──── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ────

It was just another day for Gi, another day of exploring what used to be Gardenview before the Incident happened. She was on Vee's gameshow floor, watching the video that was on the TV, watching how Veronica and Vee interacted. She was curious, hand to her mouth, head tilted. Veri seemed so much more shy than she was now, and seemed so anxious when she pet Vee in the video, it made her wonder if Vee helped her change. That would've been cool, to be a massive influence on someone you love dearly, like how Vee loved Veronica and helped her change for the better. Though she soon turned back to one of the walls in the room, as it was oddly blank, just having one of those Vee posters on it. Gi walked over and rolled up her sleeve, gently feeling it out with her bare hand. While most of the wall felt like a wall, there was a weird rectangle shaped area that didn't feel like the rest. She curled her fingers in and followed the shape, scratching off the wallpaper as she went, revealing what was definitely a door hidden in the wall for some reason.

"Secret door, smart." Gi whispered to herself, feeling out around the door until she found it, a secret button. Pressing it let her right in, and she did storm right in, just to find-

Vee?

But... Turned off, slouched, huddled in a corner. Chrome. Updated. Antennae fixed, the signature bend of her right antennae no longer existed. It was like Vee was replaced... By herself... Gi didn't know how to feel about it. She slowly walked over and gently cupped the corner of the other's screen in her hand, looking at the power button in curiousity and fear. She thought for a few minutes, then pressed it. Nothing happened for a minute, and Gi honestly was really sad and had gotten up and started walking away, until-

POWER ON

Gi froze at the sudden sound of the overly familiar voice, then spun and looked at the robot. It- she- they- whatever was now standing, the familiar lime green smug smile and matching green eyes now on the screen, eyes looking directly at her─

She was face to face with Vee Version Two in seconds.

"Don't be shy my dear! Vee is always open to new people, young and old! What's your name, Contestant Number One?" The robot continued, making Gi swallow hard, blushing even more from being very overwhelmed when she was pulled close to the other.

"Well hello and welcome to Vee's gameshow!" She greeted, hand now holding Gi's shoulder and the other held her shiny, beautiful matching green microphone. Gi just stayed frozen, silent, jaw dropped, face warm.

"Gi-"

"OH GIGI RIGHT? I remember you, you always kept saying how shiny I was, you were an amazing contestant in the last show! Amazing seeing you again, old friend!" Vee(?) cheered, making Gi shake her head.

"No-no Gigi is my sister, i-it's only Gi. Uhm... You are very... Very shiny and... P-pretty though-"

"Why thank you!" The robot said with a wink, making Gi feel something she honestly couldn't explain.

"Uhm... Do... You even know what happened...?" Gi slowly asked, making the other Vee blink a few times.

"What happened to what now? My data is not processing any changes. OH! Are you here to give me my new schedule? Oh silly me, I forgot there were going to be changes in recording times!"

"No, uhm, I don't know how to tell you this but- Gardenview completely shut down ten years ago." Gi bluntly told her, making the robot laugh like she told a joke.

"What do you mean it shut down ten years ago? I was only powered off for-... Eleven... Years..." The robot said, going quiet as she slowly realized what happened. Gi watched as the other Vee slowly went from overly confident to confused, then defeated and uncertain.

"Eleven years... I was in repair... For eleven years... I was told it was only for an hour... I... What... How... How do I..? This isn't in my programming-? WHAT DO I DO IT'S NOT IN MY PROGRAMMING?!" She screeched, tears filling her digital eyes as she started to tremble, obviously not certain about anything anymore. Gi panicked and gripped the sides of the other's screen, making the robot turn so fast she tumbled over a little and-

They accidentally kissed.

They were frozen, face to face, eyes huge.

This was an accident- surely- it wasn't intentional on either end-

But neither wanted to move. So they just stood like that, confused, uncertain, blushing like mad until the other Vee moved away quickly like she was on fire.

"I AM SO SORRY-"

"I'm sorry- I shouldn't have grabbed you, I didn't know what to do!" Gi blurted out, flustered to hell and back now. The other Vee gently shushed her with a finger to her mouth.

"It's okay, we're both fine, right? The cameras didn't catch any of it! The show's still on and I'm the star! It's okay! IT'S OKAY!!"

"I... I'm sorry but the show was cancelled ten years ago..." Gi very softly corrected, watching the robot finally give in and sit on the floor with a sad sigh and tears in her eyes yet again.

"But... Show cancellations aren't in my programming... I... I don't know what I am... I was only programmed to run shows and host meet and greets, I'm supposed to be confident and have so much joy and love I- I don't know who I am anymore..." The second Vee stated softly, shaking as she started rocking back and fourth on the floor, hugging her knees. Gi sat down beside her, still flustered from their accidental kiss, but willing to help in every way possible.

"I know exactly how it feels... I'm... I actually wasn't supposed to be a toon, I was just a clone made out of ichor. I was never supposed to learn anything about Gardenview, I was just supposed to grab supplies for the living toons and keep the generators running- I was never supposed to know what I was. Then one day, I found myself face to face with the original me and... All of a sudden, everything stopped making sense. I understand everything you feel, the confusion, the heartbreak, the fear, the everything- and if you want, I'm right here to help you. It'll be okay, I promise, it's okay to not be what you're made to be. It's what makes us special." Gi explained, holding out her hand for the other. The Vee smiled and carefully took it, gripping her light blue hand tight.

"Thank you... I... I don't know what to say..."

"And that's okay, we can sit here until you feel ready to see everything. I can't wait to show you my world, Vivi."

"It's... Just Vee, bud."

"You're version two, right? Vee Vee, two Vee, Vivi." Gi stated, making the other Vee look at her in thought, then nod.

"I'm guessing you know version one then?"

"Yup, she's as happy as could be, she really likes Shelly, they kiss all the time and hug and- wait do you know what affection is? Uppies? Any of that?" Gi asked curiously, making Vivi shake her head, eyes focused on the floor, body still shaking a little bit.

"I... Was never allowed to touch guests... I don't know what got into me- I... I shouldn't have touched your shoulder without permission, or pulled you near me, or any of that! I just... I don't know." Vivi explained softly, making Gi's eyes widen yet again as she gripped Vivi's hand. Vivi immediately gripped it back tight, looking at Gi curiously, her antennae giving a subtle flick. A slight, subtle glitch. Gi didn't even notice.

"I need you to trust me, I want you to come meet my family, you HAVE to learn what uppies are." Gi said firmly, getting a shocked look from the robot.

"I am property of Gardenview, if I leave, I'm stolen property- they'd be arrested for theft!"

"I would steal your soul in a heartbeat." Gi blurted out, putting her other hand on Vivi's cheek as she squinted at her.

"Fine. But you have to bring me back here if I don't like it." Vivi muttered after a lot of thinking, sitting right up and letting go of Gi's hands.

"I don't care if the evil humans catch me, I will bash them with chairs just to rescue you. I don't care how many people I have to knock out, I don't care how many chairs I'll break, I don't care- I just, I could never live with myself if I let anyone else get hurt here. Please... Trust me, Vivi. It's so much brighter outside." Gi softly said, moving closer to the robot as she spoke. Vivi silently watched her, her hands both in Gi's, desperate. Desperate for touch, for love, for genuine care. Vivi leaned her screen in and rested her head against the gachapon's, the two closing their eyes as they convinced themselves to trust the other. That this was a good idea, that everything would be okay if they went through with this dumb idea.

"If─ You let me try out the games on my floor, I've always wanted to try them out but I was always too busy to." Vivi quickly added on, getting a chaotic smile from Gi.

"You better let me play too!"

"Obviously, they're for all ages and everyone, unless you want to make it a competition- but I'll win, I was kind of programmed to be really good at the games to make it challenging for adults." Vivi replied, making Gi stand up and gently help Vivi up on her feet as well.

"I don't care about winning, I care about you feeling okay again." Gi admitted, making Vivi laugh a little, obviously thinking it was a joke. Though she went silent when she realized that she was being completely serious. Vivi just stared at her after that, blushing a little bit herself now.

"I'm... Flattered you actually... Care about that, but I assure you, I can't feel anything- I'm just a robot."

"You're more than your code." Gi stated, serious. Vivi blinked at that, her antennae twitching again. Gi noticed, but just smiled.

"You're way more than your code, way more than just a robot, you don't have to pretend anymore- I DON'T PRETEND ANYMORE! Nobody's here to tell either of us what we are anymore- you're Vivi, I'm Gi, and we're much more than just, stupid clones made to make other people happy. We can make ourselves happy- each other happy, if you believe in yourself. So come on, let's be stupid, let's do stupid things, play stupid games- we deserve to have fun!" Gi said, though she didn't move just yet. She watched Vivi closely, watching the robot process everything, her eyes showing all the emotions that her screen couldn't. Another twitch.

"I'm... Vivi... And I deserve to have fun." She stated quietly, sounding like she didn't believe a word she said. Gi just nodded once, firm. Vivi finally smiled a genuine smile.

"Then show me how you have fun, let's... Let's have fun!" Vivi proclaimed, as if it was a civil duty to have fun. Gi just laughed and nodded, grabbing the shiny robot's hand again and leading her off.

The first thing they tried together was a dance game, and they both were incredibly good at it, well until Vivi tripped on her own tail and crashed onto Gi. However- the gachapon just burst out laughing after making sure they were both okay, so Vivi just laughed it off right with her, pretending she meant to do that when they both knew it was a genuine accident. They then tried some old school arcade games, which Gi... Really sucked at.

"I don't understand these ones..." Gi muttered, getting a glance from Vivi.

"Oh- here, I'll help, uhm, I can still touch you, right? Your hands?" Vivi asked, walking over to the gachapon carefully. Gi just nodded, smiling at her.

"Girl you don't need to ask every single time, I don't care, ever! I love getting hugs and having my hands held!" Gi told her happily, making Vivi nervously smile and nod.

"Right- I'm allowed to be myself now, right."

"Absolutely, no judgement here, be yourself you shiny, bright, beautiful star!" Gi cheered, turning to face her just as Vivi leaned over her shoulder to help her. They were mere inches away from kissing on accident again, and they both were flustered immediately by it. Gi, however, decided to fuck it and leaned in, closing the gap with a very gentle and quick kiss. Though she immediately moved away again when she realized what she just did.

"I-"

"Don't. You're okay, I actually feel a little better whenever we do that." Vivi softly stated, then nervously laughed as she put her hands on Gi's.

"Uhm, yeah, the games-"

"I like doing that too... I like doing it a lot." Gi admitted quietly, making Vivi look at her again.

"I mean, I doubt it's every day you get to be this close to a famous tv host, now is it?" Vivi asked, nervous and honestly not wanting to hear the answer to that question. Gi just fully turned to her, keeping her hands where Vivi could hold them.

"I don't care how famous someone is or not, I don't care about status or whatever, I just care about who a toon is deep down inside of them. I can tell you have a lot of great things about you that you just haven't learned to accept yet, and that's okay! I'll help you, like my family helped me- and I'll show you how fun it is to be yourself and-" Gi paused when she heard a sniff, soon looking terrified as Vivi had looked away, sniffling as tears fell from her eyes.

"Vivi-"

"Thank you, for everything, Gi. I... I've realized what's happened now... I was abandoned here, wasn't I? Gardenview lost its copyright, we toons are public domain now, anyone could come in and take us and make a profit. But instead of making a profit, you- you just want us to be happy, because you actually care, u-unlike Delilah, who didn't care. She just... She made me to replace the first version so she could profit more, didn't she?"

"Yeeaahh..."

"Of course she did, of course- why else would I have been locked in a room for ELEVEN YEARS without anyone coming to find me?! Why was I so stupid?!" Vivi asked, reaching to pull her antennae, but Gi gently stopped her and held her hands instead. Vivi just stared, sniffing as she shook, crying and hiccupping and breaking down.

"Why do you even care so much..? I know you understand how I feel, but- I'm not supposed to feel-"

"Yes you are, all toons feel, clones feel things too. It's okay to feel. It's okay to be mad, to cry, to be loud and have a temper tantrum. You're okay, Viv. Trust me, you're okay, it's okay." Gi soothed, gripping the other's hands tighter. Vivi gripped them back as she looked at the arcade machine they were standing in front of, then at Gi.

"Can I scream..?"

"You can make any noise you need to."

Vivi sighed at that, then let go of Gi, turning away from her.

"One minute, please, just... One minute." Vivi quietly stated, then walked over to a nearby couch and flopped right onto it, loudly screaming into a pillow. Gi just waited, nodding.

"Yeah that is such a mood, girl. I felt that."

"I HATE EVERYTHING!!!"

"Yeah... Yeah I've been there."

"I HATE YOU SO MUCH DELILAH!!"

"Mhm, yeah, also been there." Gi shrugged, just patiently waiting, arms crossed. Vivi, not hearing either comment, just came back after her tantrum moment, holding out her hand, looking like that never happened. Gi immediately took it, gripping it tight, just like Vivi did.

"So... How bright is it up there?" Vivi asked, walking off towards the elevator, Gi quickly walking beside her and meeting her pace.

"Didn't you want to play more games before we left, Starshine?"

"I- Why are you so cute?!" Vivi blurted out, making Gi snort out of pure shock.

"WHAT?!"

"Your nicknames, your smile, the way you laugh- why are you so adorable, like a baby?" Vivi asked, squinting at the clone. Gi was silent, a sleeve covered hand on her mouth, her face coated in blush.

"I... I don't know... I'm not a baby though..."

"I know, we're both created to be adults, I know. I just... I think the way you do things is cute, ya know? I love watching you."

"Were you staring at me when you tripped-?" Gi asked in pure curiousity, making Vivi turn away with a huff.

"Of course not, I was paying attention to the game, it's in my programming." Vivi stated, though Gi could tell she was lying. Gi didn't mention it though, she just moved her sleeved hand away from her face and hit the button to go to the highest floor when Vivi lead them over to the control panel to do so.

"I think you're pretty too, Star."

"Thank you, I'm glad I'm still loved despite being abandoned."

The two went silent after that, just holding hands, staring at the elevator door as they went up. Vivi eventually leaned against Gi, Gi put her arm around her, holding her close. Protective.

"My chest feels funny." Gi stated, making Vivi nod in agreement.

"My everything feels funny, but... A good funny, I guess." Vivi muttered quietly, making Gi smile.

"Oh you'll feel that way when you try chocolate milk, it makes me feel really happy, which also feels like a good funny. Oh! We can also try feelings milk too- and cookies- and cupcakes! Cosmo makes the best muffins- I can't wait to show you those!" Gi rambled, soon going off about all her favorite things about her new life with Vivi held close. Vivi just listened, quiet, interested. She soon was smiling a genuine smile again, giggling a little.

"Sorry to interrupt, I just- I feel so great right now I wanted to thank you for it." Vivi randomly blurted out, making Gi just laugh a sweet, wholesome little laugh.

"You never have to thank me for making you feel better, silly! That's what I do now! I make everyone feel better! And I hit bad guys with chairs!" Gi explained happily, making Vivi smile even more.

"Then... Teach me how to do it too, I'd love to make people happy with you."

"I'd love to be with you too!" Gi blurted out, then paused. Vivi stared at her as Gi blankly stared at the robot.

"That's not what you said, is it?"

"No, no it is not, but I'd love to be with you too."

The two then stood in silence for a moment, then started laughing together, having no idea why they were doing so. They just- felt like they had to, like it was too joyful not to. So they laughed as they held each other, blushing and loving every second of their weirdly long elevator ride.

Except the doors were open. Have been open for a while. They just were too busy bonding to notice, and that was okay, as they were the on the one floor nobody could hurt them on. Well, except for Sprout, who was anxiously pacing as he waited for them, just to give the second Vee an odd look when he eventually found the two just standing in the wide open elevator and clinging to each other.

"Gi how the hell do you keep finding these things?" He asked when he finally saw them, making Gi pause and look at him. Vivi stared into his soul, tail wagging, Gi held protectively.

"Uhm... Greetings, Sprout."

"She was trapped in a hidden room for eleven years!! Give me a break!!" Gi replied with more sass than they all thought was imaginable from her. Sprout blinked, still having a blank look on his face.

"Gi... You're blushing-"

"I don't care. I'm taking her home and she's eating chocolate with me as she sits on my favorite chair, come on!" Gi stated, avoiding the actual topic as she gently lead Vivi away.

"Sorry Sprout, I think she really wants me to hang out with her right now, I'll catch up with you later." Vivi said as if she wasn't being dragged off or wasn't in a closet for eleven years. Sprout blinked once, twice.

"Glisten was right, nobody from Gardenview is straight. At least it's not a chair..." He softly said to himself, shrugging as he walked off behind them, tail flicking off some dirt that he accidentally dragged in from how overgrown it was. He just quietly made sure the two didn't do anything too crazy, watching as Gi genuinely did show Vivi all her favorite things- and watched as the two crashed out hardcore on the couch that night, Gi cuddling Vivi just like she's watched Sprout hold Cosmo in his sleep plenty of nights before.

Cosmo just looked at them after they had bundled the two up in blankets, eating a red velvet cookie.

"We're... Not going to tell Vee about this, aren't we?"

"Nobody at Gardenview is straight, huh?" Cosmo joked, getting a nod from Sprout.

"No, no we're not, especially not the fact they kissed four times while Gi was blabbing about how cool Vee's gameshows were." Sprout replied, unblinking, sitting in his usual spot with his tail curled over his feet. A cup of hot cocoa in hands, gazing out the window and looking up at the stars that dotted the night sky. Cosmo smiled at that.

"Absolutely no soul ever was straight in that rainbow filled place, that's for sure." Sprout quietly agreed, sipping his cocoa softly. Sam just silently nodded once in agreement, reading a book silently in their favorite chair. They gave up trying to stop toons from joining their large family, they just had a habit of appearing and they've accepted that now lmao

actually incredibly funny to me that ranpos entire thing centres on how his intelligence is not because of an ability or any other great thing, its just him. hes entirely, completely, inarguably human. and Yet, when it comes to dazai, so many people are Desperate that there just Has to be another explanation. his intelligence cant just be that hes unusual, no it must be a marker of separation, of difference so great it disallows the reality of his humanity.

This is the only acceptable non canon Texty design /j

More below the cut:

So basically, Texty (through reality bending magic or a mechanic idc) was accidentally granted limbs. They decided to be expressive with their design now since they had the ability to do so. They made little cat and dog ear cutouts with construction paper and got their gloves and shoes customized to look like paws. Free world ig.

Yes, Liam walks with a cane, but only actively uses it when traveling "long distance" (leaving the apartment). Texty loves to go outside and see the world, and they especially love to sing. It is their favorite thing to do while walking.

And a silly comic showing the first time Liam saw Texty with limbs. Texty were scared of Liam's reaction, but he loves his funny robot daughter-son-child-that-isn't-technically-a-child-but-acts-like-a-child thing regardless.

My apologies on the shitty emotional dialogue, I tried. Also in the canon that this exists, it is my au where aircorn is canon and they have kids so that's who Calypso is.

More will be explained if I don't get jumped for this lol. Have a good day bros :)

Let me just romanticize his current condition right now… Okay, so I don’t know much of the League of Legends lore, but apparently Viktor becomes an emotionless robot villian character. I don’t know how the Arcane series will handle him, but I assume (and it’s possibly hinted at) that his emotions will or are being numb or fading before appearing more of a robot. Anyway, imagine despite Viktor’s emotions being lost or becoming numb, the one thing he’ll never lose his is burning affection for reader, after all, she’s the love of his life. And maybe because of this, since it seems like the Hexcore is sort of sentient, it begins to respond positively towards her? So, you know when Viktor was in the Hexcore box thing healing from the explosion and when Mel tried to touch it, spikes extended out? Well imagine reader busying herself up with something else so she’s distracted from seeing wisps slowly extend out from the box to touch her, almost if Viktor desperately wants to feel her even while unconscious or the Hexcore is curious.

anon wait until you hear I wrote an entire fic just about that. if you want to read about machine vik who's kind of malicious but he's really just doing a terrible awful job at hiding his affections, check out my masterlist

and I thought of this too!!! I thought of it a lot.... but.... I can't decide how the hexcore would react. there's a scene in s1 where it appears to get angry because viktor tries to destroy it, perhaps it would carry the same anger towards you, because you are a reminder of viktor's humanity?

or maybe it would be the opposite. the hexcore sort of became viktor and it might react on his own whims and emotions. it's power is drawn to you, trying to invite you in, willing to do anything to keep you safe because that's what viktor would do.

immortal robot this, machine that lives forever that. look. my job is to manage 6 machines. they are NOT immortal. right now 3 of them have little baggies taped to their sides with pieces that flew out and notes that say stuff like 'do NOT use needle 6 it is BENT' and this is a frequent occurrence. you want to keep a machine working? u need to baby the fuck out of these things. u don't just switch one on at the beginning of the day and turn it off at end of shift. these guys will jam and bend and tangle and flash error messages you've never seen in your life. one of the long-time employees will squint at the screen and go 'oh yeah you just need to uh reach back here and there's this wheel and you just turn it. no, it doesn't matter which way, just keep doing it until it works again. easy peasy.' and somehow this works. are machines smarter than ppl? also no. this bitch gets a loose screw and insists we need to switch to a bigger frame. haha no. i will get the washer stuck to a magnet behind the big corner machine and use that to tighten your screws baby girl. oh the frame is okay now? who would have guessed. like i love machines. they are beautiful. but a machine in motion is constantly cycling parts and spitting heat and breaking down. these lovely bastards are not at all immortal. so sorry baby girls but u will not outlive your fleshy caretakers.
