#this is about Detroit become human actually

Took me three hours to find a fanfic where the main character has any other emotion outside of bone-crushing fear for the other characters to sympathize over

my favorite pastime is shipping ships from stuff i don’t watch

this fandom pairs gavin and the rk900 dude like theres no tomorrow, which is lovely, follow ur bliss, happy for you. i want that same energy for north and kara. they are sampling from parallel water wells, they are running on similar batshit frequencies. north like 'what if we blow their ass up' (iconic of her) and kara like 'i'll run straight into high-velocity traffic man i'll fucking do it' (and then she did it) like these two women. repeatedly exposed to apathy, violence, cruelty. repeatedly wiped of their memories to keep them passive in the face of constant abuse. what if they met and held hands and raised alice to be their madmax pipe-bomb slinging baby . anyone.

Maybe they don’t need the “get along shirt”…? Maybe a get along separated play pen? You know :3 when you feed the animals on separate sides of a baby gate so they’re safe but get to know each other :3

“Separated play pen” //// “DPD holding cells”. Close enough, right?

Hank leaves them there for the weekend sometimes when he just wants to relax.

oh my god. the sheer nostalgia of d:bh fics. bro those andriod diagnostics had me in my feels in 2018. i cannot describe just how fucking obsessed i was with d:bh, that shit was my main fixation for nearly four fuckin years. istg i scoured every fuckin whumpy reed900 ao3 fic there was until 2021. i have never been more invested in any fandom or anything in my entire life

[maddsmallow]

this is exactly how it happened, right

inspired by the fact that i think connor’s posture is really funny throughout the game

i used this pic by @the-1-bigshot as a template, please show them some love!

I don't want a badly-veiled allegory for antiblack racism in america I want to see what specific prejudices these aliens face and how overcoming them would be different from human racism because a fundamentally different species is involved.

Are humans hesitant to let them be dentists because they don't have mouths?

Do humans not trust their authenticity because they are hyper-advanced AI indistinguishable from a sentient being?

How do they navigate a world built for completely different psychology from them? If staring is how their species evolved to signal 'I am a safe and trustworthy person' but humans evolved to see it as a threat when sustained?

Do we build benches for them in an arc shape because their legs aren't structured for comfort on a straight bench?

What are the traits the species has, and how does it uniquely interact with the human world? Prejudices are rarely conjured out of thin air, but rather are exaggerations of existing or perceived differences. So if that is the story you wish to tell, take that into account and how discrimination comes about! Is it fair because there are certain things we each can and cannot do, or is it unfair because a few incidents got blown out of proportion but as a species they are just as capable of a certain thing?

And most importantly - it goes all ways! What do the aliens think of the humans? All of these questions can and should be considered from their perspective too!

Imagine putting out content for a fandom instead of just obsessively turning media over in your mind every day like you’re polishing a river pebble to give to your one true love

[hamartia-grander]

I love when a piece of media has the obvious she/theys, he/theys, the catboy, the angry girl, the holy bisexual, the Mom Who Murders, the hugger of all time, the bitchless flirt, the cocky wet dog, the dad who fucks everything up, the trans diversity loss, and the problematic fave.

I don't trust North we disagree on literally almost everything why does me attempting to still be a civil human being with the basics of decency lock Markus and her into a romance what the heck

[iwonderwh0]

So I googled the origin of the name Connor to confirm if it's actually considered irish, and LMAO he literally has "I love dogs" coded into his name.

[quiescentem-puella]

incredible coincidence that I happened to watch dead boy detectives on netflix and play detroit become human at the same timeand this has in fact RUINED me bc now i'm deep in the trenches of buddy cop romances

and also. if i had a nickel for every time this week I fell in love with an autistic-coded, awkward, uptight, logic-driven goody-two-shoes with slicked-back hair who can't quite die the way humans do, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't much but damn the coincidences

[kidrunaway]

people need to stfu whenever I post simarkus edits

"I don't like Simon x Markus"

"I'm not a fan of this ship but I love the edit/art!"

"I like (ship name) better"

Then scroll nobody is holding you hostage and is forcing you to watch Simon and Markus kiss in 4k

I share the same birthday as Elijah Kamski?!? Inventor of the first android to pass the turing test?!?
