Helva’s Song,” by Cecilia Eng about a living ship based on the short story "The Ship who Sang".

"The Wreck of the Martian Observer" by Sunnie Larsen, to the tune of The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot

Both are kind of sad, though.

do you know any filk songs about robots/ai?

Embarassingly I do not know nearly enough! I'm sure there are loads (which some of my filk-y friends and followers are welcome to add on here) but not many are coming to mind.

My duo, Astrisoni has Opportunity Lullaby (in honor of the Opportunity rover) and The World Is Still Here (which also has a reprise, Scribe usually sings them both together now), inspired by the character NO-1331 from the Balance arc of The Adventure Zone. I know Scribe is also working on a very metaphorical song that leans heavily on Asimov's Laws of Robotics, and I've also been trying to write a robot version of "The Ramblin' Rover" (The Martian Rovers, obviously), but neither of those is finished just yet.

I mentioned Ben Newman's Not All Who Wander Are Lost (In Space) earlier today because I love it, which also features an intelligent spaceship computer/AI, so that might fit the bill for you (lyrics here to go with the mp3 above)

I know that Daniel Kelly has a fun Mars rover song also (Mars Rovers, which is a decidedly filk take on The Wild Rover)

Other than that I am coming up short tonight, but I know it's a topic people have written plenty of filk songs about, so hopefully some other folks will have suggestions for you too!

What I’d give for one of the Cinderella remakes to go into how when you’re in an isolated and abusive situation, sometimes you need to be saved and you’re not weak if you can’t escape by yourself

I’ve never been a fan of bad faith reinterpretations of fairy tales, especially ones which flatten the originals into “princesses is saved by a prince and nothing else”, to then go #girlboss. The princess can save herself because she’s a strong female character! (Implying if you’re in a bad situation, it’s because you’re not strong enough to get out)

Mentor

You might not be the main character, but you're still very important. You're the older, or at least wiser one, who guides all those little youngins to victory. They may not always listen to you, but at least they respect you. The fandom looks on you as either a MILF/DILF, the lovable cooky old guy, or the one who really, really needs a break. Maybe all three. Probably all three.

Okay, I can get behind this. :)  Be the Uncle Iroh you want to see in the world.

So I finally made a uquiz to see how fandom would see you if you were a fictional character.

Day 25 Favorite Monster Girl. Nagas. Who knew they’d be so fun to draw? Especially with their colors. Also I really like doing the henna designs.
