yes, i do ship those three!
tho the jericho squad (aka: jericho four, jericrew, polycho) refers to four characters: markus, north, josh and simon
but thats okay, you don’t know this content. imma throw josh in there cuz i ship them all and hey, i like josh (with a side note that he’s the most forgotten of the jericho four by fandom so i wanna include him. josh exists, you guys!!)
so yeah, whatever they’re called, the gangs all here:
who hogs the duvet
none of them need it for warmth so its more of a comfort thing, so with that in mind: north. theres a gal that curls into a ball sometimes
who texts/rings to check how their day is going
i can see all of them doing this (but with their mind connection, tho i don’t know the range of that thing) so from most to least: simon, josh, markus, north (this is not me implying north doesn’t care about her husband and besties)
who’s the most creative when it comes to gifts
markus, he’s artistic and was raised by a guy with a giraffe in his house
who gets up first in the morning
north sleeps the least
also contrary to popular opinion androids do sleep (we see it several times in the game), i imagine its like a computer being off or on stand by
who suggests new things in bed
simon
yeah you heard me
the jumping off point for my josh/simon and markus/simon sexual headcanons is that simon is curious and experimental and gets things going, even if he’s a bit shy about it at first. and it doesn’t help that he can’t swear. when markus and simon start doing things together, simon is the more experienced one because him and josh spend some of their pre-markus days doing robot sex stuff
so i imagine, yes, he has the most things to suggest. then josh. then markus, who was completely inexperienced (and tho he has intimacy programming like all household androids, he’s pretty indifferent to it at first and post-deviating it didn’t even occur to him to even touch himself) and then north, who for at least a while, is sex repulsed due to trauma. so she’s least likely to start things like that
who cries at movies
oh, i’d like all of them to cry. it is their rA9-given right as deviants to cry
in order from most to least: josh, markus, simon, north
who gives unprompted massages
none of them. tho they do all touch each other a lot!
who fusses over the other when they’re sick
no sickness here [kamski voice] perfect beings
tho, techo viruses, perhaps? in that case, simon. he’s a mother hen, really
who gets jealous easiest
no jealousy here, i’ve made that a rule
unless its non-romantic jealousy, then i can imagine north getting jealous of other androids getting treated better by humans. she gets over it
who has the most embarrassing taste in music
you decide, heres what i think their tastes are
markus = classical
north = rowdy college rock and punk rock
josh = indie folk acoustic guitar kinda thing and grunge music
simon = pop music of the sara bareilles variety (i was just gonna say pop music but i wanna make it clear im picturing a very specific kind, the kind with ballads). he also knows every disney song because that makes sense
who collects something unusual
does collecting android children count?
what about cult members?
i actually don’t have a serious answer for this i dunno
who takes the longest to get ready
markus because he has the most outfits to choose from
who is the most tidy and organised
simon, he’s a PL600. i mean, sure markus and josh would also be neat but simon was literally a maidbot and i imagine certain behaviours stick with ya
who gets most excited about the holidays
i like to imagine this squad having christmas parties (and other such parties) cuz i like to imagine everybody socializing in large groups. so they gotta like christmas enough to have parties about it. i imagine simon, markus and josh all are at least into the holiday (they spent enough time with humans to celebrate it) whilst north is indifferent cuz she’s never hada christmas. oh, thats a plot
north’s first christmas! seriously, how cute is that?
oh gosh picturing them all in christmas jumpers is warming my heart so much. and you just know simon’s cooking some elaborate and abundant christmas meals. another reason for the party, so theres humans around to eat it!
on the other hand, i do like the idea of all of them preparing lots of food together and giving it to homeless shelters so they can have a lovely christmas. its altruistic and they can spend time with them, giving north human bonding time
this is all very sweet
oh to answer the question, from most to least: simon, markus, josh, north
who is the big spoon/little spoon
ALL COMBOS ARE VIABLE AND PERFECT
and gosh damn theres a lot of combos there
more often than not i imagine them in this order when laying in bed: josh spooning simon who is spooning markus who is spooning north
but note i am very fond of north spooning markus
tho josh/north & simon/north cuddles happen the least (they’re friends not lovers), its still on the table cuz friends can cuddle too. basically, it’s all good.
who gets most competitive when playing games and/or sports
north!!
(man, they’d all be really good at sports, that’d be a tough competition)
who starts the most arguments
north and josh equally and that is a fact
them two spend most of the game bitchin’ at each other whilst markus and simon are comparatively softer. despite this i do imagine north and josh are friends, eventually good friends, but they do have their disagreements
who suggests that they buy a pet
so if hank and connor got dogs, gavin and nines got cats, what do the jericho squad have? besides 16 children? (those aren’t pets!)
birds
and thus, it was markus who suggested it
round little birds, both android and organic. peep peep!
what couple quadruple traditions they have
parties at every holiday (simon just really wants to cook, you guys)
i don’t really understand what tradition means in this context so im moving on (any answer i can think of goes in the “spend time together” question so uh)
what tv shows they watch together
what other couple they hang out with
hank & connor, mostly. they’d be in the most contact with those two. theres also the tracis (north would like them a lot). kara & luther (etc), they’d see the least of cuz they’re in canada but it’d still happen cuz everybody is gonna be friends!!
kamski & chloe they’d see a lot of due to Political Stuff
how they spend time together as a couple quadruple
- fighting oppression and social/political injustices
- interfacing (sharing memories or being robo-intimate)
- on that note, being robo-intimate or uh, regular intimate. not always all four of them together, of course, there are several combos contained within this
- reading books either markus and josh has chose cuz they Nerds and markus will read it out to the rest of the three, even tho none of them have to read it like that. they just do it cuz it feels nice and cozy and markus has a nice voice
- listening to music (e.g markus playing the piano)
- GROUP PAINTING!!!!
- yoga / meditation
- maybe they can all practice combat skills on each other, that’d be cool
i really like to imagine these guys bonding and doing mundane activities
who made the first move
with simon/josh, simon made the first move
with any pairing involving markus, he did NOT make the first move
within game its impossible to determinate whom of markus and north made the first move because it goes like: they like each other then they love each other then they’re just a couple now. and it just sorta happens
but let’s operate on the assumption that markus is socially awkward, because its one of my favourite headcanons, it delights me to no end. boy can do lovely speeches but when it comes to one on one interaction he’s got major school only child energy and is clueless. so basically i hc that he was too socially oblivious and polite to make the first move with any of his beloveds
so everybody else made the first move with him
who brings flowers home
AWWWW markus!
who is the best cook
simon. since i assume PL600s are basically the male versions of AX400s (cuz the uniforms are the same and they’re both maid/nannybots), then they must have the same features, including the ability to prepare 9000 kinds of meals
markus is a very close second cuz he’s also a household android
josh can make good coffee/tea, north can and will cook nothing
