Another Instance Of Thinking Too Much About Detroit: BecomeHuman

Another Instance of Thinking too Much About Detroit: Become Human

Ok so I was watching Bryan Dechart’s play through of Detroit and I remembered the whole scene with Hank and the birds, cause there was a lot of fuckin birds. And they were in the mind palace and pigeons in The Nest belong in the same family as doves. In the mind palace they were white doves, a symbol of peace. Maybe its something Cyberlife put in there to put Connor at ease with them, the whole place is kinda designed to be calming. So Cyberlife tries to keep Connor calm and trusting of them, using bird representing peace and love. 

The doves in The Nest are a variation of rock doves/ pigeons, a type of excellent messenger bird that have this trippy ability to always find their way home from any place in the world. Pretty cool right? Not sure what this might symbolize in relation to the story. But i find the fact that Connor is associated with a messenger bird of peace is pretty interesting. He does always return to Cyberlife in the mind palace, so to them that’s his home that he will always find his way back to? Of course if you go deviant you become a free bird, which leads us into Markus’s bird.

The first bird Markus encounter, at lest significantly, are the electronic canaries pictured in Carl’s house. And if that’s not heavy handed symbolism I don’t know what is. A canary in a cage, specifically a human generated life, an imitation. It a direct parallel to Markus, trapped by his programing. A cage. 

Excerpt on canary symbolism - It is symbolic of a transition or spiritual awakening. It may also refer to the craving of an individual for the inner child which would obviously mean innocence. ... ; in the extreme, it could mean entrapment (caged canary). - nice research DBH, well played. 

for Kara - uhh haven’t found one yet. Open to what ya’ll have found. If you do, reblog and let me know your thoughts!

If you wanna read more crazy theories, see my post on the Kamski test, where I analyze the actions of that crafty bastard. 

Choices

ok so, for my next dnd character, should I play

Aldric Theylas (Sorcerer) - literally just Essik/Caleb’s lovechild who is bad at magic, a mess, wild magic out the wazoo

Theodore Quincy Ray Von Gikkengen II (Wizard) - Lovelorn Wizard Percival, sad boi just wants to help

Apollo Black (Cleric) - Vax with Caduceus vibes, aka pastel prank elf

Elijah Jaffe (Bloodhunter) - Percy level vendetta, Vax level edgy, Beau level people skills

why can’t I have both?
