#drayster talk

Ah well shit I already said some of the things I was gonna mention about him in my reblog of your post but yk what I can just say them again.

• Favorite Thing: ugghhh I have to choose just oneeee... okay so. Ugh. Okay. This is really really hard yknow. Really just.. the complexity, yknow? I think she serves really well as a foil for Kieran, in ways that anyone reading this post has probably already heard about. They're just so different and exactly the same at once. Something really interesting that I haven't really talked about is how Kieran's mental health issues are like. Really apparent. He behaves in a way where it's really easy for someone to realize he's not in the best place mentally. Meanwhile, Drayton's issues are practically invisible. Everyone around her just assumes she's being lazy or a slob and the way the game makes those issues coexist is ougggggghhhhh.... also. Also he's just really cute have you seen him??? He's so endearing to look at...

• Least Favorite Thing: I think her model does her design zero justice. The colors are off, there's missing details and their hair is messed up cuz somehow Game Freak wasn't able to pull it off in 3D. The messed up colors especially bother me when it comes to her skin tone like I KNOW it isn't much of a difference but at least in my perspective his model is notably white while his render is more of a tan.. idk. The only good part about it is how lifeless her eyes look lol.

• Favorite Line: Whoof okay this one. This one is hard umm.. okay I really can't help myself I'll have to choose like 2 or 3 lines. Or 5.

"Man, I love chairs. Don't you love chairs? What lifesavers. I don't get why everyone doesn't just sit all the time. Standing up's tiring work!"

"I've got something for you, bud. A little token of my everlasting gratitude. Here—don't mind the dust! I really oughta clean my closet. (Hands the player the Black/Gold Tracksuit) Now we can be twinsies! Heheh."

"Awww, c'monnn. I'm so sluggish... so tired... so sleepy..."

(This one's from Masters lol) "Ughhh, I'm too lazy to eat a proper lunch today... Why don't we just grab something soft and avoid all that chewing?"

(And... this one's the Spanish version of him apologizing for kind of manipulating the player) "¡Acepta mi disculpa, porfa! ¡Te lo pido de rod... de codos sobre la mesa!"

Translation: "Please accept my apology! I'm begging on my kn... on my elbows over the table!"

• brOTP: Kieran, obviously. Iris is one of my faves to pair up with him too. Ernmm I don't really think about these two's relationship with eachother much but I do think about them in relation to eachother often. If you get what I mean. But Drayton and Lacey too.

• OTP: auhgggghh this one's kinda more of a platonic relationship too but it's the best I've got for this section so... Penny.

• nOTP: Romantic anyone under 15 (in general cuz in my hcs it's literally illegal for him to be with anyone in the BBL. But to be specific this is Kieran, Crispin and maybe Lacey depends on how I'm feeling) and the horribly heteronormative version of Mintteashipping.

• Random Headcanon: I think this is a hc most people share but still: he is veryyyy physically affectionate. He'd be pretty clingy if he had a relationship in which they felt comfortable being close to another person. Also they have back pain cuz of their bad posture.

• Unpopular Opinion: Everyone already knows this. SHE SHOULD'VE BEEN FAATTTTTT.

• Lagtrain by Inabakumori (funnily enough I discovered this song from a Kieran animatic lol)

•Favorite Picture(s):

You know it had to be more than one. As a bonus, an underappreciated piece of official art, their card sleeve art:
