ain't that a bitch? @i-picked-c - Tumblr Blog

I want y'all to describe your first moments when you played gta V for the fist time , and who used to be your favorite and who's your favorite now

i-picked-c

My first moments were terrible cos I’d never played a game like this and couldn’t even fire the weapons...I got stuck in the prologue for like...three days. I was so sad (I have really shitty coordination)

Then when I got into the open world, I just went about kicking stuff, beating people up and getting Franklin repeatedly killed by gang members and traffic. I made him completely bald and trashy looking as you possibly can with F’s clothing options. Binco here we come.

I took him out driving, expecting parts of the map to be locked like older GTAs. But we went for what seemed like miles around the GOH and I actually got lost in the desert and was legit panicking about not being able to get Franklin home LMAO. I didn’t know how to use the map onscreen, so was using the physical one that came in the box haha.

Franklin got out of the car and I somehow accidentally robbed the desert store...fuck. Then I went outside and the sheriff was firing at him. I got on a pushbike and tried to cycle away but couldn’t control it, drove Franklin up a wall. He fell off backwards and was shot. Then he respawned, still in the desert and I was freaking out, trying to work out where the city was. Then the train killed him. Back to the hospital.

Got the hang of it, thought I was going to like Michael best, because of his house and his attitude. Ended up with an unexpected and disturbing crush on Trevor and spending 60% of the time with him, reading fucking sex fanfics about him. WTF girl.

This makes me sound such a loser, but I’d not this much fun in a long time with any other hobby. GTA V was a euphoric experience for me lol it’s just so cathartic and beautiful.

About that “improvised” scene in GTA V.

A lot of people are claiming that the scene where Trevor trips over the fence and Franklin laughs at him is improvised. However, I have heard Steven Ogg (Trevor) say in more recent interviews that this was not actually true and he sort of lied or exaggerated this claim. There have been other moments in interviews where he says that there was not much physical improvisation because of the technical aspects of performing with motion capture. He mentions that some lines and Trevor mocking people’s accents were improvised, which then became a staple of the character, but this scene is not mentioned by him as an improvised scene. in fact he denies it when asked by a fan. Shawn Fonteno (Franklin) has even said about that scene in particular, that they did a take of that scene and when Trevor got up like, “What are you laughing at,” then Shawn, as Franklin, got back at him tough like, “What do you think I’m laughing at?” and the directors yelled for a cut and told him that he has to act more scared of Trevor instead. So this strongly suggests that this scene was scripted or at least that there were multiple takes of it. If I’m wrong, feel free to post any links to interviews or anything that suggests otherwise, but since I believe it can be established that this scene WAS in fact scripted, I have some deep thoughts on what is going on in this scene and plan to make a post with my analysis.

The Trevor-Franklin bromance doesn’t get the love it deserves

Things I like about Trevor and Franklin’s relationship:

-Trevor, upon meeting Franklin for their first job together, realizes and actually says aloud to Michael that he “seems like a good kid.” Like Michael, he sees the potential in him and even says this to Franklin in a conversation. He calls him a good kid at several points in the game.

-It’s clear that Trevor actually likes Franklin and treats him well pretty much right away, and this is a big deal because Trevor hardly likes anyone right away.

-Not long after their first job, Trevor goes to Franklin’s place literally just to hang out, then accompanies Franklin and Lamar to go see Stretch (because he’s bored? because he wants to feel included?) and then actively prevents them from getting ripped off.

-During their escape from the cops, Trevor suggests that if they get caught, they can “cross the racial lines” and still remain friends in prison.

-Later, when the hillbilly gangsters are after Trevor, Franklin is the first person he calls to for help, and Franklin immediately agrees to go help him.

-When talking to Lamar in the truck about Michael’s “disappearance,” with Franklin asleep in the passenger seat, Trevor suggests they just let Franklin sleep instead of waking him up (I just found this so sweet and adorable for some reason).

-Trevor compliments Franklin’s shooting during one of the main missions.

-Trevor openly tells Franklin that he loves him and he’s proud of him.

-When Trevor finds out that Franklin was arrested for public exposure, he (perhaps jokingly??) asks him if he should take it out on the LSPD representative in the helicopter with him: “You arrested my African American friend for a minor infraction?!” and actually sounds frustrated and threatens him (in his usual way where you can’t really tell if he’s serious or not).

-Trevor calls him homie, in a non-joking manner as well as a joking manner.

-Trevor actually enjoys spending time with Franklin outside of missions and wants to learn more about his backstory.

-Trevor offers to be a mentor to Franklin on multiple occasions.

-The above included gifset^^^

That’s a relief. Good to know it’s a human shepherd.

So I’ve been playing GTA IV lately and I feel that Brucie could become perfectly a Stranger & Freaks side mission character on V, he’s a fucked-up guy high on steroids and obsessed with working out 🤪 I wonder what would be the reaction of Trevor if he met him lol

I would like Trevor to challenge him to a drug-fuelled duel

GTA 5 characters and COVID-19

Michael: wears his mask, doesn’t stay in self-isolation, thinks he’s not likely to catch it. Amanda: gets mad that her fave stores are closed Tracey: gets mad that her makeup is smudged by the mask Jimmy: tells people online that he hopes they get COVID-19 when they kill him in a video game Lamar: wears a bandana as a mask, talks about how he’s been doing it for years as if it’s a trend, posts mask selfies on instagram, constantly sanitizes his hands “just in case” Franklin: obeys social distancing to a T, wears his mask at all times when out of the house, sanitizes everything, only goes out when necessary Lester: never really went out anyway, keeps the house clean, every meal is doordash. Wade: doesnt wear a mask, doesnt really believe the virus is actually happening, thinks its lame he can’t just lick things now (even though he didnt do that before… much) Ron: believes the vaccine will have a tracking chip in it and that the disease was made in a government laboratory for population control Trevor: no mask, god will decide if he dies.

#gtav sort of you know

I dreamed about doing a mission with Michael and we were in scuba suits, going into the Humane Labs tunnel. When we got to the surface, he told me that since getting with me, Trevor smells better now.

I am glad Michael notices and approves.

What the fuck?!

am i the only one who doesn't like gta:o as much? I very much prefer story mode tbh; playing with already established characters allows the player to seek their depths even further? gta:o is just another open world multiplayer a la tes:o and several others; I feel a customizable character is a bit unnecessary—

trevorphilipsstanaccount

I feel the same too, I’d like to try it just for fun (and to play the Trevor contact missions heehee), but I feel GTA Online doesn’t have a clear objective apart of griefing and invest money to acquire fancy vehicles and weapons, but apart of that it lacks of sense to me.

I think I’ve said it before, but eventually if Rockstar decides to remove story mode from the upcoming GTA VI at the expense of online mode (because they find it more profitable), I don’t think I’m buying it, because I need an immersive, amusing story with deep, complex, charismatic characters and smart dialogues which motivates me to play and replay, not only just to buy cool cars, but rather to establish connections and develope empathy with the characters.

aesthetictrevorphilips

I agree with this completely, I play a bit of online but I don’t care for it as much as story mode

fromdusks

I think gtao is as an acquired taste kind of thing

for example I wasn’t really into it and then I started getting really into my online character. giving her a backstory, a name, a personality, etc. I think once you do that it helps you connect to the game more personally

once you do that and start doing heists its really cool to see your online character interact with written story characters such as trevor, ron, lester, agent 14, etc.

there’s some really cool stories/missions that you’re character can be a part of if you just give it the chance!

I personally play on a private solo lobby most of the time so I don’t have to deal with other people, but can do my own thing and maintain my businesses.

if anything, playing it a little here and there will kind of become more fun as you go on. it’s definitely not just about buying new cars or trying destroy others’ cargo. 😂

onceeverythingdies

i can totally see that! I do have a gta:o OC, but I use her mostly for roleplay in the gta world; I am sadly unable to play gta:o atm (or any gta for that matter) so my main relief of content regarding it is videos and streams!

but your point is totally valid!!! now I want to check out your character aaa

trevorphilipsstanaccount

Mmm by reading your thoughts now I want to play GTAO on private solo lobby... I mean, I like the part of creating a character, customize it and do roleplaying by interaction with other characters, but I said that mostly because I know that there are usually a lot of rat kids and bad people who griefs you and camp to kill you every time, and imo that ruins the experience of playing online and makes me not want to play... :( but maybe I’ll give it a chance then...

i-picked-c

I agree about preferring story mode and plot-driven games in general. It feels much warmer and I actually experienced so much more entertainment playing it, with characters able to bump into each other, or hang out and interact, it felt more alive. Not to mention the better graphics. I only started doing online for more Trevor content, but there’s not much apart from one heist and the contact mission cut scenes.

Don’t get me wrong, I have a lot of fun online, doing all the countless different modes, esp with friends; and I love my ridiculous collection of vehicles (plus I made my character into Pat Butcher off Eastenders, just for a laugh, so I had fun customising her to look like a fictional person rather than myself) But Story Mode is more immersive, the world feels more real and happy, you can explore the world without getting griefed.

As mentioned above, solo lobbies are the only way forward unless you want your precious cargo blown up by some child on an oppressor mk2. I have an oppressor, but I come in peace...most of the time...

What I’d kill for is some appearances by Michael, Franklin and Trevor, even if it’s an easter egg where you can pass the characters in the street. I’d like to find Trevor in the desert by his hangar, or in the strip club or just doing something weird.
