Excellent AU. Plus, Sandman is a great alias and would fit if Daisuke kept him alive and awake.

mr sandman… man me a sand… build a better life, i know that you can

continuation of my au where bedman comes back and starts going by sandman, in an effort to distance himself from his past and become a better person

at least he goes by ‘sandman’ on the Clock, that is. more info under the cut

so you know how asukas doing his little radio show on the moon where he relays facts and statistics and shit

well, how does he get that information, i wonder? it’s fine, says asuka. he has a guy

Romeo Is That Guy. he’s a little (paid) intern

he’s perfect for the job because he still has His Big Ol Brain. he can memorize Whatever. so instead of memorizing the names of people he’s killed, he instead travels the world. gathers info where things are happening. gathers info where things are not happening. he’s a field researcher, observer, and a reporter, wrapped into one

he won’t interfere, unless he thinks it’ll do some good.

he gets to actually experience the world. delilah too! sometimes she comes along to gather info as a sketch artist. she’s got that courtroom artist photographic memory

don’t worry though, she gets paid too. romeo tends to work himself too hard, sometimes out of passion, and sometimes as a means of self-harm. asuka frets over it because to him, it all feels a little too familiar.

i think there’s a lot of poetic justice in the idea of romeo working for asuka and having him as a bit of a mentor figure after thinking he had that with ariels/uni. will and only being met with manipulation. i think asuka would help romeo re-learn how to trust others, and romeo would help asuka stay connected to the world and to people while he works on his own shit too.

i also think there’s something Healing about baiken finding out that her two little guys are working for asuka, Of All Fucking People, and finding that she’s … okay with that. provided he gives them health insurance too, of course. Nature Is Healing

oh, and don’t pull up his bangs. he’s still missing an eye, and his full face is a little. Incongruent with reality.

Over all head cannons

Animal reploids –Animaloids

Once in a while, the reploid will make their respected animal sound.

(supported by chill penguin in the day of Sigma “HACK”. Ride Boarski (thought his name was boarserker for the longest) in X 7,  flame mammoth in X1, and Overdrive ostrich X2 )

They also show the behavior of their animals .

(Supported by Blizzard wolfang howling X6, Sting chameleon crawling around, Chill penguin sliding on his belly, and Kuwanger fluttering his wings in Maverick hunter X )

If one animaloid makes their respected sound by another they are likely to respond back with their sound.

Ex. chill penguin chirping at Storm eagle and he chirps back. Or, Chill penguin squawking at Flame mammoth and he trumpets back.

If one animaloid makes his noise loudly, it might trigger all the animaloids to sound off. (some hate this.)

EX. Cyber peacock caws loudly, causing the neighborly animal based reploids to respond.

By default, prey animaloids get uneasy around predatory themed animal reploids. predatory animaloids feel repelled by their respected prey themed animaloids.  This was put into place so both reploids and fully develop their personalities without distraction. But after a while this can be over looked and both parties and interact normally. This built-in mechanism can drive the relationships of the involved reploids though; as how long it takes one to lose his or her restrictions is different for each individual.

EX. Flame stag wants to avoid Neon Tiger because he freaks him out, but Neon Tiger has gotten over his restrictions so he keeps following him; wanting to be friends. In the end Flame stag grows fearful of Neon Tiger and wants to avoid him at all cost believing him to be a weirdo.

Animaloids tend to befriend their own kind. Birds want to talk to birds, bugs to bugs

Supported by Storm eagle and over drive ostrich being friends

Wish I saw this earlier.

Gotta remind myself not to overdo it when looking at beautiful art. There’s this special golden zone where you’re the most inspired and motivated by other people’s art but it’s so easy to slip into overwhelm and get demotivated :(
