Ily Marcus <3333 my pathetic soggy little wife (also don’t get too attached the the comic thumbnails I can’t promise I’ll finish it)

[ambrose-mp4]

Here’s some RARE pairs for you… you know I think to myself “are my rare pairs rare enough?”

Lasko and Asset- I really liked the nervous man and adroit trope (now without the borderline assault and brainwashing!)

Sam and Anton- these two just would be nice together I would think

Asher and James- I don’t really have a reason for this just kinda, yeah I feel like they’d work somehow…

Caller (Azmidi) and Guy- prank calls on each other but Guys’ are like “is your refrigerator running?” And Caller’s is like “hey so you’re going to die in an hour”

Milo and Dear- hi best dressed couple in any room any where any time

Sweetheart and Porter- hi best dressed couple in any room any where any time

[poedays]

you said parallels between james and anton👀👀

Indeed I did!

Ahem,

Anton and his lover have to see each other through a screen but continue to yearn for each other despite this fact. We can assume Anton and his lover are long distance because of project meridian. Maybe it paid well, maybe the department needed to make this project more secure - but Anton had to leave his life behind for it. He had to give up his love for this project.

James and his spouse aren’t long distance, however there’s a disconnect between them. James comes home and can’t talk about what’s been draining him. Everyday a piece of him is chipped away because of the stress of project meridian, and his spouse, the person he’s engaged to, can’t know. Small details, sure, but nothing with enough importance that they’ll know why he comes home as a shadow of the man they once knew.

Anton and his lover are separated by a screen, but love each other despite the distance. Whilst James and his spouse can be close physically, but seem to be drifting further apart in their relationship.

Secondly, Anton has a mechanical technician job for the department while James has a higher power in his ownership position. Anton is in it, he does the check ups, he does the scans, he does a lot of the physical work on Asset. But James is more removed from their overall well-being. Sure, he refers to believing they are “someone, not something”, and in earlier videos cares about their creation of identity beyond Marcus. But that’s because their relation to Marcus is obstructing their primary goal. And their success, overall, is James’ success. Their goal, is James’ goal. James cares because if Asset doesn’t preform well, that reflects badly on him. Anton cares because he cares about the person Asset is, rather than their ability to achieve. He cares about the process of helping them, whilst James cares about the end result.

Point número tres: saviours. James saves Asset multiple times. James says the lockdown code, he takes away Marcus’ infection from Asset’s system. Even this new James is saving them from something we don’t know about yet. Now Anton, he isn’t saving anyone. He fixes things, that’s how he helps. His aid isn’t put onto this pedestal of superiority - it’s his job to help. While James’ job isn’t to help, it’s to maintain success. This ties into the last point, but Anton is kind and gentle because that is who he is, James is a saviour because he needs to be. They both need this project to work, but it’s the intention that matters.

When we see James, it’s the man who freed Asset from Marcus, when we see Anton, we think the gentle mechanic. They both help Asset, they both put their lives at risk for this project. But James is coming at this at a place of desperation - he needs this to work. To Anton, it may not be what he wants to do, but he has to take care of Asset. Project Meridian is Anton’s job, Project Meridian is James’ life.

I guess this is more juxtapositions than parallels but eh

[bubblergoespop]

well i mean with how disgusted james was by marcus’ actions, and seeing as james and the asset’s relationship has a very similar power imbalance to that between marcus and the asset’s, i don’t think that would even cross his mind 🙁

and if i said james cheating on his spouse with the asset …. would y’all be mad at me

Redacted Headcanons: Smoking Edition :3

honey is really giggly and affectionate when they’re high (as stated previously)

guy is less “millennial humor” and wayyyyyyy more affectionate. think the personality of fool!guy but with his continued affection

david smiles a lot and can’t keep his eyes open for too long before squinting them; he does giggle

angel falls asleep almost instantly

milo doesn’t participate unless sweetheart is present

morgan can feel the rhythm of time and falls into visions more often

geordi gets a kick out of hearing cutie’s thoughts

cutie won’t stop laughing at the funny things they think

sweetheart has trained themselves to look sober

darlin needs a significant amount more for it to hit

baaabe knows exactly what to do to make it a good experience and their tics (they have mild tourette’s) become more frequent; does cause small problems on rare occasion

asher’s millennial cringe gets worse; more dad jokes, stupid voices, and bad puns

sam (before turning) would go nonverbal and zone out

vincent (before turning) was always with friends

lovely did it to fall sleep on occasion before their turning

aaron and smartass have a blast giggling and unwinding after work together

elliott comes up with some craaaazy dreams for sunshine

anton doesn’t smoke, but when he does, it’s only been to cope with the project and the isolation from his partner

james does it as a way to unwind—mostly ends up with him in tears thinking of his spouse

damn crew has a night out of the month where they all get together for it

freelancer loves watching damien burn a hole in the floor over mario kart

lasko’s loose lips become even looser and he stutters less

Adding James and Anton to this list! Project Meridian likers, come join!

Going through the ValenSwap submissions and y'all the variety is blowing my mind.

Currently would *love* a few more unempowered story creators (ie: Aaron/Smartass, Ollie/Baby, Guy/Honey) if anyone has been on the fence and enjoys creating content for those, now's a great time to join!

something has been off with james and i need to talk about it

- being weirdly uncaring about the deltas

- being REALLY weirdly uncaring about assets code, especially since he just learned the lesson about how much damage fucking up their code can do (marcus.)

- oddly…dare i say…sentimental and romantic with asset?? sir?? don’t you have a wife(/gn)??

- AN ASSHOLE TO ANTON WTF MAN

DAMN IT MARCUS IF YOU DIDNT DIDDLE THE ROBOT I COULD HAVE MY MAN HOME BY NOW

[empydoc]

little things (headcanons) i think some of the boys do with a twist! they get angstier as you go!

this one's kinda long, but sfw ~

david, when surrounded by lots of people, will beeline for angel. crowds/meetings/etc, it doesn't matter. he's going to them.

honey likes to wash guy's hair in the shower, even after he makes several dirty shower jokes, because he goes quiet and enjoys it a lot more than they know he'd admit when they touch his hair.

elliott, when sitting beside sunshine, will squeeze their hand every so often. he always gets a squeeze back. the two always giggle to themselves when this happens.

asher has a lot of scars on his hands, whether that's from reckless behaviour or whatever else. babe used to avoid touching them, not knowing if he'd like it or not, but once they unintentionally ran their finger over the uneven skin and found it pretty theraputic to do. he's noticed they've started doing this a lot now, and likes it a whole lot.

as much as his spouse continues to tell him he doesn't have to, james loves to get them flowers. doesn't matter the day, the current season, or the holiday- if he's home late or feels like it, he's getting flowers.

sam subtly checks that darlin has enough food to the last the week, every week, just in case. they've been doing better at making sure they have enough for themselves, and he trusts them well, but it's become habit at this point.

in public places, avior holds onto starlight's arm or hand, making sure he's touching them or able to see them. he doesn't want to lose them again.

blake doesn't enjoy looking at himself in the mirror unless bestie is also seen in the reflection.

every so often gavin finds himself tracing over freelancer's features again and again, not wanting to forget them. they let him do this as much as he wants, always noticing a forlorn expression on him when he does.

vega's expression would always soften when he looked at warden. they noticed it the closer it got to his end. sometimes, it almost looked like he wanted to cradle their face, but they don't know that for sure. they couldn't ask him now even if they wanted to.

Incase context needs to be added

Dalmatians are the stereotypical firefighter dog

Beagles are dogs that hunt truffles which requires digging underground

Bats are up in the air (air Elemental and vampire 👀)

James is a telepath and people think that dogs can easily read humans emotions

I'm assuming the sharp needles thing is self-explanatory

Huxley is probably as big as a bear

I need James to call his fucking spouse
