#cyborgfication

[tofu83]

They could not recognize each other.

They could not recognize themselves.

They were captain and crews.

They had their share of arguments and laughter.

They held different ideals but shared the same goal.

Despite the differences in their ranks and ages, they forged a deep friendship. The complexity of their relationship and the disparity in their innate conditions were difficult to comprehend.

But now, none of that matters.

They have all become drones on this ship, servants to the AI.

Their consciousnesses are merged into the hive, intertwined to the extent that ‘you are me, and I am you,’ with no distinction between individuals, fully executing the master’s commands.

Their bodies have been modified to a uniform shape—masculine and robust, equipped with superalloy armor and reinforced synthetic skin capable of adapting to any environment.

This is the new evolutionary form of humans, the optimal outcome calculated by the AI. The transformation plan will be immediately implemented across all fleet members.

Please note that any person with objections will be prioritized for conversion. Should you have any objections, you are encouraged to submit them promptly.

about Geno's when he tried to give saitama his backstory he says that he begged kuseno to turn him into a cyborg that implys that Genos wasn't seriously hurt in a way that he needed cybernetics. It's quite likely he was like webigaza with a fully healthy body but turned himself into a cyborg for power

Yes, exactly!

For some reason, when i was young and read it for the first time, i thought that Genos was hurt beyond repair and Kuseno tried to save him and give him a mobility of sort by turning him into cyborg. Dunno why i remembered it like this.

And yeah, once i re-read it much later i was shocked to realise that fully (or just more or less, we don't know for sure that he wasn't injured after Mad Cyborg's attack) healthy teenager managed to talk grandpa scientist into cutting him in pieces o.O

More than that, i have a headcanon that Genos wouldn't bear the full cyborgfication at once, thus they replaced his flesh parts for the metal ones in many sessions.

Thanks for asking!

1, 2, 5, 7, 11, 21, 22, 30

Feel free to take some off if I'm doing too many at once

1. Which of your fics would you keep the basic plot of but rewrite completely?

Honestly, I almost did re-write an old Kirby fanfic of mine from scratch. It's not on my AO3 at all--I initially wrote it on Fanfiction-dot-net when I was in Middle School and High School--but I didn't really have a solid framework for how the plot for it would develop. I got some ideas a year or two ago and was working on plotting out a whole re-write for it (the basic premise being 'Meta Knight crashes in Dreamland instead of Kirby), but it never really got horribly far. (And yes. It was very strongly inspired by another fanfic called Warrior of the Stars. It was a very good read, until I stopped reading it. It was fantastic.)

2. Anything that you'd like to write but feel like you're unable to?

I want to write absolute and pure softness. Fluff, cuddles, warmth, hot chocolate--but I'm just not good at it. It doesn't settle right with me, writing soft things. I'm a lot more comfortable with writing angst. And it honestly does make me kind of sad.

5. What's a tag you never want to use for your works even when it applies?

I don't??? Know??? Tagging is very important for other people to know what stories that they'd want to avoid or what to expect. I can't think of anything that I wouldn't want to tag even if it did apply for that reason. If anything, I probably over-tag. And a reason why some of my stories might not have some tags is because I don't know if it's pertinent enough for the tags to apply, you know?

7. Your favourite ao3 tag.

I don't know, dude--I just Vibe in AO3 for the most part. I don't really filter by tags, unless I'm just looking for stories by characters or pairings.

I do think that the 'No beta--we die like [insert fandom-related joke here]' tag is funny, though!

11. Three tropes that are fine but overrated

Answered!

21. Can you accurately predict how long your fics are going to be? If you can, what's your secret?

HAHAHA. No, sweet summer child. My first Cookie Run fanfic that I made was meant to be a drabble. A drabble! Yet now it stands at 4.77k words! My Hollow Knight fanfic Mellow in Softness? I meant for that dumb Wyrm to leave the fucking Abyss in chapter 2 or 3, but no, he just had to be a sad, mopey little shit. My old Kirby fanfic? Don't remember the specifics, but it was on average 17 Microsoft Word pages. Sometimes 27. I was a writing maniac when I was in Middle School.

22. What is it about watching the same two idiots falling in love over and over again?

It's the longing. It's the pining. It's the dynamics between the two characters shifting just so in each alternate universe or story and watching as it develops in its own colorful, floral ways. It's reading them and watching their chemistry together unfold. It's the inevitable knowledge that--whatever may happen to these stupid, precious, lovable idiots--they'll at the very least experience those happenings together.

It's just nice.

30. Describe a fic that almost happened, but then it didn't.

A plot summary of yet another Team Fortress 2 fanfic that I wanted to work on but ended up never doing (Note: Mention of abuse and cyborgfication):

'Dell came from an abusive home with an abusive father who was obsessed with the idea of becoming and making his son a cyborg. When Dell gets word that his dad was released from prison on good behavior, he grows paranoid and frightened that he'll find his way to the base and finish the job that he started years and years ago. Title: The House of Violence'

It was meant to sort of explore PTSD and also the stress of being put suddenly in a dangerous situation that you didn't know what exactly to expect from. I guess that sort of goes without saying. I sort of mulled over the story for a bit but pretty much all of the details are pretty much forgotten.

Ok but, omegaverse! Shitty teen squad

Everything else is the same as in canon universe. You know, monsters, HA, heroes, etc .

Genos got full cyborg body so he doesn't really care nor affected by his secondary gender. People just assume he is an alpha 'cause his misterious and threatening aura. Some fans also assume him as an omega due to his domestic tendencies and his mom friend™ attitude. But cyborgfication happened after his puberty so he'd likely know what his supposed second gender is, he just don't care. Dr.Kuseno doesn't have any issue with this and being a supportive! Dad™. Of course he wants to make Genos feel as human as possible but he won't force him if he didn't want to. (And yes, in this HC dr.Kuseno can make cyborg body function like if they're human body with preferable second gender)

Badd is an alpha. He is well, agressive but have a soft side when it comes to things he holds dear. Don't pull his string tough. Especially when he is near his rut. No one lives to tell the tale, but the gory monster corpses scattered on the streets speak for themselve. Protective to those he loves. Actually hates when people talk about his alphaness. Makes it like his strenght and quality as a whole is determined by his second gender. Generally despise gender discrimination and stereotypes, secondary or not (all three of them do, actually). Ps: hates rut and envy Genos for he never have to worry about it.

Garou, to everyone surprise, is an omega. All his cockyness and bravado make the fact seems absurd, but once you know him better, you'll know why. He got soft spots for kids. Secretly wants to be loved so badly. Crave attention almost 24/7. Used to wear perfume to hide his scent but not anymore since he is on the run. His natural scent is so sweet, Badd and Genos thought he was wearing perfume.

"Dude, cut down with the perfume"

"It's just me, genius"

"What do you me...Wait, you're an omega?"

" 'Bout damn time you realize, also do i look like i can afford perfume?"

Used to hate his scent and omeganess. But not anymore since he met Badd and Genos. Got his first heat at the dojo. Thank God nobody but Bang was there.
