(don't get me wrong I absolutely adore the angel Crowley we get! :D)
hello have you considered Crowley's lil headband he has in heaven today
babe is stuck in the 2010s fr w the skinny tie and the headband combo but I love that for him
becomes stressed and mad, immediately combusts
me too crowley, me too.
no but what if aziraphale didnt know crowley disguised himself when he went up
He COULD have materialized a perfect copy of the angelic uniform, but nah, he went for a cheap cosplay because what’s life if not a long chance to take the piss out of the enemy 💖✨ inspiring
The DILFication of Matt Murdock is happening right before our eyes 😩
From 2014 ---> 2023 (Charlie's been playing Matt for almost a decade 🥺)
Can’t believe that poor Peeta survived two Hunger Games, months of torture, and a war on the Capitol…
Only to be forced into a night shift security guard job at a pizzeria to support Katniss and their two kids.
Times are tough in Panem.
There is a fundamental misunderstanding of Connor's character within the fandom. I find it incredibly ironic that a majority of the fan base looked at Connor and labeled him soft, innocent, pure, and harmless, when the whole point of his character is that that's what Cyberlife designed him to be. He even says it to Hank in The Nest.
"Cyberlife androids are designed to work harmoniously with humans. Both my appearance, and voice, were specifically designed to facilitate my integration."
The whole point of his story is to show that he is not a pure and good person. Us, as the player, should know better than anyone that Connor is not harmless or soft. Connor is constantly putting up a facade because that's what Cyberlife needs from him. He is designed to integrate with humans - and Hank - to achieve the best results in the investigation.
A fan favorite moment is during Waiting for Hank when you get to snoop around Hank's belongings and ask him invasive questions in order to gain information about him for more amicable relations. It is not Connor taking a genuine interest in Hank.
Then there's The Nest, where Connor once again tries to bond with Hank. He tries to forge a relationship because it is what Amanda wants, and what Cyberlife needs for maximum efficiency in Connor's hunt.
There's also the moment Connor can snoop around Hank's home to find out incredibly person and intimate details about his past. Also considered a fan favorite moment.
These moments:
Are not real. They are not Connor being a pure cinnamon role. It is Connor putting on an act to get the best results. It's a concept introduced in the very first chapter of the game. Connor does not care about Daniel. He barely blinks at his death. But the whole negotiation, it is Connor's goal to pretend he gives a shit. Connor does this with every single victim.
This is not Connor feeling genuine empathy for these people:
It is him finding the best way to accomplish his mission. It is him not burning a bridge that could be useful in the future.
So many moments the fandom sites as Connor being a Good Boi TM is just him acting. The same act that he puts on to convince his victims and allies alike that he is a Good Boi. But he's not.
This:
Is Connor. He is cold. He is ruthless. He simply does not care. The only moment of genuine joy he shows pre deviancy is when he is praised by Amanda for his efficiency in capturing a subject.
And that's the point. He starts off the game a terrible person who does not care for the lives of those around him. He only learns to become a good person through growing genuinely empathetic towards the people he is killing. That's why The Bridge is so important.
Connor spends so long asking questions. Asking Hank personal questions so he can adapt better to his personality. Connor asking questions so he can piece together the puzzle of deviancy. At the bridge, Hank finally stops Connor in his tracks and asks him the questions. Makes him stop and think about something besides his investigation for once. Why didn't you shoot, Connor?
It's after The Bridge that Connor finally starts to analyze himself and his actions too.
So, no. Connor is not a pure cinnamon role. He's a manipulative selfish murderer who can only redeem himself by not pretending to be innocent and kind anymore. For Connor to really become a good person, he has to go against everything that makes him a cinnamon role because that facade was made by Cyberlife.

The RK800 model looks as intimidating as a baby deer. Look at that soft, pretty face. Look at those shy chocolate brown eyes. Look at those cute little coin tricks and socially awkward yet endearing quirks! It is friendly. You can trust it.
CyberLife built Connor for negotiation and infiltration. His design is intentended to be disarming and it's highly effective even on the player.
Unfortunately, the Connor we accompany for the majority of the game isn't the deviant who grew a spine and realized that he's got a heart. It's machine Connor. It's CyberLife's henchman who hunts his own people and aids his superiors in a genocide. Callie hit the nail on the head when they pointed out that Connor "likes" dogs because Hank likes dogs. Connor "likes" basketball because Hank likes basketball. Connor "enjoys" Heavy Metal because it's the music that Hank enjoys. Connor is psychoanalyzing Hank and he's lying to him.
As a machine, Connor doesn't like things. The only thing that matters to him is CyberLife's success and his own continued existence. Since he's been ordered to work alongside Hank, forming an amiable relationship with his new partner would be the ideal approach to score ideal results.
Connor tells Hank himself: "I'm whatever you want me to be." Connor basically admits that Hank is being manipulated. It's an admission that the mask he put on isn't real and that it can be altered at any moment to fit whatever fantasy Hank wants to project onto Connor.
But machine Connor's default personality isn’t the endearing, mildly awkward boi who just wants to make friends. His default personality is the ruthless sidekick who shits on social protocols and spills Hank's drink. He's selfish, unpleasant and focuses solely on the mission. We saw the "real" Connor in Connor-60, ironically, because Connor and 60 weren't just two androids who shared a physical template. 60 was forged from a backup of Connor's own mind, they were identical down to every memory and experience. 60 is who Connor used to be (and on a machine route, still is) but uncensored. Only on the deviant route they have developed differences, but not because 60 came out of the factory more heartless, but rather because Connor came out of Jericho less heartless.
The deviant who delivers a sympathetic speech about Cole Anderson and hugs Hank post-battle is no longer the same version we spent the overall game with. The version we spend the overall game with is the calculating machine at Hart Plaza who smirks and spits out facts about Cole's death without an ounce of empathy…
Deviant Connor's qualification as a cinnamon roll is open for debate. As for machine Connor, absolutely not. He's a manipulator.
Good Omens season 1 marketing: ooooh look it's hellfire and damnation and the apocalypse, oooh look at the good/evil dichotomy between these two, look at the DRAMA of it all

Guys, I was just rewatching this episode and I noticed something.
Life is very long, when you’re lonely - (2023)
I gathered in this post all the BBC Sherlock speed paintings / artworks I did between December 2022 and March 2023. I did them at first to practice lights and textures but I ended up with a series centered around loneliness, grief and…means of transportations.
we need to talk about the fact that for many of the posters in season one, they are literally on opposite sides and/or have a dividing line between them
and now they're literally crossed over in some way for the season 2 posters
THEY'RE LITERALLY ON THEIR OWN SIDE NOW, PEOPLE!
CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS?
I used an ai to create this piece of princess bubblegum and marceline.....
And im shook with how good the results are
