The Most Passive-aggressive Message Ever

Everyone is talking about the DD’s having more feral animalistic traits but I headcanon that worker drones also have some traits.

They can’t purr but they do make this cute high pitched grinding noise. It’s short little bursts and it means they are very pleased with something.

They scatter like scared cats when theres a sudden loud noise now. That trait cropped up after the DD’s came to Copper 9.

They enjoy sleeping in very large groups. They feel safer this way, it’s like a schooling behavior.

Families with small pill babies will often times hide away until the baby can walk on its own.

They swat. Much like a cat they tend to bap and swat when irritated with someone or something. It can hurt but it really dosen’t do damage

They show their teeth when being aggressive or showing fear. They pull their lips back and show off their….frankly pathetic teeth in comparison to DD’s. It can be normal to see two drone just standing there near nose to nose just staring and showing their teeth. And yes that can often times mean they are about to fight.

They really like a nice good under the chin scratch. Most do, not all. Sometimes their foot will even twitch just a little

They can and will shake off like a dog. They can do it standing up and prefer doing it that way. They make a rather audible rapid ‘tink clank tink clank tink clank’ sound when they do it. They are more water proof than you think. They can spend a little time submerged in water but past a certain point they will be too far gone and suffer water damage. They also can’t swim so if submerged in deep enough water worker drones will ‘drown’ (die from internal water damage). They do handle rain well enough. Solver drones and DD’s have a longer span of time they can remain submerged.

Khan goes through fits of insomnia. His brain is swimming with ideas and urge to create doors. Sometimes there are no more doors that can be put it and he just stays up night after night after night just drawing blueprints to get it out of his system.

He always reaches this point of pure sleep deprived undercharged delirium. Crazed fast rambling, wildly gesturing to his blueprints, pacing around, anxious and snippy.

He can be a bit scary but ultimately harmless. Uzi is so used to it and often falls back on pushing her father towards his room “alright dad I think it’s time you go get some sleep” or gently offering him a nice cup of antifreeze and grease, something that always causes him to become sleepy

“here dad. Here, you love antifreeze!”

30 minutes later Khan is conked out asleep and dead to the world on the sofa with the tv on.

It's such an amazing feeling when someone picks up on something in your writing that you 100% intended but didn't think people would notice. Like, YES!! My writing properly conveyed the thing it was supposed to!!! You are so awesome for noticing that!!! I am so awesome for writing that!!! I feel so good about my story now!!!!

you think the story forgets you when you’re gone. it doesn’t. it waits. patiently. then bites your ankle the second you log back in.

Little keychain concept I made- thought I’d share it-

My wife (ao3) lying in her hospital bed (down for maintenance) as I hold her hand lovingly, waiting for the moment she wakes again (waiting for ao3 to go back up).

no you have to contribute to your fandom if you don't want it to die. most fandoms die because people say 'it's so sad watching the fandom die when the hype dies' without doing anything about it. I'm not saying you have to push out 100k word slow-burn fic, I'm not saying you have to make fan art or gif sets or edits or anything. I'm just saying we as a community should contribute to our fandom if we don't want it to die, and by contributing, I'm talking about giving kudos, commenting on your favorite fics, reblogging your favorite art and just talking about your favorite characters. that's enough to keep a fandom alive. that's the most effective way to keep a fandom alive in my humble opinion.

fandoms die because people stop talking about it, fandoms die because people stop engaging with fan content once the hype is gone. what I'm saying is, mainstream media's hype may be gone, but our fandom can stay alive and thriving if us as a community don't let it die.
