They're not gonna change the world or nothing but they are going to make a lot of enemies along the way regardless.

Write how your OC would react to spontaneously seeing their parents

so the bunch of pictures is largely for reference purposes when writing but I did take one last group photo of the four main Girls

it sucks that my PC is back to crapping out making me give up on playing games but the trade off has been that I am actually making progress on the prologue for the 2077 WIP

[byberbunk2069]

maybe this friday or tonight I'm gonna do something unpleasant and switch the PC back on and risk experiencing another BSOD just to get a bunch of pictures done before finally putting it all away

The POV today is you're from some hotshot gang that has heavy corporate backing so you think nothing is going to happen when you and your chooms start trouble with a crack team that raided Arasaka's Night City HQ last year.

Bodycount Lottery should have been one of the ways V can make money in Cyberpunk 2077

Thinking about the enhanced eroticism of sensory deprivation for someone who is Always Aware and has top-line implants and what is probably quite literally an active HUD at all times. Your eyes can color correct and sharpen and see in low light. You can hear someone's heartbeat from five feet away. But who needs blindfolds and earplugs when you can simply turn them Off?

Before, after, or inbetween a heated discussion about trust and witholding information.

I just remembered that the bit in Hackers where Crash/Zero Cool asks Acid if she wants to go for a swim was the inspo behind this one

Always can use a proxy. :)

at the end of the day I won't lie I'm arranging the cyberpunk universe to have the most confrontations possible between powerful women. saburo is gonna fuck off back to japan to where he feels safest and most comfortable without a body: in his seat of power.

leaving hanako to look after yorinobu, and as the only person he can really trust, to look after things in NC after the mess yorinobu made. hanako is the one looking for rogue after she narrowly survives assaulting the tower. hanako is the one picking through the ashes of alt's destruction of mikoshi.

hanako is the one still in NC when myers' plane crashes into dogtown. when so mi makes contact with alt. doesn't that sound like fun?

I see a lot of people who seem worried about fucking with canon Too Much and so trying to keep their stories in line with everything that happens the way it happens in the game, and look—there's absolutely nothing wrong with keeping things canonical if you want. There's still plenty to play with, it allows for little tragedies where you twist things but they ultimately go right back to where they started. It means less work thinking up alternatives.

But sometimes you gotta go full indulgence. Pick what speaks to you and change the rest. Move the world to suit you without apologizing ahead of time. For me that's the question what if all the Big Important People were women and also what if it turned out it was more complicated than "woman" for half of them, and then they loomed large not just in the background of the story but front and center and complicated and mean and stressed and sharp as hell. Ten year old me would shit herself in glee watching those previews.
