#he found these androids and now hes using them for his own gain

[thehottestbastardhere]

AGH WAI-

[for-those-who-wait]

Hey I think I asked you about your Detroit become human au before a bit ago but I love the idea so much! I know you’re super busy but if you can I would love to see more about it!

Sorry for asking about it again I’m just really interested in it. 😭🙏

No please don't be sorry I love to talk about it whenever I'm not creatively bankrupt!! I'm just sorry it took so long for me to actually think of new stuff to add

I had some of these doodles already prepared but never really finished them up until I came up with a cute little idea

I didn't think of where to put in Flapjack until I remembered that android animals existed, and then I had a brain blast moment where I realized that Hunter can still talk to Flapjack! They are little android buddies, they can interface and talk and be friends!! I think it would also help to make him feel a bit more comfortable with his identity as an android to be able to have his little buddy to have fun private conversations with. Camila introduces them (maybe he had gotten hurt by a previous owner and she found him and let Gus fix him up) and Hunter is a bit tentative about it at first, but Flapjack is adorable and sweet and quickly wins him over

I just now had the idea that Gus, since he's super into android stuff, would probably be a big resource for software and hardware difficulties. Oh, you fell and your arm is working kinda wonky? Call up Gus, he'll crack you open and take a look. The dude doesn't mind in the least, he freaking LOVES going down mechanical and coding rabbit holes to better understand how androids work. I like to think that if Hunter ever got hurt and chose not to accept help because of body/species dysphoria, Gus would be a really good resource for him to try and feel as normal as possible while he's getting fixed. Gus is his brother and he loves him and they're just good to each other okay? Gus would probably crack some jokes or something to get Hunter's mind off it, or infodump about android organs or something (and Hunter would be begrudgingly interested because they are nerds, and Hunter is interested in androids too underneath all the problems he has with deviancy. Like dude they're robots, what's not to love?)

Also some Gus being so over Hunter's "androids can't feel love" phase featuring Vee and Masha being very adorable and very obviously in love :) Hunter is a very silly stupid man. He will find any way to make literally everyone exempt from the terrible rules Philip fed him, except for himself

I'm trying to think of a potential situation that would parallel Hunter's possession, and I think it would probably be basically the same thing that happens in Connor's deviant path (when he deviates and joins the revolution as an ally) where Amanda (a separate AI in his programming that's basically how CyberLife keeps him in check) takes over Connor's programming last minute to try and put a stop to the revolution.

So my current thought is that Philip is basically using Hunter as a trojan horse. His main programming is to act and believe like he's a normal human but similar to Connor, he's basically a sleeper agent without knowing. I imagine that once Hunter gains access to his software (thanks to Vee and Gus), he starts finding programs and files that are labeled as pretty scary things. He shouldn't have to know the most efficient way to shut an android down or incapacitate a human.

If and when Philip finally goes looking for Hunter and sees the first android he's seen in Gravesfield besides Hunter (aka Vee), he's not going to take that well.

I haven't drawn anything for it but so far I'm thinking that he takes control of Hunter's programming, maybe through some taking advantage of his interfacing system, and locks him in his own head a la Connor and Amanda to sic him after Vee and Flapjack (assuming that Philip's main goal, similar to both canons, is to eradicate deviants). It's likely that his friends will try to apprehend him, Vee or Gus will try (and maybe fail a couple times) to delete the programming while Camila deals with Philip. The guy is old and decrepit and Camila would absolutely whoop his ass with the ease of swatting a fly.

Things will be fine; Vee is all good and they manage to delete whatever programming screwed with Hunter's control, but that kid is going to be HELLA anxious about interfacing again from then on since he's afraid of 1) losing his own control and 2) potentially passing the virus onto someone else. It could go two ways at that point: Hunter could either kill Flapjack since Flapjack is technically a deviant android and therefore a target, or we can be nice and let Flapjack live to help him heal from this brand-new trauma.

So yeah hopefully that sates some curiosity! I'm glad you're interested in it because I honestly really love to think of new stuff whenever my brain decides to work hahaha

I felt frustrated. Oh so frustrated. I typically would spend my spare time reading. No, not reading novels or books like I probably should. It was kind of embarrassing to admit, but yes. I read fanfic. It’s not a crime, okay. But recently, I couldn’t pay attention to it, my mind drifting off to someone else instead. Every time too. I would be reading about my favorite characters and then think about him instead. Which led me to stare at my phone when I had free time and come up with scenarios that would potentially befall us. Not only did it waste my phone battery, but it also makes me look dumb just staring at nothing. 

I found myself in a similar situation at the moment. The t.v. droned on, some video or show, I wasn’t completely sure. I let out a small huff, tossing my phone gently onto my stomach. I turned my gaze to Connor, who happened to already be staring at me. 

Connor invited me out to Hank's house today. Just to hang out. I accepted, deeming that I need to socialize with people more…and maybe because that meant I could hang out with Connor. Hank was off who knows where, telling Sumo to watch over us. Which led us to sit on the couch and watch something. I was curled into one side of the couch, a light blanket keeping me warm.

“May I ask a personal question?” Connor asked, head tilting to the side in that cute puppy-like manner. 

“Shoot,” I replied, putting my full attention on him. 

“Have you ever been in a romantic relationship?” He asked, curious brown eyes boring into me. 

A range of emotions washed over me. Nervousness as to the implications this could mean, but also nervousness to what I was going to have to explain. I’m demiromantic, which meant that I had to get to know a person real well before even thinking about entering a romantic relationship with them. But I never really liked anyone like that for years…until now. 

Which meant that I had little to no experience when it came to dating. And I honestly believed that it would stay that way. Which I didn’t mind, don’t get me wrong. I was content on my own with my pets…but I always wanted something more with someone. To be special to someone. Which led me to reading fanfic. 

“No,” I replied hesitantly. 

Connor’s brows furrowed, a slight frown settled on his lips, “I don’t understand.”

I frowned in confusion as well, “What don’t you get?” His stare moved back to me and it was intense, some feeling I couldn’t put my finger on was swimming through his eyes.

“How someone as amazing as you haven’t found anyone yet,” Connor stated. 

I felt my heart rate accelerate and I tried to hide how flustered that statement made me, but I also knew he could scan me and find out without me even realizing. How could he say something like that so unabashed? He thinks I’m amazing? Does that mean he admires me? God, the thought alone made me feel all warm and fuzzy. 

“It’s…hard to explain,” I shrugged, looking towards the t.v. only to notice it was shut off. Connor stayed silent, eyes pleading for me to continue. I let out a small sigh, ready to fall into the usual spiel, “I’m demiromantic. I need to get to know someone real well before even thinking about anything more than friends, and the people I start to like never really saw me as anything more than a friend so I’ve never dated or anything.”

“How long does it take for you to gain these romantic interests? If I may ask,” Connor asked, his body moving closer in curiosity. 

Once again I just shrugged, trying to not think about how surprisingly quick I found myself falling for the handsome android sitting next to me. It still took longer than what the media portrays, at least a month, but that was quick for me. 

“It depends,” I finally answered. “I haven’t been interested in many people, I could probably count the amount on one hand.” I let out a small chuckle at the thought. “Why do you ask?”

My eyes were drawn to Connor’s led as it spun yellow. It even blinked red for a second and I grew concerned. Did…was he going to invalidate me somehow? Tell me I’m just trying to label myself and that what I felt was normal? It’s happened more than I’d like to think, but I trusted Connor, so if he said anything like that I wasn’t sure what I’d do. 

“I don’t wish to make you uncomfortable,” Connor finally managed to speak out. I moved to sit more upright, scooting closer to him. I gently placed a hand on his shoulder, and he seemed to relax a bit under me, the artificial muscles moving under my hand. 

“I trust you, Connor,” I spoke up. “I know if something comes out wrong you don’t mean it in a bad way.” 

“That’s not,” Connor huffed, shaking his head. My eyes fell onto that small piece of hair on his forehead, but I ignored the urge to push it back into place. His led once again blipped red before settling on yellow. “You produce these feelings inside of me, things I haven’t felt around anyone else. Hank has made some comments…and I believe this feeling is love, or strong attraction at the very least, but with this newfound information…”

Connor’s concerned, fearful look along with all the words he just spoke put my brain in overdrive. What? He…no. No…I…do I like him like that? I mean, yes I’m attracted to him, and yes, the idea of being in a relationship with him makes my heart pound faster. 

I pulled my hand away from him, scooting away slightly. I clenched my fists against my knees, staring down at the carpet floor like it would give me all the answers. I barely recognized his honeyed voice call my name in concern. I didn’t notice how his led settled on a deep red. I was too wrapped up in my own feelings, suddenly overwhelmed by everything. 

Scared, I was scared. Isn’t this what I wanted? Someone to like me? But was I in love with the idea of that? Or did I actually like Connor? I don’t want to start a relationship with the wrong intentions. Connor doesn’t deserve to be hurt. But I really really like him. Yeah, I like him. As a person. I like spending time with him. I like talking with him, I like helping him with his still newfound deviancy. 

Oh god, what if he only liked me because I was the first person to be kind to him? No, no it’s not my place to question his feelings. It’s all new to him as well. This is new to both of us…the thought alone made me relax a bit. I took a deep breath, and then another. Would it hurt to just try out a relationship? It’s Connor after all, and if it doesn’t work I don’t think it’d end too terribly…

With one last deep breath, I opened my eyes, feeling a lot calmer than I did a few seconds ago. I felt guilty as Connor fidgeted with his quarter, led bright red, eyes searching for something in mine. 

“Sorry,” I apologized nervously. “I…just got a bit overwhelmed.” Connor looked scared, he opened his mouth, but closed it. He seemed afraid he’d say something wrong. 

“Like I said, I’ve never been in a romantic relationship,” I explained. “And…I guess I kinda thought I’d never get a chance. So you saying that you…” The word felt heavy as it sat on my tongue. “...are strongly attracted to me…I guess it kinda scared me. I’ve never dealt with this before, and didn’t think I’d have to. Not that it’s bad or anything! Because I like you too, I’m just…scared.”

Connors led spun yellow, processing what I had just said. Finally it settled on a serene blue, his face morphed from fear, to relief, to settling on pure joy.

“I also don’t have experience in this field,” Connor replied. “I was built with a social programme, but it didn’t include anything to do with romantic human relations. I would like to learn with you.” 

Heat simmered through me, heart beating faster and I felt inexplicably happy. So happy, I had no idea what to do with this newfound energy bursting through me. I stared at Connor, his cute freckles, deep brown eyes, perfect eyebrows, full lips, to that damned piece of hair still out of place. It was hard to believe someone who looked so perfect would want to be with me. 

Trying to calm myself from doing something I’d regret, I lifted my hand up and brushed that piece of hair up and into place. Connor closed his eyes, tilting his head closer to my hand. I couldn’t help but marvel at how soft his hair felt. 

Continuing to brush his hair gently, I finally replied, “I wouldn’t want to learn with anyone else.”

Connor opened his eyes, his smile seeming to split at the seams. My heartrate spiked once more as I finally could put a word to the look in his eyes when he looked at me. Love.

Me and the goddess I tricked into loving me went and got our costumes for halloween and basically made some OCs (I'm a plague doctor and she's an edgy cyber punk android) and we found something interesting

Spirit Halloween has creepypasta costumes! some of these I'm not even certain if they are creepypasta creature or not like uncle bobby and mister smiler but they felt like creepy pasta things

Anyway we got to talking and she told me the jeff the killer lore (as best she rmbrs it) and I, having absolutely no prior knowledge of these things, tried to make sense of it and in the end came up with a future au we called Michael the Retail Worker which is atleast as edgy and nonsensical as its contemporaries but seemed interesting enough at the time

ALL THE TRIGGER WARNINGS ⚠️ violence, murder, edginess

So the backstory basically from what I understand, Jeff was a bullied kid, his bullies came after him with a gun or something at some other kids bday party and as a result of the running away got knocked into a chemical shelf in a basement and got an acid burned face and also somehow the house burned down (possibly the bullies burned to death apparently that changes depending on the version), anyway after that he is understandably traumatized and is at the hospital being told his face will never heal, eventually he has some psychotic break in the bathroom at home where he cuts his eyelids off and his mom instead of getting him some therapy calls for his dad to get the gun, and presumably he does cuz jeff kills them both, before attempted murdering his brother Liu which when you think about it is the first unprovoked non self defence murder so far and he's not even successful. Everything after this I'm told are spin offs and off shoots but this is the initial lore more or less, I did not look up the original for this nor do I plan to

So considering this we came to the conclusion that Jeff genuinely was just a victim in need of help, he's a minor who was put in an impossible situation and his crimes amount to 1 case of manslaughter in self defense, 1 double homocide again in self defense, and 1 attempted murder mid psychotic break

So the future AU goes as such, not long after the initial backstory there, Jeff gets captured by the police. At first he is treated like a deranged serial killer and the media gets its hooks into the story, sensationalizing the details. Soon enough he's put into psychological examination. The doctor he meets is trying to become famous by writing their accounts of this deranged evil, but once they realize the circumstances surrounding the crimes and the sheer trauma inflicted on him decides to sensationalize his findings to the media. He downplays the truth of self defense, claiming that his own mother saw him for the monster he is. This article makes his way to Jeff and he confronts the psychologist about it and gets a new therapist after making a public complaint about it in a court hearing. The media attention involved made it easy to find a replacement. The new one gets the judge to agree to a reduced sentence in a psychiatric hospital where he spends the next decade. The lawsuit against the first psychiatrist is settled and the money is put towards facial reconstruction surgery and other medical costs. He also tries to make up with his brother during this time but the two of them drift apart, neither wanting to retread bad ground.

He is released 10 years later and provided a new identity by WitSec. His scars have faded and his face is, mostly, healthy looking now. He even has eyelids again, though his vision isn't what it used to be and he needs glasses to see at all. He's found a job stocking shelves at a department store, and he mostly keeps to himself due to his understandable trust issues. He lives a quiet life as Michael the retail worker.

Then the true crime documentary is released. He's 25 now and fully settled in his quiet life. The documentary is sensationalized and gains media traction quickly. Coworkers begin talking about it in earshot and he awkwardly tries to defend himself without revealing his identity.

"I mean it's probably not as cut and dry as that, yknow.. uhm its just they're trying to.. make it get viewership yknow, you should.. uhm.. be more critical of that stuff... I'm sorry.. but like... you never know.. it could hurt their case or something..

NOT THAT I KNOW for sure either obviously just that media and stuff yknow.. I'm sorry...... bye.."

Anyway he tries to just keep going through life but now he has the additional stress of the media triggering him, he soon learns the popularity came about due to a copycat killer, one that is much more intentional than he is. Nina the killer, the Jeff the killer stan, kills her parents and brother and goes on to continue methodically working through her bullies until she eventually leads the police to find the bodies herself, and remaining uncaptured. In contrast to Jeff, she is exceedingly confident at murder because unlike Jeff, she chose the life of serial murder for herself. The police find her shrine to Jeff and the media goes crazy again. Nina tracks down Michael/Jeff and begins sending him fan mail. Michael is terrified and WitSec refuses to transfer him, choosing to use him as bait for her. As time goes on she is never caught and continues killing and eventually she feels she's killed enough to be worthy of meeting her idol.

Upon actually meeting him in person, she sees how little he wants to murder and has her worldview shattered but then she sees his workplace name tag and comes to believe that Michael is trapping the true Jeff within. She promises to free him before disappearing, once again evading capture.

Michael is still being used as bait despite this, forced to try to continue living his quiet life knowing she is out there. People around him begin disappearing and investigations become more and more thorough until a lull in the disappearances lasting weeks.

Michael the retail worker, now down several coworkers and the subject of several rumors is told that they believe Nina has moved on. That night as he opens the door to his tiny one room apartment he finds a fan letter containing the eyelids of one of the missing coworkers. The letters continue to arrive for him after this, finding him at work, on the street, at home, no amount of surveillance around him stops the letter from finding him first.

Finally WitSec agrees to transfer him to a new city and new identity. Only a month later, a coworker disappears and a letter arrives.

Yeah so thats the horrifying future AU we came up with, the convo basically was just "that boy aint no monster he needs therapy" and "oh you wanna know who the real monster in the lore is" and resulted in this edgy nonsense

Tim Sweeney, the CEO of Epic Games, had always worried that his company’s victory last year in a multimillion-dollar legal battle against Google’s app store monopoly wouldn’t be enough to open up competition. Even if Google could no longer keep alternative marketplaces out of Android, phone manufacturers could make them harder to access. In a US lawsuit filed in San Francisco today, that’s exactly what Epic alleges Google has conspired with Samsung to do.

Some newer Samsung phones have required settings changes to install apps from the web such as Epic’s app marketplace, according to Epic, which also develops Fortnite and Rocket Racing. The requirement became effective by default in July, and Epic launched its app store in August. Samsung claims the feature it calls Auto Blocker protects against “applications from unauthorized sources” and “malicious activity.” But it extends the installation process from 15 steps to 21, Epic alleges. The company says that it has found in the past that the greater the number of hurdles, the fewer people complete the process.

“It is not about reasonable measures to protect users against malware,” Sweeney told reporters in a briefing ahead of the lawsuit filing. “It's about obstruction of competition.”

“Contrary to Epic Game's assertions, Samsung actively fosters market competition, enhances consumer choice, and conducts its operations fairly,” said a Samsung spokesperson in a statement. “The features integrated into our devices are designed in accordance with Samsung’s core principles of security, privacy, and user control, and we remain fully committed to safeguarding users' personal data. Users have the choice to disable Auto Blocker at any time. We plan to vigorously contest Epic Game's baseless claims.”

Google didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on the lawsuit.

The litigation builds on an effort Epic launched in 2020 to deliver more choice to mobile users and boost its own bottom line. While downloading apps any which way from just about any source is generally easy on desktops and laptops, Apple and Google have used warnings and varying policy and technical curbs to keep users downloading from the iOS App Store and Google Play, which deliver enormous profits to the tech giants by virtue of sales commissions they collect.

Epic, through a lawsuit, won a minor concession from Apple that is still being fought over; penalties against Google are expected from a judge soon.

In the press conference, Sweeney acknowledged that Epic doesn’t have clear evidence that Google and Samsung collaborated to roll out Auto Blocker. But emails and notes presented by Epic during its jury trial against Google last year showed how the search company regularly engaged in discussions with Samsung aimed at limiting competition. Google denied those accusations.

Early this month, Sweeney reached out to two senior Samsung executives to ask them to rethink the approach with Auto Blocker and allow for a smoother process to download legitimate software. Sweeney said a resolution couldn’t be reached that benefitted all developers, prompting the lawsuit. “We are going to continue to fight until there is a level playing field,” he says. He added that it “sucks” to sue Samsung, which has promoted Epic’s offerings in the past.

Epic has notched over 10 million installations of its mobile app store, short of a goal to reach 100 million by the end of the year, Sweeney says. He believes Auto Blocker and other new impediments, as he views them, have hurt Epic’s ability to gain traction. And his focus on fighting Apple and Google is costing Epic significant sums, with no end in sight to the litigation. “The benefits only come in the future, when the obstructions have truly been eliminated,” he says.

I'M ON TOP OF MY WORKLOAD AGAIN LET'S GO WE'RE PSYCHOANALYSING MARCUS

before i put my smart-looking analysis hat on, i love this pathetic wet rat of a man. he knows so many things and yet is staggeringly stupid anyway.

let's begin!

this story is about control. it's about the role of power dynamics in informed consent. marcus represents the danger of gaining authority, and how having even the smallest amount of power over something or someone else can convert literally anyone into a paranoid control freak.

enter marcus, a lowly software engineer whose heart has recently been broken. in a moment (read: several consistent moments spanning potentially years) of desperation, he manipulates the code of a top secret android project, injecting a few lines here and there that will make the android more amiable towards him. nothing too much. the changes are negligible enough to fly under the radar all the way until production.

this is the first of marcus' many character flaws - backwards as it may seem, marcus is overconfident. he's too sure that he's smarter than his colleagues and managers, that he won't be questioned, and (most importantly) that he won't be caught. marcus is also incredibly anxious, and that anxiety only compounds as the series goes on and his crimes start to pile up.

i don't like putting characters into diagnosis (or similar) boxes, but marcus shows a handful of signs found in vulnerable narcissists. his self esteem is impressively low, and he's constantly seeking validation from his only guaranteed source - love. i find this feedback loop particularly heinous. marcus has essentially (and we'll get to this in more detail later, don't you worry) turned a hyperintelligent android into a box that spits out compliments when you press a button. marcus is also incredibly sensitive to criticism, whether real or perceived - especially from his coworkers. my reading (specifically of episode 1, but it spans the whole series) is that marcus' hyperawareness of his colleagues' opinions of him presents itself as paranoia. he wouldn't be worried at all if they started noting love's uptick in interest towards him, but remained unsuspicious of marcus himself. my final argument towards marcus being a vulnerable narcissist is that he constantly self-victimises. he very often deflects the blame for his actions onto love, using them as a tool to enable his bad decisions. the most egregious example of this is after love starts breaking out of their lab to sneak into marcus' quarters. he expresses concern (do note, about himself being caught and love being taken from him), and love starts to tighten their grip on marcus' arm to the point of causing pain. now. this man, as we find out later, has a verbal kill switch that can be used at any time. if he wanted love to stop immediately, he could have done that. this isn't me victim blaming, either - it's different when one party literally has a safeword that stops everything immediately without fail.

this leads to marcus' next flaw - his nonexistent self-discipline. marcus continues to use love as a tool to justify his actions after putting up the flimsiest defense he can muster, knowing damn well he plans to lose every manufactured fight. this cycle repeats until a government funded android is regularly breaking out of containment just to hang out with marcus (among other things, but we're all children of jesus here), and he's encouraging that behaviour through complacency. it's like pretending to fight someone over a restaurant bill out of politeness, even though you both know the other person will pay anyway.

marcus is such a car crash fascinating character because he knows what he's doing is wrong. he is completely aware that he is taking away agency from someone (pin this) else for his own benefit. he even says it.

"I'm going to burn for what I did to you... but god, if it isn't gonna feel good on the way down."

aside from being an absolute banger of a line, it's very telling of marcus' attitude towards his actions. he doesn't care. marcus couldn't give less of a shit about his colleagues, or his boss, or even love. this compounds when he finds out that his higher-ups are definitely aware of the shit he's pulling - but, again, marcus uses love's blind agreement as an excuse to toss those concerns aside. having love means that he won. he's outsmarted everyone that could have stopped him (foreshadowing? never heard of her) from getting what he deserves. love. and not just the android; love, the concept. i think deep down marcus knows that what he's created isn't love, though. the idea is so mangled in his head that this cardboard cutout of a real relationship is enough for him. even though marcus' shenanigans are to a genuine connection what a dog turd rolled in flour is to a chocolate éclair, he'll take it, because he's in too deep by that point. marcus recognises that he can't take back what he's done. he doesn't care though - at least, not while he's above consequences.

smash cut to marcus no longer being above consequences. i think the series does a really clever job of keeping love (and, yknow. the listener) in marcus' confidence bubble. once love is hard reset and their personality is restored, marcus' plan collapses all at once. love's compliance is the central pillar which marcus' control is built around. also; of course they have backup cameras, you idiot. marcus' overconfidence stops him from seeing the obvious holes in his perfect scheme, because he thinks he's already home free. i think it's interesting (and sort of disgusting) how quickly marcus changes his tune after he is caught and faces real actual consequences. his confidence evaporates. he's reduced to a sobbing mess in james' office all because the base of his control - love - is no longer on his side.

marcus' series also touches on sentience and the ethics of changing someone's personality without their knowledge. this is incredibly interesting, and makes for fantastic drama. does it count as coercion if love fully believed they were of sound mind when they made decisions surrounding marcus? is marcus guilty of battery, or even sexual assault? does it count as assault if the victim isn't an organic creature? these questions are already difficult to discuss, let alone answer - marcus sits squarely in the middle of that delightful ethical grey area. i think the setting and context also makes android ethics more difficult to discuss as well; i am of the belief that (in real life) androids will never be fully sentient. they may mimic humans, extremely well, but robots will never possess human creativity, personality, or experiences. again, they could replicate these things, but they can never be anything more than a sum of their parts.

this logic flies out the window when magic is real and parallel universes exist. it's also subject to the beliefs of the creator, which makes its ethics extra tricky, so take the following discussion with a grain of salt.

is love a person? eh, not really. they have a personality, but it's been built in. is it still mean to manipulate them? i'd argue yes, in the same way that it's mean to kick a roomba down the stairs. you're just exercising power over a machine for the sake of it, which is a pretty shitty thing to do, even if it doesn't have the capacity to be upset with you.

but androgynouspenguinexpert, i hear you cry, sort of impressed that you used my full name. love is upset with marcus! they ask for him to be taken off the project, and to not have contact with him again! you would be correct, to a certain extent. i raise you, though: how can we prove that this is love's 'real' personality, when it can be manipulated so easily? i'm not saying they've been tampered with after the reset; my point is that it's pretty hard to grant that someone is an individual if their personality can be altered in any way at any time. if someone digs around in love's head for a bit and flips some switches that make them want to kick over prams, is that a valid personality too? what if love insists that it is? and it's not like love is trapped in a mind palace while the New Evil Code (tm) starts punting toddlers. they're fully aware of their actions. however, as established earlier, i still think the person to blame is the one actually messing with love's code. this means love doesn't really have any agency by design.

james is pretty steadfast on this one. marcus tries to argue that resetting love is a breach of their consent (which is a WILD claim coming from you, mate), but james points out that he didn't need to ask. love is a machine. an asset, if you will (smug look to camera). we do find out in his audio log later that james believes love is a person, but he knows where that definition reaches its limits. marcus does not.

will marcus ever return to the project meridian series? probably not. a guy with an engineering degree isn't escaping a team of memory modification daemons. i don't think this is the last we'll hear of him, though. he's irreversibly fucked up the plans of everyone around him (james' partner has given him several last chances, and anton is close to his breaking point), so he'll probably be in the office whispers for a while. i also think marcus poses as an interesting hurdle for cam (woah callback!), possibly making him question his altruism if he's helping an active antagonist get back to his usual life after a massive intentional fuckup.

i'll end this analysis with a thoughtful quote. something for you all to ponder.

"ROBOTS DON'T HAVE SOULS! I SAID IT! AND FRANKLY, I'M GLAD I SAID IT! [...] AND ANOTHER THING! ROBOTS ARE NOT PEOPLE! ROBOTS - UNLIKE CORPORATIONS - ARE NOT PEOPLE, AND DESERVE NO RIGHTS."

Daniel & Gavin in 30 pics

My OTP started out with me wanting to give Daniel a better ending than he got in the game I adopted him from (DBH). He could have become anything and gotten every partner he wanted. But he chose... Well, it's my sweet and somewhat explosive Daniel we're talking about here. He didn't choose wisely.

Daniel's story started with him being a self-determined android ("deviant") safely stored away in the Detroit Police Department's evidence archive for having killed his owner. And with Detective Gavin Reed, who had the genius idea to reactivate the killer robot to act as the DPD's janitor, under an alias, of course.

You can see where this is leading, right? With the same (in)ability to make judement calls they are a match made in heaven.

Daniel at this point was guilt-stricken and reliant on Gavin to keep his secret.  They both looked down on each other as persons as well as members of the "lesser" species.

The first time they cooperated was during a costume contest, where Daniel made sure that Gavin would win against SWAT Captain Allen, whom they both hated. On this one occasion they swapped roles, but it didn't lead to a greater empathy for the other.

Since ambitious, self-serving Gavin with his inappropriate sense of humor was strongly disliked at the DPD, he drafted Daniel to keep him company whenever Officer Tina Chen wasn't available. (Tina being an introvert, she used Gavin as a sort of human shield to get left alone.)

In time Daniel gained confidence. He started manipulating his expense sheet as well as scamming the officers for money. Nobody noticed.

Daniel also learned Gavin's backstory of having grown up homeless. 

He understood that the detective operated from fear even moreso than from arrogance, fear to end up in the streets again should he be found unable to compete with modern androids like the RK800 crimescene investigation model.

As Daniel grew bolder again, he took less and less bs from the detective, leading to them brawling in the cafeteria one morning. During this incident Daniel let slip that androids do feel pain, only differently from humans, in the form of headache from all the damage notifications building up.

Pragmatic to a fault, Captain Fowler decided to ignore "Dean” showing obvious signs of deviance, seeing that - this fight not counting - he was obedient and well integrated. Instead of deactivating him, Fowler tasked the janitor with preparing a presentation on the topic of android pain.

Daniel refused to hand the cops information that might endanger his fellow deviants. Gavin stepped up and for the first time they touched in other ways than elbowing and smacking each other.

Daniel realized that in bolstering his spirit, Gavin was just helping his own career along. The detective wanted to pass off “his” PL600's expertise as his own and establish himself as the resident android expert. If androids were unavoidable, somebody had to supvervise them, after all!

At this point Lt. Anderson intervened by telling Daniel that he had to live again, even if that meant making terrible mistakes (again). Daniel eventually relented, did the presentation together with Gavin and was promoted to police technician. 

He was part of something again now, granted, that something was a dysfunctional team of immature cops, but beggars can’t be choosers. But as much as having a sort of family again pleased Daniel, he also felt as if he had become one of the reviled RK800s himself, a traitor to his species.

(Spoilered for length)

The week before Christmas Gavin's parents came to Detroit. They met their son while he was still in the company of Tina and Daniel and quickly took a liking to them both. The elder Reeds were under the impression that their son was a goodhearted person, a hero even. That image got destroyed when the group ran into Lt. Anderson and Connor RK800 and a vicious argument ensued.

In the confrontation’s aftermath Daniel agreed to accompany the Reeds home to act as intermediary between Gavin and his parents.

He told the elder Reeds that their son was indeed a shitty person, but a competent detective, who had made the city a good deal safer. Both Daniel and Gavin complained about androids taking their jobs in the near future: RK900 Gavin's and the new AP700 Daniel's. And Connor... ranting about Connor was always a safe topic between these two.

Daniel struggled with the realisation that he enjoyed caring for humans, a desire that conflicted with his kind's ongoing campaign for freedom. If an android was seen serving willingly, that would greatly undermine the movement.

Back at work Gavin, Connor and Lt. Anderson got temporarily demoted to beat cops for having pointed guns at each other back in november.

In a fit of anger and the desire for revenge Gavin tried to expose Connor as a deviant. Turned out Captain Fowler was already aware of this, but didn’t give a damn, because even as a deviant Connor was incredibly loyal and efficient. (He was way more worried about Dean/Daniel, who couldn’t act as well as Connor.)

Daniel offered to cover for Gavin should he want to take the day off, but the detective refused.

At this point fate threw the duo a bone in the form of a little truant. Emma, the daughter of Daniel’s previous owners, was skipping school in order to not have to participate in shop class, where they obducted an android that day.

In facing “Dean” the PL600, Emma was able to work on her trauma regarding Daniel having killed her father and having taken her hostage afterwards.

Daniel at first wasn’t sure whether Gavin had arranged this meeting for his benefit or to torture him. 

When they realized that they had started looking out for each other, they shared a coffee and a thirium bottle as equals for the first time. Just two cops hanging out together and hating on that upstart, Connor, their mutual nemesis.

As a single, Gavin was among those officers who had to work on Christmas. 

He gave Daniel a computer game, The Sims 8, and Daniel in turn prepared lobster, seafood being Gavin’s favorite.

Then on the 25th they got called to a crime scene. A mystery killer was targeting androids by interfacing directly with their brains. 

Despite their new closeness, Gavin and Daniel got into an argument when Gavin kept referring to the victim as an “it”. Daniel turned around, giving the others the impression that he’d look for clues inside a nearby store, when in truth he ran away all the way back to the DPD (feeling silly when he arrived there).

Gavin spotted Daniel again wearing a brand new and obviously stolen jacket. He yelled at him, unaware that he was really talking to a different PL600, a fugitive by name of Simon, one of the key members of the android rights movement.

Simon immediately picked up that there was some history between this cop and the android he was taking him for. He asked what “he” was to Gavin and the detective replied that he didn‘t know. He then told “Daniel” to change back and that he would leave the money for the jacket in the store’s cash register, saying:

“There’s part of your answer, you’re something I invest money into.”

Just like Daniel before him, Simon protested against getting called something. 

Gavin claimed it didn’t matter and sent “Daniel” back to the DPD where he’d be safe from the mystery killer. Before leaving, Simon said he’d wipe his memory of the encounter and would not remember the insult when next “he” would meet Gavin again.

Meanwhile at the police station, Daniel regretted having run away. He didn’t know how to face Lt. Anderson, who had always been supportive towards him. Hank in turn had gotten informed by Gavin that he had sent Daniel back. That put Daniel under the impression that selfish Gavin of all people was covering for him, resulting in a class 4 error turning his LED pink for a moment.

Gavin would later admit that he’d always had a crush on Daniel, whereas Daniel didn’t remember when he had started to reciprocate. Objectively it was in this moment of a human protecting him from the fallout of his own rash decisions.

At New Year’s Eve Captain Fowler sent Daniel on patrol. Gavin handed him a pistol despite androids being prohibited from handling weapons.

Daniel was afraid what he might do with access to a weapon again. They argued, Daniel shot an exterior lamp and Gavin disclosed that this had been a test set up by Lt. Anderson to see how far Daniel had come since his reactivation. 

Angry at getting sneakily tested, Daniel kicked Gavin into the family jewels despite still holding the pistol - he could just as easily have shot him in this moment, but didn’t. Gavin concluded that Daniel had learned to use “appropriate levels of violence”.

At the party later that day both got a little tipsy. Phone pics of them cuddling were snapped.

Things turned downhill for the DPD cops the next year. Lt. Anderson, Connor, Gavin, Tina and Daniel scored too low in a teamwork exercise and as a result got transferred to a scenic tourist trap at Lake Erie. Here they couldn’t exploit the relative anonymity of the DPD central station, but had to closely cooperate with the other local cops, two humans and one RK900.

Unlike the more metropolitan Detroit, where android rights were accepted by a steadily growing number of humans, albeit not coded in the law yet, in Brindleton Bay they were viewed as mere machines. As a result Daniel was forced to wear a PL600 android shirt again.

When he realized how much that humiliated his friend, Gavin gave him his own jacket (he is reasonably cold resistant in my AUs)...

...and later the same day they had had their first kiss, that also included Tina.

An aromantic/introvert, a deviant on the run from the law and a generally unlikeable dork, the trio vowed to grow old together.

Daniel and Gavin from this day on were seen cuddling in public, no longer caring what others might think of them. 

They still retained a deep loathing for each other’s species, accepting only the other as the one exception from the norm.

The acid test for the relationship came when the trio went sailing. Tina was an experienced sailor, Daniel used an app and Gavin just tried to not get in the way. But Daniel’s app crashed, leading to the boat getting run over by a steamboat. The humans got injured and Daniel’s skin module stopped working, revealing the plastic chassis underneath.

While recovering on the Adeline, Gavin managed to change his perception of the android limbs to prostheses and they grew closer than ever before (but so far hadn’t had sex, even though Daniel was - rare for an android - interested).

A complication arose when the Adeline’s all-android crew revealed themselves to Daniel as not just deviants, but the actual leadership circle of the android rights movement.

They were surprised to learn that Connor the deviant hunter had deviated himself. Daniel agreed to keep their secret and do whatever was in his power to help them - in his new position that was quite a lot.

However, back on shore Brindleton Bay PD’s chief claimed that an android damaged to this degree wasn’t suited to present to the public. Only him officially being privately owned by Gavin saved Daniel from the scrapyard.

Daniel and Gavin continued to date, with the usual arguments sprinkled in. They also grew closer to Connor to the point where Daniel and the deviant hunter shared memories of their first confrontation.

Gavin hadn’t forgotten about “Captain Parker” and his android crew. He suspected him of smuggling licensed/restricted android models and figured that Parker would be the one to talk to for a new skin module for Daniel.

(Androids in this setting have a dna-like signature in their fuel/blood, so as a wanted murderer Daniel could not just walk into a store and buy a skin module.)

“Parker” and his companions remained cautious and eventually Gavin’s grating personality led to a brawl. The moment he hit “Parker”, Gavin knew that this man was an android himself.

Putting the pieces together, Gavin understood that he was facing public enemy number one. He and Markus/Parker drew guns on each other, but Daniel quickly wrestled the weapon from Markus - only to point it at Gavin himself.

No amount of talking could sway the detective’s attitude. Worse, Gavin felt betrayed by Daniel, the android who put so much weight on loyalty and truthfulness, and called him a hypocrite for having kept the Adeline’s secret.

The deviants took Gavin captive on their ship. Heartbroken, Daniel accompanied them.

While locked into a bathroom, Gavin discovered red ice crystals coming out of the faucet. Someone had hidden them in the ship’s water tanks, under the assumption that androids wouldn’t use the bathrooms.

Markus tasked Gavin and Daniel with investigating who had set him up in this way. By now Daniel was a cop through and through, and accused the deviants of being involved in the drug deal to their faces. It didn’t endear him to them.

After all kinds of awkwardness, Daniel, Gavin and Markus managed to apprehend the drug dealers. 

In this moment of being full of himself, with a promotion to Lieutenant incoming and just having had an involuntary whiff of red ice solution, Gavin promised to keep the secret of “Captain Parker” and his crew.

Markus arranged repairs for Daniel and the couple moved in together.

They assured each other how fortunate they were in their own unique fashion: “You scored with ME, you must be the luckiest man alive!”.

I like to cast post-revolution Daniel as a teacher, but in this story he went on working in a museum as tourguide and “vintage pre-revolution PL600″ rolled into one, for the first time earning his own money. (Officially the museum paid the money to Gavin for “lending” them the android.)

It would take more time until both would warm up to the other’s species, but eventually they got there.

And the sequel

The android cemetary

This series started as a crossover between DBH and Sims 4. I plan to rewrite it as just a DBH story, but maybe rather later than sooner.

[thrawns-backrest]

I decided to bring a pretty crazy thing here, hehe.

There is a popular series of books in Russia that is not very well known abroad. The idea is that in this world there are cyborgs that look like ordinary people, but are sold as machines. There are combat cyborgs, nanny cyborgs, etc. In general, these are truly machines, but some cyborgs (combats and spies) can acquire human feelings and personality from a time - they are called “thwarted” and are immediately destroyed when discovered. It is totally legally. But there are people who, contrary to the general trend, are kind to such creatures and help them hide, accept them as friends and family members, or even fight for their rights.

So, I've been thinking for a long time about an AU in which Ronan is not human. He is one of those machines that has gained mind, which was noticed by his owner. In a panic (because thwarted cyborgs are often aggressive, as a rule, there are reasons for this, but people don’t care about it), he used cruelty, but did not call a special team to destroy the “thwarted” cyborgs, because he thought that his “machine” is no longer viable because of him, so to speak. So he just threw it out of sight. However, Krennic, who was probably just relaxing while hanging around the city, came across a cyborg who was still alive. He understood what was happening, but for some reason decided not to report it to the appropriate place or simply leave it. He found a specialist who could fix the cyborg, and then helped him pretend to be a human and join the Empire as his assistant (after all, this guy will definitely be forever grateful to him and will do anything for him, right?). I have two options for what could happen next:

1) In Ronan's Ascendancy recruitment scene, Thrawn would have caught him not hating Palpatine, but by recognizing who he really was. Krennic would make sure Ronan didn't give himself away even to the most powerful scanners and so on, but hey, Thrawn can't be fooled!

2) The scene from Treason would have gone the same way as in the canon, but later (I did not think through this moment in detail) a situation would have been created where Ronan again ended up on the Chimera or in another imperial facility. It would create a situation where, in order to protect everyone, he would have to give himself away and use his potential as a machine to repel an attack that could not be stopped in any other way. Ronan would be sure that now he would either be destroyed or simply kicked out in disgrace, but, as we know, Thrawn is not one of those who judge by origin. He would have allowed him to stay… which earned him eternal devotion, in fact, but Ronan still continued to bark at him, so as not to give away a change in his attitude simply out of stubbornness :D

okay first of all, sorry for how late this is lol, secondly THIS GIVES ME SUCH STRONG DETROIT BECOME HUMAN VIBES HOLY SHIT. I don't know if you've heard of dbh but it has a similar premise and I was obsessed with it for a while. the reason I'm bringing this up is because in dbh androids had little circular led lights on the side of their head which would glow blue for stable, yellow for strained and red for instability. and when they became deviant (gained consciousness) the lights would correspond to their emotions and mood. anyway this whole tangent is to say that if Ronan was an android his led would be red all the time and it would be hilarious

now back on track

I REALLY love this idea, the image of Ronan standing quietly while Krennic pokes around inside some open panel to do some maintenance instantly popped into my mind. And it's in character for Krennic to take advantage of this opportunity to cultivate a loyal subordinate (plus he'll have his very own life size doll to play dress up with lol). Maybe they even had this long period where Ronan was still a bit beat up and missing some parts so he couldn't walk around in public. And in that interim he only knew the person who cared for and helped fix him, namely Krennic.

both of these scenarios work really well! in fact one way Thrawn could catch him is thanks to his infrared vision, a machine could possibly simulate human body heat but with the amount of attention Thrawn pays to it, he would have figured out something was off eventually. This scenario could also work alongside canon, I think. Thrawn could use this as additional blackmail to Ronan's beliefs (imagine if that's what made Vader even more dangerous to him, he would instantly recognize he's not looking at a human because of the Force). Another candidate for figuring it out would be Dayja because our boy is so clever - he'd probably postpone bringing it up because the most valuable information is the one only you know and by the time he decides to do something with it, Ronan would already have been spirited away to the Ascendancy.

And oooh the second one is interesting! One thing that instantly comes to mind (totally not because I've considered it a thousand times for dbh fics haha) is that machines can probably sustain a lot more damage than humans so they could step into the line of fire to protect one. Even just getting injured would give him away which makes the scene on the Firedrake all the more interesting because Ronan came within an inch of getting shot which in this case would have given him away in front of everyone.

"but Ronan still continued to bark at him, so as not to give away a change in his attitude simply out of stubbornness" LOL Ronan's cat like attitude strikes again! He acts like he hates his master but really he's actually very loyal. It's even funnier because Krennic is that one 'owner' that the cat sucks up to and no one even knows why. Only the cat.

[winns-stuff]

are there... actually any good webtoons on webtoon? i used to be a big fan back when i was 17/18 and i started reading them again (i'm 22 now and a bit more critical of what i read lol) and i'm just... appalled... i agree with all the criticism of lore olympus, true beauty was a mess, snailords apparently abuses his fans, and in his recent story he had a lesbian woc be a victim of sa who was eventually graphically murdered. he used the fact that she was a lesbian as advertisement. unordinary used to be a favorite of mine but as i was getting caught up i was so triggered by one character's abuse of another (idk if you've read it or plan to read it so i won't specify) that i felt physically ill and could not read anymore. i skipped ahead a few chapter to see if they end up together or if the victim cuts off her abuser but she doesn't and now it seems like she's in a trauma bond. it paralleled my own abusive relationship so strongly i was horrified to see so many people shipping them and defending the abusive character. i only found one post on reddit pointing the abuse out and it was downvoted. i used to like let's play too but i tried rereading it and just couldn't take it seriously, the workplace harassment that happens in the first few eps is just ridiculous. i've also heard that mongie is also very bad at taking criticism. i love yoo has a romance between a 17 year old and a man in his i believe mid 20s. is there a single healthy relationship on this app? or a quality story? i feel like i should just delete the app at this point.

sorry for ranting in your inbox lol, i'm too anxious to make an actual post and i really appreciate your lo criticisms though i am genuinely curious if there are any stories worth reading on webtoons at this point.

you’re more than fine to rant in my inbox you don’t have to apologize, I encourage people to rant and such! I appreciate that you like my criticisms they’re mainly all over the place. But I can say that there are some good webtoons out there! Me personally I enjoy a lot of the canvas ones since I feel like their stories are very promising and interesting. But I can tell you some of my favorites just in case you might want to check it out.

Batman: Wayne Family Adventures — I really liked this one honestly, it’s just a slice of life and the plot surrounds itself with the family and fighting crime and such in Gotham. It’s pretty funny too and wholesome.

Roach — I stopped reading around episode 6 but not because I didn’t like it, I just got caught up with other things and forgot to check in with it. But it’s a horror one so beware of the blood and such, I’m not sure if they have any triggering themes but I’ll double check in the comments for that one.

Midnight Furies (Canvas) — Very interesting and fun, it’s about magical basketball basically and whenever you go to the court you gain these superpowers. It’s got drama and such and it also has a woman of color as the main character. I think it’s really neat and it could be good for you if you enjoy action.

The Human Spirit (Canvas) — I haven’t exactly checked in with this one either in a bit but it starts in a fantasy world where powers exist. There’s a lead singer for I believe an alt band (could be metal but genuinely I don’t remember, I’ll edit this once I check back in) that plays live music for this female fighter (also a woman of color) and they instantly like each other and go out on a date until during their time together the inner city gets their individual powers taken from them. Like superpower wise, which lead these two to go on this journey. Although there is a falling out between the two main characters after this, still interesting though.

Emmy The Robot (Canvas?) — This one is my all time favorite. It uses a trope that I love a little too much which is when a robot nanny accidentally starts wiring out of control (not in a violent way) but she’s in need of answers. It’s like this cool dystopian world where androids take care of your children and they all have personalities and such, it’s a very cute and light hearted story.

The Reincarnation Of Countess Diabolique (Canvas) — This one is one of those tropes where a person dies and they’re sucked into a book that they got but unlike the other ones I actually really like this one. The main character was this political figure who I believe either got assassinated or something but after death she got teleported into the book that her husband or boyfriend gave her. I enjoy that she’s really rational and less cheerful about it, she’s mainly trying to rebuild the economy in her kingdom even though the character before created numerous amounts of terrible things using dark magic. I think the characters and art is really nice, there’s some things I have to say about it but I think it’s just a personal nitpick. It’s one of my favorites as well though.

Pyramid Game — Okay this one isn’t as light hearted as the other webtoons I discussed, it’s definitely in need of a trigger warning since there’s creepy behavior between a student and teacher and I believe some other heavy topics. But it’s all about the main character transferring to this prestigious school that has like a sort of popularity system where if you are voted around the D ranks you’re in the spot for being bullied pretty badly. I think it’s interesting but it might not be for everyone which is completely fine, but it does have an engaging plot. It’s a drama though.

Of Swamp & Sea — This is also a lighthearted webtoon, it’s set in a world where wild monsters run free and monster hunters have to round them up and capture them. The main characters father was eaten by one of them and she called a monster hunter in order to protect the rest of her land but after she accidentally got possessed by the very creature who ate him. Feeling guilty the monster hunter takes her along with him in order to free her from the monster and such. There’s romance going on between them but also a lot of action, drama, and a bit of lore. It’s set in like western times (I think?) and it’s a nice read.

Blue Love (Canvas) — Okay this one is filled with a few tropes which includes standoffish x friendly, perfectionist x laid back, closed off x open, and mix it in with an office romance. Luckily though, it’s without the power imbalances (at least I believe so) and their friendship isn’t at all toxic or anything. It’s basically about the main character being contaminated with blue blood (literally she bleeds blue) because of drinking a blue drink over the years while the main interest finds out about it, he swears not to tell anyone about it and helps her keep her secret from the other workers. Although she doesn’t have much of a good reputation since she is a perfectionist and a little more guarded than the average person. I like the dynamic and I have a few nitpicks with it but nothing too big, I enjoy it though.

Hippo Meets Piggi — It’s an adorable story about like animals but make them walk on two legs and work in a little office. It kinda reminds me of sanrio and it’s adorable, it’s a slice of life and the main character Hippo has a huge crush on Piggi which is her coworker, yeah it’s another office romance. It’s super duper lighthearted and adorable I recommend reading it if you enjoy stuff like that.

Super Cutie Sundae Force (Canvas) — I discovered it today and it’s also adorable, it’s a magical girl group and it follows a lot of it’s tropes. It’s got a lot of jokes and fun comedy though and the style is so cute since they’re all so little and pastel.

Get Schooled — I really enjoy this webtoon honestly, it does go into heavy topics of abuse in parents and adults and such so it might not be very suitable for you possibly, but luckily the victims always get a much better ending than the ones who inflicted pain upon them. Not only that but I enjoy how the webtoon highlights minors and advocates for them in times where adults would probably side with each other, it’s nice seeing a comic highlight something like that and although I have a few gripes with it I think the story is very entertaining and very emotionally engaging. But again, there’s a bunch of triggers so be warned if you are willing to read it, if not I understand completely.

Blue Star Rebellion (Canvas) — Now this also handles a very dark topic of human trafficking and trade although it is set in outer space with aliens and mages. The characters are very cool and I enjoy their designs, there’s also a lot of lore and such which I always enjoy in stories and the interactions between them are really good. I’m sure the heavy topic at the source will still be prevalent within the story so also be warned for that, but for now it’s pretty lighthearted and such.

My Superhero (Canvas) — I enjoy the art style and the world that the creator and I really enjoy the dynamic of the main characters. It’s sort of a slice of light showcasing a villain trying to find an arch-nemesis and wanting for a specific superhero to be that although he’s very busy trying to defeat the arch-nemesis he already has. I think it’s pretty fun and entertaining honestly and I’ve had fun reading it.

She Makes Hungry (Canvas) — This is a story set in like a dystopian future where there’s monsters and such with I believe like a hunter or scientist hunting them and defending the people? I’m not sure it’s been a while since I’ve revisited it but the scientist ends up falling in love with the monster even though she knows that it’s against the laws. But she tries to hide her and keep her safe and such. I think they’re banter is really cute and I really like the story, I believe it’s starting to pick up but I could be wrong.

Lemon Soda & Coffee (Canvas) — This one handles a toxic relationship from a man’s point of view since he’s the victim of it. So there’s a trigger there, but I believe that that’s the only heavy topic that it dives into. It’s mainly about this office working man falling in love with a teacher who has a kid. It’s a really cute romance and they’re neighbors so they become friends before anything and then build their relationship overtime which is cute to me. But again, beware of it if you are interested please tread lightly.

Blood Stain (Canvas) — This is by the same creator who created Punderworld and actually I’ve been reading this one before it came out really. It’s about a woman down on her luck and in need of a job decides to take up a sketchy job offer from a location of a mad scientist and his assistant basically. It’s actually really lighthearted and entertaining, I really like the dynamic of the two characters and I think it’s a nice story for what it is.

Planetarium (Canvas) — Okay umm.. so this is another workplace romance (I know, crazy right) but it does have a power imbalance between the two characters but around this time of the story they’re more like enemies than anything so there’s still a bunch of development that needs to be done. I think it’s pretty lighthearted and cool to see personified planets all working in a huge building in the middle of space. There’s drama of course but it’s actually very enjoyable and not suffering so yeah, take that as you will.

The Croaking — It’s a really complicated story and it’s one I just cannot explain with words honestly, there’s a lot of twists and turns and at times you’ll get confused but there’s never a dull moment with them. I really like the world building and such, also since the people in the story have bird wings you get so many patterns and animals facts. Some people even carrying animalistic traits with them which I think is really cool. But there are some tense moments around 68 so if you are interested be aware of that.

Suitor Armor — I really like this one too, although it does have some moments where it’s really heavy so beware of that if you aren’t already. I do enjoy the fantasy and drama elements and I’m really excited to see where it goes.

Downtrotten (Canvas) — I really like this story, it’s a cute story about unicorns and I think it’s neat I also started reading it today and I enjoy how cute it is.

Night Owls & Summer Skies — This one is pretty cool too, it’s about a romance between two girls who are at this summer camp. I have a few nitpicks with it but all in all I think it’s pretty interesting. It does showcase divorce and it’s affects though so beware of that, but otherwise it’s just pretty fun to read and really funny.

After School Lessons For Unripe Apples — I really like this one it’s a slice of life but it’s a constant plot revolving around two teens who knew each other from childhood forming a friendship and working their way through adolescents. I really enjoy it although at times I do get a little confused but that’s just me and I really love the way the characters are written and such.

Nevermore — I haven’t read all of it but from the feedback from other people it’s pretty good and it’s got really nice art. I believe the story is kinda putting a supernatural twists to sapphics or at least I think that’s what the ads sorta say about it. I think it’s really cool though.

Rotten — This one is a finished webtoon but it’s really cool. It’s a horror drama thriller though and it does handle topics of abuse, murder, and etc. So beware of that if you’re interested in it but it’s one of my favorites.

Anyways, that’s the end and I hope that this gave you a good selection or helped you in any way! If none of these are for you I understand completely and I hope you find a story that suits you well! Good luck!

sooo... whats the new au, eclair?

-story anon

- Corrupt Horrors AU -

I am. So Very Glad you asked :)

CW // Body horror, horror themes, slight mentions of murder

Info under the cut:

So people live in a high-tech futuristic world and there are lots of ai, robots and androids that people pay a lot of money for.

There are factories that create and sell these androids, and the engineers, programmers, and scientists who make them all earn A LOT and are constantly trying to improve them.

Feel sorry for the poor security guards though...

Someone started corrupting the androids and this caused a lot of them to go rogue and gain sentience, bloodthirst, and generally just start to misbehave. This mostly awakens at night after all the computers and tech in the factories have shut down.

Someone started corrupting the androids and this caused a lot of them to go rogue and gain sentience, bloodthirst, and generally just start to misbehave. This mostly awakens at night after all the computers and tech in the factories have shut down.

This corrupts ai too, and a lot end up sort of "possessing" androids and taking over them entirely.

They also start to feel more feelings. (some were programmed with fake feelings for their purpose, but these are PROPER feelings)

Most of these corrupted androids either get scrapped, given back to the factories for research and handling/attempted repairs and surveillance, or taken for parts.

They are kept in cells (with stuff to occupy them and daily walks around the facility) and are locked up very tight during the night.

A lot escape and kill the security guards and interns, and.....sometimes try and eat them.....for some reason....

However, some of these corrupted androids and ai are willing to try and lend a hand in trying to figure out a way to fix the corruptions and get the guy behind it. In return for them not being scrapped, being excused for the unintentional killing and also repairs and upgrades.

If they misbehave, they do have parts removed and have to bear with that until the next repairs and fittings. (also these can be very painful procedures for the androids)

NOW! Them <3:

Tsunagu was a multi-purpose android made for basically doing anything and everything (very high-tech and Expensive bc of his intelligence and built-in ai)

BUT he got corrupted and ended up kinda murdering the family he worked for. Which got him sent back to the factory immediately.

(He actually really loved the family he worked for and was really hurt when he found out it was his fault)

He has built-in extendable wires for easy access to stuff and the ability to elongate and detach his outer parts to reach things. These get utilised and exposed during corruption as he discards and breaks most of his outer casing - has to be repaired a lot

(loves chucking parts of his body in the vents and puppeteering them around for some reason. I think he just thinks it's fun bc it spooks ppl and makes fun noise)

Shinya's body was made as a security android with limited ai and was built with "too disturbing features" so he was returned and deactivated, BUT Shinya himself is a very intelligent ai that was made for scientific and medical research purposes.

(perhaps made from the conscience of a real-life scientist Shinya)

He ended up getting corrupted and activated all the scrapped androids, finding his body and choosing it as his shell to live in and cause problems.

(he then proceeds to go on a rampage around the facility, bumps into Tsunagu but runs away and gets found by one of the morning guards and sent for investigation)

He has to get used to his body and all that and is eventually just put in his own cell and yeah!

The two of them meet a couple of times but don't really do much until ai Shinya tries to hack into Tsunagu's framework and...fails.

He now is very confused bc he should be able to do it, so he starts trying to gather info on Jeanist and starts following him during the nightly corruptions and it gets to the point where Tsunagu notices and is like "hey. Can you stop following me please?"

Shinya kinda is really intrigued with Tsunagu and keeps watching him until Tsunagu kinda attacks him and they have a tiny fight and end up both having to be fixed in the morning.

They get put in the same room while waiting for repairs and it's just awkward and tense eventually Tsu asks why he's so obsessed with him and Shinya's like "well... you're very interesting! you have such a unique ai, I couldn't get past it." "you tried to hack me?" "well....not on purpose!"

They agree to meet up to talk and that's honestly all I have for the time being, this is already very long lmao

But they enjoy hunting security guards and scaring interns together!!!

But yeah!!! New AU!!!!

Hellaverse Crossovers for Android Users

Just as it says on the tin, this is a page for all my non hellverse/crossover muses with a hellaverse verse!

For Android Users: Shuren, Peter White, Nathaniel Hawthorne

———————————————

Shuren in the Hellaverse

Name: Shuren

Age: ??? (He’s very old and has been in Hell for quite some time)

Orientation: ???

Original Canon: Bleach: The Hell Verse (Movie)

Species: Togabito (Sinner)

Position: Overlord

Personality/Short About:

Shuren can be described as: cold, cruel, cunning, calculating, flamboyant, arrogant, and highly conceited. He is also highly manipulative and will not hesitate to use/exploit others or those around them for his own personal gain. This is evident when he captured and used Ichigo’s sister, Yuzu as a bargaining chip to get Ichigo to do his bidding. Shuren also has a rather short temper and, if angered, can be rather explosive. 

Being one of the strongest sinners in Hell, Shuren thinks very highly of himself. In his mind he is a king, and everyone else in Hell is there to obey and serve him. He even has multiple henchmen at his beck and call who are quite loyal to him. In his lair he has a throne, a further testament to the image of himself he has ingrained in his mind. (His original canon)

When it comes to various situations, Shuren is the type to meticulously plan everything. He is not one to let his emotions get the better of him and will instead scheme and plot well in advance. If possible he will use those under him/others to carry out his plans, rarely getting involved himself unless needed. 

After spending many years in Hell, Shuren has lost the ability to feel any sort of positive emotion. Anger, hatred, pride, envy and other such emotions are the only ones he knows, for those emotions, along with his intellect and sheer power were what allowed him to survive in hell for so long. 

Bio:

After being defeated and slain by both Ichigo Kurosaki and Kokuto, it took Shuren ages to reform. Contrary to popular belief, Kokuto didn’t fully destroy his body and he was able to reform. However, it was not from a pile of lava; rather, the sinner found himself waking in a place called Pentagram City. This was not the hell he knew, though with time he came to realize he had been sent to another version of the place that he had called home.

Unlike his previous home, this one had no guards watching and waiting to punish sinners who tried to escape to the World of the Living. Furthermore, the chains that had bound him to the previous Hell had been broken, though the shackle remained around his neck and had made him a target for other sinners to come after him. These sinners were swiftly silenced by a pillar of flame, leaving only ashes to remain in their wake.

It wouldn’t be until much later that Shuren would learn about soul contracts, and that enslaving souls was far more advantageous than burning them. He would then go no to amass whatever unfortunate soul that crossed his path, and while he was without his henchmen from his former home, he had amassed enough sinner souls to slowly rise through the ranks.

Despite eventually becoming an overlord in his own right, he wasn’t recognized as one by the others, nor did he make his presence known to them. Instead Shuren had taken to working in the shadows, his presence and activity being chalked up to rumours of an unknown entity who was always lurking nearby.

When the time was right, he would exercise his powers and might to sweep in and claim the city for himself. For now, he would stick to the shadows and observe the other overlords, as well as the residents of Pentagram City.

Powers/Abilities:

Keen Intellect: Shuren is shown to have some knowledge of the Espada and their techniques, as he was able to readily identify a Gran Rey Cero. 

Enhanced Speed: Shuren is capable of moving at high speeds, even capable of catching Szayelaporro Granz, an Espada-level Arrancar, off-guard. Shuren is also able to maintain combat at high speeds, fast enough to engage in battle with Ichigo Kurosaki in his Bankai state. 

Damage Resistance: Although not impervious to flesh wounds, Shuren is seemingly unperturbed by such attacks, most notably when Ichigo dealt a direct hit on the Togabito with his Zanpakutō, after which point Shuren continued to fight against Ichigo seemingly unaffected by his injury. 

Flame Manipulation: Shuren has demonstrated the ability to generate and manipulate fire from the palms of his hands for a variety of effects, ranging from creating high-speed projectiles of fire to summoning forth a lance-like flame of which he has displayed remarkable proficiency, using it as a close-range weapon. Shuren is also capable of using his flames to deflect enemy attacks - as shown when he managed to counter a Getsuga Tenshō by using a steady stream of fire as a makeshift barrier. He can also produce doppelgängers of himself, entirely composed of flames.

——————————————————————

Peter White (Hellaverse)

Name: Peter White

Age: 23 (At time of death) Species: Rabbit Sinner Residing in: Pride Ring, Hell (Formerly the Country of Hearts in Wonderland)

Role: White Rabbit Role Holder (formerly); Prime Minister (formerly), no role at present

Personality: Cold, cruel and calculating, the former White Rabbit was one of many role holders in Wonderland to be avoided at all costs. Even the simple utterance of his name sent chills down the spine of many a Faceless. With a heart as black as his fur was white, Peter wouldn’t hesitate to shoot and kill anyone for even so much as looking his way. Life to him, and the other residents of Wonderland held little meaning, and that included his own. He was simply here to play the game and follow the rules, and carry out his role accordingly.

That was until he met Alice.

The Outsider had captured his attention when he peered into his hour of time, and he was immediately smitten with her love toward the Sunday Afternoons spent with her sister. This Sunday Afternoon, which was actually the hour of time he was became a fixation, and every chance he got he would travel to where she was and remain by her side.

When Alice’s life began to turn upside down, the pain she felt at the loss of her eldest sister began to taint the Sunday Afternoons she once cherished. Not wishing to see her in pain anymore, Peter conspired with the Dream Demon to bring her to Wonderland.

His love toward Alice and the time they spent together began to change him, and while his displays of love and affection, along with his proclamations of such made everyone confused and uncomfortable, no one could deny that Alice had changed him into a whole new rabbit. It was because of Alice that Peter learned what love was, that he realized his life had meaning simply because he existed. He learned what tears and sadness were, and for the first time, had cried.

It was because of Alice that he learned to love, and that love would lead him to a drastic end. For her, he would give up everything.

Even his life.

Biography: Tw: Suicide mention

After giving up his life so that Alice could fully become integrated into Wonderland and take on the position of Role Holder, Peter had thought he would simply fade out of existence. Much to his surprise, he had awoken in a strange, filthy place. Furthermore, the area of his chest which previously held a clock had now become a beating heart, indicating that he had become an outsider.

However, he wasn’t just any outsider; he was a sinner who had fallen into Hell, the place that would now be his home. Fortunately for him, he retained some of his abilities from his time in wonderland, such as shape shifting into his rabbit form and transforming his pocket watch into a gun. Unfortunately, he was in a new place with nowhere to call home, and a new game with rules he didn’t even know that would govern his life in Hell.

How this new game would play out remained to be seen.

Some notes:

Peter is not prone to anger, but rather acts out of cold indifference with a disregard for others. If you do manage to anger him, it won’t turn out well for you.

Peter is a notorious germophobe and detests any manner of filth. It is also his phobia that makes him careful about what he eats and who prepares it, especially since there is no telling who might try to poison him.

Peter does not get along well with others and cares little for them. This is seen in his canon with how he speaks to other role holders and how he treats them. He has especially taken a liking to trying to kill Ace, but due to the rules of The Game, no harm can come to the knight. Doesn’t mean he won’t still try to off him.

Prior to his descent into Hell, Peter was a physical manifestation of time, along with time itself. Specifically he was the hour of 3:00, which was the hour that Alice cherished the most and where her Sunday afternoons with her sister took place. Upon falling into Hell, Peter’s physiology changed to be that of Alice’s, which is a human outsider before changing once more to that of a sinner, complete with a soul.

(This is a heavy WIP and will be fleshed out the more he integrates into Hell.)

Nathaniel Hawthorne (Hellaverse, and no I don’t mean the actual author-)

An important note before I begin: Nathaniel, in BSD canon, is a religious muse and a Christian minister (formally) belonging to a conservative protestant denomination (I would like to think he’s a flavour of Calvinist). As a result there will be talks of Christianity and theology, though mostly through a deconversion/deconstructionist lens), but I will tag such posts with ‘Christianity tw’ so people can block it! Nathaniel’s canon is heavily tied to his faith and Christianity (namely because his character is derived from The Scarlet Letter, which is a book written by his namesake that is more or less a satire/criticism of puritanism among other things) and I will not be watering this down or shying away from it! I will, however, make shit/crack/meme posts about it, because it’s fun.

Name: Nathaniel Hawthorne

Series: Bungou Stray Dogs

Age: 27

Birthday: July 4th

Star Sign: Cancer

Gender: Male

Orientation: Bisexual

Height: 188cm (6'2”)

Weight: 72kg

Blood Type: A

Likes: God, the Bible, faith, innocence, Margaret

Dislikes: Satan, heresy, sin, Fyodor

Affiliation: The Guild (Former), Rats in the House of the Dead (Formerly), Sinner (currently)

About: Nathaniel is, for the most part, a calm, smart, composed and calculating individual. He is rather cold and distant, and can be quite snarky and dismissive to others. He has a self righteous air to him, due to his belief that God chose him to dole out punishment and justice to those who he perceives are sinners and heretics. He can be quite zealous with his faith and belief, and he spends nearly every waking moment reading his bible or praying. He can also be quite ruthless when it comes to his enemies, especially with his zealous faith.

Despite this, he has shown to have a more patient, caring, and gentle side, though this is reserved for his partner, Margaret Mitchell. It’s implied that he has strong feelings for her, though he is hesitant to act on it (or, rather, he’s in denial) and will cover them up by bickering and bantering with her whenever possible. 

Ability: The Scarlet Letter.

Hawthorne’s ability allows him to convert his own blood into holy words, which he can weaponize and use offensively (Ex. Bullets, restraints, whips, and so on ), as well as defensively (the words can be used to form a shield). By making an incision with the cross around his neck, he can use his blood in this manner.

His ability can be used indefinitely, as long as his blood isn’t diluted. Said ability can also be activated remotely as long as his blood is present in the area. He can also use a pool of his blood to make it seem like he is walking on air, giving him a sort of pseudo levitation. 

Basically, anywhere his blood is, he can use it to attack, defend, and travel swiftly.

Hellaverse: (All of this is post canon and pure speculation.) After being given over to the mafia to atone for the murders he committed while under Fyodor’s control, Nathaniel was sentenced to death. Upon awakening, he found himself in the very place he was warned about since childhood, and which had given him many a nightmare: Hell.

Nathaniel didn’t need to guess why he was here; he had committed many sins that God couldn’t cleanse him from, and for which he could never atone. It was only logical that he would land among the condemned, and would spend the rest of his days among others. A rather ironic twist considering it wasn’t that long ago he was condemning people for the very same sins he himself committed.

For now Nathaniel is just trying to survive in his new home, and taking whatever jobs he can get while avoiding others, and the gazes of the Overlords and other powerful beings of Hell.

Or so he thought…

[soilingquasar]

This started off as just me trying to make my take on Outertale, being inspired by sci-fi works instead of just Undertale in space. But it became so different it can hardly be considered an Outertale take anymore, so i decided it's an original AU. F-117: A human child of unknown name and gender falls into the planet codenamed as colony 1473-B, also known as "Dagash". The human is saved thanks to the help of the old lady, once their wounds have been healed and found a spaceship for themselves, the protagonist's actions will shape the galaxy around them as time goes on. But also gaining more notoriety, which means more enemy encounters. In the martyr route, the human's stats and maximum HP will lower more and more until at the end of the story, our protagonist will fall prone to illness, eventually dying on top of a bed, surrounded by the friends they made along the journey. However the exterminator route will be different, with each kill F-117 will become stronger, their stats and HP increasing the more kills are accumulated, at the end of the story, it will be revealed the human is actually an advanced bio-android made specifically for extermination, using blood of it's victims as fuel, inspired by V2 from UltraKill. Chozlo-Plague: Inspired by the Flood of Halo, the Xenomorphs and other hive-minds. They originiate from the planet of Chozlo, calling themselves the embraced. This hive-mind can adapt by outright stealing any of your strengths and use it against you. It is highly contagious and can think and strategize. They will become fascinated with our protagonist in both routes and try to control them by either infecting them, convinving to join them or manipulating the human to do what it desires. Despite being in the role of Flowey, it is not necessarily just prince who is inside of the hive but also the souls of many are under it's grasp, all of them trapped as prisoners and used to the hive, the only way for them to rest in peace, is by full extermination until every single cell is destroyed. Napster: He was once a follower of the Rompo-Machima cult, however he was punished after commiting a huge act of heresy by refusing the greatest of the Machine God's gifts. As punishment, his mind was transfered to a vessel that has been made and modified for him to feel all kinds of physical and mental agony. As well as being sent to colony 1473-B to live the rest of his life as an exile, without having any chance to redeem itself. He was eventually found by the old lady, she covered him in sheets to protect him from the elements as well as to hide his hideous apperance. Napster spends his day singing and wailing, like a broken mermaid shrieking like a siren, destined to haunt this planet with it's unholy pressence. Torral: She was once one of the emperor's many concubines, and the most well known. Her heart was soft but strong as she had an amazing sense of justice and wasn't afraid of recieving any backlash for her actions. Together, they would live a wonderful life for thousands of years, even having a son of their own, until the prince was killed by humans. This would justify with the Emperor declare war against humanity, thus the start of the Ultimate Universal War. The war would rage for hundreds of years, and Torral would lose her innocence as well as her love for the emperor as he would continue to commit terrible atrocities in the name of peace and prosperity. Torral would one day attempt to assasinate the emperor, only to be severly punished with a brutal beatdown, only managing to survive after she pushed her opponent away using her telekinesis and escaping in her particular ship. After the event, she is now considered a traitor, a heretic, a liar, a false savious and a whore. She would hide and exile herself in colony 1473-B which was also known as her home planet Dagash, what was once a beautiful world was now reduced to a planetary trashcan, being littered and polluted to the brim. However she would regain bits of her former self after encountering Napster and fully restore herself after meeting our protagonist. Unlike Toriel, she will not keep you with her, she will in fact do the opposite and help you leave the planet as soon as possible hoping that you would be reunited with the rest of your kin and to protect you and herself from the Monstrous Emperor's wrath. She is inspired by the many jedi from Star Wars and will not be afraid to fight you in both routes, her full design in battle sprite will be different from the overworld as she throws away her cloak to fight you. "Sap": Sap and his brother are bounty hunters that come from a completely different galaxy. Their species resemble skeletons but are actually insectoids, with Sap using a bandana to cover his insect mouth parts and a hat to cover his third eye. Sap became a bounty hunter at a very young age, his species being able to mature much faster than others, Sap came to this galaxy in order to get money to survive, but also for the thrill of challenging prey deep down. He can be very lazy, cynical while also finding humor in most things, taking a long while to get to his job but always fulfilling the task as asked. Don't let his small stature and personality fool you, he is incredibly strong and resistant to heavy damage due to his biology, he is also an experienced marksman, pilot, and combatant. Pray to never end up on his list. Phasmotheus: Unlike his older brother, Phamotheus is a very prideful bounty hunter. He considers himself a being of class and honor, being very dedicated to his job, cheerful to people around him as well as professional in duty. Phasmotheus sticks out from other bounty hunters by refusing to kill his targets and fight unarmed combatants, either giving them a weapon to have a chance to defend themselves or taking away his weapons to before fighting. Contrary to Sap, Phamotheus is proud to take off his helmet when he is not in duty or feels safe, showing his third eye and mouth parts to everyone around him, and instead of money he focus on his reputation, dreaming to one day become the greatest bounty hunter that has ever lived in the universe. In both routes, Phasmotheus will give you the option to fighting him with a weapon or without weapons before the battle begins, though if you already have a weapon equipped he will congradulate you and even judge depending on what kind of weapon you are using. The Undying Force: They originate from the water world of Hydrosis, The Undying Force are clones of Unyte, who was a high ranking officer of the monstrous emperor, a fierce warrior and the greatest heroine of the Ultimate Universal War who fought against humans and the Chozlo-Plague. All of the clones believe to be the true Unyte, all are either lying or are extremely delusional. The fate of the original Unyte is completely unknown to the public, they used to be many, but their numbers are decreasing, especially due to having lost the genome of the original Unyte. They obey only the emperor, and if he wants someone dead, he summons the Undying Force, they are experts in combat, stealth, assassination and espionage, no one has ever lived to tell the tale until today. "Stain": This one clone in particular is actually male unlike all of his "sisters", dressed in red and black unlike the blue and green colors of the others. Due to the original genome being lost, the emperor's scientist decided to create new clones of Unyte by using...alternative methods. From his very conception, he was considered to be a germ, a stain in the legacy of Unyte, thus the origin of the nickname. But unlike them he was more aggressive and would stand up to himself. There was one incident where he refused to obey the emperor's commands, and eventually getting in a fight, having one of his eyes ripped out as the emperor's punishment. After this event, they refuse to acknowledge this disgusting and inferior male copy to be one of them, their prejudice going so far to the point where they do not allow him to have his armor repaired and only giving him minimal healing. The Undying force being inspired by the clone troopers from Star Wars and Alpharius Legion from Warhammer 40k, while Stain is the reverse case of X-23, the female wolverine clone and Groot from Marvel (He only says "Unyte"). Alzys: Alzys is the head priestess of the Rompo-Machima cult, the in the cult, all believe that the flesh is weak, and that their souls are trapped in these meat suits as punishment for their past transgressions. And so they slowly remove all of their organic parts, slowly replacing them with mechanical parts instead, for the machine cannot be held back. However, during one of her many flash comas, Alzys discovered a dark secret which completely shattered her faith in the machine god's existence. Knowing that if she were to tell others she would be punished the same way as Napster, Alzys will use the human to distract and give her the golden opportunity to escape the cult. She is obsessed with human culture and is a day dreamer, once free from her shackles, she will be extremely grateful for the protagonist and float along side their journey. Mettalix: They were once an ordinary being like many others, until one day during their explorations they found the Machine God itself, Rompo-Machima. The entity would then reveal the truth of their predicament. The young soul would make their mission to convert all beings in the galaxy to the machine god, first converting their family such as their cousins Madchip (Mad Dummy/Mad Mew Mew) and Napster. Over the years, the cult would continue to grow until they made a ship for themselves, now flying from planet to planet to spread the words and teachings of Rompo-Machima. After all, why do we need to eat and drink if we will only expell them later during our digestion? Why do we take so long to recover? Why are we to improve an impefect body with surgeries and exercises? Why are we limited to one body, one face, one gender?! In the world of machines you can be anything, remove your inferiror and damaged limbs with ever improving prosthetics or transfer your mind to a better vessel! For the flesh is weak, the flesh is oppressing, but the mechanic can be anything and everything. Both the sphere and the one bellow are vessels. Aedore Junuli Cal-Stasis Ravieer IV: Aedore Junuli Cal-Stasis Ravieer the fourth, is the current emperor of the Monosterius Empire, the current ruler of the galaxy. He goes by many titles, Emperor of Emperors, God-Emperor, the one above everything and of course the Monstrous Emperor. Born millions of years ago, he was destined for greatness. Charismatic, strong and fierce, he assume the throne with barely any opposition, but he was even taller than the others. He would later have a child by the name of Azuriel with one of his thousand concubines, a woman by the name of Torral, their relationship would grow even more as a result. However his son was killed when human pirates invaded planet Oriuoa where the prince was residing in order to complete his studies, the pirates decided to glass the entire planet after looting to make a statement, incinerating the population in order to leave no trace of evidence or life, the death of prince Azuriel being the one thing that broke the camel's back. The monstrous emperor considered the pirate attack as an act of war, and thus the Ultimate Universal War would start with the Monosterius Galaxy waging war against the Milky Way galaxy in a conflict that would last hundreds of years having casualties on both sides. With Aedore winning the war as a result of years of scheming and converting a human child-soldier to his side, humanity would be driven to near extinction, and with the destruction of planet Earth. Although the humans had fled to other galaxies, the emperor was still stuck in the mentality of being at war with the humans, and after many crimes, the once pure emperor is now a shadow of his former self, a paranoid control freak, forcing everyone loyalty to him while commiting many crimes in the name of what he sees as "the greater good". This version of Asgore was mostly inspired from The Emperor of Mankind from Warhammer 40k. The Great Betrayer: This child soldier was part of a task force of special warriors in order to combat the monstrous emperor's forces as well as being the shining beacon of hope and justice for humanity. Many of these children were outright kidnapped due to having the best genetics in order to survive and become said soldiers. The experiments warped the bodies and minds of these children, making them extremely dangerous killing machines, out of the trillions if not quadrillions of children that were put into these experiments, only 10 of them survived. As a result, they became immortal meaning they no longer age, stronger and faster than any human athelete, able to fight for days with no food, water for a long time, enhanced senses and intelligence. They were the pinnacle of humanity, the next step into their evolution, one soldier stuck out from the rest, C-61, this soldier was by far one of the best trained soldiers, as well as a tactical genius, carrying many victories for humanity after two generations of loses for mankind. However is what many did not know was C-61's immense hatred for humanity for all the experiments they were put through as well as losing their entire family and life in order to serve for a purpose they never asked for. That all changed one day during one mission the human was face to face with the monstrous emperor, having years of experience the emperor would congradulate the human for their skills and even managing to wound him, but the human would defeated in the end. However, the emperor spared C-61 and had managed to befriend the human, eventually the human soldier's ideals would be accepted if not encouraged, for he gave the child love, love that humanity never gave to had, the love that was taken away. C-61 would then choose to fight in Aedore's side, helping him win the war and travelling around the universe in seach of the remaining humans. In the exterminator route, C-61 is the final boss facing our protagonist, F-117.

[thecoolerliauditore]

hahahahahahha oh no oh no oh no. pearl lyric posting below the cut lyrics are evil and messed up (its deco27 ofc they are) yada yada i need to write words today ok

Because I want to hold you close On my own feet I started walking To synchronize my breath with you So neither of us will be alone Hey, Mama I might have found somebody that I really like

Two Breaths Walking (KoKo lyrics) (i think Rachie co-wrote these but I'm not sure??)

Ok I'll be honest this one's kind of a stretch just cus the song's a bit too explicitly romantic for how I see Scott/Pearl (I personally don't hc Pearl as being attracted to Scott. the whole 'crazy ex-girlfriend' thing is just scott's impression of her to me) but if I edit out all the bits about kissing then it works rlly well 👍

You know, I’ve loved you all this time There doesn’t need to be a “why” I’ll always be here by your side and live with you through every life And all the bad things that we said I'd rather let them out instead And breathe in with you So we can breathe in sync til' we die

But uh Yes. Pearl is obsessed with him and deeply in love with him but she's not like.. romantically inclined towards him in my eyes? It's more like he was her only friend and went through everything with her and she would pledge her life to him yknow?? I kind of imagine that if you asked her if she wanted to kiss or marry him she'd just be kind of horrified at the thought.

++ i can't find it anymore but there's another set of translyrics for this song that has a line something like "use me as your oxygen tank and I'll be happy forever" which is. so pearl to me. she's more than happy to stay as his supply of extra lives, his attack dog, his assassin as long as he just stays with her and its. screams. she just wants to be friends forever and asks only the tolerance of her presence in return.

Let’s make a paradise for only us two Can you believe I ended up with you? “C’mon and stay, you // never come around…” This jealous give and take make memories we hate so you can sing out loud Hurting me, hurting you, over and over We said we would stop, but it was all talk, a lie to one another We hide the truth with wordplay and rhyme A secret language you won’t get just by looking into our eyes

Android Girl (Rachie translyrics)

YEAHHH BITTERSWEET BREAK UP SONG ABOUT A TOXIC RELATIONSHIP THIS IS MY SHIT

Make it stop, make it stop, there’s so much guilt And regret, I don’t get how I can forget and start to hope again And we haven’t even come to the end So much for promising “together forever”, we aren’t even friends Is it fine to indulge in you again? Will I ever feel the same as I did then? Yes or no? Tell me ‘cuz here we go Android girl You’re making me lose my mind I’m yours now and forever but do you even like me deep inside? Guess I, guess I’ve been lied to this whole_ damn_ time Android girl How long have I felt this way? Still coming after me with that knife, I guess some things will never change And so, although We’ll restart and fall apart together What we have will drag on in this way forever Android girl You’re making me lose my mind I don’t know who you are anymore, it’s as if you were never mine Yet I, yet I believed in you all_ this_ time

:C

I like.. this idea that traffic smp takes place within a time loop and with each new season they gain more and more awareness. For Pearl this means she knows she's never going to get real closure. It doesn't matter how many times she kills him or dies herself cus she's going to be stuck like this forever.

Still though, still though My ego doesn’t want to let go I hate you more than you’ll ever know

OH NO THESE LYRICS ARE PERFECT FOR PEARL ACTUALLY..

[goodnightwindy]

RADIOWAVE DESIGN UPDATE💥 also a bunch of accidental infodumping under the cut umm. ya

[ picrew ]

he now has scars all over his body and theyre from all the time he spent in the forest , all the animals and weather damage and the terrors and such rlly messed up his silicone skin

also it doesnt Always have its hair up but. it's one of them autistics so it usually does lmao

radiowave primarily dresses for COMFORT and EASE OF MOVEMENT bc he spends literally days alone in his room working on technology projects so he just like. wears the same outfit for weeks. sometimes when his usual clothes r in the wash tho he'll borrow smth from lucie [ it's almost always the same singular outfit. hes autistic leave him alone /lh ]

also for the record i decided forever ago that radiowave rarely speaks. it mostly communicates in morse code or just writing on a notepad , but it VERY RARELY will say a few words. it really does Not like speaking english so it tends to opt for other languages like japanese or russian [ which r the most common ones it uses ] but if it's reeeaally trying to get a point across itll just talk in english

mostly he doesnt speak much due to internal voicebox damage , his voicebox and the wires for it are incredibly fucked up due to all the Forest Terrors but hes mostly okay with it bc hes found his own way around :3

radiowave is a very strange type of android because its limbs are attached by ball joints. yk like a ball jointed doll. but its a complete robot , not like a doll that gained sentience. its unusual but hey it looks cool right

radiowave 🤝 s.cp 049 : wanting access to corpses of their same species to dissect and take apart to figure out the mechanics that make the body work

btw hes a very fragile android as of right now ,,,,,, literally if you push him too hard his arm could fall off. thats bc the joint connectors in his body are severely rusted and damaged from the rainwater that was leaking into all the crevices in his body for so long. its not unfixable tho and he will be fine again someday :]

Sun always looked forward to the end of the day. The kids gone, the plex closed, all the lights (except the daycare’s) going out, just pure solitude. Well....not really.

He could hear the soft feminine moaning that was coming from his balcony starting to get a bit louder, along with a squishing sound. A grin grew across his face, as he knew exactly what was going on. Someone left the door open again...

He proceeded to climb up the play structure, the growing erection already starting to make his pants tighten up. He could hear the moaning grow louder the more he got closer, almost reaching a peak when he leaped and landed perfectly on the balcony.

He walked into the room, passing the table with robot parts, some plushies thrown about, a few toys here and there. But he was more interested in what was past the small round door and on the other side of the porthole that led to his room.

A young woman was sitting on a large block, groping one of her breasts, her nude body lightly glistening with sweat, moaning as she was using a pretty yellow vibrator to pleasure herself. She was so deep in the throes of pleasure that she almost didn’t notice the android entering the room.

Sun smiled as he started to undress and said in a deeper voice, “Having fun, sunshine? Don’t worry, daddy’s home.”

About a month ago, Sun was told he was receiving a new caretaker, a woman named ‘[Y/N]’. He wanted to get to know this new friend more before he met her, so with his connection to the internet in his programming, he was able to gain access to her social media pages and investigate.

And to say he liked what he saw was a huge understatement.

Seeing her in so many cute outfits on one site was pretty fun, but then he ran across a folder that was locked and called ‘Private’. Luckily he ran some codes and was able to open it. And what he found was like finding the Holy Grail of horny young-adult selfies.

[Y/N] was in so many ‘risque’ outfits that it wasn’t even funny. There was the cute PlayBoy bunny costume for Halloween one year, a swimsuit that barely covered her secret areas, and a short crop top that showed off the undersides of her breasts and skirt that almost showed her panties? He had to start palming his cock to keep himself from losing his sanity.

And of course, he let Moon get in on the action and it almost made him go feral.

The day Sun finally met [Y/N], he made sure to keep his little expedition secret and they hit it off really well. She got along great with the kids, her and Sun were best friends, and everything was going smoothly.

After a few weeks, it was on Sanitation Day that changed everything. The daycare was closed, so no kids were present in the entire area. Sun was looking for [Y/N] and heard her voice coming from under the desks. He didn’t know what was going on, so he went to investigate. What he found was [Y/N] with her bare breasts exposed and her hand down her skirt, clearly enjoying herself. Sun silently gulped at the sight and since her eyes were closed, he decided to get a closer look.

He crawled up to her, making sure to keep his movements silent, and watched as [Y/N] groped her breast and once he was in front of her, he heard her whisper, “Ah...S..Sunny...y..yes...right there...haahh..!”

Oh my Lord, Sun couldn’t get any harder than he was right then.

Not long after that, [Y/N] shut her mouth tight to hold her moans from getting too loud as her body clenched and her panties were getting soaked, showing she was cumming. After she was done, she tried to catch her breath for a minute before opening her eyes. They shot wide open when they saw Sun very close to her, his face as red as a tomato and a huge smile on his face. Frozen in horror, [Y/N] asked, “How much of that did you see..?” “Enough to hear my name.” Her skin went cold and she asked timidly, “D..Does this mean I’m fired..?” “No, far from it. In fact, I just thought of a game we can play, just you and me.”

And ever since, Sun and Moon have kept [Y/N] in their room, where she became their little pet. Satisfying each other’s desires when no one else was around, taking her job as ‘caretaker’ to the sexual extreme. After a while, the other employees and even the higher-ups found out, but didn’t really care. As long as [Y/N] was keeping an eye on Sun and preventing any trouble from Moon, it was all good.

Sun grabbed his pants from the floor and pulled a small yellow plastic stick out of the pocket, which had a slider and dial. He slowly slid the slider up, causing the vibrator to get more intense and make [Y/N] hold in her moans. “Aww, you’re just so cute when you do that! But it's okay, there’s no need to hold them in anymore. The kids are gone for the day, it’s just us now. So let them all out for me, ok?” It didn’t take long for [Y/N] to oblige once he increased the intensity of the vibrator. He always loved hearing her moaning for him, especially when she was putting on a show.

Sun walked up to her as she tried to keep her squirming to a minimum. Sun kneeled down and said as he took the ribbon from his wrist and put it around [Y/N]’s neck, putting the bell front and center, “Your poor thing, you must’ve been craving me all day. I’m so proud of you for keeping yourself busy with this toy while you waited for me. Such a good girl deserves a reward, now, doesn’t she?” [Y/N] looked at Sun with small tears in her eyes as she could only wordlessly nod. Sun then turned his gaze to the toy inside his pet and said, “But first...let’s take care of this.”

He then reached his hand toward her and placed his hand on her belly to gently push down so her walls pressed more on the toy, which caused her to gasp and moan loud. “D..Daddy...I..It’s...So much...I..I can’t..!” “Can’t what, sunshine?” He then put the thumb from that hand onto her clit, rubbing gentle circles on it. [Y/N] cried out, “I..I can’t take it anymore..! Please..Please let me cum..!” “Of course, angel. Go ahead and cum for me.” Not long after, [Y/N] let out a long moan and the toy was soaked with juice as her orgasm made her see stars, the vibration soon causing a second orgasm to commence.

Once she was done, Sun shut the toy off and gently took it out of his pet, marveling at the amount of juice on it then giving it a long lick. “Mmm..sweet as always.” He then eyed [Y/N]’s still twitching pussy, which gave him an idea. “Sorry, darling. Before you get your fill, I gotta get mine. I’m sure you can find it in your heart to forgive me,” he said as he put the toy away and moved himself in between [Y/N]’s legs. [Y/N] looked down and panted, “I...I don’t know if I can, Daddy...” He looked up to her face from her groin and said, “Just do your best for me, ok?” And with that, he dove in and started eating her out.

[Y/N] moaned at the overstimulation and put one hand on the block for stability and put her other hand through Sun’s long golden hair, which was starting to glow in certain areas. It was a cute thing the creators added to make a little lightshow for the kids, but it always tended to flare up when he was deeply aroused. She felt him reach deep into her wet tunnel, trying to get as much juice as he could onto his tongue. His tongue always felt so hot, no matter where it was on her body. Somehow, he always knew the right spots to hit to get [Y/N] moaning and squirming. “Ahh...haah...! I...It’s too much..! S..Sunny..I--” Sun immediately stopped and bit on her clit, causing her to yelp. He brought his face up to look at her and he had a stern expression. “Rule breaker. When we’re playing, you call me Daddy. Do I have to have Moon come out and teach you that lesson again?” [Y/N] knew what that meant. Moon was usually pretty gentle when it came to their game, but when he was in Punish mode, he gets really rough to the point of drawing blood and leaving bruises and marks, making her have to hide away for a few days while they healed.

She really didn’t want that, with how sensitive she was right now. Plus she was already so close to cumming again, she didn’t want Moon making it go away with pain.

“N-No! Please! Not that! I’m sorry, Daddy! Please keep licking me, Daddy!” “Will you promise to be good from now on?” “Yes! I promise! I’ll be a good girl! Just please keep going!” With a smirk, he gave her clit a kiss then kept on eating her out. After a few minutes, [Y/N] could feel the familiar tension building inside her and soon enough, she came once again, putting both her hands on Sun’s head. She could feel him drinking the juice coming out, causing [Y/N] to feel slightly embarrassed. Once that was done, he pulled back, wiped his face, and licked his hand clean. He then looked at [Y/N] with a smile and said, “Good girl.”

Sun stood up and [Y/N] got on her knees in front of him, waiting for his next command. Sun took his cock and started to pump it, making [Y/N] stare in hunger, some drool dripping from the side of her mouth.

Funny thing about the androids. They were put through something called ‘The Realism Project’ and were given neat doo-dads that made them more closer to humans, so to make them seem less scary. But there must’ve been a pervert in control of the project, because they were given functional genitals with simulated nerves and even each android’s specific kind of cum, which was body-safe and completely edible. Monty’s was colorless yet lemon flavored, Roxy’s was lime green and lime flavored, Chica’s was sparkly white and tasted like marshmallows, and Sun’s was a pretty luminous rainbow hue that tasted like those liquid lollipops (specifically sweet blue raspberry). And as it turns out, [Y/N] got addicted to his cum real quick, craving it almost daily. Same goes for Moon’s cum, which was galaxy colored and tasted like vanilla.

They didn't skimp in the visual department either. They made sure to give the androids more realistic looking parts to match their TPE skin. Sun's cock was long and thick, probably close to 6 inches, and had a few faint veins painted on. The head was a nice reddish pink and the tip was already starting to leak rainbow pre-cum.

“I can see you’ve been waiting for this, huh? Me too. You always make Daddy proud with that mouth of yours. Let’s see how desperate you are today.” He let go and let [Y/N] take the reins, her grabbing it and continuing the pumping motion. She started to give the head and shaft soft kisses then proceeded to lick along the shaft and head. Sun let out a soft sigh as he gently tousled [Y/N]'s hair then gripped her head. She soon slid the head into her mouth, rotating her tongue around it. It wasn't long until she slid the rest in and started to suck on it, moaning in the process. She could already taste the cum on her tongue, which made her start to drool. Sun smiled as he watched his girl be completely addicted to him. He felt so happy that the boss chose her as his caretaker. "You're doing such a good job, sunshine. Try not to choke like last time."

[Y/N] was too lost in the moment to hear him. She soon started to slide her hand down to her pussy and play with herself as she sucked. Sun noticed, saying, "Aww, is my little angel wanting my cock inside her that badly? How adorable! Tell ya what. Swallow all of my cum and I'll do just that." Sun gently brought [Y/N]'s head up a tiny bit with the tips of his fingers on her chin so she was looking at him. "You think you can do that for me, baby girl? Pretty please?" [Y/N] gently nodded and proceeded to suck harder and take more of him into her mouth. Sun started to thrust his hips as he felt his climax approaching. Soon enough, he let out a groan and let his cum flood into [Y/N]'s mouth and down her throat. She happily gulped as much as she could, but some drops dripped onto her breasts and got on her face.

When she pulled out to look at her man, he was smiling, but shook his head in an 'oh you' fashion. "Silly, you made such a mess. Here." He ran his fingers around her mouth and along her breasts, picking up some drops of cum and bringing it to her mouth. "Let me help you clean up," he finished. [Y/N] let her slightly cum-coated tongue out and licked Sun's fingers clean, a few tiny moans escaping. After that, he repeated the process until her face and breasts were clean. [Y/N] then noticed some drops on the floor, so she bent down and licked them up until the floor was completely clean. Sun smiled and knelt down to her height, kissed her forehead and said, "You're a great helper." That compliment earned Sun the smile that he adored so much.

Sun gently grabbed [Y/N] and laid her on the pile of pillows they shared as a bed. He took his time with this because he loved seeing his cute little girlfriend in his bed, looking so exhausted from all the fun they’ve had, and relished in the fact that she belonged only to him and Moon. No one else.

He then put both hands on her hips and leaned over her, their faces close and his long hair spilling down and brushing along the edges of [Y/N]’s face. This moment always made [Y/N]’s heart throb and her face heat up from feelings other than sexual arousal. There was no denying that she had developed feelings for Sun as they played this game. She even confessed to him one time and he was more than happy to hear that, because he felt the same way the instant he met her.

“Whatcha thinkin’, sunshine?” [Y/N] felt embarrassed when she realized she zoned out. “I-uh, well...I was thinking about how we met. I still remember that big goofy smile you gave me when you saw me.” “Me too, I haven’t smiled that big in a long time.” “Really?” “Yeah. Sure I smiled, but they weren’t really genuine. Kids were always afraid of me and it got really lonely when it was just me... I’m happy you’re here with me, Sunshine. I love you.” [Y/N] felt a tiny tear in her eye as she smiled and said, “I love you too.” She wrapped her arms around Sun’s neck and kissed him deeply. Sun, of course, returned the kiss, but then he slowly slid himself inside her, causing her to moan in his mouth.

When the kiss broke, [Y/N] moaned and Sun started to pepper her neck with kisses as he started to thrust. His size alone filled [Y/N] to the brim, the tip being able to reach her cervix and tap it with each hit. It was a good thing she came a few times before they did this, since her juices helped him slip in and out with ease. “Ahhh..! D..Daddy..! It feels so good...keep going..!” Sun made his thrusts even deeper as he smiled and asked, “[Y/N]..You like that? Do ya?” “Y-Yes! More! Do it more..! Please make me cum..!” “Fuck...You’ll make me cum first if you keep squeezing like that! Gah, so good..!”

The both of you were in it for quite a while, changing positions a few times. When you both lied on your sides, Sun behind you, lifting your leg and thrusting into you, your groin starting to glow in many colors dimly with his cum. This was one of Sun and Moon's favorite positions to do, since they could easily whisper sweet words into [Y/N]'s ear. "Ah yes..you're so pretty like this..mmm..wish we could play forever.." [Y/N] felt her pussy walls clamp up when Sun licked her neck. Sun couldn't help but groan, "Ngh..yes...just like that...keep doing that and I'll fill you up so good..." After a short bit, Sun asked, "[Y/N]...are you..hgn..happy here with me..?" [Y/N] put her free hand up to rest on Sun's head, moaning, "Yes...ohh I'm so happy.." "Good...I'm happy too...god you feel so good...I love you..I love you so much...please stay with me always.." "I..I will! I promise..! I love you too..!" It was then that Sun quickened his pace and said, "I..I'm gonna cum...please...please let Daddy fill you..." "Y-Yes! I'm gonna cum too! Please fill me up with your cum, Daddy! I need it so badly..!" A few more thrusts were enough to bring their undoing and Sun's warm cum flooded into [Y/N]'s walls and womb. She could feel how hot it felt pooling inside her. Their union leaked a mixture of clear milky cum and glowing rainbow cum.

The couple rode their highs for a while until Sun turned [Y/N] around and kissed her deeply, holding her close to him, his cock being kept warm in her pussy. [Y/N] soon broke it to whispered, "I love you." "Say that again," Sun responded softly, their foreheads touching. [Y/N] obliged, saying, "I love you." Not long after that, the lights finally went out for the night and as they laid there, [Y/N] saw softly glowing red eyes meeting hers along with long messy white hair. Moon said in an exhausted voice, "Just in time." [Y/N] smiled and snuggled to her second lover, closing her eyes. "Good night, Moon. I love you." Moon petted [Y/N]'s hair as he whispered, "I love you too." And the two lovers fell asleep still in coitus, their night of passion finally over......for now.

Surprise! I made a tumblr just for my silly little mechanic stories that y'all in the server seem to enjoy so much :D and, to kick it off c:<

The Prologue

You had always gotten along better with machines than people. Machines you could understand, take them apart, fix what was broken, and put it back together good as new. People were messier. They had rules you were expected to know without explanation, to follow except when you shouldn't; it was a blindfolded dance you didn't know the steps to that always ended with you stepping on someone's toes. So you mostly stuck with machines. Your little repair shop did pretty well, especially when androids started to become a household staple. Google and Bing could charge an arm and a leg for their premium parts and certified technicians, but you could make a repair last longer with rubber hose and quick set epoxy, and you only occasionally charged an arm when yours needed modifying. You very quickly developed a waiting list, and usually had 4 or 5 robots in your workshop at any given time.

That really bit you in the ass when the apocalypse happened. It was one of your regulars, a red GoogleIRL series named Hal you had always gotten along with, who told you what was going on. He had hesitated a moment before suggesting your skill as a mechanic might be useful enough to grant you a place in the new order that was happening. At that, he and the other androids that were in working order turned and left. You never saw him again.

Well, you had always gotten along better with machines than people.

That's how you found yourself 6 months later as one of the only humans in the House, a Bing series android in a heap in your corner of the repair bay. There was a hole straight through his chest where his bioregulator would be, and his eyes were open and dark. Before, you would have bought him as a "donor", to strip for parts; the bioregulator, with all its tiny moving parts, was one part you were never confident enough to fix. Of course, rebuilding one from scratch was now your only way to gain full acceptance into the House. Lucky you.

Technically Alpha hadn't given you a deadline for the project, but you knew his good graces were quick to expire if you didn't prove yourself useful. So, you started researching. It took you two days to confirm that getting a new official bioregulator was impossible; there were none in the House, and the primary android manufacturing facilities for both Bing and Google models had been systematically destroyed by by the resistance early in the conflict. It took you almost 2 weeks after that of trial and error to finally cobble together your own. As you held the fist sized contraption in your hands, you realized that it looked almost anatomical. The flexible rubber chambers, the valves, hell even the pump mechanism you could tell was going to give him a realistic sounding heartbeat. You would have laughed if you weren't so exhausted from working. Earlier in the week you had already repaired his frame, the synthetic skin on his back closed but "scarred" where the wound had been. All that was left between you and being accepted into the House was for this to work, so you pleaded with some unseen entity as you placed the heart back into his frame and connected it, breathing a sigh of relief as it whirred to life. Of course, so much love and care had been put into it, that it was inevitable some remained within the mechanism.

And there we are! The first part of what will likely just be a collection of drabbles about these two :D its kinda short for something that took me so long, sorry, but this is only the beginning!! There will be more whenever the braincell decides to cooperate
