Toppat Week May 15, Favorite Toppat

I was always worried about Oldmin and Thomas after Henry crashed into them with his hamster ball. But I imagine they made a full recovery (and this is a timeline where Henry joins the Toppats, so they didn’t get captured).

A certain android’s birthday.

I think it was a pretty good one.

The android!Charles AU? And Amelia of course XD ~androidcharles

Went and Yonked Amelia’s ref cuz I had to refresh my memory! https://www.tumblr.com/androidcharles/708813778363547648/general-info

Going to rate her first!

Design 9/10

This a quality stick here! Love the headphones and her hair! The design has just a few key details that make her, her! This helps her be unique but also not overly complex.

Lore 9.5/10

Love to see a CopperRight child that fits smoothly into the narrative! Adoption is great but how about adopting a stinky little android child? Lovely execution!

Fit into THSC 8.5/10

While her stick design is adorable and I love how you got her core elements into the stick. She’s a little too unique for a background character. People would see the headphones and the theories would fly! She’d have to be more than a background character and that’s ok.

Now for the AU as a whole. Going to rate this slightly differently than an OC.

Character design 10/10

Everyone is unique and recognizable at a glance. Your marshmallow sticks are also a wonderful way to keep things manageable!

Main character 20/10

CHARLES IS BEST BOY, YES IM BAISED

Spin-off game potential 6/10

While I would love to play this as a spin off, a lot of the story would be lost and that would be a shame of the highest order. It’s best as the lovely ask blog you have crafted!

BAD ROBOT

Location - The Pleroma *c r a c k* CHARLES EVANS: “Hey! No! Bad Robot! You really think you can come in here and act like a person and talk to Gods?” LORE: “My name is Lore, you’ll use it with respect.” LORE: “And there’s no such thing as Gods. Now that we’re done with the pleasantries…shall we begin?”

FRANKENSTEIN’S MONSTER was built by ALIENS to fight the X-MEN??? 👽🤖

[interlagosainz]

half gods are worshipped in wine and flowers, real gods require blood.

Charles Leclerc, official model SF90, is made of pure Italian steel with a tweak of French technology. Apparently, according to all the pages Carlos opens about the Android, he is closer to a divine creation than to a simple human being, as no one seems to find an explanation for his— Well, perfection.

Great, like sudden summer rain in Madrid, it falls down on Carlos.

Charles Leclerc will be his partner.

Alternatively: the most powerful Androids in the word are being killed, and Carlos Sainz is partnered with Charles Leclerc, an impressive Android, to find out who is behind the killings and what are their intentions.

Read it on AO3. ♥︎

I’ve been mean to Charles recently, so he can have a little robot kid

Rupert wanted to name her Barbie (short for barbecue) but was outvoted

Huh, weird, maybe the ISS just went by and made interference or something. I’m not a rocket scientist so I don’t know if that actually happens. But yeah, I know who she is. She has some cool headphones too! I wonder if there’s another headphones android out there. If so then you, À̶̢̛͙͓͚͆̃̓̊͛͐͊̐͘̕͜͝͝m̴̼̳̝̯̲͗͑̀̋̈́̌̃̅̾è̴̛͓̬͙̣͇̖̺̻̫̥̲̓̈́̋̇̎̇̊͂̅̈́̔̾l̴̜̠̯͔̙̙̲̯͕̥̓̓̄̾̆̏̅̋̂͋͗̚͝i̸̺̺͑͂̈͋̓͝a̸͖̖̜̮͓͈͈̹͓̓̽͌͝and the t̷̳͕̋͑̃͋̔̕h̴̬̖͆ͅi̴̺̘̘̽̑̾͛̍̚r̵̭̲̘̄͊̀̓̍̐d̴̻͂͐̌̀̈ ̴̡̃̈́̍g̷̰̿͊̅͛ų̶̅̊ÿ̴̧̮͇͈͊̋̈ could be headphones siblings.

Weird, it happened to me too. Maybe my universe’s ISS also flew overhead just now. Though it has just been raining down here and that always makes the internet go wonky for me.

Uh, what are you talking about? I don't know that person...

Android AU, Part Two

So, who in this AU is an android? Oh boy! Let's talk about it!

Some quick worldbuilding first: I already said that the androids chose their own names and that the teams don't know about this. So, what does the world know them by? This has changed over time. Originally, it was generally by the name of the model - so a Red Bull android, say, the seventh, would be RBAP-7 (Red Bull Android Program Seven). Ferrari have the SFAP line, Mercedes the M-P-AMG? AMG-M-P? But humans are incapable of not naming things, so that got thrown out the window. Now, it's common for an android to have a sort of logo animal (coughhoneybadgercough).

Now, let's get into the meat of this post.

Daniel Ricciardo: Android known as the Honey Badger. Brought in by Red Bull.

Max Verstappen: Human. Second person Daniel trusted with his name. These two get along insanely well, and even though androids don't usually do a lot of marketing work, people clock this.

Seb Vettel: Human. The first person Daniel trusted with his name, after Seb figured out that he was sentient. By 2022 has gotten to know most of the androids on the grid through patience and some trial and error. (It doesn't always go over well when you blindside your teammate with 'sentient?, 'course you are, how's your day going?')

Carlos Sainz: Android from the Red Bull program. Known as Meerkat. (Chose this one because he's said a couple times that it's his favorite animal. Also big eyes go stareeeee.)

Charles Leclerc: Android from the Ferrari program that debuted with Sauber. Known as Mouse. He does tell Seb his name while they are teammates, though it takes him a good long while.

Quick sidenote here: I've gone the combo route with the androids. They do have hardware (Ultralight skeletons and insanely fast processing most notably), but wetware is a big component, because it's lighter. So their musculature and external appearance is quite within the norm. Long way to say, C2 are still the 'This is Charles. Charles loves his personal space. This is Carlos. Carlos also loves Charles's personal space' meme, Mediterranean limpets that they are.

Lando Norris: Human. Knows about Carlos's sentience, and by extension has put together that the androids on track are hiding this from most everyone involved in the travelling circus. Puts his foot in his mouth with this a bit, early on with Daniel, who was not expecting Lando to cotton on to this.

As a matter of fact, the 2019 season was notable for all three rookies being human. This doesn't stop rumors from cropping up the way they tend to about 'x driver is secretly an android', usually targeted at George.

Fernando Alonso: Android. Goes by his name. The old man war criminal we all love. Delights in baffling people, and it's extremely common for f1 newbies to just assume he's just a Dude. (That doesn't sound like it might come up when people start discussing android sentience openly, not at all...)

Other human drivers: Lance Stroll, Esteban Ocon, Kimi Raikonnen, Oscar Piastri, Valterri Bottas, Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg, Alex Albon.

Other android drivers: Yuki Tsunoda, Pierre Gasly, Logan Sargeant (Not relevant to the story at all, I think), Nicholas Latifi.

A note on team principals: Christian Horner Knows. Never says anything, but he Knows. Toto Wolff would know, but none of the Mercedes drivers are androids. Mattia Binotto does not know, and it's probably a good thing he doesn't.
