#dca hcs

These hcs will be centered around my personal experiences with pain and illness only because I can do it better justice. Not opposed to a continuation of other disabilities if anyone’s interested though!

- First and foremost, the boys don’t exactly understand your symptoms at first. Good thing they’re fast learners.

- You’ll have to go into detail about how things feel and how they affect your day to day life for them to really understand. Sun will ask more questions while Moon mostly listens.

- The bright overhead lights in the daycare trigger your migraines. You power through it as best you can, but Sun definitely takes notice quickly no matter how good you are at hiding it.

- They have a sensor that reads human distress, specifically by detecting epinephrine (adrenaline) and other hormones secreted by your adrenal system, as well as reading your heart rate. They can read blood pressure just by putting a hand on your shoulder or wrist. This reading requires physical contact.

- This sensor was incorporated into their OS for kids but definitely comes in handy in other applications. They can help determine how your body responds to migraines and other illnesses.

- They can also read oxygen saturation via physical contact. This has to be skin to animatronic skin though, not through any kind of thin fabric.

- If you have asthma, pneumonia, long covid, or any other lung issue they Will know. Panic attacks can be de-escalated quicker and easier with this early alert system in place.

- The combination of reading your adrenal system, heart rate, and blood pressure makes for two very attentive boyfriends.

- They both keep a log of your symptoms and stats. Not that you know this, it’s just a shared secret between the two.

- Don’t worry, these logs are hidden and locked up in inconspicuous folders so no maintenance workers can find them. On the off chance you’re the one doing their maintenance, these files are hidden even better. Most maintenance workers will just get in and get the job done. But being your partners, they know you’ll want to check every nook and cranny to make sure things are running as smoothly as possible.

- Although Sun can’t turn the lights off for you, he will try and make a couple of cozy spots near common areas so you can still be present in activities. Let the pillow fort building begin!

- While kiddos are napping, Moon can adjust his temperature output in his palms so he can rest them on your head and neck. Eyelids too if that’s what you’d prefer.

- I like to imagine he’d gently place his chilled thumbs on your eyelids while keeping his fingers situated on and under your jaw.

-Teach them about your pressure points! Everyone’s are a bit different, but they’ll utilize them as often as possible.

- They will absolutely do additional research on your symptoms and scour the internet for things that can relieve your symptoms. Different pressure points, diet changes, sleep schedule maintenance, posture and stretching, etc.

- Sometimes they can be overbearing about it. If you express to them any troubles with doctors you’ve had and point out their overbearing patronizing qualities they will absolutely try to dial it back. You may have to stand your ground a bit. I do see a little couples spat originating from this topic, but you know it’s only because they care. Outline the things you’ve tried that haven’t worked. Spell it out for them and color code it if you have to. I definitely see this as being a pain but worth it.

- Will try to convince management to let them go to doctor’s appointments with you. It won’t work, but they’ll continue trying nevertheless. Moon is not above intimidation tactics and Sun would threaten a cleaning strike. Not that Sun would last long, he needs a clean space and so do the kids.

- Chronic pain. Ugh. You may try to show them any cool “double jointed tricks” but once they notice the pattern of tricks causing pain, they shut it down.

- Pays extra close to you during games of tag or hide and seek. Once Sun convinces you to stop contorting yourself just to find better hiding spaces, he will intentionally not see you even if it’s an obvious spot. Same treatment with tag.

- Will make you sit out for games if you’ve already been over exerting yourself.

- Naptime is very convenient for you in both the migraine department and the chronic joint pain department.

- All of that electricity and wiring makes for a great sentient tens unit.

- Moon will practice taking his wiring out just so he can do it quickly and efficiently. Can’t let the kids experience their first tech gore situation in the daycare lol

- Vibrating. Fingers. Need I say more?

- This was definitely a weird one for you- why does a daycare animatronic need to have vibrating fingers? Why can they dislocate and remove them?? Who in upper management approved this???

- Baby bottles need to be at a specific temperature, as well as mixed thoroughly. Why not just pop a finger joint off and plop it in a bottle? (After sanitizing it of course)

- This is by far one of the two most uncomfortable symptom relieving things they can do. Next to the gore-like tens unit trick.

- It’s not something you enjoy watching them do, but after Moon assured you there’s no pain or discomfort from it you’ll relent and allow it. Jaw and joint pain begone.

- Sun has and absolutely will continue to make the “Need a hand?” joke. Not only because he thinks it’s funny but also because he’s trying to desensitize you to him literally. Removing his fingers.

- As high energy as Sun is, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t get overstimulated. Especially with all of the daycare kids hanging all over him.

-Since Sun and Moon share the same framework, they both have sensors that act like nerves basically everywhere. They’re shared

-While one is fronting, the other can still kind of feel those sensations…just not to the same extent. They’re much more dull.

-That being said, Moon can usually tell when Sun is getting overwhelmed, or on his way there. Not only because they share a headspace.

- Although impromptu napping isn’t the best for kids’ sleep schedules, sometimes Moon has to intervene before it’s his turn on duty.

-Afterwards Sun will typically try and run the kids ragged more than usual (if that’s even possible.) It gives him a chance to recollect himself and take a step back from the responsibilities of handling kids.

- On normal days, Sun will do his darndest to make sure those kids are ready for naptime.

-Sun does his best to clean up so Moon doesn’t have to while the kids are napping, but shit happens. Moon suggested trying to teach the kids to clean their own messes and although not perfect, Moon sees Sun’s attempts and it warms his heart.

- There’s a lot of dialogue between the two, constantly. Their gossiping could rival just about anyone’s girls night.

- Their gossip mainly consists of the parents dropping their kids off. Occasionally someone will bring in another, ahem, “friend” that differs from the children’s other parent. They suppose that parent doesn’t bother to hide it around them since they’re often seen a non-sentient, but they know their dirty little secret. Sometimes they even receive the drawings and stories!

- Moon is a fashionista, the absolute diva 💅

- Definitely makes comments to Sun about any wardrobe mishaps or the absolutely atrocious fashion that walks through the Pizzaplex.

- Roxy is not excluded from these private discussions.

- Except they don’t always stay private. Especially if Roxy’s ego is particularly grating that day. Moon will absolutely critique her fashion sense. This goes about as well as you could imagine.

- Sun and Moon split the snack time duties. One will take on two snack times and the other will take the last, and then they’ll switch the order the next day. Meals are split the same.

- Moon is the one that identifies sick kids the fastest and easiest. They can tell temperatures with their palm and cheek sensors, but since Moon handles naptime he can more easily go child to child to assess them.

- That doesn’t mean Sun doesn’t! It’s just harder when every kid is trying to pull you into a different direction. And the kids that quietly color or play by themselves aren’t constantly in contact with him. He still checks on them and plays with them, but the intensity of the interactions are different.
