Not really. HankRose could be cute. I like the concept of Chloe900 being 'the first' and 'the last' androids, but Niner is perfect for Gav.

I headcanon Con as aroace and so I avoid anything romantic/s*xual with him. If I didn't, I'd put him with Chloe considering that he canonically called her "very pretty." Such a thing can ofc be 100% platonic appreciation (...and platonic relations are highly underrated.)

Can't stand a lot of the ships in this fandom. Among them being C*nvin as it's outright delusional to think they could ever be attracted to each other with the personality clash. I know I'll turn a lot of ppl off by saying that -- aside from those who already hate me -- but idgaf. It's the truth. There's a reason why Reed900 works and C*nvin doesn't. The difference is that Niner is canonically described as the opposite of Con: "not likable, not sweet, but intimidating and scary."

My NOTP for them

Uhhhhh, the biggest NOTPs for me in this fandom revolves around relationship involving GR, so.... Hankvin. I'm nothing if not predictable.

My BROTP for them

Hmmmmm, mainly i see Connor and Hank as a Brotp, but my opinions these days now skew a little more in the romantic direction for them. But other than that, I've always loved the thought of Markus and Hank being bros. I know in my heart they'd be buddies, I just know it.

My OTP for them

Look, I LOVE me some Hankrose. Two of my favourite human characters in the game in a relationship??? Hell yeah. I've talked about this before but I just think they'd get on like a house on fire, they both experienced a deep personal loss and by the end of the game they're both pro-android!!! I totally see them somehow meeting through Jericho/New Jericho and it going from there.

My second choice pairing for them

Look, the obvious answer here is Hankcon, but I'm actually going to go with Hankus. And this is almost entirely your fault, Dean. They'd be one of those super chill couples, no drama, no jealousy, just them having a good time listening to music, sharing book opinions, cuddling and vibing. I'm absolutely here for it and god knows they both need a little chill in their lives.

My fluffy pairing for them

Hankrose, Hankcon and Hankus all have fluff potential lbh

My angsty pairing for them

Hankcon can be pretty angsty yeah? I mean look at their interactions in the game, there's so much angst right there already!!

My favourite poly ship for them

How can I not say hankconkus? Honestly. And I absolutely see it as a hinge thing (wonder where I got that idea) that starts off as Connor dating both Hank and Markus then the more the two of them hang out, they more they realise that 'hey, I actually really like this other person, maybe it can be more' and it tentatively growing from there.

My weirdest pairing for them

I don't have one for him, I don't think, weird is relative though, right????

I am SO here for the HankxRose ship SO hard

Do you wanna know why?

BECAUSE:

Imagine a scenario in which Rose and Hank meet via Connor (she becomes involved in organising some human efforts for the androids post-revolution or something) and we all know already that Rose is THE sweetest Mom/Mom-friend™ in all of Michigan. So of course Connor is smitten with her kindness and Mom-Energy and starts comming to her for life advice and wisdoms like many other androids.

(I almost asked you about rk1k but I think we both know the answer to that one 👀😂)

Imma do both! (also rk1k is the obvious one 🤣😂🤣)

Hankrose!!! I really, really love this ship! And there needs to be more of it! Honestly, I think they would mesh so well together. They both are pro-android and know deep personal loss. I imagine it would be quite a few years post-revolution but yeah. Love them!

Okay, so in theory I should really love Connorth, I adore both Connor and North so, so much. But ah, every time I see them I'm just like 'but Markus should be with either of them!' because I ship him with both of them a lot. I think my brain automatically interprets them being together as 'Markus is dead' and my heart just does not like that. I don't even know if that makes sense lol. But as a ship? Nah, I don't hate it, not at all. It's a good, good ship. Conorkus is where it's at tho.
