Canonically, there are no relationships in my main AU because they'd be out of place. The Loonatics are dealing with enough chaos in my AU, they have no time for relationships lol.

However, I do like to portray AceTech as a non-canon side thing in an alternate-alternate universe.

I’m gonna be completely honest, my initial pairing of them together was completely random. In fact, I thought of the pairing of them before I even started watching the show just from thinking of possible character dynamics, same with Slam x Audi, Danger x Rev, Tech x Audi, but Tech x Ace just kinda stuck the most because they’re so opposites attract, which is like, my thing in literally every single fandom I’m in. Like, predator x prey, extrovert x introvert, leader x follower, it’s just so perfect … & their green/yellow color scheme is sooo cute & just adds to the appeal for me. 

I especially love their little interactions in the show, when Ace is always complimenting Tech’s inventions, when Tech calls Ace chief, when Ace challenges Tech’s technological prowess, & the things that literally nobody who isn’t me would care about, like Ace winking at Tech in The World is My Circus, Ace pulling Tech away from Sypher in Sypher, Ace’s voice softening when he’s talking to Tech in Stop The World, I Want To Get Off & Tech smiling at him right after, :((

Like, the thought of Tech being someone who could genuinely get Ace to behave vulnerably for once is just so precious to me, especially since that is my main issue with Ace’s character. I feel like they could compliment each other in general in a way that’s not TOO contrasting like some other ships… Like, Ace seems to actually understand Tech’s scientific lingo, but would just rather simplify it rather than theatricalize it, which is really silly & adds some cute banter for them. 

The other day my class watched a video on PBS about teens who are growing up with the internet available to them.  The video gives a young person's view on the ability to use the internet to search and find anything that they want and to be able to make new friends as well as communicate with old ones.  However, there was also a teacher that explained how with these new dodads and devices she didn't want to be a teacher anymore because she was so used to the way that things were. I was not able to watch the entire program but from what I saw and heard I feel that I am in accord with the teens. I am fortunate enough to have been able to use the internet from the start of my middle school days and I believe that thanks to the internet I have truly had it easier than anyone who came along who didn't have the internet.

 I do have one gripe about the video and it has to do with that teacher that couldn't adjust to the new age technology.  The internet is here to stay and even if a teacher may be used to teaching the old fashion way, in order to keep up with the times that teacher has to find a way to incorporate technology into the class, and must find a way to overcome the dreaded "copy" and "paste" as well as the websites that just give answers to homework questions.  Speaking of which, I feel that this may be the only problem with the internet when it comes to school work. A student can easily type in their questions on a search engine such as Google and with no problem find the answers without even trying to use their brains. At this point the internet is a huge hindrance, but the benefit of searching and researching from the internet overcomes this hindrance.

The video also gave insight on how some teens use the internet to make a persona so that they can have friends online, something that I had done in the past, and actually still have my alias. One of the saddest moments, however, in the video was the young man who killed himself because he was bullied both online and offline. Many teens face this today, but the way to overcome these bullies is to tell someone, no one can help unless you ask for it. What's more is that if the people that are bullying you online are from the same school as you, then if you make someone aware of all that they are doing, someone can stop this person, or group of people, from their heinous actions.
