Question just for fun, feel free to ignore of you want: What if everytime Connor left his home he came back to find that all his furniture had been moved around. How would he react? Nothing is stolen or messed up, just moved around.

Unprompted questions || Always accepting

Connor, in pretty much every verse, lives with Caleb @9th-in-a-line, Connie @detective-rk400 and Gavin @an-unlikely-duo though, the owner of the house tends to switch depending on the verse. In the main verse, Connor owes the house but has the deed in Caleb's name, unbeknownst to him for various reasons.

If Connor came home to everything moved around, he'd partly wonder why but just shrug at the difference, so long as he has his spot on the couch, he's content. However, if someone went into his room and moved everything around, he'd be downright pissed and blow a gasket. So much so, that he'd probably abandon everything and leave.

This seems like an overreaction but Connors very territorial over the things he's claimed as his own. It's a common rule within the household that everyone has their own room and others are not to enter it without permission. Unless of course there is some sort of emergency, like a pipe breaking, otherwise, no one has any reason to go snooping in each other's rooms.

point is, Connor car and his room are the only places currently he feels comfortable enough to relax and try and be himself without eyes on him and judgement from others. His rooms might be severely lacking in decor and personality but that's for him to decide and not for others to fix without his knowledge. It be an invasion of privacy that Connors very desperately trying to keep and a betrayal of trust.

[Verse] Give A Dog A Bone AU

(This is a work in progress and really, there will probably be several variants to this AU because its really just for the hell of it.))

Either by mistake, on purpose or as a means of self preservation, Connors AI has been temporally transferred into an Android Poodle, PD800. PD800 is simply a glorified poodle show dog model. 

Indications that it’s an android are on the wrists of each paw, however this models fur on each paw masks it a bit. The collar would also glow faintly and react the same way an androids LED would react to changing information. Calm = blue, processing information / partly stressed or concerned = yellow, stressed / angry / scared = red.

The PD800 model’s takes on the traits of a poodle and it’s means of communication would be simple. It acts like a normal dog / show dog but if in need of repairs or Thirium, a message could be sent to another android or assigned text to a cell phone. In an event of it getting lost, it can detect a near by cellphone / tablet and text it.

However, given the the PD model will have Connors advanced AI, Connor will be able to communicate the same way. He can’t physical speak in this form, he’ll bark, growl and whine but can telepathically talk to other androids and through texting human devices. He’ll also show more humanistic gestures, such as placing a paw over his snot to face palm and retain his normal memories prior to being a dog. So this will run long side the main verse unless stated otherwise. It might be obvious that this model isn’t your everyday android dog but unless Connor reveal's to you who he is, your muse shouldn’t know what he is and consider it a deviant at best.

Connor will have a lot of advantages as well as disadvantages while being a dog. Such as being very agile and quick but not being able to turn a door knob. I look forward to the weird situation he might get into and the goal is generally for him to get loaded back into this body but in the event he does ‘die’ his AI is backed up and will simply never remember being stuck as a dog and won’t believe anyone telling him otherwise lol.

Random thoughts.

I was just laughing to myself at the time Connor jumped throw a broken window and like spectacularly failed by tripping himself up and was as ungraceful as one could be.

Now I know this was by design because Bryan said that he wanted to show that Connor wasn’t perfect, which I 100% love and respect.

but in a muse point of view, I like to try and apply logic to what the muse does and I was trying to think of why Connor would trip up so badly because he’s not without grace, he couldn’t fight of an army of 10 with ease if he wasn’t.

So what if it was the fact that Connor panicked seeing Hank on the floor? not because he was concerned for Hanks well being but because if Hank was dead or hurt, it would severally derail his mission and as much as I hate it, at least to my Connor, that was the priority at the time. Amanda, after al, stressed to him that it was important to work with Hank and he had to work with Hank regardless of the issues Hank had. So, seeing Hank on the floor made him scramble and irrationality took over, tripping him up. 

When he got his barring, you can sort of see Connor’s not amused because he’s now able to see hanks more likely passed out drunk before he even bothers to scan him and that overly aggressive slap to the face might have been a small slip of deviancy because he was irritated with himself for how he previously acted?

Because Connor has a problem or it's his ongoing midlife crises as duo’s put it, he’s made me re-renovate the house. Overall, the outside has stayed the same, those gaps do have gates but the gates in the si/ms would not do them justice, so let's pretend that they’re there. While these gates are always closed, you can always get into the property freely, just not into the house without setting off the alarm or the dogs.

Renovation - Previous layouts 1 and 2

First picture from left to right.

Pictures 1, 2, and 3.

The overall layout of the house.

Picture 4 

The big gray area is the garage, it can hold 3 cars plus 3 motorcycles if maneuvered right. To the right of that is the new entrance into the house, which flows better into the foyer and into the main living area of the house. To the left of that is Connor’s office for all his business needs. On top to the garage is the mudroom, which has the washer, dryer, and entrance to the left side of the house. Left of that is a fully functional public bathroom. Left of that is the foyer to go up or downstairs. Left of that is the entrance to Connor's new room, to which the bathroom and his office are only accessible from.

Picture 5

The left side is the living room/ kitchen with the more ideal looking couch. Other than that, not much has changed. Far left, just above Connor’s room is his on suite bathroom that used to be open to the guest by the kitchen but can’t any longer. above his bathroom is Caleb's master kitchen that hasn’t changed.

Picture 6

Is the backyard, technically it shouldn’t have changed but I removed a tree and added a glass awning to be able to enjoy the outside, rain or shine.

Picture 7

again, this part of the house technically hasn’t ever changed but the layout always annoyed me. so left to right, Caleb's on-suite bathroom, accessible by the walk-in closet in Caleb room. Next to that is the rabbit room. Top left little room is Calebs ‘tinker room’ which was always an annoying small room but is now big enough to house the equipment needed to diagnose problems and make quick repairs. This is more or less Caleb’s private room to which Lucy might use when talking to Connor. Left of that is another family area, more suited for lazy hangouts with friends and kids. The room to the far right was Caleb’s original tinker room but gave it up when he got serious with Gavin and then converted it to a bedroom for Gavin’s daughter Suzi.

Picture 8

This is where the real renovations start, turning his old bedroom into three other guest rooms with a shared bathroom. These rooms could be turned into offices but are just generally open for guests to stay over in.

Picture 9

The basement ‘never’ changed but now the layout is better but because the si/ms doesn’t have pole dancing, because Gavin made a good enough argument to have it, there would be a pole in the middle of the gym area and the sauna is now in the right place now.

Picture 10

This is the side building / extra garage on his property that houses his boat. there used to be music-related stuff there but since Caleb wanted a place to grow stuff and with eco-living out, it’s been converted into more of a green space.

If you’ve gotten this far, GG. thank you for dealing with my insanity lol

Headcanon #whoknowswhatnumberimuptoo Appeals to Verse reverse too.

While Connor doesn’t generally play games, when he does it’s normally in an attempt to past time and there is really nothing better for him to do. In the deviant verse as well as the reverse verse, Connor has a cell phone he’ll make calls with the take pictures with. On this phone, he’ll also play mini-app games that peak his interest at the time.

In both verses, Connor has a few anger issues, never violent towards people, maybe only in terms of yelling but his anger is primarily taken out on inanimate objects. 

Connor hates games of chance. If he plays a game, it needs to be skill-based in which he can control. Racing games are his go-to, Games that make him think and solve are also great. games in which have a luck based element to it and he loses one too many times in a row will cause him to pitch and break his phone, resulting in him having to get a new one and go throw several in a year's time.

headcanons: 11, 13, 22, 29, 30

Detailed headcanon meme || Accepting

11. Intellectual pursuits?

He does like to better himself and he’s more or less willing to try and do anything. Right now, considering he’s been alive for only a little over a year and a half-ish. He’s diving into being a police officer and why he’s on patrol right now. He started out as a detective, ended up getting a job offer to be a paralegal and duel work it for a year. Working as a paralegal in the morning an officer / detective at night. He quickly grew tired of working as a paralegal after seeing how unjust it was and switched to following in his brother’s footsteps to get his police badge. Something that he’s doing for himself because he wants to and not because someone suggested him too.

He’ll maybe want to branch off into other sectors of the justice system and maybe even become ems or a firefighter. Anything that deals with being good and making a difference, he’ll at some point want to do. 

13. Sexual Orientation? And, regardless of own orientation, thoughts on sexual orientation in general?

Connor sees himself as an asexual, having no real desire to have sex or tempted it for several reasons. Somewhat because of the Eden Club leaving a bad impression on him. He is, however, demisexual and really just wants to do all the cute couple stuff, wants to be there for someone and someone be there for him but figures because of his reputation and general way of being, no one would ever consider it or be patient enough to wait on him to be comfortable in his own skin. There is SO much more so this, which will probably come with the headcanon update I want to do at some point but a lot of it is on him and his own trust issues.

22. Given a blank piece of paper, a pencil, and nothing to do, what would happen?

Nothing that won’t cause him anxiety. ‘Do I write on the paper? Draw on the paper? Work on the paper? Am I allowed to use the paper? Am I expected to use the paper? What is this paper for? Who does it belong to? should I find the owner of this paper? should I ask permission?’ and the list goes on. 

Connor has very poor self-confidence because every time he thought he was doing something right, it turned out to be wrong or someone got upset, which now leaves him extremely indecisive, which highly stresses him out because he doesn’t know what action should be the right one and he’s scared poeple will get upset with him. He’ll overthink everything and why he distracts himself and keeps himself busy.

29. Reaction to sudden extrapersonal disaster (eg The house is on fire! What do they do?)

Honestly? Connor would probably work best under this kind of pressure. Using the example of the house on fire, he can give himself several key things to accomplish in the order of importance. 1. Call for the fire department. 2. Clear the house of people/pets. 3. Make sure they are safe. 4. try and contain the fire if possible and wait on the fire department. He’ll let anything that isn’t alive burn because objects are replaceable, lives aren’t and will do anything in his power to save something he deems as alive.

30. Reaction to sudden intrapersonal disaster (eg close family member suddenly dies)

He’ll not know how to function and probably lose all motivation to do anything for a while. He doesn’t know how to deal with loss and internalize everything. If they were to die suddenly and he wasn’t around to witness it. He’d probably for through the five stages of grief but if he’s somehow responsible, whether it is accidental or caused by his indecision, very little will convince him not to be deactivated.

[ihavenoside]

Friendly reminder that Connor has this picture in the main entrance of his house because he likes it, finds it funny and it’s a conversation starter that he found at a random yard sale last summer and put it up to get a reaction out of Caleb, Gavin, and his friends.

Enjoy.

Something that I think we should pay more attention too and a detail I feel gets overlooked is the fact that it looks like a good percentage of Detriot rooftops are made up of greenhouses and crop fields, which is such a good idea and needs to be implemented more in cities. 

You can see Connor chase Rupert through all sorts of fields and different greenhouses. Wheat?

Tomatoes?

Whatever this is?

Lavender?

What looks like cabbages?

A freaking apple orchard, which do you know how much dirt has to be on that roof for those trees to even be stable lol?

More of whatever this is?

Cornfield? 

Imagine how much other stuff that must be growing? The possibilities seem endless and I just think its a really neat detail that they added to added to the game.
