Really happy to see this at my local library
Me: it’s an absolute tragedy that we only get three or so in-game conversations between Markus and Connor, there’s so much potential between them, what would their relationship have been like if we’d seen more? Me: …
Me: …
Me: … Ok google, unrelated search: how many times can Connor and Markus try to kill each other?
Connor fails to kill Markus
Connor can kill Markus…
… or Markus can kill Connor.
Connor can draw a bead on Markus but loses his chance to kill him.
sweet fucking jesus

Connor resists shooting but gets lost in the zen garden, we get the same scene but from a slightly different angle:
Connor shoots Markus while up on stage with him:
This is… seven different events where they can try to kill each other, with SIXTEEN death scenes. Like holy fuck, I’d originally just thought that they rarely interacted and that Markus-Connor shippers just all tended to like Foe-Yay due to the chemistry of it, and the fact that their roles as deviant leader and deviant hunter make them perfect for it. Apparently no, it’s not just that, they literally have a fuckton of scenes together, and they’re literally trying to kill each other in nearly every single one.
This is a shitton of character energy channeled straight at each other, with their goals and their worldviews and their strategies all clashing together at the same time in the same explosive struggle. Connor has been ordered to kill Markus, and Markus is determined to lead androids to victory. Each one of these encounters is a stage for these struggles to play out.
This is also part of why I like the scenes where they work together so much. They can cause so much harm and be this violent, and yet when they do work together and trust each other we get one of the very few endings where everyone can escape and be happy. When they finally channel these absurdly high sets of competence and determination to a common enemy, they do the fucking impossible. Connor brings Markus an army, and Markus maneuvers everything so that humans are forced to back down.
JUST AGH I LOVE THE POTENTIAL IN THESE TWO. There’s so much there, and they’re great!!

Gavin: Haha, you ever have that feeling where you're so hungry that you feel full so you won't eat? And then you'll feel light headed? And then you won't have enough nutrition to continue to be conscious for-
Gavin, falling unconscious: Fuck...

I live in Maryland and I go to Virginia VERY often to visit relatives but not ONCE have I seen anything to be deemed batshit.
I'll provide an update later.
Do non-americans realize that the United States is literally just a bunch of countries in a trench coat that agreed to be semi-nice to each other in order to sneak into the Big Boy Club? Because let’s be honest that’s just what the USA is
Nines: We need a distraction. Are any of you good at jumping up and down and making annoying noises?
Gavin: My time has come.
