some andy crenshaw lore paste dump

(andy is visually impaired, 19 and has a guidefish named snickers!)

andy’s vision got. progressively worse as he got older. he was always pretty blind but when he was younger he could see fine with glasses and a heavy prescription. always a little off balance but he managed. when he was 8 he started losing his peripheral vision, just slowly getting blurrier (even with glasses) and dimmer. around 14 his eyesight was to the point where glasses weren’t quite enough, he couldnt see 6 feet in front of him, and started learning to use a cane around school and going out with his mom or friends.

buttttt… for his 14th birthday his parents surprised him with the news that he was gonna be getting a guidefish (which andy had been talking a lot about) and he was SO excited. got to meet young snickers (who had already been training for a year already) and play with him, and over the next little while he’d go to the training place once a week to train with him! (since andy had never had a guide animal before)

when andy was 15 snickers was fully trained and ready to go home with him :) and he was SO happy. felt so independent and loved snickers to death. it was a bit of an adjustment at school, had a bit of issue at the start with people distracting snicks and asking to pet him, but no one bothered him too much. andy was a really nice dude and got along with everyone. respected him and snickers

at 15 his peripheral was pretty much gone, but with his glasses he could see decently as long as it was far enough away. close up was really blurry, he couldn’t read, relied fully on braille like he had been since he was younger.

started playing turf at 16. liked long range weapons. started with a hydra, since he could see much clearly from far away and playing as a backliner meant he didn’t really have to be in the heat of the game. eventually switched to chargers because someone pointed out how good his aim was. settled on elitre. got really good with it. like really good.

there was just one issue. not a lot of people wanted to play with him regularly. they’d play a few games after randomly matching with him, but then after realizing he’s visually impaired, they saw him as nothing but a disadvantage, despite praising him previously for his aim. they saw him as a weakness. didn’t want him on their team. it annoyed him a lot. he wasn’t even allowed to play competitively, the judges felt it was unfair for both him and other players for andy to compete with how severe his vision loss was. he thought it was bullshit, but learned to roll with it. make the best out of it. played a lot of soloq, was still his regular, friendly, happy self.

then he met these 2 octolings after a game. pretty thick octarian accent, introducing themselves as Cider and Azure. the latter being… where was that voice coming from?

“i’m down here jackass”

andy looked down a little more, trying to pinpoint his eyes on something without them shaking, settling on a blue blob. laughed it off, going “sorry, i’m blind, i’m andy”

andy doesn’t see it, but azure’s face drops immediately while cider starts laughing.

the voice coming from the blue blob (he’s pretty sure that one’s Azure) goes “oh my god this is a terrible first impression. im gonna restart. im azure. and short. and uh. not blind? you look really cool my buddy here wanted to say hi”

azure gets smacked in the back of the head by cider, who whispers “you wanted me to say hi”

“DUDE”

andy just laughs at them slightly, liking their vibes. azure grabs his hand and puts it on his head and goes “im down here! anyways. you play anarchy?”

“he just said he’s blind”

“HES HOLDING AN ELITRE”

andy chuckles a little more and goes “i play turf. i can kinda see, it’s just like… a scope. i can’t see up close at all, yknow”

“you should play anarchy with us!!!”

“uhhh…”

cider shuts azure up. “im sorry about him. what he’s trying to say is that he thinks you look fun and if you’re ever interested in playing anarchy with some people we’d be down. or even to like- go get lunch”

“oh! well, yknow sure why not”

azure jumps up and goes “like right now?”

“sure?”

“YEAHAHHAHA LETS GO you’re gonna be a fun guy i can tell”

andy laughs again, going goes “just uh, i have a guidefish, lemme go get him. i’m not actually sure how to get to the anarchy floor”

azure whispers “HES GOT A FUCKIN FISH this guy is so cool we made the right choice”

the three become really close from then on out. azure and cider have been best friends their whole lives, but it feels like they’ve known andy for years. they don’t treat him weirdly for being blind, respect his and snickers’ space when they’re walking, always offering help if it seems like he’s struggling, but never pushing.

cider and azure always defended andy when some rando would give him shit or tease him in any way. saying his eyes looked weird, or how his glasses made him look dumb, or calling him stupid for having to use the tip of his charger as a cane outside of games, and feeling around walls to pinpoint where he was during them.

neither of them minded that andy couldn’t play competitively. cider and azure did duo competitions and andy (and snickers) always came to cheer them on and celebrate with them after. played together casually as much as they could. hung out almost every weekend.

Intuition 

Dash Haber x Gender Neutral reader

[Author’s Note: I really need to start doing y’all’s requests, I don’t know why but I just need to write this. This is roughly based on a new Carmen Sandiego oc I have that I have shipped with Dash Haber, I’ll post a drawing and bio for them soon!

P.S. Ivy x Gn reader headcanons coming soon!]

     This was going to be a night to remember! An event that doubled as both an auction and a ball! Countess Cleo could enjoy an elegant evening with her associates and lover as well as obtain more money for VILE! It was a plus that Carmen Sandiego was nowhere to be found! Although those two things were just the icing on the cake. What was going to be so great about tonight? You were there! 

Mx. Y/n had the most stylish of outfits, could name any piece of art or music sheet just by seeing the first line, they could detect a fake piece of art just by hearing someone talk about it! But what made you so different from the other rich snobs? When you weren’t attending fancy parties and participating in the criminal underworld you were lounging at home in your pajamas shoving pizza into your face while you played Animal Crossing and Splatoon 2. He had never met such an interesting creature, one full of surprises that couldn’t be defined by a single label.

With Countess Cleo and Dr. Bellum left to their own devices he talk to you. Usually the Countess kept him way too busy and all he could do was look and listen to what people had to say about you. He finally had his chance to talk to you in person! He had rehearsed this weeks before the party, planned everything in ahead so he would have free time to get to do this. There you were, idle at one of the outside balconies taking swigs of your soda in a crystal glass as you stargazed. Alcohol wasn’t your forte so juice, ciders, and sodas were supplied at these parties especially for you. Despite being judged behind your back VILE needed you and your income so you were treated like royalty whenever you were invited to an event.

He took several small steps forward then completely froze up. All the careful planning and rehearsing for this very moment had evaded him as his mind went blank. Dammit! What kind of cruel joke was this!?

“Mr. Haber? Care to join me?” You didn’t even need to turn around to know he was there! What an enchanting being you were! 

Now he had no choice but spend time with you. Not that he minded of course. He was honestly surprised you knew his name since you two barely interacted. Maybe Cleo told you? Ah!! He needed to stop spacing out! 

He took the space next to you, leaning on the balcony. “Please, you can call me Dash. But- If I may ask, how did you know it was me?” A smile graced your painted lips as eyes reflected the stars. “Intuition.” Were you trying to reel him in? There was no need for that! Dash was entranced the first moment he saw you! “Oh is that so?” He tried to sound confident and suave but he sounded so meek! Ugh he wanted to kick himself in the stomach for being such a loser! “Perhaps fate is on our side as well. I was told the stars would align in my favor tonight.” Were you…flirting with him!? He sheepishly chuckled and adjusted his collar. “I can’t help but agree, it’s hard to meet people here who like…video games?” 

You audibly gasped and moved your head to face him. “Really? Which games have you been getting into?” He never understood video games or even tried to before he met you. It was embarrassing trying to learn about video games all on his own since he was too prideful to ask someone. Now what was that game called? The one with the good soundtrack? “Forgive me I am absent minded tonight but it’s the one with the robot enemies and the little blue guy.” You nodded. “Oh you mean Mega Man? Which one? There’s multiple in the series, you know.” He froze up trying to remember what the full title was. Ugh he looked like such a fool!

You chuckled and put your hand under his chin, forcing him to look you in the eyes. “You don’t have to try to impress me. I think you are very charming, Dash.” Despite being a stuttering tomato he grabbed your hand trying to regain his confidence. “Would you give me the privilege of this dance?” You placed your glass down on the balcony railing. “I would love to.”

some more andy crenshaw lore

so he’s obviously a very skilled elitre player. but he’s still blind. he can make his adjustments to his weapons but he’s still blind. he still doesn’t have peripheral vision. he still can’t see in the dark or up close. he shrugs it off, he knows his limits and what he can and can’t do

so not every player he goes against knows he’s blind. his splashtag says very clearly that he’s visually impaired, but people see his glasses and assume he just can’t see without them. which gets annoying sometimes, but who cares. he’ll probably snipe them anyways

because he has no peripheral, he gets… a little disoriented sometimes. off balance. that’s part of snickers’ job, keeps him upright and from getting the spins. but in games, obviously snickers isn’t with him. he has his perches in every map, he knows how to get to each spot from another spot. but he still gets caught off guard sometimes. it’s anarchy! everything is always changing.

there was one game he was playing with azure bleach and cider, zones on brinewater springs, one of his favourite maps. he quite likes his perches.

andy has the map layouts memorized. he could walk them with his eyes fully closed and not even able to see lights. any time there’s minor changes to the maps, he spends time on recon getting used to it. usually.

he hasn’t heard about the change to brinewater. it was a very small one, that every player could clearly see, but andy was not aware of it.

halfway through the game he needed to quickly get out of his spot and to another. he went through his motions, and quickly became VERY confused when the block he used to guide himself along was missing. he faltered. mumbled a “what the fuck” into his com mic.

“you good?”

“where’s the- did the map change..?”

andy was trying to feel around for something to guide himself on, sweeping the end of his charger along the ground, turning around searching for something.

“i’m not sure, where are- fuck INKSTRIKE MOVE MOVE”

bleach always gave special call-outs. andy knew how to react to them. but now there were inkstrike a heading for him and he had no fucking clue where in the map he was.

right before the inkstrike landed, andy felt ciders hands around his waist, quickly pulling him back and away, both of them ending up against the wall as the final 3 points counted down, their team winning the game.

their respawners came to bring them back to the lobby, andy still not knowing where he was, and the relocating only made it worse. he was starting to panic. as soon as they all popped out of their respawners in the lobby, bleach and cider immediately noticed that andy was freaking out.

bleach grabbed both his hands, going “easy dude, easy, we’re right here, it’s bleach in front of you, ciders on your left”

“you’re good ands. azures going to get snicks. breathe mate”

andy was darting his eyes around, frustrated that he couldn’t fucking tell what anything around him was

“you’re in the lobby, you’re right where you always are after a game. do you need to sit?”

andy didn’t respond, still breathing fast”

“aaaaandy crenshaw. deep breaths. we’re gonna go sit down okay? i’ve got your arms, just walk towards me”

they sit. azure comes back with snickers, who paws at andy’s legs and rests his head on his lap. andy runs his hands over snickers’ head, calming down, as bleach spoke up

“you okay?”

“got the spins. i think they changed something in the map”

“eugh”

cider mumbles how they’re gonna look up if there was an announcement about map modifications. andy feels around snickers’ body, going “where’s his harness?”

bleach and cider look at azure, who goes “someone’s bringing it down, i kinda rushed to get him here, sorry”

“okay. that’s okay. snickers hop up”

snickers does that, jumps up to sit next to his handler, licking his hands.

andy doesn’t play the rest of the rotation. none of them do. instead, they recon the map (after cider finds out they did in fact modify the map and didn’t properly announce it) and let andy get used to the change, with snickers with him at first, who later sits with bleach as andy gets used to moving around the space alone
