I am seriously considering doing an au of the strange case of dr Jekyll and mr Hyde, with aziraphale being Jekyll and Ezra from reverse au being Hyde just the idea of ​​an angst AU in which aziraphale does this to himself to fit in with heaven seems like a interesting idea

Some interesting facts about Hank you might have missed (Detroit: Become Human)

DBH is full of little details that help understand the characters’ background and their motivations, details which can go entirely amiss if the player isn’t paying enough attention to their surroundings. 

You have to play several times over to notice bits and pieces of information scattered everywhere and be able to reconstruct the characters’ background by patiently piecing them together. If you’re thorough enough, you can even uncover whole chunks of the characters’ past which they refuse to talk about (something VERY frequent in Hank’s case…and equally frustrating). 

Here are a few details about the life of Hank Anderson, the lieutenant who is chosen to help Connor with his investigation, along with some interpretations of my own about his mysterious past based on the evidence we find in the game:

[SPOILERS AHEAD. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED]

The park where Hank goes to drink after the Eden Club mission is a playground for children. If you pay attention, you’ll see the place is full of recreational equipments, like a swingset, a toy house and a merry-go-round.  He says the place has a nice view and mentions going there a lot before something happened. This is where he used to bring his son Cole to play before his death.

What hurts most about this scene is how a human notices the photo of Hank’s dead son on his kitchen table, then the fact Hank drove to a playground and immediately associates them both, while an android (Connor) is unable to see the correlation between them. This is why Connor asks before what?. He’s clueless to the overwhelming evidence around him of Hank thinking about his son in that moment and choosing to revisit the playground. 

Hank used to be part of a multi-department unit called the Red Ice Task Force which successfully busted a ring of drug dealers that sold red ice in Detroit. He has a photo of his unit on his desk, and you can even see the notes he left on each of them, where some nicknames were scribbled and associated to each of their faces. Some of them are fond nicknames, others, not so much:

The nicknames (from right to left): 

Prick & Asskisser - the two male policemen in the far right

Nice girl - the smiling policewoman in front of Prick and Asskisser

Asshole - the smiling policeman on the front

Real police - the policewoman in the back, behind Asshole

A good cop - the policeman in the back, right next to her

Hank Anderson

??? - policeman on his left

Not seen since 2019. Owes me some $ - last policeman, in the far left

Hank worked in the Red Ice Task Force two years before the birth of his son Cole. Cole was born in 2029, as seen in the photo below.

Hank also lost his son in 2035, only three years before the events of DBH, as seen in Cole’s picture below.

The reason why Hank feels so disenchanted is because he worked hard to end the traffic of red ice in the city only to lose his son to a doctor who was a drug addict. This made him feel like his work was ultimately worthless and even guiltier about losing his son, since despite his efforts, there was nothing he could do to save him. The day Cole died, he learned he was fighting a losing battle. So he just gave up. On life. On his job as a good police officer. On everything.

Hank plays Russian roulette because deep down, he doesn’t want to die. Something keeps him from offing himself once and for all. He’s afraid of death. Proof of that is how scared he becomes when he is holding for dear life on the ledge right at top of that building during our chase for the deviant Rupert (where you must choose between saving Hank and keep chasing the android). Hank was so scared of the prospect of dying he punches Connor in the face and yells at him due to the android’s refusal to save him. Therefore, Hank might have suicidal tendencies, but he’s not truly suicidal. If he truly wished to die, then all he needed to do was to let go from that ledge or fully load his gun next time he’s at home and shoot himself. And he knows that.

His sense of guilt and helplessness for his son’s death is what makes him so protective of Connor. He’s aware Connor is just an android. And yet prevents him from facing potentially fatal situations. Hank just can’t cope well with death and will project his fatherly feelings for Cole onto Connor. This is why he commits suicide if he witnesses Connor’s death over and over. But this is also the reason why he warms up to Connor throughout the game. He inevitably associates the android with Cole despite himself.

Hank shoots you if he’s hostile after Connor repeats over and over again that he’s just a machine, unable to have real emotions. Hank’s actions have two root causes: 

1) The doctor who was high on red ice was emotionally dysfunctional. He used drugs to cope with his personal problems, a behaviour that seemed normal in Detroit given the socioeconomic hardship the city was going through (thirty percent rate of unemployment). We also see how androids are progressively replacing humans in every line of work. Remember when Hank complained how people are replacing normal relationships with humans for androids (Eden Club mission)? This seems to be a big issue in Detroit. Along with the huge unemployment rate, it indicates a depersonalisation of human interaction. That is to say, a tendency for humans to avoid contact with each other and replace real interaction either with an android or with drug abuse, something which Hank not only disapproves, but finds disturbing.

2) In the very first scene of the game, we see the mother despair when she learns they sent an android instead of a real human to save her daughter. Hank’s son didn’t survive because an android was sent to save him. Or at least that’s how Hank sees it. Much like that mother, he believes Cole would be alive if a human doctor had been there for Cole, another consequence of the ongoing depersonalisation process, as Hank sees it. 

This is why it’s so important for Connor to restore Hank’s faith in the possibility of there still being real human interaction left in this world. Of there being people who CARE about something. And if Connor fails to do so, repeatedly telling Hank he’s just a machine, this will trigger Hank to the point he’ll relive the day - or night - his son died because the hospital assigned a machine, something less than a human - an android - to save his son. Hank feels wronged, betrayed by mankind, by the very people he swore to protect as a police officer. Despite his efforts to save the city, they let him down. The fact that nobody cared enough to save Cole is what killed him inside and later triggered his suicidal tendencies. Human indifference took away the most important thing in his life.

Thoughout the game, Hank is watching you, trying to figure out what sort of person Connor is. This is why he questions your decisions after every mission. Remember his dialog with Connor where he asks why didn’t he shoot Chloe at Kamski’s place? That’s when he begins to wonder if androids aren’t more than just programmed machines and capable of free will…and even empathy.

Unless Connor’s actions succeed in restoring Hank’s hope in humanity, he sees no light at the end of the tunnel. And what could give a disillusioned, mourning father more hope than an android being able to feel and empathise with both humans and androids, to the point he rebels against his program and spares his targets, regardless of his mission?

There might be more on Hank, so this post will be edited in the future as I notice more details with each gameplay.

You know I tend to be against the idea that hotch has no feelings but today I saw a post that says that hotch is a sociopath who wants to be different to show that he can be a good person and I liked the idea, just imagine the team at a dinner where rossi joking about how hotch can become too much like unsubs and hotch just explodes screaming that maybe it's because he's a sociopath and then he leaves rossi and the team doesn't see him until the next day. Morgan asked Garcia to review Hotch's medical records and Garcia confirms that Hotch was indeed diagnosed with an antisocial personality disorder at 21 (I like the idea that Hotch behaves a bit like Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock but you know din tar smart like Sherlock. I'm also totally ignoring the fact that the fbi wouldn't hire a sociopath)

Okay so like… this is so freaking fascinating to me. Sociopaths in general are fascinating because I always wonder what exactly about their brain is different from mine that makes it so they don’t “feel” things. And then there’s stories of those who never experienced emotions but learned how to fake them/mask to fit in with “normal” society.

And the idea of Aaron Hotchner, the Unit Chief of the FBI’s leading Behavioral Analysis Unit, being one of those people? Being someone who, in order to feel something has to hold the cold metal of a gun firmly in his hands, steady eye looking down the scope as he pulls the trigger, watching the blood fly and the unsub fall with a thud? The feeling isn’t exactly… excitement? Or regret? It’s just a buzz in the back of his mind, the closest thing he’s ever experienced to some sort of emotion. And he chases that feeling when he can, because he wants to know what it is. He wants to be able to understand it. The larger the weapon, the more blood that it creates in the death of an unsub, the more powerful the buzz.

Yeah I kinda lowkey like that.

(Of course I am not an expert in sociopathy or psychopathy and I am replying in a fictional sense. People diagnosed as such are not all horrible murderers!! Plenty of people who have these diagnosis live completely safe and “normal” lives, and have healthy relationships and jobs. I am just leaning into a fictional scenario).

Guys look at this mans 😩💖

Said I'd draw him w/ fangs and I lived up to that promise~ (posted earlier on my Twitter~)

i love any au where our resident demon and angel don't know the other is an angel/demon

it's just funny cuz i can totally see zira and crowley doing that

How are the servants when their sick? Who takes care of them? What makes them feel better?? ♡♡♡♡ luv u

they all turn into fucking bears and won’t take their cough syrup.

just kidding. here’s a long-ass post

lumiere

what. a fucking. production number. 

this is a man who has intense seasonal allergies so EVERYTHING IS POISON and EVERYTHING IS THE END

he’s rapped his will like ten dozen times

(but not like, really. we know lumiere faces actual threats incredibly bravely. we’re talking like, a cold here.)

DEATH!!!

IT’S ALL DEATH!!!!!!

COGSWORTH, MAKE SURE MY SKULL IS USED IN A PRODUCTION OF ‘HAMLET’

BUT LIKE, A SPARKLY PRODUCTION OF HAMLET. GLITTER. SONGS. SHOWGIRLS.

…!!!!…..

ACTUALLY YOU KNOW WHAT, SOMEONE SHOULD DO THAT? !

( once he’s busy scribbling out choreography for “hamlet!: the musical,” which will be soon adam’s (incredibly unwanted) birthday present, he feels much much better )

plumette

oh my god lumiere is in meltdown

is it fucking tuberculosis? lumiere doesn’t care. he’s gonna catch every damn flu in the book by cuddling with his beloved

she likes getting Lotions and Hot Soups and Pastries That Are Far Too Rich For Sick People To Be Eating ™. she fucking revels in all the medicines and creams and powders and breath mints

she is languid and ailing and still absolutely breathtaking plumette. beauty like that don’t quit

cogsworth

oh he hates being sick. the palace can’t fucking run without him!! (it can. just…super badly.)

he is consoled by a stream of tea mugs and lumiere coming to make (fake) promises that everything is Fine. both of them know he is L Y I NG

cogsworth always likes it when people pull out the old quilt his mom made him and put it on him when he’s sick. nobody realized this until belle came along and was like ‘YES! GOOD! MOM-WELLNESS-POWER.’

he likes being petted and pampered by plumette while he sniffles. but ‘oh, dear, you’ll catch a cold,’ and he’s fucking giving her the blankets he so badly needs. like damn cogsworth can you not even not fuck up being sick

cadenza

so. fucking. PICKY. it’s too loud! it’s too quiet! his nose is blinding him!! his ears are eating him alive!!!!!! just obey his demands to the maximum and you’ll be fine. is this orange juice freshly squeezed?? show him the orange peels. show him. bring him the literal orange tree

(but give him sheet music to look at and he’s happy as a clam.)

garderobe

ALSO picky as FUCK. like good thing they’re married?? i guess??

fucking drama queen. it’s the end of the EVER FUCKIGN WORLLD

she needs like ten thousand blankets. cadenza sits by her side and tell her how BEAUTIFUL she is, how she has been cursed by the heavens to bear this sickness so some puny opera wench elsewhere can feel even basically competent for two seconds, your voice will be more BEAUTIFUL than ever after this, amore mio, let me clasp your cold hands and hold them to my face & warm them

(she secretly loves being sick. the ATTENTION.)

chapeau

‘are…are you ok in there, chapeau? speak to us. no, wait, that would actually be bad. semaphore? sacre bleau, my friend, you losing your voice and you being yourself is the difference between a gold coin and a sous—are you contagious? will i die by coming in? will i die by bouncing on your bed? i am bouncing on your bed. would magic tricks help? non? tea and coffee? hot food? what—oh. quiet. You want quiet? Well, you will have that soon enough. Let me just perform my magic tricks first.’

(chapeau is very easy to care for, though meticulous in the few things he asks for. everyone keeps him company, for utterly no reason. he likes hot drinks and toast with jam.)

cuisinier

‘i’m not sick! i’m not sick. get out! devils! get that demon’s oil away from me! the day i drink castor oil is the day i forget how to bake a tarte Tatin—no!!! i will get over this by willpower alone!! and butter. always butter. get out!! is this castor oil?! get it out—’

he’s fucking awful to take care of and they basically have to promise him that lumiere won’t fuck around in his kitchen while he’s out. it’s a fucking group effort

chip

‘mom can i have some orange juice. can i have a comic book. mom wanna see me do a trick? mom i can drink the entire bottle of cough syrup without breathing. mom. mom. mom can i have more orange juice. m o  m’

(( he’s fine, his mom just wants to murder him ))

mrs. potts

r u kidding? when mrs. potts goes down this entire ship burns

some sketches of otto that are somewhat related to an AU I've been thinking about lately

I can't help but think that in an alternate universe, if Martin Whitly had committed the murders when he was at university and had been caught, the news would probably have nicknamed him the angel of death, (like Robledo Puch, a famous Argentine serial killer, there is literally an interview where a lady believes that I could not have done anything so bad because according to her the boy has an angelic face) also michael sheen as a young man really seems quite angelic

I feel like I know who that person is, but there are quite an odd number of angels of deaths. Though that is more reserved for doctors who kill at work, so I don't... know if the Surgeon counts as one??? But if he had committed them when he was still in med school, that would make for an interesting situation!
