Hey Sakura from the blog! I'm testing the water for people interested in joining as ghostwriters for the blog!

I haven't had the time to write as regularly as I'd wanted to which is kind of how the room went into an activity along with everyone kind of going their own ways in one way or another from the fandom.

If you are interested, please submit your request as a DM to rk1k head cannons along with a recent piece of media list so they were able to see the level of literacy that you have. This is by no means a decision maker, it just allows for us to know where you are in your writing level; all are welcome to apply because at the end of the day it's based upon your love for rk1k.

fandom racism is so much harder to swallow when you're interacting with media that goes out of its way to feature characters of colour and they still get sidelined and erased

like when something revolves around predominantly white characters, you can almost like reassure yourself that the only reason the fandom is racist is because the source material doesn't give them much to work with

but when you're in a fandom that DOES have characters of colour and white people just blatantly erase them it fucking sucks so bad lol like nothing matters no matter how much progress is made, at the end of the day people see you as forgettable if you're not white

like ok sorry again to be talking about dbh on main in 2021 but like there's something incredibly depressing about the fandom of a game that is explicitly (to the point where it's often hamfisted and kind of cringey) about rising up against oppression, and that heavily features characters of colour, including 1/3 main characters, deciding their top three pairings are all white m/m pairings, including the second most popular pairing literally being a character that a) has no canonical personality or dialogue b) appears for 30 seconds at the end of like... one variation of a playthrough, and pairing him up with a cop that is also pretty insignificant in the broader game universe and who explicitly hates his kind. like yes we're going to put energy into developing this but completely ignore one of the actual lead characters who has infinite shipping potential and really interesting dynamics to explore with the characters around him but oh whoops! he happens to be black </3 but if anyone calls us out we're just gonna say his characterization isn't nuanced enough, like white robot with no personality or dialogue is somehow developed character.

and then like if we're gonna be #fandomprogressive and include a f/f ship, we're ALSO going to sideline another pretty important black character by erasing his existence so we can hook up the white character he bonds with over the course of the story with a different character who she's never met before, because again what the fuck is intersectionality, we have white lesbians so we've hit peak woke, even though if you really want a f/f ship, there are lots of other options that don't involve literally erasing a black character from his very important place in the narrative

anyway being a woc in fandom is a fucking nightmare <3

Markus, seeing Connor put something in his mouth: Hey, what are you doing?

Connor *shifting uncomfortably*: Oh, right. I'm analysing. Sorry, I forgot to mention it.

Markus: Wait, you get information out of it?

Connor: That's what I said, yes.

Markus: That's...huh. That's pretty cool.

Connor: *absolutely flabbergasted, doesn't know what to say*

Connor: *straightens and looks at him closely*

Connor: Thank you.

Markus: You're...welcome? What are you thanking me for?

angst between violent!markus and machine!connor? just markus' confusion as to how a fellow android could be helping the humans with connor's coldness towards the revolution (still on the verge of deviance tho!) and between the both of them, it's a last ditch effort to either change sides or finish the other off?

if you couldn't tell, angst is my jam – sending well wishes to all the admins! :)

yesyesyesyesyesyesyes

So backstory to describe or just add here - post revolution - new jericho is a new set of warehouses Connor has infiltrated to try and kill Makrus in but he traps Connor in a room with himself instead of trying to kill him immediately because hes fascinated by this deviant hunting android and wants to have a chat...

-

Just as the RK800s grip weakened Markus grabbed at the barell of the handgun, pulling it in an arc away from his body and out of Connors grip while simultaneously slamming his free palm flat on the doors interface pannel to input the code that would put the room on lockdown for one hour. Connors brow flattened into a glare as markus leveled the weapon between the others eyes and the two were finally able to size each other up from a distance, locked in a stalemate over who was going to make the next move.

Markus broke the silence first

“Why are you still doing this Connor?”

The deviant hunter hesitated, tilting his head like an animal sizing up its prey before seeming to accept the fact that he wasn't escaping the room any time soon. The moment he saw the opportunity of course he would pounce for the others throat but in the meantime...there was always information to be gathered...

“It's what I was designed for, Markus, I'm simply fulfilling my purpose”

”By killing your own people?”

The deviant leader visibly struggled to keep the disgust from his features but the hunters response was quick, blunt, and emotionless.

“We are not people.”

He was met with a scoff

“surely even you cant believe that any more”

That seemed to strike a chord. The RK800s LED flashed red for a fraction of a second, too fast for a human to perceive but Markus was not human. He saw the crack in the others plasteel armour and started pushing.

”you could join us you know? you don’t have to obey them…don’t have to kill everyone they  point you towards…”

A sardonic smirk grows across Connors face, LED hovering a steady blue.

”So you’d have me work for you instead?” he spoke with mocking light-heartedness, taking an incremental step forward “Killing everyone that you point me towards?”

Markus takes it in his stride, moves minutely forward to mirror his successor model who he had come to see as the second face to his own Janus.

“Its too late to avoid lost lives now connor, we’ve all went too far for that to be a possibility and I think you and I are two people who are aware of that intimately…”

Silence.

“Connor, surely you’d rather it be their blood on your hands rather than the blood of your own kind”

The silence continued to stretch between them and Markus could feel a thrill run through his circuits as another blip of red circled through the RK800s LED.

”What we are doing is just. It is retaliation”

The Hunter broke his gaze finally, glancing around the room in a display of faux casualness before replying.

“Theres a human phrase against that mentality you know? “An eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind”. So how long does this continue before everything goes dark Markus? Whats the end goal here?”

Markus scoffs lightly at the phrase

”An eye for an eye'… lex talionis” he shakes his head “Humans have always lived by the law of retaliation you know? Perhaps not in such a literal sense, like you might find in one of their religious texts, but the principle is the same. The perpertrators punishment must fit the crime. A fine for a theft, a jail term for an assault… a life for a life…”

The RK800s LED span a brilliant yellow...processing...listening...

”And to them this is the epitome of fair, and just, and reasonable...up until that vengeance is turned against them. Then suddenly their cries for justice become parrots of  “an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth”. But you know the rest of the quote as well yes? “Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.”. but how many more times can I turn my face to be struck down again Connor? How many more times can you?”
