She/her/hers, it/its. 18+, MDNI. Trans woman, but more importantly, complete idiot.

Razer, which was one of the greatest ever Robot Wars contests, using its hooked, crushing beak to lift Robochicken, which, er, wasn't.
A bottle of IRN-BRU 1901, a neon orange soft drink made in Scotland. The 1901 edition is sold in glass bottles and uses the traditional, pre-sugar tax recipe, as God and nature intended.
Giant concrete sound mirrors at Romney Marshes. These were how people in WW2 detected incoming aircraft before the advent of radar.
Hypno-Disc, a competitor from the original 90s run of Robot Wars. It is a boxy-looking machine made from aluminium with a giant rotating disc on the front. The disc is silver with a black spiral painted on top, and has large red teeth. The robot also has little pointy spikes on top, because it is from the 90s. Just behind the disc is a small arm that makes the whole thing look like a record turntable; this is a self-righting mechanism, or srimech, that turns the robot the right way up if it is flipped over.
Two black, angular robots sit back to front, looking a bit like the battery pack for a cheap mobility scooter. Each has a silvery-grey arm that runs from the top down over the front of the bot like the noseguard on a Greek helmet. They are on a scuffed, pale gray wooden floor next to a section marked with large yellow and black hazard stripes. This is the Classic Robot Wars contestant Gemini, which was two flipper-armed robots connected by a magnet. When the fight started, the magnet turned off, and the robots could separate and act independently of each other, using their flippers to gang up on other machines and occasionally even hoist them out of the arena. It was the first true cluster bot on the show, and probably the most successful.
"Yes, I licked the screen. I'm not lying nor denying it." Each sentence is accompanied by a picture of an anime girl with greyish hair. I don't know who it is. Probably one of the innumerable waifus shat out by the Hoyoverse.
A smallish black cat, comfortably asleep in a loaf position on a soft grey rug. His name is Bink; more accurately, his name is Binx, like the cat in Hocus Pocus, but he is too small to contain multiple Binx, and therefore he is Bink.
A nonbinary person, angry at being condescended to by a utilities company advert, is biting a pair of knitting needles in their mouth out of frustration. They are knitting a scarf out of pink wool, and are under a thick green blanket.
