#the reason i haven't mentioned alice and kara at all here is because idk which ending seems more true for them. like crossing at the border

reblog and tell me what you consider to be the “true” ending of Detroit: Become Human

#dbh spoilers #detroit become human #dbh #kara dbh #markus dbh #conner dbh #like i know everyone considers the happiest best ending to be where everybody lives and conner liberates the androids from cyberlife #but personally i think if i had to pick one timeline to be canon? simon dies. not bc i want him to but bc i think it's meant to happen. #conner is connected to simon when he dies. his reaction to experiencing death is totally when hank really starts seeing him as alive #conner doesn't deviate at jericho but markus still succeeds at blowing up the ship #markus and the rest of jericho march peacefully to the 'recall center' and hank stops conner from sniping them on the roof #conner leaves the roof without shooting because he doesn't want to hurt hank even if he can't admit why yet. #markus sings and the military backs off. yes i think the singing is stupid too but better than the heteronormative kiss bs #i think this is the 'true ending' bc the final montage of news and politicians is wayyyy nicer when conner doesn't march on the city #with thousands of androids #conner is in the crowd during markus' speech but instead of shooting he deviates at the last second #i think this fits more with his arc than the deviating on the boat thing but it would take too long to explain why #the reason i haven't mentioned alice and kara at all here is because idk which ending seems more true for them. like crossing at the border #makes sense and ties her success in with markus and conner's storylines while also being a culmination of all the experiences she's had on #the way. but so is the recall center #and the center adds a better sense of urgency to markus' protest because kara is there in danger not just nameless androids we never see #the river would add to the refugee themes but doesn't honestly tie in with any other arc so it's not true ending material #anyway those are my thoughts #disclaimer: #fuck david cage he's the worst but damn if his game doesn't at least have potential #mine
