HARLEY SAWYER X TOY READER

OK OK I KNOW IT SOUNDS BAD BUT READ IT, YOUR NOT A KID OR ANYTHING IN THIS PLSASE GUYS-also uggiivvoh it felt so awkward writing some of this WHYYYY and I’m so used to over explaining everything because of how character ai bots work I’m trying not too gjfjggjj

Machine Harley:

📺 - When He had been turned into this. . Machine, he couldn’t see you at all anymore. The one person he cared about-the one tolerable person-the one person he LOVED. Could he at the very least get to see you?

📺 - But, after the hour of joy, when he had managed to hack into the cameras and reunite with each other, it was like he had gained a part of himself again. He has very little sympathy and care in him, and all of it goes to you and you only.

📺 - He can’t help but feel some sort of resentment of you though, your like all the other experiments he made, those aggressive and bloodthirsty animals. But, your not like them, so why does he feel this way? Perhaps it’s just how he is.

📺 - He’d try his best to give you both a better life down here. There’s not much, but, it’s certainly better than how any of those pests are living.

📺 - He usually keeps you close, or, just watches you on the cameras. You and him need to be careful-your more fragile as a toy. Like, actually, what if your made of porcelain? Or stuffing-fabric is easy to tear, isn’t it?

📺 - If you break, he could easily fix you up, but he will be a bit mad about it. He told you to be careful, didn’t he? But, he can’t entirely blame you for it.

📺 - He’d randomly pick you up in a princess carry if he needs too. . Or if he just feels like it. And he can very easily, being a robot now. Your feet hurt? He’s carrying you. Your tired? He’s carrying you. Your perfectly fine? He’s carrying you. It makes him feel powerful.

Human Harley:

🩺 - He had no choice. He couldn’t let you die, it was his only option.

🩺 - He keeps you close to him most of the time. He misses you, even if your right there. It doesn’t quite feel like you. He wishes he could hold your hand one more time without it feeling plastic, or plush. . Or metal-you get it.

🩺 - He’d let you wear his lab coat, it’s a little big on you, but It’s comfortable. Plus, it makes you look smaller, and adorable.

🩺 - No way in hell would you ever be used like huggy wuggy or mommy long legs. If anyone tried to turn you into some sort of marketable plushie or even get the idea, he would be fuming. That is his wife! But they were only children.

🩺 - Your probably the one toy in that whole factory that’s around to roam freely, not confined to a cell or a game station. He’d keep you far away from any of the bigger bodies or the prison, though, even if you know what truly goes on behind the scenes now.

Chat this is so ass 💔

I adore how soulsborne games explore the theme of humanity in their story with the premise of "are all of us who possess souls humans even if we don't look like one?" How far can a person be modified until they are still considered human? If the soul is the essence of life, what differentiates the humanity we have within us? How much can you change until your humanity vanishes? — but I particularly enjoy the way Bloodborne does it.

It's cruel to the point it inflicts you with existential dread when you stop to think properly about what you've been doing the whole time. It forces you to wonder what makes you better than the beasts you so mercilessly slay throughout the game — they came from the same place as you, and still carry a soul regardless of their appearance, so what gives you the right to end their lives? You're no better than them — you're all equal in essence, you simply have your mind intact and they don't. Being a hunter is sinful and dirty and their vileness is known by everyone, which explains why they are so antagonized by everyone.

Djura is the first one to point out the Hunter's hypocrisy — he's the opposite of you: a retired hunter who decided to protect the beasts instead. "The things you hunt, they're not beasts. They're people. One day you'll see." Is what he tells the hunter. Brador, the church assassin, recognizes you as a hunter instantly and says "Are you going to kill me? After all you've done, kill me, as if to right your wrongs?" and the Afflicted Beggar — who also has my favorite quote of the entire game that provoked a sharp shiver down my spine and made me question my morality after his speech: "Have you got a screw loose? Or is it your... animal intuition? It doesn't even matter... You hunters have got more blood on your hands! Hunters are killers, nothing less! You call ME a beast? A beast? What would you know... I didn't ask for this! Rancid beasts, every last one of us..."

You, the hunter, are a walking killing machine murdering everyone and everything that exists, not minding the humanity that still exists or not. The "they're people, not beasts" mindset turns even more devastating once you look back at your enemies and remember the glimpses of humanity they displayed: Amelia, even after losing herself to beasthood still clutches tightly onto her pendant because she still recalls it's something precious to her, even if her memories are gone. Ludwig, who even as a beast still performs his duty to protect the entrance to the research hall — and even recovers his consciousness during the fight to wield his sword with the posture of a knight and fight like he used to before the transformation. He appears to be the only one who understands what's become of him and is able to maintain his sane mind for long enough to hold a rational conversation with the hunter.

All of them still have a soul, but you slaughtered them all regardless — but that is what is expected of a hunter, to hunt and carry the unforgivable sin of their cruelty forever. Hunters are rotten to their core, but what else could they do if not kill?

If this isn't a bother, can i ask what element you think the turtles belong to?

I already have some idea what Donnie and Leo Elements' powers could be, and maybe Mikey, but Raph is giving me a hard time

Here's the list I think some of the turtles fits

Leo water/ healing

Donnie death/ revival

Mikey electric/ and maybe air? Still unsure about it because water and air are technically the same( and I wanted Leo to have some mist/fog abilities)

Raph, no idea, maybe fire, but that seems too easy

I really want your opinions and ideas about this

But you don't have to! You can ignore this ask if you want! ( sorry if this ask is too long)

Have a nice day/night!

Not a bother! Love this topic!

Leo is definitely water and Raph is definitely fire.

Just because something is easy/cliche, doesn’t mean it’s not accurate. And I love me some accuracy <3

Speaking of which-

When I look up elements, these seem to be the common options.

I went looking because I’m not sure how death is an element?

I’m not very knowledgeable so I’m not going to pretend that I know it’s not, but I’ve never heard of it being a natural element before 🤔

I’ve always loved making Donnie nature because of how entirely opposite it would before him (a man of machines) and yet, it completely defines his expertise (creation).

And Mikey would be thunder/electricity because we’ve already been shown that how would have natural capabilities/instincts when it comes to controlling that kind of power.

And to address your ideas:

Since Leo is water, I definitely think that controlling all water (including creating mist/fog) would be on the table. For a special ability, I think the whole healing/revival thing could be the same power. Healing is more natural and then revival is more draining, inherently dangerous to the person trying to revive someone.

I like the idea of Leo having that gift.

The whole point of fire is eradication. Everything that it touches tends to die or get harmed, but that isn’t all there is too it. It symbolizes life too, because everyone lives off some level of energy- their inner heat, their spirit- that keeps them going.

Raph’s able to sense that heat. He can tell when something is alive- is sentient- in any manner. This can make his power more affective, like tracking a hidden person down. But, this gift also tames him.

He can feel when a person’s flame goes out.

You wanted Donnie to have some connection with death, right? He won’t have the powers of revival, but maybe he has some- some ability to move life. His power is harnessing earth (using it, speaking to it), but his special ability is to use whatever life the earth offers.

He can literally take the life from one object and give it to something else. His power isn’t the same as Raph’s. If a person goes brain dead, Raph feels like their inner fire is out, but Donnie can still feel the life in the beating heart. Donnie’s powers can’t tell the difference between life in a flower or life in a human. It’s all just pulsing energy.

His power is more similar to Leo’s, but while Leo uses his own energy to heal, Donnie merely swaps the energy of other beings.

Something has to die (at least a little) to keep something else alive, whether that be animal to plant, plant to human, or whatever other combination. (There are downsides. Things only have so much energy. You can’t cure a oak tree with the life of one flower, after all. And when the energy is all the same to you- what’s the difference between the life of a rose and the life of your friend? How do you rationalize the murder of one for the other?)

Mikey is probably the easiest of them all to pinpoint. He controls electricity. And his special ability is teleportation. While Donnie can take or give the energy in living objects, Mikey can move anything that has electricity in it at all. Robots, battery-powered toy, phones, power lines- the more electricity, the easier it is to move. The less electricity, the more difficult (and dangerous) it can be. Every time he transports an animal/person, it puts them at risk.

Anyway, that’s just my perspective! Take or leave whatever you want!

I’m just happy to give my two cents!

Thanks for the Ask! It was fun!!

For the people saying that Jayce had no motivation to shot Viktor…

Did you not see the fucked up shit that Jayce is seeing?

My man went into the hexcore and saw horrors beyond his comprehension. He called hextech, HIS DREAM, a curse

When he looks at the people on the commune he sees hollow vessels with people faces and the marks of Viktor’s fingers

Jayce caved Viktor’s chest in because he KNEW that the pretty colors and the art deco architecture was a facade. That whatever Viktor is doing is stripping people from their true selves and leaving behind puppets that play a game called community where no one reacts like a normal person because no matter how good you life in your community is

NO ONE WOULD JUST STAND AND LOOK WHILE THE MAD HAMMER MAN NEARLY DISINTEGRATES WHAT LOOKS LIKE A CHILD TO ASHE

These are Zaunites. They would have curb stomped Jayce to the ground

But they didn’t

They stood there

Because their Machine Herald told them to “Suffer no more”

And what is fear, what is love, if not a form of suffering

living weapon whumpee who's never known anything but pain and violence.

their existence hurts. they were made to be effective, not happy, and their masters decided that keeping them in constant pain provided better results. they're wilder, more unpredictable, and the pain keeps them from thinking straight enough to question anything.

they're only given painkillers, only allowed a respite from their seemingly endless suffering, after a successful mission. it keeps them loyal, and most importantly, teaches their brain to associate acts of violence with relief and rewards.

everyone they've ever met has treated them as a tool, a monster, or both. they don't know how to be anything else.

that is until they're rampaging through a village, destroying, killing, whatever their masters demand of them. whatever will give them a few blissful hours of numbness.

one of the villagers steps out of a ruined building and looks them straight in the eyes. whumpee expects fear, hatred, disgust, the things they see in the faces of every person who's ever crossed their path. but they see something completely different.

compassion.

whumpee is so stunned, they don't think to move or do anything at all as the villager steps closer, gently reaching out a hand to cup whumpee's face.

"oh, poor thing." they murmur, taking in the creature in front of them - part human, part animal, part machine. "they've done a number on you, huh?"

whumpee blinks at them. pain continues to course through their body, but the gentle hand on their cheek distracts them, even if just a little. all the indistinct noise in their foggy, addled mind finally goes quiet.

caretaker had stepped out in front of the being destroying their home with the intention to get through to it or die trying, and the expectation to absolutely die trying.

they did not at all expect the seemingly feral mishmash of metal, fur, and flesh to lean so heavily into their touch that they nearly collapsed into caretaker's arms.

Would kill to read animal POV fiction that has the animal POV’s interaction with humans be like, semi realistic to the level of caution most predators take with large prey and/or competitors (including humans).

Like instead of the usual - “the human is such a weak, pathetic creature... so slow, no claws, blunt teeth… completely helpless without its 'Fire Sticks'. how is it the master of the earth?” type crap it’s like, the bear protagonist or whatever approaches some dude who spreads their arms and yells and the bear is like “FUUUUUUUUCK THAT THING JUST GOT HUGE. IT'S LARGE AND MAKING NOISES. HOLY FUCK.”

jaykyle au where they're theatre kids in the same school but they're not the actors jason's the scriptwriter/director and kyle is the prop manager (i don't know the official terms sorry) and they'd probably do an amazing job on the backstage setting if they could stop arguing for 5 whole seconds about their artistic visions and ideas and how "this would obviously work better this way"

regardless of my or your opinion on AI art, saying that artists also make their art by simply viewing a lot of art and then regurgitating a mixture of statistically probable pixels implies that humans learn like machines do, and this isn't even remotely accurate. ignoring the phenomenological and social components of human learning really only stands to dovetail into viewing humans as material goods on the same level as a server farm. psychology has actually been sliding into viewing the brain as computers, and computers as equivalents to the human brain, and it's caused a lot of harm. we can't talk about some psychological phenomena without using Computer Terms to do it because that's the language that was given to them. viewing humans and computers as functionally equal with enough bits to replicate neurons won't humanize robots, it will dehumanize humans. it is advanced as an ideology for that purpose. in the end i see humans viewing art and integrating it into their own ideas for art as valuable because i think that humans don't exist to create a profit for some guy in silicon valley and i think that enriching human lives is good. humans don't "learn" art in order to produce replicas; the art is a byproduct.

any trans person should get HRT for free (no insurance required) and in exchange they should participate in the occasional study/survey.

research into sex hormones and their effects is so scarce and you have a whole ass population group who's willing to not only switch up their hormones but keep it up for very long periods of time. you could run some incredible long term studies with participants across all sorts of demographics.

while it's impossible to conduct any blind studies on this due to observable change in appearance, there's still so so so much data we're giving up on because we'd rather...

lemme check my notes. that cant be right.

...because we'd rather deny trans people health care and let them die. huh.

Being both a Transformers fan and other mecha media fan is like. So tiring lmao. The discourse about "Transformers ≠ Mecha" on Twitter is just painfully headache inducing.

Transformers is Mecha. Super Robot genre, to be exact. It falls under the same category as the Brave/Yuusha series of sentient robots. And no. Not all Braves were human-made. In the same way, in some canon, Cybertronian were created, not born.

Take Death Drives from Bravern, for example. They are fully sentient, they do not require a pilot, they are an alien lifeforms that evolved over millions of years AND have an after life. They are still considered Mecha because they are mechanical life forms.

Mecha as a genre is very important and very influential. Transformers being considered a mecha series is not a bad thing. It can be alongside other mecha series as the inspirations for many things yet to come. And that is a beautiful thing.
