Makes total sense tbh, it’d just be cheaper and more efficient to just scrap his old body given how totaled he is. Perks of being an Android equivalent to that of an older gen iPhone with how common his mold probably is.

ik it was bc QD wanted a single model for all chapter endings including where he fell, but I think it’s funny that even with the one where snipers took him down he still has his legs gone. Had a small unserious hc that maybe w/ his body growing rigid after shutting down the clean up crew just ripped them off for easier transport of his corpse or something

If Connor were to stick to his promise and repair Daniel do you think it’d be easier to just pop his head off and plunk it onto a fresh PL600 body given that way he’d just need to take care of his head injuries

bc I can’t imagine the latter he’d be very pleased waking up to find out his pants were torn to swim trunks

PLEASE I need to see more examples of software malfunctions with Markus — he scavenged biocomponents from a literal junkyard there’s no way him nor most of Jericrew (North probably spared bc she’s been deviant not that long) facing repercussions of stuffing themselves with potential damaged or faulty parts that were just 13% more functional than their last.

Incompetent Markus playthrough, except instead of him actually being incompetent, Markus glitches out at the most inopportune times due to, you know, having been shot in the head. You can't tell me that Markus popped in two wet, old, dirty, semi-compatible bio-components into his head and he was good as new.

During the Cyberlife Warehouse raid he gets caught by the guards and North has to rescue him because he gets stuck in a preconstruction.

North tells him to lock the door during the Stratford Tower mission, and a full five seconds later he's forgotten what shes said and they get caught.

The Capitol Park mission where North bitches him out for standing there the whole fifteen minutes doing nothing, Markus is just like "15 minutes? Wdym we got here like 2 minutes ago???"

Have him being shot and almost killed have side-effects. Let North come to the realisation that 'oh, hes not actually incompetent, he's impaired". And then find ways to accommodate that.

#hc that moments where you can pause during commands is Markus just blue screening mid-action as north Josh and Simon just look at him #Markus’ brain damage affecting mostly software issues where Jericrew suffer from hardware due to faulty biocomponents they scrapped from a #rotting boat and Markus’ legs randomly locking up and refusing to calibrate with the rest of his body #dbh #dbh markus

Using nighttime’s shadows or underground tunnels is a really solid theory given his face — even without his led — is unmistakably one of the most common molds found on an Android. He isn’t a unique mold like Markus or Connor and hasn’t modified his looks like Kara cutting her hair.

I also hc that jacket he’s got to have been swiped from somewhere so he can zip up and hide the massive hole in his chest in the case he’s seen from a distance. The nerve connections to his legs were severed, so he probably managed to get his hands on a replacement part or recalibrated his legs somehow just long enough to climb down Stratford and head home to Jericho.

I think it’s a good reference for how much of a survivalist he truly is after hiding and scavenging for 2 years at that point. He knows efficient ways to remain hidden even if it requires unsavory places like sewage lines for the sake of invisibility.

We got almost 24hrs from Simon being left at SfT and returning to Jericho. Dude is damaged and blue blood all around.

I think i should make 4 observations about it:

Walking in crowded spaces ain't an option cuz he would be easily spotted with how damaged he is;

Someone probably helped him getting tf out of the Tower when the dust settled or he's really sneaky;

He def had to fix his legs so he could walk without suffering from dcs every 3 secs and falling. How? Idk, 100 possibilities;

He probably preferred walking during the night where everything are almost empty, at least the streets. Or maybe he used underground tunnels;

#it’s honestly admirable how capable he is under stress I mean #scaling down an fbi infested tower while paraplegic with or without help is an insane feat and I kinda wish we got to see #more snippets other than him inside that box looking scared #I can imagine it was hella traumatic for him too

Cage nerfed simon from ben’s height to 5’11 bc he couldn’t handle the sheer power of Markus looking down at Simon’s printed diagnostic after forcing him to sit in Jericho’s medbay for a well-awaited physical (is actively falling apart) and reading the date of his model to discover simon is fucking 6’2 and just has the worst posture known to man

mb gang reversing the damage fanon simon has done is a life accomplishment worth fighting for 😔✊ I love that gorgeous 30 y/o homeless man too much it’s hella nice to see others w/ me on this endeavor

the constant tone-shifting on this blog is so otherworldly funny like i can never take myself seriously when i go from genshinposting to dbhposting

#I wanna pelt him with rocks and various other blunt objects #he’s so silly in a depressed guy way it makes me violent

[siyelius]

More portrayals of Simon visibly resembling an actual man in his 30s that has experienced so much shit he’s just jaded and tired of it all instead of a gay bean twink that stutters and licks Markus’ boots like he’s canonically killed people

the funny thing about the way simon's portrayed in fanon is that most people have mutually agreed that he's super shy when he's Really not? at least not in the same way people write him to be. he never really struck me as socially awkward, he's mostly just anxious in general and, considering the fact that he's been holed up in jericho for 2 and a half years just watching his friends die out, it makes a Lot of sense that he is

regardless he's very vocal about his opinions and what he wants and what he doesn't, even under high levels of stress, he doesn't hesitate at all to oppose the others' opinions + in the second chapter he appears in he pretty much tells markus to suck it up and deal with it or find another hole to die in which. he words a little nicer than that but. Definitely not as passive and docile as people think. like, yes, simon is loyal, and yes, he's quiet, but he isn't shy to the point where he's stumbling over his words and unable to look markus in the eye for longer than a few seconds without blushing! that's mischaracterization! and based off of very little if not zero actual evidence!

#he reminds me of those old dogs that just loudly sigh for no reason #he was literally in an civil war like cmon man #if anything we need more old man Simon #2018 Simon has mentally scarred me he was hit with like a moe beam when he looks like a guy I’d see in the cheese aisle of wegmans

Before saying that North is wrong and Josh and Simon are right, remember that North does all the dirty job for them. She is the one who stains her hands with human's blood for THEIR right to live while Josh and Simon are standing there doing absolutely nothing.

#given north’s history at the hands of humans I’d say her anger is completely justified too #she’s brimming with fire and I love how she’s the ‘call to action’ and first to act when it came to Jericho besides Markus #Simon’s is circumstancial whereas north acts first under stress and I love that for her

[siyelius]

I’m sorry for the constant rambling on the Simon post I just have many many the lights about him and his past and such and k wish we got more from him in canon

no need to apologize at all !! since 2018 he’s been in the back of my mind as my fav dbh character. His canon lore is so slept on — if he was just handled more he could’ve made the history of Jericho less ,,, empty ?? Either way I’m really happy we’re able to talk about him ^^ it’s nice there’s more people who fill gaps of Cage’s writing with their own hc’s and renditions of what went down with him offscreen :]

I love that grown ass tired looking gay man

#also proud Simarkus veteran but that’s a whole other story

[siyelius]

I’d think many would be wary of Markus and the others next steps. Some distrusting/scared about it which would then play into Markus speaking more with the other residents and growing bonds with them.

^^^ Markus (who’s been there for like only 2 days) returning from a massive heist back to Jericho with their old leader of two years missing and only Josh seems to give a shit?? The one collective head that’s been overseeing the safety of their residents didn’t return with the rest, if anything his disappearance should’ve played a massive role in Jericho trusting Markus.

As for Simon’s injuries I also assumed he has a faulty battery of some sorts due to him sleeping immediately post-Markus’ arrival. Maybe the flawed parts he’s salvaged from dying deviants weren’t in top condition and he has to enter a ‘low power mode’ to combat a forceful standby. Based off the KARA short an android’s quantic battery can last up to 173 years, but maybe there’s something wrong with Simon’s energy output and he’s simply just gotten used to it. That way Jericho’s residents can wake him up if needing help, but until then he stays out of everyone’s way. ‘Dealing with’ chronic weakness, as he’d say — having handled it for so long he hasn’t seen a need to get repaired even after Jericho obtains biocomponent printers. It could also explain why he’s such a bullet magnet, he physically can’t keep up as optimally.

I HC a lot of the other caretaker models would worry endlessly if Simon weren’t to return, including that YK500 model in Jericho (so much potential for a kid like Alice to be caught up in the revolution)

With multiple accounts ingame of Markus comforting shell shocked deviants, there’s potential of the other three advocating reassurance for their people too given they’re caught up in a civil war. North could’ve comforted refugees from Eden Club / victims of SA and provide them clothing/autonomy whilst channeling their hatred into fire for their cause. Josh could handle victims of domestic violence and be the most vocal with aid, and caretakers look up to Simon given his years of maturing. With one of them missing; a wing of Jericho crumbles.

Slight unrelated to prev paragraph, but I’m still trying to figure out what the deal was with that hole in Simon’s chest at Stratford. A bullet slicing his thigh laterally makes sense, but there’s just a fist-sized hole just under his sternum?

Simon being both metaphorically and the literal embodiment of a Sacrificial Lamb. Seeing himself as nothing but a failure of his people — viewing his own vessel as a farm for biocomponents to feed his comrades and provide their sustenance with his death like defeated prey. Made up himself of parts he’s salvaged and torn off others of his own kind in their final moments to keep himself going over the years, believing he’s joining the cycle by sharing the same fate of the ones he’s seen die in Jericho prior to Markus’ arrival.

His persistence in Markus tearing out his heart akin to a sheep forcing its exposed neck into the maws of a starving wolf; wishing it’d kill him to live on. Knowing a piece of him lives forever from within Markus’ chest, beating his heart for him to keep his companion alive even with Simon gone. Not caring he’s forgotten and lost in the chaos of war. Body but a limp plastic chassis with him gone.

Not even giving Markus a choice. Urging to just eat him and let him die already for the benefit of everyone. Simon valuing all life but his own.

God I love him as a character but please give that man some happiness. No wonder he’s so tired all the time, he’s probably worn down from all the shit he’s seen throughout the years in that rotting boat and just wants to go out being useful for once. Bro looks like he just wants a nap.

#we need more depictions of jericrew’s scars like Markus’ waist too methinks #also Simon recalibrating his legs and scaling down 79 fbi ridden floors and navigating back to Jericho is so??? #slept on ??? he came back without his led and presumably that jacket to hide his chest but he’s an actual master navigator #I wanna figure the fuck out how he was able to hide that well and sneak back home in under 36 hours #impressive as hell bro really wanted to go home and see Markus
