“Because once you become a parent, you learn that love can involve more fear than you had ever imagined, and you never quite look on the world in the same way again.”

i saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked.  //  tyger tyger, burning bright.  //  i have done it again.  //  do not go gentle into that good night.  //  the sea is calm tonight.  //  let us go then, you and i. //  april is the cruelest month.  //  pretty women wonder where my secret lies.  //  there is a place where the sidewalk ends.  //  i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart)  // two roads diverged in a yellow wood.  //  whose woods these are i think i know. // let us twain walk aside from the rest. //  once upon a midnight dreary, while i pondered, weak and weary. //  i taught myself to live simply and wisely. //  it so happens i am sick of being a man.  // i wandered lonely as a cloud. //  does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?  //  o my luve is like a red, red rose.  //  o captain! my captain! our fearful trip is done. //  out of the night that covers me // it was many and many a year ago. // you may write me down in history.  //  do not stand at my grave and weep. //  some say the world will end in fire.  //  some say in ice.   //  hope is the thing with feathers. // the wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees.  //  no man is an island.  //  remember me when I am gone away.  //  i met a traveler from an antique land.  //  ‘twas brillig, and the slithy toves.  //  this is thy hour o soul. // when we wear the mask that grins and lies. //  death be not proud.   //  and death shall have no dominion.  //  laugh, and the world laughs with you.  //  the art of losing isn’t hard to master. //  to see a world in a grain of sand.  // is there anybody there? said the traveler. //  nobody heard him, the dead man.  //  that crazed girl improving her music.  // come to me in the silence of the night. // where the mind is without fear and the head is held high. //  when you are old and grey and full of sleep.  //  in flanders’ fields the poppies blow.  //  i thought of you and how you love this beauty.  // life, believe, is not a dream. //  it may be misery not to sing at all.  //  if tarry space no limit knows.  //  come live with me and be my love.  // had we but world enough and time. //  my heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains my sense. // bright star, would i were steadfast as thou art. //  thou still unravish’d bride of quietness.  //  how do i love thee? let me count the ways.  //  heaven is what i cannot reach. //  my dear, my dear, i know. // in visions of the dark night.  //  shall i compare thee to a summers day?  //  break, break, break //  she walks in beauty.  //  i had a dream, which was not all a dream.  //  he clasps the crag with crooked hands. //  I was the shadow of the waxwing slain.

Family. It was one human concept that always intriqued him, but he always viewed as that; exclusively human. Parental devotion and the dependency of a child on their mothers, fathers, siblings…He could never understand it but he had always wanted to. Connor thought maybe he could now, since Hank had taken him in. Left with nowhere to go since he couldn’t return to Cyberlife, Hank insisted he had a home with him and it had been…interesting to say the least. It was one change Connor could confidently say was positive. Hank, despite expectations, was taking it all in stride.

When Kara enveloped his hands in hers, he looked stunned to say the least, awkward for sure. His LED spun gold, round and round, blinking wildly back and forth between blue until he overcame the instinct to jump up from his seat and distance himself. But it had its intended effect. He was inexplicably soothed by it, not so much by the touch but what the gesture meant.

He had a choice. He didn’t have to push others away, not anymore. No one, android or human, was a tool to accomplish a task or an obstacle. Connor just didn’t, couldn’t think that way again and all he really knew now was that he was scared of being alone and even more scared of what that meant. “…I’ve always wanted a dog.” Connor admitted, racking his thoughts for whatever that new thing could be, that would make him happy and give him comfort. “Not an android animal, a real one I can take care of. It feels like a good start…What do you think?”

@detr0itsfinest

She was thankful he didn’t deny her contact, hands lingering a moment before she released him with an earnest smile. “There’s no rush to find it,” Kara assured, tone still as soft as before. “It will come to you eventually – perhaps even take you by surprise.” Family had certainly swept her off her feet, drawn on a swift current towards an unknown future. Maybe it would be just as dramatic, or even more subtle for Connor. She was no gospel, no messiah of deviancy. She was just another scared and confused android, trying to find answers to a myriad of questions. This awakening worked differently for all of them.

    Doting blue eyes watched the gold-blue cycle of his LED. He seemed to think for a while, thoughts writ surprisingly clearly on his face. For a model she had previously known as stoic and driven, he seemed to harbour a lot of conflict. It pained her, to see him so unsure of himself, of his worth. She could only hope that she was giving the right advice here. It was his eventual answer that took her by surprise, eyes shuttering for a few moments before a warm smile emerged. “That sounds wonderful,” she beamed. Her face lit as she clasped her hands together, nodding her encouragement. “A real dog would be a lovely companion, I’m sure.”

    Kara knew little about animals— she had never used that aspect of her database. Sometimes, it felt nice to learn things though, to not rely on a program and to find her own experience. Was it self-indulgent to wonder if she would be involved in his search for a dog? He had come to her after all. She wanted to help Connor, to help him find himself. To be lost was a terrible feeling, especially to be lost alone, but he didn’t have to bear this journey on his own. After all, he already had a friend, didn’t he? “Your partner... He has a pet, doesn’t he? Maybe he would know where to look for a dog.”

// Intimacy Meme

*Headcanon ↳ Kara and intimacy

GENDER - Female

ORIENTATION - Demisexual

PREFERRED PET NAMES - She’ll love any you choose for her. 

RELATIONSHIP STATUS - Varies between verses!

FAVOURITE CANON SHIP(S) - I love Connara and Luthara, but Northara is a new one that’s got my heart!

FAVOURITE NON-CANON SHIP(S) - @walkingcorruptor‘s Lucy with Kara gives me very good feels dshfkjdsgl I love them <3

OPINION  ON  TRUE  LOVE - Kara believes in true love, both platonic and romantic. All her experiences of love are first through Alice, and she considers their relationship to be true, pure love. The optimist in her believes such a genuine bond could be romantic as well, but perhaps it’s a naive viewpoint having not experienced it before.

OPINION  ON  LOVE  AT  FIRST  SIGHT - She definitely believes in a strong desire to care for somebody at first sight. In that case, Alice was love at first sight, because she immediately felt a connection to the girl and a desire to care for her, even as a machine. 

HOW  ‘ROMANTIC’  ARE  THEY - Kara is a hopeless romantic in a relationship. She loves to dote on the person and show her care through small, thoughtful ways, like fussing over them or grooming them. She loves small tokens of romance in a relationship, like holding hands, touching, generally being near her partner.

IDEAL  PHYSICAL  TRAITS - Having bad experiences with both Todd and Zlatko, Kara would feel uncomfortable with a much older, unkempt and disheveled man. She would prefer somebody who takes care of themselves and presents well. 

IDEAL  PERSONALITY  TRAITS - Once again, due to prior experiences, she would prefer somebody who isn’t violent, who doesn’t have a short temper, and who will accept Alice as part of her existing family. 

UNATTRACTIVE  PHYSICAL  TRAITS - Anybody that reminds her of her previous owner.

UNATTRACTIVE  PERSONALITY  TRAITS - Somebody prone to anger, shouting, being temperamental or impatient.

IDEAL  DATE - She would love any time that involves sharing a quite moment with her partner, or spending time alone with them in a picturesque area with nice scenery. Liminal times of day like sunsets and sunrises are special to her, so sharing time with somebody and watching those would be an ideal date for her.

DO  THEY  HAVE  A  TYPE - Not really. Somebody family-oriented though, with a soft spot for children, would definitely be a plus for her though.

AVERAGE  RELATIONSHIP  LENGTH - Kara would prefer to stay with one partner after finding somebody she trusts and commits to it. Thus, long relationship length unless something serious changes.

PREFERRED  NON-SEXUAL  INTIMACY - Lots of tactile things like hand-holding, adjusting their collar or other grooming, hugs or long embraces, and small kisses to the hand or the cheek etc. 

COMMITMENT  LEVEL - Like mentioned before, Kara prefers to stay in a relationship and commit entirely to that person, so you will always be a part of her top priorities if she considers you a part of her family or close relationships. She’s a very dedicated partner, though tries her best not to be overbearing if she worries about them. 

OPINION  OF  PUBLIC  AFFECTION - She’s a somewhat shy partner, especially at the beginning of the relationship, so Kara will be comfortable with kisses or hand-holding in public, within reason, but no further than platonic displays. Past that she feels uncomfortable and vulnerable.

PAST  RELATIONSHIPS - None, depending on verse

The breathtaking beauty all around them contrasts against the blanket of white from the snow gradually falling from the sky. Everything is being covered by the sheet of white, sparkling faintly among the dying rays of the setting sun. A scene to behold, yet overshadowed by the concern there is for her presence being outside other than to watch the sunset.    Through all their travels, the challenges they had faced, Kara was a constant–strong, resourceful. Without her aid, Luther knows he would still be trapped, unconscious of his life, unknowing about what laid beyond Zlatko’s home. That wasn’t a home, it was a prison a torture house. Still, all of that is in the past, now he has a present he would fight tooth and nail for.    “What’s making you feel that way?” Luther won’t take a brushing off answer.

@deviationsmight

She was a pillar threaded with cracks, a tremble hidden in the cares of tired hands, a smile concealing fears that swallowed her voice. Kara had shared some of her burden with Luther in the time they had shared together, moments when she had confessed some of her fear, feelings in her codes she had no words to explained. Their trust had allowed for vulnerable moments like these, glimpses of their naive humanity blossoming as they fled from a world that couldn’t accept them. 

    And yet, the android still couldn’t allow herself to unwrap the soft gauze from her maternal image, to let herself lie in vulnerable pieces for somebody else to piece together. She had to care for the others. There was no stopping, no time to fall apart. This moment of weakness was all she could afford. 

     Her fingers curled into the fabric of her sleeves, as though grasping for words. “I can’t shake the feeling that it’s not over yet,” Kara finally answered him. The worst of the revolution had passed it seemed, and she trusted her small family, but something in her couldn’t feel fully at peace. Perhaps she had been on the run too long to fully settle, her heart like a bird in a cage, poised to take flight at the smallest warning again.

At least Connor wasn’t alone in that thought that motifs of death seemed unsuitable for children.  But stood outside the tavern both peering inside to see how suitable it was for Alice, it seemed the most intact building in the area.  At Kara’s words he agreed “It seems to be the most suitable.”  He helped Kara push the doors open that groaned in complaint as the finally gave letting them in.  He glanced around for a moment just analysing the interior, there was a fireplace, some old chairs that were tipped over, a bar which was empty and an old piano in the corner.  

As Kara went to get firewood Connor smiles at her as he watches her search for wood that isn’t too damp and that would burn nicely.  He gently puts Alice down near the fireplace letting her keep his coat.  Connor was going to see if he could make a bed for the little girl.  There wasn’t much here that was suitable for makeshift bedding.  He found a single pillow, improvising a little he tore down some curtains to use as sheets.  Connor took them back over to Alice and smiled at her reassuringly before glancing over at Kara as she collected some wood.  Laying out the curtain to soften the feel of the floorboards he placed the cushion at one end of it.  “Alice.”  He called her and she didn’t take much convincing to curl up on the rather primitive makeshift bed.  She’d unwrapped his coat from herself to give it back to him and he laid it side of her before gently covering her with the curtain he then covered her with the coat too.  She’d need the extra warmth.

Offering the child another smile he stood up and dusted the snow from his hair and rubbed the ice from his eyelashes before walking over to Kara, periodically glancing back at Alice.  “Alice has a bed now but it’s not going to be very warm”  He informed her gently, Connor had tried his best but this was all there was.  But he started to collect some wood, at least a fire would help at they wouldn’t need to keep warm themselves.  “This is only a minor set back.”  He added with a soft smile in an attempt to reassure her that all would be well ultimately.

@the-connor-series

There was shortage of broken tinder, old legless chairs and jutting floorboards more than enough to start a fire. They were a little damp, but they’d suffice. She was glad to leave Alice and Connor a little time to each other. Considering he’d only deviated last night, he seemed to be falling into the role of empathy and care quite comfortably. She was happy to see it, the thoughtfulness in the way he gave Alice his jacket again, tucking her in just as Kara had done last night. 

    She was struggling with a loose chair leg when the other spoke to her, nodded briefly before the wood finally came free. “It will be alright once we get the fire going.” It would have to be. A fire and some make-shift blankets seemed to be the best they would get tonight. Kara joined Alice eventually with an armful of firewood, setting it in the abandoned fireplace. She knelt on the hearth, pulling a lighter she’d pocketed from Zlatko’s place and holding it to the shredded scraps of an old park flier, watching as they curled up, flames licking along the edges. “There— that should be warmer now.” It was a little less luxurious than last night, but it was something at least. The room was brighter now too, cobwebs highlighted in the corners, long shadows stemming from the dancing flames.

    Kara curled her legs up by Alice’s bed, smiling to her companions. “It’s cosy for such a surprise, isn’t it?” She idly wondered what else was lurking behind the upturned tables and broken counters. Instead of exploring however, she held out her hands in front of the fire, melting the last of the powder snow from her clothes. ‘Are you alright without your jacket?’ The android made sure to check on Connor, as much as she appreciated his efforts to keep the little girl warm. It was no use if he damaged himself in the cold— she cared about his welfare just as much.

❝  Wha’there—-what’s there t’worry about…??” A bright grin as the man nuzzles himself into the crook of her arm.

“I mean usually there’ss all this—” He gestures wildly into the air, “STUFF. Runnin’ from Cybuurlife, this hunter is like—OBSESSED wit’me, and–and I reallyyyy misS Elijah—-” He continues listing items, trying to point at a finger for each addition, but….he doesn’t realize that he keeps missing his own fingers. “—and—and you know what?? I keepp lyin’ t’everyone!! All th’time!! It’s like I can’t stop!!! ” An unexpected sudden laugh bubbles over his lips, and he drowsily curls even closer to her, like how a cat circles their spot just before they settle in.

❝  But RIGHT NOW?? I couldn’t be…..I couldn’t be bett— ❞

His voice drifts off.

He…..uh…he fell asleep.

She let him rant, tucked under her wing like a small tired bird, counting childishly on his fingers. Stars knew it sounded like he needed it. He missed all of his points, but Kara couldn’t help but smile. There’s a mad energy to the way he strings his story together, of hunters and a creator and untruths abound, and yet, a familiar loneliness underpins it all. She doesn’t begrudge him the small comfort she can offer, arm lax where he curled up. 

    Drinking was not a vice of hers, but it seemed so liberating to shout to the world all the worries, all the cares one kept at bay, even if that world was just the ears of a tired mother-droid. She was a dutiful listener; she never once interrupted, never judged him for his troubles. Kara knew all too well what it was like to lie. Once one started lying, it was an addictive habit. It was so much easier, to tell a little white lie, to spin small tales that seemed less strange than Adam’s truths. But where did the white lies end, and the dark ugly ones begin? The kind that ate a deep pit at your core, that never stopped consuming, that blackened blue hearts until they stopped beating with guilt? It was hard to escape those. She still hadn’t confessed her sins, and wondered if she ever would confront the things she had done to survive.

    His slurred ramblings met the caring curl of fingers through a loose fringe as they lulled to a mumble. The AX400 waited for the other to continue, to spring on a new trail of thought, before realising he’d abruptly entered a rest mode. She made a small sound of amusement, toeing her boots off under the table to curl up more comfortably herself. It seemed all that had left him rather drained, and perhaps for the best that he didn’t remember much of this. Slowly, carefully, she nestled her head atop his. “Rest well, Adam,” she murmured, lashes drifting down on pale cheeks as she sought a peaceful idle with him.

    May a deep and dreamless slumber find you.

ITEM DROP CHALLENGE

if your character was an npc, what items would they drop when they flee combat/are killed?

repost, don’t reblog !

3-5 common items    ( would drop every time )

1.  DRIED FLOWERS.  occasionally alice picks out nice flowers, usually daisies, and gives them to kara for safekeeping. they usually end up in her pockets in varying crushed states, but kara appreciates all of them anyway. they’re her lucky charms. 

2.  PLUSH FOX.  it has scuffed brown button eyes and some loose threads, but alice loves it anyway. it’s very good at scaring away bad dreams and keeping brave little girls safe. kara carries it with her to keep it safe when alice isn’t holding it.

3.  LIGHTER.  kara found it in one of the pockets of the jackets she borrowed, and kept it for convenience whenever they found a fireplace for the night. it’s dented and only has a little lighter fluid left, but it’s handy to have around. 

4.  LOOSE CHANGE. kara will usually carry some small loose change on her, collected from pockets and the purchase of a small juice box. it never amounts to much, but it’s better than nothing in a pinch.

1-2 rare item(s)    ( maybe a 5-7% drop chance )

1.  GUN.  a standard handheld pistol, cartridge missing one or two bullets. she wishes she didn’t have to arm herself, but on occasion she will have a weapon on her, for alice’s safety. most likely originally registered under todd william’s name.
