So what is the problem Detective Gavin Reed has with the world?
((-for a “Visual guide to Gavin Reed (detail oriented)” please visit “sionfaileas” post about his strange collection of scars and eye color, etc, very well made article, I recommend it-))
This guy seems to have a problem with everything that moves (particularly if it’s taller than him), but is it the case?
Many argue about Gavin, he is undeniably one (if not “the most”) hated and loved (equally) supporting character on this game. - And this says much coming from a character you can choose to barely even see if you take the right choices during your play trough.
As we know, Gavin is a 36yr old human (at the time of the events during DBH). He is a detective on the DPD, and has a very distinct personality. - Reed seems to be always “ready to escalate a dispute into a bar fight” …guns included (-if you look at his face, even if you don’t notice the many-many smaller scars, Gavin Reed has a big scar that goes from his right eye up to his nose and down his left cheek…*ouch*). - But even though he is undeniably a douchebag to even his own human colleagues, we see him having “non-violent” or even “friendly” interactions with most of them. - You see Detective Reed drinking coffee and chatting with Tina Chen, another police woman from the precinct…
*[do note there is absolutely NO canon indication that Reed is gay or anything other than “straight”. He even seems “too friendly” with Tina, so she even might be some sort of interest for Gavin, the conception that “”Reed is gay”” comes from the fandom AUs, not canon]
And you can even see Chris Miller (police officer that has his desk right across Reed’s desk) helping him out friendly with his computer…
[[*(this is like a hidden “eastern egg” mostly, you need to be Connor waiting for Hank at the office and go see Reed at the breakroom, then, when he goes back to his desk, stay there a while doing nothing and it will eventually happen, I only saw it once but I know is there and other people has seeing it too, so yeah…. “canon thing”). —- **(Original post on Tumblr by “deviantpm” now deactivated, so link to “a-l-m-y”, and, original source HERE) ]]
We also see Chris attending to crime scenes with Detv. Reed as a partner (Eden Club), and Reed seems to have little to no problem with other (lower in rank) human police officers.
So although Gavin Reed is a very nasty individual in general terms for everyone, during the events of the game he has only two main problems, Hank and Connor.
As we can all gather from his personal canon “bio” (on the game gallery), Hank is a major obstacle to Reed as he is advancing on his career. Gavin is aiming to be Lieutenant, and Hank is on his way, furthermore, Reed sees Hank as a drunk that has too many opportunities and that Captain Fowler should fire for his unethical and questionable behavior (even if Reed isn’t much better at least he’s sober most of the time?)
Now, about Connor, Reed’s problem is very explicit as he points it up himself during a scene…
We already know many people on this game is either unemployed or afraid to loose their job because of androids. And Gavin is no exception. He sees Connor as “a threat” to his job and career in general, add up he is a jerk to everyone equally. - Reed knows he can’t compete with a (”detective”) android, so he feels the fight isn’t fair… and even escalates his animosity to Connor a lot faster if he (Connor) successfully extracts the confession out of the deviant suspect the night before (when any other human couldn’t), as Gavin hits Connor in the stomach (and Connor falls on his knees) Reed tells him that if it wasn’t for Hank intervening “things would have gone much worst” (for Connor).
So all in all, is not surprising, sure, again, he acts like a real jerk, but only to those who he considers a threat to his work
(and you can pretty much tell from “how he is”, and the scars he has, that his work is almost everything Gavin has to live for)
, or unfair work situations where a drunk lieutenant that shows up whatever time he wants to at work, and doesn’t deserve even more chances…
(I love Hank, but let’s face it, if I went to work and didn’t got promoted because of a guy that shows up half the times at whatever hours he likes, mostly drunk or with hangover, I’ll also be pretty angry with him, particularly if I see our boss giving him a free pass for years).
For everything else we can (canonically) gather on Detective Reed, he seems to be good at his work, obviously “not best than Connor” (since he’s not an android), but a good detective none the less. - He seems to drinks too much coffee (that is better than drinking Whiskey like Hank does…), doesn’t seems to smoke (or at least we don’t see him doing so at work), and shows up early at the station *(even though he works until late night, and the shadow under his eyes indicates he gets little sleep too, if he ever sleeps at home, I’m inclined {since we see him always wearing the same clothing} to think that provably Reed doesn’t go home at all some nights and just stays working at the station). Plus, at the time, he seems to have some sort of respiratory affliction/disorder (either if is a chronically thing or just “a passing decease” from the cold Detroit winter, you’ll see him coughing).
But sure, the guy has his “issues”, and, unlike Hank (who insults when it’s surprised or frustrated), Reed insults much more and mainly to bring others down, to “let them know their place” (under him), and it’s a bit obvious that at some point he has being called up upon all his swearing by his superiors because he tends to say “phck” (instinctively trying to replace the word “fuck”).
So… let’s just say “he’s trying”.
…
And just for your delight, remember that time where Reed tells Connor that no androids are allowed on the evidence room?, right at the end..?, well, I took the liberty to see if Reed was lying… and… well, yes, he was just giving shit to Connor (as usual). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
We can clearly see other “police android officers” going in and out without a problem to (and from) the evidence room… so… yeah… Reed has a particular problem NOT with ALL androids but just with the ones who can take his job and as he said “replace them (human detectives) all”.
:/
(…yeah, I know, he’s an asshole, we still love him though…)
[[–reblog, cause Tumblr just fucking eats my fucking updates, cos’ why not!–]]
>:(
i don’t think people really get how little feedback fanfic authors actually get? like the effort to reaction ratio is so abysmally skewed here that a fic nearly 50,000 words long takes an entire year to amass like. 16 comments. someone reblogged a fic i wrote at 4 am and tagged it with a 5-word compliment and i can’t stop thinking about it, not because it was so nice but because half the time you post a fic you’re going to hear nothing and anything feels like so much
fandom culture is so, so good about giving artists the credit they’re due, but we gotta start doing that for writers too. you’ve got no idea how much people put into their stories and get maybe a handful of reblogs and a dozen-odd kudos. that’s not enough. writing is an endurance sport and y’all need to start giving fic writers a reason to endure it and improve their craft. encourage writers like you encourage artists. reblog fics, leave tags, leave comments, acknowledge that these stories do not just spring into being for your entertainment.
every single damn writer i know feels like half of their readers see them as a machine. that’s gotta change.
Consider also: Writers do not even have the opportunity for feedback until we are finished.
Artists have the ability to show off preview sketches, host art streams, and get feedback during almost every step of their creative process, and we do not. We can’t really share outlines and half-finished sentences, choppy first-drafts, and have anyone get excited about that. When we say it’s an endurance sport, we really mean it.
That’s why it becomes that much more important to give us that feedback once we actually finish what we’ve been working on.
“When we say it’s an endurance sport, we really mean it"
THIS.
And of course we write because we love it. We have ideas–BIG HUGE IDEAS–that we want to get out there, just how we see it in our heads, and be able to go back over and over it again, even if no one else cares. Of course we write because we love it.
But we’re human and crave validation. We create these things because We Just Think They’re Neat and want others to agree that the concept or execution or both is also neat and fan about it with us!
It doesn’t even necessarily have to be about WHAT WE HAVE ACTUALLY WRITTEN. Tell us how much you love the concept or the plot device, start going off on tangents in your comments or tags or replies, because HECK YEAH WE’RE IN THE SAME BOAT. WE’LL JOIN IN WITH YOU.
Fic is MEANT to generate discussion. So don’t think of comments as just saying ‘thank you’. We’re happy for that of course, but that’s not why we wrote it. We wrote it because it’s a thing we’re really interested in, so if you’re interested in it too? SHARE SIS, WE ARE ALL EARS.
YALL this isnt mine but I just had to share it cause Im actually in love with this cosplay 😍 all credit goes to maul_cosplay on instagram
I think one of the worst things about being a girl who likes girls is that men always assume you share their male gaze. When I see a pretty girl I’m imagining what it’d be like to hold her hand and kiss her, not hoping a gust of wind blows her skirt up. I don’t plan my outings based on which place has the hottest girls. I don’t find it appropriate to make lewd comments about women. Just because I like girls doesn’t mean I like to disrespect them or prey on them the way you do.
I feel like this is also the reason straight dudes don’t like the idea of being around queer men. They assume that gay/bi/pan men look at them the way they look at women.
Writing a character who becomes severely malnourished/dehydrated/sleep-deprived?
Here’s what you’ll need to know! Learn all about the wonders of the human body and add scientifically-accurate drama to your stories.
MALNOURISHMENT
- DEATH: average - 21 days (3 weeks), max ever recorded - 70 days (2.3 months)
- 6 HOURS: grouchiness and hunger due to lack of glucose.
- 24 HOURS - 48 HOURS: hunger very apparent; pains in stomach; body has entered ketosis and is using fatty acids as energy.
- 72 HOURS+: muscles begin to get broken down for energy.
- You will become: increasingly depressed, irritable, hysteric apathetic; decline in concentration, comprehension and judgement; social isolation and withdrawal; possible self-harm.
- If your character doesn’t eat for 5 consecutive days, they are at risk of Refeeding Syndrome. This is extremely dangerous and can be fatal.

- Psychology of starvation based on the above experiment.
DEHYDRATION
- DEATH: average 3 days; some live 8 - 10 days
- for the calculations: TWV = total water volume in body; average adult loses 2.5 litres of water per day.
- Assuming that your character does not eat, drink or absorb any moisture.
- 9 HOURS/2% TWV: thirst, discomfort, dry skin, loss of appetite; 50% loss of performance for athletes; elevated body temperature, rapid heartbeat, fatigue, dizziness when standing, decreased fluid secretion (sweat, urination, tears, etc).
- 24 HOURS/6% TWV: sleepiness, severe headaches, nausea, tingling in limbs.
- 36 - 72 HOURS/ 6 - 15% TWV: no urination, seizures, muscle spasms, shriveled skin, fainting, vision dimming, delirium.
- 72 HOURS+/15% TWV+: Organ failure.
recommended reading:
- dehydration on the psychology wiki.
SLEEP DEPRIVATION
- DEATH: not known, but can stay awake for 11 days; max chronic sleep deprivation ever recorded (until death) - 6 months.
- NOTE: This does not mean you can stay awake for 6 months. It means you can survive that long with chronic sleep deprivation - going days without sleep and then sleeping once or twice.
- 24 HOURS: mental ability impairment of someone who has blood-alcohol content of 0.10%; everything is worse - emotional control, memory, attention, decision-making, hand-eye coordination.
- 36 HOURS: hormonal spikes everywhere; losing time; lack of motivation; head buzzing like you’re dehydrated.
- 48 HOURS: microsleep, regardless of what you’re doing (you fall asleep for 1-30 seconds and then become disorientated);
- 72 HOURS+: say goodbye to higher mental processes like decision-making and planning. Also, say good bye to saying goodbye because even simple conversations are hard.
- 80 HOURS+: … and hello, hallucinations!
