[nierly-amazing]

no offense and idk if you want to talk about this subject (and if not feel free to ignore) but the way 9S treated 2B and A2 was garbo, he was a cool character in the start of the game but eventually becoming a raving lunatic who betrayed his core values kinda works against him

Ok this ended up being a lot longer than I thought and I hope this doesn’t come off as aggressive or anything but I love 9S and his character and I wanted to tangent and dump my feelings about all my android children because aagh.

Spoilers for literally everything. A-E and all of the supplementary materials:

I mean, considering all that’s happened to him it’s completely understandable. He was created as an extremely emotional person and thrust into a war he didn’t sign up for and forbidden to show those emotions. He was partnered with someone who [seemingly] is emotionless and cold who he cares deeply about but doesn’t know why. 

He was still kind and respectful to her from what I remember. Like, he was a sassy little shit when she ordered him around but I would be too in that situation. 

He wasn’t pushy with her about the Nines thing, only asking her twice, probably weeks apart. He was always looking out for her health, trying to get her to rest up when she was pushing herself too hard. But whenever she said no, he didn’t push it. He might have complained a bit but dropped it afterwards.

And as for A2. I don’t blame him at all for the way he acted towards her. The only thing he saw was her killing the most important person right in front of him, and making no move whatsoever to try to explain things to him. She had multiple chances to safely let him know that 2B was infected and wanted her to kill her but took none of them. 

But instead, the first time she said anything to him regarding was when he was waay off the deep end drowning in pain and sorrow about everything that was happening, right after killing his mom(ish). “2B told me, she wanted you to become a good person.” And then nothing, no “oh yeah she was also infected and asked me to kill her btw.” I’m not sure what she was expecting or trying to get out of that.

Don’t get me wrong. I love A2 and she’s a great character and has gone through a TON of shit herself with both 2B and 9S trying to kill her in the past multiple times (even though they don’t remember) and 9S was a huge ass to her in concert script 2. So it’s almost understandable that she didn’t tell him because she didn’t owe either of them shit and the only reason she did was 2B asked was because she felt compelled to. 

But then again she did care about 9S on some level since her memories did mix with 2B’s when she took her sword, which was apparent when she gently stroked 9S’s face and said “I’ll take care of this” and sacrificed herself to save him at the end of route C.

Maybe she felt he wouldn’t have believed her if she tried (which he might not have) so she didn’t think it was worth her time?

So yeah, in the end I have no idea really why she didn’t at least try to contact him early on and I’m not sure if there’s a reason or the writers just fucked up there or something.

But anyway, there were three main things he needed to chill out on still (well there might be more but I’m too tired to think of more rn).

1) His racism towards machines and denying the evidence that some of them do feel pain and have emotions. Although that’s also somewhat understandable as well, since they’ve been fighting these machines for 6000 years and only recently did a small handful of them actually gain emotions. It’s easy to think that it’s fake and they’re just trying to fuck with you to get the upper hand.

And hell, even tough some of them did have emotions, they still attacked and killed androids. So it would be kind of unreasonable to expect 9S and the others to be like “welp they can feel pain now lets just let them run rampant and keep killing other androids”

But even so, Anemone and it seems like the rest of the Resistance learned to coexist with Pascal’s village so 9S (and 2B too, she wasn’t far behind him) probably could have acted better towards the peaceful ones. (Especially Pascal, he was definitely a dick to my precious trans robot and I want to smack him upside the head for that). They both did start warming up to them and helping out over the course of A/B. But then that went down the drain with 9S after he started on his downward spiral. 

So yeah, 9S’s hatred towards machines and denial of their new emotions was something he def needed to work on, but was also mostly understandable.

2) His possessiveness towards 2B. It wasn’t really clear in the game, but in the new novel:

I’ll kill anyone who hurts 2B. I’ll kill anyone who touches 2B. I’ll kill anyone who gets close to 2B. I’ll kill anyone who looks at 2B. Because the only one who’s allowed to look at 2B is me. The only one who’s allowed to get close to 2B is me. The only one who’s allowed to touch 2B is me. The only one who’s allowed to hurt 2B is me. The only one allowed to…

9S pls. 

Although it’s not clear to me when he started acting like this since only bits of the novel is translated and it wasn’t really hinted at in game until mid to late route C when his aggression was turned towards the 2B clones and the one in his hacking space during the soul box. It’s not like he was acting jealous at all whenever 2B interacted with anyone else, especially since it was kinda clear that 6O had a crush on her.  Ok so after getting more information it seems he wasn’t violently possessive like that until after she died.

Either way that is defo not healthy way to think in any sort of relationship and I hope he will be able to work through that with her after they’re revived.

3) His denial of the fact that 2B was infected. Although this one is more speculative because we don’t know for sure, but it seemed like he knew, at least on some level, that 2B was infected. He’s super smart and good at piecing things together so even if A2 didn’t straight up tell him, he could have been able to figure it out on his own.

Like with 2B’s flight unit message. That is not something someone who plans on seeing you soon would say. That was clearly a goodbye message because she knew she was going to die even before she crashed.

So yeah, it’s likely he knew but denied it and used A2 as a scapegoat for his anger. He might not have even believed her if she did tell him.

9S was by no means a perfect person, but he was realistic and reacted how so many people would if they were shoved in a horrible situation like him. Which is why I love his character so much.
