The Matrix [1999]

Sarah gaped in shock. Her heart felt heavy and she couldn’t speak for a few seconds. Soon tears began forming in her eyes and her lip quivered “I love you too. I love you so much” she wept, kissing him back
He sighed happily into the kiss and pulled Sarsh as close as he could. “I th-think I want you to be my g-girlfriend,” Techie said, looking suddenly unsure of himself. He was scared that she’d reject him, even despite their kiss. Self-doubt doesn’t back down easily, after all.
She held his hand and helped him unwrap his bandages. “Is that any better?” She smiled brightly.
“Mm, y-yes,” he said, and his new eyes widened before focusing completely on Sarah’s lovely face. “You’re the f-first thing my eyes h-have ever seen.” The thought makes Techie smile. “I’m g-glad it’s you.”

Send “!!!” for my muse to jump out from behind a corner, trying to startle your muse. @techiehux
BO1289 had intended to catch a fellow trooper by surprise. It was all about making sure that he was always on his guard as part of the training process. They had been given a troopers name written on a paper, told not to tell each other who it was, and to report back their findings on the soldier in question.
So imagine his surprise when he jumped out from the corner of a hallway and bellowed his loudest warcry-only for it to be in a small, defenseless man’s face.
Woops.
Techie threw himself down onto the ground and covered his head in a defensive maneuver learned from years of beatings as soon as he heard that terrible scream. He was nearly incoherent with terror, shaking so hard his teeth chattered. “Pl-pl-eaaase! D-don’t h-hu-hurt meee!” he wailed.
but if you ever think it’s a bad time to send me headcanons just consider this
- its not
[OOC POST]
I’ll be at Supercon tomorrow so pardon any silence! For the past two days I’ve been scrambling to get my cosplay to 100%, and hopefully will be able to reply to everyone on Saturday. Thanks for your patience! ❤
Okay, I’m just going to start by saying this: I love Techie, and I love how the writers gave this HUGE nod to his fans and his fandom. But this short comic book story took all the AU’s, all the ships and the fan-made lore and turned it to shit.
I wouldn’t be as pissed if the comic was good. But they changed Techie’s body type (if y’all remember, Domhnall isn’t skinny as a stick), they gave him a mediocre name LITERALLY MADE OUT OF TWO OF DOMHNALL’S OTHER CHARACTERS, and perhaps most importantly (to me at least) they either omitted or forgot about Techie’s mechanical eyes.
The short flashes of Techie that we saw in Dredd painted a picture of a traumatized man scared for his life and willing to do anything to help him survive. Now, he has a wife & kid, he has logged all that emotional and physical trauma away and is just a dissatisfied ex-criminal? I DO NOT accept that. Techie has scars and tattoos and his eyes were literally gouged out and replaced, and all of this characterization was ignored in the comic.
I may love the Dredd fandom and Techie getting recognition, but frankly I believe we deserve better than this thrown-together thing.
That is a big issue for me honestly
Like okay the inflammation would be gone but the eyes themselves?
And where did he meet Zoe? How did he get over the trauma of the sexual abuse he went through?
Full Techie cosplay test! I have a few tweaks to make but, overall, I’m happy with it!
