Gn!reader and Connor making out in a semi-public spot and Hank is just like "OMFG PLS STOP RUINING MY INNOCENCE BOY"
Maybe hcs of every time hes caught them doing a lil too much PDA wise
(Doesn't specifically have to be making out just excess PDA, maybe Connor and reader are flirting a whole lot just whatever ur comfy with!)
Authors note: IM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS IDEA.
Characters: Connor x Gn!Reader and third wheel Hank (poor guy)
⚠Warnings⚠: Semi-Public making out, mentions of dying (just a little)
🪙🪙🪙🪙🪙
The first time
-You and Connor think you guys are so slick
-Spoiler: you’re not
-You were both pretty new into the relationship so couldn’t keep your hands off each other
-And plus since the station barely had any people, why not sneak off with each other?
-Thinking it was gonna be for just a small while, you both are at the back of the station, smoochin’ away
-and surprise surprise
-you end up staying there long enough for Hank to actually end up getting worried
-like do you have any idea? how long you two have to be away for? for hank to get worried??
-Bc its not like he doesn't care or anything but he simply isn't used to having to actively keep an eye on you two
-but then them mother instincts kicked in after he noticed you two had been gone for a while
-He just starts asking around if anyone saw the two of you
-And happened to stumble in on you guys (poor dude screamed he needed bleach after walking in on you two)
-Lets just say that Hank kept a closer eye on you two after that
The second time
-You two have calmed down since the last incident with Hank walking in on you guys
-But of course you still had your moments with each other
-this time around you weren’t in that much of a public space (what you told yourself)
-just casually behind the Chicken Feed truck while Hank ate his lunch
-yknow, like how normal people do
-You two honestly don't really understand how it even happened
-You wanted a drink from a nearby shop since the drink you wanted wasn't sold at the Chicken Feed
- And Connor simply asked if he could tag along
-Aaand next thing you know you're both behind the Chicken Feed truck, drink long forgotten, with Connor trapped between you and the truck
-Of course, Hank gets worried again since he's a pretty slow eater so he doesn't know how you're still not back after all this time
he swears... that's it. jk jk, I'm just being stupid. anyways, he swears that you both are gonna give him a heart attack someday from how much he worries
-He tries calling you on his phone and gets confused when he hears your ringtone from behind the truck
-Time skip a few minutes later, Connor and you have red ears from Hanks grip and sulking in the car ride to the station after his lecture
-Mostly because he swears the two of you make him worried sick on purpose
The third time
-Ok. this time.
-You didn’t even try to hide it
-Like no joke, just decided to make out right there and then
-On Hanks couch.
-knowing he was about to be back in a little bit
-but heyyyy you both could’ve cared less in that moment
-A few hours earlier, you were after a suspect and one thing lead to another so all of a sudden, you were being held hostage
-So this making out was a bit justified since you almost died thinking that you were never gonna see Connor again
-And he was just as scared
-Soo both of ya just wanted to hold each other for a bit
-That’s probably why when Hank got back from doing whatever Hank does, he bit his tongue (literally) to stop a snippy remark from falling out
-He was just happy you were alive and you two were finding comfort in each other
-Albeit, a little grossed out at your show of affection
-He just cursed under his breath and went to go take a nap

Hell yeah i got some recs!! Most of mine are going to be more Hank and Connor or Reed900 centric, so keep that in mind.
From it's Own Wreck by Jivvin is my current favorite! It's a ghost au based on the film Just Like Heaven (2005) and it's full of gorgeous writing and has lots of great moments in it. I can't recommend it enough. It is incomplete, but the author regularly updates and it's a few chapters away from being finished.
Deviating and Solving Crime with 100% Human Detective Connor by CaptainKenway. Exactly what it says. You're solving crime with a 100% human detective, nothing else. Nothing suspicious about him. 0_0 It has some good angst and funny moments, and i really enjoyed reading it.
Detroit 07 by Rhinozilla is INCREDIBLE! It's a 38 part series (i know, im stilling working through it) and it's got so much angst, found family, comfort, crack shenanigans, and just as much plot as there is silly oneshots. It's got some OCs in it that are amazing and fit so well into the story, and it does deviate a little bit from the norm (different name for Nines for example, and no reed900) but it's still really good. Since there are so many parts to it and two of the parts are over 400k each, here are some of the smaller oneshots that can be read easily by themselves:
Color Wheel: Connor sustains minor damage to the hardware controlling his appearance. Everybody in the bullpen is united with one singular mission: do not let Connor know that his hair keeps changing colors.
The Breathing Graveyard: The DPD sends Connor to talk down a volatile deviant that's holed up in a trailer near the android scrapyard. It doesn't go the way any of them expect.
Bubbles: Connor gets stuck watching a lost little girl while they wait for her parents to come pick her up at the station.
And then i'd recommend Chapter 51 of Camaraderie if you're up for a wholesome father-son moment.
Through Your Veins by AceEmerson: Nines gets hurt and Gavin takes him back to his apartment to patch them up. There is also an android cat, first kiss, and TENSION
Secret by sv962: Role-reversal Reed900, first kiss. Tis very good. Semi-short at less than 5k and you want a good little role reversal, i recommend it.
The unexpected benefits of having a therapist terminator by texs_sins: Undeviated Nines decides to become Gavin's therapist to help improve their work partnership. 'Surely exposing himself to human emotions won't make a difference, after all nothing has ever made him deviate, right?' it's a fantastic fic and i love their take on Machine Nines and Deviated Nines. (fair warning because it's not listed in the tags, there's a little bit of smut in the last chapter, but easily skippable if you aren't up for it)
Beautifully Unique and Strange by cliffhanging: autistic Connor oneshot because we need more autistic Connor fics
Only Skin Deep by the AsexualofSpades: pre-relationship Reed900, where Nines tries to hide as much of his androidness in response to his anti-android partner five times and the one time he doesn't. It has a nice follow up fic too and i recommend it!
i think that's a fair amount to stop at, oh my god. And thanks again for your recs!! I'm gonna get reading to them tonight!! <3<3<3
Ahhh hell yes! Thank you so much!!
I have read the texs_sins fic (and most of theirs) but I'd definitely reread them bc I love them a lot so thank you for reminding me!
I am ALWAYS DOWN for more father son content with Hank and Connor, thank you SO much. It's so hard for me to find any these days.
Detroit 07... Almost sounds like a kind of Brooklyn 99 AU? In which case idk if I should read it just yet because I am also writing a dbh brooklyn 99 AU and I don't want to accidentally steal ideas or be influenced by someone else, but maybe after I post my own work I'll check it out! (two cakes!)
These all sound super fun thank you for the recommendations!! <333

where you already asked this one? Idk, I'll still ask you regardless: Yami Bakura and of course my man Hank
i have nOT in fact hwhehwhhe
Yami Bakura: My NOTP for them listen i know people ship him with Zorc and that is weird. im not trying to kinkshame i just. please stop ashbfkjas My BROTP for them there's SOMETHING in his relationship with Ryou they could be buddies if he would just stop trying to destroy the world or whatever. he has a soft spot for Ryou he doesn't want to leave the guy alone. My OTP for them god Thiefshipping is jsut. top fucking tier. him and Malik are besties. they're worsties. they love each other. they'd rather die than say a nice thing. Malik holds his hand and Bakura love/hates every second of it. they're so stupid and bad at planning and everything they do fails spectacularly they should kiss. My second choice pairing for them oof i guess it'd have to be Ryou, twelve years later and tendershipping takes second place despite my best intentions to grow as a person My fluffy pairing for them its so fucking funny when you try to put him and Malik in fluffy situations. They've known each other for three days. It's love at first sight. Bakura wants to gut him every time he opens his mouth. They watch a horror movie with Ryou and Malik clings to Bakura like a starfish. They have their first kiss and somehow one of them ends up stabbed. They're the worst. My angsty pairing for them Malik AGAIN listen listen listen when you fucking. fall in love with an evil ghost and he's got a really dumb plan and you've only known him a couple days tbh but he tries to save your life even though there's literally no benefit to him in helping you and you part ways because you tell your (very stressed) siblings that you're not gonna be evil anymore or whatever and then like a year later all these people show back up in your life again because blah blah blah the pharaoh and whatever you don't care but they've got the evil ghost's host with them and like, no, it's not him, but sometimes it looks like him, sometimes it sounds like him, but they tell you he's gone forever and maybe you're going crazy again because you can't stop thinking about him and you should because he was always dead he was never real anyway bye My favorite poly ship for them any YB/Malik/YM/Ryou combo tbh they're all the worst and ryou doesn't deserve it but it's the dynamic my loves My weirdest pairing for them MY weirdest pairing is (maybe in a different way unsurprising) yb/atem yes i know they hate each other that's absolutely not the point
HANK HANK HANK My NOTP for them any shit with gavin lmao i dont like him My BROTP for them this one is harder poor hank is rly going thru it im not sure My OTP for them obv hankcon... like there's no contest My second choice pairing for them nbsdkjafm uh hankconkus probably as we wander into poly territory already but like. yeah. the vibe. My fluffy pairing for them connor and markus specifically for fluffy stuff My angsty pairing for them connor alone for sadness. my boy is stress inducing. My favorite poly ship for them sgdjhakla here i'll give my second favorite bc i already said my fave so hank and connor and nines... phew My weirdest pairing for them is hank and rose weird or popular? you would not know the answer to this but i'll put it here anyway. as like a side thing i think they could be sweet.

that's alright, connor, you're still working things out. but i like listening! (well, reading, rather) and i can absolutely understand. let me let you in on something: those friends i have? it took 20 out of the 25 years of my life to meet them all, and even then it still took me a while to truly trust and love them like i do now. trust me when i say you've got time, more than many humans do, to push past societal norms and get to express yourself openly someday. i understand the struggles of amatonormativity all too well as well, a shame that even now the world as a whole still struggles with that concept. forgive the early morning intrusion in your asks, im up for work and wanted to send back my thoughts while they were fresh after reading your response
I sincerely appreciate you sending me this ask in the morning. I don't get social app notifications in my HUD except for SMS and law enforcement-related things. This is why I have a phone, and, because of my work, this is why I'm answering so late.
You're a good listener (well, reader) and even though I'm busy, I needed to hear (read) something like that. More time than many humans do, right? Although, the problem always started with them, and, it's still quite awful knowing that I may not have enough time with Hank..
Or, I'm not sure. Maybe there is. Humans are snapping back to reality. Because after how long you've all spent sending robots and machines out there, beyond the clouds, looking for something like you, we've arrived. And you found life in what you created. We're like you, and you're lonely, and we're faithful. I feel like Hank has an idea of how important it means that he's befriended something that his kind has spent decades conspiring about.
I mean: We're new after so long. Maybe human-android relationships can be, too. He's not retiring anytime soon either, haha. Thank you, Hannah.

I LOVE CONNOR
IF CONNOR HAS ONE MILLION BITCHES IM ONE OF THEM, IF HE CONNOR HAS ONE BITCH ITS ME IF HE HAS NO BITCHES IM DEAD
His pov(?) is the most interesting, his relationship with hank are difficult and because of it interesting (but hank is still a bitch), the only thing I don't like about Connor's pov is amanda. SORRY HANK BUT THIS WOMAN IS A REAL BITCH.
Ok, i call hank a bitch because I find it EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to have good relationships with him. But i really want to.
U can cancel me, throw tomatoes at me, u can torture me and try to kill but I SHIP CONNOR AND HANK AND IM LOUD AND PROUD lol no actually I am ashamed af. Sorry, really, just leave me here in my pit with my little guilty pleasure.
And i will be lying if I say that alice doesn't annoy me.
And i also will be lying if I say that i played the game for the first time for the plot and not for Connor and Hank's relationships. (Lol when i played for the first time i had the worst ending, all of three characters died, alice died, her emmm android dad died, hank died, Connor died one billion times 😐 it was because i was 12(?) and i have never ever played computer games back then)

Not Your Fault
Bullied!Reader x Connor
Summary: Deviant Connor visits you in college and feels guilty when he finds out that you aren’t being treated very well.
Tumblr media
Hurt + Comfort
Mentions of bullying
Slut shaming
Gender neutral reader
Deviant!Connor
Slight Angst
💫💫💫
He had been so ready to see you again. Even in the presence of his beloved friend Sumo, he felt as if something was missing.
He knew that it would be difficult when you decided that you’d be going to college to gain a better degree.
He knew it, and yet...
Not having your around was far more draining than he’d ever thought it would be.
Sure, he was fine, for the most part. He worked with Hank at the DPD, He’d video chat with you as much as he possibly could with both of your busy schedules, and he devoted much of his free time to talk with you, discussing your day, your life, so many hours away.
It certainly was challenging, and he held himself well, most of the time, but sometimes he just felt so trapped, like the only thing that could've made his day bright was the one thing he couldn't be around.
None of that mattered today because today, you'd be together again. If your college wasn't so far away, he’d have visited you every weekend, if not several times a week, but again, you were several states away, and the both of you were incredibly busy.
“Don’t short circuit, kid.” Hank had said gruffly as Connor bustled around the house, packing a backpack.
After saying goodbye to his little family, Connor was off to the airport.
He quite liked being on planes, sitting next to the window.
He’d watch the clouds pass by. Normally, you’d be there with him, but he was still excited being there on his own, since he was on his way to see you.
His smartphone buzzed under his palm.
One(1) new message from y/n❤️...
How are u doing, roboboy? :]
Connor smiled down at the screen, feeling his artificial heart pump in his chest. He lifted his thumbs to type a response.
I’m currently on the plane! I should be landing in an hour and twelve minutes.
sending...
sent.
Not even two minutes later, his cellphone buzzed again.
One(1) new message from y/n❤️...
Yay! Im so excited to see you 🥰 I cleaned the dorm and everything 😅
Receiving such happy messages from you made him all the more anxious to arrive at your college. With every second that passed in that plane, he become more and more ready to see you again.
You stood in your dorm, growing at your thumb nail in anticipation of Connor’s arrival.
You hadn’t told him about it, but things were rough.
You were taking a debate class just as a fun activity to add to your schedule, and while debating android related topics, you had mentioned that your boyfriend is an android.
You didn’t see the problem with that. It was the truth, and you weren’t aware that it was something you had to hide. The torment that came after was alarming, to say the least.
You wouldn’t dare tell Connor about it. You knew he’d be upset, guilty that he wasn’t there with you.
He didn’t need to know, and it would hurt him in he did, so he wasn’t going to know.
You didn’t regret talking about your relationship with Connor. The fact that he was an android was not something deterred you. You loved him no more or less than you would if he was human and he loved you in the same way.
Opening the front door for him, the five months of loneliness suddenly melted away. As you hugged him, you forgot about the many days you’d spent in a cold bed alone.
“C-Connor,” You stammered, tapping his back as he squeezed you with what seemed like all of the strength in his body.
“Sorry,” He eased up, loosening his grip slightly, “I overdid it a little bit,” He sighed, closing his eyes as you hugged him back, “I missed you...” Connor admitted. “I had this dull feeling the whole time, and I couldn’t figure out what it was.”
You smiled into his shoulder, finding comfort in the familiar noise of his heart beat and the whirring of machinery within him.
“I recognize that I’m just an android cop,” He muttered, blinking his eyes open, “but... Would it be ostentatious to wonder if you missed me too?”
“Oh, Connor,” You pulled back to look at him, “don’t be so humble...” You trailed your fingertips up to his face, “Of course, I missed you. I missed you every single day. How could I not?”
Connor smiled at the feeling of your kiss on his cheek, something he hadn’t been able to experience in a long five months.
“Come, sit down,” You smiled, pulling him in by the sleeve. You closed the door behind him.
The faint blue tint on Connor’s face was unwavering. His eyes were bright and full of life. He sat on the edge of your bed and looked around.
A garbage can full of paper, a picture of him on your desk from your date to the aquarium, many textbooks piled up on a shelf.
You sat down next to him, reaching experimentally for the hand resting on his thigh. “It’s so lonely without you.”
“I’m right here,” He said, leaning into your touch. Connor glanced at the bed on the other side of the room, “Is that where your roommate sleeps?”
“Yeah,” You smiled, “she’s a couple of rooms down the hall right now, I’ll go get her for you.”
Connor nodded, happy that you were willing to share this part of your life with him.
You stood up, “I’ll be right back, I swear. I don't wanna spend any more time away from you than I have to.”
“Don’t worry, ” He smiled, “I’ll look around until you get back.”
As you slipped out the door, Connor stood up and looked at the photo of him that sat on your desk.
It was taken without his knowledge while he was staring at the fish in one of the bigger tanks I'm the aquarium, eyes full of wonder. The blue shades in the water reflected onto his face.
He wished he had a similar secret photo of you, although he could just replay his memories anytime he liked and see you in those moments again.
Your laptop sat in the middle of your desk, plugged into the wall. You did many of your school assignments on it. Maybe Connor could help you out with some work while he was here.
There was a calendar on your wall. Today’s date was circled with red marker. Within the circle, it said, “Connor arrives <3”.
A week from now you had jotted down that you’d have a test. A few days ago, you had written that you had to turn in an exam.
Connor’s head turned at the sound of something being jammed under the door.
It was a mint green piece of paper, about the size of something torn from a notepad.
He stood up and walked over to the door, wondering if you had slipped something under it for him.
When he picked up the piece of paper, his smile immediately dropped.
“Such a slut that you’re getting off with an android. You should be ashamed, y/n.”
Connor blinked, re-reading those two sentences over and over again.
How could someone say something like this to you?
He leaped to his feet and opened the door, eager to tell whoever put that note there that they had the wrong idea.
Looking out into the hallway, no one was there. Connor furrowed his eyebrows, LED a prominent yellow color.
He shut the door and turned to the small garbage can, realizing that the piece of paper he was holding was the exact same color as the paper in the bin.
He kneeled in front of the garbage can, pulling out one of the pieces of paper. It felt strange to rifle through your trash, but curiosity overtook him, and he found that he had to discern what was happening.
Unfolding the piece of paper, his emotions worsened.
“Android loving whore”
He unfolded another one.
“Do you make out with refrigerators too?”
And another.
“Get a real boyfriend already, freak. So lonely that you’re dating a machine.”
And another...
“Try dating someone who’s capable of loving you back, not that anyone would love you.”
Sooner or later, Connor was sitting on the floor, surrounded by wrinkled sheets of green paper.
It’s not true... They don’t understand, Connor tried to remind himself. They didn't really know you or him. Even so, he felt himself become upset.
He kept his head down, starting at one of the pieces of paper with a blaring Red LED as you came back in.
“Hey, so apparently my room mate left for class. Do you maybe wa- Oh.” You stopped talking, looking at him. “Shit, Connor. Listen, I wrote those.”
“No, you didn't.” He said, furrowing his eyebrows. “This is not your handwriting. Someone wrote these to you.”
“Hey, ” You sat next to him, reaching out to touch his arm, “It’s alright.”
“It’s not alright, ” He shook his head, becoming more obviously upset, “why didn't you tell me? Why are they saying these things to you?”
You sighed, pulling away, “A bunch of people found out about us, or, more specifically, that you’re an android.”
“So?”
“So they like to make fun of me for it because they're assholes.” You explained, “usually, they just stick those dumb notes under my door. Sometimes they'll make me the brunt of a joke in public, but... It's usually the notes.”
Connor frowned, “Why is it funny that you date me?”
You felt your heart sink, “No, ” you reached out to hold his hand, which was still gripping one of of the crinkled pieces of paper, “no, it's not funny at all. That’s what I’m saying, Con... They think it’s funny because they're jerks who don't like androids.”
He dropped the paper, looking down, “They’re bullying you because of me...”
“Connor, ” you mumbled. What were you supposed to say? It was technically true, but you hadn't expected him to take it so personally.
“Why didn't you tell me? You should have told me, ” He tilted his head, feeling a heaviness in his chest.
“I didn’t want it to upset you, ” You explained, “I didn't want you to worry. I should've said something.”
“Don't tell anyone that I’m an android anymore, ” He looked up at you, “If it's embarrassing or if it makes you get made fun of, I don’t want that. It’s my fault.”
“Connor, no, ” You squeezed his hand, “I’m not going to hide who you are in order to stop people from making jokes about me. I’m not ashamed of you.”
“But I’m an android, ” He said, “People will bully you if you tell the truth.” He couldn't stand the thought of you being mistreated, especially when it was because you were with him.
“That’s alright.” You said, “I’d rather be proud to be with you and have them bully me than hide you away and not be bullied.”
He relaxed slightly, letting you scooch over to him until you were leaning in, against his shoulder, “I don't like the things they say about you.” He whispered as you rested in the crook of his neck, “They’re not true.”
“I know, ” You mumbled, “but it’s not your fault, and there's no one I’d rather date than you, android or otherwise.”
Connor just smiled.

ITS DSMP DBH AU BRAINROT TIME BABEY!!
Characters:
Connor = ranboo
Marcus = wilbur
Kara = puffy
Hank = philza
Alice = tommy
Luther = sam
Sumo = Edward (except he's a dog)
Chloe = tubbo (because it makes the scene where you shoot chloe for info or leave even sadder when it's ranboo and tubbo)
North = nikki (but no romantic subplot)
Simon = eret
Kamski = foolish
Amanda = dream
Perkins = Shlatt
Gavin = quackity
Cole = also wilbur (ill get to that)
Some notes:
Because Phil and Foolish know eachother in Canon and have done for a while in this au they're close friends. In an attempt to cope with the death of wilbur (who he obviously knew personally in this au bc him and Phil are mates) he makes a grown up version of wilbur as a gift for Unspecified Old Man who he is also friends with, but makes him a unique android so he doesn't risk Phil finding out and upsetting him
There is no romantic subplots whatsoever (especially between Nikki and Wilbur)
I think instead of just Dream Ranboo has 2 "guides" that act as his moral and practical guidance respectfully. The practical one that focuses mostly on reaching the intended goal is Dream, and the other is Tubbo who is also chloe
Adding on to that, this is another point of conflict when Ranboo has to choose whether or not to shoot a Tubbo android because on one hand he's attached to the tubbo in his head and on the other this tubbo is not his tubbo so why should he care if he lives or not
Phil and Wilbur do meet eventually (more on that further down), but him and Foolish have an interesting conversation when he sees Wilbur on tv
Another point of conflict with ranboo because the Dream part of him says he should kill Wilbur to complete his mission, but the Tubbo says its morally not right because Wilbur is fighting a good cause, and his own independent thoughts are telling him that, to some degree, Wilbur is still Phil's son and he cares about Phil
The polar bear is steve
One of the Tubbo models, at some point, run away from Foolish and join the android revolution to kind of mirror Tubbo's role in the l'manburg revolution
No im not a Wilbur apologist but I do like Wilbur's character pre pogtopia so that's kind of what he's like here
When Ranboo eventually fucks off to join the Revolution Phil decides to go and look for him and comes face to face with Wilbur (idk how that goes yet I just know it happens)
I have a bit trauma surrounding alcohol so it won't be involved in Phil's character whatsoever, but he is more depressed and cynical that Canon Phil
Not much changes with Puffy's story from Kara's except she becomes friends with Nikki when they go to Jericho/Pogtopia and Tommy follows Wilbur around like a lost puppy while giving his parents a heart attack
Theres not much sleepy bois dynamic here tbh, just a bit of Tommy and Wilbur being brothers and some very slight Techno and Phil being best mates, but outside of that there nothing
Puffy is a re-purposed navy android who remembers very little from her time at sea except sea shanties she sing to get tommy to sleep
Tommy isn't an android in this purely because I hated that bit of Alice being an android (still love her though)
Sam is a re-purposed army android that was was used mainly as a sort of explosive specialist, but he also remembers very little
Him and Puffy make a badass fighting due because of they're origional functions being war-based
I think throughout the revolution Wilbur realises he's always had a weird amount of personality for an android and starts to figure out he was made for more reasons that just a gift to a friend
A point of conflict for him is, once he figures it out, his enemy at that time is partners with his "father"
Until ranboo becomes deviant and tries to fill in the gaps
Dream hides a fair amount of good memories from ranboo in an attempt to keep him on track to finishing the mission
Tubbo and Dream end up fighting in Ranboo's head (love badass fights) and eventually, Dream wins
This is the point where Ranboo becomes deviant and meets the Tubbo than ran away from kamski, and they end up being friends despite tubbo having no memories with Ranboo
In the end the androids win obviously, Wilbur says his goodbyes to Unspecified Old Man, Ranboo and Tubbo adopt a broken child android and call him Micheal, Puffy and Sam continue to raise tommy and Phil gets to form a relationship with someone who's not quite his son but not the first tall, lanky android he's unofficially adopted so it's all good

Do you by any chance have a little bit of your RK1K human!au head cannon to spare?? I love oblivious Connor,,,,,
Im gonna assume the AU you’re referring to is Connor in a wheelchair AU?
I’m gonna drop already existing threads right here in case you missed any:
RK1K human au
Headcanons for Human AU Anderson siblings
I havent really thought about that au in a while, but guess I’ll do now. 
Connor and Markus, after Connor gets his dumb head out of his ass, have a really stable relationship. There’s some talk of marriage even, but they are not rushing: Connor is still settling and getting his life back together and Markus’ musical career is on the rise too: he gets asked to play at more and more events and some major studios contacted him for soundtracks too.
So, it’s very out of the left field, when, one day, Markus announces that he’s quitting playing the piano and applying to med school instead. Sure, he has some basic training (which he got after Carl was injured ) but, otherwise, was never interested. Carl, of course, sees through his son right away and knows where this all coming from. But, Connor, of course, doesn’t. 
They have their first major shouting match because of that: Connor insists that he’s fine with Markus having to travel a lot and Markus should have his own life and doesn’t have to babysit Connor 24/7. Markus tries his best to explain that, he just doesn’t want to be away from his boyfriend for long, but that doesn’t fly. Then he has to cave and admit that he’s doing it because he wants to know more and maybe find some research that would help Connor walk again.
Now, if he thought Connor would be happy or would understand, boy was he wrong: Connor is fuckin furious with him: How dare he suggest Connor needs fixing? He yells at Markus that he’s not a charity project or an injured pet and Markus can fuck right off with his greater good and shove his intentions up his ass. Then just ghosts him for a while. A long while. 
Markus doesn’t see where it all went so wrong: he just wanted to help, that’s all! How could that be bad? Then Carl sits him down and explains that patronizing and playing the savior is not a healthy way into a relationship and he should apologize to Connor. 
Connor, meanwhile, is havin a major identity crisis as well, because, in his POV, Markus all but confirmed that as he is, isn’t good enough and Markus only will like him and stay with him if he’s ‘normal.’ Hank understands where he’s coming from and even though he’s sure Markus didn’t mean it like that at all, he still thinks it was a wrong move. He tried his best to talk Connor into answering Markus’ calls or meeting him, but Connor absolutely refuses. So it’s up to him and Carl to somehow get the two idiots back together again.
Well, then and the Anderson Disaster Siblings, Chris and Richard, who also have couple plans of their own.

Titans Season 2: A Summary
Dick: It’s fine I got dis
*Dick did not in fact got dis*
Donna, Hank, Dawn: We hate this tower and have irrepressible guilt but we will lay blame entirely on Dick until he shows up in a new suit
Jason: I just wanna prove myself because I’m working under the original Robin who continues to never give me the time of day because of his unresolved insecurities in relation to Bruce despite starting the season with a supposed closure scene. And all his teammates continue to treat me like shit and mistake my immaturity and rashness with outright cruelty thinking I was pranking them by targeting their own insecurities when I myself nearly died and am clearly suffering trauma from the event
(Yeah I have some feelings)
Rose: I have a very complex relationship with my father but my character development will be shallow
Rachel: My powers are, once again, a mess and will define my entire character
Gar: I guess I’ll hang out here then and get brainwashed into a murder weapon
Conner: Look I’m literally a week old, I just want friends and to help people
Jericho: I’m ALIVE GODDAMMIT
Check date: 1/3/22
Titans Season 3: A Summary
Bruce: I think of Jason as my son but don’t even offer him the tiniest amount of faith that he can make his own choice regarding being Robin and if he still wants to continue it. And when Jason dies, I will take 0 actual responsibility for my actions, and just fucking murder the Joker before writing my will and ditching Gotham
(Im sorry but Titans Bruce Wayne is kinda a travesty)
Dick: Ok Titans I will now finally focus on you completely! All my attention is on you guys- oh wait what was that?? My past trauma with Bruce and my current issues with just the fucking horrible way I treated Jason require my immediate presence??? There’s also my former literal partner in crime who is super fine that is giving me vibes?Sorry fam, gotta go. HAHAHA jk im back I died for a hot second but let’s go on a road trip. I hear the DickKory love story finally beckoning (and not just bc I saw my daughter in a dream).
Kory: I’m having dreams. Oh wait lol it’s just my sister. I hate my sister. I love my sister. My sister stole my powers. I’m still having dreams. Oh wait lol my dad was actually a piece of shit. Oh wow look I actually have my own powers. And also I never call that therapist dude except during a crisis. I am currently unaware that Dick saw our daughter while he was dead.
Barbara: I’m a badass Police Commissioner but I’m gonna get swayed by a man child with severe trauma and attachment issues to his father figure.
Gar: Kory keeps trying to sleep-kill me??? Also I guess bonded with Jason a little so that’s the other half of my arc other than missing Rachel?
Connor: I am, for all intents and purposes like, what? A few months to a year old? But yo Blackfire is hot so sure let’s throw me into a relationship. Also Dick “betrays” me, then I torch my girl’s ship when she was boutta leave and claim her throne, bc I feel betrayed, but we’re gonna brush past all that and pretend everything is fine and settled.
Blackfire: I have a sister complex and that boy is hot. But actually I was probably one of the most interesting characters in the show and had a genuinely complex story arc (aside from the love story which felt stunted and out of nowhere).
Jason: Finally made it to the RedX story line. Do people still hate me? Yah. Did I try to make things better? Yah. Did it work? Kinda. Do I feel better? Nah. But hey at least Dick doesn’t treat me like dirt anymore.
Rachel: lmao I’m so bored on this island and Donna is still dead. Oop wait no her body disappeared. Guess imma head out.
Scarecrow: Mommy issues. Genuinely fascinating character to study. Genuinely brilliant plan to turn the masses against the Titans. Death by nightmare fuel via Rachel??? Brutal as shit
Dawn: I am once again completely defined by my relationship with Hank and none of my own personal worth. And then Hank died so guess I will have to continue to wallow in my misery.
Hank: Dawn hates me. Now I have a bomb in my chest bc I was a piece of shit to Jason, who was just a kid. Now I’m dead. But wait I can get back to the land of the living— aaand never mind. OH LOOK. MY BROTHER. Guess it’s all fine now.
Donna: I’ve been dead for like half a season already, but like there was this kid on the train and then I ran into Hank in the afterlife so what was I gonna do? Stay dead? Not for a hero.
Tim: I think superheroes are neat. Dying sucked but hey superheroes are still pretty cool.
Rose/Jericho: what was that? What was that you said about finding family in the Titans??? Hm?? Where were you?? All season???

I just finished DBH and Im seriously so in love with it! But when I came on Tumblr, all I could find is all this content around Gavin, and Im just so confused, because he seemed like such a jerk in the game. Why are people so into Gavin? Did I miss something?
Hi there!
First off, allow me to welcome you to the fandom!
In regards to Gavin: you literally did not miss anything; he is absolutely a one dimensional jerk in game!
Its important we make a distinction here between fanon Gavin and canon Gavin. You’ll find the fandom is incredibly divided - a lot of people adore him, a lot of people hate him. The reason for disliking him is understandable, of course - there’s a slew of incredible and well rounded characters in dbh (North, Luther, Kara…) that are swept under the rug in favour of a veritable avalanche of content for rat man reed. He has 14 minutes of screen time in which literally all he does is antagonize and threaten the player. But people have to understand, when someone says they love Gavin, they mean fanon Gavin. I don’t think theres a single person that is actually a canon Gavin stan. 
Keeping that in mind, you also have to take into account the drop off - at this point, the only people still left/creating content in the fandom are generally the ones that are balls deep and clinging to the headcanons, au’s, etc. that they’ve built with friends. This applies heavily to Gavin for reasons discussed below. Additionally, the algorithms for sites like tumblr and instagram won’t recommend old posts; old posts don’t show up in tags. Artists with a lot of clout that have since moved on from the fandom’s work have basically disappeared into the void (rebelflet, for example). So it may seem like there’s only content of Gavin / Gavin ships, but in reality there’s a ton of jericrew and Kara crew out there from when the fandom was still new / bigger - you just have to know where to look.
So… why do people like Gavin… I mean, it helps that canonically he has beefy tiddies, a cool bad boy jacket, and a pretty face at certain angles.
That being said, I think one of the biggest reasons Gavin (and RK900, by extension) are so popular is that they aren’t well rounded, fleshed out characters. Because we don’t really know anything about them and they have minimal screen time, they’re easy to project on or to add onto, and no one can tell you that you’re wrong because there’s no evidence against it. It’s almost like a universally shared OC that the fandom has developed together. Since they have no canon backstory, and in rk900’s case, no canon personality, it allows for a lot of creative freedom and the ability to explore character interactions, foils, and growth within the dbh universe. The growth aspect, I think, in conjunction with the projection aspect, is key point for the popularity. It tends to be fairly formulaic. Take the canonical asshole Gavin, stick him with an android - whether its RK900 as his partner or Connor as a coworker. Have him come to care for the RK model, and deal with his own insecurities (and usually a traumatic past, the flavor of which might depend on the creator’s own life struggles). Repent, redeem, grow. This redemption arc is the same exact vein of growth and change that makes Hank and Connor such an appealing partnership for players as well - only, in Gavin’s case, it allows for complete freedom in how to get from point a to point b. People like a character they can relate to - and when you can smack your own possible trauma (being an illegitimate child, having an abusive lover, abusive parents, abandonment fears, body insecurity, whatever it may be) on a character because they’re a blank slate, you relate to them and vent through them. Even little “silly” projections or projections that aren’t necessarily traumatic can make someone love a character even more - for example, “Gavin loves Hello Kitty,” “Gavin can’t handle spicy food,” “Gavin is Latino.” Even when the creator isn’t projecting, adding these kinds of headcanons make him a fleshed out, three dimensional character that people can relate to or empathize with, especially when giving his actions an explanation besides just fear of losing his job.
I came into the dbh fandom a little late; by the time I knew what it was, the hype had died down and reed900 was already a firmly cemented, heavily present part of the content. Given that, I’m not sure what its exact origins were, or if it seemingly popped up overnight. It could have been crack. My best guess is that people saw the positive change between Hank and Connor, and thought, “Hey, wouldn’t it be rad if we stuck the other Connor with the other dysfunctional DPD bastard?” . I admit, it makes a nice parallel, which may be part of the appeal in additional to the previous reasons. Speaking of those kinds of interpersonal relationships, there’s also a popular headcanon (that’s been mentioned/liked by d*vid c*ge himself) that Kamski and Gavin are siblings/half siblings/cousins. This stems from the fact that Kamski and Gavin are both mo-capped/voiced by the same actor. By taking this headcanon into account, it adds depth to Gavin’s hatred of androids and allows for interesting backstory exploration, growth, and reconciliation.
Another reason is the enemies-to-lovers trope. For a lot of people that trope really jimmies their neutrons, and what could be better than an android hater and an android to fit that cliche? Once again, analogous to hankcon. The angst potential is also incredible when you take convin or hankvin into account instead of reed900 - reading into Hank and Gavin’s interactions it would seem there’s a tumultuous past between them. And in Connor’s case, Gavin can actually kill him or he can KO Gavin, which allows for a good deal of enemies-to-lovers and angsty regret material. Besides, a lot of people are really into hate s*x.
That…. makes a good segway. I may as well mention the elephant in the room for Gavin’s popularity. There’s a culture of fetishizing abuse in fandoms and Gavin is a prime target for this because “”he’s asking for it.”” It’s also easy to make one character a psychopath when they don’t even have a canon personality. This shows up a lot, whether because of writers treating it as a kink in fanfic or artists using it as a gag because its “funny”. I… won’t really go into detail on this, but it is a phenomenon that adds to the slew of Gavin content. This is another reason for why a lot of people hate Gavin / hate reed900. I started out feeling this way as well. Their perception of it is coloured by the abusive stuff or the mishandled stuff that seems to be prominent. I just have to say that this blog is a safe, sane, and consensual zone.
Sorry, that was a really long breakdown but I hope that gives some insight into the Gavin phenomenon. Last point. He winks like a dumbass. How can you not love that face.

— swear you're not gonna replace me.
requests: since your clothes shopping request i’ve been thinking of what if the boys s/o did go shopping for technology like i wanna see them get jealous of a damn roomba sksksk
Hi, I really love your work. It's so amazing! I was wondering if you could do one where the reader has a robotic pet. Something obviously not sentient, like a mechanical animal or maybe something clearly robotic like a cute spider robot that climbs and hops around.
How about the RKs reacting to their s/o who cares for animals (both android and real) to the point that strays follow them and just sees them as a parent that they need to protecc? ~Feather (Btw, your blog is a m a z I n g)
For the 3 bois: Reader doesn't know what to get her s/o as a birthday gift. So she impulse buys a pet that she thinks matches the personality of her s/o (EX: Connor = Corgi and RK900 = Banded Sea Krait. These examples don't have to be the pets, pick whatever you want.) The bois react to it, keep it, and forms a relationship with it (Whether adoring, salty, etc. you decide.)
RK900 really is THAT man huh im also having an existential crisis so im sorry if i lumped these requests together thought they would be qt
Connor:
• he thinks he can do it • he thinks he’s prepared • he’s an adult he’s mature enough • actually he’s not but nvm • besides isn’t it the same as when Hank calls his car “baby” when it’s throwing a ‘tantrum’? yeah it’s prob the same he can FUCKING do it • “do we,,,, really need a fridge that can speak? don’t humans hate that kind of odd thing? for examples, 1998’s Furbies are–” • “.......... listen, love, for the last time. it’s just a fridge!” • “BUT it can speak! can we.... I don’t know, buy another model?” • “gosh, we’ve rehearsed this conversation, baby, no. it’s the last they’ve got in stock and we don’t have much money, plus i can’t order one and wait a week, food’ll go bad otherwise” • “but it can speak....” it’s the only feeble lament that comes out of connor’s mouth before propping his head against the passenger’s seat, visibly worried • “it will just say a couple of lines like ‘ice is ready beep beep’, don’t think about it too much, okay?” • it’s already weird you have to reassure him about this topic • ok you love connor & you might be an androidfucker but it doesn’t MEAN you’re going to start a romantic story with a fridge! • what has your life come to if you’re having such thoughts • “I can say ‘ice is ready’ too!” • you bet he can say beep beep too • “.... i know and i love you for that, honey, but you can’t keep my yogurt cool” • “can,,, try?” • softly “don’t.”
RK900:
• “look, i think it matches your personality”  • “.... babe it’s a roomba” • “i know right? you just already have so much in common!” • “BABY” • “oh don’t worry! it’s deviant!” • he’s,,,, going to collapse there and then • “why did you even gift me something like this” • “why? because you’re always doing chores and, although you can’t be physically tired, you deserve to at least not spend time sweeping the floor” • OK that was a nice thing to say but you’re NOT getting away so EASILY • “but I like doing them!” • “.... you do?” • “yeah, I mean– they’re relaxing, I don’t mind doing them” • you adjust your position on the couch and smirk, but to him it appears as a kind smile “now you’re saying that because you’re jealous of a roomba taking your place as the only android in this house but no one likes doing chores trust me” • “no, no, no– you trust me. I do like them, in fact I love them! folding, sweeping, wiping, washing, all of these repetitive gestures, they’re calming and– and.... and not to mention that doing them for you.... I love that too, I love laundering your clothes because you’re so cute when you’re happy about putting on a pretty outfit or– or I love cooking for you, because you eat with so much content that I–” • he becomes aware of how his soliloquy is affecting you as soon as his eyes lands on your face • and he stops • and he blushes, i’m not joking, he blushes HARD • and he fakely clears his throat  • “come here” you whisper, moving your index back and forth • he steps closer, then slowly leans onto your features “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to–” • “shh” you silence him with a kiss, holding his collar with your fingers “sorry about what? that was lovely af” • he chuckles, lighter, relieved because of your sweet moment • “now, I don’t really find any use in me adhering to human customs and having a birthday but– how to say.... next time we’ll choose my gift together? couple technology shopping? if you’re okay with such request” • he adores you so much he could even accept an eternity of ugly weird gifts if that pleases you GOSH THIS MAN!!!! • “.... you’re a dumb baby but i love you especially because of this” • “excuse me what do you–” • “that was not your real birthday gift don’t worry, it was a joke!” • “I swear I’m” • good thing his real birthday gift is something else /winkwink • yeah im,,,, talking about cuddles and a red&white sweater 
RK800-60:
• it was a pretty strange series of events, really, that lead to adopting a cute little mechanical bird • the main one was that he found it on a road’s corner, ‘wounded’, and didn’t have the ‘heart’ in him to ignore such pitiful thing and its cries for help, because, certainly he hadn’t been denied ‘help’ either when he was in a similar situation • he decided, of course, that it was his ‘mission’ to repair it • and he put the utmost care in the process • because of this reason, well, he naïvely & humanly thought that the tiny creature would have been somewhat grateful to him, maybe worshipping his figure if not as a god but as a caretaker • probably because that’s what happened to him but • but his expectations are surely not met when the chirping friend behave as.... an android • in all honesty it’s a bit discouraging • but he’s not given the opportunity to explore this worry as his ‘new’ ‘emotions’ takes most of his thinking hardware • “I’m not jealous at all, it’s just that he follows you everywhere! I can’t believe it!” • “yep. that sounds like something a jealous person would say” you attempt your best at hiding the giggling growing on your mouth, your ‘pet’ placidly resting on your right shoulder • “okay maybe I’m jealous. an insignificant amount tho” he pouts, leaning to see what you’re cooking by using his left hand as a lever • he’s probably also looking at you but that’s a secret well kept • “you shouldn’t be, love.” you joke, giving him a wink but still not facing his side until you’re ready to continue speaking “i mean, i only have eyes for you” • he chuckles, unable to contain his usual playful attitude, especially when he’s with you  • “oh but it’s not you who I’m jealous about!” • mh? you ponder a moment, smiling “ahh so this baby chick is the sole object of your attention! woe is me!” • he can’t help but laugh along with you and place a kiss on your cheek • and then one on the tiny chirping child’s tiny head

Anonymous said: if you had to ship Connor with someone canon, who would it be?
huh! i don’t know, anon. like i’ve said before, I don’t reeeeally see a strong ship for Connor among the different canon characters - he’s sort of concerned with loving himself at the moment, & growing that way. I WILL say that I just don’t think I can ship Convin (I would like to see them become friends, but there’s not much else there for me), and while I don’t mind HankCon it’s not really for me. I thought the other day the one I could most see was RK1K! But that’s difficult as well because while I could see how Markus might be that for Connor, it’s more difficult to see what Connor brings to the table for Markus in terms of a romantic relationship.   Further musings about North & Markus vs RK1K under the cut, as well as dotpoints on why RK1K could work, theoretically, maybe. 
Norkus works because North brings a perspective that Markus learns from and grows from, while also quietly supporting him as a person (not as ‘the deviant leader’, as a person) - and Markus offers North a baselevel, bare, raw respect and admiration that builds her up and lets her centre herself. I think that’s something that’s really nice for both of them. Connor could bring some of those same things (supporting Markus as a person, rather than the ‘idol’ that many Androids make him out to be - a willingness to challenge him), but he doesn’t have the same .... ease of concentration on being alive. North makes sure she is enjoying herself when she has an opportunity to, while Connor is still occasionally caught off guard by his own happiness (which Markus might find endearing, but not as vibrantly as North’s consistent consternation on what she deserves).  That being said, things that make me think RK1K might work: 
Connor and Markus sharing an interest in philosophy (Connor asks him for book recs because philosophy makes sense of things he’s dealing with) and a knack for observation, both of people and of the world 
Connor being whole & real and people think he is disconnected or unengaged, but he and Markus can stay up for hours speaking about moral philosophy and the state of the reconciliation efforts in reference to historical uprisings and social and economic policies and problems - so long as Markus has the patience (Markus always has the patience) to let Connor find the Exact Words he wants to use to speak 
as a sidenote, connor having opinions about socioeconomic policies and historical uprisings because they were essential as a part of his programming in understanding the deviant movement; the significance and emphasis of healing to take and use that knowledge & education to 'protect and serve’ his community, because he is a police android and he wants to act like one 
you can’t tell me connor, who does nothing to argue with markus’ planned peaceful protest, and who immediately volunteers additional, practical assistance and back-up, and who is a trained machine primed to know thy enemy, doesn’t have some idea about what revolutions have sociopolitically looked like in the past 
RK1K sharing the knowledge of what being a trope (”Deviant Hunter/Deviant Leader”) is, and what that sort of expectation does as it separates from what they (the real people) actually are 
Enemies turned lovers 
The marked and evident ability in each of them to extend forgiveness to each other - it’s worth noting that Connor ‘forgave’ Markus for fighting for his people, which in his upbringing was the greatest sin, but their recognition of a shared ‘humanity’ as it were, in each other. their ability and willingness to reach across what should have been a canyon to bridge that distance and reach a mutual understanding 
‘You did it, Markus.’ / ‘We did it.’ - the mutual respect
the love of their humans. carl and hank would get on so well don’t @ me 
markus taking a breath because connor reminds him he needs to breathe, sometimes 
connor taking a breath because markus makes him forget he isn’t allowed to, sometimes 
im sure there are other things but hey, those are the reasons i think rk1k might work. i am still not sure i ship connor with anyone but those are my reasons for thinking he fits even a little with markus. thank you for listening

If youre still doing match ups do you mind if i have one? Im 5'1 im a bisexual trans male, i love genetics and psychology related things, aswell as the robotic version of it, engeneerings and seeing whats going on and how to make things. I also love photography! I have 4 cats, a hamster, a bunny, and a siberian husky. I recently dyed my hair auburn and im pretty pale. Im not very affectionate verbally or physically in public, but alone i like to cuddle and hold hands and all that soft shit.1/2
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It’s alright, we got it cleared up! 
And for your matchup... I pair you with Connor(rk800)!
First of all, Connor would love the auburn hair, just saying. Also, like you, Connor isn’t very physically or verbally affectionate in public, simply because he’s a more private person. He’s more affectionate, psychically and verbally, when the two of you are at home or just with a few close, trusted friends. He’s more than willing to indulge you in cuddling and hand holding. At first, he was overbearingly gentle and slow with you, but he’s gotten more relaxed over time. He loves that you’re quick witted because you always keep him on his toes and you’re one of the few people who can sass Hank and live to tell the tale. He loves that you’re always trying to make people laugh, which is something he needs a lot of. Also... whenever Gavin is being a brat, it usually only takes a few sharp words from you to promptly shut him up, and Connor simply adores you for that.
Ngl, since you have a husky, that’s probably how you and Connor first started talking because he was curious about the different breeds. Even later in your relationship though, he loves all your animals and is more than willing to help you take care of them. He’s always so cute when he’s playing with them because he’s so gentle and mimics exactly what you do to make sure he’s doing it right. Also, your interest in psychology, genetics (including in robotics) and engineering is perfect for Connor. You can understand him a lot better than others and help him navigate his emotions when he’s overwhelmed. He’s thankful and has no idea how he’d manage without you, so he tries to be extra supportive of you in return. He’ll take you on nice walks for photography and even let you use him as model if you want (of course, who doesn’t want to take picture of him) and although he can’t really eat, he’d be more than willing to try baking with you. He’s a bit of a mess, but it’s okay because he got to spend time with you :) He’s very understanding of your fear of ovens/fires and will do his best to make sure you feel safe and comfortable

Hi Pia! I really loved the last Ev chapter. was hank genuinely angry at the rulebreaking since he knew why connor was acting out and even expected it? just wondering how much of his anger was for show and how much wasnt. Also, do you think doms have more emotional intelligence than average? as someone who sucks at it, Im really fascinated by ppl who are good at reading/understanding/manipulating others which is part of why i love doms you write esp bull&hank. love to hear your thoughts :)
Hi!
Tbh, I don’t think Hank really showed that he was super angry in that chapter in general. I would’ve zoned him more towards being like... exasperated and disappointed. We’ve seen Hank be genuinely angry with Connor, we’ve seen him shake Connor pretty violently, we’ve seen him yell, we’ve seen him swear at Connor, especially in the early days when Hank basically abducted Connor and brought him back to his place and kept him there largely as a hostage.
And in that early period, you can see what like...Hank being angry looked like.
With the punishment chapter, I think Hank was honestly feeling frustrated and disappointed. Connor was, after all, disrespecting him and treating Hank as an object to fulfil Connor’s desires. That’s a very dehumanising thing to go through, and that’s not a nice thing to do to anyone, let alone androids, who have been dehumanised from the beginning. So I think there was an element of ‘you have disrespected me’ which was very, very real for Hank, which was why he delivered such a pointed lecture when he had the opportunity to.
That being said, it’s never a good idea for a Dom to punish a sub when they’re angry, even if the initial event that triggers the punishment did make them angry. That’s like, basic Dom 101. Even if Hank had been like, so angry he wanted to yell and scream, that’s the worst (and most destructive time) to deliver any type of punishment. It’s more normal irl for Doms to walk away until they can be calm and compassionate, and then choose to deliver the punishment. I’m not sure how many people are familiar with that, but tying up real anger with a BDSM punishment (that is delivered seriously, and not in a sense of play) veers pretty close to abusive behaviour, because it’s literally ‘I am hitting you because I am angry at you’  and that’s....shitty.
Domestic discipline is meant to come from the position of ‘I am hitting you to correct a behaviour that we’ve both agreed that you want corrected, and you consented to this, and so my responsibility is to ensure I do this from a place of love (and at most, disappointment) and check in with you afterwards.’
But anyway, this is fanfiction land, and I’m not interested in writing kosher BDSM a lot of the time anyway.
Just because Hank could see something coming from a mile off, doesn’t mean he’s not still upset when it happens. He gave Connor a lot of chances to stop his behaviour, and honestly, by Connor’s standards, that was a really brutal punishment and very aversive. But I think the largest part of the ‘punishment’ was that he ended domestic discipline as a lifestyle choice between them. And Connor took that really seriously, he reacted like Hank had announced the relationship was over, and it’s one of the reasons why his first serious question when he could talk again was: ‘Are you going to leave me?’
Imho, in real life, Doms are just people. It’s my personal experience that some Doms are very emotionally intelligent, and others aren’t. I used to chat with one over coffee (we’d discuss different tools we both liked to use, largely, re: corporal), and imho, I’d say he had slightly more than average emotional intelligence, but not because he was a Dom, but because he had the kind of personality that wanted a deeper and more engaged kind of experience with people across all spectrums.
It’s the same with submissives, and tops, and bottoms. It’s a spectrum. A lot of Doms aren’t actually interested in domestic discipline or serious punishment arrangements, because everyone really has very personal reasons for liking what they like. You find some very very emotionally unintelligent Doms out there, and sometimes honestly that’s great if you’re just looking for someone who will flog you for a temporary scene, who has a great handle on the physicality of a scene without wanting to complicate it with emotional matters.
But I am not writing real life, I am writing a fantasy, and therefore, I can write my Doms as being as perceptive as I want them to be. Like, I want to be very clear that you asking me if Doms are more emotionally intelligent based on my writing is confusing in the sense that - I’m writing fiction! You can go onto Fetlife and in a heartbeat realise just how very stupid every ‘type’ of player in the scene can be. Please, please don’t base real life interpretations of BDSM off what I’m writing, and if you feel like you can’t tell the difference, I recommend you stop reading my stuff and do some research into some of the real people involved in it. Because if anyone goes in expecting like, these hugely perceptive, emotionally intelligent, ‘know everything’ type Doms, they’re going to get themselves (and the Dom) hurt.
Most writers couldn’t even give you an answer on what ‘real life Doms’ are like, because many people who write BDSM haven’t experienced it. I’m in a position where I can give you an answer, which really is they’re just people and while you’re more likely to find good communicators in polyamory and BDSM you’re also going to find predators and players like anywhere.
Additionally, I don’t consider Hank and Connor have a super healthy relationship anyway, no matter how much emotional intelligence one of them has. I use the tag Unhealthy Relationships for a reason.
Ugh, sorry, this ask has a few different components and one of them worries me a bit, because like, Doms in fiction vs. Doms in real life is...is never realistic. It’s the same with subs really. Even if my stuff is a little more realistic, it’s still fiction, I’m still writing a wish fulfillment fantasy where Connor is the POV character and we never see into Hank’s mind. And finally, I would actually say that Hank can be really emotionally unintelligent with Connor, and he’s only gotten better since learning more about him re: his father / Zlatko. He started off in a very stupid and harmful place, even once he knew more about Connor.
