"What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet.
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
and, for thy name, which is no part of thee,
Take all myself." (Pag72)

This unicorn that at first meant the search for freedom, and then was the signal to confuse us (and why I left the book).

Was Deckard a Replicant? "They are humans? It's hard to tell..."

Ah, stupid movie, stupid book, I hate doing this to myself again 😩🫠

This monologue always made me curious, but because of Above The Sky, it hurts even more now. Btw, the owl being a symbol of intelligence and wisdom, and the unicorn... 😮‍💨

"Implants. They're not your memories. They're someone else's. Those of Tyrell's niece."

I clearly know where this is going, I always did, but it tears me up to see Rachael cry 🥲

"More human than humans. She's an experiment."
:)

Replicants bc Replica + incomplete = Incomplica and me collapsed.

Also, there is a replicant called Beauty and the Beast 😩 afraid af.

I'm still deeply disturbed by the fact that Nexus robots are called "replicants" and that their death or murder is called "retirement." Also the fact that Nexus6s are only 4 years old, and that they are capable of emulating human emotions...
