hot take: stop drawing your favorite meatshield main characters as lean lanky little homogenized butches. your gideons nav and your muderbots and your csorwes should be square and fat like a mountain of cinderblocks. can’t knock that bitch over with a bucket of water. she/it will pick you up like you are a bundle of sticks to put on the fire. if you need your door replaced, they should be able to stand in the empty frame to block the cold cold wind for you until home depot gets there with the new door. need a jar opened? they will smash it against their thick, impenetrable skull and decant its contents into a container with a more accessible lid situation. they are your new weighted and also heated blanket. they are your cat litter hauler. they are built like a brutalist municipial building or, perhaps, a dutch draft horse, and you should never mistake their complaining for actual disinterest in helping you all the time always.
