P.s. I feel like our Vs would get along alright together. My guy’s a nomad and a bit of a loveable gonkbrain. Cheeky af at times too LOL

rules: share 4 different fictional crushes that describe the different sides of you

took me forever cus i was stumped on this for days. i dont rly get crushes on characters, they're just items to put into blenders to me. that said these 4 are arguably the guys i do everything for despite their questionable life choices so here we go:

first up we start strong with genji shimada but specifically his blackwatch skin. way back when the world was kinder, i was a hanzo girlie. but when blackwatch event dropped and little shit brother came up looking like sasuke, complete with the glowing red eyes? what am i, stupid? im not immune to edgy guy look cool propaganda. sold.

next. sabal far cry 4. religious zealot. dadfucker 3000. heavily implied to not mind child marriages cus it's tradition. all the red flags. but he smiled at me one (1) time and i kinda let it slide. that's on me 😔✋

anders DA2! my beautiful princess with a disorder. holds the title for the world's best emotional blackmailer. bombed a church and a bunch of innocent people to kickstart a war just cus he's sick of the status quo. babygirl you are insane and i unfortunately will stand by you.

and last we got lucanis. im not here to argue about the interviews saying he's the character who went through the most changes before the game got shipped. or how i was robbed of a better romance that was planned and we could've see in the behind the scenes. or how veilguard is as a game. that's for another post. we're here to get down to brass tracks: he's objectively hot and he's possessed and that's all it takes for me. see anders above for further qualifications.

also im cheating and putting in an additional 4 more fictional women i like to redeem myself after subjecting yall to the clusterfuck above. competent at their job MVP women:

tagged by @illitten (tysm for the tag! always love being tagged uwu) with rules being put first 10 shuffled songs on your on repeat playlist. here's mine:

sickening - evan fong (actually there were more than one song from his album here but i cut it to just the first one that showed up. i like his album!)

Did I Die? - The Strumbellas

Dead of Night - Jfarrari

Crying On Vacation - Roe Kapara

Lovers - Kiltro

Nobody's Son - Sabrina Carpenter (i think this is my favorite song from miss carpenter, something about it rly scratches a certain itch. i like to sing along to the aaaaAAAHHHHHHH!!! backing vocals in the second verse when she realized her ex discovered self control)

California Dreamin' - The Mamas & The Papas

Too Late - Big Spring

My Iron Lung - Radiohead

Radio - Bershy (i am not immune to Dispatch's good choice in music.)

i only got into cyberpunk recently so yeah, idk... something something the themes of it all. these kids raised in this terrible, horrible, no good place that tries to beat the empathy out of you, and yet they still come out of it with kindness, and silliness, and love in their heart... idk i just think thats beautiful <3 and wanted to thank you for sharing your little guy with us <3 have a good one!

hell yea another streetkid v enthusiast. and yes i agree wholeheartedly on the whole streetkids getting the short end of the stick and still being silly little guys!! streetkids my beloved 😭🙏 if u want pls text me more and share about your valerie so they can have playdates i’ve used the default fem v in the meantime cus streetkids gotta stick together like so

thank you!! (yes it is!)

sending one of these to little v—christ alive i didn't think this png was so big help?!!!!!???

wahhh thank you anon 😭😭😭 it's always so humbling to hear people have blorbo thoughts over little v and his adventures around Night City! (also sidenote i am CRYING over the fact that you read all (ALL??!?!) of my cyberpee fics waaahhh tysm!!) these are some ol' doodles i never posted of him that i hope could show my thanks \(￣︶￣*\))

@greatmoldone

omg hi! yeah that's totally valid haha, i always call the cutting and editing process 'killing my darlings' and boy does those darlings sometimes fight back :') i put all of my wips and thrown ones into a 'throw pile' tab in the docs, so i could read through them and reuse them for future fics tho. never delete anything #neverdeleteanything (the whole blood magic torture scene with rookanis was actually a reworked baldur's gate 3 wip with my tav and shadowheart if you can believe it)

i knew there was no way for my rook to tell the others about the war, so the only way for lucanis to know would be through some dream/mind entering hence the whole cursed book concept. but even then as i wrote it all out, i still didn't vibe with the idea of lucanis actually knowing, so i scrapped it. also didn't help that i eventually followed the canon that 'Rook' was a newer nickname by Varric, and not when he had even back in the mourn watch, so i'd have to refer to him with his real name, which i avoided because doing it in the middle of a series where i committed to just calling him rook felt really off. here's a few snippets from it

or here if you'd like to read the whole thing (it's not actually the whole thing because i didn't exactly finish the whole plot and ended it properly because i decided to cut it before i finished lmao) ty so much for letting me yap ahhh i feel like im on a ted talk rn or at least pepe silvia. have a good day
