#v: android dad

[the-spooky-children]

I have two wolves in me

One wants Skidad to be a chaotic evil irredeemable villain that kills kids for his immortality cult and only married Lila and has Skid for the cult

The other wants Skidad to have done terrible no good very bad things for the cult but then died and has been trapped in the mannequin and forced to reflect on all the shit he's done for years until by episode 10 he's a completely different person and he still cracks jokes all the time

[serialadoptersbracket]

Round 3, Match 1: Bruce Wayne vs. Pascal

Submitted kids:

Bruce Wayne: Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Damian and Athanasia al Ghul, Cassandra Cain, Jarro, Stephanie Brown, Barbara Gordon, Terry and Matthew McGinnis, Helena Wayne, Harper and Cullen Row, Duke Thomas (Arguments promised)

Pascal: Village children

Propaganda under the cut!

Bruce Wayne:

1. “Man can't deal with empty nest syndrome and cannot look past an orphan child without adopting them. He takes in Dick when Dick is 12 (he eventually does adopt Dick after Dick is already an adult), after being one of many people to witness Dick's parents die. After Dick went off to do his own thing he met Jason who was living on the streets after his Mom died. After Jason died, Tim shoved his way into Bruce's life saying that Bruce needed a partner in crime solving after Jason's death (Tim still had parents who were alive at this point, they did eventually die and was taken in by Bruce). Cassandra's circumstances I'm not fully clear on but she was raised by her bio dad to be a living weapon and she ran away (from my understanding at least) and Bruce took her in. Duke was taken in after his parents were hospitalized due to a Joker attack and were/are unlikely to recover. Bruce also mentors other children heroes including Barbara Gordon and Stephanie Brown, both are close to his kids and are sometimes seen as under his wing as well, but neither see him as a parent.”

Link to the rest here!

Pascal:

“not putting all of his lore here be of the pg-13 rule but he's this robot who is the sweetest guy imaginable, he is pretty smart cares a lot for his kids (again, cant get TOO into that but he is v/ protective of them) and also is a pacifist who rlly just peace between the androids & machines even tho thats pretty fucking difficult (he even is an ally to the android resistance and trades w/ them frequently!)

from his unit data (because im Bad at describing things lol):

‘A pacifist machine lifeform that despises conflict and strives endlessly for peace with humanity.

This unit possesses incredible intelligence, as well as a deep interest in the history of both humans and machines.’”

more headcanons idk

connor can js like always land on his feet. but only when like falling or sliding or smth, he can and will bump into a table n fall on his face. makes for some super cool superhero moves tho

markus loves the color orange. everyone finds him weird.

NO CLUE if ive said this before (probs have sorry), but markus can go from respected leader to leo manfred’s annoying little brother (can we PLEASE get more sibling relationship w these two? maybe? idk bug ask ig) with zero transition. like, “look out! the man who js have androids rights has js put a fake bug on ur pillow!” kinda shit idk

markus LOVES to push hank’s buttons. like, dude leave the poor grandpa alone!! thats ur bf’s dad (or bf/ex idfk u can decide that one)

jericrew has fallen asleep in a pile on top of eachother more than once!!!!!!!!!!

connor n simon were super awkward around each other at first lmao. simon was terrified that connor was gonna snap n kill everyone n connor was terrified that simon was gonna snap n take random children hostage. they, QUICKLY, realized that both of these thoughts were irrational. they r now v close

connor, the two tracis u see at the eden club, n rupert r all some weird little friend group. idk where i got this thought but i did!! n it wont leave!! please help!!

sometimes markus’ replacement parts will pop out random. android doctors i forgot the word, connor, simon, n KAMSKI have all tried n figure out whats wrong w him. absolutely nothing. it js happens. it has (more than once) happened in the middle of a v important meeting, n he scared the shit out of politicians

kara uses mom emojis if that makes sense

yes, im aware that hank’s technically a millennial, but looking at his birth yr hes so close to gen x he would have some of the same.. tendencies. “connor! how do u work this thing!” is probably top five most used phrases in the anderson household

[my-timing-is-digital]

‘You are a fine debater, sir, but we have had our fair share of time travellers, supposed, genuine or otherwise,’ Data stated factually. ‘It is not up to you to make that determination; it is my obligation to apprise my commanding officers of your arrival and they will decide on whether your presence is a potential threat to the Enterprise and could jeopardise the crew’s safety or not.’

Data was not being unreasonable, far from it. He was simply conforming to protocol; time travel was a sensitive topic in the 24th century and demanded to be administered with utmost diligence and pragmatism ⸺ time travel did not allow a bountiful margin for error. By introducing himself and perorating about matters that could in and of itself have astronomical repercussions with respect to how the future from this point forward would evolve, the Doctor had unwittingly infringed the Prime Directive.

And whatever insights the Doctor possessed concerning his positronic brain, its processing capacity and range, Data was relatively certain the majority of the “facts” were not applicable to Soong-type androids. He was a sophisticated design, yes, but he differed immensely from the image the man before him envisioned him to be. He had praised him and gave him credits that were undue; he gravely overestimated the android’s superior-to-24th-century-humanoid qualities. But somehow, a subroutine in the back of his mind inferred that the other would not bend so easily to arguments that were antithetical to the man’s misconception of the Commander’s programming...

And then, there was the matter of trust. He had no instinct that could guide him, no gut feeling he could rely on. Data was left dangling in the dark with not the faintest idea whether he was stumbling into a deceptively employed trap that could incapacitate or exploit him, or that the man’s words rang with sincerity and truth. Visibly confounded by this convoluted quagmire, desperately attempting to grasp the unfathomable, the android decided to resort to something that had always served him with immaculate precision, a method that was dependable to the last letter: regulations. Rules. His fundamental respect for all living organisms, to which this individual, whoever he might be, was no exception, still offered him the benefit of the doubt. However, that did not imply that he trusted him. Trust and naivety had led him down myriad hazardous paths and eventuated in erroneous actions and decisions that had almost cost him his life, more than once. He would not err again by neglecting to preserve a sense of vigilance, until his subroutines’ trepidation was placated and he could tether logical explanations to the man’s spiel, validating his statements that weighed so heavily upon blind trust... Something Data could not, at present, capitulate to, although he looked upon the exploration of the Doctor’s promising holoprogram with insatiable anticipation.

‘I must inform you, that as an android I am incapable of withholding information from others, and of generating falsifications or untruths; my programming, simply put, does not allow it. I cannot stray from the bedrock my creator has laid down for me; I must abide by my moral and ethical subroutines,’ he said patiently. ‘I hope you can respect that and know I do not harbour ill-intent nor is it my sole purpose to get you into trouble or chastise you, but I must stress that the gravity of this situation does not permit me to be lax and remiss in my conduct and approach to this... anomalous occurrence.’

Data had listened to him with excessive assiduity and with either warranted or unwarranted scepticism. And despite the evidence the Doctor presented to him, he could not disregard the fact that this individual was a stranger who had successfully gained unauthorised access to the lives and facilities on this side of the ship’s duranium hull. Perhaps it would be prudent to pursue a different avenue to convey the magnitude of this conundrum. And in order to establish that he opted to draw inspiration from the personal ramifications that would ensue should Data himself neglect to update his superiors on this aberration.

‘Sir, with all due respect, but if I fail to report this singularity to Captain Picard, I risk being court-martialled on the grounds of insubordination and deliberate concealment of potentially harmful information. That will definitely eventuate in the premature denouncement of my Starfleet career, which I am unwilling to sacrifice for the purpose of indulging you by my participation in your astutely devised holoprogram,’ the android said composedly, neither agitation nor sympathy audible in his euphonious voice; just the cool determination of a machine trying to find a solution, trying to solve a problem...

"Ah! Leave it to an android to be forward- of course, of course." He moves to slide his hands into his pockets and begins to think. He's not sure which crew of the Enterprise he's come into contact before, and it's been so long- well all the starship crews seem to blend together, you see!! And he can't be bothered to memorize every distinct crew member. The Doctor exhales and begins formulating a string of statements prepared to put Data into a position that's more amicable. Indeed, The Doctor has no quarrel with the Enterprise, and wishes to only get back to his ship and fly away- but stranger things have gotten The Doctor mixed up in all sorts of situations- so better to play it safe.

Okay, in a time of desperation, he moves to hit Data with something he almost usually never resorts to immediately: The Truth. The Doctor clears his throat, one hand near his mouth while the other hand rests in his pocket.

"Right, yes- You see: I am a Timelord. I'm usually referred to as The Doctor." He put a lot of Grandeos into the statement: Timelord. As if the race was still in the sky, blinking with the other stars. He said his name: The Doctor- with a puff of his chest, giving the name a lot of importance, even though it was nothing more than a title. "I am- for all intents and purposes- A Time Traveller-- From The Future-!" He quickly snaps his fingers and points towards Data, "Register my body language- I am telling the truth-" He pauses, inhaling. He does give Data time to actually scan him. The Doctor isn't aware of whether or not Data has the capacity to do a deeper scan, but in times like this- it's best to just let an Android scan whatever he wants. Data will register alien physiology- two hearts- a binary vascular system- and a significantly lower body temperature- as well as DNA that can not be physically logged or matched to any known races within the federation.

"Either I am telling the truth- or, whatever I am telling you is something I believe to be the truth." He intercepts, catching any attempt to put in, watching Data's body language with much precision. Data is a supercomputer, but in very many ways so is The Doctor. "Have the Holodeck do a scan for non-simulated objects. It'll detect you, myself- and a non-living object--" He ropes his proof into the mix, a risky play- but against a computer, it's his ace in the hole, "Ask for its exact measurements and your personal positronic mainframe will conclude that it can only be the size of a London Police Box from the twentieth century." He knows Data is precise- precise enough to know these things- any Android should be, and any Android with a Positronic brain would know things that no other ordinary Android should know.

"That is my ship- my SpaceTime Machine, to be precise-" He explains, still standing across from Data but having leaned slightly forward, hand in his pocket and finger extended- as if he's waiting to be released from that spot, "Now! Of course, you could alert your senior officers to me, and you could wait for them to get through all the necessary senior operating procedures in order to delegate me to the status of a non-threat-- if you had reason to believe I was a threat-- which I'm not." He explained, making a gesture with his free hand to accentuate how boring that all sounds. He continued, "But if you had every reason to believe I wasn't a threat-- which I'm not--" He paused to raise eyebrows at Data.

"Then, virtually- all you'd be required to do per Starfleet operating procedure is ascertain of your own accord that I am not a threat- which, to repeat, I'm not." He moved toward the window, opening it up and pointing down the photographically generated street to show the Police Box, which was a model and a paint job that should not exist in the programmed century of Arthur Doyle's work- meaning that this is not a Holodeck generated item. "And of course- if Starfleet can account for Time Travelling, then surely you must know that if I am from the future, your prime objective should be to get me back to my own time--" The Doctor cut him off to continue standing, leaning forward again. "And luckily for you! I have the means to do that of my own accord-- which I want to do! Meaning that for all intents and purposes-- I am a visitor who is a non-threat to the enterprise and doesn't have to be logged in any report for any reason due to his nature as a time-sensitive individual." He stood up straight, scratching the pink locks behind his head as he continued his speech- he had a few more bullet points to hit, and by god- he was going to hit them.

"Now-- that does just leave you with the simple conundrum: What to explain when a senior officer enters--" The Doctor predicts that by all means, logical and physical, an android would want to account for every exact possibility- or perhaps The Doctor is just paranoid, and tying up his own loose ends- either way, he gives Data a solution, "Seeing as I have no intention of leaving The Holodeck any time soon-- well... you could simply inform a senior officer or deck officer that I'm... simply a simulation you engineered to interact with an intellect as strong as you--" He raises his finger, "But of course," he intercepts his own logic with an assumed logical response to his own question-

"The only way the computer would be able to generate an intellectual equal of your own without endangering the crew would be to give it elements of characters who generate nonsensical statements for very little logical reasoning--" He finally concludes, doing a dramatic bow before Data, "Meaning that I am not an intruder..."

"I am the Holodeck's interpretation of The Mad Hatter~"

[androidcharles]

Decided to take a small break from my project (if you've been following my main blog, you know exactly what I'm talking about) to tell you guys all about android!Charles and his... ahem, special specs.

It comes w/ a little history: when Project SAI was still in business, they made a deal w/ the CCC: they would regulate any chaos that would happen within the complex and they would get a few androids for free in exchange, working to train them right away the minute they were off the press. They designed the self destruct system for the complex and were able to install some special tools within the androids to help them combat specific chaos scenarios.

Unit CC, later renamed Charles, had specs for these tools hidden within his files, encrypted heavily. Luckily, Dr. V was able to recover them and some of the tools he was implemented with. Here's the full suite (or somewhat) of Charles' special weapons.

Ghost Vision (Specter-photometer)

Charles has a multitude of visions in order to help him see and assess situations. One of those visions is ghost vision, which allows him to see ghosts and what they look like. He can't talk to them unless they want to talk to him. He had this vision even when he was fixed up by his dad. He was later given a specteraudiometer so he could talk to the ghosts and the specs show that he was also given ghost busting equipment, though Dr V. has chosen not to reinstall this for personal reasons.

Magic De-stabilizer

A special tool used to destabilize any magic, including hypnosis magic. While it has it's limits, it's the most useful tool that Charles has, as he uses it whenever Ellie or Henry fall victim to accidental magic hypnosis.

Magic Absorption Array

Charles can absorb any magical attacks that come at him. Once again, it has it's limits (think the absorb fail from the Revenged ending), but so far Charles hasn't had to use it for anything extreme. He can even take the magic he's absorbed and actually fire it back at his opponent. This is the closest you'll ever get to Charles using actual magic.

Magic Detector

Charles can detect almost any kind of magic within a two mile (about 3.2 kilometers) radius. If it gives off a magic signature, chances are Charles is able to locate it. It's not a vision unfortunately, it's more like a metal detector, so he has to listen closely for the pings in order to locate the magic.

And that's pretty much all he's got. He had WAY more when he was working for the CCC, but most of it was ripped out when he was declared defective or discarded when he joined the government forces.

[canislucrum]

hellu hellu gloss here ( s/h, 21+ ) n happy opening day 2 us all!!! can't wait 2 get plottin n interactin w all ur cool muses ♡ im gna be writing for mr venture capitalist, wolf of ansan street, jin hansol!! he's lived in astra nearly all his life and only recently got his ass booted 2 ansan bc his rich n influential daddi-o pulled some strings to get his ass kicked out so ... awkward ... but yes!! you can find more nonsense info on hansol under the cut, but as alw, pls hit that LIKE button n ill come runnin into ur dms!!! also if u have d*scord pls pls lmk bc i cannot for the life of me keep up w tumblr ims orz edit 10/07: so i've decided hansol is gna take on a fake identity as some not-from-ansan dude named kim wonshik bc the anti-astra sentiment in nightrunners ( aka the place he's tryna infiltrate n gentrify ) is p strong and his family is too much of a household name rn!! he's gna be known as jin hansol in business and clinical settings but other times he's gna be known as wonshik but yep!! so muses from ansan prob only ever know of him as wonshik unless we plot otherwise <3

if ur an astrology h0 like me then ♡ he's a leo sun / scorpio moon / aries rising which explains a lot of his fuckassery behaviours 👅

lil backstory: his family owns cynet cybernetics, a v longstanding company and one of the major providers of androids ( aka ai robots / humanoids that run around doin ur house chores 4 u... yep... )!! they were one of the first in astra 50y ago which means hansol was born in astra!! he's Never been to ansan and honestly kinda looks down on it ( pun not intended ) so we know where this is goin 🥶

anw he's born middle child between big bro n lil sis n was unsurprisingly neglected : )) he was alm exclusively raised by cynet androids yikers so altho his physical needs were tended 2 as a kid ( 2 the point of overindulgence honestly ), his emotional needs is that year 1 science textbook sittin in the deep corner beggin 2 b read

a lot of his experience shaped who he was as a teen!! he was a bit of a black sheep n would alw get into tons of trouble like tw underage drinking and drug use n it was all rlly j his own way of trying to get his father's attention!! it seemed like those were the only times his dad ever acknowledged his existence even tho it was usually j 2 express his disappointment

meanwhile his obnoxiously overachieving older bro is taken under daddi-o's wing when he comes of age, even starts 2 intern @ cynet n this pushes hansol to clean up his act!! ofc given his track record his dad is Not goin 2 award him the same internship @ cynet so he ends up trying to prove himself in other ways aka scoring deals, funding startups w his sizeable pocket money, buying out said startups when it shows promise!! he's also a bit of a gambler n even got the rights to revel mayb ab 1y ago in a moderately high-stakes poker games so uh... revel peeps say hi 2 ur absentee owner ♡ also has a ton of body mods to help him cheat in these poker games aka cyberaudio 2 b able to pick up change in tone aka if the person is lying n cyberoptics which helps him read hidden cards!! i'll update his body mods page someday rip

ofc despite all his efforts, none of these r big enough to impress his dad so he goes higher!!! word spreads ab his 'talent' @ the game n this leads to his invitation to play a v v high-stakes poker game w the big boys aka dad's competitors friends!! it's to the point that they don't dabble in cash anymore so this is rlly The Game that would get him his father's attn if he won so he rlly goes all in!! all of the jin family members get a small share of cynet to ensure that the company stays in the family and ultimately overpowers non-relative shareholders in big decisions, n bc hansol is positive he's gna win ( bc he's cheating lol ) he bets his share of cynet eek

ends up LOSING bc it turns out they were cheating too but !! he only knows they're cheating bc he's cheating so can u imagine how that argument is goin 2 go down : )) so yeah cynet is so super impt 2 his family n his dad was absolutely livid to find out that hansol gambled his share away n chalked it up 2 his 'delinquent activities' being so bad 2 the point where it's not only detrimental 2 himself but 2 his family!!! anw 2 regain that cynet share that hansol lost, his dad reports him to the authorities for cheating ( dad obv found out ab his mods bc whose credit card do u think he's usin to install em ) n pulls some strings to get him kicked tf out of astra

so yeah now he's here!! it's been 3 months since n he's still trying to prove himself, this time 2 prove 2 his dad that he's a better businessman than his dad will ever be n the first step is 2 get himself back on astra!! of interest one of his current ventures is to gentrify the betting ring @ the nightrunners races n j make it more organised / official but understandably the nightrunners want their own representative runnin these bets so yeah this means hansol is tryna officially become a nightrunner

personality wise i'd say he's v cunning, likes to think he's more like his dad than his brother is bc he can be p cutthroat and he knows a good deal when he sees one ( n honestly it's true it's prob why his dad loathes him extra ) n he takes a lot of pride in it!! ( yeah he's got a capital D for daddy issues )

also has a bit of a one-track mind so it's like if it's related 2 wtv business venture he's focused on then he'll care 2 the point of obsession n micromanaging but if it's not a priority then he will literally pretend it doesn't exist!! what this means espc socially is if ur someone who's eg a nightrunner he'll be v present 2 u but if ur eg working @ revel he literally could not give less of a shit u prob won't even recognise him that's how absent he is

he can be really charming when he wants to be but honestly it's j part of the game, v wolf of wall street villain coded, has a predatory instinct @ pursuing wealth n will stop at nothing rlly

this is also bad but in line w bein raised by androids n just not respecting ansan at all it can sometimes feel like he's treating ansan as sorta his playground n by extension he doesn't rlly treat a lot of ppl from ansan like real humans n this may sometimes be sorta alluded to in j how he talks or the things he does......... but yeah this sorta goes back 2 his stuff w the nightrunners, like j not respecting their races n stuff n j seeing it as a business opportunity but idk!! mayb w more time in ansan he'll have a good character arc n learn 2 care for things

err as alw i've rambled on waaay too much so if uve made it this far i wanna personally thank u ♡ also below r some plots 2 get us started w the brainstormin!!

since he's p hyperfocused on the nightrunners rn i feel like @ nightrunners there'd b plenty of opportunities 4 positive n negative interactions!! mayb he's tricked u w his charm n u think he genuinely loves racing n shit teehee or ur sus ab his motivations n ur sleepin w one eye open when he's around idk!! i'd also love a nightrunner who's a friend of his ( who he probably approached when he heard ab the existence of these races ) who queued him in that nightrunners only want their own people runnin these bets, which gives him the bright idea 2 become a nightrunner!!

did i mention he loves a good gamble <333 anyone who's a gambling fiend urself pls step right up!!! he also prob places bets on fighters @ the underground so if ur muse is a fighter mayb he places a bet on u!! or against u!! hansol is also not above cheatin so imagine he approaches u n tells u to lose on purpose or smth n he'll give u money in return....

alternatively anyone working @ revel say hello 2 ur boss 😩 i imagine the prev boss was a little more hands on bc they actually cared a lil more for revel and since the ownership's passed to him it's rlly j been goin downhill... also fun thread where he dines @ revel for the first time n mayb he doesn't pay n they confront him n he's like i own this place n they're like o so ur also delusional

he honestly gets a cybermod for literally anyth ( could also b purely for aesthetic purposes honestly ) so anyone workin @ the circle installation centre and apollo medical see u for the monday am appt

he's currently staying at la mariposa ( yeah he was cut off from his fam but this is j proof of privilege 🤡 aka bein his father's son has helped him start off w a large capital to get his hands into a lot of diff businesses which are all now paying off n funding his time @ ansan )

i can also imagine hansol may not be So forthcoming ab him being from astra espc when he finds out ab some of the anti-astra sentiment so idk it would b cool if he kinda lied ab his identity to u n u bought into it n he's literally not at all the person u became friends w ( or even started dating 👀 )

alternatively if ur a diehard fan of astra he will use his birthright as an advantage : )) or if uve been to / are from astra mayb!!! yall could've known each other somehow!!

someone he's pissed off or wronged n mayb now it's comin back 2 bite him in the ass!!!

catch him at orbital sometimes bc old habits die hard

even someone workin at or used to work at cynet?? like the ansan branch or smth!! i feel like ur muse would know him bc he's part of the jin family n ngl once he finds out he's immediately gna start treatin ur muse as like an assistant or smth......... .. .. .... .... orrr mayb he will ask u for info on how daddi-o's doin idk lots of room 4 brainstormin!!

a bunch of his body mods r to make him a good poker player which is rlly handy in business bc he can usually tell when someone's lying!! maybe ur muse is tryna lie to him ab smth n hes like 🧐

[wilt3d-r0zes]

omigosh klaus two posts in one day wowie dawg  anyways one thing i find funny is that the lab rats fandom basically has two sides- incest shippers and normal people (/hj). NOW im not even going to TOUCH on some of the scarier sides of that, but I just want to talk about Marcus/Chase and NO im not defending it before you angrily scroll away or unfollow or whatever

What I want to say is that no, that ship is not realistic. I actually used to ship them because I was looking for an excuse to give Chase more heartbreak. I’ve moved on to bigger, better and far more realistic things now: Marcus will not have any romantic attraction towards the rats, on top of that he probably doesn’t have any romantic attraction at all because honestly I doubt Douglas programmed that into his android that isn’t gonna live past 16.

However, Chase falls in love way too easily. Boy falls in love at the drop of a hat. You compliment him? Congrats, he will marry you tomorrow /hj. So my HC now is that Chase had a crush on Marcus for like, a while, but because Marcus never made the first move (since he obviously does not like his more-or-less brother back in that way), nothing ever came of it. It still counts as heartbreak to him when Marcus inevitably betrays them.

Plus! It’s still realistic and not as creepy? Chase has no idea that Marcus is his more-or-less brother. He doesn’t even know Donald isn’t his real dad at this time. I am 100% sure that he cringes over this crush regularly for years to come once he realizes they’re more-or-less brothers. If Adam and Bree know they absolutely made fun of him for it for a v e r y long time and Bree weaponized it when he made fun of her crushes (”At least I didn’t want to fuck my brother!” “I DIDNT KNOW--!”)

Plus it’s funny

one thing I think is dumb is that nobody seems to consider this idea? It’s always one or the other, dating or platonic. Seriously?? Nobody remembers that these are still humans in-universe that have feelings like this? That this could totally actually happen to a person? Actually, this kinda thing HAS happened to a person- less dramatically, but people have dated and then found out they’re siblings/related in some way before.

anyways that’s my HC for the day goodbye

Do You Think Any Other Games Are Really "GTA Style" Games?

Do You Think Any Other Games Are Really "GTA Style" Games? In the time we have all been waiting for VI I've watched a lot of videos and read lists of games that are supposed to be "GTA Clones" or at least "GTA Style".I've even bought and played quite a few, but never found one that I would consider particularly similar to The Trilogy, IV or V in real terms.I wouldn't call any of them GTA clones, but I think after V and the long wait till VI everyone and their dad was looking for exactly that.We got a slew of videos and articles popping up claiming anything open world with guns, cars, and a story was a GTA clone, listing them one by one, as if just to fill a half hour video or a webpage.Yeah, YouTube and site traffic it all gathered "may have been" some "contributing factor", granted... /Dr Evil air-quotes.Regardless, suddenly it seemed there were a ton of games queueing up to be labelled as GTA clones, while trying to hide all their other real credentials behind their backs.Saints Row, especially the latest one, is great, but it doesn't feel anything like playing GTA. There are bits of it that slightly "echo" GTA, mainly the driving which is quality, but it's great in it's own right.I didn't feel at all like I was playing GTA with Saints Row, unless you only count the GTA "Strangers and Freaks" missions, with additional doses of freaky strangeness steroids.It's more some strange futuristic psychedelia with guns and cars, and I didn't wish I was playing GTA again until the all too short game ended.I have all of them on one Launcher or another, but the only one I put more than an hour into (completed) was the reboot, as I basically bought them all at the same time and that looked to be the best one.Just Cause is even less like GTA in every way so not sure how that is even on the list, and I've not played Sleeping Dogs yet, despite owning it, or Total Overdose so can't comment.Yakuza 0 I have played (completed), and that's another one that is very different from GTA but very fun. It's way more a beat em up than anything else, but it does have progression, and a very Japanese story that doesn't remind me of anything I've ever seen in GTA whatsoever.Mafia, I don't know if it was trying to be like GTA, but I couldn't get into it as I didn't really enjoy the driving or gunplay as much as GTA over the maybe hour or so total I put into Mafia III.That's another one I bought the whole series at once and only tried the newest one of it first. Apparently they are good if you stick with them.The car in Mafia III felt like driving a truck to me, and the combat didn't have the polish or features I hoped for. Was that the one the gun jams constantly by any chance?I will try III again, but not think of it as a substitute for GTA this time (I definitely bought it hoping it was...), so I will potentially enjoy it more as "Mafia" instead of "So We Herd U Liek GTA".I assume it all get's better, but I literally was looking for something more like GTA at the time, ironically it's really just not particularly similar.Admittedly, and now I think on it more, the main or maybe only reason I picked up most of those titles, WAS because they were on those videos and lists of "10 GTA Clones TO Play While You Wait!"The Android games (Gangstar?) that were supposedly GTA like, were so riddled with micro-transactions I just couldn't, but I like China Town Wars some as mobile games go.I still have not personally found any game out of the ones I tried that really reminded me of any GTA particularly much, so just wondering if anyone thinks similarly or otherwise?

♢ Samantha Cooper (25+) ⭒ programmer ⭒ Samara Weaving ♢

♢ name: Samantha Danielle Cooper ♢ age: 25+ ♢ faceclaim: Samara Weaving ♢ occupation: Computer programmer ♢ education: Bachelor's in computer science ♢ family: David Cooper (dad, estranged), Diana Gaines (mom), Roy Gaines (step-dad), Evan Cooper (brother, older)

♢ history: Cooper was a daddy's girl until he took off when she was ten, and the separation was hard on her, made worse by his sporadic reappearances, though it's been years. When he disappeared, her older brother filled that void, and they became very close. She'd always had a good relationship with her mother as well, who ran a home daycare and remarried a mechanic, Roy, when Cooper was twelve. She doesn't dislike him, but they've never been close, and she still calls him by his first name.

In high school, she was notorious for rigging the theme for Sadie Hawkins as Pirates v. Ninjas and Rick Rolling every computer in every lab in the school at the same time. By default, Cooper ended up at the local university and joined a sorority her freshman year. Though the girls could be a little snobby for her tastes, it was a lot like having a pseudo-family, and she still values the connections.

Cooper's brain was always moving ten times faster than everyone else's, and her mouth and body weren't far behind. (Just kidding. Her mouth is usually engaged before her brain. It's a problem.) She channels all that erratic energy into computers, partying, and an endless string of quick relationships. She knows she's loud, annoying, and bad at following rules, so she made herself indispensable in her field so employers would overlook her total lack of tact. Post-college, she had a number of job options and picked the one that paid the most.

♢ verses: ⭒ california!dreaming: Cooper's main verse, where she's working her way up as a computer programmer. ⭒ alien!verse: A computer programmer who's worked heavily with androids and MU-TH-UR, she's a science officer aboard any of the ships that accidentally (or purposefully) discover the Xenomorphs.

guys guys guys I DISCOVERED A THING!!!!!

so I was in Israel taking photos (as you do) with my dad's DSLR (basically Fancy Digital Camera™️ for ye non-photography nerds or those without a current photography hyperfixation) and since phone cameras are generally forgiving, you don't have to worry about things like long exposure times and standing as still as a Weeping Angel in a town square during the middle of the day when you're taking a photo at night. So, when you don't, things blur and you have to finagle with editing software to fix it.

Yes, I know that second-to-last sentence was long and oddly specific, but bear with me for a ✨TRIPPY LIGHT BLUR PICTURE TUTORIAL! :D✨ It works marginally better if you sing that part to the tune of Doofenschmirtz Evil Incorporated!

The point here is to use the fact that you need more light to see at night to your advantage. Especially with Fancy Digital Cameras™️.

So, for ye Fancy Digital Camera™️ users:

go outside at night to place with lights

press shutter

move camera a noticeable amount (does not have to be straight)

done!

AND STICK AROUND BELOW THE BREAK FOR MORE, MY PHONE USERS!

So, if you're using a phone because a) you don't own a Fancy Digital Camera™️ or ii) you own a Fancy Digital Camera™️ but don't take it everywhere you go because those things are really fcking expensive y'all, do not fear! I, Reza, shall teach you things you never knew about your phone!

So, I personally have an iPhone, but from what I can tell, Android is the same principle, but different names. If you need someone who actually knows what they're talking about, I'll direct you to this video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfC2Paezp8k (may have to copypasta the link)

But for iPhone:

open your camera app (I know there's a few non-default ones that'll do this, but I haven't played around with them enough)

tap the screen where you want the camera to focus

there should be a little slidey thing next to that focus square (it has a sun) and slide it up or down to increase or decrease the exposure time (no idea how it works or which way to go for what, again, I only know Fancy Digital Camera™️ well. Go talk to PhotoTok, they probably have this covered).

Android actually has a setting for this under "advanced settings" (aka COOL TIPS THEY REFUSE TO TELL YOU). It's literally called "shutter time". Slide it to about the longest setting you want. Take photos.

I have no idea if this works with film. I think it does, but I don't own a film camera.

Point-and-shoot people: I have no idea how to help you. Use other photography methods or do a ton of research.

I'm going to post some of the photos I took once I get back (because I don't have to deal with the .heic setting on iPhone which is the bane of my photographic existence). It'll be in a reblog or separate post, so until then, happy photo-taking!

@replicantdeviancy || from here

▌ ▲▐ ─────                   A soft chuckle emanate from the back seat, filling the stale air of the car’s interior with it’s pleasant sound. Quite the antithesis to Hank’s projected mood, though admittedly the man had every reason to be sour. His partner had essentially been left for deactivation by one of their own; one of the less seasoned officers with a chip on his shoulder after the revolution. For what reason was unknown, and neither were particularly interested in getting the juicy details. Not when Connor had been left partially disabled and in dire need of repairs.

                  It wasn’t the first time a stakeout had gone tits up, nor was it the first time the android had found himself in danger. Hell, it certainly wouldn’t be the last time he caught a stray bullet but the aftermath had Connor questioning his luck. What petty drug runners were doing with armor piercing rounds was anyone’s guess - this was Detroit, after all. It just so happened that one had caught the android in the lower back as he was making chase after one of the gang members and shattered his spinal assembly.

                  Quite unceremoniously, and rather expendable, Connor’s slender frame had met with the concrete at top speed as all control of his lower half was suddenly ripped out from under him. There he had been left, getting soaked right through his impeccably tailored office-wear and DPD jacket by the chilly fall rain. One of the other officers had only happened upon him by chance. As such, Hank had been called.

                  If ever one would question the man’s physical prowess, even at his age and level of activity, they need only see him haul the dead weight that was a seriously damaged android bridal style to his car. Connor wasn’t necessarily HEAVY ( CyberLife had designed him for speed and agility over strength ) but he was tall and utterly useless to offer assistance. Thankfully, it had all worked out.

                  At least he would be able to receive repairs, though regrettably they would be paying a visit to Belle Isle that eve, as the extent of damage was too great for the department technician to handle. Still, Connor remained relatively upbeat. “As far as he’s concerned, I’m expendable hardware,” the android offered with a shrug. He was sprawled out in Hank’s back seat with his immobile legs bent at the knee in order to fit. “It can’t be helped…” He could feel Thirium still seeping from his reservoir in slow yet steady drips, even when having isolated the damaged areas internally.

                  Concerning, but not vital. If anything, he was more worried about the old car’s interior. The stain would eventually disappear to the naked human eye but the lingering knowledge that his blood still painted the well cared for leather of the classic vehicle did irk the android.

                  It would be hell getting replacement interior.

              Hank’s scowl deepened as the question left his lips and he leaned his body closer towards the steering wheel, his grip tightening around it. It was as if Hank was trying to will his car to move faster than the speed limit. Hank couldn’t help but to wonder if the Android’s soft chuckle was for his own benefit or if it was some kind of a nervous chuckle that Connor had picked up... in either case, it did very little to ease the Lieutenant’s frayed nerves. Seeing his partner just laying there carelessly tossed aside in the rain, as if he were nothing more than an empty tin can, sent his temper soaring sky high. 

              But more than that, Hank had felt concerned and frightened for the Android’s well being. It was a surge of emotions that he hadn’t experienced in quite some time...

              A more logical part of his mind had told him that Connor would be just fine, that his injuries wouldn’t be nearly as fatal as they would be to a human being, but it was the sheer carelessness of the other man that currently rubbed at the lieutenant in the wrong way. Even when he had been pissed off at the Androids, Hank wouldn’t have just left Connor behind to die out there in the rain... they were all far too real looking for him to do that... even back then.

              Hank took in a deep breath and forced himself to relax (seeing as how Connor didn’t seem too worried), so he could allow himself to think more clearly. He decided that he would deal with the asshole who had left Connor behind later, but for now, getting his partner all patched up was by far more important to him.

              "It’s odd...” Hank responded after a moment and glanced back at Connor through the rear view mirror. “How things seem so much different once you’re on the other side of the whole thing. I would have felt the same way at one time...” Hank paused. It was a fact that he couldn’t deny, even as much as he wanted to, but he felt differently now and that’s all that mattered. “I’m glad that things are different now.” He wondered if others would eventually wake up to the truth just as he had... but he was beginning to have his doubts, especially when incidents such as this one kept occurring. 

              “How are you holdin’ up back there?” It was probably a pointless question to ask in the grand scheme of things, but Connor looked all cramped up in the back seat due to his long legs and the way that the older man had to lay him across the back seat... he had been surprised by just how light Connor was, even after he had slammed him up against a few walls. “It shouldn’t take us too much longer to get there.”

"Uh... you feeling alright, kid?" the android shifts back, keeping a cautious eye on Aiden. He'd never seen these kinds of readings from any human - ever.

“Huh--?” At the sound of that voice coming from the unfamiliar creature, Aiden stood perfectly still for a moment, brows raised and eyes trained on them. They were massive, bigger than any other animal he’s been close to before.. 

“I.. y-you can talk..” lips curled into a sheepish smile, clawed hands rising to fiddle shyly in front of himself. Were they.. friendly? They had asked him if he was okay, but..

“I-I’m fine. Maybe a little tired, but.. I’m sorry, but who are you?”
