PrinceDenjer - Faerie Xweetok

A gift to my favorite brother @wizardbong69 featuring their Neopet Prince Denjer

So I have adored Cereza and The Lost Demon a lot more than I thought I would. But I was watching a review video on the game and one of the points they brought up was how the game makes Bayonetta "A more three dimensional character". While I agree with this, it got me thinking about how a lot of the more subtle and deeper aspects of Bayonetta's character are overlooked, even by people who like her.

There's always been more to her than "Dommy Mummy step on me please"tm who kills supernatural forces with style. Don't get me wrong that's still a huge part of her but she does have other aspects of her.

She is very protective and nurturing like we see in the first game with how she protects and cares for her younger self. In Bayonetta 2 when Loki is struggling with his memories she mentors him and gives advice. As much as she taunts him she is still trying to in her own round about way give him good advice.

She is a fiercely loyal friend who literally went to Hell and back for Jeanne. Regardless of whatever wrong direction platinum themselves take their relationship there can be no doubt Bayonetta loves and cares for her best friend. So much so that one of the only times we've seen her drop her confidence and actually panic is when she thought she was too late to save Jeanne.

Her relationship with her parents is actually very tragic. She was separated from her mother at a young age, and even came upon her mother's dead body during the witch hunts. Then she killed her own father thinking he was an evil bastard who used her and her mother. Only to then learn, no actually he did love her and her mother so much he was willing to destroy himself and his reputation to protect them.

Even her relationships with her mundane friends have depth to them. She goes from teasing Luka with her pet name to showing him she recognizes him as a person she respects by addressing him by name. Even the way she drags Enzo everywhere illustrates she has a weird affection for the little gremlin man.

Bayonetta 3's Bayonetta feels so much hollower by comparison because they made the stupid decision to isolate her for the vast majority of it. Bayonetta depth comes out in her relationships to both friend and foe alike.

Found Demon

Sometimes the only family you need is a demon you accidentally bound to your plush during a perilous journey into the woods. I recently played through all of Cereza and the Lost Demon and I gotta say, that game was WAY better than I expected, it's a dang shame that no one talks about it. If any Bayonetta fan out there hasn't given it a chance, I'd really recommend it! Probably one of the best games I've played this year, to be honest! I won't spoil anything about it, of course.

Since Cereza and the Lost Demon is set to be released on my birthday, I wanna do Bayo with the cat outfit to celebrate both events, and was lucky to find some cute shades to go with the cosplay.
