A question thread for toy friends:

What does being a toy mean to you?

@starkatt For me it's a specific take on being synthetic/artificial. A lot of our narratives around synthetic beings is that they're either subjugated or subjugating; worker-drones or killbots. 'Play', the ideal mode of interacting with toys (including standard orthocosmic non-animate ones) is neither of those. A toy isn't in charge of you, but a good owner also doesn't exploit or abuse their toys. What's expected of toys is that they be comfortable and nice to be around.
