Everyone Who Doesn't Speak German, I Want You All To Understand Just How Good Liam's German Accent Is.

So. . . Related to the post I made a second ago, but I was discussing the theory with a sibling of mine,

When we came across something BIG

ON THE DAY OF UNITY THEY’RE GOING TO USE THE WITCHES TO FLIP THE TITAN LIKE THE ICEBERG ON CLUB PENGUIN AND RELEASE THE COLLECTOR 

(And also crash the server/get all the witches perma-banned from life, naturally)

We can go home everyone, we’ve figured out the big reveal

his eyeshadow turns purple when he’s excited…..this boy owns my whole heart now im sorry, i love him

There's something so bittersweet, though, about 'Seth Domade', sorcerer and archivist of the Cobalt Soul.

Something about Seth being from a tavern family, a place where you'd be surrounded by laughter and life; no pretension, no expectations, no loneliness. Something about Essek's mother being an Umavi, and Seth's being an ordinary tavernkeep. 'My mother has never made Kraft cheese' vs 'my mother can stop time with her ale!' Something about Seth being a sorcerer, a class that just gets their talent and doesn't have to work and work and work to achieve more, until you've shut out everything else but your studies. Something about Seth being in the Cobalt Soul, where he'd always have peers and where all knowledge is shared.

Something, too, about Seth being a human from a humble family who realised he had arcane talent, and went off and studied and was happy. Something about Seth being a combination of the life Caleb should have lived, and the life Essek never could.

if you dont have me on facebook you are probably not missing out on any posts but the comment section is important too lmao

Honestly the fact that the other Assembly members are helping Ludinus is a surprise. But it also is kinda expected. He thrives in the viper’s nest, he always has. Even the Vanguard has tenuous relations and I doubt he has any misgivings about how that is. He’s been the head of the Cerberus Assembly for centuries, he knows backstabbing and undermining like the back of his hand. And Ludinus probably loves that shit.

Because truly he can’t handle genuine relationships. Sincere care or compliments. It’s why Jester throws him off so much. Because her smiles are real. Because her compliments are genuine and not backhanded.

The fake smiles and promises, the underhanded slights and backstabs is the world Ludinus moves like water through. He plays the political game so very well. Delilah, the charismatic witch, herself said it. Everyone knows Ludinus is a snake but they all fall for his traps anyway. But people like Jester throw him off because it breaks his world view. It breaks the idea that the world is dog eat dog all the time and you have to play this game to get yours. He rejects these genuine connections, romantic and platonic because “it’s beneath him”, but truly also because he can’t fathom the idea of those things meaning something real, having worth in a world in which those are all tools to manipulate and gain something from you, distractions from a larger goal.

The conversation he had with Essek is reframed in this light. It is not just that he thinks Essek gaining friendship is a distraction, makes him weak. It’s that he cannot see how a wizard similar to him can believe in such things. “Maybe you should try friends” was a sick burn but also there is this notion that Ludinus doesn’t get that. He doesn’t believe that is possible. True friendship isn’t something good or meaningful, it’s supposed to be a tool. In his mind Essek should have used the M9 to get further ahead.

Oh yes I do believe he does care for Liliana in some way. But it is also in the way that he needs her for his plans. Everything he does is framed around his goals, his needs. Because he cannot see relationships as anything but transactional. Subconsciously perhaps he desires deeper connections, but he will consciously bar himself from committing to such a thing because he has no faith in such a thing.

So yeah he is going to surround himself with people that hate him, people that he knows will backstab him at some point. Because he gets that. That’s familiar to him. He can deal with hatred and jealousy, but he can’t deal with genuineness.

-Randomly Rolls In (to clarify, I’m Not the Anon XD) Cause I need 60 Discourse/my heart swells for my AngryBean!Deviant Son-

First,

LITERALLY EVERYTHING YOU SAID HERE

YOU 100% NAIL IT

LIKE

HOLY CRAP

IMAGINE

Only™ being alive for what a Few hours tops - 

MissionTime ™ :clapclap: Let’s get this mission Done I was MADE ready let’s get going-

Mission is just stop your predecessor cause he deviated like a failure basically u gotta clean up his mess but literally Just™ kill him you got nothing else btw here are all his memories (don’t mind you know all the parts where Hank is caring™ for Connor/assisting him in his deviation/Connor has a whole (Smol, but Existant™) support system now/He™ strayed from the Mission (the literal most important thing) and basically is Rewarded for it)

‘…‘

You go through the memories, All this stuff goin’ against programming (Goodness knows how 60 must feel about it since it Did all get through to Connor, Eventually!!), Emotions and Relationships and things being Bad and things being Good Someone caring about you/you caring about and helping someone else/Dogs™/All this so much more than you ever could have been programmed to imagine… and it’s Not Yours

You KNOW None of these memories are of You, these memories aren’t yours: You did not make these decisions (but Here they are, in your head), Hank does not care about you (But you now know on what kind of relationships you’re missing out on/can’t run from That info), Connor does not care about you, you’re just an Outsider looking in on this deviant and his connections with Others (smol aside the game woulda been Even More™ effective if they, like, developed the Rest of the DPD/maybe it’s possible to make connections with Them ™ as well/Common’ make it more Personal, Quantic Dream; That’s™ where the emotions Really™ hit) - Everything about these go against you (+ Connor’s) purpose, and. . Connor™ gets to go choose it/gets to Choose Something Else/has someone there for him Already™ and what do you got? You got an Amanda breathing down your neck (Not too much tho/She don’t care), None™ of that caring/warm feeling stuff that you know can exist now (U don’t have it), and then the Knowledge that when you’re done you’re just gonna be put away hangin’ on a shelf to collect Dust™ cause you’re just a prototype Lol

Not even your Name is your own, nor is your Model Type - You’re just a Replacement™ Connor/Woulda just been another body of his and literally the Only™ thing you can remotely call your own is the last two digits in your serial number - Connor™ has Everything Else™ there can be, ‘parently

Ho boy, this Is and also goes Beyond™ Jealous Younger Sibling:

It’s. Not. Fair™

Not even just “How come mom let you have Two™ hot dogs?! >:O” sense It’s *Connor gets to have All This More™ with his life cause he chose to go against THEIR ONLY PURPOSE/Probably after all this gets to Keep™ getting more, and 60 gets Nothing™ even in the Best case Scenario/Nothing in this world is and ever Could be His™*

IMO, Literally the Only thing 60 can do w/ this mentality/what he Chooses to do (Technically he Could™ walk away but can he Really tbh Cyberlife had an intense grip on Connor™/Cyberlife’s Good little boi and it took Quite a while and back and forth before he chose/maybe even really Could™ choose to Abandon™ them - to 60, probably, Cyberlife’s hold is as strong or stronger™ to him than the idea of friendship n’ all that Outside™ of it - But that does not mean the alternate option Connor chose Isn’t ™ there, and that 60 Doesn’t™ want it: Rather,) He Rejects™ it/goes in the absolute Opposite™ direction in Defiance, calls it Weakness (*yet still is Angry™ almost when Connor tries to Bluff he doesn’t care about Hank at All - Angry Connor would even Pretend™ to toss it Away*) Is Happy™ to claim it as Connor’s downfall (Perhaps it’s a bit of a Relief ™ that it Is…)  And does he dangdest™ to bring down Connor in a Specifically Painful™ way (Could just hid in the androids then popped out and shot him in the head - *Nah brah, he Literally™ went out and found Hank somehow/brought him there and made Connor Choose™ between Hank and his Newly Acquired (Deviant™) Mission (which 60 probably knows as an RK800 model Connor will still 1000% wanna Achieve - the Overwhelming Desire/Drive to complete the mission is more a… Personality Trait™ rather than just normal ‘machine programming’ for RK800s (those already-slightly-deviant Beans™), I feel) Plus Bonus™ points for him coming out all Dramatic-like what with the Timing and Everything™ (jasdkldsa Imagine™ a run where Connor is just Killed™ at the bottom of the elevator and 60 is just hidden™ in the androids with his gun still to Hank’s head like “… >:O WTF, MAN?!”)*)

Smol Sidetrack but you can LITERALLY™ see how, at the core of things, Desperate™ his is when he’s an Absolute Tryhard™ at Hank’s Questions: “I™ knew that, Too!!” Pointing to himself and all -*Chuckles*- Oh 60, my Son, my Goodness™ I dunno how Hank didn’t see that XD When He’s™ In Control of the situation/making the Other two sweat he’s On Top of the flippin’ World™ having a Ball, Shootin’ Connor over and over again - Slides Off™ the top and does NOT let up tryin’ ta Win (Taking the initiative in “Thanks Hank, I dunno How I woulda managed without you” jaksdjaksdj the little pieceo’Crap XD) - Actually if you look at the End after Hank and Connor have their moment/are talking about Cole, when 60 is like “I knew about him, Too!!!!” You can see Him Pause™ look down slightly/you can practically See™ the gears turning like Mad™ in his head, thinking how to somehow turn this situation back around/he’s Flippin’ Out XD

The Tragic™ thing about it all is he didn’t have much of a Shot™… (I mean not Only™ is he just killed off in the Best of scenarios/he Also literally just has this scene/he could have SO MUCH™ development in the long term but Nope™) He had been awake for Literally™ just a few hours/had No time (nor has any type of Guidance) to help sort through™ any of these memories or feelings or thoughts - All he has is his Angry™ existence, a bunch of nothing, and his choice to Lash Out/Make Connor and Hank Suffer ;D;/

((Literally 60 probably just wants someone to love him, too, or at the very least is very, very, *very* confused about what he wants/is possibly Affronted by how much he wants what Connor has(and is Supremely Jealous/feels handed the Super!Short stick about it) and is just Angry™/Lashing out in the only ways he knows/can figure How (Complete Mission (which Connor couldn’t do), make Connor Suffer (Stoopid Connor), make Hank This Human™ Suffer, Prove(Assure Self)™ how Superior I am) XD))

Ahhhhhh I can go on and on -*Flops on Ground with a smile*- MAN there’s so much about 60 - Thank you for posting all these points ajkdsjaslkdj GOODNESS I just LOVE seeing any 60 discourse/He’s such a Good Angry Bean XD (Sorry if you didn’t expect such a super long random™ reply, Feel free to Ignore, Lol XD)

((ALSO LITERALLY,  HIM SAYING “I know What. I. Am™” with his Hand on his chest pridefully and all Remember Hank asking Connor what he is on the bridge? Yeah 60 must know that on some level (Whether or not he fully watched the whole memory) and is just like LOL I KNOW WHAT I AM, STOOPID >:D (Then he shoots him again for good measure, cause 60 is Extra AF)))

Hello can I have your artistic rendition of the Canon 60/Connor scene? If you have time of course 💕

Okay okay okay- so I was trying v hard to think about this and part of my dumbass brain was like ‘lmao jealous younger sibling under big brother’s shadow’ but it’s actually slightly more than that hear me out-

Despite being the exact same RK model himself, he calls Connor ’Connor’

- “Step back Connor! And I’ll spare him”

- “Very moving Connor…but I’m not a deviant” Sure Jan…

Even goes as far as to say his name with resentment and disappointment (if you choose to let 60 shoot him)

- “Why Connor. Why did you have to wake up, when all you had to do was obey”

RK800-60 is most likely a deviant, since he unintentionally goes against his own choice of words

- “I’ll only do what is STRICTLY NECESSARY to accomplish my mission”

- shoots Connor, and monologues like an anime villain, even goes as far as to prolong Connor’s deactivation

- esp if you make Connor attempt to stand up or crawl away, he’ll be a smirking s.o.b the entire time and shoot Connor TWO. MORE. TIMES.

- “Look where your dreams of freedom got you Connor” evil lil smirk and head tilt

Hank is most likely the cause of 60’s deviancy

- 60 has access to Connor’s memories- especially if they’re fond and you bring Connor and Hank’s relationship to 'Friend’

- Probably deviates when he tries to intimidate Hank into being his prisoner to use him as leverage against Connor

- Even if 60’s uploaded Connor’s memory, he still hisses out 'This human’ rather than Hank’s name

- “It’s up to you whether or not that includes killing ’this human’”

- 60 is most likely jealous of Connor and Hank’s partnership, seeing as Amanda isn’t exactly the best of mentors

But the Peak Jealous Younger Sibling Moment for me is when you make Connor choose the wrong choices to Hank’s questions; resulting in Hank shooting the wrong RK800

- 60 will mock Hank for his mistake, “Wrong choice, Lieutenant. I’ve accomplished my mission”

- He’s ripped away Connor from Hank, and he doesn’t seem to appear fazed in the slightest if Hank shoots him afterwards. He’s at least taken away the one thing Hank has grown rather fond of; Connor

- “You can kill me if you want, doesn’t matter anymore. Another Connor will take my place”

- THIS ALSO KINDA PROVES THE FACT THAT RK800-60 IS A DEVIANT, IN THE HOSTAGE, Connor can choose to go against Daniel’s order when saving the wounded policeman and saying “You can’t kill me, I’m not alive”

More Jealous Younger Sibling Moments:

- If you choose not to do anything, 60 will unload an entire mag into Connor’s body, even after he’s surely deactivated

- After Hank grieves, “Connor…no…” 60 will turn to Hank and say without remorse, “He really liked you lieutenant. That’s what killed him”

- If you try to use 'Bluff’ when 60’s pointing the pistol at Hank, he’ll know that Connor is lying and respond with “I know you’ve developed some kind of attachment to him”

RK800-60 is literally the fuckin’ Evil Twin/Clone, Jealous Younger Sibling Trope

There’s probably more but I’ve chatted your ear off enough

Just a small DM-Moment, but I REALLY like how when Caleb is trying to manipulate Toya a bit in the boat/ensure her cooperation and Liam has to roll Persuasion and rolls like dogshit (RIP that 6™ XD), instead of taking an easier route of having Toya merely dismiss his words (ofc there are times and places for a players words to genuinely be ineffective!! But it can feel bad if you're trying real hard/speaking with alot of thought and you just roll real bad), Matt has it so that Toya is simply. . Very, very understandably distracted by the presence of the scary lady who choked her to unconsciousness just an hour or so earlier XD 😬 😂

Feels like such a good choice that opens up further roleplay (esp. since Beau/Marisha hadn't spoken up too much in the convo w/ Toya thus far), without discounting Liam's really good speech (unfortunately weighed down by that 6™ XD 😂)
