Watch until the end

I know it has been 3 years since Detroit Become Human came out but I had nothing to do and I really felt like translating some moments of my favorite Let's Play of the game (the Let's Play is from a french youtuber called Bob Lennon).

A bit more context: In his run Bob played a mostly machine Connor (he did some chooses that are considered deviant by the game, like helping Hank on the roof top instead of chasing after the android but Bob didn't see it has deviance, just something a well programmed android should do: the life of a human comes first, an android can't leave a human in danger without assistance).

One of the gimmick he had was having Connor often says something like:

Probabilities of deactivating the deviant unit by shooting it in the positronic unit: 98%

Probabilities of survival of the human hostage: 19%

PARAMETERS: ACCEPTABLE

So at the end of the game after being replaced by a new model, and after he had done some actions considered deviant (like killing humans who were in its way), Connor instead of thinking becoming a deviant is acceptable, he accepts it.

English is not my first language so my translation may be to literal. If you think you've got a better translation don't hesitate to share it !

i want that slut covered in blood and traumatized by his actions

Took me three hours to find a fanfic where the main character has any other emotion outside of bone-crushing fear for the other characters to sympathize over

[chaos-theoryyy]

Oi hear me out on this okay, focus with me for a second

I haven't seen this dbh trope anywhere it came to me in a prophetic vision

[theregretofgod]

I LOVE MEDIA THAT INVOLVES A ROBOT BREAKING ITS CODE AND FEELING EMOTION! ! !

IT ALWAYS BRINGS ME SO MUCH JOY ! ! !

YES MY DEAR ROBOTS GO CRAZY WITH FEELINGS! ! !

How far would you go to save the one you love?

I had the ABSOLUTE pleasure of collaborating with the amazing, talented, insane @nothinggathers for the DBH Reverse Big Bang 2024 @dbh-bb. This is a project that's been marinating in my head for a while featuring an initially machine!Connor leaping through different universes to try and save Hank, and deviating over the course of his journey as he grows more desperate to save him, develops a sense of connection with his own people and identity, and — of course — falls in love. It's been months of blood, sweat, tears, and lots of screaming, and there will be several more of the same, because this monster of a collab is reaching well over 150k words (Atro, I love you).

start here!!

(more close-up shots because the details on this piece took me forever):

"Don't move!" "Don't shoot. I'm on your side." "With us? Are you a human?" "Obviously! What do I look like? DPD. I work with Lieutenant Hank Anderson? We're on a stakeout. If I knew you were coming I would have brought some donuts." "You're a lucky guy. Another second and I'd have shot you. You should go back up on deck and let us do our job." "You're right. That's... Exactly what I'm gonna do."

You look human, you sound human, but what are you really?

"You're a machine, Connor... Just a machine."

i have this headcanon that the first ap700 that connor tries to interface with at cyberlife stays "awake" even after connor is interrupted from converting him. so like he's just standing there awkwardly hearing a bunch of shit go down behind him but unable to move or do anything. and then he remembers the exchange after he deviates and is just like--

[pastelaeqy]

sorry started thinking about dbh after so long. apologies guys. yes Connor is my favourite. He’s a combo of like all my favourite character tropes and I love a good (question mark) story about robots.

something something the end poem and being alive and playing the game. had this bad boy in the wips for so long.

Six years late, but apparently that is what was needed so I could not fail miserably at trying to draw everyone's favourite Detroit machine I am obsessed, spent his week reading fanfics and watching various clips but still, as I'm a person of one fanart per character I think you shouldn't expect more Connor xD A shame really, cause it seems I'm just starting to learn how to draw him but I don't want to get my own hopes up. Anyways, I'm free now, I contributed to the fandom after all these years.
