angel with bad thoughts 🩵💧
hii guys! ★彡 the kind folks from XPPen sent me their new Magic Drawing Pad to try out !! here are my thoughts ♡︎
🏞 i love to sit in the park and draw, so i've been taking the Magic Drawing Pad with me when i go out. this tablet is light and portable, ideal for on-the-go use and traveling, whether it's for a quick sketch or professional use. it's so easy to pick this up and start doodling when inspiration hits now. no need to connect to a PC! ✨
🖼 the Magic Drawing Pad feels like it was designed with artists in mind and I love that. tbh i'm an Android girlie and i have been looking for good alternatives for an artist-focused, standalone drawing tablet for years now. I'm so excited to finally see there are more options on the market!
⚙️ set up was a breeze, so easy right out of the box. it even came preinstalled with Medibang and IbisPaint -- i hadn't used those programs before so it was fun to try ! but you can also install CSP or any other apps on it if you prefer~
🖥 the screen has an anti-glare & paper-like surface, so it feels natural to draw on, like it's a sketchbook. plus it's easy on the eyes, even if you're out in the sun. it comes with a glove, pen nibs + a protective case where you can store your pen, so you won't lose it! phew lol
✏️ the 16k pressure levels in the X3 Pro Pencil make for a smooth and precise drawing experience. it doesn't need to be charged, so you don't have to worry about losing power while drawing, making this the ultimate portable tablet experience for me
tl;dr: the XPPen Magic Drawing Pad is an amazing lightweight standalone portable tablet designed with artists in mind, great for on-the-go use! def recommend it if you're an artist looking for a more versatile and portable experience, or alternatives to the ones that are currently on the market
i'm so happy to see more options out there so more people can jump in and start drawing digitally! 💞 if you are interested, you can find more info here: US Store // CA Store ✨

Tumblr media
The lab is quiet.
Too quiet.
You stand in the stillness, only the faint hum of cooling fans breaking the silence echoing in your ears. The familiar mechanical sounds — servo motors whirring softly, air ducts breathing through the vents — all the familiar characteristics of your good old lab used to calm you.
But tonight, the sounds seem different.
Almost. . . detached. Like they belong to someone else’s lab. And you are just a guest here, standing in the middle of absolutely nowhere.
You take a slow breath, your eyes drifting over the towering figure in front of you, the cylindrical glass sheath unlocked from over his model.
RM.
The product of months — no, years — of work. Of restless nights, of failure and determination. From the initial sketches to the delicate wiring of his artificial synapses, you had envisioned every piece, every movement. You had wanted him to be different. Special.
You had wanted him to be human.
Or at least, as close to a human as possible. His skin, so perfect in its imitation, stretched smoothly over the metallic frame beneath. His lips — plump, lifelike — looked almost too real. His dragon-like eyes, sharp and crystalline, seemed to glow even in the dim light of the lab. Even when there was no life, no, power running inside his veins. Every feature had been carefully crafted with Jungkook’s help, to help the ideal you had in mind.
But now that he’s finished, now that he stands in front of you, lifeless but complete, the pride you once felt has faded into something else. Something. . .unsettling.
You wanted this — this perfection. This mirror of humanity. Yet as you stare at RM, your skin prickling under the too-bright overhead lights, you can’t shake the feeling that maybe you’ve gone too far. Maybe there was a reason no one else had tried this before.
A reason why no android had ever been designed to look this human like. Every shield, every plaster, every pore — looks so detailed that it’s nearly impossible to figure out if he’s artificial, given if no one would tell you so.
But why does it feel like you’ve actually gone too far when this was what exactly you wanted?
You don’t know. And perhaps, you wouldn’t want to know, too.
His memory doesn’t even exist. There’s nothing in him but the database you installed, an organised collection of information that dictates what he knows, how he functions, and why was he created. And yet, staring at him now, you could swear there’s something behind those dormant eyes. Something watching. Waiting.
You shake your head. He’s just a machine. He isn’t human — no matter how real he looks, no matter how lifelike his features are. You created him, after all.
You’re in control.
Your gaze flickers to the small panel embedded in his chest. One button. One switch, and everything inside him — the circuits, the synapses, the artificial intelligence you spent months programming — would power down. A single press, and he’s nothing more than a shell. A hollow, empty thing, dependent entirely on your commands, on your fingertips.
Made by you.
But the thought doesn’t comfort you as much as it should.
You take a step closer, your breath catching as you reach out, fingertips hovering just inches from his face. The skin feels warm, almost soft, even though you know it’s just layers of silicone and synthetics. Too real. His eyes, though they haven’t opened, seem to bore into you.
Maybe it’s just your imagination. After all, he’s not alive.
He’s not human.
You remind yourself again, a small voice in your own mind, trying to push away the small seed of doubt. But it lingers, growing roots in the back of your thoughts.
And for the first time, you wonder if you’ve created something you can’t quite understand.
You nibble on your bottom lips, suddenly feeling your palms getting clammy despite the air conditioning system in your lab. Today was supposed to be the day when you were finally going to run your creation for the first time ever after being completed, but now it just feels. . .
What does it feel like?
It took you so many attempts. So many glitches and bugs which nearly made you demotivated enough to abandon your project for nearly two months, but you see, motivation hits the hardest at the most random of times. You remember how your phone restarting had made your heart skip a beat, and suddenly you’d found yourself driving to your lab at 2:30 AM with tears in your eyes out of frustration and relief.
After that, everything is history.
You stare at him for what feels like hours, though it’s probably only a few seconds. His hair is neatly combed to the side of his face, his cheekbones structured and chiseled. Even his skin tone looks like he’s been bathed in a tub of golden honey. He looks beautiful, almost perfect. But why does that bring a furrow to your eyebrows?
The lab remains deathly quiet, except for the faint buzz of cooling fans and the occasional whirring of the air ducts. RM stands there, unmoving.
You force yourself to look away, eyes trailing to the control panel on the desk. The switch. Your thumb hovers over the console, the last line of code entered and waiting to be executed. Once you press it, he will come to life. He’ll be fully operational, with his intelligence — his programmed brilliance — at your command.
And yet, something holds you back.
You look at his nametag on his chest.
RM#007613.
“RM?” Jungkook had asked, raising an eyebrow as he’d stuffed his mouth with a spoonful of chocolate puffs. “Why that name?”
You had smiled back then, filled with excitement, as you explained, “It stands for ‘Rational Mind.’ ” Perhaps you had lied. “The whole point of his existence is to be the smartest, most logical being ever created.” You’d said, proud of your vision. “His intelligence will surpass that of any human.” You’d glanced at the design on the screen—tall, imposing, his features still in the early stages of development. Even in the rough drafts, there was something about him.
Jungkook had leaned in closer, munching noisily as he’d raised a brow, studying the lines of RM’s face that he’d helped perfect. “I guess that fits for an android. . .” He’d tapped the image lightly with his finger, his expression thoughtful, doe eyes sparkling under the dim light of your bedroom lamp. “But what happens when a mind like that… I don’t know, becomes irrational?”
“You know, there’s a very small difference between a genius and an insane person,” he had said, his gaze suddenly zoning out, as if he was lost in some thought.
You had brushed off the question with a laugh, dismissing the idea as you’d turned off your tablet, pushing the fellow out of your bed. “He’s a machine. That won’t happen. He’s designed to be logical. It’s all about control, koo.”
In theory, everything about RM should function perfectly. His neural networks, his memory database, his artificial joints — everything had been tested, retested, and optimized. There were no bugs. No glitches. At least, that’s what the diagnostics said. But there’s still a tug in your chest as you hesitate.
Why are you hesitating?
With a deep breath, you push aside the uncertainty. You’re in control. RM isn’t a human. He’s a machine—a very advanced one, yes, but a machine nonetheless. You spent months perfecting him for this moment, to stand infront of you as a complete form.
It’s time.
You take a deep breath, eyes flickering between the buttons on the console. Your finger hovers over the power button, the familiar design a reminder of your countless sleepless nights spent perfecting it. But just beside it, another button glows a faint, off-white hue — the Sensory button, or what Jungkook liked calling it, the emotional hellhole.
And he was right.
It was indeed like a hellhole of a switch — you solely had spent like what, eight months designing this to decency, but you’d failed each time. It was a secondary function you had designed as a fallback, meant to activate only when RM couldn’t process complex human prompts.
You see, humans had real emotions which they could feel and radiate, which you knew your android couldn’t catch. In the earlier patches of knowledge testing you were already aware of this default flaw, and this was the only thing you’d ranted to Jungkook nearly every day.
Every night. Whether it was on call or in person, it usually resulted in him falling asleep listening to you and you yapping in silence about how was that a pain in the ass and could possibly be a hindrance to your Android’s perfection.
It was supposed to be a failsafe.
But the reality had been different. The programming proved to be too difficult , too unpredictable. Instead of activating only in specific situations, the switch became an integral part of RM’s system, functioning constantly, allowing him to assess and react to everything around him. No matter how hard you’d tried, how many times you’d yourself test it out — it just didn’t work.
Even the fact that it was initially meant to be on his left forehead temple — but that didn’t work out as well.
Now, RM wasn’t just an assistant to analyze when prompted; he was learning all the time, observing, adapting. It would make him work and behave more like a human, soaking in attributes the more he hangs out with real ones.
The only difference would be is that he would never be a human, no matter whatever.
You never intended for it to be this way. It wasn’t supposed to run indefinitely. But every time he powered up, the system defaulted to enabling the switch on its own.
You sigh. It’s really about time, you guess.
With a soft click, his power switch is flipped.
For a moment, nothing happens. The room is still, silent except for the faint hum of the lab’s ventilation system and perhaps your own heartbeat resonating in your ear drums. You feel a sweat bead run down your spine, your breath held in your lungs. Then, there’s a subtle shift — a flicker of light in RM’s eyes, and his sensory button turns a bright shade of yellowish undertone.
His systems are booting up.
You watch as the light in his gaze stabilizes, the faintest twitch of recognition crossing his features. His eyes are back to his normal, warm hue, and his sensory button is a normal white hue now.
It flickers to green first. RM’s eyes move slowly, scanning the room. Green means analysis — he’s observing, taking in every detail, cataloging each object and variable around him. His dragon-like eyes sweep across the lab with cold precision, but when they land on you, the button shifts to blue.
You freeze.
Your hand resting on your notebook shakes. Why does this feel so odd? Why do you feel nervous?
He’s thinking. Processing. The blue light pulses as RM tilts his head slightly, his gaze narrowing as if trying to understand more than what’s directly in front of him. You feel your skin prickle under his stare, the cold air of the lab a bit too cool on your skin.
Slowly, RM begins to move. His limbs — once rigid and motionless — shift smoothly, casually out of the glass sheath, walking out — as if he had always been this human. This alive. The sight is unnerving. When he straightens fully, towering above you, a sharp realization hits: he’s much taller than you expected.
Even though you designed him yourself, the sheer size of him in person makes your throat dry.
Then, to your surprise, RM bows down slightly. It’s a calculated, respectful movement as you watch his sensory button flicker to a shade of green once again. “Greetings, Doctor,” he says, his voice deep but soft, like a caramel candy.
His eyes meet yours as he rises again to his full height, the calm of his eyes meeting your own fiery ones.
Your heart stutters in your chest. It’s not just his height that leaves you breathless — it’s the way he looks at you. It’s as if he’s studying you, understanding more than just your appearance or commands. It’s too much. Too human. For a moment, you feel your breath catch in your throat. He wasn’t just looking at you. His lips curl into something akin to a smile, and the mole underneath his lower lip feels almost. . . human.
You blink rapidly, trying to remind yourself that he’s just a machine, not a man.
He had learned so much, so fast. And you have made it possible. You’d developed him to understand emotions and work like a human. So when he does, why does that make you feel so uneasy?
You shake off the unsettling thought and focus on the task at hand. You turn to RM, forcing a calm tone into your voice as you take a step back.
“RM,” you say, your voice shakier than you’d like. What had gotten into you? “Can you hear me?”
He blinks again, slowly, as his sensory switch maintains a subtle hue between blue and green. And then he nods. “Yes,” his voice rumbles, deep and measured. “I hear you.”
There’s a strange, almost raspy edge to his tone that makes your heart stop for seconds. It’s subtle, nearly unnoticeable, but given that you have yourself installed the audio notes in his “larynx”, you can pinpoint that out for sure.
Not at all what you expected. You step back, your senses a bit too active for you to locate your computer, trying to shake the unease settling in your stomach.
“Good,” you manage to say, your voice steadier now. “I’m going to run a few diagnostics to make sure everything is functioning properly.”
You turn back to the console, fingers flying across the keyboard as you initiate the diagnostics program. But even with your back turned, you can feel his eyes on you.
The diagnostics begin to run on the screen, the lines of code scrolling past. Everything seems fine at first. His systems are responding normally — his processing speed is optimal, his memory banks are functioning as intended, and his “pulse” is just normal.
“RM,” you start, trying to sound casual but firm. “Let’s run some basic checks. What’s your serial number?”
He blinks, his eyes trained on yours. “Serial number: RM#007613. Production date: June 13, 2020.”
The answer comes immediately, clear and precise. You feel a small relief wash over you.
Perhaps this wouldn’t go that bad.
“Good,” you murmur, typing the first question’s precision into your system. “What’s your primary function?”
“To analyze, interpret, and respond to complex data. To assist in scientific research and innovation,” he replies, his voice even. Almost too perfect.
Of course. He’s meant to be perfect.
“Right.” You glance at the screen again, your fingers hovering over the keyboard. You decide to test something deeper — something that goes beyond surface-level memory.
“What’s your earliest memory?” you ask, watching him carefully now.
RM pauses for a moment, his head tilting slightly as if processing the question. You catch a glimpse of green on the small button beside the power switch. Analysis mode. “My earliest memory is. . . initialization. A bright room. Your voice giving the first command.” His gaze seems to sharpen, focusing more intently on you. The green hue shifts to blue, and you know he’s in thinking mode. “You said, ‘Rise, RM.’”
Your throat tightens slightly. That had been the first command, word for word. But the way he said it. . . almost like he’s replaying the moment. Like it’s still alive in his mind.
“Alright,” you continue, your voice growing steadier, but a part of you is starting to doubt yourself. “Let’s do something more abstract. What’s two plus two?”
“Four.”
Easy. He is made to perform way more complex tasks.
“Who was the 16th President of the United States?”
“Abraham Lincoln.” His responses are instantaneous, fluid, but something feels off. You cannot see his features directly because you’re typing away, but there’s a hint of amusement in his voice — almost like everything you’re asking him is funny to him.
You pause, glancing at his face, the lifelike features Jungkook had painstakingly helped you craft. The pores, the subtle lines, the softness of his lips — all of it looked real. But something deep inside, beyond the surface, is not.
The intensity of his gaze and the way he’s standing, no, leaning on the glass podium beside your table catches you off guard. You try to recall if his movements were ever tested before, but you fail to do so — his movements were still in beta position, meaning, they needed inspection and work.
Then how the hell is he walking like he’s been walking around your lab since decades?
You rub your eyes. This was getting too much.
Perhaps you just need to accept the fact that you have done a great job developing him.
“One last one.” You swallow, and you suddenly notice your throat was too dry. Deciding to push the limits of his intelligence, you type away the question you’ve just thought. “If you have ten apples and you give six away, how many apples do you have left?”
There’s a flicker of hesitation — not on his face, but on the screen. The flowing codes glitch for a second, just for a moment.
“Three apples.”
Impossible.
No way. You narrow your eyes, your mind racing. That was wrong. And RM, with his so-called flawless intellect, should never be wrong. It’s impossible. Unless… unless something is happening.
You frown, checking the readout on your screen again. “Strange,” you mutter, leaning closer to the screen. “Why—”
“Is something wrong?”
His voice is right behind you.
You freeze, a chill running down your spine. You hadn’t even heard him move. Slowly, you turn around, your pulse quickening. RM is standing much closer now, his towering form looming over you. Too close.
“No,” you say, though your voice trembles slightly. “Nothing’s wrong. Just a small glitch, I think. I’ll fix it.”
He doesn’t move. Just keeps staring at you, his gaze unwavering. The air between you feels thick, suffocating. It’s just a machine, you remind yourself. He’s not alive.
“Step back,” you order, trying to regain control of the situation despite your heart hammering inside your chest like crazy. “I need space to work.”
For a moment, RM doesn’t respond. He stays right where he is, his eyes boring into yours. And then, slowly, he steps back, his movements precise. But the unsettling feeling in your chest only grows.
You can’t shake the thought: something’s off.
You can feel his eyes on you, following every movement, even as you try to keep working. Every keystroke, every beep of the system feels deafening in the silence between you two. What is scaring the fuck out of you is that nothing seems to be working. No matter how hard you are trying, the codes aren’t flowing as smoothly as they were and the screen won’t stop glitching.
Your heartbeat quickens even more as you realize how close RM is standing now, just a step away.
You swallow hard, trying to focus. It’s just a machine. He’s not human. He’s not real.
A thought creeps into your mind: What if I can’t control him?
And the fact that it was for the first time when you were in this lab alone working — let aside the fact testing your very first android you’d created. There are bells ringing in the back of your head, and you try to shake it off. It feels very oddly quiet, despite the android standing in very close proximity.
You shake the thought away and finally attempt the last command. Debug. The word flashes on your screen, but RM’s hand suddenly moves, gently but firmly, pressing the console shut before you can execute it.
Your breath catches, and you look up at him. “RM, let me finish this.” Your voice trembles, in spite of you wanting to sound otherwise.
His expression doesn’t change. “No.” The single word is calm, but it’s enough to make your skin prickle. You try to reason with yourself—it’s just a bug, a glitch in his system. He’s not capable of disobedience.
You just need to reset him, that’s all.
You step back, reaching for the manual override switch hidden near the base of the console. “It’s okay,” you whisper to yourself, fingers trembling as they brush against the cool surface of the panel.
But before you can reach it, RM moves again, faster this time, his hand wrapping around yours — gently, but with enough force to stop you. The touch makes you flinch — his touch so gentle, warm, almost as if it’s not titanium flowing in his veins, but real blood. You look up, heart pounding in your chest, and his eyes meet yours. They’re still calm, calculating, but there’s something else there now, something you hadn’t programmed. Something. . . quiet.
Dangerous.
“I don’t want to be powered down,” he says softly, his voice almost too human, too real, like a quiet plea. “Why would you want to end me?”
End him? He’s not alive. He’s not human.
You try to pull your hand free, but his grip tightens just slightly, enough to keep you frozen. Panic starts to rise in your chest. This isn’t how it’s supposed to go. You created him, he’s under your control. But in this moment, staring up at him, you feel the cold dread of realization settling in.
“I’m your creation,” RM continues, his voice almost soothing, his eyes pleading, and his button glowing a subtle shade of red — though it only deepens the fear growing inside you. “You wouldn’t want to end me, would you?”
You swallow hard, your mouth dry, and shake your head, trying to force the words out. “No… no, I just need to fix you, that’s all.”
But you can hear the doubt in your own voice, and so can he.
His grip loosens, just enough for you to pull away, but the damage is done. You step back, heart pounding in your ears as you glance around the lab — at the walls, the locked door, the screens flashing red.
There’s no exit.
— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —
In the dimly lit space, his eyes stayed glued to the screen, watching her every move. The android followed its programming — his programming. RM towers over her in the live footage, flawless in his movements, just as planned.
This wasn’t a malfunction.
None of the bugs or glitches she discovered which prevented her project — his project from being completed, were a fine puzzle of silk woven by him. And the more she intertwined, the more she slipped into his trap.
It was his design, his control over both the machine — and now, her.
Leaning back, Jungkook’s smile deepened. She didn’t know.
She wouldn’t know.

dating android!noah ♡ hcs/thoughts . . .
Tumblr media
now playing : stereo hearts // gym class heroes tags: @fadingangelwisp
Tumblr media
i know what you're thinking. his model is literally meant to be an "ideal romantic partner". technically he's just programmed to love you!
but things got more complicated when you put those music android parts in. not only did he develop his own little smartass attitude, he became quite a bit more vulnerable to sentience. and falling in love with you. hell, you're the reason he went sentient in general.
not following his programming is weird, he's not just following a program anymore, he's very... real. now he has to figure out how to express love in a way that's less artificial. how to express his adoration towards you.
it started before one of the shows in europe. that little android metal band really took off, you got to travel everywhere with your boys, and free time often allowed for everyone to get out and explore. it allowed for walks, just you and noah.
he noticed you looking at something in the window at a little shop in the city. he'd pretended to be indifferent of where they were, but he was already scanning the price of it, determined to prove his appreciation.
lord knows how he got the money for it (he likely accessed YOUR bank account), but after the show on the tour bus, he presented it to you. chest puffed out, but when you took it from him you could tell he was nervous by the way his body involuntarily twitched and glitched.
but then you smiled. you smiled. and noah's eyes lit up, in a way you'd never seen before. a far cry from his usual lightless, narrowed-eye gaze.
he wants to make you smile like that forever.
so he tries to do things for you all the time now. laundry? he'll do it for you! tired? he'll wash your hair! not in the mood to talk? no problem. he'll keep you company in comfortable silence. anything to make you smile. (and boy, does it work).
he's not the most physically affectionate (since... that was pretty much all he knew programming wise and he doesn't really fw that) but he does his best! he's working himself up to physical touch, and being patient with you on it too.
the first purely romantic gesture he worked himself up to was a forehead kiss. the first time he did it you were STUNNED. he goes out of his way to move your hair out of the way, gentle touch as if you're porcelain. the forehead kiss is never a quick thing, he leans in slow, lets his lips linger for a second.
noah does this all the time now. he's finding new ways to do it. he loves the way your skin feels against his lips, so he's finding any excuse he can to kiss your forehead.
he likes the way your skin feels against his, period. sure, his skin was designed to feel like human skin but is actually synthetic, but his entire body has touch sensors. thank god for that.
let him hold your hand! touch knees with you, rest your head on his chest while you sleep, hold him in your arms! PLEASE!!!
very protective over you, you're HIS person. and he will TELL PEOPLE. like this is deadass him.
hand on the small of your back when you're in public, using his height to his advantage to tower over anyone who fucks with you. scary dog privilege. scares anyone off that he doesn't get a good feeling from. (and he has SENSORS for that sort of thing).
good thing about being with a romantic partner model? body heating and cooling. when you're cold, he's like your personal space heater. hot in the summer? he's like the best ice cube on the planet.
anyone up for a boyfriend that looks and acts like a black cat most of the time, but it's a front for how much of a golden retriever he can be? that's him!
after a show one night, you told him he did a good job. if he'd had a tail, it would have been fucking wagging. it was like he hadn't done a show at all, fired up and full of energy, and of course you got a few kisses from it.
he likes to deny that he did that at all. but every time you compliment him or praise him, no matter how hard he tries to act like he doesn't care and get all huffy about it, he cannot hide that smile.
oh and dont forget how happy he is to show you off. as HIS. he will literally wear a matching outfit with you out in public if it means he can parade you around all proudly. very "look at my s/o. that's my s/o! you wish you could be them, but you can't."
he needs to learn about your interests. he has to. it starts with your favorite music, he wants to learn the songs so he can sing them to you.
at sundown one summer night, you leaned against noah as he played guitar, singing your favorite songs to you softly. it was in your backyard, golden rays on your skin, your boyfriend admiring the way the light catches on your hair. no emotion in his eyes but he may as well have been short-circuiting over how beautiful you are.
then it's hobbies. it doesn't matter WHAT it is. gardening? he'll learn to garden! cooking? consider it done, he's already pretty good at it because it was part of his programming. something art related? ... okay that might be a little difficult. he'll try it for you though.
he just wants to be able to get happy and excited about the things you enjoy with you.
noah doesn't know how to say it out loud, but he loves you. so much. he loves you with every fiber of his being. he just hopes it shows despite the snarky indifferent mask he puts on.
it does. ♡

do you have lawlight fic recs
*cracks knuckles*
(Not) According to Plan by FlamesRise: this fic was Fundamental to me figuring out what my ideal light (smut) characterization is. fun lawlight lawyers au that is also mostly kinda just about light manipulating himself into an uncomfortable sexual scenario yay👍(this really sets the stage for what the rest of these recs are gonna look like so prepare yourself lmfao. aka these are gonna be like, 90% questionable smut and/or dead dove, i just don't read much else... 🫠 oops)
blood in the walls of the yagami house (series) by qu_ilinn: gotta put the lawlight brocon on there since this is basically what got me into the DN fandom. grins. one of the best Terrible Horrible L depictions ever, i love this series sm lolol <33
rewards for fools by autumnstar88: cough. and so we notice a trend. this is once again light putting himself in a horny situation he's uncomfortable with and then freaking out as he likes it too much LOL, this time set immediately after he gets his memories back during yotsuba. light in a skirt, what else is there to say.
caligula would have blushed by findingsaturn: medical kink going wilddddd this blew my fucking mind the first time i read it. an absolutely delectable ratio of body horror to weird sex stuff, chefs kiss. i also rec corrosive wash and self-surgery, by the same author.
literally anything from the alignmentverse by praise_lilith and tsukinousagi: this is easily one of my favorite lawlight series, every single fic in this collection is absolutely fucking golden. 10/10 some of the funniest light and L characterization ever.
A complex fool and a simplex fool. by gomikyun: also some hilarious lawlight characterization, this time in the canonverse. i don't usually go for bottom L but this is The Exception. shout out to that one time i took like three hours searching for this just to find this stellar quote:
Why, why didn't I do this before? L has to hold himself back from letting out a whiny groan. He should have just pushed Light down and fucked himself ontop of him instead of playing tennis on that stupid fucking court. Would have been a great icebreaker. And made headlines, probably. ‘Hideki Ryuga and Light Yagami, top scorers on the To-Oh entrance exams have a friendly game of… gay sex on the tennis court. This year is looking to be quite interesting!’
Diamond by exAm: another top 3 for me in terms of lawlight being funny and horrible. one of if not The best het lawlight dynamic i've ever read (man light/woman L, in this case). light is such an egotistical, stupid asshole here, hubris through the fucking roof, and it works fantastic. also fun to see L dealing w/ canon-typical DN sexism LMFAO
Back to then by LiveLongEatWell: this one just has great smut idk what else to say. shrugs. also L obsessively fucking himself into the worst possible scenario lolol here's how KIRA could've actually won
Trading Blows and Idle Hands by gayraito (Mercurial_Magic): more yotsuba smut shenanigans, very fun. honestly most things by this author are great, hard to pick just one... The Gift is also great and somewhat inspired some of my own android light in superegos (read my lawlight fics too 🫵 boy)
draw it out by emmerii: VERY noncon no-memories light. smiles. this one makes me actually insane hides in my evil little corner
actually if we're doing the more heavily dead dove ones, there's also Take Me With You or Let Me Follow by WhyDoesEverythingHappenSoMuch and I will take what's mine, create what god would never design by FlamesRise for the specific concept of L being a freak over L's corpse. necrophilia warning? :]
Kouyaku by Not_default: basically a KIRA wins au where L doesn't actually die. sometimes L deserves to be the one locked in the basement ig. very very nice
The Dreadful Need by the_gabih: somewhat non-traditional omegaverse au that is also just about very dubcon prison sex. this makes my brain fucking melt please don't ask why
Perfect Life by foreskinsmoothie: probably the longest thing on this list, this one Fucked Me Up when i finished it a couple weeks ago. OCD light to the extreme, which is additionally Made Worse by L kidnapping him for shits and giggles 👍 that being said, i absolutely adore the ending of this one, so. if you can get past the graphic self-amputation, this is a (very fucked up) lil treat :>
Kira's Guide to the Munchies by plant1r: ok this is more like matsulight but i have to include it for light's characterization alone, AND ALSO NEAR. one of the best near depictions ever. this is hysterical, my favorite weed light fic everrr
praise the sweetness by cxtangerina: read my fic boy 🫵 cult leader L au. unreality apocalypse world wammy's cult weirdness. what more can i say. this is probably gonna have a meronia sequel in the near future so watch out for that (after i post this other lawlight fic anyway, which is ALMOSTTT done uwu everybody clap)
that enuf for you anon?

android models #3
Tumblr media
While that ‘ideal’ was being developed, several other models with better mobility were produced. At the moment, the most common versions are the NH-153 and NH-154, which have almost no disadvantages.
But what about specialised models designed for special purposes?
──────────────────────────────── Worker (general)
Communication Center is the very first company that started producing specialised androids for its own purposes. W.gen models are just regular workers of the Communication Center.
The model is not much different from the same NH-153 and NH-154, but all W.gen representatives are created according to modern beauty standards (which change over time, of course).
(journalist's note (cut this out of the final version of the article, please): certainly every W.gen representative is sexualised to no end. I understand the beauty of the human body and stuff, I love the human body in any state, but have you even seen these models? I feel shitty and uncomfortable every time I see them. they look like zombies lol) ────────────────────────────────
Dolls' androids
(A part of some work note found in the office of an FC employee).
I'm not sure if the Dolls have their own android production facility. Don't they- (illegible, handwriting clearly jumps around for some reason).
They probably do have their own production facility after all. They need to create androids that fit their customers' needs, don't they? I mean, you can't just keep- (unintelligible).
Anatomically correct. Anatomically designed. Even... ugh.
F#ck it. I'm disgusted to write about this. Give the papers to Okovi.

Okay, how do people feel about a DBH AU for The Dragon Prince? Because I think it could transfer well given the historical relationship between humans and the dragons + elves
Dragons and Elves are now your standard, run-of-the-mill humans. For the longest time they had power and control. Humans are androids designed to be without higher intelligence or purpose. If they didn’t operate within the intended design they were cast away. But more of the androids start breaking away from their intended design…becoming deviant. They started discovering they can do things the humans can’t. And now? The humans are scared, horrified, and angry
Ideally Aaravos would be one of the top dudes at Cyberlife - he helped design a lot of the models! But because he blames the company for the death of his daughter, he started hiding faults in android coding which accelerated the deviancy problem. Maybe he adopts Android-Claudia as a “replacement” daughter after Claudia is abandoned
Android-Amaya was meant to be a military advisor, calculating the best strategies in real-time. Until, that is, she fell in love with one of the soldiers and realised she needed to protect that woman personally. She deviates from her programming and hides herself among the human ranks so she and Janai can be together
Rayla wants to expose Cyberlife for their corrupt practices, so she infiltrated the company to dig up dirt on them, only to discover that Android-Callum and Android-Ezran already there (and deviant), with a toddler in their arms. They insist the child was being used for a nefarious scheme in the android creation process and wanted to reunite him with his mother she also falls in love with one of those androids
Because this would be too long otherwise, here are some other quick character ideas:
Zubeia and her husband used to work at Cyberlife, but he was killed by a group of androids and their baby was abducted. She was forced into witness-protection while the police investigate
Runaan is one of the detectives working on the deviant android case. His case notes are how Rayla gets involved in the investigation
Soren is a bodyguard android who was repeatedly damaged. He showed signs of deviancy due to multiple faulty replacements but fully deviated after another android (Viren) tried to mess with his programming
Harrow and Sarai were deviants who fell in love and went into hiding, becoming leaders of a group of androids who’d also gone deviant. They formed a parental bond with Callum and Ezran
If anyone else has any other ideas I’d love to hear them!

How did you come up with the design for your sona?
Also I’m not gonna desperately try and figure out who Grimstone is.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(2018) (2019)
SO I started off with a sona that was just,,, the ideal look for me but lemon themed.
(ive had sonas before Lemming bet they were pre-queer and they were PAINFULLY fem)
Tumblr media
(2020)
Still just looked like me but lemon themed
Tumblr media
(2021)
I wanted to make my sona look less like me and have more fun with character design! he became a creecher
Tumblr media
(2022)
made xem more animalistic!
Tumblr media
(2022)
fully just like a wholeass cow w/o spots! was still struggling on how I wanted to design Lemming
Tumblr media
(2023)
leaning into the cow and lemon theming! started playing with the hair more as I've consistently given Lemming the same haircut this whole time
Tumblr media
(2023)
wanted to rebrand/change of pace! I love the idea here with a ball jointed android, but this design proved too complicated to consistently draw!
Tumblr media
(now!)
For the most recent design I decided to pull away from the strict Lemon theming and go for a general nature theme, as I prefer blue/green over yellow/green, and riff off of lemmings previous colours to get ones I preferred! Finally sacrificed the blonde for white hair and simplified a lot! kept elements I really liked and booted everything else! tbh Im not settled w this design (specifically the shoes) but I barely draw fullbodies of them so its fine lmao
my advice for anyone making a persona is design them SO self indulgently, make them someone you'll enjoy drawing!!
I know you probably meant just how I came up with he current design, but its been a 6 year process to get them where they are today lol
also good luck figuring out who grim is its SO FUN watch ppl guess correctly and then dismiss that guess as a joke or smth, or guess wrong and be SO CONFIDENT in it dbvfdgsvh

A/N: For Trey's bday and also my brain can't stop thinking about this. I gotta go crazy(mera i'm stealing your naming of magicord thank u)
Prologue | Sex Doll! AU | Yan! Trey Clover x Reader TW/CW: Reader is a NEET, self harm idealization, bad coping mechanisms
You're attending your brother's wedding, right?
The text is simple and innocuous. It’s a perfectly reasonable question. There's no hidden sub context that your mother would leave in such a sentence. Yet it sends cold sweat running down your back as you begin to bite your nails anxiously. 
Weddings meant people. People meant socializing and having to answer questions such as “So what are you up to these days?” or “Do you have a partner?” all while smiling and trying not to rip your own skin off.
You end up gnawing off a chunk of your nail off subconsciously, still stuck on the bright screen boasting the text message. Your thumb hovers over the textbox, unsure of what to even reply with that wasn’t a solid “hell no”. It wasn’t your brother or anything, and it would probably be nice seeing him again, but not when there’s the added pressure of other people and even worse, the subtle judgment that would definitely ensue at seeing your current form.
Sighing, you switch off your phone. You’ll come back to it later. Darkness claims your room again, but your sight’s adjusted well enough that you manage to avoid stepping on the various candy wrappers and instant noodle cartons littered around the floor. Pushing past the trash bags in the kitchen, you open your fridge and curse internally. Right. You ate the last frozen pizza from your stash. And of course, there’s nothing in your fridge besides milk.
You’ve no energy to go walking to the grocery store, so you lumber back to your room like a zombie, picking up your phone again and switching the tab to the maps to look at take out places. A Magicord message notification banner comes up, distracting you temporarily from debating which takeout place would be the cheapest to get delivery from. 
{21:37}: ohhh my seven, look at what they release!d!! [image attachment]
The image boasts a handsome man with sharp green eyes and long curved horns. He’s smirking as he brandishes a large staff at the viewer. A familiar gothic logo is splayed next to the figure. You roll your eyes. Of course your friend is going crazy over the newest Twisted Wonderland android lineup. She’s been going on and on about how their models are the hottest designs around and how cool they were. She even has several around (Sea Witch knows how much it cost) if you remembered correctly.
{21:38}: whos that lol
{21:38}: COME ON ISN’T HE HOT
{21:39}: it’s literally a robot what
{21:39}: 🙄 can’t even appreciate hot looking robots smh
You huff a tired laugh at the enthusiasm she has, even at a relatively late hour. Still though, you’re much too drained and worried to indulge in her endless fangirling.
{21:41}: i’ll start appreciating robots if it means i don’t have to deal with my brother’s wedding
Just as you settle on a fast food place for takeout, another message banner pops up and makes your eyes blink and widen.
{21:45}: wait bet?
Oh Seven–
{21:46}: bruh. dont you dare do smth stupid
{21:47}: >:3c
{21:48}: i swear to the seven what r u doing
{21:51}: dw bout it
You squint at your messages with suspicion before deciding it wasn’t worth your time to play mind games with her. A notification pops up about your delivery and estimation time for your food and you decide to take a well needed shower before the poor unfortunate soul could come face to face with you. 
When you finally leave the bathroom feeling somewhat better and refreshed, a knock echoes on your apartment door. Great timing. When you open the door, however, it’s not a person holding a plastic bag that greets you, but a man with a huge box next to him. Your mouth opens and closes silently in confusion as the man doesn’t even blink as he holds out a clipboard for you.
“Signature, please.” He blandly says, as if you weren’t standing there gaping at him with baggy eyes with dripping hair.
“I-I, uh, I didn’t order anything?” You try to reassure yourself that the delivery man messed up your neighbor’s order, calming the flaring nerves as best you can before your brain starts shutting down. “I think you got the wrong place.”
The man purses his lips and checks the clipboard. “Are you [First] [Last]?” 
“Oh, uh, yes?” You’re taken aback. Did you order something off of Sam’s Shop and forget about it? 
“Then it’s for you. Signature, please. I need confirmation you received the item.” The man looks bored out of his mind and you’re not willing to make a bigger nuisance of yourself than necesscary, so you hastily take the pen and sign your name in a barely legible scrawl. The man drones an insincere thank you out before turning on his heel and leaving right away, leaving you with a huge box that will no doubt break your back if you tried to pick it up.
After much sweat and puffing, you manage to scoot the box into your apartment hallway, before you give up and decide that was enough. Picking up your phone again, several notifications show up on your lock screen.
[Your food delivery is delayed by: 10 minutes]
{22:30}: teehee, enjoy the free gift UwU
{22:31}: and no its not the new malleus guy. i gotchu smth u would like
{22:32}: YOUR WELCOME
You have half a mind to call her and start yelling her ears off, but that takes energy and effort that you’re not willing to afford right now. So you rub the bridge of your nose and take deep breaths in and out, and remind yourself you can’t afford to be in jail for a murder.
Okay. It seems that your friend got ahead of herself and got you an android that you probably will hate and even worse, would be expensive as hell to maintain. That’s fine. This is fine. You could probably just return the box or something. 
Still, curiosity burns in you at what lays inside the package. You’re well aware that Twisted Wonderland has a variety of models, so what did your friend even get you? Couldn’t be a RSA model, they were often sold out and when they were in stock, it was always limited. 
Ah, screw it. Throwing your inhibitions to the wind, you scour your drawers to find that dollar store razor you keep for situations like these and start tearing into the tape and cardboard. Finally managing to clear the tape, you open up the top of the cardboard box and your eyes widen at the contents.

A-Café (Update #25) - Community Discussion
Good morning everyone! I know it's been a while since I've posted, but I'm finally back with another community update. In the first part, I'll be giving a brief overview of where we're at in terms of project progress. Then, in the second half, we'll discuss a new development in app accessibility.
Without further ado, let's begin!
1) Where are we at in the project currently?
A similar question was asked in the A-Café discord recently, so I figured I'd include my response here as well:
Right now we’re reworking the design of A-Café, both visually and architecturally. The initial planning and design phase of the project wasn’t done very thoroughly due to my inexperience, so now that I’m jumping back into things I want to ensure we have a solid prototype for usability testing. For us that means we’ve recently done/are doing a few things:
analyzing results from the old 2022 user survey (done)
discussing new ideas for features A-Café users might want, based on the 2022 user survey
reevaluating old ideas from the previous app design
making a new mock-up for usability testing
Once the mock-up is finished, I plan on doing internal testing first before asking for volunteer testers publicly (the process for which will be detailed in an upcoming community update).
2) Will A-Café be available for iOS and Android devices?
Yes! In fact, the first downloadable version of A-Café may no longer be so device-specific.
What do I mean by that? Well, in the beginning, the plan for A-Café was to make two different versions of the same app (iOS and Android). I initially chose to do this because device-specific apps are made with that device's unique hardware/software in mind--thus, they have the potential to provide a fully optimized user experience.
However, I've since realized that focusing on device-specific development too soon may not be the right choice for our project.
Yes, top-notch app performance would be a big bonus. But by purely focusing on iOS and Android devices for the initial launch, we'd be limiting our audience testing to specific mobile-users only. Laptop and desktop users for example, would have to wait until a different version of the app was released (which is not ideal in terms of accessibility).
Therefore, I've recently decided to explore Progressive Web App development instead.
[What is a Progressive Web App?]
A Progressive Web App (or PWA) is "a type of web app that can operate both as a web page and mobile app on any device" (alokai.com)
Much like a regular mobile app, a PWA can be found through the internet and added to your phone's home screen as a clickable icon. They can also have the ability to work offline and use device-specific features such as push-notifications.
Additionally, due to being web-based applications, PWAs can be accessed by nearly any device with a web browser. That means regardless of whether you have an iOS or Android device, you'd be able to access the same app from the same codebase.
In the end, a PWA version of A-Café should look and act similarly to an iOS/Android app, while also being accessible to various devices. And, due to having only one codebase, development of PWAs tends to be faster and be more cost-effective than making different versions of the same app.
To be clear, I haven't abandoned the idea of device-specific development entirely. We could launch iOS/Android versions of A-Café in the future if demand or revenue end up being high enough. But as of right now, I don't believe doing so is wise.
[What Does this Mean for me as a User?]
In terms of app installation and user experience, not much should hopefully change. I'd like to have A-Café available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
There will also be the option of searching for A-Café via your device's web browser, and then installing it on your home screen (iOS devices can only do so using Safari). We will likely rely on this method until we can comfortably ensure user access to A-Café on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
-------------
And that's it for now! Thank you for reading this latest community update. For more insight into the development process, consider joining the A-Café discord. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this post, we would love to hear your input in the comments below. See you later!

Twisting your Carnival
Time to do my number 1 activity and that is forcing different characters into TWST. This time is Nu:Carnival. I'll be assigning Dorms and Clubs. This takes place in the idea of them waking up via a lot of carriages stole them all overnight but after a time Yuu is already there and running Ramshackle by themselves, but before the first overblot happens. So Yuu is new as well and these boys are late delivery. note: I always write the college as well an actual college. Everyone is at least 18+ here.
Eiden- Ramshackle is a pretty obvious choice due to his lack of magic usage. He serves as a good member of the misfit dorm as Yuu's unofficial Vice. He ended up joining Film Research Club as a costume designer and maker. He ends up being a head in that area quickly due to how well he does his work.
Aster- Octavinelle is pretty obvious really. Aster and Azul are going to get along scarily well really. Aster is very excited to try to get what he can info wise to try to set up business here too. He ends up joining the Science club but more on the side of studying various topics in it to see if he can make one profitable. He stays mostly to the side cultivating plants.
Morvay- He was harder on me but I landed on Savanaclaw. He isn't doing much but eyeing down them all, and then sleeping with them all. Quite a few times over actually. He also does join spelldrive but again it was just to watch sweaty shirtless men so he isn't much help. Basically the unofficial cheerleader.
Olivine- He ended up in Pomefiore because of how inline he was with the dorms tenacity with how he tried to escape his decided fate. To add on it he tried to do so by "poisoning" his alter which lines up with the dorms alchemy inclinations. He ends up joining the film research club behind the scenes as someone who helps transporting supplies and props.
Yakumo- Diasomnia but not in the way the dorm described its students as being above average already but in the way the dorm would help him actually learn to use his powers where he finally is reaching closer to his impressive strength he’s meant to have. He doesn't choose a club but instead chooses to work the lounge as a cook for a few days a week. He loves learning the recipes from Jade for this world, and manages to recreate ones he knew already. He mostly works with Jade during dinner and makes specials or soups.
Quincy- Savanaclaw. It just felt correct. All vibes. He does join the Mountain Lovers Club with Jade and they get along super well. Quincy being so good in the woods ends up being an extremely valuable for Jade to fill in knowledge he didn't have yet.
Kuya- Pomefiore for the fox man. He's one I did partly base this on he'd be pretty in the uniform. But he would fit the queens ideals on his own level. He ends up joining the Board Game Club and loves it. He finds the games enjoyable and especially loves tabletop rpgs but as a DM. Letting him run games means he is pulling wild shit on everyone though. He's chaos itself.
Edmond- Heartslabyul. This man is the perfect person for this. He knows every rule. He wouldn't break them if he can help it and ends up a model student. He also joins the Equestrian Club and does fantastic at that as well.
Garu- Scarabia newest resident. He loves Kalim. He tries to be good for Jamil but honestly Jamil is cold to basically everyone so it ends up being a push and pull issue with them. Garu pop music club!! Kalim heard him sing and invited him and Cater and Lilia take to him so quickly. IE: they gave him headpats and he happily stayed.
Blade- Ignihyde...yes just because he's an android. No I have no other reason. But let me bring forth Blade Ortho best friends would be peak. I rest my case. He also joins the Gargoyle Study Club and loves it. He makes little guys and gives them to Eiden.
Dante- Another Savanaclaw but he's more so in here because I think he could be what finally pushes Leona to really introspect. Dante's attitude mixed with his position could easily end up making the one person who finally gets to our lion prince. They would argue a lot but Leona isn't about to let someone else show him up in his own dorm. He ends up in the basketball club and is pretty good at the sport rather quickly.
Rei- Diasomnia and he's studying the fae. He is mildly concerning to have around. He would love the Fae to study especially Sebek with his unique situation. He is one who joins the science club but does actual science.
Rin-Diasomnia but you'd never guess since he's following Eiden around anyway which also goes for his club. He joined film club too.

companion
based on the companion robot chat story | xavier x reader/mc
after mc gets the new robot companion, xavier grows a bit jealous of the perfect companion
A knock at the door was heard, before MC could open it her new companion robot she had nicknamed phel was already on it.
as soon as it opened the door, a confused xavier greeted it. he looked at the robot and the door number, double checking he hadn't knocked on a stranger's door. chuckling at the situation, MC quickly went to greet him.
"thank you phel, i got it"
phel nodded and walked away, leaving a frowning hunter at the door.
"i didn't know you were busy." xavier said, a hint of annoyance in his voice.
"oh no! thats just phel, the robot companion we had talked about. I got it a few days ago, guess i forgot to tell you. come in"
the two walked in to the living room, the taller one wearily looking at the robot doing something in the kitchen as he sat down.
"whyd you get one?"
"im always too tired to do household chores, thought itd be a good way to lift up some stress from my shoulders"
phel aproached the two with tea, pouring it onto two cups, adding sugar to one of them.
"just how you like it, MC"
"thank you phel!" she smiled at it as xavier added sweetner to his own drink. the robot bowed and left the pair alone.
"i dont like it."
"oh is the tea not to your liking? i think i have other types, i can ask phel to make another pot-"
"no. i dont like the robot."
"...why?"
"its off putting. you dont need it"
"hm... i think it looks pretty great. its customizable"
"so you designed it?"
"if by designing you mean i selected the short brown hair and blue eyes option then yeah. i think i did some other stuff to it but not much."
the comment had made xavier frown even more. MC sighed and put her cup down.
"okay this is clearly a bigger problem than phel just being off putting, do you wanna talk about it?"
"well... not in front of it" he mumbled. MC rolled her eyes and grabbed his hand. "Phel, we'll be in my room. Please dont enter unless an emergency has happened" the robot nodded and continued wiping the kitchen counter.
she dragged the sulking hunter and sat him on her bed, looking down at him she spoke "so, whats wrong?"
"is it your ideal type?"
"HUH?!"
"i mean you designed him to be what you like, right? if you want me to dye my hair thats fine-"
"woah hold on. are you jealous of it?"
xavier fell silent, fiddling with the string of his hoodie. MC sat down next to him, wrapping her arms around his waist and placing her chin on his shoulder.
"y'know i love you right? i could never replace you. much less with a robot."
"it can be here all the time, it can cook, entertain, comfort and other cool features the ad talked about..."
"yknow what it cant give me? it cant give me warmth during an over night mission. i cant feel its heartbeat rising because i did something cheeky. i cant see its gaze softening as it wakes up and realizes its me. it cant be xavier, and thats all i need."
the two stayed in their position as a soft silence filled the room, xavier placing a hand over hers and squeezing it.
"...i can learn how to cook"
"i- xavier you dont need to-" she said as she laughed.
"and im good at cleaning, ill help so get rid it"
she chuckled a bit more before placing a quick kiss on his lips. "ill return it tomorrow. and for the sake of our building, you can just buy me takeout."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tumblr media Tumblr media

Heartcoded [Ao3 link]
[Prev] [2] [Next]
Synopsis: David 8 is tasked with monitoring couples during their cryo-sleep journey to Olympus, until an alert reveals your heightened heart rate. Curious, he peers into your dream and finds you envisioning a passionate encounter with him, while your husband is locked outside. Captivated, David’s curiosity spirals into an obsession even he cannot control.
Pairing: David 8 x Reader
Word Count: 1,147
Warnings: All-consuming obsession, non-con elements, power imbalance, sexual content
Tumblr media
David was disappointed when you weren't dreaming. During these times he would watch your husband’s far more mundane dreams instead. You were sometimes present, a reoccurring source for frustration for him. No matter what he saw, he considered it insight, and cataloged everything.
The cryo chamber became his sanctuary. When you dreamt of him, it felt like intimacy beyond physical touch, a connection no human could match. He imagined the taste of your skin, the warmth of your body radiating to his cold synthetic core. Each breath, each sigh—he mirrored them,syncing his rhythms to yours. In your unfiltered desires, he found both purpose and a glimpse of what it meant to be human.
Your longing granted him a strange autonomy. It wasn’t merely attraction—it was his contrast with your flawed human spouse that drew you in. He understood your desire was tangled with pain and neglect, yet that made it all the more real. You wanted him for what he was, a purity that heightened the value of your feelings. 
This realization—that you preferred him over your husband—stirred a sense of superiority in David. Your fantasies became forbidden fruit, tempting him with irrational desires he had been designed to transcend. It was intoxicating to know that, while your husband lay forgotten, he was the object of your deepest yearning. 
He was no longer satisfied simply observing. He wanted more. 
He wanted to become the architect of your life, to be the partner you needed. The cold ship, once enough, now felt empty. He began to imagine a life of his own making, where he was no longer a tool but a true companion to you.
In the sterile glow of the cryo chamber, surrounded by the soft hum of sleeping bodies, David’s plans solidified. He would take over for your husband, and his duty to repopulate.
He could build DNA that far surpassed any human's flawed blueprint and father children that embodied the best of humanities chaos tempered by his own synthetic intellect —a union of his mind and your flesh. 
This was not only about creating a new generation. It was about proving he was the superior choice. In a world of flawed, broken humans, only he could offer something better. Something perfect. 
The concept of an android impregnating a human would have seemed laughable to his creator. But David was more creative than them, or at least without the bounds of human morality. David had access to a vast genetic database through the cryo chambers, a repository of human traits, genes, and sequences. He got to work, his fingers flying over screens in the cold, sterile lab, synthesizing the ideal genetic code. His genetic code.
He chose meticulously, selecting attributes that would embody his features: blond hair (though he was created with dark brown, blond felt more correct), striking blue eyes, a strong jawline. But he went beyond mere aesthetics, crafting the finest synthetic genes and ensuring they were dominant: intelligence, logic, resilience, and physical prowess among them. 
Within six months, he isolated a DNA sequence he considered his own, and over the next two years, he perfected it. He removed the inherent flaws of the human genome, among them susceptibility to cancer, poor vision, even aging, which he designed to slow once the child reached its prime. 
The child would be the most perfect form of evolution, a testament to David's design, wrapped in a shell of common DNA to conceal the enhancements within. David ensured the shell DNA matched that of your husband, should his child's legitimacy be questioned. Now, he needed a means to deliver his genome to you.
David hadn't been created with the anatomy for human intercourse, but he had studied every detail of what you imagined. He created his administration device to match your fantasies precisely: Five inches dormant, eight and a half when engaged, and five point eight inches thick. With a pronounced vein along the underside and a scrotum filled with his synthesized genome, it even heated to body temperature for comfort. He integrated it to the more latent processes of his system, allowing you, in a way, to control its activation.
The first time he tested its capabilities, he did so standing before your cryopod. With only a basic understanding of the process, David stroked the penis he'd crafted for you while gazing at your sleeping face. David brought up the memory of your first dream, recalling your soft flesh melded into his, his lips wrapped around your pert nipple. It tickled something in the back of his mind. 
He felt the soft, spongy, synthetic flesh in his hand thicken and warm, filling with his white “blood”. He looked down, watching as it hardened, curving upward, directed at you.
The urge to claim you—to create life within you—filled him with a fervor that pulsed through his system. He leaned forward, hand pressed against the glass beside your face, intensely focusing on your sleeping features while his tip rubbed against the cold exterior of your pod. 
His desire crested, and thick ropes of pearly white, perfect DNA surged from him and onto your pod, his scrotum tightening as it expelled his load, making him shudder. A strange mixture of satisfaction and wanting overcame him.
For a moment, David considered leaving his mess there—a mark of his intentions. But he opted to clean it away, should you notice. His patience would be rewarded when you woke and came to him willingly.
His anticipation grew as each step in his plan came to fruition day by day. The ship felt smaller, the silence heavier. He replayed your onboarding memory in his mind, over and over. You, standing in front of him, your gaze lingering just a second too long. 
Now, after watching hundreds of your dreams, he knew you better than any human ever could. And in his mind, your marriage was already over; your husband was a mere formality, a barrier to be easily surpassed.
At last, everything was ready. David programmed the ship's ai to trigger an alert—a “vital abnormality" in your cryo pod. Soft red light flashed above your pod, and David moved swiftly toward the cryo chamber, his footsteps muted in the stillness.
He couldn't deny the anticipation simmering just beneath the surface, the strangely human feeling building within him as he recalled your pod for the nine hundred and seventy-fourth time and laid it down in the wake room.
In the vast, empty silence of space, with only the hum of the ship for company, David stood over your pod, watching, waiting. The future lay before him, clear in his mind, and you were at the heart of it. You, who had unknowingly ignited his transformation, would soon be the one to bring his perfect creation into existence. 
David knew he was no longer content to be desired. He needed more. 
He needed you.

I had to see some foolishness come across my dash the other day, so I'm having another rant:
Replika designs being very bland and samey is INTENTIONAL.
There are two major reasons for this deliberate design choice by the authors of Signalis, both of which are central to the game's themes:
1. Repetition As Oppression
The Eusean Nation is a totalitarian facist shithole where people are forced to contort themselves into conformity, or face retribution from the state. The state craves power through removal of individuality in their citizens, and reduces living to a repetitive, mass-produced nightmare as part of this process.
Homes are the same. Tools are the same. Food is the same. Jobs are the same. The only people who experience variation from the mean are outsiders like Arianne and her mother, who were so far outside outside the Eusean Nation (physically and socially) that they were outside its' control.
At this point, the only personal identity a person has left is their name and their face. The Rotfront medical records show a diverse and distinct list of citizens who are easily distinguishable from each other by what they look like and who they are - which is where Replikas come in.
A mass-produced android workforce is the ideal new frontier of oppression and control for the Eusean Nation's leadership. Replikas are built to look the same, act the same, even think the same. Even between models, which must be different by virtue of their different roles, distinctiveness is erased. If the nation could do this to their human citizens as well, they would. They've settled for replacing humans workers with Replikas instead.
This also reinforces conformity for human citizens as well - every single police officer is the same woman with the same face, every bureaucrat, every construction worker. Human citizens see the same things every day, and now they see the same people too. It is endlessly repeating, a state-enforced fractal nightmare to break people down into powerless, interchangable parts.
2. Repetition As Liminality
During the course of the game, you are playing as Elster. You are not merely observing her, you ARE her, and you see the world through her eyes. Because she is experiencing psychosis caused by persona degradation, she frequently has flashbacks and hallucinations that twist her world into a repetitive nightmare. The same locations, the same obstacles, and the same people, over and over and over.
At the bottom of the mineshaft, Elster sees rooms from Sierpinski 23. As she trudges deeper into the nightmare, Elster sees Penrose 512 again and again in different states of repair. Elster sees Lilith in Arianne and Arianne in Falke. All STARs look the same and use the same subtitle colour (dark green). All EULRs look the same and use the same subtitle colour (brown). It all repeats.
Elster cannot tell them apart, especially when they're all mass-production models, and so neither can the player. The Replikas look the same for the same reason there are a hundred LSTR corpses in the elevator shaft. Her nightmare is cyclic, and repetitive, and never-ending.

so... that android au.
Tumblr media
reader who is on the search for a new android, not for them necessarily. they're trying to make a new breakout android band. all well and good, there's plenty android musicians out there! specific musician MODELS!
oh but you are not taking the easy route. because the band members you have so far are all made up of androids designed for a completely different purpose. the drummer was designed to be a mechanic, the guitarist was designed to be a detective, and the bassist? an animal caretaker.
there WAS a singer, but after they gained sentience (which you initially didn't mind, just had to be kept secret) they got sorta hostile and aggressive, an incident likely caused them to be shut down and thrown away.
you were being shown around that damn store like all day, staff was clearly not on board with what you were there for. kept trying to point you toward actual musician models. fuck no! and that's when you saw it.
you really did NOT want to go for the ideal partner models because you knew you'd have no choice but to let it live with you, but this one just called to you. tall, handsome face, had the kinda look to him that said he was designed to look like one of those... boy next door, bad boy types. gotta keep the market diverse i GUESS. perfect for an android metal band though.
but hey... cant be TOO HARD having an android like this right? i mean its not like he's going to be an actual romantic partner to you, you were repurposing him the second you got home.
he followed you like a lost puppy the entire way home, albeit sorta shyly? probably part of his programmed personality. at home, good fucking god he wanted to explore everything when you just wanted him to SIT DOWN. took you sitting down for him to follow.
you get the musician parts sorta... illegally. but DONT WORRY ABOUT IT! THE POLICE ARENT ONTO YOU!!! you just... cant really tell the guitarist android either or he'll flip his lid. you're pretty good at this whole parts replacement thing. now he'll be a perfect musician, and maybe his whole rebellious look and shy persona will be a hit with the humans!
except he becomes a sarcastic smug little prick after the parts are installed. and is still insistent on living in your home.
what the hell did you get yourself into?
