GET OUT MY WAY. I AIN’T NEVER BEEN SAFE.
new android!gavin lore just dropped !
after some discussion, android gavin is now a department android working solely in paperwork. he is unable to act directly within cases, and the reason he begins deviating is because he can’t help but assist. the cases catch his attention and he begins getting ideas, he wants to know how investigations and interrogations are going. usually, listening in on the status is easy but knowing he could have done more had he just been able to is what pushes him to act out.
unlike mainverse gavin, GV600 is amicable. he was programmed to be a friendly face for workers & suspects to interact with as necessary. after his deviation however, he’s faced with the trauma of being treated as less than and completely rejects what he is. he runs from it, removing his LED and trying to smother ever hint and clue that could lead other’s to figure out he’s an android.
he wants to be a detective though, he knows he can help and he knows he’s good at it. it’s the spark that drove him this far, but he can’t help but feel so out of place in the department. as though he isn’t meant to be there, unwanted and underestimated.
his rage as a result of his justifiable anger is just the forefront of it. his deviation has left him without a lot of his warm amicable and “easy” behavior from before, although it’s not all gone. he doesn’t want to be easy, he doesn’t want to be overlooked and looked down on. as ugly a part of him it is, he thinks if androids want to survive and be taken seriously, they can’t be themselves. That they have to hide, because if they don’t ... if they don’t then what does that mean for him? For all he’s sacrificed in favor of just being seen as a person. He’s afraid to find out what’s left of himself, he’s confused and unsure. He’s hurt and angry and fearing the worst, for once this is a problem he can’t fight and it’s killing him.
Literally the living embodiment of “Easy for you to say. When you change, you change for the better. When I change, I change for the worse.”

@rxmodel asked : ❝ you don’t give yourself enough credit. ❞
🇮🇹’🇸 🇳🇴🇹 🇸🇴🇲🇪🇹🇭🇮🇳🇬 🇭🇪’🇸 🇺🇸🇪🇩 🇹🇴 🇭🇪🇦🇷🇮🇳🇬. many people, coworkers especially, tended to underestimate him. whether it be because of his domineering behavior, or all the time he spent seemingly slacking off on his phone at work he wasn’t sure. ( no care for all of the closed case files remaining on his desk, nor the exhaustion, connections and strings pulled to get all of it done outside of daylight hours. as far as the precinct was concerned, detective gavin reed was there for show. ) 🇦🇱🇱 🇭🇪 🇰🇳🇪🇼 🇮🇸 🇴🇳🇪 🇹🇭🇮🇳🇬 ; 🇳🇴 🇴🇳🇪 🇸🇪🇪🇲🇪🇩 🇹🇴 🇹🇦🇰🇪 🇭🇮🇲 🇸🇪🇷🇮🇴🇺🇸🇱🇾. receding back in mind and body he finds a time when there was a belief placed in him, some kind of pathway he walked guided by the elder that sat not too far from him now. a broken road of losing focus and mental exhaustion in the face of human cruelty had gotten him here. memories of his rookie days, of time spent with hank learning steady under his wing, and fussing over protocol in desperation to follow the rules. all crescendoing into a grand mess, left in the wake of it was nothing but broken mirrors, like some ill fated illusion cut short by a cruel audience. but the aim to pick up whatever was left was lost to gavin, and hank was lost unto himself. and whatever path they took now, it felt like there was no point doubling back. gavin was a different person then, and so was hank. 🇧🇷🇴🇼🇸 🇷🇮🇸🇪 🇮🇳 🇱🇦🇽﹐ 🇵🇪🇷🇭🇦🇵🇸 🇫🇪🇮🇬🇳🇪🇩 🇸🇺🇷🇵🇷🇮🇸🇪﹐ as he leans back in his chair. a look of near disbelief painted on tired features as arms cross over his chest and he scoffs, almost haphazardly attempting to cover his awe at someone honestly taking him seriously. let alone insisting, despite his brutal nature, that he ought to give himself more credit. it was too much, too much and gavin had no means of shying away from such a compliment outside of vitriol or near feigned ego.
❛ oh yeah ? ... i’ll uh keep that n’mind ❜

Nines cringes, though he should be used to the formal speech and devoid sentences by now, having been saddled with the GV for several weeks already. Of course it doesn’t share the same sentiments, it’s a machine. It’s ones and zeros, not an amalgamation of anxiety and caffeine as the human before it is. And there it is again, the reminder that humans are different, that humans are inferior and messier than the advanced system that currently keeps him company. And honestly, it’s not wrong. Ask the job market; the androids are better and more efficient and devoid of all of the pesky emotion problems.
“Well…consider it like this.” His lips feel dry, and he brings a hand up to his chest because his heart is racing. Another drag from the cigarette brings him just a little closer to sea level.
“Imagine you had a task, and you were prevented from completing it. What would you do?” He waits a few beats for the rhetorical to hang in the air, runs a hand along his slacks to fidget some of his energy away. “…You figure out another plan, of course. But your mind prevents you from executing Plan B, too. And Plan C, Plan D…to the end of the alphabet and beyond.” And, go figure? The next breath out of his lungs comes just a little easier? And it seems that grappling to explain anxiety to an android is bringing him out of it, ever slowly…Would you look at that.
“So you can’t do your tasks, and you can’t get the obstacles out of your way because the obstacle is you, it’s your own mind. So you’re just…stuck. You’re frozen.” Broken. Inferior. Just a throwaway no one wanted and wasn’t good enough. The insidious voice returns to the back of his mind, whispering around, and if he started to breathe faster again he wasn’t aware because he’s feeling very far away again suddenly and his cigarette is almost out and he needs another he needs another but his stupid hands are trembling and he can’t even ignite his lighter and stupid, he’s pathetic –
𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎’𝚜 𝚖𝚘𝚛𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚗 𝚊 𝚏𝚎𝚠 𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚙𝚕𝚎𝚡𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚎𝚏𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚝𝚜 𝚑𝚎’𝚜 𝚗𝚘𝚝𝚎𝚍. it was to be expected after all that he’d be faced with the scrutinizing gaze of humans in the station, especially given his odd “promotion” after the squad had no use for him. vitriol was to be expected, but the gentle moment taken explaining anxieties and dread to him was not. still, he stands at attention, rigid in his posture before taking on a more casual position. it’s likely the appearance had left the detective feeling rather on edge, which was the opposite of his intent here. choosing instead for a more gentle approach, he shifts his weight to one leg and crosses arms casually over his broad chest. there’s a focus in his eyes that can’t be faked, or could it? it was hard to tell these days, though his intrigue was genuine it was in all the wrong areas. yet, the slow ease of tension expelled as he explains does not go unnoticed by GV. perhaps this was ... assisting in the ways he was hoping for, though how he wasn’t quite sure.
❛ ... I see. ❜
𝚑𝚎 𝚍𝚒𝚍𝚗’𝚝, he simply couldn’t understand. but seeing as how the attention of the detective was now elsewhere, he decides to act accordingly. watching idly for a moment as he fiddles with his lighter, something nagging in the back of his mind. shouldn’t. he shouldn’t. but he does.
❛ ... you should stop smoking and come inside, detective. ❜
𝚢𝚎𝚝 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚐𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚕𝚎 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚎𝚛𝚜 𝚒𝚗 𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚝𝚘𝚗𝚎, not commanding or nagging, nor cruel. but tender, prodding and a quiet, paired with a knowing sort of look.
❛ do you ... feel like this often, detective? ❜

🇸🇴🇫🇹🇼🇦🇷🇪 🇮🇳🇸🇹🇦🇧🇮🇱🇮🇹🇾. ^
𝚜𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍𝚗’𝚝 𝚋𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝚑𝚒𝚖, those comments shouldn’t bother him. yet here they were anyhow, nagging upon his system in the most incessant way. rational thought would suggest that he would worry for his partner because the sole purpose he was created was to keep him safe. to assist him. to be of use to him. though the final way his system phrases it fringes on the unpleasant, or at least what he would assume it’d be if he could feel. so he stands there, unmoving and unbothered by the chill. hands behind his back, perfect formation, staring with near vacant expression at the detective as he speaks. a twitch of his lips, his brows, shifting to form a look of concern and confusion as he tilts his head.
❛ androids don’t ... think like you do, detective. they don’t ... feel. the only things we process are our given tasks. it’s a rather ... linear thought process. humans are ... different. very different. ❜
𝚜𝚙𝚘𝚔𝚎𝚗 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚊 𝚜𝚘𝚛𝚝 𝚘𝚏 𝚚𝚞𝚒𝚛𝚔, a cue to his misunderstandings of the species itself. illogical, emotional, hypocritical. living contradictions. it was just a fact of their existence, after all. the urge to bring up once more the urgency of that bad habit displayed before him nags at GV600′s systems, though is abandoned for a more ... warm approach.
❛ i could bother you about the temperature, or the hazard that smoking poses to your health ... but at risk of sounding like connor, I believe I’d rather ask what it is that’s on your mind, specifically. ❜

rkfinale asked : hc + Detroit
i’ve stated it before, as has neil newbon, but gavin isn’t from detroit originally. he thinks the entire idea of home itself is something you have to find, and for him, that was detroit. not exactly a wonderful place, especially after the introduction of androids and record breaking unemployment -- ( leading to a majority of friends and acquaintances turning to less than favorable means of providing. which is an entirely different headcanon in and of itself ) -- but long story short : detroit is gavin’s home.
these were his stomping grounds at what he feels to be a very pivotal time in his growth. a time in his life where he was racing to his grave quick before fowler stepped in. before his foster parents took him in. this place isn’t his home just because he grew here for part of his life, this is his city in his eyes. he’s wanted nothing more than to build detroit back up. as much as he tends to pretend everything rolls off his back, what with the jokes made in poor taste to cope, the weight of the city falling into further disarray weights heavy on his mind.
detroit isn’t gavin’s home because he grew up here, it’s his home because he chose it. and he wants to see his home thrive, he wants better days for detroit and the people who live here and struggle to get by. because he lived it, he knows it.
as full of himself that gavin is, he is a good detective. -- ( as is shown on his desk by the solved case files, and his description in the gallery. ) -- and that determination, ambition and devotion is something he holds steadfast to as one of his good qualities. after all, he’s gonna need to keep that up if he wants to see detroit become a better place.
i’d like to nominate “being a twink who gets physically picked up by a man and loses the ability to think for a few minutes” to become an officially recognized emotion

His LED goes from blue to gold and spins fast as he tries to comprehend where he is and how he got there. It’s not the DPD, but it does look a little like it. Just slightly… fake. And of course, split in half. He turns, and there should be a wall, but there are just people walking around, and cameras, and lights. And there’s Gavin, calling him bud (Bud? What?) and drinking what appeared to be the Taiwanese beverage of bubble tea. Strange, Connor didn’t think he’d seen him drink anything but coffee, at least in recent memory. “I’m not supposed to be here. Gavin, where are we?”
He can’t help but duck away a little in surprise when Gavin notices his LED. “Special effects? I was built with this, you know that.”
𝐩𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐬 𝐋𝐄𝐃 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲, flickering over his countenance is an almost childlike excitement and surprise. ❛ no way, they even got it to change colors too? ... not supposed to be here? ... is this for a bit? or are you uh -- jus’ tryin’ to get into character b’fore we start up for th’day? ❜ 𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐞 𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐮𝐩 𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐦, bringing the straw to his lips and taking another hearty sip as he awaits patiently for his co-workers to elaborate. not that he had any complaints, the entire crew had learned quickly just how familiar the duo were with one another. and certainly, if he wished to interact a bit more as their characters for fun, he was always up for it.
(failedmission) “… This isn’t the DPD.”
@failedmission
❛ uh? not the DPD? ... you good, bud? ❜ 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞, 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐏𝐃. not exactly... set split in half and thoroughly constructed as per the scenes they shot. to gavin --- or rather --- the man dressed and playing gavin --- this was as close to the DPD as they could get. setting aside the boba for a moment he shifts in his seat and offers a lazy smile as he looks the android up and down. a note of the LED rather than the green spot atop the side of his head makes eyes light up in intrigue. ❛ whoa-ho-ho, shit ! did the special effects guys step it up for somethin’ what is that? ❜

❛ fuckin' christ ! ❜ 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐬, but perhaps it was the suspense. nose of the gun trained downwards at the recognition of a civilian before he stuffs it into the holster upon his hip. some call that night about someone hanging about in a downtrodden part of town, seedy and heavy with activity. especially after the lights went down, watching with tired eyes as the home he came to know fell further and further down the rabbit hole. but now wasn't the time for reminiscing upon all that misspent youth. ❛ take it easy, alright, s'jus me . . . christ. got a call about someone skulkin around here, that you? . . . i mean what th'fuck're you even doin here? ❜ 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐠𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬, the understanding that people only ever came to this neighborhood for three reasons : one ; they made some wrong turn and tourists think this city won't chew them up and spit them out. two ; they live here and damn near got no other options. or three . . . paled gaze checks over the musician for signs of withdrawals, would know them anywhere, personal experience and not. it was his job to know, after all. ❛ wait, fuuuck, don't tell me . . . ❜
