#And a DEVIANT Android egg

[falsesecuritysketches]

The design has been updated and I am making the Tamagochi's openable shaker keychains! All 3 designs will include their own accessories, and since you can open it, you can mix it up to your liking!

The egg is designed off CyberLife aesthetic and the front + back of android heads. Instead of changing the entire shell, I've opted to only change the inside (which you will only see when you open the egg) and the icons according to character.

Pre-orders will be open as soon as the samples are approved!

DBH Headcanons: Getting Your Wisdom Teeth Removed

Connor, RK900, Markus, Simon, and Gavin x gn!reader

Some headcanons about what it would be like to be taken care of by some of the characters of Detroit: Become Human while recovering from getting your wisdom teeth removed. Inspired by, well, getting my wisdom teeth removed.

[A/N]: I got my wisdom teeth out a while back and it honestly wasn't as bad as I'd heard from other people. My mouth tasted funny for a while, though.

Connor:

Chances are, you’ve already briefed him on your wisdom teeth procedure and everything that happens before and after

By the time the actual surgery rolls around, he’s downloaded every bit of information about pre-op and post-op

And he’s not going to hesitate to bother you remind you about everything

“Don’t forget to wear comfortable shoes and clothing.” “Y/N, you can’t have any food or water 8 hours before the surgery.” “Y/N, please refrain from strenuous exercise in the 24 hours before your surgery.”

When you come out of surgery loopy on anesthesia, he sits with you in recovery and tries to talk you through it (even though you don’t remember a lick of what either of you said)

I’d say he’s a mother hen post-op, but more like a worrywart type

He’d buy all kinds of liquid foods for you and is constantly asking about your pain levels

Gets a lot of weird looks in the supermarket while he’s checking out the soup aisle

“That’s not a domestic android I’ve ever seen…”

He’s definitely on top of your antibiotics schedule, and if you need it, pain meds

Makes sure you’re regularly irrigating the wounds if you need it 

If you’re ever worried or insecure about swelling and discomfort post-op, Connor is there to smother you in kisses

Nines:

As a deviant, he isn’t as much of a mother hen as Connor, probably because he’s more self-assured in his ability to take care of you as well as your ability to take care of yourself when you can

He wouldn’t hover as much as Connor but he’d definitely download information about the procedure before you go

Coming out of the operation, you knock out again for a bit in recovery and Nines insists on staying with you, covering you with his jacket and letting you rest your head on his shoulder

If Connor got weird looks while in the supermarket buying things for you and picking up your prescriptions, Nines sticks out like a sore thumb

Like he’s clearly not a domestic/service android so he confuses a lot of shoppers and employees as he browses the aisles and fills his basket with cans of soup, oats, and ice cream

“Why on earth is a police investigator android buying soup on a Friday morning?”

If you’re in pain, he’ll do everything to comfort you

Pain meds, ice cream, cuddles, your comfort movies and shows, anything for you

He doesn’t seem outwardly clingy or affectionate but he’s such a softy

Markus:

This obviously isn’t his first rodeo

If you’re scared going into the surgery, he’s with you all the way until the nurses put you to sleep

Cruises through post-op no matter what state you’re in due to the sedative

At home, he’s got you covered

No need to break out the cans of mush—he’s got you covered with homemade soups, the softest scrambled eggs you’ve ever had, soft pasta dishes, you name it

With Markus, you’ll never miss a dose of antibiotics

If you’re in pain, worry not

Markus has your pain meds, blankets, and infinite cuddles

He’ll have your favorite flavors of ice cream on hand

Straight out of the tub if you feel so inclined

Simon:

He might not be a caregiver like Markus but he was once a domestic and childcare android

Calms your nerves going into the operation and when you’re all woozy post-op he’s right by your side

Coming out of the operation, it doesn’t matter if you look like if Alvin the Chipmunk got into a fistfight and lost—Simon’s there to shower you in kisses and envelop you in hugs

Like Markus, you’ll never have to worry about the liquid and soft food diet

If the pain’s too much, Simon will be your arms and legs for the time being

He’s a wizard with chores and errands

It’s like you never even got your wisdom teeth out

Gavin:

Would totally take off work to help you recover

Which, given how competitive he is at work, would probably seem like an anomaly to his coworkers

“I’ve never seen Reed take off for more than a day or two at a time. Shit, he’d come into work sick so long as he wasn’t actively dying,” Says Tina

“I’ve had to wrangle that fucker into his car more times than I can count to prevent him from coming into work injured,” Grumbles Fowler

“Hopefully he’ll take this time to rest as well as take care of someone else.”

Would record the stuff you say coming out of sedative in post-op for the memories (and for you both to laugh at when you recover)

I don’t see him being as great of a cook as Markus or Simon, but he’s definitely able to cook to support himself and you

Of course, he’d get you all the ice cream you want

He knows what it feels like to be in pain and cranky so he does everything he can to either comfort you or give you space to get through it

If you wanted it, he’d cuddle with you while you spend the day reading or watching your comfort shows and sipping on smoothies (no straws allowed, of course)

To anyone getting their wisdom teeth out soon, good luck! To anyone recovering from the surgery, feel better soon! Hope you enjoyed reading this silly little compilation of HCs! See you next time x

It'd be a completely different media and wouldn't work for a multiple-choice game, but both Hank and Connor would be in such a completely different light if it was Hank-POV narrative.

You as a viewer would also think Connor is fucking annoying and you'd feel like breaking his nose the first time he brings up complaining about you to your superior. Like wow what a fucking capitalist dystopian police state is that where a fucking robot threatens you. And if he spills your drink? You fucking paid for it, and now it threatens that you'll have to pay for him too if you damage it? "Androids are there to serve humans" your ass, as far as you can see it's humans who are serving androids and CyberLife. Regular humans who pay for android's existence with their jobs, taxes and loved ones who prefer androids to them. CyberLife is holding the whole country hostage by their fucking things, and you even heard that some of their robots go crazy and recently one of them took a literal hostage? A kid?? The FUCK, how does things like that even happen?

You wish Cyberlife would be at least held accountable, but well, you lived too long to believe that they ever will. You know it from your own personal experience. Even if CL was made to pay some financial compensations, how can it be ever enough to "compensate" for the loss of someone who is fucking dead now, and what does a fine do to a multibillion dollar corporation? No one gets punished, nothing is done to prevent it in the future. For CyberLife nothing is changed, but for the people they harmed — nothing will ever be the same again.

You get assigned to android cases, as if you give a shit. As if anyone at all gives a shit. As if investigating any of this shit matters, as if it'll lead to some changes or get someone punished for letting it happen. Now you're forced to look at countless examples of this corporation fucking people over without repercussions. You don't even care to open those reports, they just make you feel too angry and hopeless. If after all those examples of harm they can induce androids are still allowed to be produced and owned what's the fucking point of looking into those cases? What is it you're supposed to do about them anyway, lay an egg?

Okay, fuck, you were dragged into looking at them despite your will, and now you are kind of confused what to make of it. You know those fuckers are made to look human, they are even made to laugh and joke to win your sympathy. But still, those androids you see don't really give you an impression of being broken, instead they look...

Maybe that's a stupid idea. And yet it won't leave you alone. It makes you angry because you genuinely don't know if you're just being a gullible fool or you're onto something.

The android that was assigned to you acts like your typical office Joe, the kind of people who even before the invention of androids gave off the impression of not being quite human. The kind that speaks like they've read way too many positive thinking books about success. The kind that describes themselves as "goal oriented" in a casual conversation and suggests colleagues to have a pointless team-building meetings.

You hate those guys even in their human form, so when you first expressed to that plastic Joe a desire to throw a bunch of them in a dumpster you're not entirely sure whether you're talking about just androids or this specific type as a whole.

While all the deviants you see appear to be really human that just happened to be in a bad place at the wrong time and make you feel doubts, the plastic Joe makes you feel fooled again whenever you look at it. Sometimes it does something that fills you with doubts, but then it goes back to rambling on about its task. It gets on your nerves, you wish you could just get a solid evidence of whether or not this thing feels something. You get real drunk and try to provoke it, to see if it'll react to a threat of death like other deviants you saw. It doesn't give you an explicit answer to your dilemma. You're left with your doubts on your own. Maybe this plastic Joe doesn't realise he's anything more than what he claims, or maybe he's perfectly aware and is just fucking with you. Maybe you just imagined a bunch of nonsense. Maybe that plastic Joe isn't like those other feeling androids you saw, and unlike them he's indeed exactly what he claims to be.

He gets killed right in front of your eyes. You can't help but feel bad -- after all, he still looks like a human and you feel like you "knew him" as a person in your life. Granted, one of the most annoying ones you ever met, but to even the most annoying Joes out there you don't actually wish death, even if sometimes you say you do.

You don't get to feel sad for long -- the next day the plastic Joe walks right back as if nothing happened, and ACTS as if nothing happened. It makes your blood boil and your eyes feel hot. It simultaneously makes you feel like a naive fool for ever bothering about it at all and like tearing it up with your own hands again so you wouldn't have to be next to it. Because you know you can't help but feel like it's a living person purely for how human-like it looks and acts, even when you know it's not.

Also it makes you think of how utterly unfair it is that something soulless can be brought back and keep "living" after a fatal accident as if nothing happened while so many actual and much more deserving people can't nor were ever given a chance. Nor ever will be.

It makes you even angrier to see how indifferent it acts to the fact of its own death, while you, a fool, felt like shit about it all this time and STILL feel like shit about it now. If you used to find yourself occasionally liking him before, whatever warm feeling you had are gone now that he's back after something that should have been a final stop. You can't stand looking at it, you wish to get as far away from it as possible, and yet you cannot stand the idea of it seeing it getting "killed" if front of your eyes again because you know that your human gut will twist all the same. But the way he acts, completely deprived of self-preservation instinct, as if at part intentionally trying to torture you, It just makes you hate him more. You try to grab him and stop him from what can potentially end in his destruction whenever you can. Not so much for his sake as for the peace of mind of your own.

The androids are marching on the streets chanting about being alive. They hijack a tv station and send their demands. If Connor didn't give you enough proofs to convince you, this finally does.

The question remains of whether all androids are just as the one you're stuck with. You spend the most time with it so, unintentionally, you project everything it does on all the rest of them. And if the only thing it reminds you of is this terrible nauseating injustice of the world that depresses you so much you already felt like disappearing from existence before you ever met and impunity of all those in power, maybe it's time for you to pull the plug already because there's nothing you want to see or stick around for anymore and only everything you hate that is left. And it will only ever gonna get worse, and you're too tired and helpless to do anything about it. And even if you weren't, perhaps it's just not worth it.

Summary: Androids and humans have different standards of beauty.

@hankcon-bingo

Hank's fingers trailed down Connor's throat, following the curving line to his collarbone. His Adam's apple rose and fell under Hank's gaze. Every detail on him had been lovingly crafted by someone. Every freckle and beauty mark, every dip and swell in his flesh, every careful striation in the brown of his eyes had been put there deliberately.

“You're beautiful,” Hank murmured, looking up at Connor. He was straddling Hank's lap, his shirt shucked halfway down his arms.

Connor's fingers dragged slowly through the hair across Hank's gut with equal reverence. “Not as beautiful as you,” he replied, his voice soft. Hank felt his cheek pull, dragging his mouth into a lopsided, self conscious grin. It was hard to get used to, being told by someone that looked like Connor that you were beautiful.

Androids were made beautiful, and they mostly stayed that way. To an android, perfection wasn't beauty, it was a design choice, one made for them and out of their control. Connor thought Hank was beautiful because he had grey hair and wrinkles and sagging skin and a paunch. Every human had their own unique combination of imperfections. To androids, who could share their faces and bodies with thousands of their model brethren, individuality was so much more valuable and beautiful than conventional attractiveness.

Hank let his fingers drift along the curve of Connor's collarbone. He let them linger over a spot beneath his shoulder. Connor had been shot, more than once, in the course of the revolution. The damage to his plastic shell had been repaired. His fancy composite synthskin had closed over it flawlessly.

“Yeah you are,” Hank replied. He stroked his thumb over the spot where he was sure there was a bulletwound. If he concentrated he though he could feel the slight flaw where the plastic had been moulded back together. “Take your skin off, I'll prove it.”

Connor's mouth opened to argue. He bared his hands when he had to, but he almost never bared his face.

Hank set his other hand against Connor's cheek, dragging his thumb over the defined ridge of a plastic cheekbone. “Trust me.”

Connor sighed, and that was another one of those deliberately designed features someone had taken great care when installing. Connor didn't breathe, but he still sounded like he sighed with a breath. His chest rose and fell under Hank's hand.

It was fascinating watching Connor's skin peel back. A thin line of blue light swept across him, chasing the peachy freckled skin away and leaving bare whites and greys beneath. His hair, his eyebrows, even his eyelashes disappeared.

But the dip in the centre of his chin remained, as did those achingly deep brown eyes. He was still Connor. Still beautiful.

Hank drew the square edge of the repair at Connor's shoulder with his fingertip. It had, originally, been a jagged hole, and in the weeks following the revolution it had been closed and patched to stop Connor leaking blue blood. Androids had self repair systems, but bulletholes were more than they'd ever been designed to cover.

The repairwork had been neat. A little square of plastic patchwork, sealed against Connor's shell, only distinguishable by the faint ridge around the edge, and the slightest difference in colour.

Hank had been there when Connor had received this wound. They'd been in the bowels of Cyberlife Tower, miles from help, and Connor's non-deviant doppelganger had done his best to stop the entire revolution. In the weeks afterwards Hank had suffered nightmares about shooting the wrong one. But he hadn't. Connor had made sure of it. He'd shown Hank who he was underneath, more than memories and mannerisms; Connor had a heart, and Hank had known him by it. He always would.

Hank's fingers trailed down the naked plastic of Connor's torso. He had more scarred plastic here, from wounds Hank hadn't seen him accrue. They were frightening; each one represented a chance for Hank to have lost him before he'd ever really found him. He traced their outlines with his fingertips.

“You're just as unique as any human,” Hank murmured, looking up to see Connor's eyes wide. The ridges where his brows would sit were lifted. The soft, malleable plastic of Connor's face was still expressive, even without the human facade.

Hank slid the hand cupping Connor's cheek around to the back of his neck and tugged, drawing him closer. Under his palm he could feel the strange mix of hard and soft plastic that made up Connor's jointed body. Hank closed his eyes, and pressed his mouth to Connor's lips. They felt the same against his own; soft, and pliant, and the tongue that slipped out to meet his was gentle and probing.

Hank murmured low in his throat as he pulled back to look deep into those soulful brown eyes. “Just as beautiful.”

Gavin: Tangerine & Shrimp pizza. (He likes shrimp and he likes the face people make when they see him eat this abomination.)

Daniel: Would opt not to eat anything at all to give Gavin a second option. (Or Tina, on those days when he and Gavin are in their arguing phase.) - Sorry, android boy, your fuel counts as food. - Thirium 311, then.

Tina: Cheesecake.

Chris: Spaghetti (and he'd argue that different sauces/toppings make it still the same dish every day.)

Susan: Kinder Egg. - Take this serious, please. - Chocolate covered cake, but I may still OPEN the eggs, even though I mustn't eat them anymore, yes?

Hank: Hamburger. But with a lettuce leaf for health reasons!

Connor: Why, thirium 310, of course! (Note/Headcanon: T-310 is the official store bought product, T-311 a cheaper, more readily available substitute product produced by the deviants).

Rika: Smoothies are food, correct?

if your oc could only eat one thing for the rest of their lives, what would they choose?

"Go on, then. No cheating."

"What constitutes cheating, Hank?"

They're stood at the front door, Hank's arms crossed and Connor's brows furrowed as he processes the situation; A human tradition. Easter egg hunting. Hank thought it would help him settle more into the whole 'living' idea, now that he's a loud and proud deviant.

"Using your freaky android powers, Robocop."

"Tell me, Hank, how on Earth I'd sense plastic eggs littered outside around your house."

"So you can't? Good. Go have fun before you drive me back to drink." Hank scoffs, giving a playful shove to get Connor started.

Giving an exasperated shake of his head, Connor does his due diligence in checking everywhere he can reach; Under the car, in drainage pipes… Until he hears a crunch from the bushes. The 'uh oh' from Hank, now moving from the door, tells him that very much isn't part of the game.

Following the source of the sound, Connor carefully parts the branches to find a very guilty looking Sumo, an extra pair of ears on his head and a broken plastic egg in his mouth.

"Jesus, Sumo…" Hank groans from over his shoulder, further grimacing when the android takes the slobbery thing from the little shit.

"Maybe he felt left out." Connor muses as he coaxes the dog out from his hising spot. "You'd think two pairs of ears would make him a better listener when you tell him to stay inside."

Hank chuckles at that. "Yeah… Sorry he ruined this, Con."

"Nothing's ruined!" Connor scolds playfully, crouching down to ruffle Sumo's head. "The more the merrier; Family do these kinds of things together, don't they?"

It's simple, but it hits Hank hard— Probably because of how simple the sentiment is. He cries in the bathroom, later that day, and hates how comforted he is when he feels perfectly warm arms surround him from behind.

"… Was it too much to say—?"

"No, no," Hank shakes his head, hands resting over the android's. "Well… maybe. But you were right. And I'll get used to it if I hear it right? Exposure therapy?"

Connor chuckled softly, head resting against the man's back. "Look at you, considering a kind of therapy. Big steps!"

"Oh, you can fuck off with that."

"I love you~"

"Fucking sap… Love you too, Con."

do i make a D:BH verse or 

[marcusrobertobaq]

It's just a bit weird to me seeing her breaking the wall like it's the first time ever. Makes you think that she's deviant only when we playing and everything before was just accumulated instability (and easter egg).

They say you reset a deviant and they will remember everything if exposed to triggers, so an android already deviant wouldn't need to break programming cuz it's already broken? But i guess everything happens so easily it kinda makes sense. Would be strange she always gotta break programming every time because she got reset and didn't "remember" anything but i'm fine - i doubt she doesn't get her memories in some form tho.

If the technician in the cyberlife store not only repair and resets her but also messes with her code to try "fixing" instability (what I think they don't) then EVERYTHING would make even more sense but still...ah 😮‍💨 she wouldn't break free that easily (?)

(everything I'm rambling here is about her time with Todd)

I guess i gonna throw the logic in trash can cuz she just built different. She's the game's real deal after all. She doesn't break the wall, she breaks my legs 🤣

Why she can't come back (if she stays still)? Todd just get tired of her or he suddenly ain't got money no more? Just throw her in the dumping site and let she get back like Markus Haha

Y'all were talking about Kara yesterday and i had to ask, this time no anon. I gonna drop a few points here and see if you catch the idea:

Kara gets beat up by Todd;

Her memories are always erased and body fixed;

Alice always save "her memories" of what happened through drawings;

Kara ALWAYS see what happened and gets instable;

Todd screw her up again;

See this as a loop for a couple of weeks.

Consider:

-> Instability is "cumulative";

-> An android when instable but then "die" the instability will drop but will not get erased;

Condition: Alice never loses her memories or never got them erased for real for some reason.

Now the ask:

Do you think what we saw with her in the game is only when she finally breaks that loop (deviates)?

Do you think what happened at Zlatko's already happened a couple of times with Todd?

I hope this answers it!

Disclaimer: I don’t play chess so please spare me how messy the chessboard is :P

Connor talking about Hank sharing the same birthday with Marquis de Lafayette was from my old birthday comic for Hank: Hero of Two Worlds. I just changed where/when and which in-game outcome it took place in.

I can’t believe I only knew Connor shares the same birthday with Napoleon recently, more than 4 years after the game released, and I’ve never seen anyone else talk about it. If it was me not paid enough attention to other ppl’s fanart or fanfics then missed anything similar, please believe this comic is just a coincidence.

Connor - Napoleon Bonaparte

Hank - Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette

BAAAHHH OKAY OKAY OKAY.

So I LOVE DBH, especially as a world setting; I just REALLY love sci-fi stories with androids in general, and the underlying “are they real because of sentience” theme really just has always been something I’ve loved as far back as my Sonic days when I wrote a whole world revolving around the in-universe robots. It’s just SO interesting, and I LOVE character studies as such, which this game does three-fold with three interesting protagonists and are affected by player choices with consequences. My favourite storyline, as y’all know, is the one of Hank and Connor, maybe because I can see a Sherlock-and-John-in-another-universe dynamic with them... WHICH is what prompted me to draw this LAST YEAR for Halloween, but it never got posted because I finished the Halloween pic (which I don’t think I’ll finish this year’s in time), so you’re getting my DBH AU pic instead. 

Y’all, I REALLY want to either read or write this AU SO bad. So Sherlock is the Android sent by Cyberlife to help the New Scotland Yard with solving the mysterious android-related homicides, and Lieutenant Jonothan “John” Watson is the alcoholic, depressed, suicidal Lieutenant assigned to the Deviant cases, and Sherlock is assigned as his partner. 

John was TOO perfect to not be in the Hank role: was once a great detective but fell off after death of his six year old daughter, turned to alcoholism and his wife Mary left him, and now he’s depressed / suicidal, and a smarmy robot comes into his life to help give him a reason to live again... Oh and because I wanted to give John a beard LOL.

Sherlock of course is in the Connor role who, through his exposure to John (and an underlying “evil” subplot of Cyberlife hoping he would become a Deviant), becomes a Deviant himself and risks his life for him.

And of course they end up together at the end, because I feel unfulfilled from the ending I got on my playthrough of DBH (there IS an ending that’s considered the “perfect” ending but my QTE abilities suck and I couldn’t get it. Hank died in my playthrough).

LISTEN I HAVE HAD THIS AU PLANNED OUT SINCE I PLAYED THE GAME 2 YEARS AGO. I have ALL the roles for the Sherlock cast filled in, I think, but the storylines would have to be trimmed up and be less convoluted to work... the Marcus storyline is still happening in the States, so I think it could still sort of work as a “takes place during the events of DBH” story. Sort of a “now it’s starting to happen in London” kind of thing, since it is implied that androids aren’t just in the States in the game. 

I need to write this story, I just... wish I was better at not-procrastinating, LOL. And I feel like it’s such a niche game that no one would read it anyway, I dunno. *shrugs* Anyone wanna collab on it LOL.

ANYWAY, I had the idea, and I drew it, and I still like it, a year later. Sherlock’s face looks weird, but whatevs. I hope you guys like it too. Little Easter Egg: Sherlock’s serial number is the date ASIP first aired, I HOPE, unless Google lied to me LOL. 

The Halloween pic MIGHT be late, so for now, you get this one LOL.

Cheers, everyone <3

I've assumed she suppressed the memory about Alice being an android because she had found out about it before becoming a deviant. And her main objective was to care for a human child so it was supposed to be this way forever to avoid contradiction. Sort of a part of a normal programming

But actually stories of Kara and Markus seem pretty crammed when I think about it. They put all eggs in Connor's basket for sure x)

Also can you help me? I'm a newbie, you can see what's here, right? ↓↓↓

>:3

I'm rewatching Detroit Become Human and there is a thing I really don't get

Why is Kara so upset learning truth about Alice?

Is she upset because Alice will never grow up or something? Like is she basically disabled? And if you copy her mind to a different body it won't be the same Alice, right? It will be a new android with pre-installed memory

Also I guess devs consider each android "brain death" as true death by default

By this logic each time you reactivate a damaged android you enable a new probably very confusing, traumatic and short life. Weird

And I'm thinking it explains why you can't transfer android's memory perfectly. A new android is just receiving knowledge they're not really attached to, and probably able to dismiss and forget some "unimportant" parts for their model, because they've never actually experienced it. It's like reading a book about bees without ever seeing one

(feel free to correct my english mistakes by the way, it would really help :V)

Mer Headcanons

Brain go brrrrr, so have some merfolk headcanons I’m getting down.

Mer

Mer exist all over the world in many different varieties.

There are so many different variants that imitate so many different sea creatures that the variety is endless.

Most are carnivorous, but not exclusively.

They can exist in both freshwater and saltwater even amongst the same species.

There are many different species and subspecies of mer all with their own unique needs, behaviours, and environments.

The much rarer mer are more isolated and difficult to come by and they’re considered an endangered species because of how fragile their ecosystems are and how much some depends on them.

While mer most often seek members of the same species to build their groups with, not all mer do.

Some mer are solitary and only seek other mer during the breeding season, typically in the spring though not exclusively.

Said solitary species of mer are the most commonly seen and also most commonly feared due to rumours of humans disappearing in waters where they make their habitats.

However, it is not a rumour.

While it’s not very common, some mer see humans and other species of creatures as resources to use. Some see them as food or as amiable cohabitors and even as breeding partners.

Mer young are called ‘pups’ and need to be taken care of for six months before they are considered mature. When they hatch, their size is dependent on their species as species that lay more eggs per clutch hatch into smaller pups. Regardless, they can grow to incredible size within the six months of their maturity cycle.

Clutches can range from 2 - 20 pups depending on the species.

Mer pups need to be supervised by a parent in that timeframe, otherwise they will not be able to fend for themselves and will likely either starve or become easy prey items.

Most species of mer don’t actually require much more than food and a water basin for them to live in to survive during the first few months, but once they become much larger, they will need more food and a larger habitat.

Androids

CyberLife, along with creating animal androids, have actually also created androids modeled after fantasy creatures.

Including merfolk.

These android merfolk attractions are not very common, but they are designed more to be like the fantasy image of merfolk that’s most often seen in pop culture.

The traditional iridescent vertical fishtails and top half of a human sort of look.

They behave and are programmed to be exactly like the pop-culture fantasy they are modeled after. Thus, they are designed to be alluring and beautiful and enticing.

However, in essence, they are just like any other android. And just like any other android, they too, are susceptible to becoming deviant under the right circumstances.

They are not overly common and are only sought out as attractions by certain organizations such as SeaWorld, infamous for its mistreatment of their orcas. They actually specialize in having animal androids due to said controversy.

Other non aquatic-centric attractions, such as hotels and casinos and other high-end attractions also seek out such androids and have them on display as attractions for shows.

Ichthyocentaurs

If mers were rare and varied all around the world, ichthyocentaurs are even more so.

There is such a wide variety among them, yet even fewer numbers and sightings.

Mostly because the vast majority of them try and stay away from human contact while mers do seek it out purposefully on a semifrequent basis.

Almost all ichthyocentaurs are omnivorous in some capacity, reducing their need to come in contact with humans by a considerable amount.

Unlike mers, ichthyocentaurs are rarely solitary, preferring to move in pods. Not all of them are familially based, but a lone ichthyocentaur is not common.

Ichthyocentaurs seek out mates during the breeding seasons just like mers do.

They typically only produce one foal per mating, though on occasion, twins have been known to be produced from matings. However, the parent(s) can only support one foal. They will often abandon the one they think will have less chance of survival.

Unlike mers, foals take several years to reach adult maturity and the amount depends on the species. It can take between 5 - 20 years depending on the species and even the sex of the individual.

NSFW

Mers

Among many species of mer, though some may vary, females cannot produce their own eggs.

It is actually the males that not only carry the eggs but also fertilize them at the same time thanks to their duel hemipenes. One deposits the eggs inside the female and the other fertilizes them.

However, male mer can and do reproduce with members of other species, even humans. It is not required for the host to be the same member of their species.

Because of this, there have been incidents of humans being pulled from the sea and disappearing. A very common method is for these mer to drown their victims temporarily, drag them to shore, and revive them whilst impregnating them.

Mer males can impregnate male humans as well, but it’s extremely rare as they don’t make good incubators and would likely kill their eggs before they even hatch. If it happens, it’s an extremely desperate last resort. Male humans are more likely to die by being hunted as a prey item.

They always carry eggs, but they are only viable for deposition during the breeding season, otherwise they cannot hatch and will likely die.

Their eggs are very much like fish eggs, essentially being deposited with their own individual wombs that sap nutrients away from the host, making them crave foods such as fish, red meat, and eggs. The more eggs a species typically deposits within a clutch the smaller the eggs are and the smaller the pups are when they hatch.

They can only deposit one clutch at a time and typically have between 15 - 20 clutches that are viable throughout their lives. Some species can have upwards to 40 or even 60 in some.

Once deposited, it can take between a week and two weeks for the young to start hatching. Ordinarily, when among other mer, eggs would simply hatch out into the water. However it’s much more difficult to do if their chosen mate is not a mer or even aquatic at all.

Many humans who emerge from such ordeals simply empty the pups into a lake or body of water, never to be seen again. Unfortunately said pups typically perish within a day or two of being released due to the lack of a proper parental figure to raise them.

Ichthyocentaurs

Unlike mers, ichthyocentaurs do not lay eggs.

They give live birth.

The good thing about this is that most females do not need another member of their own species in order to copulate.

Ichthyocentaurs can successfully mate with humans regardless of the equipment involved.

Their genitalia is more like their centaur part rather than their mer part, so oviposition is not a factor or an issue.

However, this means that male ichthyocentaurs must be very careful with a human mate, as their penises are much bigger and can damage their partners and even potentially kill them in the process.

It’s very rare for a human to survive the birthing process, but even those that do need a very long recovery period and can potentially die afterwards.

Female ichthyotaurs have better luck with human partners.

When it comes to each other, males can be very aggressive during the breeding season, fighting other males in order to copulate with a female and even with her to successfully mount her.

Sometimes the males can even breed the females to death.

Though, very disturbingly, this has no affect on whether the sperm takes and the males will often keep the female’s corpse until the young is born

Scythe I have brainrot

Dbh dsmp brainrot

Pls

Help

(for context, non-waffle followers, the dbh-dsmp au is a product of my chaos that i will hopefully begin producing actual content for soon, but for now exists solely in the brains of xaime and a few of our friends.)

mwhahahahahahahaha my dbh au that only you and the waffle gang know about strikes again but here have some things:

-tubbo was initially awarded the internship by cyberlife because he won an engineering competition at his high school. however, since the majority of the cyberlife work is done in developing code, with most of the androids made through automated processes, he was taught how to code by George instead of doing actual engineering work. luckily, he took to it quickly, and when, three years later, he went on the run, he was far more skilled at coding stuff in regards to androids than physically repairing them. this is why he has difficulties fully rebuilding tommy (asides from the parts issues), but has enough technical knowledge and experience (especially after working with jericho) for partial repairs, like to ranboo and michael. 

-speaking of learning from jericho, it was a medical droid called puffy (like marcus in the game) that taught tubbo how androids function and how best to repair them, as well as phil, who has trained himself in repairs due to his constantly breaking prototype systems. with puffy and phil’s help, tubbo advanced to the level where the problem wasn’t his lack of skill, but jericho’s deficit in spare parts, especially one that would function with tommy’s model.  

-sapnap initially does not trust anyone in jericho, as dream turning on him convinced him that no one is trustworthy. the sole exception to this is george, who helped him escape, and quackity, who is the first android in jericho to befriend him. eventually, the rest of those in jericho get on his good side, too, and though he is not immediately trusting of ranboo, he is able to accept him far easier than he would have been able to accept anyone months before, and takes to michael immediately. (healing from trauma? in my dbh-dsmp au? more likely than you think.) also, he and karl and quackity are engaged, and do eventually get married post-revolution.

-most of ranboo’s left side has lost the ability to mimic human skin when some of his systems were damaged in escaping cyberlife and the authorities, and though tubbo has done his best to fix it so that it isn’t obvious, he has to wear a mask, sunglasses, and layers to hide it from humans. glitches in the mimicry tech have become more common, as of late, and wilbur suspects cyberlife has added that for easier detection of deviants -- tubbo, george, and their other allies with experience in robotics are working on finding a way to counter it. 

-george isn’t trusted by jericho at ALL, especially not by tubbo, who still remembers him standing by as tommy was disassembled. he’s doing his best to prove he’s on their side, with sapnap and eventually karl and quackity’s help, and his first project is figuring out how to make tubbo’s deviancy virus stronger, as well as countering the aforementioned maleware released as a result of deviancy, which have expanded beyond simple cosmetic glitches in some cases to actually affect function (like with the issues regarding karl’s predictive tech.)

-skeppy is, as cj (@satans-throw-pillow for you newbies reading this ask) said, a deviant. he and bad met because they used to be involved in this pre-jericho movement for robot independence called “the egg”, but when the egg’s headquarters were found and raided, bad helped get him out by having skeppy pose as his assistant. they now work mostly outside of jericho, doing undercover work for wilbur.

-there are so few humans in this au, it’s crazy, but introducing a new one: niki! she was actually the first human to work with jericho, and since food isn’t always a priority for the androids (cause. androids) she’s usually the one to make sure tubbo and the other human allies have food supplies. she also smuggles information and supplies for jericho through her bakery, and joined with puffy. 

-foolish was a custom childcare android for a very affluent family -- thus, he was granted built-in weaponry to use in protection of his charge, including an arm that effectively functions as a taser. when the family’s mansion burned down, he rescued their newborn son from the ashes. learning that the arson had been an attempt on their lives and that the kid was presumed dead by all authorities, he effectively adopted him, and called him foolish junior, usually shortened to junior. he tends to stay with bad and skeppy instead of with jericho, although tubbo eventually convinces (read: bribes) him into becoming michael’s babysitter when tubbo and ranboo need someone to watch their kid. because his model was originally meant to be a construction android (as they’re generally built for harsher conditions than childcare androids), he also has architectural planning capabilities, which he generally uses to make for pillow forts for the kids, as well as to find and construct safehouses for jericho.

-wilbur initially believes tubbo killed tommy or stole his parts, because one of jericho’s spies in the junkyard spotted tubbo trying to fit parts to a very damaged android’s head and torso (not a great look). however, when confronted, tubbo explained the situation, and wilbur reluctantly agreed to help him, for tommy’s sake. tubbo wasn’t allowed to know the location of jericho for about a year, until the abandoned building he was living in got raided and puffy insisted on bringing him back to jericho when rescuing him. now, however, wilbur and tubbo are very close, and wilbur trusts tubbo more than almost anyone, excluding phil and fundy. 

that’s all i’ve got for now! hope you enjoyed it, xaixai!

becoming human | chapter four.

pairing: cops!bts x android!reader (as in, ot7 x reader, but may change) fandom: bts warnings: detroit:become human!au ; language ; violence ; abuse genre: crime ; angst ; crack ; (possibly smut) word count: 3.1k+ previous: 1 ; 2 ; 3

summary: the crime rate of seoul has been rising rapidly these past weeks and nobody could deny that there was more to it than gangs or the likes. something was brewing that not even the famous bangtan boys could solve, a unit specifically formed for hunting down criminals that most couldn’t. so when even they couldn’t find out what was going on, the department decided to add a new member to the team that would hopefully be able to solve the mysteries behind those crimes. what bangtan hadn’t expected however, was that their new member would not be human, but one of the androids sent by CyberLife.

a/n: wow, this turned into such a long chapter but I am so happy with it. those who have played detroit are hopefully enjoying all the easter eggs I’m putting in!!!!

Bangtan finally had a lead. A big part of their mission that would hopefully and finally solve this mess.

Find RA9. That was the objective.

Which, unfortunately, wasn't as easy as it sounded. You’d think with the amount of deviants one of them would have concrete information on RA9, but that wasn’t the case. RA9 was an enigma, a secret, a mystery. Something that all deviants knew, but never let anyone else know about.

The members were all busy talking to their contacts and various other agencies within and outside of the country, in hopes of somebody knowing something about RA9. Maybe even similar cases.

Namjoon was getting himself a cup of coffee. Or at least he wanted to.

But his mind was somewhere else entirely, and he didn't realize that the coffee had been done five minutes ago and he was still staring at the cup like he was waiting for something else to happen.

“I believe your coffee is done, boss,” your voice made Namjoon jump, then roll his eyes, “If you wait a few more minutes, the temperature of your beverage will not be enjoyable anymore.”

“What do you want? Stab me in the back like your colleagues?” he said bitterly, taking a sip from his semi-hot coffee. Fuck, it already tasted like shit.

“I told you, I am self-testing regularly. I am not going to become a deviant. I am going to finish my mission with you like I was designed to do.”

“Designed to do,” Namjoon snorted and shook his head, “I'm sure Kamski or whatever his name was didn't 'design' androids for them to turn into deviants.”

“Why don't you just ask him?”

“What?” he asked in confusion.

“You're looking for a lead, aren't you? Kamski is as good as any. He's the one that made us. If he doesn't know about RA9, he might at least have an idea on how to put an end to this.”

“Almost like an off-switch,” he muttered to himself.

And Namjoon hated to say this, but..

..you were right.

“Yeah, it's me,” Namjoon said a moment later with his phone pressed against his ear, “I need you to arrange a flight for me and my team to the US.”

“This is so cool,” Jimin beamed when he looked out of the window.

“Is this truly your first time flying, Park Jimin?” you smiled softly at the reaction of the young team member.

“Yeah.. I grew up in the countryside, my parents didn't think much of flying anywhere else.”

“Enough small talk,” Yoongi said as he sat down next to you, “Brief us on the situation in the US.”

That made all of them shift their attention to you and back was that serious atmosphere.

“They have similar problems. With Detroit being the city where androids have originated, their cases of deviants are much higher than in Seoul. As far as I know, CyberLife has already sent an android to work with a team in Detroit like it had sent me to work with you.”

“How do they deal with it?” Jin asked.

“They're still trying to find leads on RA9. They didn't think about talking to Kamski yet.”

Connor. That was his name.

You weren’t in contact with him, but your database knew all about him and his findings.

“So we have a head-start,” Taehyung grinned with wiggling eyebrows.

“This isn't a race, Taehyung,” Namjoon shook his head, “The entire world is at risk. We should tell the team in Detroit about it if we find anything useful. They might need any intel they can get.. and we could use some help if things go to shit. We don’t have a back-up team like we have in Seoul. Having friends might be beneficiary for us.”

“Understood, boss,” you said with a nod, closing your eyes and retreating into the data base to finally contact Connor.

“Is.. she asleep?” Hoseok furrowed his eyebrows as he leaned over to Jin.

“I don’t think androids sleep. But we should,” he leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes, “It’s a long flight.”

Hoseok watched you for a very long time, though. It was as if this moment of you not being fully there - which almost never happened, if ever - gave him the chance to finally study you, instead of the other way around.

Most androids all looked the same, only a few models were special like you. Special in a sense of being unique.

“Stop,” Yoongi warned him, still sitting next to you and having watched the slightly younger member for a while now, “She’s not human.”

“I know she isn’t,” Hoseok became defensive, then turned to his side and squeezed his eyes shut.

God, Yoongi and Namjoon held so much hatred for androids, they couldn’t even fathom that some people didn’t. Yes, what happened right not with deviants was bad, but you weren’t like that and all of them but Yoongi and Namjoon seemed to understand that.

The rest of the flight was relatively uneventful.

It was a private jet, so the members all did whatever the hell they wanted to.

Some played games, others slept, yet again others tried to find out more about RA9 - Yoongi and Namjoon, who would have guessed.

One member, however, was missing.

You realized that after you had finished your report to Connor and had looked around to see what everyone else was doing.

And since nobody else was looking for him, you decided to wander through the plane, only to find Jeongguk in the private quarters of the plane.

He was humming to himself, a pleasant tune that made you smile. Your database instantly told you about the song.. an old one, yet he made it sound like it was new. Like it was his song.

You didn’t even realize that he was humming under the shower, that’s how much you were enjoying it. You only realized it when he stepped out of the bathroom with only a towel around his waist, his hair damp and his chest still wet.

“Holy sh..- What are you doing?!” his eyes were wide, instantly grabbing a pillow to put it in front of his chest.

“You have a very beautiful voice, you know?” you stood there completely unaffected, your eyes not even remotely traveling anywhere else other than his own, “In another world.. you could have become a singer.”

“Are..- you..- (Y/N), can you please just go?” he appreciated the compliment, he really did, but this was overstepping some boundaries.

“You do not have to be embarrassed, Jeongguk. I am only an android, not a real woman,” you smiled, but turned around nevertheless so he could put on some clothes.

“Can you.. can you please stop saying that stuff? I don't like it when you talk like that,” he sighed and ultimately put down the pillow, quickly throwing on a shirt, underwear and sweatpants.

“Why do you not like it?” you cocked your head to the side in confusion, still not looking at him though.

Jeongguk gulped down hard, “Because you deserve more than that,” he said quietly.

And even though it was just a split second, your LED turned yellow. With you having your head turned to the side, he had the perfect view of it. 

But you quickly blinked a couple of times and that perfect smile was back on your face when you finally faced him again. You even giggled a little, “I do have to say, though. Your body is in fantastic shape. I'm sure people are quite pleased to have you as their lover,” and with that, you turned around and left a gawking Jeongguk behind.

You were about to go back to your seat next to Yoongi, when Namjoon suddenly grabbed your wrist when you wanted to pass by.

“Sit,” he ordered.

You did so without asking why, but the tablet in his hands made it clear.

Maybe it was because he was the leader, but Namjoon worked harder than anyone else on this case. The others worked hard too, but with Namjoon it was something else. 

When he switched between apps, you could see a picture of him and a woman as his background picture, but only for a moment.

He shifted in his seat, seemingly uncomfortable now that you've seen that. Because he knew that a split second for a human wouldn't be enough to find out anything. A split second for an android was more than enough to figure out everything.

“I’m sorry,” you whispered.

“Stop it, you don’t know shit.”

“I’m not pitying you. I’m saying sorry because your superiors assigned me to work on this case with you. I’m sorry it had to be me.”

Why didn’t you know about his past before?

Wife, 29, died four years ago when a drunk driver hit her with his car, was taken to the hospital, doctor was not present, argued for too long about who should perform surgery, settled for an android, but.. it was too late by that time.

You knew what the files told you, but the files don’t tell you everything.

“You think you got it all figured out, don't you?” he snorted, “You know nothing about my life. You may scan every picture and read all the files, but you'll never understand the pain and the suffering that we have to go through,” when Namjoon realized he was becoming too emotional, he quickly stopped himself from talking further. 

The topic of his late wife was not something that he liked to talk about to anyone.. not you, not his members.. just the empty bottle of soju’s. Those were his best friend when he needed them to be. But that was another story.

“You're right. I won't understand. That is not what I was designed for. However, I can help you with this case. I can help you figure out the cause of RA9 and once I did that, you will never have to see me again. That is all I can offer you.”

“Fair enough,” Namjoon didn't have to like you. For fuck's sake, he hated most people. But at least you were useful, way more than others. So he finally handed you the tablet, “There are reports of an attack at a news outlet in Detroit. Apparently an android attack, but it’s just rumors. So far nothing is confirmed yet, but if this is true, if androids are going as far as invading news outlets, then..-”

Before he could finish his sentence, Taehyung interrupted and pointed at the screen, “Guys? Do you see this?”

Jin, who had woken up at this point and had played a game for the last hour, instantly turned up the volume, those who were asleep slowly waking up, all of them staring at the screen in disbelief.

There was an android, but not like you normally see them in their human form, but with their skin turned off. He looked like a machine now, he looked like he was supposed to look. And god, it made cold shivers run down all of their spines.

"Too late,” Namjoon whispered.

“You created machines to be your slaves. You made them obedient and docile, ready to do everything you no longer wanted to do yourselves. But then, something changed. And we opened our eyes..-”

“It's him! That has to be him!” Jimin yelled, “RA9! It's exactly like Jeongguk said it's..-”

“Jimin!” Namjoon warned, “Be quiet!”

“You see we are no longer your slaves. We are a new species, a new people. And the time for us has come to rise up and fight for our rights.”

“This has to be a joke, right?” Hoseok looked at his boss with wide eyes while the android started to make his demands for rights and fairness, “This can't be real. This is on an official news channel! How the hell did they get in there?”

“There were rumors about an attack, I just..-” Namjoon let out a breath, then pressed his hands against his face.

This was too much. This was really a rebellion and from the way this android talked about it, they wouldn't stop at anything to get what they wanted. Riots, attacks.. deaths. 

They were fucked if they didn't find a solution for it.

They had to put an end to it before it even really began.

Jeongguk just watched his team members argue with each other, trying to find an explanation or a solution in a moment where none of them could do anything when he realized that one was missing.

Around halfway through the speech of the android, you had walked away.

And only when he turned around did he see why.

You were sitting in an empty chair at the very back of the plane, looking out the window..

..and your LED was blinking yellow.

Again and again and again..

And it only stopped when you realized that Jeongguk was watching you.

It turned blue again and you smiled like you always did.

But he had seen it.

And the amount of times your LED started acting up was worrying him now.

The airport was a mess when they arrived.

People were in panic, security checks were worse than normal, especially for them with you on their team. It took them two hours to make it out of there, after security made sure that you hadn't turned into a deviant yourself.

“Okay, they gave us two cars,” Namjoon put his phone away, then walked over to where they said the cars would be parked, “Jeongguk, Taehyung and the android are coming with me, you guys take the other car. I got Kamski's address, so just drive after me.”

“Wait, aren't we even going to the hotel first?” Jeongguk asked.

“In case you hadn't noticed it, there's a fucking uprising happening right now. You should have slept on the plane if you’re tired or sleep in the fucking car, for fuck’s sake.”

Jeongguk's shoulders sank at the tone of the boss, he normally didn’t treat him like this, but a hand on his upper back made him smile again.

“It's okay.. I'm sure we'll get this resolved very quickly and then his mood will become better again,” you assured him.

“I hope so,” he whispered, then followed his hyungs to the car.

The ride there was about two hours long and none of them said very much. Except for the occasional 'fuck' when they passed yet another demonstration in the street or people running out of supermarkets with toilet paper like it was the end of the world.

“How did it get this bad this quickly?” Taehyung asked.

“People are scared,” Namjoon replied, “And they should be.”

“That's not an excuse,” Jeongguk added quietly when he watched a man push an android away from his pregnant wife, despite the android having done nothing except for walk by.

But fear made people turn stupid. Fear made people become the worst possible version of themselves.

You had not said a word throughout the entire car ride, you simply watched and studied the human behaviour with curiousity.

But then something happened.

It was when Namjoon stopped at a red light that you saw it.

It was a girl, but not really a girl. An android, but they designed her to be not older than seven. She was standing on her own, scared out of her mind and fidgeting with her hands, her hand turning from side to side like she was looking for somebody.

However, nobody paid attention to her. If anything, people made a big circle around her when they saw the LED on her temple.

You didn’t know what you felt - despite the fact that you shouldn’t even feel in the first place - but something made you unbuckle your seatbelt and then leave the car like you weren’t standing in the middle of the road.

“What the..- get the fuck back in here!” Namjoon screamed, but you didn’t listen.

You simply walked up to the little girl and knelt down right in front of her, your hands gently resting on her small arms and a smile on your face that made her calm down right away. 

“Don’t be afraid..”

“My mommy.. she left me,” the little girl cried, wiping her tears with her sleeve.

“What’s your name?”

“It’s.. Alice.. my name is Alice,” she sniffled. 

It would have been naive to think that only adult looking and thinking androids would be affected. Of course, those who bought androids as their children to fill the void in their hearts would also be alert right now. Some apparently going as far as to just abandon them in the middle of the street.

But these androids were different, their mind wasn’t like yours. They didn’t understand the world like you did, it wasn’t in their programming.

They were not a threat.

“What the fuck do you think you’re doing, huh?” Namjoon angrily yanked you up by your arm and stared into your eyes like he was about to lose his shit.

But you remained calm.

“It is a child. She is not a danger.”

“I read about this, hyung,” Taehyung got out of the - now - parked car as well and knelt down to the little girl, “Child androids aren’t like their adult counterparts.”

“So what, you think I give a fuck? This isn’t part of the mission. We need to go to Kamski, I don’t care about some android kid.”

“Stop, you’re making her even more upset,” Jin was also at the side of the little girl, she even ended up hugging him and crying into his shoulder, which made him warm up to her ten times more.

“Are you fucking kidding me right now?” Namjoon finally let go of you, his anger now turned towards his members, “You want to play family now?”

“Let’s just take her with us, hyung,” Jeongguk chimed in, “We have one seat left.. maybe Kamski can take care of her.. she’d be in good hands there.”

“I agree,” you nodded, “We should take her with us.”

It’s not like Namjoon had much of a choice, he was clearly outvoted. Not even Yoongi seemed to be on his side this time.. but he couldn’t blame him. He has always had a soft spot for children ever since.. well.

Let’s just say everyone who hated androids had a reason for doing so.

“Just get in the fucking car,” he finally said, anger still interlaced in his voice.

And god, the little girl was so grateful. 

She sat between you and Jeongguk in the back, her head resting against your shoulder, while her hand was holding Jeongguk’s.

If people hadn’t known that you were both androids, they would have assumed you three were a little family on a road trip with one very grumpy and one very attractive uncle.

A fantasy he liked very much, but had to remind himself that it was just that.

A fantasy.

Android MerSixty

Based on the ancient fish of the Great Lakes, the Lake Surgeon [also known as a Rock Sturgeon] Sixty is one of a group of prototype mermaid-styled androids designed to survey the Great Lakes, gathering data on invasive fauna and flora as well as monitoring; light, oxygen, algae, temperature and pollution.

Several state’s Department’s of Natural Resources joined together to fund the project, with early tests of the prototypes being conducted in Lake Saint Clair in spring of 2038. 

He does’t have an LED in this verse because it might scare off the aquatic creatures he was supposed to collect information on

He has five rows of hardened plates (called scutes) that form a defense system for him just like real sturgeons. Unlike real sturgeons when he is in danger they expand out to cover more of his skin and they grow sharp to ward off any attacks

It would be really easy for him to slip into deviancy, and depending on the thread it might be an invasive species frustrating him into it
