in all honesty Zlatko had a TON of androids in his house. It wouldn't be too far fetched for him to have literally built a small dragnet for catching deviants.

Right? They never really explained that, a dragnet makes a lot of sense!

What did you do to him beneath the crop?

This is so accusatory LMAO i love it. it’s nothing like... blatant or anything he’s just restrained and uhhh... idk how to explain you’ll have to just see when it’s done I guess XD

Put a blindfold on him?

Add another layer and give him some cool glasses, problem solved

They have a heart but from their mannequin construction it can only go so far. They may have muscle-like actuators but the hard joints with metal connectors ensure that their anatomy is wildly different from ours. Lucy, for example, has no brain in her head. Yet other androids seem to have gray matter up there. The inconsistency can be explained by modernizing androids...to excuse Cage's bad writing...so it's safe to assume that androids as a race have wildly varying...

...internal anatomy that range from robotic to human-like.

Lays on the ground because this is wild and fascinating and a mind fuck LMAO.

I don't read much of any fanfics but like...thinking of them as father/son is just.............weird and wrong

@edithroemer how so? can you point out ANYTHING in canon that suggests a father/son interpretation of events would be weird? i have nothing against hannor shippers as a concept i just wish yall wouldn't say nonsense like this

Yeah ‘weird and wrong’ is a pretty harsh descriptor imo? canon has Hank calling Connor ‘son’ (in context “Hang on, son” so like common colloquial term for an older man to call a younger man as well) and telling Connor him dying reminds him too much of Cole, like the evidence for it is there enough, even if it’s easily interpreted other ways. 

Plus if we take Connor’s age as around what Bryan’s is (31), then Connor and Hank are 20 years apart about roundabouts, which is plenty enough for Hank to be the right age to be his parental figure.

So yeah, i think its very reasonable people would think of them as having a more father/son relationship. 

It’s just been so tainted with CONNOR IS A BABY UWU ableistbs that its ruined for me now lmao. Plus some other complications but I won’t talk about them rn XD

marvelously replied to your post “This might be unpopular opinion time. I’ve really kinda lost the magic...”

hard finding anything that's labeled them as qp specifically but this one's pre-relationship and i think could interpreted as queerplatonic instead! https://archiveofourown.org/works/15290766

I must admit I'm not familiar with all the Kamski scenes but he SEEMS to imply he regards androids as human while acting like a slightly amused, utter sociopath.

That’s a pretty apt description of how I read him too LOL.

“HERE’S UR CHOICE BUDDY: MURDER THIS ANDROID AND GET UR INFO OR DON’T AND PROVE UR A DEVIANT WHICH IS EVERYTHING YOU’RE PROGRAMMED TO DESTROY 8o) OH AND BTW HERE’S UR ESCAPE ROUTE IF U WANT IT. JUST IN CASE. DO I LIKE U DO I HATE U IDK SHRUG WINK WINK THUMBSUP.”

Ah, another beautiful confusion brought on by c/age’s shitty writing LMAO! So the thing is, in canon they state the androids DON’T feel pain, and sometimes they don’t react as if they’re in pain at all, and then sometimes they really really do???? XD It definitely would make sense for them not to, but a lot of people tend to have their own headcanons around that.

I for one think they do feel a type of pain, just not the same as humans. More in the sense of extreme distress/discomfort at a point of injury after they deviate, like you said. That fits pretty well with what we’ve seen in canon imo... most times they’ve seemed to have been in some kind of pain occurred to Connor when he was either a minute from death or when damaged at his core, where really important biocomponents are. But it’s also been Markus at a point wherein he was very badly damaged, and his distress was more obviously emotional, or when he’s near death. But yeaaaah it’s inconsistent in canon at best XD

And then of course there’s my fave fanfic take where some assholes like to fuck with/experiment on androids and give them the sense of pain in some way bc theyre dicks (i like pain what can i say lmfao) 

My favorite version of that so far has been a virus implanted by pissed off human hackers so androids feel pain when they’re in love (kudos to kriegersan on AO3 for that one, warning its an explicit hankcon fic)

So that’s the deal on that! X’D

BOY, WE COULD HAVE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT TORTURING OUR CHARACTERS FOR DAYS
