Fine whatever. Here's my funny hcs for elec snake and plant bc those r the bots I want carnally. Haven't written anything like this in actual Years so it might be a bit rough 👍 just enjoy them ig
Again this is like.... All based on the idea they can eat and get sick and etc. Just because. Wouldn't it be funny if this weird metal guy could eat and burp.
Snake
Cold, pragmatic and cynical. This guy isn't ashamed of most bodily functions, and rarely apologizes after a loud belch.
Well, actually, it depends on the company - if he's among friends, people he's comfortable with, he won't bother covering them up at all. If he's among people he doesn't know very well, he'll apologize politely about it. Still lets them out, sure, but he's not a complete jackass.
His stomach is tough, what with his diet consisting of whatever the fuck he can survive on while working. I'm convinced it can eat through steel, if it has to. Very hard to upset, but not impossible.
Due to being snake themed, he should be able to eat quite a lot. Not like, a cartoonish amount of food that leaves behind an unrealistic bulge, but he'll go for thirds and fourths - maybe fifths - on a good day.
And when he's full, his belly gets *loud*. Like, "drowning out a movie if the volume is low enough" loud. He thinks nothing of it - he's not ashamed or proud, it's natural. Belly rubs after eating can churn out even louder gurgles, making him chuckle softly. He has to admit they're quite amusing.
Snake also takes the longest to notice something's wrong with his guts. Usually, he's so focused on his job that everything else gets tuned out - it takes an especially sharp pain to snap him back into reality.
If he's unwell, it's unusual for him to keep working. "Working through it" is useless to him, since he can't focus on a mission at all. He knows better than to let himself suffer for something that isn't worth it. This also means he won't mourn for a day lost in bed or hovering over the toilet - it wouldn't help anyone to walk around sick and bloated.
Won't hesitate to ask for help, but only if he needs to. He won't turn down an offer for tummy rubs, but he'll only actively seek them out if he can't take care of himself.
Likes cuddles and general warmth, especially after a particularly large meal. Again, snake themed and all. It helps him digest, and lulls him into a comfortable, sated sleep.
He doesn't show it because it's not in his nature, but he likes to be pampered. A lot.
Plant
Oh so shy and sweet… This guy will turn beet red if his stomach so much as burbles when he's with company, so you can imagine how embarrassing burping is for him.
Plant man can be described as a "reverse vegan", i guess. As in, he'll only eat animal-based foods - like meat, milk, and eggs. Literally just because it'd be funny as fuck. His stomach is very active after any meal, which embarrasses him even more.
Due to his diet, he gets full and sleepy fast. All those steaks will make your stomach work overtime, sapping your energy all at once.
Has to take a nap after lunch, or else he'd lose an entire day's work. It's easy to get him bloated and burpy if his meal hasn't had time to digest properly, and his mood tends to sour when he's sick without relief - overall, not a good situation for anyone involved.
His stomach is more delicate than Snake's, but still pretty tough. He'll handle dairy and heavier meals well, if only for the energy drop mentioned earlier.
Still, he's a picky eater, and prefers his food prepared in a specific way. Not that he'll complain if he has to eat something different (as long as it follows his dietary restrictions), since he doesn't want to be rude. His stomach will clench and gurgle around the dishes it's not used to, however - serving only to embarrass him for not speaking up.
Honestly, Plant is quite needy. If he's with someone that's earned his trust, he'll ask them to rub his stomach to help it process all the heavy food he's eaten throughout the day.
If he's feeling sick, he'll still try to force himself to work - his garden needs him, after all. But, as mentioned previously, he doesn't last long in the field with a bellyache.
If you try talking him out of work, he might snap at first, but don't hold it against him. Feeling off in any sort of way makes him annoyed and exhausted, he needs to be handled with care. It doesn't take long to convince him to rest, as long as you promise someone else will take care of his duties. Once he's feeling better, he'll apologize profusely for being a jerk.
He loves cuddles when sick, in fact, he needs it. Feeling safe, warm and comfortable helps him relax, making it easier for his stomach to do what it needs to. Likes being the little spoon, but also cuddling belly to belly, so to speak. It warms his tummy and feels great.
His stomach is not the noisiest, but the gurgles are wetter, whinier. You can hear liquid, sloshy burbles if you were to press your ear to his belly, since it looks and works a lot like a pitcher plant. It's so wet and humid in there…
Elec
Oh, delicate stomach, through and through. Also has a noisy stomach that makes him gassy and bloated when upset, and is extremely embarrassed to betray his image because of some tummy trouble.
He's very picky about his meals, and rarely ever eats something that might upset his insides. He likes to play it safe with comfort foods, but that luxury isn't always viable.
He'll work himself to death before skipping work, though. His role in power plants is genuinely important, and he knows his absence will affect the workplace. No - if he's needed, he'll be there. His stomach can whine and gurgle all it wants, he'd rather embarrass himself.
Of course, it's not always his decision. He's gotten bellyaches that left him immobilized before. All because he didn't allow himself to lay down and rest, and now the pain is 20 times worse than before. Hes had to be carried out, bridal style, multiple times. He doesn't like remembering those instances in the slightest.
Prefers taking medicine instead of seeking help, and will often downplay his symptoms before accepting any. Stubborn and self centered bastard he is. Of course, if you poke and prod enough, he'll eventually resign.
He says it's only to shut you up, but honestly, he does like being taken care of. It's funny, you'd expect him to love the attention, but he's pretty meek under the magnifying lens of a caretaker. Let the man keep some dignity, please. Not that he's ever had any.
Once you've got him right where you want him - head on your lap, little spoon, head on his chest as you massage his stomach - he calms down. He forgets just how good it feels to be held in this manner, but his pride always gets the best of him.
His stomach pains can get pretty severe, as you've probably guessed. He's woken up to the feeling of being stabbed in his guts before, after going to sleep with an upset stomach.
His burps are airy and strained, sounding like he's getting little to no relief from them. With patience and care, you can knead some longer, more productive bubbles from the depths of his stomach, but the organ can be just as stubborn as the person it's attached to.
His stomach isn't very loud, not usually. Little burbles and whines are all you'll hear, and if it's upset, the noises will only really ramp up in volume, but not change all that much otherwise.
