finally posting some dbh fanart 6 years late, i love kara and alice so much i have to draw them again

[my-name-is-markus-with-a-k]

I have never understood how people don't like Luther. All he does is love and protect Alice and Kara and you don't like him?

A reason I was just given is that "He got attached to Alice way too quickly, it was weird" which yes it was very quick, but I stg some people just don't think about these things beyond the surface level.

Luther deviated to protect Alice. He threw off years of programming to do so. Of course he'd get attached to her, she gave him a noble purpose after Zlatko had used him for terrible, terrible things. Not to mention the emotional connection he would form for her, after fighting so hard to deviate to protect her.

He would give his life for her, because she gave him his life back.

This, to me, is the most impactful ending in the game. Spoilers, obviously.

You get this ending by getting Kara captured, winning the Revolution (and I do mean REVOLUTION, not demonstration) with Markus and freeing the androids at the CyberLife Tower with Connor.

And this is almost perfect, as an ending. Yes, technically the demonstration with high public opinion and Kara at the Canadian Border and Connor as a deviant is considered the best ending, and it does make it possible to have Josh alive at the end, but there's some issues with it.

Disregarding how the pacifist ending is unrealistic because public opinion without activism (and even often with activism) doesn't work in real life and demonstrably hasn't worked in-game, either, up until now; a lot of deviants still die. There's like what twenty left at the end? In the revolution ending it looks like more to me although I could be wrong.

Then there's also this: in the pacifist ending, Markus, for a lack of violence, can't shut down the camps. I'm pretty sure - and correct me if I'm wrong - that you cannot free Kara and Alice (and Luther and Jerry and literally the hundreds of other innocent people) by succeeding with the demonstration. So while Markus has set up camp in front of the concentration camps, innocent androids such as Alice are getting destroyed within the camp. And you can't save them. More androids die in the camp by choosing to demonstrate when there is a genocide being enacted on the androids.

Kara's storyline is somewhat about the simple people. It's about the heart. The people just trying to survive, that just want to live and be free. The people that, for whatever reasons, whether they don't have the means to do so or they have something they can't afford to lose, can't fight back. North says "If you're not willing to fight for your freedom, then maybe you don't deserve it." (as a comeback to Josh being an infuriating pacifist) and while I get the frustration, I don't agree. Everyone deserves freedom. The people who can't or won't fight included. The Kara Captured part shows that those people cannot be saved through naive hope but only through concrete means of action.

If I critically think about Markus' situation when choosing Revolution or Demonstration, demonstration is not a viable option.

In this playthrough, I played the best route possible for Markus (in regards to public opinion), which means: Markus didn't push Leo (I mostly wanted the graveyard scene in Night of the Soul). Markus steals the truck of spare parts by distracting the guards with the barrels. Markus doesn't kill anyone in Stratford Tower (and neither does North). Markus sends a strong pacifist message during Capitol Park and doesn't kill the cops. At this point, public opinion is high. Now comes Freedom March. Law enforcement doesn't care that public opinion is high. Markus chooses to stand his ground and sacrifice himself to once again send a pacifist message and really get his point across. Public opinion is really supportive.

Law enforcement doesn't care.

Even with high public opinion, no one does anything to stop androids getting rounded up in the streets, shot in the back running away, or shot in the head even though they're kneeling on the ground in surrender. Androids are being stuffed into concentration camps, which the public understands as being just that indicated by the journalists' questions, yet no one does anything. There's no human protests, no one attempting to contact the androids to help them, no resistance against the camps, nothing!! Nothing! All there is are a couple people on TV who go like "Damn those androids really looked like people who just want to be free and the cops just shot them in the back! :( this is so America."

Public opinion hasn't done anything for the androids and still isn't! There IS NO HUMAN ACTIVISM at all!

Not knowing that, since this is a video game, a demonstration leads to the "Best ending", how can you expect Markus to choose demonstration? When protesting hasn't done a thing before, how could you just stand by and say "please don't!" while your people, innocent people are being slaughtered? From my personal view, the only valid choice here is to try and save as many lives as possible through violent revolution.

Obviously, it's desperate, and as Markus says when he succeeds at the battle, "This isn't a victory. It's the beginning of a war." I acknowledge that! Even though in this ending, there is no war, and negotiations begin (because Connor popped up with an army), there's no way to know that going into things. But public opinion is supportive! And in fact, it stays supportive even with the decrease of choosing Revolution! So that gives time to get public opinion to carry over into activism. Violence at this point buys the androids more time, more future, than standing by and marching yourself right to the doors of the concentration camps with no proper way of defending yourself.

And I'm open to discussion on this, I'm interested in hearing other people's viewpoints! Because right now, 150h into the game, I don't see a sensible alternative in the situation of "our people are being killed in concentration camps".

All of these people on screen would be dead had Markus chosen to demonstrate.

I wish you all a wonderful time celebrating the new year 2025! I sincerely hope you get to spend it with the people you love, that is what matters the most 💙

Sorry that these aren't finished, these past days I have focused my mind on other things. I really would have liked to have them all beautifully rendered but, having a deadline has always been something I struggle with and circumstances have only made the pressure worse. Thanks to everyone who reassured me about taking a break from drawing for a bit, it was something I needed!
