— fake me but real heart, the same as you.

requests: Request. How about the rk's seeing/hearing about the s/o getting shot in the arms or in the leg? And having to get a new arm/leg! -from, the one fake leg Anon!

About that fake leg/arm anon: CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW ADVANCED THE PROSTHETICS ARE IN DBH??? They can make fully functioning androids, so the prosthetics are probably top notch.

I just saw the ask about the s/o with prosthesis and all I can think about now is the RKs doing this android hand thing with their s/o and being really proud little androids, because look how cool their human is

the amount of sorry im late i’ve said to fake leg anon in my head is not enough also uhh i wasn’t in the mood for sad things so it’s weird humor at it again

Connor:

• “so it’s definitely busted, mh?” a hint of hope in his tone that you’ll say no • “totally” you sigh, showing him the swinging broken arm • “I’m so so sorry, sweetie” he caresses your head and plants a peck on it, this is not going to be easily repaired • “don’t be, not like it’s your fault” • “true but–” • “relax, i was going to replace it anyway” • of course next morning you wake up to breakfast in bed and him, in a lazy outfit, saying he’s taken the day off to pamper you and buy a new arm • how can you refuse? • p simple: you can’t • he’s a very polite baby, he’ll let you handle your things but help if you just ask him so • he totally didn’t search the whole internet the night before for ‘how to get a new arm for your special human’ • now his head is full of strange ads about medicine which is annoying honestly • no, he doesn’t want to be a physiotherapist CLICK HERE TO LEARN FAST he just wanted to know specs about artificial limbs • he already made a mental note, quite literally, to install the newer version of ‘adblock plus’ as soon as you two get home • “does it bothers you? to be.... well, a little different?” • “mhh, should it? technology has come so far, sometimes i even forget this is not my arm in the first place” • he nods, understanding, kissing your cheek as to say that he’s not going to press the argument further • “besides, i can do this with my cute dork boyfriend” you grab his hand and both his and yours skin disappears, leaving a blank plastic plate • he’s,,,, going to melt help his face is covered in blue

RK900:

• “I want to pay for it” • “baby you don’t need to” • “I want to” • you sigh and hold down a chuckle, gosh, you’ve been missing a hand for pretty much your whole life, it’s not a big thing anymore “fine” • he’s just a overly worried little shit • yep he’ll lend you a hand with picking out no matter what • i mean hello?? an android?? completely made of wires so uhh?? listen to him? • please,,,, watch out bc he’ll look for super expensive prostheses and sulk at the fact that not even by using both of your wallets you’re going to afford that • an innocent puppy that only wants the best for you how can you blame him • OKAY he can settle for a medium range • not that he still won’t work hard & save money • so when you least expect it he’s going to surprise you • a fussy baby!! he’ll check on your prosthetic a lot • need maintenance? does it hurt? are sensations calibrated in the correct way?? is everything alright? • he feels a bit guilty about it but he’s deeply enamoured with holding your cybernetic hand • to the point he longs for you to fall asleep and play with your fingers, knuckles, palm • and when one night your skin peels off with his touch??????? • god he’s,,,, he’s,,,, he doesn’t even know how to react he’s so happy • but he’s a dork so nu-uh, not going to tell you it happened, he’ll be a proud little robot in secret

RK800-60:

• “yes but think this.... knife leg” • “honey,,,, i,,,, need it,,,, to walk” • “a tiny pocket in the calf?? come on” • “i don’t think they’ll make it” • “ahh man, humans are no fun! you get to customize your leg and you make it all serious” • you shake your head laughing, he does have a point but • “what about you? as a free android don’t you get to personalize yourself?” • he stops, thinks about it for a moment and immediately jumps off the couch • “fuck you’re right” • he?? didn’t realize it until now?? • turns out he really wants to change his appereance • not looking at him for one (1) second? he’s already trying on weird additional biocomponents • “no,,,, baby you don’t need that” • “are you sure?” • “yeah pretty sure you shouldn’t have twelve fingers” • he could begin a tangent about how humans’ standards are unfair to androids but • in the end you manage to buy what you were looking for, a new lighter leg, and to return home without a monster boyfriend • not that there’s anything wrong with monsters • “oh! can I try a thing?” • “uhh okay?” • he touches your feet with his own, your liquid derma retracting • “see? we’re kinda similar” and he smiles in the softest childish way you didn’t even know was possible “well, we can’t interface but....” • you get closer and hug him, placing your head in the crook of his neck, kissing him gently • “i love you”

🔥 torchwood, lost & detroit become human??

torchwood: i don’t think its that bad. the way the bi rep was handled is kinda wonky because… 2006 but like, overall its a good show. series 2 especially

also i love gwen. i dunno how much gwen hate still exists now but yeah

lost:

the finale was great, fantastic, beautiful, A+++

the characters matter more than the ~mysteries~

i like/love jack, kate, ana lucia, michael, charlotte, shannon (heck, insert any female character name here because they’ve all gotten ragged on)

jacob is a bad person

i don’t think kate & sawyer work as romantic partners, i just like them as friends. i approve of several ships in the love square but thats one i’m ehhh about, and i know its very popular

i like sayid/shannon. nay, i love sayid/shannon

but overall im happy the modern lost fandom is fulla queer feminists because from what i’ve seen, the old lost fandom (2004 to 2010) was… not as pleasant

detroit become human

oh gosh this is gonna be bad (i have friends who hate this game)

i wanna make it clear ahead of time that i absolutely am aware of the flaws in this game and i’ve even spent a lot of time discussing them with my friends.nobody can diss dbh better than a dbh fan, believe me. i can be aware of something’s flaws and still like something (anybody whose followed me for lost knows i’ve dissed the flaws in lost loads of times. i still love it!)

also the dude who wrote/directed this game is an asshole, an idiot, a sexist and a bunch of other bad things. thats not an unpopular opinion, i just wanted you guys to know that i know this. when i praise dbh, i’m not praising him

long story short, i like the creation not the creator

i went on a bit so its under here

despite who made it: it’s a good game, brent

i think despite its flaws, there’s more good things than bad things

allegory isn’t inherently racist. note my emphasis

“heavy handed”, “on the nose” and “not subtle” aren’t bad things? i see it get used as insults a lot but to me i got no bother. not subtle doesn’t mean bad. bear in mind that i’ve grown up a star trek and x-men fan so yeah

i don’t wanna say the word overrated because i don’t believe in that. i just find it interesting how certain characters are getting a lot of attention (e.g gavin, nines) whilst other characters are ignored or reviled. thats not me saying the characters whom are popular in fandom should be ignored, thats me saying i’d like more focus on other characters i like too e.g markus, kara, kamski, the jerries, north, josh, rose & adam and a bunch more. i just really like all the androids and some humans okay

like, its pretty obvious why simon (white man) is being adored whilst josh (black) and north (woman) are being ignored and despised respectively, right? and thats not me hating on simon or saying less simon. i like simon! (or like, what can be done with him bcuz canon simon has no depth)

i just happen to like josh and north! which deserves its own bullet point

not only do i like north, i love north and she’s one of my fave characters!

i do not agree with the often used phrase “hank and connor are the only worthwhile part of this game”, in fact, i hate it. sure, the best part of the game, go ahead. but the only worthwhile part? fuck you, because

i like markus and kara and their stories! whilst most my problems with this game are in markus’ story (just trust me on that), overall i still like it. and kara? heck theres not a single kara chapter i don’t like. and on that note:

i don’t consider kara’s story to be useless. yeah she’s not part the revolution plot but thats not bad. i think it provides a balance. think of it like this: markus represents The Leader, the liberator, the messiah. he is fighting for his people. and he comes from a privileged background. connor is representing The Man, The System, depending on how you play him he is rebelling against The System or is a part of it. now what does kara represent? The People. her and the other androids she encounters represent the average android in this world. markus and connor can’t do that so i feel its important we see her. we’re seeing what markus (and maybe connor) are fighting for. and i think thats really important

and besides all that, i just plain like it okay

i like markus/north, i think they make a good couple (moreso in my head than in the game but i still think they’re sweet in the game)

the concept that pacifist markus and north don’t “make sense together” is stupid because ur assuming north is bloodthirsty and has no room for growth. and that all couples need to agree with each other. also north for violent markus and simon for pacifist markus also makes no sense to me becuz 1. people aren’t rewards, 2. ur confusing simon with josh. again. and 3. violent!markus and north would just be enabling each other. if north is to be with any markus, it should be pacifist markus because they’d be good for each other. also all three of them being options woulda been nice but that’s not an unpopular opinion anyways so moving on

the awkwardness felt about markus/north coulda totally been fixed by literally just one change. take the “lover” indicator and move it until after their first kiss. that way the timing is far less jarring and because the player can choose the kiss or not, the “lover” thing feels more like “yay i made their relationship grow” and less “oh whoa that was sudden”. if that was moved and nothing else changed, markus/north would’ve been way more loved. but alas, markus’ relationship scanner is just damn awkward

markus, my markus, is a verse and a kind, socially inept boy (i like how with the jericho four, north is a rowdy girl whilst the other three are various kinds of soft boys in their own way. i think thats cute and neat)

connor is not an innocent niave dumb bimbo (save that for the bedroom) and i wanna remind ppl that he’s an expert on psychology

the humans killed by daniel, ralph, echo (blue traci), shaolin (HK400) and north all deserved it

north, josh and simon would not all hate each other, fuck you. these people are meant to be friends, remember? (also jericho OT4, y’all!!!)

the facial expression on simon’s face after markus and north kiss at the end is gentle approval. he looks happy, some ppl are just projecting

i don’t mind that alice is an android

the way some markus/simon shippers talk about north is downright sexist and i think most north hate is caused by sexism & rape apologism

(i’m a live and let live kinda person about ships and also i’ve very into multishipping so some y’alls behaviour is perplexing to me)

there is nothing inherently morally wrong with shipping hank/connor. connor is capable of consent and age differences aren’t inherently bad. and the only reason this ship is controversial is because hank looks old and he’s not conventionally attractive. nobody would care otherwise

kamski isn’t evil, he’s morally ambiguous / chaotic neutral

i, uh, like kamski/chloe. its interesting (i’ve embraced that it’s fucked up) and i like the idea that chloe actually does love him. its kinda tragic?

a bunch of that was more about the fandom than the game but whatever. and as usual when i make a list, theres probs more but like, thats what comes to mind

yeah there was room for improvement on this game but overall i think its great and i like the characters, more than that i like what can be done with the characters. like, its a nice place to build from. and like, the people who are all like “if ur a fan of detroit become human, ur a bad person” can just fuck off

thats not how… anything… works

and besides its a piece of android media, done in a story based game, that has android babes and is fulla allegory and it’s something i can analyse to death (and as a bonus, the graphics/rendering/mocap/texturing are PHENOMENAL)

of course this is something i would like and i won’t apologise for that

#i went into dbh more because i haven't done so a lot on tumblr #partly because liking this game is considered controversial #but whatever idc #(if ur under the impression that liking this game somehow inherently makes me a bad person i want you to know that ur ridiculous)#most of my dbh talking happens on discord #a lot of times with my mouth words #anyways long story as short as possible: dbh flawed but i like it #its just that those words can extend into full flown essays #or several 8 hour rants with my friends on discord (im not kidding)#or way or another #i wouldn't care so much if i wasn't a fan #like y'all see me putting energy into things i dislike/hate?#fuck no that'd be absurd #agardenintheshire
