I'm telling ya, Connor "deviated" this guy before deviating himself.

Unfortunately this one got a direct canon proof called gauge but realistically speaking the cases were what "deviated" Hank (same with Connor), but having to work with an android when you're a hater really got a weight. Was really only a confirmation humans were to blame for all this bullshit too that he realized what they've been doing was "wrong".

SI by Hank is narratively a thing after Connor discovers he lost his son, coinciding with Hank making Connor get in contact with his emotional factor in The Bridge cuz he wanted to test the things he saw. I'm 100% after The Eden Club Hank really don't wanna be a part of this anymore and the only thing he wants is to learn more about deviants instead of capturing androids and arresting 'em (or even killing 'em) for wanting to be free when it's actually a human's fault they're like this in the first place.

That's where empathetic actions start getting in the way in the narrative - it would make sense if Amanda's dialogue didn't got bugged, she literally scolds Connor for saving Hank's life in The Nest where Connor was conflicted about saving a human life (basic of all androids) or capturing Rupert.

U can see Connor sympathizes with Hank's depression fr no matter the route, that's the "feeling" she asks about I guess. The attachment to a human was something expected but putting androids lives above the mission cuz he thought wasn't right is a whole new danger. Unless Amanda really thinks Hank is making up Connor's head somehow as he's in conflict with himself too and that's why Connor is sparing androids (cuz Hank don't like seeing androids dead around and keep disapproving some shit, so u'd technically be obeying Hank instead of Amanda), nothing more - which ain't really the case, the real clash in deviancy is between Connor and the androids he met narratively, they challenge his pov, his propaganda. But I just know players be sparing androids cuz they think Hank won't like.

In the end of the day Hank just wanna Connor to realize he's wrong like he himself was wrong and make the right choice about it: humans are to blame, we're destroying a new form of life, let shit happen cuz it can finally make a change. He ain't wrong but I doubt Hank knows or care about Connor's corporate dirty work dog background, he would've used it against Connor in Last Chance and HPR but I think Hank's main topic here is about "emotions".

Hank interference on Connor is more about projecting himself, u can see how he wanted Connor to "become a person", and in the game having rebellious acts against priorities means doing things for yourself a.k.a. driven by emotions a.k.a. deviancy a.k.a. becoming a person, not a perfect machine. Hank himself is a rebellious person. And as a bonus, well, Hank is a human.

Androids obeying humans, copying humans, listening to humans is... The default imo. They made Connor with the ability of disobeying orders that ain't from his handler but that part of the program still the same doesn't matter how much Amanda hates it - she's an AI herself, obeying CyberLife board decisions: humans. Connor can be the kind of android that is mission>pleasing humans but even to make his mission easier to deal with he gotta deal with humans, he was made to integrate. But I like how the environment during assignment is actually rejection towards this "integration" thing, but still not a complete kick in CyberLife's ass cuz they know people usually hate androids, and no friendly face and voice gonna help with that - it'll actually have the opposite reaction.

So what they've done? Made Connor able to bypass some shit and not let any human become a threat to the whole scene. That's why Amanda gets pissed if u go the friendly route, she wants u to leave it aside and focus on the mission only cuz U CAN and U SHOULD. And that's may be the reason the game considers saving Hank something about empathy - still not make sense, tho. As I said, no matter what u do Connor's still an android. Now, sympathizing with Hank about his trauma and really becoming an emotional pillar cuz he wanna do something about it is already a more complicated area as we got an attachment here, I could still argue androids supporting humans like this is just default but Connor is genuine about it and the issue here is the so called "I want to". It's quite ironic considering Connor is basically an autonomous android, almost all choices are left in his hands alone and they trust his nature as android of always seeking the best outcome for the boss desires and orders. He's programmed for it, it's hard-coded. Wanting to help Hank can still fall under the "I'll be friendly cuz it can help me in the task later" and Connor indeed got a lack of self as NEUTRAL from The Bridge suggests, but the fact he's really worried is already a red flag for Amanda even tho it's expected.

Perfect machines don't let 'em own internal shit interfere in the mission. Hank hated androids and was an obstacle due to his "I don't give a fuck" nature the moment he was assigned to him, why give a shit about him instead of the mission? Dependency. They still gotta cooperate, there's no other way.

Also I think it's the first time ever Connor makes a "friend" on his own. They're forced on this cooperation and Connor gotta decide how he wanna approach things so we have a good outcome in his task, there's nowhere to run. The fact he could get a guy from hating him to being friendly is a big accomplishment in this sense, Hank got a big issue with "fake" and Connor being an android is a challenge for both, not to mention the lack of "self", for example, in how androids are just destroyed like nothing and just replaced, back from the dead even.

No wonder Connor would get attached (i think it's part of the job), no wonder Hank would see androids being repressed for having feelings (something he thinks humans are missing) and hope Connor had genuine feelings like 'em and finally fight against the same propaganda Hank used to believe - and it's ironic how Connor uses Hank's old discourse (a common one) about everything being fake but this time it makes the dude annoyed. Although Hank lacks important details and perceive things in his way I'd say his hypocrisy is ones of the things that challenge Connor - on emotional level and esp if he's trynna befriend him. It can both make him develop resentment towards the guy (as we see with Connor 60) or really be one of the things he takes for him, this rebellious nature of raising your voice, complaining and questioning your superiors and 'em propaganda: everything CyberLife didn't like and something that could lead to deviancy. Lucky him dealing with unpredictability is one of his features.

But comparing Hank and Connor journey is just not a thing, they ain't the same, they come from opposite sides. Hank was born with the choice, Connor... Not exactly, he literally got code blocking him and is sold as merchandise, made for this purpose only. I know Hank wants Connor to make a choice, he wants Connor to make the "right" (in his pov) choice, but Connor is still an android. He notices Connor is always disobeying him and everyone and doing shit he has never seen an android doing before and wants Connor to use it for "the right thing" but if this affirmation is true Hank is lacking a huge background here.

Remove the android emotions and deviancy aspect of it and have just Connor being an assistant in common cases and we have a forever "Waiting for Hank"-type shit. I know Hank's the bark but no bite type when it comes to androids, the "I hated androids until I had actually deal with one" kinda guy or just want 'em away from him.

After sometime he would eventually get used to Connor and even forget he ain't a real person and wish dude was cuz being android is about being fake, realistic but not genuine - and this is infuriating. But it's Hank's interaction with deviants what makes him go "maybe I was wrong. Androids feel emotions, androids can be irrational and make mistakes, fight for their lives. Androids are showing what humans don't these days, maybe we're more similar than I thought" and that's a key point in his "deviation".

It's so ridiculously funny what they tried doing in this game 🤔

I give a less of a fuck about the buddy cop aspect besides the comic relief, but if u wanna talk about the characters alone I find it more interesting.

Hank's only impact in Connor's deviancy is the fact he's also in transition. Remove this factor and see something funny happen.

i’m gonna be real with you guys: matpat is uh, Not my favorite youtuber, to put it politely, but i think we’re getting a little too comfortable with catastrophizing every time a Big Name Clickbaity Horror Youtuber looks at welcome home. nobody likes it when something they love is relegated to reductive theories and comparisons to fnaf/bendy/ddlc/poppy/whatever tae fuck is hot on the market rn, but ultimately i find that the best cure for things like these is to just not give them any attention at all (or at least as little as you can manage. technically i’m defeating my own point by writing this post, but i’m a pedant so whatever.) the it’s so over around us may burn bright but the fuck it we ball inside us burns brighter,

Probably an obvious observation but...the different lengths of Lestat's hair has been annoying me. It's the why of it. It seems too intentional in a show that pays such close attention to detail. But why change it? Then it clicked that the bob is in the season three teaser and the reunion. Two times we've been told we've seen the "real" Lestat he has the same hair as Louis remembers in New Orleans. The longer hair is only during Armand's recollections, the trial, and the tower. All times Armand would have reason to tamper with how Louis' memories play out. Making me wonder if the longer hair is simply meant to be a signal that we're watching a manipulated memory. Which changes nothing that we don't already suspect but it makes it interesting that he has short hair in the S2 fight scene revisit and long hair in the S2 Claudia turning revisit.

the annoying piece that doesn't fit, dreamstat:
