speaking of other old OCs of mine I had one character who was a genius inventor kid type. I'm just going through my old files now and it turns out I wrote them, unintentionally as like, super enby and/or ace as hell? Like the character did NOT relate to other people all that well. Didn't HATE them, didin't wish anybody else harm at all, hated the thought of making weapons knowingly or otherwise... but never felt much affection for 'em. Machines/robots tho? Genuine affection for them.
