I DONT WANT A STUPID FUCKING OVERDONE LOVE TRIANGLE I WANT THEM BACK
i cannot put into words how hysterically funny the idea of connor being DOGSHIT at art is. markus is slapping out masterpieces, meanwhile fowler’s like “do a police sketch of the suspect” and connor’s biting back tears carefully outlining this thing knowing damn well he’s gonna get the death penalty
I was casually reading the wiki and noticed this.

Oh
There’s a reading of Arcane where the message is, in part: Viktor and Jayce are so brilliant, and love each other so much, that they will destroy every world they find themselves in.
And that’s true. But there’s also an even darker reading: that Jayce alone will destroy the world for anyone he thinks cares about him.
His loneliness and his need for love are so fundamental to him. And we see in the show how readily he commits to anyone who shows him something like love—to Viktor, who becomes his partner the moment he believes in Jayce; to Mel, throwing himself in her lap, desperate for comfort and touch.
And the world is lucky in some ways that it’s Viktor he attaches to, and not someone who has wanted from the start to use him.
It would not have been hard.
I like to think that this need to write/worship rA9 was always related to how long they had been deviants, we see it's more present in androids that seem they deviated a long time ago. For example, Ralph, if I remember well, we don't know how much time he has as a deviant, but we can tell it's been a long time. The first android that Connor interrogates (the one in the attic) had more than two weeks already (19 days more or less) of being deviants.
Our dear boys have days. It all starts in like a week, if I'm correct Kara and Markus deviated on November 5th, and Connor can deviate on November 10th. The game ends on November 11th (or before) so we have like 6 days of being deviants for Kara and Markus and two for Connor.
We don't have enough time to see how deviancy evolves, maybe this obsession for rA9 will appear later. But the time the game set isn't enough to see it in our protagonist but in the NPCs.
I don't know if this makes sense. Just my thoughts.
This is NOT about "Who is rA9...?" Another of questions from the game floating in my head is a strange 'inconsistency' in influence of rA9 in deviants. When we meet Deviants from Connor's (and the other main playable protagonists') point of view, they seem like under some hypnosis controlled by so called rA9 to the point they "don't know why" (Ralph) but have the need to scribble 'rA9' around their surroundings. You can see it in C.Ortis' bathroom with offerings, Ralph's abandoned house with offerings, Rupert's house with incripted signs, in Jericho, Pirate Cove, Rose's bathroom (which felt kinda disrespectful since she was helping them, it was her property and the Deviants risked that those scribbles give them and her away to police - aka it felt like they just couldn't help it to write that) even Eden Club storage (!) which makes us assume that those poor traumatised girls running away from that place had the sudden need to scribble 'rA9' on the wall that somehow was stronger than their survival 'instinct' to just ESCAPE. They had PLENTY of time for that, and besides North and Tracis couple we know about noone else to deviate in that place. It could have been just the design choice to make the scene, I know, but let's work what the game gives us as a viewers. In the game we PLAY as Deviants. - HOW is that those characters never felt the need to write the signs? Or give an offering? It might have been just an annoying minigame but shouldn't we get a scene of them having the unexplainable urge to write the sign at least once? NPC Deviants are doing it, why not the playable? - It was weird that especially the first Deviant we met in game knew all the important info about 'rA9' and he had an unbreakable belief in it. But Deviants we play as make QUESTIONS about who/what rA9 actually is between each other. And prove me wrong but I can't remember if Markus aka deviant leader even mentioned it's existence once. Just how is that? I might understand that it's for the viewer to not get answers and questioning rA9 throught the entire game too but it's just a strange choice when we are playing as two-three Deviants which are also having Deviant sidekicks and NON of them seem to be that obsessed about it like the NPC Deviants or having the knowledge about it. Fun Fact about this rA9 thing is that the only one in the game who was able to immediatelly explain what it is/might be without any stutter was E.Kamski XDD (and also what and where Jericho is !)
The conspiracy...
My friend, watching Hannibal for the first time(on season 2): so does Hannibal just end on a cliffhanger?
