I have a very silly crack au I've been calling 'Milf Sheila au' which is pretty much just. Tex brings all the ai to bloodgulch and Sheila adopts Theta. Eventually the other ai too. Sheila, Church, and North have to figure out a split custody agreement (North argues that since Church and Sheila live together with the rest of the blues there should be a 50/50 split on time. Sheila and Church think it should be 66/33 split so they each individually get the same amount of time with Theta). When Theta is with Sheila he goes in a little rc car. Sarge keeps offering to mod the rc car and add weapons to it.

#O'malley is the third of the ai to be adopted by Sheila after Theta and Church. noone knows how it happened. #Gamma is fourth. #I haven't drawn a tank since I was like 8 years old #rvb #red vs blue #rvb sheila #rvb ai #rvb theta #ai theta #mikeys rvb art #mikeys rvb rambles

Gamma uses Gary, Omega uses O'Malley,,, Theta... is Throckmorton...

Another thing we lost in the retcon is the Grif character arc. Which is also super funny to imagine Epsilon simulating, like:

Epsilon: “Results are in. The guy definitely has depression. Huh.”

Theta: “Can we hug him?”

Epsilon: “No.”

Why I love the Epsilon System (RvB)

I think the epsilon system from the series Red vs Blue is one of the greatest representations of Dissociative Identify Disorder in fiction (Spoliers for the show below). While obviously brought into science fiction, this is a fairly accurate representation of DID despite the fact that I'm not sure the creators did much research into the topic. So church or, the alpha, an ai based off the Director's mind, was tortured until he fractured. These fragments were then harvested by the director so he could have more than one AI unit.

So let's get the inaccuracies out of the way. The show seems to believe there is "the original" and that it is the alpha. The alpha is also as far as I know, an already fully developed mind. With actual DID, it only occurs in childhood as a result of trauma not letting the brain fully form into one cohesive self. So the parts of the brain essentially become more distinct. Honestly however I can see it being argued that the alpha is simply supposed to be the host, and that ai minds are different than human minds. Also Washington calls the disorder an outdated term that stopped being used a decade before the episode came out.

Okay that's it. Almost everything else is surprisingly accurate and now I get to gush about it! First of all, the fact that the entire thing happened because of the trauma the alpha endured is so amazingly accurate and ties both into the representation and the plot in an incredibly satisfying way. The ai fragments themselves are also quite accurate to the roles of DID alters, there is:

- A host, or an alter that is mainly out and in charge (Alpha)

- a factive, or an alter based on a real person (Beta)

- a persecutor, or an alter who attempts to harm the system in a misguided attempt at protection (I'd argue sigma, gamma, and omega)

- A little, or an alter that looks and acts like a child (Theta)

- A trauma holder, or an alter that holds some traumatic memories so the rest don't need to (epsilon)

- A protector, or an alter who keeps the system safe from harm (I'd argue delta)

On top of this beta and theta also represent alters of a different gender and age than the host respectively. And even something like alters dating can be seen through alpha and beta.

When talking with a friend about this he pointed out that eta represents fear and iota represents happiness. With that in mind and the fact we rarely see them, I believe they could act as internal caretakers by helping support the system. With eta supporting because they fear something bad might happen, and iota supporting because they want to spread happiness.

I also believe that both gamma and omega could, with more time, become reformed persecutors with them using their strengths to help the system rather than hinder it in their own way of helping. We already see this with epsilon relying on gamma occasionally when performing tasks. Omega has mostly been cartoonishly evil throughout the series and I think epsilon learning to accept and control omegas rage instead of holding it all back until he snaps would benefit the system.

Most of what we see of what the alpha system could've been if no fragments were taken is shown after all fragments but epsilon was destroyed in an emp blast. Epsilon uses his and the other fragments memories to create memory versions of them, acting just like them and letting them live on.

I love this because in most systems, there is a reason alters exist and they have a purpose that helps the system function in daily life. Epsilon while amazing, is much stronger when he has everyone else with him. He understood that this is what the alpha system should've been, and if he wants to do everything he can, having the other fragments with him is the best way to do it.

I have more to say, but I think I pretty much covered it. Epsilon-church and the other fragments are very well written and I can only hope we get a satisfying conclusion to their story in the next season. I'll also probably make a "why theta is the best ever of all time" post at some point too!

i love having church and north fighting over theta parenting styles because alpha is like “i’ll give you dessert for dinner for a week if you say fuck in front of north” and north is like “theta. do you want to make your father cry. because i will cry.”

So like...........I wasn't planning on doing the other fragments but then I kept thinking about it and whoopsie all Churches (+one Tex)

I also had the thought of like...the longer the fragments stayed with their agents, the more they took on their traits right? Like Gamma's jokes he picked up from Wyoming. So some of their appearances might have been influenced by the initial implantation + the longer they spent bonding with their agents the more influence there was.

Hence, Delta's 'scar' to match York, Gamma's mustache, Theta's and Omega's blonde hair. Epsilon was only with Wash a short time and then developed on his own, so still closely resembles Alpha. Eta and Iota got based more on Carolina, and therefore Allison which is why they look more like Beta. Sigma influenced Maine rather than the other way around so he looks most like Alpha/the Director.

[fishfingersalad]

i think the idea of the ais appearance slowly starting to mimic their freelancers appearances in little ways is so <3333 deltas hair is slicked up at the front like yorks, thetas hair gets slight curls from north and he gets dimples from south, gamma smiles crooked like wyoming, iotas hair is tied up like carolinas, omega gets scars where tex has been 'injured', eta mimics wash as well as carolina but his eyes light up the same way hers do when she smiles, epsilons hair is messy the way washs is rather than the way churchs is. sigma doesnt get any maine traits because he rejects their bond in favour of control. theyre so fundamentally changed by those they care about that becoming one again like sigma intends could never fully work
