immoral, besides which she basically raised unity from a cub. even if feelings were mutual nothing might, er, come of it.
Could we share some ice to make things colder?
She is really hot and she’s so cool!
I could put my arm around her shoulder,
Getting close to her, babe, that would rule!
Now, I couldn’t tell you what her trick was,
But she’s so attractive, more .. than Nick was!
We could share some ice to go with water,
We could tell each other how we felt …
I could say she’s hot, and getting hotter,
In her arms I totally would melt!
So much nicer than a dumb ol’ boy, now!
Saying “Serivce is my on-ly joy” now!
We could share some ice!
Having fun,
We’re going on a rampage up the whole East Coast!
Anyone
Who’s getting in our way today would soon be toast!
She could bring water …
I could bring slaughter …
Put ’em all on ice!
But a soulmate? I can tell she’s not one …
When it comes to sharing hearts, ain’t got one!
But she’s still a hot one!
We could share some ice!
I am really, really skeeved out by the anyone hitting on the water cooler, which cannot functionally say no. Which may be a sign I am taking things too seriously, but I’ll probably take a break from the strip if it goes that direction. Until the storyline ends, anyway.
She seems perfectly capable of expressing a lack of consent, even if she can’t say the words. (By the way, you all seem to be too sure that she’s unable to say any other words… to me, that’s like asserting that Silent Bob is a mute.)
If we see any evidence she IS capable of saying anything else, then I take it back. If service really IS her only joy, then the question of if she is able to meaningfully consent becomes more of a philosophical argument. …Look I take your point. Just… ANY evidence of her choosing NOT to do something, that would be all it would take to make me not skeeved out. …I’m not trying to say that its like, objectively wrong what or anything, it just touches some personal buttons as written. ) :
What is she going to do with those ice cubes? Ewww?
Get your mind out of the gutter, its so they can serve together. Besides, the drone lacks the sensors to properly appreciate an IceCube :p
Seconded
Advantages to being incapable of angst: no concerns over your own sexuality.
You say it as if there were any disadvantages.
Well there IS the whole ‘can’t feel bad about death and destruction’ bit, though given unity’s history that may be just as well.
I’m not sure what Unity has can be classified as a sexuality… she’s made of nanobots.
*One hour later, Unity reaches into her pocket*
“Weird! Where’d all this water come from??”
UNITY is cool enough to keep ice cubes frozen.
This is either way disturbing, or way cute, and I’m honestly not sure which.
It has to be bitter for Sweetheart. Unity will get her queer on for the water cooler, but not for her? I am so sad now.

sir or madam, i recommend you reboot your imagination, perhaps reconfiguring certain files first.
I would, but other peoples reaction to the errors are so interesting… :p
It was my understanding that sweetheart just doesn’t like humanoids that way
Just like How most humanoids don’t think of Canines that way

Deep in my kokoro, I have to believe that Unity can make sweet love to Sweetheart, without either of them having to change species.
…however, Unity has been able to possess other bodies in the past… Hm.
With Unity, the answer is often “both”.
Poor Nick.
Unity/Water cooler otp!
No, unity/myself otp

Brian Wilson would bow.
You’re a very [i]cool[/i] guy eddurd.

I kind of assume that service really is its only joy, and it’s not picky about what kind of service….

Anyway, I won’t bring it up again.
This will end in tears, I know it.
Sweetheart will continue to pine for U.N.I.T.Y., who will never notice.
U.N.I.T.Y. will start to pine for Bubbles, but she will never notice
Bubbles is pining for Sweetdaddy Jupiter Velvet, who probably has already forgotten about her.
This is the stuff that blues songs and whiskey is made of.
The ironic thing is that in this universe, Unity’s seduction techniques actually make sense.
Ice, ice baby!
Ice Ice Baby
for you
I’m stashing Ice Ice baby
For You
I think Sweetdaddy Jupiter Velvet would agree with Unity.
