The Apocalypses

This is an archive of an essay I wrote on my substack in October 2023.

This month’s newsletter/essay collects my thoughts on the “apocalypse” as dehumanization; it is the ethos of my October group show, Offworlds, with YveYANG Gallery and my painting Beastwoman.

Introduction to The End

The “apocalypse” is an idea coveted and fantasized since humans became humans, stepping out of the primordial water from tiktaalik to monkey to man. Or something like that.

The end of the world has happened over and over again. Every day there is a new catastrophe, and every epoch is defined by the atrocities that have birthed and ended it. Take, for example, the dinosaurs— how much modern humanity wonders about the glint of a scaled beast’s eyes as it looks upon a bright white light, a harbinger of certain doom. Do you think a dinosaur has a sense that it will die? That its lineage will not survive the coming eons? Or does the beast stare at the comet in pure, sublime… unknowingness? These are questions humanity projects onto the beasts because we naturally empathize with death, with fossils, and with bones.

(above): The meteor landed in the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico over 66 million years ago. This rendition depicts its size against downtown Manhattan.

Another bright white light is featured in another apocalypse, that being the Christian Apocalypse— the bright glow of angels falling from the sky and the cacophony of trumpets heralded the arrival of end times. These details of the Book of Revelations are extremely fascinating, especially if you delve into the story’s great symbolism. For Ancient Christians, the Apocalypse represented the death and oppression of Christianity during the reign of the cruel Emperor Nero; for example, Biblical scholars argue that the Mark of the Beast (666) is actually a code that could be derived through gematria (the system of assigning numerical values to letters). By converting Nero’s name into numbers and then into a sum, it would create the number “666”. This, paired with the Revelations 13:17:

that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark or the name of the beast or the number of his name.

In conclusion, the “end of the world” concerns the loss of Humanity and the transformation of the human into the non-human. Some tropes include humans becoming machines, humans being replaced by beasts, or conversely, humans without an Earth or home. This is a perfect segue into discussing my painting Beastwoman.

(above): One of my favorite video games, NieR: Automata, is set in a deeply melancholic, far-future post-apocalyptic world where android women fight toy-like machines to preserve the leftovers of humanity. See below for the overworld music for the first area, “City Ruins.”

Offworlds

Beastwoman is currently on view (through December 2, 2023) at YveYANG Gallery, in Offworlds which is an exhibition exploring the apocalypse from an Asian femme perspective. I highly recommend clicking on the hyperlink to read the press release, as well as acknowledging all the amazing Asian women artists who have worked on this show. 

(above): Offworlds is curated by Danni Shen. Beastwoman, oil on canvas, 30” x 40”, 2023.

In creating Beastwoman, I was mainly concerned with the apocalypse as the loss of humanity. Not in a great cataclysmic event, but rather in the appearance of the non-human; I am interested in the “in-between” of man and beast. This notion is deeply political, particularly in the United States.

For white supremacists, the end of the world may be when the “human” (the civilized cis-het white person) becomes the “beast” (the savage non-white and/or queer person). This apocalypse is at the very core of the Great Replacement theory, a fascist belief that miscegenation would cause the white race to be bred out. It is an ideological offspring of the one-drop rule and various scientific racism and eugenicist movements, which historically classified black, indigenous, Asian, and other non-"white” people as animals in a separate genus from the White man. I write this in quotes because it is important to note that white supremacy is a self-defeating, separatist concept; who claims “whiteness” is ever-changing, as even Benjamin Franklin once described Germans as “too swarthy” to immigrate to the United States.

In Beastwoman, I wanted to explore this “in-between.” In my terminally online brain, a non-human form regularly idolized and adored is the “cat girl,” a trope in anime where cute girls spawn cat ears and tails and meow compulsively. They are typically half-girl/half-cat, but maintain the submissiveness and femininity that makes them heavily fetishized in some internet subcultures (which, by extension, often goes hand-in-hand with a fetish for Asian women).

Left: Wikipe-tan, Wikipedia's personification, as a cat girl; Right: A cosplay photo of Ichigo from the anime Tokyo Mew Mew

The reimagining of the cat girl, a soulless, cutesy vessel that has been coopted and sexualized (as many earlier cat girl media being aimed at young girls) for the pleasure of men, into a “beastwoman” is amusing. If she (no longer half-girl/half-cat, but rather half-woman/half-beast) were to embrace her status as an independent Asian woman, then she would be a herald of an apocalypse for the white supremacist. She is no longer submissively and pleasantly vacant, but rather violent, naked, cannibalistic, and carnal. She has ascended from the fetishistic label of a mere “cat-girl,” into claiming agency for her own self— an animalistic and powerful state of a “beastwoman”.

Absurd, but so is the existence of being an Asian woman… so are the threads that hail doomsday. Beastwoman, the name itself, refers to the history of scientific racism, as Asians and other people of color were classified as beastly and inferior; instead of rejecting its inhuman racist descriptor, Beastwoman leans into it and empowers herself through it. If the submissive Asian woman liberated herself to become the bastion of true power, would the world end? Would we be in hell?

Detail and installation shots.

Acknowledgment

Finally, this statement is regarding the privilege the West (and by extension, myself) has in discussing the apocalypse. For many people, countless real tragedies permeate their land and their children. While some may be able to leave the apocalypse a thing of fantasy or intellectual extrapolation, many do not. It is incredibly important to acknowledge that the crux of the apocalypse (extinction, genocide, loss of land) is a brutal reality. The art we make regarding disaster should be sensitive to these various histories, especially in colonized people and lands. I implore all creators and patrons to be keen on this topic.

Short DPXDC Prompts #166

Danny desperately needs to find a host to possess to hide in their subconscious until he’s fully recovered.

He spots a strangely outfitted android and doesn’t think much of it besides “fuck yeah this is perfect!” Before possessing the machine.

Only issue: Danny just possessed an Amazo and the League are actively hunting it. This won’t end well.

[enkisstories]

Morning in the Phillips household, with sandwiches lovingly made by the household android.

Emma: "Where's Daniel?"

John: "Err..."

Emma: "Oh, I see! He's at the workshop to get a new app installed!"

Caroline: "What app would be so complex that Daniel would need to go to the workshop to get it working?"

John: "Err..." *coughs* "It's not the app. More like the, uh, additional equipment required. You see, I got Danny a part time job."

At the same time in Grosse Pointe, where John grew up... Specifically at the Equestrian Center...

Daniel: "You know, Plum, sometimes I cannot help but wonder about our John. Don't tell him I said that, okay? I still love him. It's just... there’s days I wish I was able to tell him NO." (pause) “Sorry. That sounded as if I rejected you.”

Caroline: "You know, John, sometimes I have to wonder..."

John: "Perfect, isn't it? Daniel is so much lighter than a human of the same build, and I swear his reflexes have improved since he plays that online game with Emma. He's the perfect jockey!"

(And with that we finally have Daniel's weight established. It's 45-55 kg.)

DCS HOW TO LOSE A GUY GARDNER IN 10 DAYS no.1 (one shot) • cover art • Amanda Conner [Feb 2024]

Romance is rarely a simple affair—love is almost always followed by some sort of conflict. Whether you're Plastic Man twisting yourself into knots trying to please someone, or the Flash traveling back in time to make a catastrophic 50 first dates perfect, or even a lonely robot who just can't seem to find love unless it's mail from a computer screen, like Red Tornado, love actually is...a pain in the 27 dresses. So in the grand tradition of these dating conundrums a la rom-coms of the '90s and '00s, we are proud to present eight new stories about love and trying to find it in this zany world.

Two characters go on a picnic, get lost, arrive 30 minutes late, hike to the perfect spot and get caught in the rain. But it's ok because they're together.

Hey, thank you for the prompt! I was excited to work on this one because it fit Ash and Dan perfectly 😁

Tagging @bloodlessheirbyjacques because this is “Ash” Will, the amnesiac version of him in Bluebrook before he gets to Paradise. Dante gets to meet him as Ash first, so this is just what his life is like before then. I don’t know, I’m rambling 🤣 sorry

“What’s that one?”

Dan pointed excitedly at a cluster of large blue flowers, spiraling upwards from the ground. It was clearly mutated by radiation, Ash could tell, but he knew the cone-shape and color well, from a memory he hadn’t been able to decipher.

“Campanula rotundifolia,” Ash said. “Bluebells.”

“Bluebells…” Dan’s eyes flickered as he went through the new database Miles had installed after his repairs. “Symbol of humility, gratitude, and everlasting love.”

Ash smiled. “You got it. That’s why I love them so much.”

Dan traced his plastic finger over the petals, smiled to himself, and picked one of the smaller flowers to give to Ash.

“It suits you,” he said.

“Danny,” Ash whined as he pulled his hat over his eyes.

Dan’s voice box crackled as he laughed. It needed to be replaced soon, but Ash found the sound quite comforting. With the flower and picnic basket in hand, he led Dan up a large hill towards their special spot. The climb was much sturdier this time, barely any rocks to climb over. Ash didn’t understand why until Dan grabbed his shoulder.

“Is this the right way?”

His pulse quickened. No, Ash thought, please not this. I can’t forget this. Dan felt him shiver under his hand.

“Hey, it’s okay. We can retrace our steps, or I can call Miles—”

“That’s not the problem, Danny.” He pulled his hair. “I’m getting worse. I won’t remember how to get home, at this rate.”

Dan pulled him into his shoulder and silently waited for him to calm down. They both knew his memory problems would be troublesome for their relationship, especially if Miles and Page couldn’t fix whatever had damaged his brain. Ash didn’t want to forget Dan, he couldn’t stand the idea of it. Without that friendly, curious android, he had nothing left in his life.

“Here,” Dan said, “let’s just find a place to sit and eat.”

Ash let him set up their place under a tree, with a decent view of the lake on the horizon. It was beautiful, aside from the dark clouds emerging from the south. Dan sucked the electricity out of some batteries, while Ash quietly snacked on a piece of bread. Despite not having lungs, Dan let out a sigh.

“Please,” he said, “don’t beat yourself up about it.”

“I just don’t get why you stick around.”

Dan squeezed his hand. “Because you’re kind, and you’re patient with me. I could listen to you talk about plants forever.”

“Seriously?”

“Of course, Ashie. You’re the most interesting person I’ve ever met.”

“Doctor Beaumont is a vampire.”

“Well, I’m not in love with Doctor Beaumont.”

Ash’s eyes sparkled. “You… love me?”

Dan smiled. “Absolutely.”

“Danny, I—”

Something rumbled in the distance, and Ash felt the first drop of rain on his hand.

“Shit!” Dan yelled.

He hadn’t dressed with rain in mind. Miles had left parts of the circuitry in his head exposed, so his system would fry like salmon if he got wet. That’s why Ash always brought his hooded jacket for him. He swooped in and bundled the android up, letting the rain soak his golden hair. Dan couldn’t take his eyes off of him.

“What’s wrong?” Ash asked.

“Forgetful or not, you’re the sweetest guy in the world.”

Ash smiled as the color rose in his cheeks. “I love you, Danny.”

Dan brought him down for a kiss, cold against warm, plastic against flesh. No storm or forgotten trail could ruin this moment for them. All that truly mattered, all that would continue to matter, was how happy they made each other. As long as Ash could remain selfless and patient, then he and Dan would be just fine.

Gilgamesh: Oh, you drew a new picture?

Peter: This is original from Maru and Moro again? Why do I feel like it's not?

Punch: Because this report didn't direct to Maru and Moro but from my story and from Mokona.

Gilgamesh: About Syaoran, Peter and Danny, who choice to save one precious to save many lives.

Punch: Include Sonic.....even Sonic....

Note(Source): Syaoran and Peter are different from Punch and Sonic. Syaoran and Peter share the same existence and the same hearts, but you still can tell the difference between them. But Punch and Sonic are the same as I wrote in Some things are beautiful because they cannot be obtained 1(Tsofph Concept ).

*Flashback*

Sonic: Since I was born....as my blood or my kind..... it had been nothing but a curse before that golden king and I got a curse of death. If I ever started to forget, something would remind me of what I was, and bring me crashing back down to the mission that god Tsubasa gave to us.

Tsofph Season 11(Chapter2 Shadow Path)

Punch: Syaoran.....you did know, right? Sonic's not a living being unlike any others. He's very dangerous.....just like that doctor told you long ago. Sonic's just a container. Sonic awoke for the first time, he had lived as a doll until he began to create his personality by himself and desired to live. No more than emptiness, the nothingness. Just like me and Mr Gilgamesh used to be. We.....three of us were different in the past. You could say we're very much like Enkidu in the past. We're extremely dangerous to both light and darkness.

Syaoran: What are you trying to say?

Punch: Sonic at first didn't have our memories....our dreams and even his own heart. Sonic knew from his heart that he never belonged to this world even us. If you want Sonic, Sonic need to be initialized again.

Syaoran: What.....?

Punch: If you want Sonic to live a life like a normal being, he has no choice but to initiate again. If Sonic does that, Sonic won't be himself anymore.

Syaoran: Because of this mission.....your mission...make Sonic's case to exist.....so Sonic be able to move even his feelings because......

Punch: Both me and Mr Gilgamesh exist.....

Syaoran: ...................!!

Punch: Sonic can't be his own without us. If something not human, animals, aliens or lives that allow to exist including an android and robot, then it would be considered sentient "alive" just like a normal being. If we are the same as those, it would be wrong to call Love. Even knowing that.... do you still love my brother, Sonic? Despite already hearing from me when I betrayed your friends and your trust....I did tell you to kill Sonic too.

Syaoran: I can't.

Punch: So you won't give all your love for him?

Syaoran: You three are wrong.....that's right.....it's natural to protect the ones you love because you love your one precious that's a part of your life. Even though I've accepted my feelings and I won't lie about my feelings even though King Gilgamesh and Sonic are the same but my feelings won't change....I love Sonic so much that's why I can't accept him to be initialized. He doesn't need to be perfect to be alive in this world. Me too, I'm also not perfect but that's doesn't mean some creatures that not allowed to exist to not be able to call life anymore, that's false!

Punch: Even me, Sonic and Mr Gilgamesh didn't have a right to call being alive?

Syaoran: Yes!

Punch: Even though our hearts and souls are the only cases to exist?

Syaoran: That's not true! Even though you don't exist but I, Peter-san and Danny have all of your beats inside of us! If Sonic looks happy, I am happy. If Sonic looks sad, then I'm sad. Even if his expression isn't real because he didn't understand, I don't care. Even if he is just a program-like robot, I don't care. I didn't fall in love with him because I wanted to give him my love, unlike couples, friends and family…but I won't stop loving him because we couldn't go all the way. I want to make love to him because I love him. I want Sonic to feel that he's alive!

Punch: You gave the same answer, the same meaning as both Peter and Danny.....Before we were just friends, after we're more than friends.....

Peter: If one day is abrupt, maybe I will prepare for you to hate me. For you want to protect someone who is most precious to you. To not regret the path you chose to take. That's how I told Syaoran a very long time ago.....I'm glad he made the same choice as me.

.

Syaoran: Why are you so nice to me? Why do you choose to protect me beside me, King Gilgamesh?

Gilgamesh: Because of your decision, I am alive today. Because choose me against the world, you choose me. You made the same decision just like many lives in the fake world and my people of Uruk.

Syaoran: ................................!!

*End of Flashback*

Punch: Sonic begins to learn more about love than he initially learned from Amy and then doesn't understand. And the person who made Sonic understand love and begin to feel love for someone like a living creature or human being from the beginning when he didn't have any is Syaoran.

Gilgamesh: Both you and Enkidu made the same choice to protect me.

Peter: That's right.

Gilgamesh: Remember what I said, right? If I died like Enkidu, I can go back to Punch Whalen's body. If Punch is killed, he/she will come to stay in my body. We are the only proof that god of the nothingness still exists.

Peter: But Sonic isn't.....

Gilgamesh: As long as neither I nor Punch vanishes, Sonic can live freely by his own free will in this world. And can have all Syaoran's love for him.

Peter: If I become greedy......do you think is the right thing to feel want to protect everyone by our own selfishness.....because of love....because of caring.....we chose to not kill one precious to save many lives. We choice to save one precious to save many lives.

Hint The love That Peter feels(Including Syaoran and Danny too) for Punch and Gilgamesh is the same love as Mikiya Kokutou for Shiki Ryougi. And this is why Peter never left Punch and Gilgamesh alone, he stayed right by her so "she "Punch" wouldn’t feel alone.

Tsofph spoiler below

Peter: It's not fair, I don't care what anybody says! I won't let you die or vanish in front of me again! You can't fight this! We'll fight until the end together. Isn't that what you said to me before?!

Gilgamesh: Even if it should mean....that I'll be the end of everything else too?! What do you expect me to do?! There is no other way!

Peter: But there still was, right?

Chapter 36 -  Running away is easy, Its the leaving that's hard

It had almost been two weeks since you last saw Connor and Collin. It had been tough, to say the least, you missed them like crazy. You would constantly check your phone for messages that would never come. Perhaps it didn’t take them long at all to forget about you. You couldn’t let yourself get too upset about it though, this was your decision. Maybe it was easier for them to keep their distance. It would probably work out better this way in the end.

Danny was right when he said that life in the settlement wasn't going to be glamorous, it was hard work, something you weren’t used to, coming from living cushy in a penthouse. You mostly helped out with farming the land and tending to the chickens, feeding them, cleaning out their coop, collecting eggs, etc. You also got stuck with the job of babysitting some kids from time to time. It was good to keep busy though, to keep your mind away from androids.

When you had free time, you spent it mostly with Emily, catching up, attempting to look after her, although insisted she didn’t need the fuss.

You had been staying in Emily’s shack, it was just you her and her cat Pepper, but you made a good little family. You wondered whatever happened to the father of Emily’s child, she didn’t want to talk about him too much, whoever he was. She’d just say he was away.

You didn’t want to push her but your overbearing curiosity would not sit at peace. Some other ladies around the settlement had told you he had been taken by androids.

What Emily did tell you about the child’s father was that his name was James and he was the one that saved her from the adoption centre. Well, he’d been one of the humans in the midst of the one of the riots in the city who also happened to help some of the humans escape the centre.

“Took down two androids right in front of my eyes, that how I knew he was the one.” She laughed.  

“He took down two androids? On his own?” You spluttered out, not believing her.

“Yeah, with one of these,” Emily smirked handing you over a baton.

Taking it in your hand you examine it, slightly confused until you see a button near the bottom. “Is this one of the electric ones the cops use?”

“Yep, can take out an android with a few quick buzzes.” She points her chin at you and smiles. “That’s my man, always got the good weapons.”

“I’m quite surprised you settled on a man honestly.” You smirked, “Last time I saw you, you were giving puppy dog eyes to Olivia.” You cock your head to the side, raising your eyebrows.

“Yeah, I did have a thing for her, until she got adopted and you know. Kinda couldn’t see her anymore.”

“Liv got adopted?”

“Yeah.” Emily shrugged plainly and looked away.

“I’m sorry Emily.” You reach out your hand to touch hers.

“Why are you sorry?” She shakes her head, pulling her hand away from yours to rest on her baby bump.

“It just must have been lonely for you, without me and Liv.” You bite at the broken skin on your bottom lip.

“Yeah it was a bit, but then I met James.” She smiled a little but it faded fast. “He’ll come back you know.” She said quickly, more telling it as a way to convince herself, rather than you.

You nod back to her, not wanting to hurt your friend. “Of course Emily.”

Her hand wipes at her eye a little. “Best be getting to bed.” She stands to her feet. “You should as well” she smiles placing her hand on your shoulder.

“That’s probably a good idea.” You nod. “Big day tomorrow.”

___

You woke to the sun shining through the thin material of your makeshift curtain, with a rub of your eyes and a quick stretch you were up to start your day. Making breakfast for yourself and Emily was first on the list and then feeding Emily’s cat Pepper was second. The next few hours would be spent outside on the farm tending to some of the plants and vegetables, you would do this until lunchtime when you would have a quick bite to eat and then on to the ‘town’ meeting, a quick impromptu one that had been called by Danny.

They had received word from another settlement, one not too far from them that they would aid them in their next city raid.

“City raid?” You whispered to Emily, not understanding what he had meant.

“Yeah, we’d been planning this one for a while.” She whispers back quickly. “It’s how we get more weapons, people, stuff like that.”

“Does Connor know you guys have been doing this?” You ask.

“No. but he doesn’t need to know.” She shrugs. “We send our doughboys out with masks anyway.”

“Doughboys?” You asked even more confused than before.

“Yeah, our fighters.” She snaps as she furrows her brows. “Don’t you listen?” realising how quick she was with you she apologises “Sorry, I forgot that you’re still new around here. We call our ‘recruits’” she says with parenthesis. “Doughboys, and they get shit done. I was one before, well before y’know.” She rubs her bump.

“Never pegged you as a fighter.”

“Well, I guess there’s a lot you don’t know about me then.” She laughs.

“Ladies,” Danny calls Emily and your attention back to him.

“This time it’s going to be the big one.” Danny looks around at everyone’s faces. “There are people from other settlements in the city as we speak. It’s almost our time to join them. Three days. Three more days!” His weathered hand hits the table he was standing in front of. “And we're getting our boys back.”

You notice Emily nod to Danny, her lip wobbles as she turns to you.

“James.” she half-smiles half whimpers as her hand grabs yours.

You give her hand a tight squeeze and whisper a silent prayer that they will indeed find him alive and well.

As the day goes on most of the camp seems in a mixture of excitement and fear about the upcoming raid.

The ‘Doughboys’ as Emily called them, coordinating their plan of attack, parents ensuring their children that everything will work out, farmers, bakers, and medics in a tizzy to prepare the needed supplies.

As the evening settles in you begin to worry for Emily, what if they can’t find James? what if he’s not even alive?

Poor Emily has been through so much. She doesn’t deserve any more grief.

A part of you wants to tell her to not get her hopes up but saying that would be cruel. You just nod along and try to keep her comfortable. After dinner Emily ends up falling asleep on the recliner chair she had been sitting on. As you wrap a blanket over her shoulders you realise that you're almost out of firewood and the fire its self is beginning to dwindle down.

Grabbing one of Emily’s cloaks from a hanger, you drape it over your shoulders before heading out on your quest to seek out more wood.

Wooden logs were usually kept in an area just west of the settlement, it was a little walk through the trees but not too far. You usually preferred going out when it was brighter. The light from your phone only made the place look creepier. The quietness of the area didn’t help either, if it wasn’t for the noises made by nearby animals the place would be downright eerie. At least you could still see the warm glow of the settlement in the distance through the trees.  

You knelt down on dry dirt to pick up some of the logs from the bottom of the pile to put in the wicker basket that you had brought with you. After you make your selection you stand back to your feet and dust off the dirt of your clothes. Just as you are about to reach down for your basket again you are abruptly stopped by a large hand being placed over your mouth as well as an arm wrapping around your front holding both your arms in place so that you cannot struggle from the grasp. You try to wrestle your way out of the grasp in a fit of fear but a familiar voice sends you into shock.

“Please calm down.”

Is that?

Your body is frozen.

“I only grabbed you like this in case you screamed. Sorry, it was a bit abrupt, I know.”

Your heart begins to thump harder in your chest but this time not from fear.

“When I let go, please don’t scream.” The voice pleads.

You manage to nod your head, still, in your state of shock, the hands and arm loosen from you and you try to steady yourself on your feet before turning around.

You take a deep breath as you slowly move on your feet towards the person whose grip you had just been in.

“Richard.” You exhale deeply.

His tongue wets his lip before he attempts to speak, however, you cut him off.

“What are you doing here!? If anyone sees you!” You shout in a whisper at him.

“Look, I know, I know.” He lifts his hands in defence. “I was just lucky that you happened to be out here so I didn't have to go in there.” He gestures his head towards the settlement.

“Don’t dare step foot in there.” Your eyes widen as if he’s gone mad.

“I won’t, I won’t… If you come back.”

“What? No.” You shake your head.

“No?”

“I can’t Richard. I belong here.”

“Y/N, Look at this place. It’s disgusting.” He shakes his head as he scans his eyes across the poorly put together ‘town’. “Surviving on scraps, like an animal. You have a nice home, come back.” He reaches out to hold your hands.

You lift your brows to look up at him, your mouth becoming straight as you shake your head and slowly pull your hands away.

“I can’t, I just can’t.” You pick your basket off the ground and turn to walk away from the android.

“I’ll give you anything!” He shouts out. You turn your head to him.

“I’ll do anything.” He moves towards you again. “Just say the word. Please.”

He reaches his hand towards yours once more, his other caressing your cheek.

“I’ll even help with the rebellion.” He whispers.

“The rebellion?” You look up at him, your face plagued with even more confusion.

“Whatever it is the humans are planning. I can help, I can be of use just, please come back.” He begs his forehead now resting against yours.

“Wha- I don't understand. Why?” You whisper to him, closing your eyes as you press your forehead back against his.

“Because I love you.”

________________________________________________________________

Chapter 37 -  Alrighty Aphrodite

You had entered the settlement on your own again. Going back to your shack, you had to explain the situation to Emily.

“If he can get James back.” She stopped for a minute to steady her breath. “Then I’m on board.”

After a quick hug and farewell, you had a bag packed and you were off.

“I’ll be back.” You said once more to Emily before leaving.

“I know.” She nods.

Richard had been waiting for you just outside the gateway, you had told him to wait there so he wouldn’t spook the residents.

“I can carry that” Richard insist, taking your bag from your hands, before you could say anything he had it thrown over his shoulder. You bite at your lips not really knowing what to say but walking through the forested area with him in silence.

“It’s not too far of a walk to the car,” He said. “I did try to park as close as I could.”

You just nod and continue to walk. After another while of insufferable silence, you finally speak up to him.

“So, is it true?” You turn towards the Android. “Do you really love me?”

His eyes fall to the ground for a moment as he continues on. “Yes.” He fell quiet again for a moment before continuing on. “I think I first began to realise when Collin got in that accident. You stayed with him.” He let out an artificial sigh. “I started to think about if something had happened to you and-” He shrugged.

“It took me a long time to come to grips with my feelings as you could probably tell. I never experience this type of emotion before.”

“Why didn’t you say anything?” You tilt your head attempting to make eye contact, his gaze still avoiding yours as he trudged forward.

“I was an idiot. A scared fool.”

“You are an idiot.” You stop for a minute causing Richard to stop as well, he moves closer to you, to see if you are alright. Taking him by surprise you lean up to press a kiss to his cheek. Richard hums for a second moving away slowly, he looks into your eyes before he tries to kiss your lips.

You however hold your hand out and say “I can't do that, I have boyfriends.” Before walking on.

“Yeah, ones that left you behind.” Richard sighs moving again to walk beside you.

“They did that to protect me.”

“Connor in his twisted reasoning. He probably did it more to protect himself. He is selfish. You have no idea what your leaving has done to Collin.” Richard grumbles.

“So you’re guilt-tripping me now?” You roll your eyes.

“I’m just saying.” Richard grunts, re-adjusting your bag against his back. “Why’d you not bring your suitcase?”

“This is just temporary.” You shrug.

“I see.”

“How’s Connor doing?” You change the subject before Richard tries to convince you to stay forever.

“He’s stressed about all of the attacks that have been happening in the city and he’s stressed because Collins current mental stability is not too fun. I think it would cheer him up to see you.”

“Yeah and he might murder you for bringing me.” You quip back.

“True. I guess we’ll just have to see.” He retorts as you notice Richard’s car parked in the distance. He did park quite close. Something Connor would also be pissed about.

“How did you find me anyway?” You ask the question that’s been on your mind since you first saw him.

“I’m afraid the truth of the matter might unsettle you a little.” He explains as his car beeps at his arrival.

“Go on.” You encourage him. “You can’t stop now.”

“I am one of the most advanced androids in existence.” He explains whilst throwing your bag in the back of his car. He then opens the passenger side door for you to get in. When you do he leans down to your ear to whisper, “I’m everywhere.” And with that, he closes the door.

You sit for a moment in contemplation as he gets into his side of the car to sit down. As he puts his seat belt on you turn to him with confusion on your face. “Did you hack my phone?”

Richard rolls his eyes as he starts up the car. “I was able to tap into the journey history of Connor's vehicle. I knew he was behind all of this.” He begins to explain as his own car sets out.

“When I got to the location of the factory I was able to scan for signs of nearby technology. Your settlement stood out like a beacon. Didn’t take too long for me to tap into some phones that were being used yes, and then I saw you.”

“Can other androids do all that?”

“Not a lot can. And definitely not to the extent that I can. As I say, I’m everywhere. Any piece of technology, I can tap into if I desire so.” Richard explains proudly.

“So, do you ever use it to spy on people?”

“Only if necessary.”

“You ever watch people naked?” You smirk a little.

Richard’s brows furrow as he blushes slightly. “No, I would not do that.”

You burst out in laughter at his defensiveness. “I’m just teasing.”

Richard adjusts his shirt collar in discomfort. “Indeed.” He replies dryly.

You smile and rest your head against the back of the seat.

“You know you can lie in the back if you want, it’s a long drive and you could do with some sleep.”

You swivel your seat around to look at the back seat, assessing it. Swapping your seat with your bag that had been put in the back and lay down on the cool leather.

“You don’t have any blankets do you?” You ask Richard as you attempt to find some level of comfort on the cold seat.

“No, sorry. I can turn the heat up if you like?”

“hmmpf.” You think for a minute. “Isn’t this car self-driving?”

“Yes,” Richard replies, not really sure at what you’re getting at.

“Why don’t you just put in the destination and then come back here and lie with me?”

His LED begins flashing red. “I think Connor would definitely try and kill me if we sleep with each other again.” Richard stammers.

“I wasn’t suggesting we have sex, oh my god!” You smack your hand over your mouth to not laugh.

Richard's face began to turn in cringe, “oh I just thought-”

“I meant so we could cuddle.” You explain, smirk still present on your face.

“Do you think Collin and Connor would be okay with that?”

“I think they’d be angrier if you let me get sick from the cold.” You tease.

“That is a fair point.” Richard raises a brow as he puts in the location for the car to self-drive. When he has it tapped in, he too swivels around in his seat to move to the back with you.

Richard is a little awkward at first as he clumsily shifted to lay down in the backseat with you, eventually pulling you into his chest. The thrum of his thirium pump makes you grin in triumph as he settles his head to rest on top of yours. Richard then changes his body temperature to a comfortable setting so that he could be your personal radiator for the next few hours.

Was this weird? Absolutely. Was this wrong? Maybe. Was this comfortable? YES.

But you allowed yourself the brief comfort of being in Richard's arms, even if it was just for this one night. Maybe you felt like you deserved it, you were entitled to some amount of comfort after all the crap you’ve been through.

A part of you was angry and Collin and Connor for not reaching out, even to send a measly little text message. Your more rational mind told you to drop it, something might have come up, you didn’t know the full story, and maybe it was too hard for them. Although that didn’t stop it from stinging your ego any less.

You managed to drift off to sleep rather quickly, that was one of the benefits from all the hard work you had been up to at the settlement, sleep found you a whole lot quicker. Richard had stayed beside you for the majority of the journey as well, cherishing the feeling of having you in his arms once again. Deciding to himself to never be without this feeling anymore. His face snuck its way between your neck and collar bone to take in your scent and to delicately place his lips against your skin just for a sweet moment of indulgence. He had to wiggle his hips away from yours so you would not awake with his growing hardness against your ass.

Feeling a little guilty for his body’s response he decided to give you some space, sliding his form out from the side, slowly as not to wake you. He couldn’t help but smiling down at how comfortable you seemed as he made his way back to the driver’s seat, the seat still swivelled around to face the back.

Richard did eventually wake you up as the car pulled into the private garage area for the RK’s apartment building.

“We're here, little dove.” He coos to you, brushing his knuckles down the length of your arm.

Your eyes squinted open, feeling blinded by the violently bright fluorescent lights of the garage you had found yourself in. Looking down you had noticed one of Richard's coats had been draped over you. You rubbed your eyes briefly before reaching down to it to hand it over to Richard.

“You put it on.” He insisted, pushing it back towards you. “At least until we get inside. It gets cold in the garage, at least that’s what my sensors tell me.”

You didn’t object you just nodded in silence, still in that groggy half sleep-like state. Throwing the oversized coat onto yourself you open the car door and hop out, Richard grabbing your bag soon follows behind, hand on your shoulder as he directs you towards the elevator.

It felt strange being back in the city, even stranger to see the apartment building again.

When you entered back into your old home, it had felt different somehow, a little bit eerie even. Suppose it didn’t help that most of the lights were off.

“Collin and Connor are both out at the moment.” Richard finally spoke up again, leading you by the shoulder into the dark living room, with a flash of his LED the lights were on.

You squinted again at the harshness of them before Richard had dimmed them to a more pleasing brightness level.

“Why don’t you go and get a nice hot bath and I can put your stuff away.” He awkwardly half-smiles over at you.

“Are you sure?” You ask skittishly.

“Of course.” He tilts his head in confusion, it’s not like having YOU here was any bother to him, he was bloody delighted. “After that, I can go get my brothers?”

“Right now?” You stuttered out the question, fidgeting with the large sleeves of Richard’s coat that you had forgotten to take off.

“Do you want some time before?” Richard asked, head tilting once more, exposing his pale neck to you.

You shook your head and looked back down at your hands. “I don’t know, maybe. It’s not that I don’t want to see them. This is all just a little overwhelming.”

“I understand.” Richard nods. “Just one thing at a time.”

You look up at him once more, catching his cool eyes in a stare, you nod. “A hot bath sounds good.”

On his way out, Gavin was held back by Sophie.

Again the former household android yelled at him how Gavin's boyfriend, Daniel, had stolen her place in the Phillips family's heart.

Gavin: "Are you aware that they did to Danny same as they did to you? Caroline urged John to replace Daniel with a newer model."

Sophie: "Serves him well! It was never his place in the first place!"

Gavin: "Maybe. But Daniel didn't accept getting cast aside. He attacked John with the man's own tablet. The order for the new AP700 was still on screen when it broke."

Sophie: "The tablet broke... But what about John? Was he hurt?"

Gavin: "Yes, and seriously. Poor guy suffered cerebral concussion, went to hospital, was put on painkillers and is still in therapy to this very day."

Sophie: "Oh, no. John... Poor John... A Caroline and little Emma, they must have worried so much!"

Gavin: "You really love the Phillips, do you?"

Sophie: *sobs*

Gavin: "Would you maybe want to chip in on John's still open hospital bill?"

Daniel: "Ey...? Gavin? What the...?"

Sophie: "Yes, of course! And gladly! He's family!"

Daniel: "Are you even earning money here?"

Sophie: "You'd never guess! This junkyard is a gold mine! We were able to fund repairs for all of us and now that these are finished, money KEEPS rolling in. Given time, I could cover the whole bill."

Gavin: "Don't let us stop you, Miss Phillips. Just sign as many of these receipts as you wish. Daniel isn't too eager to pay for the damage he's done, you know. He's way behind with the payments..."

Sophie: "I expected no less from the rat. - There! Signed! All of them!"

Gavin: "Your dedication is admirable, Miss Phillips. Give John and Caroline our regards when next you see them!"

May I say how perfect their expressions in this sequence were?

[thesoulspulse]

Danny Program AU (Star System)

It had taken some convincing but Danny eventually gave in and told Vlad about how they can overshadow computers and such which he had actually never considered before oddly enough. Weeks had passed since Vlad learned that his Danny Program, who he now lovingly refers to as Daniel or “son,” had not only become self aware but absorbed the failed clones ectoplasm to become a ghost. As such he had ghost powers but they were weak, not to mention a large portion of his being was still comprised of code. However Vlad couldn’t help but marvel at what his creation had become.

As long as Vlad turns intangible he is able to touch his son but after time passed it was clear how lonely Daniel was whenever Vlad had to leave or stay tangible to continue working on constructing the perfect temporary android body to house his code until the boy was strong enough to concentrate his ectoplasm into a physical form of his own. In the meantime, while his father was busy Daniel preoccupied himself by learning and storing new memories based on the information Vlad had given him to ‘study’ as well as manipulating his code. Truth be told he had already learned how to do this long before now in order to fill the darkness in the space he had hidden in when Vlad assumed he deleted the original program.

Vlad went out of his way to construct a virtual home for his son within the system of course after learning of his sentience, but sometimes Daniel still retreated to that empty space as a sort of safe haven when he wanted to be alone. It was rare that he wanted to be alone mind you, until one day Vlad learned why his son was being so secretive when Daniel suddenly asked the real Danny to reveal how to enter the system as a ghost the same way he did through DOOMED. That’s how the two boys became friends when Daniel was searching for a way to communicate with him to get help for his father, who didn’t know he even existed as more than just a program until now.

Vlad smiled at his son, who like any child seemed eager to surprise his father, and eventually set his work aside to humor him. Once there he felt unsettled at first by the empty void around them where the only things they could see were themselves, but Daniel held his father’s hand as they walked across the glossy black surface and raised the other as if activating a touch screen. A gasp escaped him when in the blink of an eye almost the entire space was filled with bright green stars and constellation-like connections. Was this...how his son interacted with this digital world? Turning code into star patterns? He supposed it made sense given how Vlad programmed the original Danny Program to have all the same interests as the real one to make the simulation feel more real, such as a fascination with astronomy.

“Son, this is...why it’s beautiful,” Vlad gaped, taking a few steps forward to touch one of the floating lights in wonder, asking, “Did you do all of this yourself?”

“I did,” Daniel replied proudly floating up and summoning light to his hands, explaining thoughtfully, “Everything was so jarring after I was ‘born’ and at first I was so confused and scared. My first instinct was to protect myself by sinking deeper into the system where you couldn’t delete me. But the further I went the emptier it became, darker. As soon as I realized I was made of light here and still had a glow, somehow it spread it out and filled the emptiness like the stars fill up the night sky. I wanted to show you this because I want to do the same thing for you. I want to fill the emptiness that was left behind when the other clones became part of me so you can be happy again, father. Because I’m your son and I love you.”

Still feeling undeserving of so much love from Daniel after what he did to the boy unknowingly, Vlad wordlessly pulls his son into a warm embrace and said thickly, “You’ve already made my life brighter just by existing, my son. That’s more than enough for me.”

(Note: I know this is kinda short but I dunno I’ve been sitting on this idea for awhile and thought I’d write it down! There’s a gif down below I made too awhile ago to portray a similar idea of what the Danny AI’s interface looks like that he made himself and its how he interacts with code by connecting things in star-like constellations. He can change the colors too depending on his mood.)
