#i really just went and typed a whole ass essay anon im so sorry sdfjkshdf

Love to hear your opinion! who're your favorite characters in DBH and why?

OOF alright I’m really resisting the urge to say that I love all of them equally because I dO but I’m gonna try to be objective here and really delve into my mind and pick out who I connect with the most

Also a disclaimer this gets longer than I thought it would sdjfkhsd so I’m gonna put all of this under the keep reading so it’s not like a mile long on people’s dashboards and you can choose to read all of it or not lmao !!!!

So…..if it wasn’t already obvious from my icon…..and my header……..and my username lmao one of my favorites is definitely Connor. Although I’m aware of a lot of the fandom’s favoritism towards Connor which affects the balance in content for the characters in this game (which is something that I’m hoping to fix with this blog and what I gif) I can’t help but pick him out as my personal favorite! He’s the whole reason that I got into the fandom in the first place. There was just non-stop Connor content on my dash when the game first came out and I was like “who tf is this twink that keeps showing up on tumblr” so I’m partially biased because of that, but also I think it’s his relationship with Hank that really sunk it’s claws into my brain, the overwhelming Dad & Son energy that exuded from these two had me HOOKED and I’m also a slut for Found Family tropes soooo (also Bryan Dechart really just be out here ruining my life with how good he looks in game and out of game)

But I also think that another aspect of Connor in the game that I really enjoy is how much control we have over deciding his character. Out of the main three, Connor is the only one who we have such a major option in deciding if we want to play him towards the Deviant ending or the Machine ending, and this variety in character that we get is SO interesting to me, because on one hand we have Lovable and Huggable Deviant Hunter who loves dogs and cares so much about Hank, and then like on the OPPOSITE end of that we’ve got Terminator Deviant Hunter who will Destroy Everyone at every opportunity and is a smug lil asshole with his “wHAtS uP LiEuTeNAnt” like I truly can’t get over that and it makes for some really fun gameplay when you can flip flop between these two different personalities

Another character that I seriously love with my whole heart is Luther, who NEEDS more love and appreciation in this fandom because he is a whole ass sweetheart!!!!! Like, he is quite literally one of the most kindhearted and caring people in the game, he’s a gentle giant who puts the needs of others before himself. Every time he comes on screen I just point at him and go “LUTHER YOU DESERVE THE WORLD” because he really does, and there’s a scene that stands out to me when I was trying to get the Zlatko ending for Kara (which i do not recommend because it is HEARTBREAKING) where you can interact with Luther while Kara’s memory is wiped and he breaks out of his programming for just a second to tell Kara that he’s sorry and it’s such a small scene but it KILLS me every time

Okay this is maybe getting way too long because I ramble too much but I’d like to talk about Markus and that I adore his character as well and him and Carl’s relationship really stands out to me when I think about the game, a part of me just wishes that he had more of a reason I guess for wanting to be the liberator of all the android’s. I’m trying to word this in the right way that doens’t sound stupid because I do think that Markus has a good reason and I like that he’s the leader and it fits his character, but there are moments where he talks about how he was just a “slave to the humans” and I can’t help but think “markus….you had like the perfect life with carl and he loved you and didn’t order you around and taught you to be alive w-where did this slave thing come from” but I’m going to blame this lil nugget on David Cage’s writing lmao because other than that there are a lot of interesting moments that talk about power and responsibility of being Jericho’s leader and how Markus is grappling with that and the overwhelming weight of it all that I really enjoy (also jesse williams…….has no right being that gorgeous)

Alright I think I might have answered this WAY too thoroughly lmao im sorry anon, i PERHAPS get way too passionate about these characters, so this is my two cents!!!! I mean tbh I really love all of the characters minus like….Leo and Todd so it’s truly hard for me to focus on just a couple characters because i wanna talk about why i love ALL of them (despite the…..poor writing sometimes attached to them that I again blame david cage for) so thank you for this question!!!! This was super fun to answer ^^
