I'm sorry, Deadman, I can't pay attention to your exposition rambling about the Death Stranding lore. You're very distracting

[haliyamori]

(i'm not that far into the game yet.)

Found Deadman in a Babylon 5 comic

DJABDJNKLSMA They look so pure and happy, the dorks >w<

Art Base Here [x]  (2nd Panel) 

I saw the base and I just thought of these 2 Science dorks sharing theories or something and being so happy and excited to talk to each other. c:

So... If Fragile had to teleport the DS cast with the forehead touch, how would you think they'd react to it? Like, for example, we saw Sam focusing and closing his eyes immediately, without a word.

Well, shit that’s a great question and I’ve been stumped 😂but after a while marinating on it mentally, here’s my two cents: 

Diehardman

Seeing as they are both reserved people, I think Diehardman would try to keep his composure, but there’d be little facial tics he’d display that would show he’s nervous about the arrangement. His body would be tense, stoic if anything, trying to put on a brave face.

Deadman

Based on the affection he openly gives to Sam, I could see Deadman smiling the whole time. The fact that he gets to witness the beach, especially since he claims he doesn’t have one himself, would be exciting for him both on an emotional and career level since he’s a scientist. He’d probably be jumpy much like a kid would be at getting a present and Fragile would have to tell him to concentrate a few times. 

Heartman

I think he’d be very open to it, maybe a little jumpy at first because of the initial closeness but as soon as they’d touch heads he would feel contentment. Also since going to the beach isn’t his first rodeo, he wouldn’t be as nervous like most folks. This would very much be a zen moment for Heartman. 

Mama/Lockne

I think these two would relatively share the same quirks under this circumstance. They’d enjoy the closeness, and would probably wrap their arms around Fragile’s waist and maybe say something motivating to Fragile before they’d go to the beach. 

Amelie/Bridget

**Insert Kill Bill siren**

Higgs

I have two options for him in this case. One, when he was a porter and working with Fragile, I could see Higgs being nervous and trembling but nonetheless, he has a smile on his face because of the connection he has with Fragile. Second, post-teaming up with Amelie, he’d probably keep his eyes open and would stare the whole time because he doesn’t want to show any vulnerability or weakness. He’d also try to keep his body composed much like Diehardman but he’d shake from time to time indicating there’s a part of him that’s fearful. 

Cliff 

He’d be very comfortable, maybe happy especially if he is concentrating on a memory involving his wife or child. I could see him resting his hands on Fragile’s shoulders with his eyes closed and smiling proudly. It’s his way of letting her know he’s thankful for helping him in this manner.

Deadman's most normal reactions to Sam simply existing (this is part of a twitter trend)

Study using a photo I found on pinterest and turned them into Sam and Deadman

Some studies on DS2 Deadman (a bit of DS1 too), I also tried to explain how I simplify his features, including for a chibi, furry and genderbend version. It's been a long time since I last did a study on him, I missed this :')
