AITA For Creating A Robot Of My Baby Brother?

AITA for creating a robot of my baby brother?

I (19M) am a Cambridge graduate with a masters and PhD in robotics. I often struggle to find ways to stay entertained, so I recently decided to do so by creating a life-size, hyperrealistic robot of my little brother (17M). I installed it with verrry basic AI and voice recognition to allow it to follow my verbal orders and several defensive mechanisms to make it difficult to beat, then sent it to my brother's school and challenged him to stop it from causing a disturbance in his image.

I thought this would be a fun and engaging challenge for my brother, who is a genius with clinical depression, as well as a much needed bonding activity between us, as until recently we hadn't interacted in four years. However, he disagrees, telling me that creating the robot was "obsessive behaviour" and that I "creeped him out".

I don't understand what the big deal is. He knows I wouldn't actually have made the robot do anything that would damage his reputation, so I personally think that he is overreacting. However, he's now refusing to talk to me again, so I am unsure.

What do you guys think. Am I the asshole?

Five should never have been with the CIA, he should have been with the Keepers

the CIA is incredibly reminiscent of the Commission, the thing that Five has been trying to escape since s1, and that has repeatedly dehumanised, manipulated and hurt him.

not only is it a secret organisation that aids in the manpiluatation of the lives of others by a higher power but he is also constantly monitored, with and without his knowledge -

he has to report to his boss, he is constantly followed/attended to by Derek (who is lightly implied to also be a keeper), and the keepers are undoubtedly reporting back to his boss to keep him in line without his knowledge.

(just look at how many are keepers.. thats insane for Five not to have noticed anything after spending so long in the commission on high alert - what happened to him always checking the surroundings first??)

sounds similar to him having to report the handler, constantly being followed by her (into the bathroom, the tube room, etc) and always being watched by the infinite switchboard and his tracker.

there's also the "Five is one of the top agents at this secret and shady org. and Diego is the butt of the joke because he wants what Five has and Five won't give it to him & when he does get it it's a comedy scene" thing.

which is honestly just another nail in the "cia is too similar to the commission to be comfortable for five" coffin for me..

he is also constantly referred to as "Mr. Five" a name that is only ever seen used by the Commission,

and which is supposed to show the Commission's false respect for Five by tacking a "Mr." onto his name while also refusing to add on a surname (Hargreeves) - or in the circumstance that Five doesn't accept a last name, then addressing him by his full name "Number Five" or "00.05" or just "5" - which dehumanises and detaches him from his family aka his reason for leaving.

Five also calling his boss "sir" is incredibly out of character as at no point in the series has he called anyone by a honorific, not the Handler, not his father, and especially not someone younger than him.

Five Should Never Have Been With The CIA, He Should Have Been With The Keepers
Five Should Never Have Been With The CIA, He Should Have Been With The Keepers

and also that he calls the cia director (lance ribbons) "boss"

Five Should Never Have Been With The CIA, He Should Have Been With The Keepers

like not even "my boss" or "the boss"... just "boss". it just feels like such a young mans word, which Five decidedly is not. if i had to pick how he would address ribbons id have him say "ribbons", "director" or maybe "director ribbons" if he was in a formal situation. never "sir" or "boss"

There's Five adapting to the timeline/circumstance and then theres Five's entire personality changing.

and honestly, if this is a survival technique for Five in this timeline, to play into his apparent youth, then why not show that?? or even explore it in a more interesting way like how the comics had him disguise as a kid with a backpack, bike and binoculars???

Five Should Never Have Been With The CIA, He Should Have Been With The Keepers

instead they kept giving him stupid little props that only served to further hammer in the obvious "hey! five works for the cia now!"

Five Should Never Have Been With The CIA, He Should Have Been With The Keepers
Five Should Never Have Been With The CIA, He Should Have Been With The Keepers

all it does is make him look ridiculous, and i know that five is holding the gun and torch in the correct way but god it makes him look like such a cop. and after hes been fighting authority for his entire life it feels so fucking weird.

what's interesting though, is that he would have fit in fine with the Keepers! and we see this demonstrated perfectly in their first scene

Five Should Never Have Been With The CIA, He Should Have Been With The Keepers
Five Should Never Have Been With The CIA, He Should Have Been With The Keepers
Five Should Never Have Been With The CIA, He Should Have Been With The Keepers

just.. the way that perfectly sums up Five.. plus our concerns that he wouldn't have anything to do after the apocalypses are solved and aidan's comments that Five was feeling like he had nothing left/suicidal.. for there to be a group of other people that not only believe him but support him unconditionally?

Five Should Never Have Been With The CIA, He Should Have Been With The Keepers
Five Should Never Have Been With The CIA, He Should Have Been With The Keepers

(aaand im out of pictures... great)

for Five to be able to say this to other people? and to not be thought of as insane?? thats big.

and then for Five to be hinted at not keeping up with his siblings aside from Diego - the deleted scene with Klaus at the party shows that Five doesn't know how long Klaus' been sober for, he also asks Luther where Viktor is, clearly hasn't seen Allison or Ben in a while.. it's all such a perfect set up for Five to join the keepers.

and not only does this set him up with other people, in a support group setting. but it also perfectly sets up his arc to have conflict with his siblings without losing their trust (sorry fivela stans but i cant get on board bc it destroys his relationships with the family).

while Viktor was negotiating with Ben, the others could have been negotiating with Five. which would have brought us full circle, of five disappearing and fighting like hell to get back home, to returning but not feeling like he belongs, to being brought back into the fold. this is also the perfect opportunity to bring Lila in, as she would have the best understanding of where he stands after being manipulated by the commission.

it's also the perfect opportunity to have Five cause the apocalypse, instead of save it. people have talked about Five being set up to cause the next one since forever, and Klaus has a perfect set up for it too.

I personally think that each season should have rotated who causes the apocalypse instead of randomly making it Viktor's fault. this way we could explore the siblings individually and their trauma and recovery. give them all a seasons worth of focus.

season 1 gave us Viktor's apocalypse.

season 2 should have given us Diego's via JFK's survival causing the apocalypse (exploring his hero complex and how his ignoring his family in favour of pursuing his own ego/comfort isn't good for anyone etc)

season 3 should have been Allison's via her desperation to get Claire back - the kugelblitz shouldn't exist (because it doesnt work with the established laws of space time) but instead her deal with Reginald should have caused the apocalypse maybe as a way to motivate the others like Five into finding a solution.

season 4 can still be Ben's but ultimately for the final season it should have been a joint effort or at least come full circle and actually been impactful with more connections to Ben's death instead of the 2 second reveal of him getting shot in the most anticlimatic and confusing reveal i have ever seen. Ben has literally haunted the narrative for 4 seasons, between his death being the reason they disband, to his ghost being the reason they survive at the end of s1 and s2, and his alternate reality self in s3 and s4. he didn't get the send off he deserved for someone who has influenced near everything in the show.

there should have been 8 seasons - 7 to deal with the issues of the individuals, and 1 to deal with their recovery as a group, almost acting as an epilogue.

instead we got 4 poorly planned and incomplete seasons..

anyway, thats what i think Five should have been doing this season, not joining the CIA

hc that slimeriana learnt sign language for flippa except these little bitches couldn't decide on teaching flippa ASL (used in America) or LSM (used in Mexico) because they kept arguing about it. So each of them learnt a DIFFERENT ONE and now they secretly sign insults to each other.

bonus points if the first time qcharlie ever told Mariana he loved him was in sign language, and when he was asked what it meant he said it was an insult. This led to qcharlie signing it to him EVERY day and qmariana rolling his eyes at him for it thinking he's being insulted

Flippa knows about it and she just looks at him like i know what you are while he tries defending himself saying he 'just finds it funny'

qcharlie also sometimes signs it to him when they're not speaking to each other bc of an argument, but only when his back is turned or else it does Not go well

bonus bonus points if qmariana ends up looking to learn ASL from bbh during qcharlie's eggxile and breaks down sobbing when bad introduces it saying it means i love you

here's your daily lowercase slimeriana hc going back to sleep

Honestly one of my favorite headcanons is that Martin was embezzling funds from the institute AND from Peter Lucas personal. Like yeah he's being psychologically tormented and manipulated and 100% expects death when Peter's done with him but he's isn't gonna die broke.

in my humble opinion the true mark of what kind of a stanley your Stanley is, is his first urge upon seeing a humanized Narrator no stunned silence or processing allowed does he

attack him. violently and with ill intent

engage in a deep dish sloppy makeout

there are no other options
