what is coming is better than what is gone
we are not defined by our limitations. we are defined by our potentials.
I struggled greatly with my adderal addiction at times. I relapsed a few times but whenever I did - or nearly did - the study group rallied behind me and found ways to distract and support me.
Being away from Jeff while I was doing my internship was hard. We talked daily, but eventually realised that our relationship was changing whether we wanted it to or not. We started a long term relationship, but after I finished the internship I returned to Greendale for a while and we tried being a proper couple.
Troy eventually returned and he and Abed finally moved into a nicer flat with each other. Troy had matured a lot, but he was still the goofy guy he’d always been and we were all thrilled to have him back.
Jeff and I moved in with each other after that, and though he tried to pretend marriage wasn’t his thing and that he was against it entirely, he proposed to me in the end.
We ended up having a son, and did name him Sebastian. Jeff had his doubts and anxieties regarding his own father, but of course he was a great dad.

As a child, I would regularly cry for England when he left. He was my big brother and I was scared without him to guide me.
Starting the revolution hurt. I didn’t want to go against England but I had to do what was best for my people. I felt guilty all the time and tried to convince my government to go about it a different way, which they refused.
Through the revolution I got to know France a lot better. He started off as a role model, but as I grew, my feelings towards him changed. I started to see him for the strong, handsome and sweet man he was, and quickly fell for him.
I didn’t announce my feelings for him for a long time, however. But we were close. He would Skype me often as time went by and always seemed to try and tease me. He would make jokes about our relationship and I would get flustered, which he seemed to enjoy.
I always felt guilty for how the world treated Canada. I considered him a true brother and I never wanted him to suffer because of me, even though he did.
Molossia was also a brother to me. He was kinder and gentler around me than strangers, and I loved him dearly.
England and I eventually resolved our issues and became more civil to each other. I was relieved to have my brother back.
I was very close with Liechtenstein as well. We often had picnics together, and when I was alone with her I felt like I could be as childish and obnoxious as I wanted and it wouldn’t matter. Spending time with her was when I felt most at peace with myself and the world.
we are alive
I don't remember why I became deviant, but when I found Jericho there were only a few androids. Gradually they all shut down, and I became the de facto leader for the new arrivals that followed.
Josh was the first of my friends to arrive. North was very relatively new compared to him. I got along very well with him and considered him my closest friend, whereas North and I often clashed over our difference in beliefs.
I cared very deeply for the people of Jericho and their fates, and so when Markus arrived it was easy for me to hand leadership over to him - he was passionate and willing to force change whereas I was focused more on staying hidden and safe.
Markus chose to lead a peaceful revolution. North resented him for a long time because of this, but after we successfully won our freedom she couldn’t justifiably stay angry.
After the revolution, Markus led the negotiations with the humans to win us rights. It was difficult, the humans didn’t want us to have equal rights to them and were constantly trying to get us to settle for the bare minimum. Markus always returned stressed and angry and it broke my heart.
While Markus focused on negotiations, I re-took leadership of what remained of Jericho and tried to guide our people into their new lives - as well as tried to help those who were facing abuse and harassment from the public. Both of us were tired, upset and always stressed, and Markus and I would spend all night talking and venting to each other about they days we’d had.
I don’t remember how it happened, but Markus and I ended up connecting with each other. Both of us realised the other had feelings, and we ended up dating. I had always loved Markus from the moment I met him, and I was so relieved he felt the same.
After Markus and I started dating, he introduced me to Carl. Carl was frail and weak, but he was so happy to see Markus finally content, and welcomed me into the family as if I were his son. We met up a few times before Carl passed, and talked about everything and anything. He was kind and gentle and restored my faith in humanity. As silly as it sounds, I began to see him as a father myself.
While many androids did not choose surnames for themselves - or took their model number as improvised surnames, Markus chose to name himself Markus Manfred. Carl loved him for it and so did I - it suited him. I chose to just use my model number until I finally took Markus’ surname for myself as well.
Connor remained with us for a brief period after the revolution. He frequently expressed guilt for what he had done as a machine, and both Markus and I tried to help him through his feelings. He then returned to Hank and lived with him after that. We did keep in regular contact however, and became quite close.
Markus at some point added modifications to himself to give him the equivelant of tattoos on his arm. It was his tribute to Carl.
When humans finally began to accept androids, they started to roll out modifications for us to buy. I ended up buying “female” modifications for myself to use with Markus. In a way, I suppose I was detached from stereotypical gender roles, and I was happier with these parts than with “male” counterparts.

Hana was my best friend. We were inseperable and it was rare for either of us to actually sleep in separate rooms - we were always staying in each other’s watching films, playing games or listening to music together.
When we weren’t busy or on missions, Hana, Genji, Lena and I would pull all nighters and would mostly just gossip all night. Sometimes, Jesse or Zenyatta would join us - those were the best nights.
I made songs for everyone. I was constantly inspired by my teammates and on the occasions when I wasn’t with Hana I would work on new songs for them.
I remember showing Reinhardt his. I mixed in my own music with bits of the classics that he listened to. When I showed him, he gave me a huge hug and told me that maybe my style of music wasn’t so bad after all.
I once got shot protecting Hana while she was out of her mech. I thought I was going to die and I was so scared. Hana was yelling at me. They managed to evacuate me and I made a full recovery, but I always used to tell Hana that “I took a bullet for you” whenever I wanted her to do something for me.
I began to fall for Jesse. He was in a relationship with Hanzo already and so I settled for pining from a distance. I would make all kinds of excuses to be around him and I was really bad at hiding my feelings. One day he confronted me about it and I got really flustered and upset, but he just laughed and told me that I was terrible at being subtle.
We actually started dating after that. Jesse told me that he’d talked things through with Hanzo and they’d worked it out. I was ecstatic.
As I got more serious with Jesse, I also got to know Hanzo and he gradually opened himself up to me. The first time I actually made him laugh I got all flustered and realised that I was developing feelings for him too.
I began to cherish every moment spent with them both. Hanzo would sometimes let me comb his hair, and Jesse would let me wear his hat. It was special moments like that that I enjoyed the most.
One day I was spending time with Hanzo and Jesse and we were laughing about something stupid and all I could think about was how beautiful Hanzo looked when he laughed. I kissed him kind of impulsively and that was the start of our relationship.
