haha it's all good!! here's moz and then gwen :)

you had a thing awhile back about submitting pictures of ourselves so i wanted to share this picture of my butch and I! I’m on the left and he’s on the right (I did get his consent to share it). He helps me feel great in my trans woman self.

WOOF okay opened pandora's box here, but also I have NO clue if I'll be able to really... Word it properly? She is sort of just The character that my brain decided to latch onto. May be simple, just be that she's new and therefore unique! But at the same time, I think it's because we see her chance at happiness get ruined. For most of the hero shrines in dd2 (that I have played), we see this constant fall: Paracelsus plays god, Audrey robs her first grave, Dismas robs the carriage, but the story doesn't (as far as I know!) really frame them as being on the... Up. It's this constant downward spiral. Things are getting worse and worse for them.

But, fittingly enough, Bonnie finds that glimmer of hope. She runs away from Saint Martha's, and she finds happiness! She's taken in, she's adopted! She finds new parents! It is very explicit: She is happy and things are looking up.

And then she ruins that. She, by her own hands, kills the people who took her in, and now she is haunted by it. All her trinkets weaken her against Gaunt enemies, where you can find the Woodsman, where everything points to that being her dad, the kindly man that took her in, who she killed. Fell the Tree, Carve the Toy, Protect the Child.

What's the worst is how close she was to happiness, unlike... A lot of the rest of the cast. She was so close to it. But she, like everybody else, ruined it by her own hands. And now here she is. There's no heroic background to her. She doesn't know the ancestor. She doesn't have experience fighting off these eldritch abominations that spew forth from the mountain. But she's there. She's fighting anyways.

MANY months ago, I had a run with a Sunny Disposition Runaway. That team, to this day, has been my absolute favorite, but part of the reason I like her so much is because of that one Runaway. Back when act-outs were a thing, Bonnie would consistently take hits for other people, even when they were really fine, and multiple times she had destressed people down to a manageable level. Absolute mvp. So, we head up to the Denial boss fight, and... She's the first one to die. Stuck with me, having the most positive character on that team be the first one to die. Of course, that's just my brain being silly, but it's stuck with me, and remains part of how I write Bonnie to this day.

BOTH both both is good

Nox / Ilya

5. What activities do they enjoy together?

They like watching documentaries together and learning new things together when they’re having a night in, curled up on the couch.

Ilya especially likes going dancing with Nox, because the pounding bass and the hot, humid air in a club makes him feel almost alive again. The vibrations of the music create the ghost of a pulse flowing through him and, with Nox laughing in his arms, he feels closer to normal than he has in forever.

13. Name something they would never do for the other person.

They could never hurt each other on purpose. They could never betray each other for the greater good or give up the other to save someone else - they’re both too selfish for that ;w;

20. What is a promise they have made to each other?

Nox promises never to leave him again, and never to hurt him the way Carter hurt him. She promises that he’ll always be safe with her, no matter what happens. She’ll never lay a hand on him without permission, and his comfort and safety are her priority.

Ilya promises to always come home to her. She’s always afraid when he has to leave that he won’t come back, even though she left him before, she has abandonment issues from being left behind so many times in her human life by so many people. Her own family didn’t even want her - but he does. He’s here to stay and, as long as she wants him there, he’ll be there.

26. What are their favorite parts about physical affection/sex?

They just really love being together and being close to each other. There’s something almost divine in making each other feel that good and it’s really almost a spiritual thing for the both of them whenever they ~make love~.

Take Me To Church plays in the distance

Penny / Qadir

5. What activities do they enjoy together?

Qadir isn’t really the type to go dancing or partying, really, so the things they do together are more - work related. Penny likes helping him out on his Sheriff duties, which he begrudgingly accepts because she is charming and she is actually good at figuring things out and finding people.

There’s just something electric in the air when they get to fight together, or threaten troublemakers together. Power Couple right there.

13. Name something they would never do for the other person. 

As much as we all might wish it, Qadir won’t leave his post for her no matter how much he wants to. She’s also not sure he would let her go if she ever broke Camarilla law so outrageously that a blood hunt got called on her or something - which she can respect, honestly. Somehow, she wouldn’t be mad if she met her final death at his hands.

Penny won’t give up her freedom for him. She won’t leash herself to the Camarilla just to stay with him, if it ever came to that. She likes New York, and she doesn’t mind to help keep the peace and keep the Masquerade in tact, but she would never pledge herself to the Camarilla and only the Camarilla.

20. What is a promise they have made to each other?

Penny promises not to cause too much trouble ;3c

Qadir promises to give her a chance to prove she’s not a menace to society.

26. What are their favorite parts about physical affection/sex?

Penny - Qadir isn’t really the type of man to show affection easily, so Penny’s favorite thing is absolutely when he lets his walls down enough to be affectionate with her. The soft brushing of her hair behind her ear, dragging his knuckles down her cheek - it’s always so much more gentle than she expects it to be, after everything. It’s wonderful.

OOOHH My favorites?? yes theres a few that I like as characters but arent that good gameplay wise or vice versa

I LOVE LOVE LOOOVE the crusader and the highwayman because theyre reynauld and dismas and theyre perfect, and the crusader is pretty versatile (the highwayman does a lot of damage too, riposte into point blank shot = great time)

I will do anything for the flagellant but hes useless against anything that resists bleeds and pretty imobile asdfhsuf 

I love the bounty hunter’s design but he doesnt shine too much for me except for some boss fights

I like most of the characters in this game to be fair
