my personal daemon headcanon for markus is a pygmy falcon and kara’s is a small bird like a finch or a robin, do you think those work well? or maybe their daemons are different depending on what actions you choose in the game! so then you could have multiple possibilities
Ooo Pygmy falcons are such determined little things! They are definitely resourceful and courageous, as well as being accepting and tolerant to those that aren’t a threat. However they seem to also take advantage of others if they can, and have a tendency to ‘mooch’ off them when given the chance, which doesn’t strike me as something Markus would do.
I actually have his daemon as a crow! Known as creative and intelligent birds, they also join together to defend their own, and have a strong sense of justice for themselves and others. They are confident and don’t back down to confrontation, and are able to take risks and handle the consequences.
Before the revolution people would choose their android’s daemons, and I imagine Carl would have wanted a daemon known for creativity and strong personal values, since that’s something he wanted to see in Markus. Carl nurtured Markus to become his own free-thinking person, and I imagine he would have specifically chosen a crow as they are culturally known for a history of creativity, social activism, and leadership.
As for Kara I’m still debating her daemon, but I’m leaning towards a kind of dog at the moment. While finches are loyal and adaptable- not to mention cute- they are also very confident, social, and high energy, which I don’t quiet see Kara as. Robins are also notorious for being aggressively territorial, but I can totally see that as her protectiveness. I want her to have a daemon that reflects her caring and devoted nature, she is obviously very protective of her ‘family’ and will do anything to kept them from harm, and she is also very nurturing.
I believe that much like her name, her daemon would have been chosen by Alice, who would likely have gravitated towards an animal that showed the caring and friendly aspects of Kara that she latched onto. I’m still working on what that animal is, and I’m open for any and all suggestions and help! :D
Just followed for the deamon au this is too great of an idea, where will you be posting your writing?
Aaaa thank you! I’m so glad you like it <3
I will be posting it on AO3, and it will be the first time I’ve posted any writing online in a very, very long time so I’m a bit rusty at the moment. You might have to be a bit patient with me as a brush off my writing skills, but I’m having a ton of fun with this fic already!
Here is the clip of Sean talking about what happened
I apologize for asking this, I understand if you don’t want to answer, but I didn’t watch the stream from yesterday and I’m wondering what exactly happened in the uncomfortable fan interaction story Sean told? I’m too anxious to go look it up, but I still want to know what happened.
At Pax east this year a fan that Sean had met before asked him if she could "be honest with you" and then leaned in incredibly close to whisper into his ear something along the lines "I wish you had stayed single longer", and then she ran her hand down his chest before leaving.
Which crossed so many boundaries and is extremely uncomfortable. It made me uncomfortable hearing the story. I know most people are not like this with Sean but knowing that someone thought it was ok to do that makes me just- *shiver*
Jokes are fine people but god please don’t be creepy and lewd, have some respect for Sean as a human being.

In regards to the ending topic of this stream, remember that while you may feel that you know Sean very personally, we are not his friends and there are boundaries you do not cross.
If you get to meet Sean, you can have a laugh, have a few jokes, but always be respectful and decent like you should with any person. It is not ok to be lewd, uncomfortable or creepy with him. Treat him with respect.
This video made me feel some things lads, I’ve been having a roalercoaster of a year and this video made me think about how I started it and most importantly what this community did for me.
My whole life I’ve struggled with mental illness, the first 14 years of which I was so focused on surviving my hectic life that I had no way of truly understanding the extent it affected me or even know that there was something deeply wrong in wanting to hurt yourself. And the past 6 years I have been grappling with the full force of realising my illness and how deep it goes, including figuring out what it means when I can’t feel emotions, motivation or happiness. I had not expected to make it this far in life, I had never thought about getting past the ‘surviving’ stage of my life and making it into the ‘living’ stage.
This all came to a head at the end of last year when, simply put, things got Bad.
Now I’ve been watching Sean’s videos for 5 years or more as a casual viewer, but when I was going through these incredibly dark few months I latched onto these videos, and this person, like some kind of lifeline. They showed me an honest, genuine person who was funny and heartfelt and was able to keep my spirits up just enough to have some hope, who gave me a connection to hang on to. And through this mild obsession I found myself in, I finally came into contact with the community. And let me say you guys, this wonderful, positive community, you all really helped me get through something that could have easily ended so, so badly.
I’m still going through rough times, and I don’t see it ending any time soon, but this wonderful community still help me keep my spirits up when I need it most, and I’m so grateful for it. You are all amazing, thank you 💚
Thanks for answering my question! It would be amazing to see Sean around at Brighton Pride, last year I went was my first Pride event and it was incredible and something I will remember for life. Even just to know that Sean was out having fun in a community he supports so well would be heartlifting.
Also I’m so happy to be able to donate to charity that I know I needed at one point in my life, and could have helped me a lot had I known about it. LGBTQ youth are disproportionately at risk and need all the support we can give them.
