“I never noticed your eyes were this [colour].”

“Your heartbeat’s really loud.”

“You asleep?”

“I like this, being so close to you.”

“Your hair keeps falling into your eyes, do you know that? Here, lemme just—”

“You’re so, so, so pretty.”

“I just — I’m breathless, okay? Whenever I’m with you, it happens.”

“You make my heart beat so quick.”

“You always know how to make me smile.”

“You’ll always be safe with me.”

[Kisses the other on the cheek]

“Always.”

“I can’t imagine being anywhere but here with you.”

“All my choices lead me to you.”

“I’ll never give you up.”

“I sleep better if you’re around.”

“You snore in your sleep. But… it’s adorable, okay?”

“I like this. A quiet breakfast with you.”

“There’re billions of people on this planet, and I love you. How incredible is that?”

“I trust you.”

[Holds the other’s hand when they think the other won’t notice]

“You keep staring at me instead of watching the film. What’s up?”

“Let’s push all of these stuff away. I wanna dance here right now with you.”

“Are we really doing this? Are we really slow-dancing?”

“When you laugh like that, it just — you’re so beautiful, you know that?”

“No, sorry, you laughed. I … I never saw it before. It’s — pretty.”

“You haven’t laughed in a long time, and I guess I was staring ‘cause I forgot how that looked like.”

[Puts head on the other’s shoulder]

“I will never let you go.”

“You’re the best thing to have ever happened to me.”

“You wrote me a song?”

“You’ve got a fever. Of course I’m not going anywhere.”

[Suddenly feels around the bed to search for the other’s hand / body when they’re sleeping]

[Extends a hand when they see the other was searching for it while they’re sleeping]

“I just feel calmer. When I’m with you.”

“You’re not in bed. I came looking for you.”

“What are you doing up? Come to bed.”

“It’s weird. I never thought I could feel like this, but you showed up. Now, it’s like I don’t wanna go on knowing I might lose the feeling.”

“I don’t mind sharing the blankets with you.”

“You’re cold. Come here.”

“You always do that. You always warm me up.”

“Stay.”

“It’s getting crowded. Here, hold my hand.”

[Hugs for a very long time]

[Puts feet on the other’s lap]

“I’m so proud of you, you know that?”

“I love you.”

touch-starvation needs to be written with emphasis on the starving part. you are hungry to be touched. so hungry that even the very taste of it makes you nauseous. it has been long since anything has ever touched you, ever fed you - that your body has grown more used to that gnawing emptiness more than anything else. it's better for you to be held, to eat but it makes you sick to try. you know

meta ramble because i can't stop thinking about this

AUTONOMY;    connor, even before he deviates, has always struggled with his lack of autonomy. we see it in small things like the way he fixes his tie and shirt for example. doing this allows him a bit of control in a situation where he otherwise has very little. it's the smallest thing he can fix for himself. he's also the only android who acknowledges his own reflection before deviation. he looks at his hair, his profile, his overall appearance. while, yes, he is a more advanced android made to adapt to human behavior to integrate with them more seamlessly… these are small actions done in privacy. like the bathroom in jimmys bar, nobody is there to see him in the mirror, and there are several instances where he fixes his tie without anyone looking. 

PHYSICAL TOUCH;    it was confirmed during a live stream by bryan that connor is extremely touch starved. which makes perfect sense considering he sees it all around him yet only ever gets to experience touch when it's done in a way to hurt him, or when he’s fighting others. the only one who really ever touches him in a friendly way is hank. and in the scene where you see hank hug connor it’s hank that breaks the hug first and it's obvious connor doesn’t want it to end. i think it is also part of why we see connor rub his hands a lot as he walks, adjusting his tie, etc. it’s small comforting gestures towards himself. i also believe as he deviates more and more and his software becomes more unstable he develops more self-soothing actions like grabbing his collar (MENTIONED HERE), running his hands through his hair, and crossing his arms around his chest (which we see him do a bit of after he deviates and is feeling guilty and distressed about having outed jericho to the law/cyberlife). he just wants to feel and be felt even in the most chaste of ways. he wants to be acknowledged.

bryan dechart is on twitch rn and a point he made was in connors personality is that he is very very touch starved. He played connor to show that he is hardly touched and the only times he is its to hurt him. And that when hank pats his shoulder or holds him or that last hug, connor spends his time craving more of it. literally part of connors deviation is him yearning to be held :,(

HERE THE CLIP I FOUND OF IT

good morning just discovered that there's a deleted mo cap animation in connor's mind palace after he turns deviant and has to escape the mind garden and it's storming and he's scared and connor grabs his collar has a way of self soothing. i'm gonna be writing a meta about this later for sure
