I'm Replaying The Game And There's Such A Neat Little Detail I Haven't Noticed Before - All Three Characters

fanfic writing culture isn’t “oh dang! I wanted to write about this prompt with this character but someone else already wrote it, so now I can’t”.

fanfic writing culture is always “two cakes is better than one. the more the merrier. there can ever be enough fics of this character with this prompt!”

"Look, I know you don't sleep, but running into you in the middle of the night while I'm half asleep and you're recharging - or whatever it is you do when you just stand there like a fancy mannequin with your eyes closed - needs to stop or it'll give me a fucking heart attack at some point. Can't you just – do what you need to do – but like in a horizontal position?" Hank asked Connor and the android nodded immediately, a shy smile on his lips. "I apologize for any inconvenience I caused. I can absolutely do that, Hank."

Welcome to my headcanon universe for these two. This definitely happens after the peaceful ending of the android revolution. After a while and some events I may or may not write at some point Connor moves in with Hank and their friendship/grumpy dad and his android son relationship grows.

Normalize leaving unhinged comments on ao3 fics you like. I'm tired of being the only one brave enough to write "I am chewing on this fic" in the comment section. Be weird. Authors will love you for it

there needs to be a cultural shift in america like im not talking about culture war bullshit i mean the average american needs to learn to care about their community and the rest of the world and not be a self-absorbed asshole with a "fuck you i got mine" attitude.

sorry, it's a GOOD thing if cishet people use non-conforming pronouns or dress in non-conforming ways or whatever else. for one, that person may not be cishet. but more importantly, living in a society where more people feel comfortable exploring their relationship to gender and sexuality is an undoubtedly GOOD thing

i know the discussion about machine connor actually being a deviant has been had a million times before but something that makes me feel crazy about machine connor and deviant connor is that they’re both equally driven by a desire to live.

in both routes connor has a fear of failure and subsequently deactivation. the only difference is that deviant connor realizes that cyberlife will never give him the chance to truly live so he must take it into his own hands to deviate, to choose himself.

machine connor on the other hand equally has this same desire, but instead of deviating and to cope with his fear, he decides to complete his tasks for cyberlife because to him, there’s safety in familiarity. in cyberlife. he’s just grasping at straws doing their bidding simply to guarantee his life which makes it so much more devastating that he ends up getting replaced despite doing everything right. all of that for nothing at all. all of that just to meet the very fate he feared the most.

the core of his character and his inner conflicts pertaining to identity and fear and repression remain exactly the same. its just a question of: to do what’s expected of you to guarantee your safety or to take your life into your own hands and be who you truly are? (dare i say connor’s character is a queer allegory but that’s a whole other post)

We all love the “becoming the very thing you sought to destroy,” trope. but I have a growing fondness for “destroying the very thing you sought to become”

not like us getting 3 grammys... when is drake going to crawl into a hole and die

This is essentially the fic "Accident Prone" I've been reading. Basically, every single chapter so far is Connor getting hurt, and Hank getting high blood pressure from these situations

every other hank & connor fanfic is just this
