because I still haven't got my rp groove back and yet need me some simple pretendy funtimes

I will hit this later!

/handwaves the timeline so I can toss Data at him

where we're going, we don't need timelines

When in doubt, Q did it

Oh sure, blame the omnipotent entity!

hank's texting androids in the future space military

sometimes thats just how it be

i can see data just rolling with it too

Your Hank is so funny, I love him

thank you! that's one thing i enjoy about texting with him, the way i've decided he texts is fun and it's easier to let him be silly

Poor Hank's phone is just going to be blowing up for the next hour

if he lets Data keep going

lord

he wants to be helpful!! but also he texts like he talks so he's just going to go on forever until he's interrupted

he's so good

unfortunately for him hank has a questionable track record with good people

Oh my god I actually laughed audibly

XD excellent

Congrats hank he had to look up an archaic swear because of you

/just assumes motherfucker just fell out of fashion after hundreds of years, because its more fun this way/

see hank's providing learning experiences

the show never really explains if Data is wireless accessing an external database when he does his whole "accessing" thing or if he's just checking his own internal drives but I like to think the former

just hops onto space-google

Also I love "not even androids act this androidy" - Sorry Hank, Data's dad made his big brother Too Human and so he course corrected WAY TOO HARD on the second go around and now Data's gotta crawl his way up from scratch

Thanks, Robot Dad

data you're perfect just the way you are

i love it because dbh androids act more human than humans do XD so a classic scifi style android would still seem unreal to hank

It'll be a real kick in the teeth if he ever finds out that Data's like that on purpose 'cause his dad wanted him to grow into the human condition like it's a hand-me-down shirt instead of just equipping him with it outright

hank thinks that's lame

Soong meant well but WOWIZOWIE he did so many things ass-backwards

lore turned out a dick because lore's a dick, suck it up robodad

It's a tale as old as time - parents screw up royally with their first kid because they dont know how to be parents, so they avoid all those things with the second kid, but just wind up inventing a whole different kind of fucked up for them

oh shit, i replied to the text thread we're already doing last night and when I went to look at it now I realized I never posted the comment

meanwhile my connor is popcorning this entire thread with data and hank

i'm going to post that comment and head to bed. i feel so freaking old by the time friday comes around, lol

at least data's parenting is accurate to humanity in that respect XD

and XD it happens, i've done it too. get some rest!

oh, the hank-data thread is incredible

what series is Data from? i've been itching for a sci-fi series that isn't d:bh but i just never get around to look at things

He’s from star trek: the next generation which I highly recommend, people say the first couple seasons are a little rough but there’s a lot of good android stuff in data’s plot (even though most of the time he’s the only android around, alas)

oohh! man, i'm a baby and star trek is before my time, i didnt recognise the series. i think i saw some posts on tumblr about data writing poetry, Sir I Am A Big Fan Of Your Work
