sleep well- i know you need it.

hey, chip, do you have those gloves on you?

So, recently, I asked you guys to send me some of your muddy thoughts about Connor. One of the comments I received on that post was this from @bluegutsfreak :

And now I want to discuss it further because I love getting into the meta of android biology and world building around androids in general.

So, as I’ve said before, I HC that all liquids in an androids body are thirium based. However, things like saliva and other synthetic excretions humans come into contact with regularly probably have a much lower concentration of the actual thirium itself than the compound that is thirium is 310 (which means that there are many ingredients in the compound, thirium is simply the active one). The reason that these bodily fluids that humans come in contact with likely have a lesser concentration is because it is canonically the case that thirium is poisonous to humans. However, even trace amounts likely still have the capacity to affect humans in some way. Just like in real life, certain intoxicating things, like alcohol or drugs, are technically poisonous to humans but not inherently deadly. This is why it’s called intoxication.

We know that thirium is the active ingredient in red ice — so we know that thirium does have the capacity to intoxicate humans.

So anyway, I personally like this headcanon and will be employing it in my fics going further.

But, are you convinced?

I don't know that I've seen anyone else ever mention this, but thirium being part of Red Ice is kind of just a bit creepy, actually - or at least, kind of weird.

I'm not sure what Quantic was going for with this, but the idea that the same stuff that helps keep androids functioning is also inside a potent drug in the Detroit: Become Human universe is kind of intriguing and raises a lot of questions about what the manufacturers of Red Ice are doing to get that thirium.

Like, do they destroy androids on purpose to get it, or do they just bulk-buy the stuff from Cyberlife through front corporations?

Anyway @planet-poptropica, this is Blue Fire and her counterpart Red Ice!

Red Ice is very manipulative and is assumed to be a hero, and she has a good amount of pull in the government because of Mews. The two hate each other

She lies and fakes to get attention and fame a lot, and tries to convince her counterpart to go evil, since everyone already thinks she's a villain, why not be the best villain anyone's seen?

Also here's just the Red Ice as pulled directly from Blue Fire
