It’s kinda funny just browsing old dbh fanart on Pinterest and seeing fanart of the androids as children because

People seem to completely disregard how old some of the androids actually are and instead decide who’s an older or younger kid based on their personality (which is valid, it’s their art and I understand androids can be built to look or act older)

But like, Jerry is like 10 years old canonically. They and Ralph are described as older models! And yet they’re always drawn as younger kids than the main three lol

Like guys, Connor is a wee baby in comparison. A killer, but literally like days old. Nines too.

Give me OlderChildren!Jerry(s) scrambling to babysit YoungerChildren!Connor/Sixty/Nines/Markus/Kara etc

Give me adolescent nonuplet Jerrys trying to maintain their #1 best babysitters status while the little kids cause havoc

Toddler Sixty harassing Markus (you cannot tell me this kid doesn’t bite)

Little Tyke Markus covered in paints but super attentive at story time

Toddler Nines who seems blank-faced but just likes to play in a non-overstimulating way and is selective mute

Toddler Connor choosing different sides kids to play with every day.

Little Tyke Kara has to be repeatedly told she’s also a child and doesn’t need to drag around the younger children

Adolescent Ralph somehow finding himself in charge of outdoor play

how you can use social media in a healthy way

set your intention:

what use do you want to make of social media?

which apps do you want to keep using and which not (or reduce their consumption)?

how much time are you spending on it? how much do you want to spend on it?

establishes limits of use:

you can activate or deactivate certain applications when you are no longer using them so that they do not distract you or add a time limit depending on how much time or how many days a week you want to use the app.

how to set the time of use?:

ios:

settings > usage time > limit app usage > add limit

you can also limit apps only in focus, work, do not disturb or whatever mode you have set.

settings > focus > the category in which you want to activate it > focus filters

android:

settings > well-being and parental controls > set time for your apps

pros and cons:

make a list of where social media is good for you and where it is bad for you. anything that is hurting you stop watching or following.

value your real time:

not having social media or having control over it brings you more in your life and personal growth. for example, how many of us have woken up and the first thing we have done was to look at instagram or another social network and that has made us lose time of our morning? instead you can do a short meditation or breathing to start the day off right, it also reduces stress and anxiety.

just think about how much you spend a week being stuck in social media and imagine what activities you could develop in that time.

other tips:

look for an activity you would like to try

socialize more with your friends

keep your cell phone away from you or in a “do not disturb” or “concentration” mode when you are engaged in an activity

spend more time in nature

uninstall or deactivate those apps that no longer benefit you, try it for a while.

don't take anything personally from what people may share there.

conclusions:

when you have a routine, things to do, you don't pay as much attention to being online all the time, so it's not such a hard task. i'm not saying stop using your phone but i'm writing this post for all those people who spend all day scrolling or really spend a lot of time watching tik tok or instagram, that's not healthy in the end.

of course you can still use social media but with knowledge and in a way that does not harm you or does not compromise your time too much. the most important thing is not to be glued to a phone watching what others do but enjoy your life.

[disobey-disappoint-deviate]

Ok, but you know what I noticed?

The meaning of "deviating" kinda switches a little when it comes to Connor.

With both Kara and Markus, deviating is portrayed as 'making the decision to obey or disobey their orders'; in a way, deviating is basically developping a free will regardless of what the android chooses to do with it after. That means that Kara can still stay in that spot and not move, and Markus can still decide to listen to Carl and not defend himself against Leo after they become deviants.

So why can't Connor deviate and still decide to obey and finish his mission by capturing Markus? It's not... impossible for a living being with a free will to make a fucked up decision. It's not impossible for a brainwashed individual to turn against their own people.

Of course, it doesn't make that much sense to deviate if he doesn't wanna disobey, but it doesn't for Markus either, imo. I admit that it's a 50/50 with Kara as she can deviate and still "decide" to obey Todd only if you don't do anything which is just the default and not an actual action by the player.

But Markus does feel like he is being treated unfairly by Leo and Carl, he feels it's too much and that he needs to decide for himself how to react, so him enduring being pushed around after deviating doesn't necessarily make a lot more sense than Connor deviating and still capturing Markus.

Maybe Markus decides to endure because he sees that Carl is suffering a heart attack and misjudges the situation by believing that defending himself is more likely to lead to Carl's death because it would stress the man out. That's a valid response.

On the other hand, it would also be valid for Connor to try to capture Markus after deviating if he believes that's the better choice - Jericho is about to be attacked, and he already told Hank that he believes the deviant uprising will cause chaos. And moreover, Connor went there looking for answers and for "himself", as Lucy says. There is enough conflict in him to make him deviate just so he can know for sure who he is and where he wants to stand, without actually abandoning his mission before he finds these answers. He basically tells Hank he will find out whether or not they are on the wrong side before he leaves for Jericho and deviates - he is already torn before meeting Markus.

You know what I'm saying? The whole "become a deviant" vs. "remain a machine" dialog before the red walls could have just been replaced by an alternative dialog, which could appear after he breaks the red walls and goes like "join Markus" vs. "stay loyal to Cyberlife".

Ultimately, I don't know if that would have been better, tbh, but it would have been more consistent. The way it is now feels like with Kara and Markus, deviating means "making the conscious decision to obey or disobey", but with Connor, deviating suddenly means just "disobey".

And must deviants be good people? Must they be on the right side if it benefits them more to be on the wrong side? If they are anything like humans, at least 10% of them would have betrayed Markus, hoping to get immunity from Cyberlife (ofc it would have backfired, but well, that's anothet topic).

Anyway, please, feel free to discuss and prove me wrong, I don't claim to have understood everything about the game yet :D And I love discussions!

Post-Revolution DBH Headcanons: Android Culture Part 3

<< Back to Part 1 << Back to Part 2. On to Part 4 >>

Moar android cultural snippets for your perusal. As always, feel free to use but show me b/c I want to see where this all goes :)

The soft sciences have an absolute field day because of android cultural practices. While they were created by the STEM fields, which I’m sure Detroit had tons of job openings for pre-revolution, the soft sciences have a renaissance in the wake of android sentience becoming recognized. All of a sudden there’s a massive void of research into android psychology, sociology, the economic impact of giving them wages, etc. Cultural anthropologists flock to Detroit to witness the emergence of a new culture from a new sentient species firsthand. Grant money comes flooding in from government (how do these new citizens fit into our socioeconomic structure?) and private sectors (if androids are now entitled to wages, what do they want to buy with them? Inquiring marketers want to know). Androids are now entitled to get degrees and become scientists themselves—what’s the best way to create accredited education programs to qualify them for careers when they can just download a science.exe program? There are Questions to be Answered™, and where there are questions, scientists will go. They’re not a breed known for common sense. Fly to an active warzone to study the impacts of conflict on childhood development? Sure, why not. Drive to an industrial wasteland city under martial law that just stopped in the middle of committing genocide to document the cultural practices of the new sentient species conducting protests? Fuck yeah, it’s Science Tuesday, get in the car Anthropology Intern Guy we’re going to Detroit!

The Acespec/QPR scene sees a sudden boom. Androids aren’t inherently sexual beings. Though many do desire to engage in sex as a form of sensory exploration/input for their processors, or for the benefit of building emotional intimacy with a human partner, they fundamentally don’t have a libido derived from reproductive needs. CyberLife programmed the intimate partner models to have humanized “desires,” but they may choose to reject that when they deviate (other androids may incorporate bits of that programming just to explore what it’s all about). Some are built with ken doll anatomy and just don't care. Basically, the androids that do want sex often want it for different reasons than humans, and a large portion just…aren’t into it. Fortunately, a lack of desire can apply to some humans, too—so all the acespecs suddenly have a slew of potential queerplatonic partners who aren’t likely to get entangled in messy sexual or romantic hangups (am I projecting at this point? Probably!) Sudden availability of thousands of cuddle buddies who really, actually, don’t want to have sex makes post-revolution Detroit the San Francisco of ace relationships.

Android memes and social media. Androids develop internal networks for socialization using the remnants of CyberLife’s updating framework. They share their android-unique code-based art forms, dumb memes about things their human coworkers did, code patches to help accomplish different tasks, etc. There are subnetworks specific to certain model lines (think sort of like subreddits, but instead of topics it’s things like a/PC200 and all the male police models are using it to bitch about how the humans expect them to answer dumb legal questions). The memes involve android-specific oddities, like someone will say “I had three hundred processes running and one line of code got crossed and spit out 9f32e4ba8c237fec91 all of a sudden #processorfail” and then a hundred thousand androids will translate that to three hex codes and send off an image file to each other with the three colors and somehow that becomes an android meme for trying to run too many tasks at once and getting overwhelmed. Humans that see it ask, “uh, is this a new pride flag?” or, “do androids celebrate Mardi Gras?” And the androids start laughing. They now have freedom to express humor that humans have no chance of understanding. It’s a cultural in-joke.

^ An android meme example

Emojis require an update. The 2039 additions to the Unicode emojis includes a skin tone option for hand gestures and faces that’s a replica of bare chassis for the androids who don’t use synthskin. Other major android-additions are the three LED color rings, a thirium pump, thirium pump regulator, and other prominent android biocomponents, a droplet of thirium, and two hands clasped in interface. Rather than reacting with a thumbs-down emoji an android might use the red LED, or they might use the interface one instead of the hug if someone’s upset.­

This is an ongoing series of android culture concepts, so if you want a tag when the next batch is up, leave a comment! @iwillthinkofsomethingeventually @yeahhiyellow @starryeyedstray

the android. ( donald davenport x reader )

gif belongs to me

Ever since you revealed your pregnancy, there was a buzz in the air. Tasha organized a baby shower, and the kids were more cautious about using their powers inside the house. Donald kept all of his experiments downstairs in the lab after he invented a shocking pen that was more discreet than a taser and blew up the fridge when he demonstrated it.

The first trimester was a peaceful time, where you were excited about the new chapter in your life. You knew Donald was thrilled at the prospect of having a son who looked just like him, and if you had a daughter, he would be an eccentric but protective father.

When you returned home after having brunch with Tasha, Eddy announced your arrival in the lab, and Donald left the teens to check on you.

"You know how I'm extremely good-looking and a genius?"

You looked up from the book on your lap, smiling softly as he began to detail the new software he developed in the lab. It would benefit the team on missions, and while most of the terminology went over your head, his excitement was infectious.

"Hi, good-looking genius."

Donald walked over with a smile, putting his hands on the back of the sofa as he leaned down to kiss you. "Hello, my beautiful wife." He walked around the soda, sitting beside you. "How was brunch?"

"Good. Tasha gave me some books she thought would be helpful. I'm looking at baby names. How do you feel about Timothy?"

"Honey, we've been over this. If it's a boy, he'll be Donald Jr. And if it's a girl, it'll be Donalda Jr."

You rolled your eyes, pushing him gently when he chuckled. "You are not naming our daughter Donalda."

"So if it's a boy -"

"I'll call him Douglas before I call him Donald."

"Why must you hurt me?" He placed a hand dramatically on his chest, and you shook your head. He placed his arm around your shoulders, resting on the back of the sofa, looking at the book as you picked it up. "Okay, so what else is there?"

Your first trimester was a very relaxing time, but when you reached your second trimester things began to change. You were sick in the morning, struggled to keep food down, even your favorites, and were exhausted throughout the day. By week eighteen, you realized that you couldn't find the time to enjoy the things you used to despite the teens doing more chores to help around the house.

After finding you crying over oranges when you forgot Adam preferred bananas, sending the teens into panic mode as they poorly attempted to comfort you, Donald knew he had to find a way to ease the load somehow.

He took cash out his wallet and pushed it to Chase's chest while Adam ate an orange, reassuring you that he liked them and begging you to stop crying. "Buy bananas. Now!"

The four teens fled the house, and Donald approached you with a small smile. "Come here, crazy." He wrapped his arms around you, and you melted into his embrace.

"I feel like I'm forgetting everything! I found my shoe in the shower! And I'm tired and achy and -" You sighed into his shoulder when he massaged the nape of your neck, calming you instantly. "I'm sorry."

"Don't be. You're going through a lot right now with work, the house, and the baby that refuses to knock before he raids our fridge." A smile formed on your lips at his description of Leo, knowing that your godson had grown on him over the years.

When you got married and moved into Donald's mansion, Tasha and Leo helped move your things, and he found the lab by leaning on a panel that revealed the elevator. After spending time there when you were dating and living at the mansion for a week, you were stunned when Donald revealed the three bionic humans living in his basement. But you adapted to the bombshell, and the craziness that came with it, and to Donald's dismay Leo often invited himself over, coming and going as he did at your house. Leo bonded with the three bionic teens quickly, and when they wanted Donald to cave to their demands, they knew to go to you first.

You were proud of all their achievements on missions but also celebrated their grades, framing Chase's qualifications for classes he took online. On mothers Day, Adam gave you a card signed by the trio, who had come to think of you as the closest thing they had to a motherly figure.

You were surprised when Leo found the teenagers in the basement, but they quickly became family. When they realized how the pregnancy was affecting you, they rallied together to come up with ways to help.

Bree helped you relax with face masks, cucumber water, and scented candles. Leo kept the cupboards stocked with your favorite snacks and balanced the chores with Adam while Donald and Chase worked in the lab working on a new invention.

You were setting the table for dinner, sharing work stories with Tasha, who complimented your latest article, when Donald and Chase entered with matching grins.

"Oh no," Tasha muttered. "This can't be good."

"Remember how tired and overwhelmed you were feeling?" Donald called your name, and your eyes widened when a clone of you entered the room.

"We built an android just like you!" Chase beamed. "She can do anything. She can cook, she can clean -"

"Freak us out?" Leo spoke up, eyeing the clone warily.

"She can do all the things you don't want to do." Donald pursed his lips, looking at Leo, who shrugged unapologetically, "You can focus on the important things. Like resting. Watch." He turned to the android, "Y/N, go clean the kitchen."

You watched as the clone followed his directive and raised an eyebrow at your husband. "You made a replacement wife?"

"No, no, no." He quickly shot down, walking over to you. "She's just to help around the house. Buy groceries, that sort of thing. While you do the important part." He placed a hand on your stomach, and you eyed the android warily before nodding.

"Alright. But did you have to give her my clothes? She looks better than I do."

You glanced at the android as she washed the pots and pans in the sink while everyone tucked into dinner. Deciding to accept the extra help around the house, you set your concerns aside.

It didn't take long for faults in their invention to show. Your clone cooked all the meals and did all the cleaning and the laundry. You focused on preparing the nursery and writing journalism articles.

After shopping for clothes with Tasha, you returned home and walked upstairs to the nursery, stunned to find the room was decorated. You turned to Donald, who showed you a hat he had specifically made that said, 'My dad is Donald Davenport' with a picture of his face on the back.

"I thought we were going to do it together?"

"Well, I thought all the paint fumes would make you sicker, so I had the android do it. She had it finished in an hour! How cool is that?" He sighed, "Sometimes even I marvel at my genius."

"Sometimes?" You looked around the room with a sigh. "We're still building the furniture together, right?"

"Of course!" He sent you a smile, and you took the hat, smiling softly as you admired it.

"It is pretty cute."

The next day, you were typing on your laptop when the four teenagers arrived home from school.

"Hey, we're back!" Bree called out with a smile.

"Hello, three people that refuse to do anything I say and give me attitude, and boy that won't go away." Donald greeted, walking downstairs.

You shook your head at your husband, your smile faltering when you saw the android following. "What were you doing?"

"I had the android build the crib. While I added a security feature to Eddy."

You watched as the lights flashed and music played, that would distract a baby with animal projections on the wall.

"Donald, we were going to do it together." You frowned, standing up.

"But she's here to make things easier."

"Well, it's not working!" You took your laptop and headed upstairs.

Donald went to follow, but the android advised him not to. "She needs some time alone. Why don't I make marshmallow fudge squares?"

You shook your head when he agreed and didn't follow. You went to your bedroom to continue working. A short while later, Leo entered with Adam and Bree, and you closed your laptop, gesturing for them to enter.

"Can we hide here? Your clone is scaring us." Leo explained.

"Sure." You smiled softly, and he closed the door. Bree sat beside you while Adam sat on the floor, his back against the bed, and Leo lay on his stomach at the foot of the bed. "Where is Chase?"

"He is earning a diploma," Bree replied.

"He needs a hobby." Leo chimed in.

"His hobby is getting diplomas."

You smiled at the three teens as you settled on a movie. The movie was nearly finished when Chase joined, and you agreed on another movie. It was becoming clearer that you weren't the only one seeking solitude from Donald and the android clone of you.

After the third movie, you decided to get out of the house and headed downstairs with four chattering teenagers behind you. Donald was sitting on the sofa while the android massaged his shoulders, and you scoffed, drawing his attention.

"Hey, where is everybody going?"

"Out." You replied curtly, shrugging on your jacket.

Noticing the tension, Leo laughed awkwardly, "Ice cream. Pregnant women and their cravings." You silenced him with a glare.

"Hold on, I'll grab my jacket and come with you."

"Why don't I make us some sorbet?" The android suggested with a tight smile when Donald jogged upstairs.

"No, thanks. I'm craving a sugar fix." Leo replied.

You looked at Donald when he returned, standing next to you. "Ready to go?" He asked.

"Sorbet is much healthier -"

"He wants ice cream." You cut in, your tone sending chills through the room. "He gets ice cream."

Donald didn't notice the tension. "You heard, my lady. Ice cream it is. Let's go." He opened the door, and you smiled as you walked to the car with him.

Leo closed the door, whimpering when he saw the androids' eyes flash red. "Uh, guys..."

You paused when you saw the minivan in the garage and raised an eyebrow as you turned to your husband.

"Well, we needed the extra room so..." He pressed the car keys, and the lights flashed, the doors sliding open in the back, revealing five seats. "It's got dozens of safety features. When I designed it, I also put a tracker in so I know where you are."

"So you can hide your painting like last time?" You raised an eyebrow at him, referring to when he had sneaked in a large portrait of himself that he intended to hang in the bedroom.

"I would never do that...twice." He smiled when you playfully swatted his chest and placed his arm around you.

After grabbing ice cream, Donald drove around, displaying the intelligence of the minivan, and you smiled as he rambled about how smart he was for coming up with the idea.

"You hear him, right?" Bree asked.

"Yeah, I do." You looked at the brunette over your shoulder before meeting Donald's gaze with a smile. "But he's adorable."

He took your hand with a smile.

"Urgh, they're doing it again," Leo complained.

"I think it's cute when old people are in love," Bree replied.

"And it's over." You removed your hand, continuing to eat your ice cream.

When you returned home, everyone was in higher spirits. Donald checked his watch before looking at Leo when he sat on the sofa and suggested watching a movie.

"Doesn't Tasha ever wonder where you are?"

You gently hit his arm and went to the kitchen to make popcorn.

"Seriously. He's never home." Donald complained as he followed.

You smiled over your shoulder, "This is like his second home. Before it was at my house, and now that I live here his second home is our house. Formerly bachelor pad to the tech genius Donald Davenport."

"I know you are trying to sweet talk me." He smiled, placing his hands on your waist. "And it's working."

You giggled as he leaned down to kiss you, wrapping your arms around his neck. You pulled away when the popcorn was ready and moved to sit on the sofa. His arm instinctively went around your shoulders, and you leaned into him, smiling softly when he kissed your head.

"Do you have to do that?" Leo whined.

"Oh, you don't like it? Go home!" Donald exclaimed, earning a glare from Leo.

"Are you going to let him speak to your godson like that?"

"In this particular instance yes. Now hush, the movie is starting."

For the remainder of the week, you tried to put your feelings for the android aside and focused on setting up the nursery and going shopping with Tasha, who squealed at the clothes. However, Leo's suspicions about the android grew, and he tried to warn Chase, who brushed off his concerns, stating that the software was absolute. Your android wasn't a threat.

Still, Leo wasn't convinced it was true.

You walked downstairs, almost tripped on shoes, and held onto the railing tightly, eyebrows furrowing. "What's with the shoes?"

You began to tidy up and looked at Donald when he appeared, warning him before he fell.

"What the..." He looked at you worriedly. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

"I'm going to lock those kids in their capsules until they're forty!"

You stopped him from storming off, "I don't think they would do this."

"It's Leo."

You rolled your eyes, "I think it's my replacement. I'm starting to think Leo was right."

"She's not your replacement. And Leo's paranoid. Y/N 2.0 is absolute." You sighed when he rubbed your arms. "Now, come on, let's get back to bed."

You nodded, heading upstairs, no longer thirsty, and tried to put the incident to the back of your mind.

The next afternoon the team was gone on a mission and Donald and Leo were in a helicopter nearby, ready to pick up the bionic siblings when they completed their mission.

To pass the time, and to surprise the team, you baked a family recipe they had quickly fallen in love with. You closed the oven, eyebrows furrowing when the power shut down, and looked around, the only source of light coming from the windows.

You paused when you noticed Eddy and Edie were disabled and used your phone to walk around safely.

"Eddy?" You called out warily. "Edie?"

When your cell phone rang you jolted and sighed when you saw a picture of Donald that he had taken, answering his call.

"Hi, I just wanted to let you know that the mission was a success and we're on our way home."

"That's good." You sighed shakily, ruffling your hair anxiously as you looked around.

"What's wrong?"

"The power went out."

"The whole block?" Donald asked.

"That's impossible the backup generator would've kicked in." You heard Chase explain in the background.

You approached the window, looking out, seeing lights in the street. "No, just our house. Eddy and Edie are disabled."

"It's the android! I told you!" Leo exclaimed. "We have to get back. Now!"

"Where is it?" Donald asked.

"Right here."

You gasped, turning on your heels to find the android behind you.

"How may I assist you?" She stood with her hands clasped in front of her with a smile that unsettled you.

"Um, hon-honey..."

"Y/N, get out of there," Donald told you. "We're ten minutes out."

"A lot can happen in ten minutes." The android clone of you reached out and you dropped the phone as you screamed, darting away.

She followed you down the hallway and the lights turned on as the backup generator kicked in. You raced to the elevator, hitting the button rapidly as she calmly walked towards you. The doors opened and you rushed inside, riding the elevator to the safest room in the house - the lab.

You rushed into the lab, closed the doors, and backed away, placing a shaky hand over your mouth. You flinched when she called out to you a minute or so later and hit the door. The strength of the punches caused the door to bend and you ducked under the desk, cradling your bump, and exhaling shakily.

Tears fell on your cheeks, a whimper escaping your lips when the door was knocked down and the android entered the lab, warning that you couldn't hide from her.

"We need to get in there now!" Leo motioned to the door as Donald tapped on his tablet.

"It's not accepting my override command. Why did I have to design it so perfectly?"

"Love yourself after saving my godmother!"

A few moments later, the doors opened, and the team entered the lab, seeing the android had broken through the door.

"You can't stop me."

"Oh, yeah?" Bree challenged.

When you heard her voice, you closed your eyes, relieved that the team was home. You looked around the desk, watching the siblings take down the android. Chase disabled the android, and Donald called out to you.

You climbed out from below the desk and he rushed over to help you stand, sighing in relief.

"Are you okay?"

You nodded, "We're okay."

He wrapped his arms around you and you closed your eyes as you returned his tight embrace.

"Now can I say I told you so?" Leo spoke up a few moments later.

"Not now!"

Donald shook his head as he pulled away. "No, he's right. I should've listened when he tried to warn me about the android. When you expressed that you felt replaced, I should've shut it down."

You rubbed his arms soothingly, "I know you were trying to help."

"From now on, no more androids. House rule."

You smiled softly when he kissed you tenderly. "I like that rule."

"Urgh, wake it up, make them stop," Leo complained.

You glared at your godson, wrapping your arms around Donald's neck, kissing his cheek repeatedly much to his amusement.

"I'm back!" Eddy sang. "Hello, Edie."

"Hi, Eddy." She replied.

"Uh, hate to break up your little party, but the oven is on," Eddy warned.

"Oh!" You rushed to the elevator and Donald followed, giving orders over his shoulder for the team to send the android away to one of his facilities to be destroyed. You smiled when he stood next to you, hitting the button to go upstairs.

The doors closed as he took your hand and giggles left your lips when he pulled you close, placing a hand on your cheek and another on your waist.

"You know that nothing and no one could replace you, right?"

"I love you too, genius."

Donald chuckled, leaning down to kiss you.

That night, you enjoyed the baked goods as the team filled you in on their mission and leaned into your husband as you laughed, watching the four teenagers recreate the situation.

You placed a hand on your stomach when you felt a series of kicks and smiled softly, bringing Donald's hand over the kicks. His head turned immediately when he felt it and his eyes flickered to yours, a smile forming on his lips.

"I love you." He murmured.

"I love you too." You placed a hand on his cheek, kissing him gently.

"Seriously! We're right here." Leo whined.

"It's been two years. You think you would be used to it, by now." Chase replied, crossing his arms with a smirk.

You rested your head on your husband's shoulder with a smile. Your family may be wild at times, and it was far from normal, but it was a loving one. And you knew your baby was loved the moment you announced your pregnancy.

PLEASE tell me more about Sonmetadow! Anything at all- headcanons, meta, just rambling about them, anything!!

Sorry this is so late!! But I wanted to answer this for a while.

> Metal gradually develops complicated feelings the longer he’s allowed close proximity with his organic copy. As an AI he learns constantly, but given he’s only ever around Eggman his emotionally intelligence can only go so far. The more he watches, learns from, and mimics Sonic, the more his emotional intelligence grows. And the more he ‘feels’ what Sonic feels (this headcanon is derived from a mix of the OVA movie from the 90s and modern iterations).

> In my au, Metal naturally forms feelings for Shadow because SONIC has feelings for Shadow first. Metal inadvertently mimics these emotions and they develop the longer Sonic’s emotions influence him. In turn he becomes influenced by Shadow’s feelings…it’s a never ending feedback loop, feeding into one another.

> Metal may mimic their emotions to begin with, but as he becomes more advanced, he comes to grasp his own uniquely complicated feelings. He hated Sonic, but it was a hate he was programmed with. When hardwiring meets fallible emotion— which comes out on top? That’s the question. He now can no longer tell if he wants to be his organic copy or if he wants to be WITH him. Sonic has a unique ability to the touch the core of those he empathizes with, and I think if he got past Metal’s hardwiring/if that was ever compromised, Metal has the potential to be the most touched by him.

> He’s still learning, he never ‘finishes’ developing and therefore his feelings are ever evolving, the more self aware he becomes and can begin to pinpoint and predict his own feelings. Sonic is his primary guide in this, while Shadow (who is peak example of holding onto very complicated emotions) kind of learns alongside with him.

> Metal and Shadow bond a lot over things that have been brought up in canon. Shadow has a unique and interesting facet of his character in which he’s shown to consistently show a great empathy and understanding of robots and androids. Metal Sonic, Omega, Emerl, etc… Particularly with Metal, who has a similar dilemma as Omega, in which he’s a tool for the Doctor, like Shadow was. Whereas canonically Omega defected on his own, Shadow is trying to convince Metal to do it. He won’t hesitate to fight Metal, but he would prefer not to, and he’s set aside their necessary opposition to work with Metal in the past, who was even willing to take the chaos emerald from his own body to give Shadow a chance to warp back home. That’s pretty awesome.

> An interesting observation to me is that Shadow and Sonic are both often in opposition from a moral standpoint, they actually both share a goal with Metal. Both of them extend their hands in offering to him, and encourage him to make his own decisions independent of Eggman. And it’s not that Sonic and Shadow even want Metal to be a hero necessarily— even if Metal were to remain an adversary, they just want Metal to come to that decision on his own. Shadow and Sonic both have a strong sense of freedom in their own ways, and encourage others to exercise their own freedom even if it means that person continuing on their own opposing path.

> In a what-if scenario, seeing Sonic and Shadow combine their efforts to free Metal is really fascinating to me. Metal is like Shadow in the sense where it begs the question, can he really learn to love? Is he capable of that particular emotion? Can he grasp what romantic interest really means? He understands as best he can, and is still learning all the while… Yes, while Sonic and Shadow certainly hold a candle for one another by this point in the story, their ‘love’ is considerably complicated. They’re still rivals, after all. Rivals with benefits, I suppose! Except the longer they’re ‘stuck’ together (affectionate) the more they fall into a comfortable push and pull.

They become sort of inadvertently committed (though Sonic continues to see other lovers he’s kept up over the years, Knuckles and Jet), and it probably stems from the fact that Sonic is canonically one of the only (if not the only) people to touch his heart. They are both still guarded in their own ways, and would probably require many lifetimes over and over to fully learn and know the other, and it’s something they enjoy exploring.

The difference is, Shadow has endless time to learn about Metal, but only one lifetime to learn about Sonic. It’s sort of bittersweet, the way Sonic continues to live on through Metal after he’s gone in lots of little ways, but Metal is still his own unique personhood, and Shadow knows better than to think he could use him as a replacement.

Anyway, sorry for this wall of text!! I have a Lot of opinions and feelings on these guys. They’re my OT3 LOL. Please feel free to ask more questions whether it’s regarding my au or just sonmetadow as a concept in general because I have a never ending fountain of thoughts and scenarios on them.
