I headcanon that Connor (and by extension all RK800s) was built with planned obsolescence in mind. His mission, if successful, will end in a new line of androids, so why bother keeping him long-term?
That's why it's nbd that he dies so frequently--he's built cheaply, with parts that wear down quickly.
Yes, he has very advanced software and some very sophisticated hardware (his tongue, for instance), but that isn't limited to a body. They don't have to "rebuild" the software when his body is destroyed.
There's also the weird glitching he shows in the game. Why does he twitch and blink when he interfaces with other androids, while no other android in the game does so?
I like to think that every part of him that isn't experimental, new tech is bottom-of-the-line recycled garbage.
did you guys know that i've been writing a fanfic all this time. that's why i have been gone. anyways this is arkie (as in... as in ar-key... like his model) who i created as a horror character to use in future chapters but he has found its place in my brain so hard I had to draw his ass.
faq:
Q: how fucking big is that thing
A: 2.50 meters or 8.2 foot for americans :]
Q: the fuck did cyberlife do
A: all im saying is youre probably safe from deviants and whatnot while this bad boy is in your establishment! they are supposed to not deviate even when another deviant touches them.
of course, mistakes, miracles and catastrophic failures can always happen. thats why you gotta sign a waiver!
Q: why didint you go with nines
A: i feel like nines/richard etc bring a sense of order and law and the imagery of a composed cold guy standing in the corner. Ark is unfortunately miserable and a little traumatized from what made him half-deviate
Q: is he evil
A: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Q: can we see the fic
A: of course :} https://archiveofourown.org/works/83989896
its got about 30k words so far! 3/32 :] im sure you can sense the general aura from the fact that we got this fucking thing ^ in there. big fat tldr is: murder, they gotta solve it, aw fuck this isnt just a murder its WORSE
i always love when a horror movie is like ohh we are a group of people from various backgrounds stuck together in this motel/gas station/roadside diner/grocery store/shopping mall/warehouse/underground bunker/fallout shelter/research facility/military compound/prison/police station/office building/apartment building/school/hospital/church/bar/music club/amusement park/resort/boat of some kind. the baddies are coming. quick! let us organize into some sort of social commentary
imagine you get shot in the head and then you get revived by some miracle/static electricity/rogue rat or something and your sole purpose in life is now null because you failed insane style. and the whole world is acting against everything you were taught in your grand 8 hours long life. and now your manipulative distant mother figure is dying. because of you. isnt that fucked up or what
tldr what if amanda got shut down after the best ending and this ^^^^ rat was the only one who was still connected to her by then.
I'm rewatching DBH endings and I kinda really like that Luther and Kara's relationship isn't explicitly romantic, like they both feel parental towards Alice and clearly care about each other but it can easily interpreted that their feelings towards each other are platonic/familial without romance and idk I just like it
Hii can you draw Jerry if you are still taking requests?? Like two of them maybe (like bonded stray cats)(perhaps with a large gun they have to use both bodies to hold) I don't think you ever drew them and idk I'd love to see them in your style!! :}
I had no idea what to do for a big gun they could share so I had to change it... </3
do we think androids can intentionally forget things by just deleting the data of some memories . consider w me machine connor who immediately deletes his memories of hank if hank kills himself bc he gets horribly freaked out by the grief he experiences at his absence and doesn’t want to think abt what that implies or to feel such a thing anymore
