I know that I never shut up about Joey but I don't think she's important just because I love her.

I think she's important because she is actually important.

Joey Hudson is your coworker and the player's assigned partner, and is therefore narratively important to the player's character. But she isn't just the emotional tether that gets the player to go after John Seed.

She's also the reason the player was able to escape the gate that first time. The moment John had to focus on her and wheel her out of the way, the Deputy was free to make a break for it.

She's the reason why everyone that was captive in the gate was able to come home. Not only was it her idea to free them, she also operated the bunker's security systems to let everyone out. After being trapped in the Gate for so long she gained a rough knowledge of its layout. And she used that knowledge along with feed from the security cameras to direct the Deputy so they knew where to go and what to shoot at.

At the end of the game, if you choose to walk away, she makes you question if you've really made the right choice before an ambiguous end. If you choose to stay and fight, she helps you take down the Father. When the Collapse comes she tells you to keep your eyes on the road and warns you about the same falling tree that ended up killing her, Whitehorse, and Staci.

If she had been a gun for hire, people would have gotten more attached to her. If she had been allowed to speak, people would have gotten more attached to her. But unfortunately that didn't happen. You can get a semblance of what GFH Hudson would have been like on PC with mods, but of course that isn't the same and not everyone has access to that.

It's one thing to not like a character or to not vibe with them. I get that not everyone is going to like her. A lot of people don't feel like they know her well enough to have anything other than a cookie cutter opinion of her, and I completely understand why that is.

But I wish people would stop downplaying her importance in the story and actually give her a chance.

If they did, I'm sure they would be able to see what a tenacious and brave person she is. That she's just as deserving of happy endings and attention as anyone else.

Adding on!

I will never recover from the fact that Rook is Danny’s replacement. Danny. As in Joey’s partner who was killed. Who Joey still feels guilt over. Joey walked into the office one day and saw some probie and was told that they were her new partner.

Joey is so important to the story and to rook and it makes me really sad that the most acknowledgment she gets in the fandom is people shipping her with her abuser/captor.

She should have been a GFH and Ubi should have done more to expand her character!

I honestly think she should have been the one to kill John. Not Rook, not Nic, JOEY FUCKING HUDSON!!!

In this house (blog) we love and respect Deputy Joey Hudson!!

It's a good thing that you were there to help Bhadra when she was in trouble. Perhaps you are her guardian now, eh? I saw you coming out of that burning building with Bhadra in your arms. You saved her life. You are a hero, Ajay. Bhadra is very fortunate to have a saviour in you. She has a kindness that is rare in the youth these days and you should protect her. She's merely a girl but there is something special about her.

I've been talking with @cheshire-cat-talks and @iphia25, about my Animal Crossing house for Joey, so I figured I'd share it here too 💘

This is pretty close to my actual headcanons for her house!

Starting with her kitchen, Joey uses her rice cooker religiously. A lot of her utensils were randomly acquired over the years and she has a few things that really ought to be replaced, but she would rather eat burnt toast than buy a new toaster.

Since she lives alone sometimes the dishes pile up or empty beer bottles sit on the coffee table for too long, but too much clutter gets on Joey's nerves. Her living room/dining room is a little old school, but that's just how she likes it. The walls are decorated with photos of friends and family, a good 'ol singing bass, and her framed certificate from the police academy.

A self-sufficient gal like Joey needs a lot of storage! Her garage is great for small home improvement projects, and she has everything she needs to do her own car repairs. Her mountain bike, fishing equipment, and camping gear lives here.

Mornings can be rough, but Joey's got a cozy bathroom with a nice shower to get her going.

It's rare to catch her with makeup on, but when she does wear it she pulls out the makeup bag she stole from Mary May back in middle school. The zipper catches and some of her makeup is definitely expired, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Joey's bedroom is a bit of a relic. Very 1970's with the wood paneling and wallpaper, just like the rest of the house.

Souvenirs from travels with her best friend Deputy Rhodey Gomez (@dadtron-3000) line the shelves. Posters from her youth hang off of walls on yellowed tape. She also has a small collection of plushies from local fairs and festivals, solely because she's absolutely cracked at carnival games. On Halloween, she often gives those plushies out to trick-or-treaters alongside full-sized candy bars. If any kid is willing to make the trek out to her place, they deserve a REAL reward!

Joey's house is only one story tall with a basement, but that basement contains her pride and joy! Her home gym!

It's probably the most well kept room in the house, full of all the equipment she could ever need to get a great workout in. A wall-mounted TV, an expansive record collection, and posters of hot babes are enough to get her fired up even without the preworkout. But, if she need that or anything else to drink, her mini fridge has her covered.

Less interesting is the standard basement storage and her washer and dryer, but at least it's all organized and out of the way!

A couple of my personal Deputy Joey Hudson Hcs just for fun!

Her parents own a small martial arts gym in Holland Valley, where Joey would start training when she was a teenager. It "closed down "after the cult moved in but they kept training in private.

Joey enjoyed hiking, fishing, archery, etc growing up. She views her fellow deputies as family and is more than willing to share these passions with them and show them the ropes.

Her favorite music is rock and indie but she'll listen to basically anything without being judgemental about it. She also learns acoustic guitar on her free time

She often trains with Grace Armstrong and views her as another mentor

That's about it for now! I'm new to writing HCs but hopefully you guys enjoyed <3

No but seriously. The heralds are well made in terms of 'different personalities and behaviour to elict different kinds of "fear" '. Faith is unpredictable. Do you trust her? What if she is lying? Can't be sure. There is no safety net here. She might be on ur side or just pretend to be and throw you to the wolves. John has a hair-trigger temper. Walk on eggshells or you will set it off. And Jacob seems uncaring and unyielding, as if nothing you do or say can change what he has planned for you.

And that’s exactly a huge part of why I love this game and I agree with what you’re saying!!!

All the villains have a unique personality. They are much more than some two dimensional characters. And the fact that they all have their own reasons to be in this cult beyond “Joseph wants us here”.

Not gonna lie, Faith genuinely confuses me. Is she really a victim? Or does she enjoy everything that happens in Eden’s Gate? With all the evidence we have (FC6 DLC: Collapse and her bossfight) show that her personality isn’t just black and white at all. And I still can’t decide if she’s with then cult because she’s scared of Joseph, or because she really believes what Joseph says. Her manipulation skills are well written imo.

And there’s John. I think he’s also unpredictable as hell. I headcanon he sometimes laughs at stuff that triggers him other times. Like, I think you can’t just exist normally around him and his mood heavily influences the vibes around him. Not to mention he’s there not only because of Joseph, but because he does have these sadistic things and the cult lets him be his sadistic self.

And about Jacob… I agree, too. IMO, he truly doesn’t care about anything. And let’s be real here, he is pretty fucked up with his ideologies and all the things that happened to him. The cult gave him a purpose. Something to do. I agree with you, there’s literally nothing you could do to avoid what he planned for you. That gave him a purpose. To make the Deputy do the trials, and he is aware of that.

All in all, I am actually really enjoying that the writers actually gave them proper characters and personalities and they weren’t just “Joseph’s puppets”. They made awesome and beautifully written characters for their game and I as a player (and I think all of you too) appreciate that.

/sorry if I sounded weird in this answer, I am really tired right now/

/BUT thank you for sending me anon asks, I love reading them and thinking about these!<3/

women of far cry (3-4-5)

theres nothing that makes me want to edit more than when i see women being ignored in favour of their male counterparts who are also often their abusers

[libelelle]

Its so sad when gamers have no interest in a games storyline like broooo the developpers themes and ideas. You dont care about their characters? You dont care about their plot and development? You just want to hit things a lot till they die?
