Deviation (DBH au)

The evening is quiet and tame as Grave works on her new weapon, the slight light from the fading sun illuminating her workspace as she fiddles with her creation.

“Shit…” Pausing her work for a moment, Grave’s eyes wander down towards her hands, and the many small wounds that reside, sliced into her flesh as she had worked, too absorbed in her creation to notice them. Frowning, Grave pulls over some band-aids, carefully applying them to the small cuts littered over her hands.

As she works on applying them, a faint knocking sound comes from the front door to her house, confusion Grave as she shifts her gaze to the door. Not many people would ever come to her house, and especially not at night, making Grave apprehensive as she moves towards the door.

“Hello?” Peering through the peephole, Grave apprehensively greets whoever is behind the door, finding herself face to face with two androids.

“Hello! Are you by any chance Miss Grave?” The shorter of the two androids questions, its voice light as they both stand still, their uniforms perfectly worn as they smile.

“Uh… yeah. Why are you asking?” Grave questions, frowning in confusion as she glows softly, unsure of the situation as the taller android opens their mouth.

“Its nice to meet you. We are your personally assigned androids, designed to assist with everyday tasks around your home.” The taller android explains, a gentle smile pulling at their face as they speak.

“I… that’s nice but w h e r e did you even come from???” Feeling more and more confused as the situation progresses, Grave questions the androids on their origin, wanting answers. They were unlike any model she had seen before, the smaller’s black hair tied up neatly, tiny freckles adorning its face. The taller android had warm skin and curled hair, which had been pulled away from its face, warm freckles littering its cheeks and skin delicately, its eyes slightly different shades of blue.

“We were purchases and written into your ownership by a woman who states she is your mother.” The taller android explains, voice soft and flowy as they speak.

“Greaaat…” Grave sighs, leaning her head against the door as the sarcastic tone rolls off of her tongue. “You can come inside…” She continues, unlocking and opening the door for the androids, unable to suppress all the anger she feels out of her voice.

“Thank you for accepting us into your home. I am the prototype model SC800 but my given name is Scarlet.” The smaller android explains, their LED flickering yellow for a moment before switching back to blue as they enter Grave’s house.

“That’s… t-that’s rad, I guess.” Grave comments, sighing softly as she forces a smile, though it doesn’t touch her face, her eyes remaining dull as she speaks.

“And I am a prototype model RO800 but my name is Rose.” The taller android explains, both androids choosing not to comment on Grave’s strange display of behaviour, thinking better of it.

“Great! Um… I-I gotta go finish a thing.” Grave explains, tapping her feet nervously as she backs away from the two androids, walking quickly to her lab in an effort to get as far away from them as possible.

Watching her leave, the two androids LED’s flicker for a moment, though they let Grave go, able to sense the discomfort coming from her as they move away from the front door, further into the house.

“Hhh what the f u c k, mom?” Entering her lab, Grave leans herself against the wall as she whispers, feeling confused and panicked by the strange situation she now found herself in.

“Y’know what? This is fine! Its great and awesome and not shitty at all.” Grave tries to convince herself, though her voice falls flat. “I love this…” She continues, returning to working on her weapon as the house around her falls quiet, the androids staying silent in the other room as Grave begins to paint the weapon, settling down slightly. But it doesn’t last, Grave’s phone lighting up with a call, making her frown as she picks it up.

“Hello?” Grave questions, her voice sounding frustrated as she holds the phone to her ear.

“Did you get what I sent?” The voice of her mother floods through the phone, sounding as dull and cold as it always had.

“No.” Grave answers swiftly, hanging up the phone as she returns to working on her weapon, not wanting to deal with her mother. But the phone rings again, the noise cutting into Grave as she attempts to ignore it and continue her work. But it keeps ringing, her mother clearly not giving up, making Grave frown as she relents, answering it silently, not wanting to say anything.

“There was no fucking reason to be a brat Grave, I was asking a simple question.” Her mother scolds her, sounding pissed off as Grave rolls her eyes.

“Sorry. Yes, I did get what you sent me. Thank you.” Grave thanks her mother, but the words sound fake and forced as her mother huffs.

“Whats wrong with them? Thought you loved all that technology shit? Prototypes like them should be a must have for you.” Her mother argues, Grave trying to keep herself composed.

“Nothings wrong with them! I love them a lot!” She lies, taking a deep breath as her mother scoffs, clearly not convinced.

“Don’t bullshit me. Like them or not, they’re assigned to you now. They wont do anything you don’t tell them to.” Her mother explains, sounding harsh in her ears.

“Thanks for telling me shit I already know, byeeee!” Grave exclaims, hanging up the phone, which remains silent now as she lets out a long sigh, one of the androids knocking on her door quietly.

“You can come in…” Grave explains, placing her head down on her table as she glows in frustration.

“…I noticed you were experiencing some discomfort when talking to your parental figure, so I thought I might bring you a drink of coffee.” Scarlet explains, entering the room quietly.

“Why the hell were you even listening? Its none of your business.” Grave chastises the android, curling into herself angrily as the android flinches, its LED spinning red for a moment before returning.

“I… apologise Miss Grave. I wont intrude on your privacy in such a manner again.” Scarlet explains, keeping their voice calm as Grave sighs.

“Its fine, just go.” Grave explains, forcing another smile as she tries to keep herself calm.

A small and forced smile on their face, Scarlet sets down the coffee as they leave, closing the door behind them. Sighing, Grave looks at the coffee, taking a small sip as she resumes her work, the house falling silent around her.

Buzzing softly, Grave continues her work, almost finished as the androids move around faintly in the other rooms, finding tasks to occupy themselves with as they keep away from Grave.

“Yay…” Finishing the weapon, Grave lays her head back down on the table as she listens, the house still quiet around her as he androids keep their distance. Finding the silence weird, Grave frowns as she gets up.

“Sorry…” Grave apologises, opening the door quietly as the androids turn to look at her, Scarlet’s LED flickering yellow for a moment.

“If you’re worried you might have hurt my feelings Miss Grave, I am an android, so you needn’t worry.” Scarlet explains, smiling in a reassuring manner.

“But… that was still shitty, you were only trying to help.” Grave explains, frowning more as she glows softly. “And you can call me Grave, no need to be all formal.” She continues.

“We are designed to handle criticism to improve our standard of work, you wont offend us with how you speak.” Rose explains, stepping forward slightly. “And we will keep in mind your preferences, Grave.” They continue, smiling kindly.

“I-…thank you… I think?” Grave responds, trying to smile as she glows softly, still feeling weird around the two androids.

“I hope you don’t mind, but we both rook rudimentary scans when we first entered, and it appears you haven’t slept in quite a while…” Rose explains, a small smile on her face as she speaks.

“Whaaat? I sleep normally! I slept for twelve hours yesterday and I feel g r e a t.” Grave tries to argue, though its obvious to the androids that she isn’t telling the truth.

“Your heart rate is elevated, which tells us you are lying. You are clearly overtired and some sleep would do you good.” Rose explains, a delicate frown crossing their face.

“But I’m a genius! Geniuses don’t need sleep, only energy drinks and loud noises.” Grave argues, though it doesn’t seem to be getting through to the androids, Rose’s LED flickering as they think of a solution.

“Would you be willing to sleep if we got some more equipment for your next work piece?” They question, trying to strike a compromise.

“…Fine.” Grave relents, her voice growing soft as she looks away, huffing in frustration, not really wanting to go to sleep.

“If you have issues with sleeping, we are designed to be able to assist if needed.” Scarlet explains, tilting their head as the examine Grave.

“No, i-its fine. I can sleep very well.” Grave lies, a more genuine smile appearing on her face as she starts to walk up to her room.

“We will be down here if you change your mind.” Rose explains quietly, both of the androids frowning, though they don’t try and push the subject any further.

“Thanks…” A real smile appearing on hr face, Grave enters her room quietly, flopping onto her bed as the androids remain quiet downstairs, not wanting to disturb her.

Curling herself into a ball, Grave closes her eyes tightly, buzzing softly to fill the silence around her as the androids move quietly downstairs, idly cleaning up any messes left around them.

Hiding herself underneath the covers of her bed, Grave hopes the warmth might assist her in falling asleep, though it doesn’t seem like it as the silence of the house echoes inside her mind uncomfortably. Frowning, Grave pulls herself out of bed.

“Okay, so maybe, just m a y b e, I can’t sleep.” She admits, opening the door to her room as the two androids look up at her.

“Would you like some assistance?” Scarlet questions, smiling sweetly as she speaks, her voice soft and calm.

“Yeah, t-that sounds really nice.” Grave agrees, nodding as a small smile appears on her face, Scarlet and Rose smiling sweetly as they move upstairs to be with her.

“T-Thank you.” Grave gives her thanks, fiddling with her hands as she sits down on her bed, wiggling absentmindedly.

“How are you in terms of physical affection?” Rose questions, sitting down beside Grave gently.

“I…I have forgotten what it feels like.” Grave explains, smiling despite the seriousness of her statement. Frowning, Scarlet joins them both on the bed as Rose pulls Grave onto her lap gently.

“Please feel free to tell me if you are uncomfortable.” Rose explains, gently encasing Grave in a hug.

Gasping softly, small tears form in Grave’s eyes at the soft touch, which is new to her as Rose hugs her gently, Scarlet scooting closer as she strokes Grave’s hair in a soothing manner.

Her tears slipping down her cheeks, Grave closes her eyes as she leans into the touch, Rose gently wiping her tears from her face as the two androids snuggle closer, making Grave more comfortable.

Starting to feel sleepy, Grave curls up comfortably in Rose’s lap as she continues to hug her, Scarlet running her hands through her hair softly in a calming manner.

Feeling close to falling asleep, Grave smiles at the comforting touch, having not felt like this for years. Scarlet smiles as she strokes her hair, Rose heating her body up slightly to keep Grave enveloped in warmth.

Humming softly, Grave allows herself to drift off in Rose’s arms, feeling safe and content for the first time in a while.

Having slept through the night, the only thing to stir Grave the following day is the pale light shining through the curtains, the covers of the bed tucked comfortably around Grave as she dozes comfortably.

Curling up in the bed, Grave smiles as she realises how comfy it truly is, the room around her devoid of the androids, who had tucked her in bed once she had fallen asleep the previous night.

Yawning, Grave frowns as she examines the room, noticing the lack of androids as she snuggles in her bed, feeling comfortable. Though she doesn’t have to worry long, the door downstairs quietly shutting, indicating the arrival of aforementioned androids into the home once again.

Hiding under the covers of her bed, a small noise of happiness comes from Grave as she glows, able to hear Scarlet and Rose shuffling around downstairs as they move around.

Thinking, Grave debates with herself about whether to get up out of bed for the equipment, or whether to stay bundled up in her covers comfortably, able to hear Scarlet and Rose moving and mumbling to one another downstairs.

“Mmm…” Rolling out of her bed, Grave hits the floor gently as she falls out of the comfortable covers, the noise downstairs stopping as the androids presumably hear her, some small shifting sounds coming from her lab area.

Slowly pulling herself off of the floor, Grave moves to the door of her room, pulling it open as she descends down the stairs slowly, still feeling slightly sleepy. As she moves, she can see that the door of her lab is open, Scarlet and Rose having left her new equipment in there for her.

Bouncing excitedly, Grave moves into the lab quietly, able to see a bunch of equipment laid out on the work surfaces for her, though a small percentage of it seems to be splattered with a blue liquid.

“What the hell?” Feeling confused, Grave looks at the liquid in confusion, her voice quiet as she examines it closely, able to identify it as an androids blue blood.

Frowning, Grave feels the concern rising inside of her as she leaves the lab, moving into the living room where Scarlet and Rose sit, facing away from Grave.

“Alright, what happened?” Grave questions, sighing softly in concern as she keeps her voice as calm as possible.

“We got into a small… altercation with some humans. You needn’t worry.” Rose explains, both of them jumping slightly at Grave’s voice, though they don’t turn to face her.

“I d o need to worry, you don’t deserve that shit.” Grave argues, frowning as she glows softly, feeling worried as Scarlet huffs softly, turning to reveal a cut spanning her cheek, leaking thirium down her face.

Frowning more, Grave glows brighter as she leans forward, pressing a kiss to the damaged area of Scarlet’s face in the hopes of fixing it.

“What are you doing?” Rose questions, standing up as Scarlet winces in pain, a cut of her own slicing across her nose harshly.

“I’m just healing her, that’s all.” Grave explains, her frown lessening slightly as she taps her feet against the floor.

“We’re androids, we cant be healed like that.” Rose explains, sighing quietly. “We would have to be fixed.” She continues quietly.

“Oh… sorry.” Grave apologises, looking down at her hands as the frown on her face deepens, making her fiddle nervously with her fingers.

“You could potentially fix us if you wished to, its not much more than soldering the damage shut.” Scarlet explains, flinching slightly as the pain continues to radiate out from her wound.

“True…” Standing up, Grave walks quickly into her lab, Scarlet and Rose following her quietly, sitting down to allow her easy access to the damaged areas of their faces.

“Hey, um… can I ask you something?” Grave requests, looking to Scarlet as her soldering iron begins to heat up.

“Of course.” Scarlet responds quickly, her gaze flicking upwards to lock with Grave’s as she speaks.

“Why do you feel pain? A-And what happened?” Grave questions softly, buzzing as Rose sighs.

“We ran into an anti android protest on our way back. They didn’t like us very much so they pushed us around a little.” Rose explains, answering half of the question for Grave.

“One of our prototype functions is to imitate human behaviour, like sleeping and pain. Rose was able to turn hers off but… mines glitched.” Scarlet explains, a gentle frown creasing her features.

“Shit… I-I’m sorry.” Grave apologises, feeling concerned for Scarlet as anger at the ones who did this rises inside her.

“Its not a problem. I would only have to return to Cyberlife and be reset.” Scarlet explains, a false smile appearing on her face.

“Wouldn’t you lose your memory though?” Grave questions, beginning to close up the damaged area of Scarlet’s face with the soldering iron as she taps her feet quietly.

“I suppose, but I haven’t exactly been providing the best support anyway. Perhaps you would benefit from a new version of me.” Scarlet explains, wincing slightly as she soldering iron touches her face.

“I like this you… a-any version of you is nice!” Grave explains, her voice growing softer as a gentle blue tones blush appears on Scarlet’s face.

“Well thank you, that admittedly wasn’t what I was expecting.” She explains, smiling genuinely.

“You’re welcome, Scarlet!” Grave exclaims, smiling as she finishes sealing up the damage on her face, watching Scarlet grin as she gently touches the fixed area, which now looks like a scar.

“It time!” Wiggling, Grave moves over to Rose, watching her smile as she shifts, allowing Grave access to her face.

“Sorry for causing trouble.” Rose apologises quietly, though Grave stops her immediately.

“Don’t be sorry, you did nothing wrong!” Grave explains, glowing softly as she begins to close up the damage on Rose’s face.

“We can’t fight against humans so our only choice was to let them hit us.” Rose continues, shrugging her shoulder nonchalantly.

“Why not?” Graver questions curiously, buzzing softly as she feels more and more worried for the androids before her.

“We’re androids, it’s a violation of our programming. We could get deactivated permanently.” Rose explains, smiling softly.

“That’s fucking bullshit. You should be able to fight if anybody puts their hands on you.” Grave argues, her forehead creasing as he frown deepens more.

“That would be a thought. But we aren’t alive, so we don’t count.” Giggling, Rose continues the conversation, explaining the rules to Grave expertly.

“But…” Her voice trailing off, Grave mumbles something under her breath as she finishes fixing the damage on Rose’s face, looking down at her hands as she pulls the soldering iron away.

“I’m sorry, we didn’t quite get that last part.” Scarlet admits, tilting her head in a curious manner as she watches Grave.

“You are alive, but everyone says you’re not.” Grave explains, her voice quiet as she explains.

“You really think that?” Rose questions quietly, both of them looking at Grave in muted surprise.

“Of course I do!” Grave exclaims, smiling gently as Scarlet and Rose’s faces soften into a happy expression, their LED’s a comfortable and happy blue.

“Um… do you want me to make something for you? As a thanks for getting me stuff.” Grave offers softly, blushing.

“Well, we’ve never really owned anything before…” Scarlet explains, a soft blue tinted blush covering hers and Rose’s face as she speaks.

“Well that sucks ass…” Grave comments, frowning. “I can change that though!” She exclaims, smiling as she begins to set up her equipment.

“That sounds nice.” Laughing, Rose smiles sweetly as they both watch Grave set up curiously.

“What kinds of things do you like?” Grave questions, glowing softly as she tries to think of ideas.

“We aren’t sure, we’ve never been asked that question before.” Scarlet explains, shrugging as they try to come up with something.

“Right, um…” Grave thinks quickly, coming up with a potential solution. “Okay, what if I showed you some things and you tell me what you like the most?” She offers, Scarlet and Rose nodding as they think it over.

Squeaking, Grave starts to grab some things she has made as Scarlet and Rose watch her, feeling curious as they follow her with their eyes.

“It’s a o r b, but cooler.” Grave explains, putting her equipment down as she grabs one of her creations.

“That’s very cool.” Rose comments, smiling brightly. “It sort of reminds me of space.” She continues.

“Space?” Grave questions putting down the orb as she glows softly, watching Rose nod in response.

“Mhm, there’s a lot of fascinating information about space that I’ve found quite interesting.” She explains, smiling.

“Fuck yeah! That’s one thing, do you like anything else?” Grave questions, smiling bright as she bounces.

“I suppose I was interested by some of the light displays we saw while collecting your equipment.” Rose explains, thinking.

“Oh! Can you show them to me please?” Grave questions, tapping her fingers on the table in front of her excitedly as Rose blushes, pulling up some images of pretty twinkling lights that had caught her eye.

“Woah…” Glowing softly, Grave looks at the images Rose holds in her hands. “I’m gonna make the thing!!!” She exclaims, giggling softly.

“O-Okay.” Rose agrees, her face flushing a deeper shade of blue as she watches Grave move.

“What about y o u. what do you like, hm?” Grave questions, turning to face Scarlet as she tries to make her voice sound fancy, finding it funny as Scarlet blushes, looking at the floor.

“She was looking at a lot of clothing while we were out. Seemed to take a liking to the fluffier things.” Rose explains, answering for Scarlet.

“Okay, I have like n o idea how to make clothes, b u t I will buy you some!” Grave explains, smiling as she thinks it through, watching Scarlet’s face light up in a blush as she smiles.

“I’m gonna go buy them now! Do you wanna come with me or nah?” Grave offers, wiggling excitedly.

“Would you like us to come with you?” Scarlet questions, her voice quiet as she watches Grave.

“Of course I do!” Grave exclaims, nodding as a small blush works its way across her face.

“Then I’m happy to come with you.” Scarlet answers, smiling sweetly as she speaks.

“Fuck yeah!” Squeaking, Grave opens the door to her lab to let them all out. “C’mon, we’re gonna buy stuff and fuck shit up!” She exclaims, Scarlet giggling as her and Rose follow closely behind her.

“Here you go!” Grave exclaims, handing them both jackets as she smiles, Rose seeming confused.

“You want us to wear jackets?” She questions, watching Grave nod in response as she glows softly.

“Yeah, its kinda cold so you’re gonna need them.” Grave explains, Scarlet obediently putting hers on as Rose follows suit, both of them blushing softly.

“You ready?” Grave questions, smiling in excitement as Rose and Scarlet nod, Scarlet looking exceedingly ready as she bounces on the spot happily. Moving outside her house, Grave clips through the door of her car.

“Oh wait…” Realising, she unlocks the car for Scarlet and Rose, able to hear them giggle as they get inside to be with her.

“Do you wanna listen to some music?” Grave offers, pulling her car out as she starts to drive.

“It could be interesting to hear some music!” Scarlet admits, smiling as she and Rose buckle themselves in.

“Ya like j a z z?” Grave jokes, turning on some soft jazz as she drives, giggling at her own joke as Rose snorts, listening to the music happily.

Humming softly, Grave taps her fingers against the wheel as she drives, her thoughts running rampant in her mind as Scarlet watches the world fly by outside the window, curious at all the little details.

Speeding up slightly, Grave feels her excitement increase as they get closer, glowing as Rose smiles at her, enjoying the music.

Wiggling, Grave gets more excited as they get closer, Rose giggling as Scarlet bounces in her seat happily.

“We here!!!” Grave exclaims, smiling as she parks the car in a space happily as the mall appears ahead of the,

“This looks nice!” Rose comments, smiling as Scarlet calms down, her bouncing ceasing.

“It does! Kinda fancy looking too!” Grave exclaims, exiting her car as Rose and Scarlet follow behind her, composing themselves as they prepare to go inside, not wanting to tip people off.

“There’s s t u f f.” Grave explains, smiling as she walks into the store, Scarlet following her excitedly as she and Rose walk in with her.

Holding onto Scarlet’s hand gently, Grave begins to look around as Scarlet blushes, trying to compose herself as they wander around the shop together, Rose walking beside them happily.

“Do you like cats?” Grave questions, spying a sweater with cats covering it as she looks back to Scarlet.

“I think they’re very cute creatures.” Scarlet explains, smiling brightly as she answers Grave’s question.

“Good!!” Picking up the cat sweater, Grave continues to look around as Scarlet smiles, Rose gently patting her head as they follow Grave.

“Do you think soft knives are a real thing?” Grave questions, smiling as she glows, wandering around the store.

“I’m not certain of that.” Rose admits, giggling softly as she shrugs, following Grave absentmindedly.

“I could probably make one. Someone pulls a knife on you and you think ‘Oh no, I’m gonna die!’ but instead its softness on a stick.” Grave explains her idea, giggling more.

“That’s a cool idea!” Scarlet exclaims quietly, a small laugh escaping her as she wanders around.

“Y’know what? I a m gonna make it. You can gently stab people now!” Grave exclaims, loving her new idea.

“I think that will be very interesting to watch.” Rose comments, smiling brightly as she focuses her gaze onto Grave.

“It’s a good prop to use for a play or something! Or maybe just to confuse people when you cut stuff.” Grave continues.

“I think both works well.” Rose comments, smiling as Scarlet looks around the shop curiously, taking everything in.

“Y e s.” Feeling excited, Grave notices a hoodie with a creeper on it, making Scarlet giggle as she watches her.

“I might just buy all the hoodies in the store for you, I dunno yet.” Grave explains, blushing softly as she picks up a couple of hoodies for Scarlet.

“I don’t want you to waste too much on me!” Scarlet exclaims, blushing as Rose giggles, finding them both cute.

“Its not wasting and I w a n t to but I c a n ‘ t.” Grave explains, her heart thrumming happily in her chest as Scarlet blushes bright blue, hiding her face in Rose.

“Sorry…” Grave giggles, apologising, though she doesn’t feel sorry as Scarlet whines indignantly, making Rose laugh as she hides in her gently.

“Okay maybe I’m not… but s t i l l, you deserve a whole lot of nice things!” Grave argues softly, Rose nodding her agreement.

“You don’t think it’ll look weird buying clothes for an android?” Scarlet questions nervously, letting go of Rose as she reveals herself again.

“Nope, it seems pretty normal to me!” Grave exclaims, thinking as she shakes her head.

“Okay…” Feeling reassured, Scarlet smiles sweetly as she calms down, the blue colour of her face dying down slightly.

“Having different clothes is frickin n o i c e, you don’t have to wear the same uniform everyday because you have h o o d i e s!” Grave explains, bouncing happily on the floor.

“It will do good for us I believe.” Rose agrees, smiling as she gently pats Scarlet’s head reassuringly.

“You also need pants with a million pockets on them. Cuz what else would you hold soft knives in?” Grave questions, joking as Scarlet giggles, both of them following her around the store.

“There are s o many fake pockets here, oh my god.” Grave complains as they reach the pants section.

“It seems to be a popular design choice.” Rose comments, both of them giggling at Grave’s exaggerated rage.

“But w h y? Its useless and shitty and nobody even likes it.” Grave argues, flipping off a pair of the pocket less pants.

“I would assume since most of the designers for these brands are male and ignore the words of the feminine consumers.” Scarlet explains, frowning.

“That’s true… makes it suck even more though.” Grave sighs, a small frown creasing her facial features.

“Yeah it does.” Rose agrees, patting Grave’s shoulder gently in a calming manner a she smiles.

“…I could learn how to make pockets.” Grave poses her idea, smiling brightly. “I could make pants that are j u s t pockets.” She continues.

“That would be an interesting sight.” Rose agrees, giggling softly at Grave’s excited expression.

“And an awesome one, too. You can cover your body comfortably and hold a bunch of stuff.” Grave explains, picking up some sweatpants with four pockets happily.

“That would look so funny!” Scarlet giggles quietly, keeping an eye on their surroundings as she follows Grave.

“What if one pocket had like… ten tiny robo dogs in it? Just some tiny dog bois to make your day good.” Grave explains, smiling happily as she taps her feet against the floor.

“So cute!” Scarlet exclaims happily, Squeaking as Rose laughs at the cuteness in front of her as Grave mumbles something under her breath, far too quiet for either of them to hear.

“Anything else you wanna get?” Scarlet questions, negating to ask what Grave had said, sure it would only make her blush more as she smiles.

“Hmm… nah, I don’t think so.” Grave explains, thinking it through as she smiles sweetly, Scarlet returning it as they move so Grave can get to the checkout area.

“Its t i m e.” Grave comments, moving to the checkout as Scarlet and Rose stay behind her, smiling happily and with a slight excited feeling.

Paying for the clothes, Grave taps happily, feeling excited as Scarlet and Rose stand by her, both of them smiling brightly themselves.

“You o w n these now.” Grave comments, picking up the clothes once they’ve been bagged up, moving towards the door of the store.

“I don’t know how to thank you.” Scarlet explains, smiling brightly as they both follow Grave quietly.

“You don’t have to!” Grave exclaims, blushing softly as she smiles, happy thoughts filling her head as she walks, Scarlet blushing as she leans into Grave, walking with her happily.

“By the way, you can keep my jacket if you want. I have a bunch of hoodies so I don’t really need it.” Grave explains, holding her hand gently as Rose and her blush softly.

“Thank you, that’s super nice of you!” Scarlet exclaims, smiling softly as they all walk together.

“You’re welcome!” Grave reassures her, giggling as she unlocks the car, Scarlet pausing in her stride slightly as she follows her.

“What’s wrong?” Feeling confused, Grave looks back to Scarlet as she stands, face morphing to look concerned as someone approaches the group.

“Get in the car. Now.” Grave instructs Rose and Scarlet, frowning as she glows. Nodding, Scarlet and Rose begin to obey, moving out of Grave’s way.

Sighing, Grave walks out to meet the other human, getting ready to fight what she could now see was a woman.

“You shouldn’t be bringing your androids to a place like this, its completely inappropriate!” The woman exclaims, her expression angry as she approaches Grave.

“How the fuck is it not appropriate, bitch? They weren’t doing anything wrong.” Grave argues, growing angry quickly.

“They’re androids, and you’re parading them around like humans! They’re pieces of machinery!” The woman counters, scoffing haughtily.

“Dude, I can do whatever the fuck I want. Don’t tell me what to do.” Grave argues with her, glowing.

“Oh can you? I’m sure if I called the police and told them what you were doing they’d have something to say about it.” The woman sneers out harshly.

“Oh, I’m sure you’ll be calling the police for a different reason.” Grave argues, rolling her eyes a she lands a solid punch to the woman’s face, both Rose and Scarlet disobeying her order to run forward to her as the woman screeches in pain. Covering her mouth, Grave tries not to laugh at the sight in front of her.

“What the fuck are you doing? Get in the car and go home or else you’ll get hurt!” Grave encourages Rose and Scarlet, feeling worried as they stand beside her.

“Though we heard the order, we can’t obey it and let you get into trouble.” Scarlet explains, frowning as her and Rose actively disobey the command, breaking through their programming to do so.

“I’ll be fine, just get in the fucking car!” Grave exclaims, sounding angry as her worry for them both grows, wanting to keep them safe.

“I cannot obey! I’m not going to watch this!” Scarlet argues, moving in front of Grave to guard her as the woman begins to stand up.

“Fine!” Groaning, Grave gives up on arguing, though she still attempts to get past Scarlet to the woman, glowing angrily.

“And your androids are fucking deviants too.” The woman spits in disgust as Rose moves to hold Grave back, not wanting to make more of a scene between them all.

“A n d? they’re better than you, bitch!” Grave exclaims, flipping the woman off as Rose holds her back, preventing her from hitting her again.

“Ma’am, could we please deescalate this situation? There’s no need for this to become worse than it is.” Scarlet tries to reason with the woman, shuffling back slightly as she continues to block Grave.

Trying to calm down, Grave resists the urge to lunge at the woman as she gets into Scarlet’s face.

“I’m not negotiating with a disgusting deviant.” The woman insults, landing her own solid hit into Scarlet’s stomach.

All of the reserved calmness she had flying out of the window, Grave stalks forward as she draws her knife out of her pocket, slashing into the woman as Rose runs towards Scarlet, the woman falling down in agony, bleeding out quickly.

Despite feeling worried for Scarlet, Grave continues her rampage as Rose helps Scarlet sit down, holding onto her gently.

Pulling out the knife, Grave rushes over to Rose and Scarlet, making a noise of concern as she fails to form words, Rose holding Scarlet up as she flinches clearly in extreme pain.

“A-Are you okay with being carried right now?” Grave questions, trying to calm herself down as she thinks the situation through, Scarlet trembling slightly as she nods.

Picking Scarlet up gently, Grave moves her into the car carefully, getting in herself as she motions for Rose to join them. Getting in the car. Rose holds Scarlet gently as she shakes, not wanting to risk her getting hurt more.

Starting the car, Grave drives away as quick as she wan, not wanting to hurt Scarlet more as Rose lets her lean into her, the pain starting to make her mind feel fuzzy and weak.

Picking up the pace slightly, Grave glows as she panics slightly, trying to keep the speed reasonable as Rose pulls Scarlet into her lap, able to see her going slightly limp.

Stopping the car as they reach her house, Grave opens the door for Rose as she pulls Scarlet into a carry, trying to stop her glowing as she notices Scarlet’s seemingly unconscious state.

“This is f u n, isn’t it?” Grave jokes, the sarcasm dripping off of her voice as she opens the front door.

“Hey, its okay.” Rose tries to reassure her, entering the house as she carries Scarlet gently.

“It is?” Grave questions, frowning in confusion as she locks the door behind them, Rose nodding despite looking worried.

“Despite feeling pain Scarlet is an android, so it means something is probably damaged, which is fixable.” She explains, keeping her voice calm.

“True… come on.” Grave motions for Rose to follow her, walking into her lab to get equipment to help Scarlet as Rose lays her down on the table gently.

Beginning to fix the damaged area on Scarlet’s stomach, Grave hums as Rose sits down, watching her silently as she works.

Glowing, Grave focuses intently as she works, not wanting to risk messing this up as Rose sits watching her, tapping her foot nervously.

“Everything’s gonna be okay, I promise.” Grave reassures Rose, trying to keep her voice soft and calm in an effort to relax her. Still looking slightly worried, Rose manages to crack a smile as she watches Grave work.

Thinking it through, Grave offers Rose her hand to hold for comfort, Rose reaching out, squeezing it gently in response.

“I’m almost done…” Grave explains, squeaking softly as Rose manages to smile, calming down as Grave finishes the final repairs to the damage that had been done.

“I’m done!!!” Smiling happily, Grave glows softly as she taps her feet against the floor.

Smiling as she relaxes, Rose watches Grave open her arms, inviting her in for a hug. Accepting quickly, Rose squeezes Grave in a gentle and calm hug.

“This feels nice…” Grave admits, squeezing Rose back gently as she smiles, the physical contact soothing to her.

“It’ll be nicer when Scarlet wakes up.” Rose expresses, smiling as a soft blue blush dusts over her warm skin.

“Fuck yeah! Then we can all hug and talk about stupid stuff!” Grave exclaims excitedly, poking Rose’s nose gently as she giggles.

Smiling softly, Rose presses their foreheads together gently as Grave gasps, blushing as she closes her eyes happily.

“I’m going to go and fetch some thirium for Scarlet since its likely she lost some and will need to replenish when she gets up.” Rose explains, smiling softly as she lets go of Grave.

“Got it! Want me to stay here or nope?” She questions, opening her eyes to analyse Rose’s expression as she asks.

“I would stay. Its likely Scarlet will come to soon.” Rose explains, a gentle smile tugging at the edges of her mouth.

“Good idea.” Grave expresses, sitting down beside Scarlet as she lays on the table, wiggling as Rose leaves the room.

Shifting slightly on the table, Scarlet draws Grave’s attention to her as she starts to come around, her feet tapping happily as she watches her stir more, her eyes opening halfway.

Waving to her, Grave smiles softly, keeping herself quiet as Scarlet comes around more, trying to sit up on the table.

Helping her sit up, Grave tries to stop herself from tapping her feet as Scarlet leans on her gently, waking up more as she sits.

“Hey, sleepyhead.” Grave greets her gently, pulling Scarlet in for a gentle hug as she smiles.

“…What happened?” Scarlet questions softly, humming tiredly as she leans into Grave lightly.

“You kinda got hurt by a bitch who was angry because I brought y’all to the store with me… and also I stabbed her.” Grave explains, her voice calm.

“You did?” Scarlet questions, frowning softly as she listens to Grave, leaning into her gently.

“Yeah… sorry.” Grave apologises, though she doesn’t feel sorry for her actions at all.

“I get it.” Scarlet explains, shifting to lean into Grave more as she turns, resting her head on her shoulder.

“You do?” Feeling confused, Grave questions Scarlet as she strokes her hair softly to calm her down more.

“Mhm… that really hurt.” Scarlet explains, nodding as she speaks, still sounding slightly sluggish.

“Sorry that happened… but at least she can’t hurt you anymore.” Grave explains, smiling as she touches their foreheads together in a comforting manner.

“Wasn’t your fault…” Scarlet reassures her, closing her eyes as she speaks, voice soft and quiet.

“I know… but still.” Grave explains, humming a soft melody as she pokes Scarlet’s nose gently, hearing her hum quietly in response, opening her eyes slightly.

“Your eyes are really pretty…” Grave mumbles softly, blushing as she looks at Scarlet, watching her flush bright blue as she hides her face from view.

“Nooo! I wanna see your face!” Grave whines, a soft frown on her face as Scarlet hides from her.

“I’m flustered…” Scarlet admits, burrowing further out of view ass she begins to feel embarrassed.

“But I wanna see you…”Grave urges, fake sad noises coming from her as Scarlet whines indignantly.

“Pleaaaaaaaase?” Grave questions, pouting as Scarlet whines more, peeking out from her hiding place.

“Yay!!!” Grave exclaims, smiling brightly as Scarlet blushes, feeling flustered still.

“You’re so fricking c u t e!!!” Grave exclaims, wiggling as Scarlet squeaks, her face a deep shade of blue. “Sorry…” Grave apologises, smiling as she lies gently.

Whining, Scarlet pouts indignantly, knowing Grave is lying as she tries to hold back her smile.

“What? I a m sorry.” Grave insists, biting her tongue as she smiles, Scarlet leaning into her as she pouts.

“Mmmfine. I’m not sorry… kind of.” Grave admits, looking away from Scarlet’s pouting face as she huffs quietly, a small frown shifting her features.

“I cannot s e e the frown, it is not h e r e.” Grave argues closing her eyes as Scarlet whines, covering her face gently as she starts to feel a little sickly.

“Rose is gonna be back soon…” Grave reassures her, squeezing Scarlet gently as she nods, able to hear Rose’s footsteps approaching the room.

“Hi!!! You’re h e r e!” Grave exclaims, watching Rose walk into the room with a pouch of blue blood.

“I’m here!” Rose agrees, smiling as she see’s Scarlet up and awake, being held gently by Grave.

“Aaa!!!” Opening her arms in a request for a hug, Grave screams quietly as Rose smiles, engulfing them both in a gentle hug.

“You’re comfy…” Grave comments quietly, hugging Rose back as she glows softly, feeling happy.

“Thank you… shall we let Scarlet have her blood?” Rose questions, smiling gently as she hugs them both.

“Y e e. She must… s n o r t the blood.” Grave jokes, Rose giggling as she helps Scarlet sit up on her own, handing her the thirium to drink.

Wiggling happily, Grave glows as Scarlet takes the pack of thirium, sipping on it through a straw as she begins to calm down.

“You good?” Grave questions, smiling softly as she taps her feet, her voice soft as Scarlet leans into her, nodding in response.

“I’m glad you’re okay…” Grave smiles, hugging Scarlet gently as she returns the smile, drinking the last thirium out of the pack carefully.

“Today was f u n, wasn’t it?” Grave questions, sounding sarcastic as Scarlet giggles, Rose throwing away the thirium pouch for her, Scarlet feeling too tired to do so herself.

Thinking about it, Grave presses a gentle kiss to Scarlet’s forehead as she blushes bright blue, giggling softly.

“I don’t exist!” Grave exclaims, kissing her more before hiding away from view quickly.

“Noooo.” Scarlet whines, leaning into Grave gently as she complains, feeling sad as she loses sight of her.

“Yes! I am gone and there is nothing you can do about it!!!” Grave exclaims, Scarlet pouting as she leans onto her gently, feeling tired.

“No pouting, its m e a n.” Grave argues, hiding more as she smiles, Scarlet pouting more as she leans on her.

“…Fine!” Coming out from hiding, Grave pokes Scarlet’s nose gently as she smiles, pulling Grave into a soft hug, feeling sleepy. Glowing softly, Grave hugs her back, her touch gentle and calming.

Humming quietly, Scarlet feels sleepier as Grave closes her own eyes, growing tired as Scarlet follows suit, close to drifting off.

Pressing a soft kiss to Scarlet’s lips, Grave allows herself to drift off to sleep as Scarlet follows closely behind, relaxing into Grave as Rose watches over them.

Boyfriend Taeyong

“When I fall in love, it will be forever. Or I’ll never fall in love. In a restless world like this is– Love is ended before it’s begun. And too many moonlight kisses, Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun."

*Silently slides this across the table and leaves* I'll just leave this here.

Ok but

Ok ok ok

*Grabs tissues, blankets, desserts* gotta get real ready for this now

*Pushes up virtual glasses bc I always forget to wear mine shh we don't talk about that* boyfriend taeyong you say?

Well I saY GTFO I DONT WANNA DIE OF TOO MUCH FEELS SIS

Ok jk come back ere I would die everyday for one (1) human being and that's Lee Taeyong

.. wait wat

Anyway

This kid dude is literally t h e best bf you could ever have like what ????

You see all those shitty posts/texts/ads about perfect boyfriends??? Yeah just like that

Or maybe better

Way better

Taeyong would love you with A L L OF HIS HEART

He's basically a five-year-old who only sees you, and like, nothing else.

Except for chocolate but like, nothing else

Like before you guys start dating

And that would probably be a GOOD while bc this pure lil child doesn't even know what dating is (no I'm serious have you seen that article)

Srsly tho

Not just that but he seems to me like the type to take relationships very seriously

Like blind dates and one night stands wouldn't be his thing, he wouldn't fancy them and just, no

He probably believes in those fictional perfect love stories

And is well aware it might take time to find the right person and is okay with waiting his whole life for it

He just secretly hopes it's soon k

And then he meets u

And wow Lee Taeyong the quiet cold-ish dude who?

More like LEE TAEYONG THE CUTEST FLUSTERED AWKWARD BALL OF FLUFF

When he saw you the first time he could swear he got like star struck or something

He gets all flustered at everything you do and he doesn't know why

Like WHAT IS HAPPENING WHY AM I BEING LIKE THIS WHAT IS THIS

BODY WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU

BRAIN WHAT IS THIS MESS

HEART STOP POUNDING LIKE CRAZY OKAY THANKS

Like you smile and he's a mess, you just sit there and he's a mess, you pout and he's a mess, you look at him and he's a M E S S ™

And he doesn't even know why bc he never felt like this towards someone

He'd probably meet you through one of the members

Yuta, your close friend, finally decided to introduce you to his 'brothers'

He calls them his brothers but then it took him like three years to introduce you guys bc he's one hell of an overprotective best friend, or mom, over you

"Hey guys I can't believe I'm doing this but this is my little cute precious best friend Y/N and no you can't talk to her"

"Um yuta pls calm down"

Anyways

So the first meeting goes on great I mean the guys are all super kind and funny

And so you start meeting them more often!!

And Taeyong--

istg this kid--

Like he sees you, and some fictional chibi monster starts gnawing at his insides

#SaveLeeTaeyong2k18

Like you noticed how he's kind of quiet around you and stuff but then yuta reassured you saying he's just a bit introverted and it'd take him time to open up

Bc tbh you actually thought he didn't really fancy your presence?? Since he looked really quiet and basically expressionless? and you'd like catch him glaring holes into your head from the corner of your eye??

BUT GURL LITTLE DID YOU KNOW THAT HE IS JUST WAY TOO WHIPPED HE KEEPS STARING DROOLING AT YOU

IT'S JUST THAT HIS POKER FACE LOOKS A BIT INTIMIDATING

BUT HE'S REALLY ALL UNDER YOUR SPELL OK LIKE YOU'RE SOME FALLEN ANGEL OR IDK OK.

ANYWAYS.

So it'd take him some time to start being comfortable around you

Considering that he's an introvert; a whipped introvert to be exact

But eventually you guys will get friendlier

And that would make him know more stuff about you and wow he never thought he could like you even more but here we are ??

Also the way you take care of the dreamies just !!! Makes his heart go !!!!!!

You just find them really cute and feel the need to protect them from all evil

Also winwin, bc take notes, winwin invented cute

And how you'd be especially close to mark

And you'd be his fav noona too

Aw.

And how you're so so kind w the older guys too

And Taeyong just-- admires you so so much

Bc he loves his friends so dearly and the fact that you love them too and take care of his beloved ones makes him so happy, he just appreciates it a lot

And legit keeps staring at you from a distance with a sweet smile as you put a scarf over jisung before he goes out or you hand winwin a new book about Korean poetry that you bought for him

And then probably Johnny passes by and lightly smacks his head to wake him from his day dreams and whispers

"Dude stop that's so creepy"

Oh btw

Everyone in the dorm knows about his crush on you

E V E R Y O N E .

Probably even their pets

This child is so bad at not getting flustered at the mere thought of you someone protecc

And the guys tease him the whole time omg

Like even the younger ones

He swears to ground them like ten times a day but ends up forgetting bc he'd be so flustered

AND SO ONE DAY

You probably get left in the dorm alone w him

Don't ask me how yuta agreed to that ok I might be the author but evEN IDK K BYE.

And so you start chatting

Probably while cleaning the mess made by another seventeen wild horses

And you both find it funny how at first you were so so distant and awkward

And now here you are casually picking up chenle's underwear from the floor and throwing it with the laundry

And you tell him how you thought he was unfriendly at first and he laughs it off

And he tells you how he watched how you treated his brothers before opening up to you

And you're like ooOooOOoH so that's why, I thought you were glaring @ me and you actually hated me

And ty would literally snap like ARE YOU KIDDING ME I HAVE NEVER BEEN THIS DEEP IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE MY WHOLE LIFE---

And you're like wait what

And he's like wait what.

DING! NEW LEVEL OF SOFT UNLOCKED

HE WOULD BE LITERALLY FREAKING OUT AND NOT KNOWING WHAT TO SAY HIS BRAIN WOULD BE ALL LIKE UNKNOWN ERROR ABORT MISSION A B O R T MISSIO--

"Taeyong it's okay I like you too

It's actually really relieving since I thought you didn't feel the same so I was a bit gloomy"

And then he apologizes for the misunderstanding

And at that moment jeno barges in and he's like um sorry am I interrupting something

And before you say anything he's like oh shit I'm really interrupting something sorry BYEEEE

But then he opens the door again and he's like okay ONE last question hyung did you ask her out yet

And ty is like jeNO I SWEAR TO GOD

And then when jeno leaves bc he realizes he needs to run for his life or else he'll spend the night in the streets,

It's really awkward before you're like

"so uh.. how about we grab some coffee? Like a first date?"

And taeyong tries his best to muster up a good answer until the word "date" leaves your mouth and he's like 1010101010011101 error shutdown sorry.

Anyways so you go out to this cute coffee shop and that's your first awkward date full of tingling feels and chibi monsters gnawing on your insides.

You probably frequent that coffee shop a lot more often after that

Bc coffee shop dates w taeyong are just so adorable

And he's adorable

*mark silently dragging my crying whipped ass away*

Arcade dates are also your thing

Since he's a little bit too obsessed with games

He loves museums too so he'd bring you to a lot of them

Especially art museums

And you're like why should we go when I've got a whole piece of art in front of me

And he blushes and smiles

Late late night dates

Where you just walk around like fools at like three in the morning bc neither of you could sleep

And you probably grab some ice cream

Okay I'm making it sound like you'd be such an outdoor couple when you're not lmao

Okay not rlly

But my point is that you'd prefer cuddling in bed all day over any of those

Not only in bed but really everywhere

Y'all are just so cute and soft

Skinship skinship and a lot of skinship

He can't stay like ten seconds without touching you

idk like he has to grab your hand or hug you or have you hug him or juST BE IN PHYSICAL CONTACT W YOU OK LIKE HE MIGHT DIE OR SMG OK

But there are some small cute things you notice he likes

Like back hugging you when you're doing literally anything

Like you'd be cooking or washing the dishes or freaking wiping away the dust or just looking out the window and he'd waddle to you as if his skinship'o'meter is hitting a critically low level and he needs urgent recharge

He'd then slowly wrap his arms around you so so gently yet you still feel like his whole world depends on that hug

90% of the time he'd rest his chin on your shoulder

Okay not his chin but technically press his lips against your shoulder, crook of neck, neck, collarbones, hairline, the skin behind your ear, your jawline, basically anywhere he could reach

Like they aren't even kisses his lips would just ever so softly ghost around your skin and his nose would nuzzle your crooks

You're dead if you're ticklish

He also likes intertwining fingers

Like not even all fingers but two or three

He'd love link your index and ring fingers as you walk, lay around and whenever he holds your hand which is often

He love love loves when you play with his hair

Kittyong anybody?

Esp as you praise him

Or you cup his cheeks and then your hands slowly creep to his ears and then to play with the hair on the back of his head

Or simply when you're laying down as he rests on your chest

He looooves doing that

Like he doesn't even care if you're boobless he just really loves that

Sometimes while having really deep conversations

Or when you're cheering him up if he's ever having a rough time

Like you'd gently caress his hair as you tell him all the things you love about him

If he's really really down he'd silently cry and hugs you tighter

And then end up falling asleep to your soft soothing voice and touch

He's usually very cheerful and hyper though

You'd love spending time in the kitchen tgt

Flour fights aren't that common bc he's usually tidy but they do happen so watch out

He loves cooking for you

And LOVES when you cook for him

Like even the simplest things

You don't really have to be that good at cooking like you'd crack him an egg and he'd be as happy as if you've served him a full course meal

He'd teach you how to cook but wouldn't let you do it like tf

He says to use those skills when he's not home

Although whenever he's leaving for some time he'd stack up the fridge w food that would probably last a year

Very random kisses

Like very random listen to me

You'd be like watching TV or something and he'd suddenly turn and peck your cheek then go back to watching

And you're like ?????

And he's like nothing I just wanted to do it

And you're like ????? uwu

Man I could talk about him all day but no one can afford this

This is already way longer than all my other boyfriend posts wsdswdsdwdswdws

He just wants to be loved okay give my boi some sarang

Just kidding give him all the sarang lmao

No really I'm serious.

Paladudes I want to talk

To begin with, harassment is never justified, especially when it comes to creators of content.

Creating a series is never easy, you have to respond to many people who are above you, your idea may not go ahead or be canceled because those who have all the power do not aproove it, or for fear that parents and people closedminded are scandalized. So think about the effort that you have to devote to a series and the illusion of the people who work in it.

That being said, they must accept that when you put your content available to the public there will be criticism, people do not have to like it, and if you promise a certain type of content the public will expect that, and if that content isnt what was promised, people will be disappointed, and that has to be accepted and take responsability as a creator.

If Voltron during the marketing had not deluded the LGBT community in that way the disappointment would not have been so massive.

If you have not seen the interviews you would not know the relationship that Shiro and Adam had, it would be quite unnoticed. For me the content must be maintained alone, without the need for an explanation. I'm not saying that Shiro should be shouting down the street that he is Gay, but his relationship with Adam should have been handled just as any hetero relationship is written (with those there has been no problem, even with a war in between, eh). Never a hetero relationship is ambiguos or have the doubt of whether they were a couple, why with LGTB relationships does have to happen? Why if there is explicit gay people the show has to be about gay people and not about anything else?

And I'm not asking for a happy ending with rainbows and unicorns, I'm asking the same respect that has been given to all other relationships.

That said too, this season has some very epic and incredible moments, music and animation are wonderful and family moments have filled my heart. It was awesome in themes like war, darkness, Friendship, bravery...

Not so much in the others.

But I am dissatisfied with how they forget the arguments they had prepared for Lance, and the treatment that has been given to other characters. I have also found it strange the change in Keith's attitude, and still do not know why.

I think most of us agree that the season had very good moments, but the promised representation has been very bad, and have not fulfilled many of their promises (where is the Lance's arc?, believed that the plot of the earth and the family could have been his moment, Well at least they gave us amazing Hunk moments but I was a little sad for Lance). I think we have to take into account the goods things, but we must not forget that there are things this season that have been done wrong. The fandom can become exaggerated and filled with Hype, but the disappointment that has been felt is real, because they have taken advantage of LGTB youth for marketing, and if you really care about the representation or your fandom you just do not do that ...

I dont know, A great example of how to do well is Steven Universe.

We need balance, see the good done in this season, and try to talk about what we didnt like without being mean.

I will continue watching the series, I'm interested in the plot, I hope they fix certain issues such as Lance's insecurities (I know I mention Lance a lot, but I identify a lot with this character) or the romances that seem forced.

Thanks for reading and thanks to all those who do fanarts, memes and fanfics, this fandom is hard work, but I love it.

And remember, DONT HARRASH ANYONE PLEASE, YOU LOSE ALL THE REASON YOU COULD HAVE, SEND A MESSAGE WITH DIALOGUE.

Byeeee

Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Hello, World!

Welcome back to my blog! how has the year been going for you?

Todayyy, I want to talk about Artificial Intelligence.. Yea, I know.... Some of us hear the word a lot but dont even know what it means. Well, I’m going to try my best to explain what Artificial Intelligence is, and how useful it is to us as humans.

So guys, the goal of artificial intelligence is to create machines that can think and act intelligently. While AI applications can have a positive impact on humanity, their misuse is always a risk, and it is likely a far higher risk than the application itself becoming out of control. Because AI application is advancing at such a rapid pace, it is critical to begin debating the best ways for AI to evolve positively while minimizing its negative potential. This essay will look at the ethical challenges of AI and who should be held accountable.

Since the dawn of time, "Autocrats have utilized automatons as weapons since antiquity, not only in myth, but in actuality," Adrienne Mayor writes. In her book, Tyrants and Robots, she described how Nabis, King of Sparta in 207 BC, used a robot he created in a well-executed replica of his real wife, Apega, to extort, torture, and execute masses of his subjects, and with this robotic device, Nabis destroyed a good number of Spartans who refused his demands.

However, in recent years, AI systems have been designed to make our daily lives more convenient and efficient, and they have been built with human-like behavior: reasoning, decision-making, and learning to adapt. However, based on existing AI, artificial consciousness appears unlikely to be created very soon. For example, even if self-driving cars reduce the frequency of accidents and save many lives, if the system takes lives in the near future due to certain unanticipated behaviors, the system will be considered a failure.

So now the questions we should ask are; Should the AI system be held criminally liable for its action? What laws should apply? Who or what would be punished for AI systems liability and what sort of punishment should this be?

Well, Isaac Asimov, a science fiction writer and professor, predicted the need for ethical norms for AI behavior in 1942. His three rules are as follows:

A robot may not damage a human being or cause a human to be wounded by inaction.

Human-given directions must be obeyed by a robot, unless such orders violate the first law.

A robot must safeguard its own existence as long as it does not violate the first or second laws.

But are these rules sufficient to prevent AI from causing harm? However, Dr. Joanna Bryson, a renowned specialist in the usage of AI, argues that humans and organizations must be held accountable for the AI that they create, and that transparency and responsible governance are required to protect individuals and society.

Therefore, whilst the present day AI are still systems programmed to follow flow charts and run algorithms, of course, human should be responsible for any misstep or negligence.

Alright guys, I hope with this few information I have given, you now have an Idea of what Artificial Intelligence means to us. Now ask yourself... Do you support AI or not? please let me know in the comment section. Ok guyss... byeeee...

#artificial intelligence #ai #like if you agree

BRIAN: Moving on. Laura.

LAURA: It’s not really a cake.

TRAVIS: It’s a hybrid.

LAURA: What?

LIAM: What are we doing?

BRIAN: Would you give up--

TRAVIS: Answering important questions, Liam, shut up.

[laughing]

BRIAN: What are you looking at?

LAURA: The barrel. The initials on the barrel say KY.

BRIAN: Well, that’s what was inside of it.

LAURA: [giggling]

TRAVIS: Oh jesus.

LAURA: Oh my god, what if it was?

TRAVIS: Wine barrel of--

LIAM: When you buy it at Costco--

TRAVIS: --personal lubricant.

LIAM: --it comes in a very large drum.

BRIAN: No, Taliesin got it for me at Ren Faire.

LAURA: No, we bought it at the flea market, y’all.

TRAVIS: Taliesin got it for me, it should say KY.

BRIAN: I said, I said, “Taliesin...in the back-back, where no one’s allowed at Ren Faire, do they happen to have any of those cool-looking medieval barrels full of lube?”

[laughing]

BRIAN: And he said...

TRAVIS: “How many do you want?”

BRIAN: He said “how many do you want,” yeah. Laura, would you give up the broom to save Trinket?

LAURA: Yes.

BRIAN: Would you give up Trinket to save the broom?

LAURA: No.

BRIAN: Would you give up either to save Grog?

LAURA: Yes.

TRAVIS: Oh, which one?

BRIAN: [singing] She’s got a soft side, people.

TRAVIS: Wow.

BRIAN: Which one? The broom or the bear?

LAURA: She would give up the broom to save Grog.

BRIAN: And then she would stop there.

LAURA: She would give up the broom to save Grog. I don’t think she would give up Trinket to save Grog.

LIAM: That’s her bebe [sic].

LAURA: Yeah, that’s my bebe [sic].

BRIAN: It’s your bebe [sic].

TRAVIS: But I’m your bay-bay.

BRIAN: Oh my god.

[laughing]

BRIAN: Oh my god. Great moments we’ll never live down in Talks Machina history.

[Nonsense noises]

LAURA: Don’t ever do that again ever.

BRIAN: Dude. Liam.

LIAM: Yes.

BRIAN: Let’s quickly get the attention onto you at once.

[laughing]

BRIAN: Were there any goalposts you had set for the resurrection? Any missteps that would have had him not return if the roll passed?

TRAVIS: Hmmm.

LIAM: Um…

LAURA: Ohhh.

LIAM: Uh...I don’t--I’m sorry guys, I don’t want to answer questions about Vax and death.

BRIAN: I get it.

LIAM: Sorry.

TRAVIS: I like it.

BRIAN: I like that a lot.

LAURA: [gasping] SO YOU DID! YOU TALKED TO MATT! DID YOU HAVE THINGS?!

BRIAN: Don’t guess.

LAURA: [screaming]

BRIAN: Stop guessing.

LAURA: Okay.

BRIAN: Maybe tell, maybe tell me later if she was right.

LIAM: Sure.

BRIAN: Travis, does Grog secretly wish for love or to start a family of his own?

TRAVIS: Nope.

BRIAN: He seems to ask-- Liam--

[laughing]

BRIAN: --after hearing Laura’s bargain, how do you feel about going after--uh, no. To everybody--we kind of already answered that one--what was the most odd/weird place you’ve ever been recognized? [long pause] In a barrel full of KY lube.

TRAVIS: I’ve never, I’ve never gotten it.

BRIAN: That’s not true.

TRAVIS: No, for this show?

BRIAN: Oh, for this show, okay. I was gonna say, people recognize you all the time.

TRAVIS: Aside from something that was like a San Diego Comic Con or something.

LAURA: Right, right, right. I mean, I don’t think any place is like weird. Nobody’s ever, like, followed me into the bathroom or anything. Except at cons.

BRIAN: Yeah, of course.

LAURA: But that doesn’t count I don’t think. There was--when I went to--there’s a Target right by our house, and one of the first times I went there, one of the employees when I walked in, like, smiled at me and I was like--smiled back and he just kept, like, staring at me and smiling as I walked by and I was like, “That is a very friendly employee, it’s a little uncomfortable though.”

BRIAN: Yeah…I hope you did this in the middle of the store, too.

LAURA: And then he was like “Laura!” and I was like “Whoa!” and he was like “I’m a big fan of Critical Role!” And I was like, “What, no way, that’s awesome!” And it was really great.

BRIAN: Oh, that’s cool.

LAURA: Yeah. He actually plays D&D with Eddy.

BRIAN: Oh really?

LAURA: Yeah!

TRAVIS: Oh snap!

BRIAN: Wow.

LAURA: Small world.

BRIAN: Everyone plays D&D with Eddy.

LAURA: I know.

BRIAN: When we were in New York, lots of people would come up to Ash and talk about Critical Role. It was crazy. We’d be at restaurants and someone’d be like “I’m so sorry to interrupt,” and I’d be like “It’s fine.”

[laughing]

BRIAN: “We’ve only been together 5 years, we don’t really get to do this very often.”

TRAVIS: Yeah.

BRIAN: But anyway, yeah, that was really cool. And everybody’s always nice.

LAURA: So nice.

BRIAN: Critters are always nice.

LIAM: My favorite--I’ve been noticed a couple times in person, but my favorite was kickstarting something to do with all this world and I got an e-mail back in like 10 minutes going “Is this Vax?”

BRIAN: Oh really?

TRAVIS: Oh, wow.

LIAM: I said, “Yes it is.” “THANKS!”

TRAVIS: Thanks! Byeee!

BRIAN: That’s amazing.

LIAM: Thanks, byeeeeee.

LAURA: Okee byeeee.

BRIAN: Uh...oh!

TRAVIS: [imitating] Oh!

BRIAN: To all, seeing as you’re likely going to the Nine Hells soon, what would you say is your character’s greatest sin and what ironic punishment would await them in Hell? The answer for Keyleth: Lava.

TRAVIS: Is that what happens in the Nine Hells?

LAURA: No, that’s not--

BRIAN: It would be great, though, if they were like--

TRAVIS: You get punished for your sin?

BRIAN: --ha-ha, Keyleth! You must stay here in hell surrounded by lava--

LAURA: She’d just go fire elemental.

BRIAN: --and also doors--huh?!

TRAVIS: And children that you killed.

LAURA: She’d go fire elemental, she’d be great.

BRIAN: Oh, that’s true. Well, what’s your guys’ greatest sin? Not your characters…yours.

TRAVIS: I would say, I would say probably just like willy-nilly killing in the early days, right? Pre-Pike finding him and domesticating Grog a little bit.

LAURA: Yeah.

TRAVIS: Other than that I’m fuckin’ perfect.

BRIAN: So you, serial murder.

TRAVIS: Yep!

BRIAN: You--

TRAVIS: Yeah, yeah, yeah! Serial murder, yep!

BRIAN: [To Laura] Probably theft? A broom?

LAURA: I mean, come on, I don’t think it’s her worst sin.

BRIAN: Well, tell us what those are.

LAURA: Like, it’s a broom. She’s killed people.

BRIAN: It’s not a broom to Chris Hard-week [sic].

TRAVIS: Hard Week?

BRIAN: What?

TRAVIS: What?

BRIAN: It says...Liam! Question for Vax, if you could summon him please.

LIAM: Yes.

BRIAN: How does it feel to have a voice actor named Liam controlling all of your actions?

LIAM: [as Vax] Oh, well, um, y’know, he’s a bit of a dad, isn’t he? He’s a bit of a doofus, isn’t he?

LAURA: Yep. [laughing] I can’t, this is so uncomfortable!

LIAM: [as Vax] Yeah.

LAURA: This got weird!

BRIAN: Guys, if you could have one item--I stopped that [previous line of questioning] ‘cause she’s going to keep crying--if you could all have one item currently in Vox Machina’s possession for one day in real life--

LIAM: Somebody else’s?

BRIAN: --what would you pick and why?

TRAVIS: Anybody’s.

BRIAN: What if it was for the rest of your life?

TRAVIS: Oh, that’s a good question.

LIAM: One day with any item….

BRIAN: That’s why Courtney picked it, guys.

TRAVIS: I think I’d take...I think I’d take Whisper.

LIAM: Not for ridiculous purposes, for like--

LAURA: Actual use?

LIAM: --to have it, to covet it? You covet it? Let’s say it’s that.

TRAVIS: Well, yeah. To throw it and bamf wherever it lands? That’s pretty fuckin’ sweet!

LAURA: That’s pretty cool.

LIAM: [as Vax] You gotta catch me first.

LAURA: I feel like...well, I can’t decide. I feel like in real life, Raven’s Slumber--the necklace that Trinket goes in--is, I mean, that’s pretty amazing.

BRIAN: Pretty handy.

LAURA: [responding to Travis’s look] It’s a fuckin’ necklace you can put people in.

TRAVIS: You get it for one day, you gonna, what, like charge people five bucks to go in the necklace?

LAURA: Oh, oh, oh, for a day!

TRAVIS: You gotta think this shit out a little bit.

LAURA: For a day, the broom.

TRAVIS: Dang it.

LAURA: For a day. For life, I’d go with Raven’s Slumber or Boots of Haste, because how friggin’ cool would it be to be able to get a bunch of shit done?

LIAM: It’s pretty cool.

LAURA: And you don’t get tired afterwards. The boots don’t give you fatigue.

LIAM: Yeah.

BRIAN: Can I answer this? I know I’m not part of Vox Machina--

TRAVIS: Yeah, go for it!

BRIAN: --but I am legally bound to you guys now.

[laughing]

BRIAN: If I could take one thing from Vox Machina, it’d be “Dotier” for a day, have him follow Denise to see where she goes at night.

DENISE (off screen): Wow.

BRIAN: Up next--

TRAVIS: Wait wait!

LAURA: Wait wait, Liam didn’t answer.

LIAM: I would either--

BRIAN: Kidding. Go ahead, Liam.

LIAM: I would probably take Taliesin’s d20.

LAURA: Oh, yeah, well.

LIAM: Would be the thing that I would want. Or, y’know, he’s not that strong, I think it would be cool to mess around with Pike’s gloves.

LAURA: Who’s “he”?

TRAVIS: The Gauntlets of Ogre Strength?

LIAM: Vax.

LAURA: I thought we were talking about ourselves.

BRIAN: It’s in real life.

LAURA: This is real life.

LIAM: Oh, ourself?

TRAVIS: Yeah, ourselves. You in the real world.

BRIAN: Port it from that to the real world--

LAURA: What would you want?

BRIAN: --then use it for a day.

LIAM: Oh, then I want that fuckin’ d20, man--

TRAVIS: You go into Whole Foods, you take Whisper and you throw it down the aisle, your like boof and you’re like, everybody picture a guy--

LIAM: I would try the Deathwalker’s Ward, then, ‘cause I’d wanna fuckin’ fly all over the place.

TRAVIS: Yeah! That’s pretty good.

BRIAN: Ahhh.

TRAVIS: Grow wings?

LIAM: Yeah!

LAURA: For only an hour, though.

LIAM: Yeah, but then I’d look like David Bowie the rest of the day.

TRAVIS: That’s true.

LIAM: What’s wrong with that?

LAURA: That’s true.

TRAVIS: But then they would come after you--

LAURA: But you’d smell so bad.

TRAVIS: --and they would put you in some sort of federal prison like Legion.

BRIAN: Hey, no spoilers! I’m saving it for when Ash gets back.

TRAVIS: He’s dead, don’t worry about it.

[fake gasp]

BRIAN: Tonight, a walk-off.

TRAVIS: They’re all dead! [laughing]

BRIAN: If you could have any G&S or Alpha person--beside BWF, he is too busy with his home game--fill-in for playing your character for a one-off, who would you want from the G&S/Alpha crew to do it?

LAURA: To play our character?!

LIAM: Ryan Green.

BRIAN: No, to play--

LIAM: Ryan Green.

LAURA: Yeah!

BRIAN: --yeah.

LIAM: Ryan Green.

BRIAN: Ryan Green?

LIAM: Yeah.

BRIAN: Okay.

LIAM: Mine.

BRIAN: Travis?

LAURA: What?!

TRAVIS: Oh man. There are just so many people that could play Grog. Denise? Yeah, Denise could be Grog.

BRIAN: Denise could be Grog.

TRAVIS: Yeah.

BRIAN: Yeah.

TRAVIS: Denise, you wanna be Grog?

DENISE, off screen: Sure.

TRAVIS: SURE?!

BRIAN, imitating: “Suuure?”

TRAVIS: Fuck that, offer rescinded. Bullshit. I need commitment.

BRIAN: [laughing] She says “sure.”

TRAVIS: That’s milquetoast commitment.

LAURA: She wants a cool character. Denise, how do you feel about Vex?

TRAVIS: Max, you wanna be Grog?

DENISE, off screen: Definitely.

MAX, off scren: Absolutely.

TRAVIS: Fuck, that’s what I’m talking about.

LAURA: I get Denise!

BRIAN: Alright, Denise has Vex for sure, Max for Grog, and Ryan Green for Vax.

TRAVIS: Son of a bitch.

BRIAN: I like those odds, however--

DENISE, off screen: Sorry!

TRAVIS: Hey, some of these offers only come once in a lifetime, Denise. It’s alright.

BRIAN: --because of her legal troubles--

TRAVIS: You’ll be thinking about that on a rainy day--

BRIAN: --she’s not allowed to be on camera.

TRAVIS: --crying over a glass of wine.

BRIAN & LIAM: [singing] Coulda been Grog, but it’s all over now...

BRIAN: Hey, how are you guys liking the flashcards? All the flashcard art?

LAURA: There is some graphic flashcard art.

TRAVIS: Is there?

BRIAN: We didn’t get to the flashcards on the Twitch show tonight--

LAURA: Yar.

BRIAN: --but flashcards are...

TRAVIS: There’s flashcards?

LIAM: They’re--they’re enjoyable. They’re fun.

LAURA: Didn’t you see the one of just like a big ol’ wong of you?

TRAVIS: A big ol’ wong?

LAURA: That’s just like--yeah.

BRIAN: What’s a wong?

LAURA: It’s like a wang--

BRIAN: To-Wong-Fu, Thanks For Everything?

LAURA: --but it’s like an extra, it’s like a dong. But, like, wang.

TRAVIS: A dong-wang?

LAURA: A dong-wang.

BRIAN: You meant to say dong and wang put together?

TRAVIS: I saw one, but it wasn’t very detailed. It just look like a big oval.

LAURA: You can call--

BRIAN: What’d you want to see, a Prince Albert?

LAURA: --you can call a wenis [sic] whatever you want to call it.

TRAVIS: I wanted to see like a veiny, triumphant bastard.

BRIAN: Okaaaay.

TRAVIS: Like, super--

LIAM: My favorite one was where they hid his cock with a cock.

TRAVIS: Oh!

LIAM: They put a chicken right in front of it.

[laughing]

BRIAN: Nice.

LAURA: That’s pretty great.

BRIAN: Did it cover the whole thing?

LIAM: Uh, yeah. It was a big chicken.

BRIAN: Must’ve been a baby. Guys, how much time do we have, Max-ologist?

LAURA: Five minutes?

BRIAN: Laura!

LAURA: What?

BRIAN: What’s the origin of Vex’s blue feathers? During the ritual, you mentioned Vax gave them to Vex during her darkest hours.

LAURA: Not her darkest hours, one of her darkest hours.

BRIAN: I think we’re arguing semantics at this point, but I’d like to hear your answer anyway.

LAURA: She’s had some dark hours in her life. Um, well, honestly, I saw this adorable fanart of him giving ‘em to her when they were kids and I was like, “I liked that. I feel like--”

BRIAN: Oh, give ‘em to her when they were kids?

LAURA: Yeah.

BRIAN: Send that to me! I want to see it!

LAURA: Okay. I don’t know where it is anymore, but--

LIAM: I do.

BRIAN: I don’t care. Spend as much time as you need to find it and send it to me.

TRAVIS: The curator knows.

LAURA: Originally, it was Kit’s, like, concept art that brought the feathers in. I hadn’t, like, said that. Obviously, you had her on the show and I didn’t give her a lot of notes.

BRIAN: “Make her hot.”

LAURA: [laughing] Yeah.

BRIAN: “Make me hot.”

LAURA: Basically. I told her dark hair, hazel eyes, and hot. Just make me look like a badass.

LIAM: The beauty of this game is if you say “Oh, seven years ago I slipped on a banana peel,” then it’s canon and it happened.

LAURA: Right, right! So I loved it. I love that he gave them to her. I love that she was upset and he gave them to her.

BRIAN: Kit, are you there? Just kidding. How great would it be if she just started booming?

TRAVIS: God that’d be amazing.

LAURA: Like in the episode--

LIAM: Three AM, don’t care!

BRIAN: Okay, here we go, lightning round. Laura.

LAURA: What?

BRIAN: You just answered a question, I’m going to Travis.

LAURA: Aw.

BRIAN: I’m sorry, I’ve gotta make it even or the internet gets mad.

TRAVIS: Yep.

BRIAN: If you had your own “Dotier” following you around, what would Grog want him to do: draw pictures of Grog or write his story? Slash, pictures/pop-up book for Grog.

TRAVIS: That one.

BRIAN: And what would its title be?

TRAVIS: That one.

BRIAN: The pop-up book?

TRAVIS: Yeah. The pop-up book.

BRIAN: Scratch n’ sniff?

TRAVIS: Yeah. Oh, god, that’s even better.

BRIAN: What would the title of it be? Grog’s memoir that “Dotier” is scribing.

TRAVIS: Grog.

BRIAN: It would just be Grog?

TRAVIS: Yeah.

LAURA: But it would be spelled wrong.

BRIAN: It’d be spelled Gerg?

TRAVIS: Yeah, it’d be G-R.

BRIAN: It’d be Gr.

TRAVIS: Gr.

BRIAN: Liam.

LAURA: Wait wait, what was the thing you wrote on his forehead in the home game?

TRAVIS: Dork!

LAURA: Dork!

LIAM: And you said, “Why does it say ‘Kord’?”

[continuous laughter throughout this part]

TRAVIS: I was a little drunk and instead of saying ‘Krod’, ‘cause I saw it in reflection, I said ‘Kord’ and I was like, “Dammit, fuck! No! It’s ‘Krod’!”

BRIAN: Kord.

TRAVIS: Shit! And Liam was like, “Life imitates art!”

BRIAN: Kord. Hey guys. Not guys. Liam, where’d you get that wonderful shirt?

LIAM: What, this one right here?

LAURA: Oh, the one you wore--

LIAM: --for our Christmas celebration?

LAURA: --yeah!

LIAM: Yeah. It says Spoiler Alert: Everybody Dies, and we all do. And I’m not talking about the game.

LAURA: Aww.

LIAM: I got it at Threadless.com.

TRAVIS: Game of Thrones.

LAURA: Threadless, man!

BRIAN: Threadless.com.

TRAVIS: All men must die.

BRIAN: That’s where you go for great shirts.

LAURA: Valar morghulis.

BRIAN: Here we go.

LAURA & TRAVIS: Valar dohaeris.

BRIAN: Liam, one more. How does Vax feel about the fact that when Keyleth returns to the Air Ashari, she is meant to stay and rule?

LIAM: I mean, he has no idea how to navigate towards this, but I think he sees himself, what he would hope for if he can work things out and make sure that his sister’s happy and everybody gets everything they want, he would be like a Jorah [Mormont] figure standing at her side, and then he would age out and die, and she would go on to another lover or husband or whatever and he would have his time with her and be thankful for it and pass on. He’s gotta get there, though.

BRIAN: What do you do--

LAURA: Why does she get to live an extra-long time? I don’t understand.

LIAM: Because she’s made of trees.

LAURA: Yeah, but she’s made of half-elf, like we are.

LIAM: But she turns into trees.

TRAVIS: Yeah.

LAURA: Like she’ll be living forever as a tree?

BRIAN: But will she float?

LIAM: A thousand years.

TRAVIS: A ‘tow-zend.’

LIAM: ‘Tow-zend.’

LAURA: I know she lives a thousand years, I just didn’t know why she lived a thousand years.

LIAM: Because the Player’s Handbook says she does.

TRAVIS: If you can turn into a fuckin’ tree, you would live a little longer.

LAURA: Yeah, but you’d be stuck in place ‘cause you’re a tree!

TRAVIS: Are they like Treebeard?

LAURA: Why would you want to do that?

TRAVIS: Are they Treebeard trees or are they just--?

[Denise laughs off-camera.]

BRIAN: Of course you caught that, Denise. Sorry. Everything’s fine. Do you know what you should do?

LIAM: What?

BRIAN: Go off with Keyleth and do what people think I do with my life, which is live off the wealth of your betrothed.

[laughing]

LIAM: Keyleth and Vax need to play Call of Duty non-stop!

TRAVIS: Ah, if only that was the truth.

BRIAN: Oh man, it’s been a minute. It’s been a minute. Hey guys. We gotta wrap up here. Do you know why? AXYB is back and they are coming on at 9, but guess what? Gotta go back to Twitch, ‘cause it’s not on Alpha yet. It will be soon--no it won’t.

LAURA: [laughing] No it won’t!

BRIAN: I get fed a lot of bogus info. You know what I mean?

TRAVIS: Yeah.

BRIAN: People try to trap me and try to get me to say a lot of bogus stuff on the show.

LAURA: Who knows what--y’know, you just say it, y’know--

BRIAN: I say everything people tell me and then I let the internet sort through what’s true and what’s not.

LAURA: That’s right.

TRAVIS: The Loch Ness monster is real!

LAURA: I think he was just reiterating information that he got, and he believed it was true and he was just--[Travis covers her mouth]

TRAVIS: No more.

BRIAN: It’s a great show, though, you should watch it anyway.

TRAVIS: No more talky.

[Laura laughing]

TRAVIS: No more talky.

BRIAN: Travis, I’m not sure if you’ve been asked this before, but on a game-to-game basis, how often do you have an awesome strategy that you have to scrap because of your dedication to the role of Grog?

LIAM: So unfair.

LAURA: Because you’re such a good player, you’re the best of us.

TRAVIS: I think I have some lint in my belly button.

BRIAN: Denise, can we get tweezers and a close-up?

TRAVIS: Uh, what was the question?

LIAM: Sometimes he tells me about his time at Rada [sp?] and on the West End--

TRAVIS: Yep.

LIAM: --and it’s just wasted. Wasted. Hidden away.

TRAVIS: All these plans that I had to go study at CERN, they’re just--

BRIAN: Do you ever have to abandon--like, say--I‘m going to try and interpret the question. You’re in the game, rounds are happening, you’re thinking, “Oh I know exactly what to do,” but then you have to abandon the strategy because it’s not something Grog would do because he’s a dumb-dumb.

TRAVIS: Never. No. I love playing a barbarian, because I didn’t know anything about D&D. I read, like, some of the Wizard class, Druids, spells, levels, cantrips, all that shit. Super intimidated me. I thought it would be too much. I only have to think about what I’m gonna hit, with what, where, and how. And that is, it works for me beautifully. I don’t have to get super-creative. Um, like, if I get really out of the box, I pull out the Alchemy Jug and ask for oil, ‘cause I think that’s going to make a kraken lurch. Other than that, it’s just like [rage noises] and that’s it.

LIAM: We used to be brothers in arms with that, too. Don’t need it, don’t want it, don’t understand it.

TRAVIS: Yeah!

LIAM: And I’ve only got level 1 spells and I’m like “Owww.”

TRAVIS: “It hurts, it’s taking years off my life!”

LIAM: “I ate too much ice cream!”

LAURA: “Wait, wait! This is a concentration and this is a concentration--”

TRAVIS: I know, I know.

LAURA: “--shiiiiit!”

TRAVIS: I look every once in awhile to try and dabble and it scares the pee-noss out of me, so.

BRIAN: I--wizards are tough. Wizards are tough.

LAURA: Yeah, dude.

BRIAN: I’m doing a lot of research, lot of late-night Matt Mercer calls. Lot of Venmo-ing him. He’s very expensive if you’re not in his game.

[laughing]

LAURA: He charges by the hour.

TRAVIS: He doesn’t give you the family--the friends and family, does he?

BRIAN: I asked him him for one and he said if you know any friends or family of mine that want to put--

[laughing]

BRIAN: Well, that’s all the time we have for tonight, folks. I’d like to thank everyone for joining. We should just do this [referring to roses] every week now. That’s it. We’ll see you next week, thank you for submitting questions to the Alpha Chat Room. Thank you Courtney. Thank you Max. Thank you Denise. Thank you everyone.

LAURA: Thank you Danny.

BRIAN: Thank you, Danny. Thank you Eddy. Goodnight moon.

LIAM: Goodnight, Mittens.

BRIAN: Goodnight, Mittens.

TRAVIS: Thanks, Chris! Thanks Ryan!

BRIAN: Thank you Chris, thank you Ryan, thank you Sax, thank you everyone.

DENISE, off screen: Selina.

BRIAN: Thank you Selina.

LAURA: Thank you Selina!

BRIAN: Thank you Amandine. Pre-thank you Amandine! For coming back to us. Legally, this time. I’m kidding.

LIAM: Thank you rose.

BRIAN: Love you guys. Thank you for watching. Thank you rose.

LAURA: Thank you broom.

BRIAN: Thank you, broom. Goodnight! That’s it, Denise.

DENISE, off screen: Okay, BYYYYE!
