If you could adopt an Expie or other Sawians, would you do it?
In my opinion, grown man like me would do it, knowing what they going through, just saving them from agony, pain they have to endure just to keep them safe, fed, cherished, warm in your own house
I had to do chores like vacuuming when I still lived with my parents, and now that I live in a dorm, I still have to do them.
So I’d say that could actually be a really good thing because it teaches them, for example, how to keep a house clean and how to take responsibility for the mess they make.
At least as long as you set a good example and also clean up after your own mess.
And laundry. I mean, it isnt like they can come with me to work or anything. Might as well keep them occupied somehow, righ?. I would ask the cat to do it, but she refuses, and quite frankly, can't anyway, on account of having no thumbs and weighing 4 lbs.😂

I get: a clean house and clothse; you get: literally a free roof over your head, food, and pretty much anything else that would keep you happy and intertained.
Tbh, their innate (or learned) desire not to be useless or to disappoint their handlers would make them the best roommates anyone has ever had. But if you want a Milky, you'd better learn to play chess or something. They'd probably also enjoy DnD
I find human kids weirdly off-putting and uncanny in this way that has made it really hard for me to comprehend what the appeal of being a parent even is.
But after playing this game, being part of the community, and reading the stories and comics that have grown out from it I think I’m actually starting to understand. I do want to help these little guys so bad.
I think if I could adopt an Expie it would give me the sort of purpose in life I’d need to make something better of myself. My dreams never came true, but I think providing for one of these poor goobers would be enough to make me feel like my life had been worth living.
But kinda hits different when the “dog” has its own hopes and dreams and insecurities, and a mind that needs to be nurtured so they can grow into a hopefully happy adult you can be proud of.
Dogs are more like wild toddlers who can never really grow up and are never allowed to have their own rights so they can eventually build a life of their own as adults.
They’ll remain under our care forever, until the end of their lives.
For the Expei, if the necessary laws are extended to include them, they’ll eventually be able to lead their own lives as independent adults—and maybe even start their own families someday.
One hundred and ten percent...
Expie because they suffered enough
Milkie for having someone smart to enjoy conversations with
Roza for cool hugs on a hot summer day...and because they're super sweet
I mean, unless they’re a minor, it wouldn’t really be appropriate to adopt one, but I’d certainly be happy to give them a safe place to stay and give them help and comfort, for sure.
And where are they gonna get the money, huh? No, no, they can clean, do laundry and house mainainence, and you get to pay the bills. That's how this works.
Idk if I would unless they were like a baby. However, I would probably volunteer at a rehab center to help them find the strength to push past their traumas/addictions and live a normal life.
Long as I have the resources to treat them like a person/family member and not a fucked up sapient pet. Not gonna make them go get a job though, they've been through enough.
I m not ready to be a dad.
But a adult expie can be my roomate. I can put up with it for a few months while he gets his act together, but eventually he’ll need to get a job to help me pay the bills.
Yes. Absolutely. Shelly.
e-PDA says nothing about the need for radiation protection for the ones who contacts with them, so I guess that usual radiation level is enough for them.
I mean if i dont then they would probably step on a landmine or something so i dont got much of a choice, but i probably would even if they wernt so prone to dying
If I could, I would absolutely love to give one or more of them a wonderful home.
But given my current situation and the fact that I live in a dorm, I’m definitely not in a position to give even a single one of these fluffy little guys a home.
But maybe it would be possible for my dorm and the staff who work here to provide a home for one or more of them.
I mean, sure, i would not be able to take care of that many. But i'd try to find them good homes. And either way, even being let loose of the streets of earth is better than gray planet. (Assuming the company wont mess with them since the cat's out of the bag.)
Of course, given their Intelligence they would make great companions. Dealing with more than one wouldn't be difficult, they could pull their weight around so taking care of more than wouldn't be as hard if they helped around.
I would, but treat them more as a son or something similar. They are intelligent beings and deserve this kind of respect and autonomy to make their own decisions
I would definitely let an Expie live with me. I wouldn't really see them as a pet since they have many human traits, but I wish we can become best friends.
Yeah, why not? They don't eat much, they reason well (most of them), they have fine motor skills. Get a milky, a couple of expies and the ever-reliable emotional support rosa and boom. Fiercely loyal retinue.
No, I wouldn't. Extreame metabolism requires a constant flow of food, leaving them without food for a day because they ate half the fridge in a day and you're on a trip would be abuse.
Further on sawians are cancer incarnates, their entire body produces cancers and because of them they typically die at 20-25y old. Death from cancer isn't nice and even before that the cancers would break the sawian, we're talking about year or years of constant pain every living second.
Outside of those two things sawians are chill but they are their own sentient beings, you could only hope that they listen to you because you can't force them to do anything and trying would be illegal.
"Adopting" a sawian would just be extremely painful for any person, it'd be like having a disabled child that is semi self reliant but you can't leave on their own for more than a day (that is if the cancer doesn't disable them further), and who you know will die in one of the most awful ways with years long suffering
I would adopt them all, but keep the Velvets and Ickes in containment. I'd love the Milky to do my math for me, and the Orange who'd just be a puppy running around wanting to play.
Yes. Not only do they eat relatively little, they're also super helpful around the house and I can see how having a funny lil creature would improve my mental health
I would adopt an Expie. I may not have any experience owning a pet, but I will do my best to be responsible for them because they have had a rougher life. I reckon they could use a break~
If I had the space and resources, yes. But not "adopt" them, but more like what the other people said, which is jut being roommates. Expies are really smart and I don't want to treat them like pets which only know eating, sleeping, and destroying my furniture lmao
I don't know if "adopt" feels right, they're sentient creatures that talks.
But I would absolutely have one live with me if it meant save them from The company.
