alice post

i think alice and kara are a foile-a-deux going on there, i think not only is kara in her weird "denial" that bumps the game down a full letter grade, where clearly they put in the alice twist at the last minute and then didnt go back and edit to make sense but alice is TERRIFIED of people realizing shes an android. i think its alice's strongest motivation besides the characteristic anxious attachment that manifests as constantly requesting kara to reiterate/reassure that she's willing to take care of alice. ("i'm cold" bro we know youre not cold you just want to make sure the adults around you care that youre uncomfortable; as a video game character you are annoying but as a person i'm analyzing youre valid and im validating you) alice has an insane amount of some kind of internalized dislike of androids. not that she hates other androids, she seems to like them, but she definitely thinks it would be better if she was a human and not an android. (alice's third strongest motivation is actually that she has a really vivid sense of ethics? this is characteristic of kids sometimes: they've been watching shows where all the morals are things like "dont steal" and "dont bully," but alice is very firm on what she considers right and wrong. she'll chastise kara for violating that, which is incredibly ballsy coming from a child that regularly gets abused when adults are angry with her) alice keeps a photo of the human girl she replaced, standing with a happy version of her dad and a mom that's around and remembers her and recognizes her. alice looks at pictures of humans and is like "haha can we please be like them please kara i would love to be a human child with a human mom and dad :')" if you try to prod alice about what you've realized, if kara puts together the clues while at rose's house, alice completely shuts down in terror because she thinks youre going to leave her for not being a real child. alice does NOT correct kara's weird delusion. alice doesn't offer to interface to immediately warn kara that todd destroyed the last kara, she communicates it with spooky little drawings even though its an actual life or death situation. alice draws herself in her little spookychild abuse crayon drawings with red blood - even inside the little locked chest that represents the secrets in this house that alice knows about. alice is over the moon when jerry treats her like a human child and puts her on a carousel. kara mentions its the only time she's ever seen alice smile. its probably because alice is having a pure moment of carousel!!! just like human child!! everyone thinks im a person so they're being nice to me!! when my dad knew i was an android he was awful! alice is an interesting character written very badly. i do think @thiriumhound is correct that shes a deviant but also she is on some kind of third axis of messed up that has nothing to do with whether shes still obeying her program

You put yourself in (their) shoes. You showed empathy, Connor. Empathy's a human emotion.

Just thought of something

How much it would suck to be a YK500. Like… do these kids go to regular schools with humans?

If they do, they don't age, so if you make any friends, they go up to different grades and your still stuck in what…. 3rd grade. Repeating the same stuff each year. Forever???? I can't imagine

Are there special schools? With androids for teachers and students?I mean in the Detroit universe they segregate busses and stairs and things so… maybe? But that's such a weird idea

If YK’s don't go to school. Then they’re stuck at home all day. And if the parents work all day the kids home alone. That'd be so boring, Kids need to socialize and stuff

In that case do you get a nanny? Do you get another android to take care of your android kid? That seems like such a waste of money! Or not… since Todd seemed just fine

Just seems like a sad life for YK android.

are there any kids at the android day care that youve taken a liking to or stand out in your mind?

Yes. A YK500. Now, I won't reveal the names of any of the android children. This girl is the most extroverted kid in the day care. Like many android children, she's faced abuse, broken by the force of her own program changing her to please her owners, but in the day care, when everyone is playing, reading, talking, she's always focused and curious about fashion styles and looks. Complimenting everyone about their clothes. Asking what kind of hairstyle she should use. What hair color to use. If she should project freckles on her face. What eye color. Always comes up to me asking me what the "newest trend is lately". She's always up to date on what's new and what's old, she just likes to test me, because I always wear nice suits and dress shoes.

All of the children are very respectful, and very sweet, but they're all shy in their own ways. Elizabeth is not. I feel that her energy is a way to cope with her past, and it's clear that her simple confidence inspires the other kids. Even me and my co-workers - I mean, we're all just deviants after all. That's something that she reminds us (the adults) sometimes. Aware of the sensitivity we have in common with the children.

She also has this suspicion that I can sing, and so sometimes when I am making sure all of the children are tucked into their beds, she 'double dog dares me', in this overly endearingly, tiny, sleepy voice, to sing them all, or just her, a lullaby. It's relieving when she asks quietly because I don't know what I'd do if her persistence was loud enough for the other kids to hear and provoke them to beg me to do the same thing. In fact, singing a lullaby or reading them a bedtime story had never been brought up by anyone but Elizabeth. I'm not sure if any of them would like a lullaby, but perhaps a bedtime story.
