SO curious what the NIN fanboys of Gardengate would think of this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=g4UZRYShjYU

What a sweet Ask! (and what a delight that this fic is still being read and re-read!!) So, NIN fanboys would be mainly Eli, Connor and Leo!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The soft tune brought a serene smile to Connor's lips, and he relaxed into the listening experience. The vocals tickled him in a pleasant way, appealing to his senses--he felt like singing along, but refrained to avoid disturbing the other two. Leo, who had googled the cover, had a little smirk, arms crossed as he observed the androids. Eli--

Eli suddenly smacked the table, next to the laptop, startling Connor (and Leo, a smidge, although Leo seemed more concerned about his laptop).

"Oh, come on! Get the good stuff on already! Surely there's more to that cover than... than this slumbering wailing!" Eli groaned.

"I think it's a beautiful performance," Connor voiced his opinion in earnest.

Eli stared at him. "You CAN'T be real."

"I'm very real," Connor maintained.

"Fuck! What a boring pussy you are!"

"Markus would beg to differ," Connor replied, which cause Leo to laugh immaturely.

Eli turned to him instead. "Tell me you don't see any quality to this."

Leo shrugged. "I think it's funny. I agree that it's too calm--"

"Too calm?" Connor repeated. "But NIN's version as well as the one by Johnny Cash are calm too."

"No," both Leo and Eli denied at once. They exchanged looks, trying to figure out who should talk first.

"It's not the same kind of calm," Leo said.

"Yeah, they're an expression of agony. This," Eli gestured at the YouTube video, "is agony! Oh, I hate it so much. It pisses me off!"

He made to grab the screen but Leo interfered. "Hey, hey! Gentle with my stuff!"

"I don't understand. I find it soothing," Connor blankly said while Leo stopped the music before Eli might commit murder.

"You have no musical taste, Connor, and you have lost all my respect," Eli stated meaningfully. "Now I'll do the polite thing and leave, and I'll rinse my auditory processor with a 10h playlist of something proper."

"Oh, if you want something to wake you up, I've got something--" Leo started but Connor stopped him, shaking his head.

"I don't think he'll want to listen to 10h of Caramelldansen, Leo."

Leo sighed in recognition and they watched as Eli dramatically strode out the door. Connor chuckled softly and elbowed Leo. "His loss. I'll listen to 10h of Caramelldansen with you."

Leo grinned widely. "And that's why you are my best robot friend."

“You’re a cat person, Markus.”

“I’m a cat person,” Markus repeated, puzzled. “Are you a cat person too? ”

“No, I’m a dog person. Like Hank. And like Leo.”

“You’re not at all like Leo.”

“He wants to please. He’s loyal, and he’d be lost without someone to look up to,” Connor explained.

Markus processed the notion. “You’re a dog person. And I’m a cat person.”

“Carl is also a cat person. And Kamski—I’m sorry about that one. I mean, I had to build this entire framework to try and understand Kamski, because he’s so enigmatic.”

“Is that an extension of your negotiation program? ” Markus teased and laughed. “ Profiling people as cats and dogs?”

“No, it’s a lot more subtle than that.”

“Please, keep on enlightening me, Connor.”

JAMIE FINE: EIGHT GARDENGATE

eight gardengate – Jamie Fine Release Date: November 4th, 2022

Track Listing:

1. Never Wanted This 2. Confessions 3. On My Own 4. Hate Me Love Me 5. Waiting 6. For You

Jamie Fine released emotional, feel-good debut EP eight gardengate. It delivers iconic pop bops that are elevated by Fine’s powerful and distinct voice. It will have you both dancing and crying in the club. Signed to Universal Music Canada and racking up millions of streams on Spotify, the Ottawa-born talent has been making major moves. This entrance secures Fine’s place as an enduring artist on the Canadian circuit and perhaps into more international stardom.

“Never Wanted This,” which features Alicia Moffet, is a dazzling, 70s-inspired track. Retro synths back up passionate harmonies, as lyrics describe the pain of heartbreak and determination to overcome it: “A love like ours was a story to tell / We wrote it on pages, they’re up on a shelf somewhere / Started as strangers but now we’re at the end.” Sadness and longing bubble to the surface on “Confessions.” Fine’s soft but strong, cursive voice complements gentle piano notes. Sweet and slow, the song builds on feelings of sadness and longing towards a dramatic climax representing the pain of separation. “On My Own” grooves with electric-tinged vocals, its empowering snappy tempo giving listeners a surge of confidence. Faced with never-ending toxicity? Fine’s catchy lyrics say choose yourself: “Better on my own, better all alone / Always thought you’ll come and then you don’t / Wait for you to show / Northing’s ever changing.”

“Hate Me Love Me’ captures Fine’s sassy side with a bouncy and soft melody. The lyrics celebrate taking power back and disrupting unfair expectations: “I can’t be stuck in the middle of something I didn’t do / She shooting shots without thinking when she don’t got any proof.” The song translates chaos and frustration into soft funky pop with splashes of horns and Fine’s beautifully textured vocals. “Waiting” is the sun after the storm. A new era and a refreshed psyche. The song’s lyrics represent the special magic of a different, healthier love: “Truth is that I never looked down / Didn’t know that we were getting higher / Float a couple of miles off the ground.” Fine’s vocals harmonize, as electro-pop melodies drive the exhilarating track forward. The last song on the album, “For You,” pairs Fine’s powerhouse vocals with honeyed strums. An unconditional and devoted love that remembers all the small details. Despite its slower tempo, its quick to warm the heart.

Jamie Fine’s eight gardengate is vibrant pop that plays with the dichotomies of heartbreak and falling in love. Fine’s voice is memorable and endearing, while the music is masterfully mixed. Altogether, it makes for a compelling and satisfying listen.

I'm absolutely sobbing in gratitude. I've gotten some amazing comments and reviews on fics (hi @regencypoet) but somehow I never expect to get more, and especially not the I have to scroll down through a wonderful wall of text kind, like you did on Gardengate.

(this isn't even the entire review, I am still flabbergasted, readers like you are every writer's dream!)

*I'm fucking never gonna get over that one bit xDD THANK YOU!!!*

I'm Not Ashamed

I like to read it all! From the brilliant gen fix-it's & post-game sequels, to hilarious crack fics, to silly AUs, fuzzy fluffy fics, shipping of any sorts, to the dirty smut fics! (And my own writing is going to be all across the board with this too)

I don't have a lot of time to read, but so far I have enjoyed the fics I have read/am currently reading. Thank you for blowing my mind, providing me with amazing entertainment, making me laugh, cry, feel warm and fuzzy, and also make me ~feel some kind of way~

I'm tagging all the AO3 authors who have written a fic for the game Detroit: Become Human, who made me feel at least one of these things, and have inspired me to write or helped shape my own writing.

@astrahannah Cigarettes_And_Smut @changethecircumstances @chaos-thirium @ld200 @leelany-world Profilore , Self_Indulgent_Authorship @sweeteatercat @simping-for-kamski (AKA TranscientNight) @wyntereyez

Also I acknowledge you other DBH fic writers (This post is getting too long, but I have bookmarked many others). I have yet to read your fics: [~But I'd like to~]

[simping-for-kamski]

It's rarer to get comments on completed fics, so I'm really happy about these! Gardengate passed 9k hits! I'm so grateful for this!

When Amanda resumed control of Connor, Markus was nearly shot during his freedom speech. Weeks later, Connor shows up to the Manfred residence with heavy concerns: What if Connor isn't the only android whose free will could be overridden by Amanda? Between their investigation and time with their found android/human families, Markus and Connor will need help to uncover just what they're up against, what Amanda really is, and what rA9 has to do with it all.

Feat. Manfred siblings bonding, Hank being a dad, disaster androids, Carl and Elijah Kamski's deadly secrets, humor, rarepairs, a bit of action and tons of character/relationship development.

[simping-for-kamski]

IT IS MY DELIGHT TO READ THIS POST~

First, I agree with all the tags from @nothinggathers:

That's the core of the issue (along with the horrid rep for the Chloes). But I do believe that if we're to look at Kamski as someone smart, this test is basically bullshit, and not testing what Kamski says it tests, because you can't run a clinical test in non-clinical condition, with Hank fucking up the entire test's ecosystem.

So yeah, I guess the test could definitely be more about Chloe, especially if there's been some behind-the-scenes tension between her and Kamski. Interestingly, Kamski does know that Ferndale station is the starting point to finding Jericho, and he is very enthused about Jericho (cf his body language).

Personal takes on that scene have been:

In Gardengate Kamski and Chloe were only trying to figure out if Connor still had a piece of software that makes him biased towards Chloe, in order to gauge how much CyberLife altered him.

And there, it hit him. He was designed to be partial to Chloes. He’d been right when he refused to shoot her and told Kamski he wasn’t a deviant. He’d simply been following his program, and his program told him that Chloe was safe, that she was a person, that she wasn’t to be endangered or harmed. His program also told him to complete his mission at all costs. Kamski knew that. Kamski knew all of that, and he’d faced Connor with an impossible choice on purpose. What had he really been observing there? Whether Connor would choose to follow the instructions set by CyberLife or a string of code of,  no doubt, Kamski’s own design, like the Garden?

In The Heist Chloe is the one who designed the test, and the recipient of the test isn't actually Connor, but ~someone~ who is spying through Connor's eyes and influencing his decisions.

“Fuck you! You knew I would have to see this! For Connor it was never about you—it was all about Hank! What a fucked up, unscientific, piece of trash test!” She laughed. “You’re so damn upset! It was thrilling, honestly. And a real good test,” she defended it. “He called it the ‘Kamski test’— who do you think was being tested here?”

In Everyone Lives in the End Kamski is actually gauging the level of deviation in a different way: is Connor capable of deviating from the test itself or not?

“He could have turned the gun against me, or argued against the terms, had he been deviant enough—or you could have stepped in front of the gun if you cared that much,” Kamski defended himself.

In Make It Yours Kamski simply took the opportunity to have the deviant hunter get rid of Chloe because he never liked her—she was created by his twin, Neal, and "wedged" them apart.

“Are you friends with androids then?” “I was,” Neal said, and his eyes turned bright with a wet shine. “My brother didn’t approve. One, he took from me and gave him to your father. The other, he had her shot by Connor.”

Elijah felt nagged by the stocks steadily rising while everything he wanted—to not be himself, and for his brother to love him back—had sunk in a bottomless pit. He felt nagged by Chloe, whom Neal kept protecting. He felt nagged by Markus, the android Neal created to assist Amanda in her single-mom endeavors

In [untitled wip fic] Kamski just wanted to unsettle Hank af to be sure the police would not bother him ever again and let him be asocial.

 “I didn’t create you, I don’t care about anything CyberLife’s been doing after my departure, and frankly, I don’t care that much about whether androids can feel anything or not. I made up that test to be sure that cop wouldn’t overstay his welcome—not that he truly was welcome to begin with.”

(that wip fic promises to be fun, past the super sad first chapter xD)

As a writer, I am greatly offended by the Meet Kamski scene (and that fucking house of hell). It has definitely been quite the exercise, trying to have it make sense in regards to Kamski being supposed to be very smart. Ofc smart people can be guilty of stupidity too, but you'd still expect higher standards in designing an ethical test, from someone who is supposedly an expert in that field...

ANYWAY, THIS HAS BEEN QUITE THE POST!

i’m about to say something so controversial and not brave. kamski gives me elon musk vibes
