Hello!!

Connor x Markus for the ask if you want!!! 🌝💙

absolutely want to!!!

my brutally honest opinion is that YES!!!!! YES!!!!!! YES!!!

even when i barely cared about dbh watching a playthrough for the first time ever (i thought the game was silly, which to be fair it really is), seeing that church scene initially made me go "🤨 did he just Pout at the guy?", but ooooooh boy playing it for myself and actually caring opened my eyes!! not only i started caring a lot more about every character, but really dissecting all their connections and parallels has taken a whooole tower inside my little deserted skull!!! they have angst, they have fate, they have trust, they have power, they have reflections and differences, they have uniqueness exclusive to them, just!!! whats there not to love?

i loveeee comparing their abilities, their stories (old antisocial white men who try teaching them about humanity despite hating it themselves? uncertainty in their methods? goal focused to the extreme?) and ive already talked like 3 or so times about my intrigue with their origins, but its just so fascinating!!! not to mention the potential of the rivalry to lovers line, i mean. im not usually the biggest fan of love and hate relationships, but their battles as machine versus revolutionaire were so.... they were something i can say that much!! i love watching cool fights and theirs just felt so intimate for some reason, to the way that in specific scenarios, if you fail in the same spot as one or the other, their gazes will linger longer than if you see the same scene from the POV of the winner? i mean how heartwrenching is that!!!! and Markus' constant reluctance to face Connor, while Connor will be deadset on achieving his goal (cough despite hesitating each time cough), it haunts me!! in one way or another, for better or worse, whichever the meaning theyre made for each other and thats what i think!!
