You're like the only person I know who posts Hitman art I'm not joking when I say I think the fandom would cease to exist without you dude-

im sure there're other artists out there,, 😭 thanks for consuming my art!

[pbmancrane-side]

How could I forget following this up 😭😭

Major shout out to @tholiem-1109 and @awangwardia not only for drawing Hitman, but also making them cool! I always enjoy seeing whatever Hitman art they post ^^

Additional shout out to @cartoonishly and @lone-pylon for their Hitman animations/animatic! Bc of those, I started to make animations/animatics of Hitman (hopefully I get to make cool/more silly ones as well!) Was always hesitant to post animations, but these two rly helped me animate :D

Also special shout out to @tthryrys for their superb media analysis! I dont always do analysis of characters, but I love reading stuff that aligns with how I've interpreted the characters ^^

Im sure there are others out there that make hitman fanart/content/analysis as well, i hope the fandom continues to thrive even if it's small :D

it's always been so sad to me just how many people dislike the 47diana pairing as a whole (idrc about the aroace headcanon, hes ace to me)

i tend to notice that a lot of the people who engage with them as a romantic pair are queer, despite the ship being a hetero pair (hetgem tho), while most straight fans either selfship or think they're too toxic ig ? PS straight men in the fandom are simply openly sexist and will dislike diana no matter what she does.

so here's my thoughts and why i think it's an attractive ship, as a queer person :

the pairing does a great job at many different things, including reversing misogynistic behaviour (towards a more matriarchal hierarchy), involving a sexually deviant male character (47 being asexual, not very common is M/F media) thus striping them of heteronormative / degrading sexual behaviour, also since 47's integrity and body autonomy is tightly controlled by diana BUT eventually she lets him be on the same level - it shows there's growth and utter respect towards each other.

TLDR: it's a "safe" ship even from a non-hetero perspective

misadventures of a spy and an assassin (pretend theyre in sapienza)

[reblogwardia]

One of the cool details I noticed when playing Patient Zero in WOA is that in The Author mission there is a book laying on the table at the church and it has an inscription dedicated to a woman named Diana.

"Diana, I hope this doesn't end up on eBay! Black"

Hmmm, I wonder who this Diana may be... Hmmmmmmmmmm........

And after completing the mission, you can see a book on a table inside the plane 47 is in.

It would be so funny if it was the same book that Black signed. "Oh yeah, I brought you a novel our target wrote and even asked to get it inscripted. Garroted him right after." As if it was a souvenir or something LOL. Pretty creepy but hey, that's IOI's sense of humor (it did made me laugh).

The same book can also appear in your safehouse's living room if you choose a specific coach area theme (but I didin't take the screenshot of that). So this book may not necessarily be for Diana, maybe 47 likes Twillight-like literature (catching up with his teenage years), maybe I just made a silly corelation and these are two seperate books/an easter egg that has no deeper meaning (or maybe she visits the safehouse in person... I wish).

UwU what's this? Diana doodle with a side of 18k-word-oneshot? And its 47Dia?

blood, sweat, and tears (take my last dance too) - Naho1109 - Hitman (Video Games) [Archive of Our Own]

Summary:

“Tell me, 47… have you ever heard the rumors?” He looked up. Her expression remained composed, perfectly appropriate for a woman enjoying dinner with her husband. Yet there was something faintly playful in her eyes now—something that did not belong to the professional tone of a briefing they usually did. “The ones circulating about us.”

your artstyle is so edible

[burntbrownsugar]

Ether-brand neurotoxin. Transfers by touch.

Scrolling through reddit today because I accidentally stumbled across a post tallying up all the James Bond references in Hitman, and I hate that the only reason these people seem to despise Absolution (besides the gameplay) is because they want 47 to remain this archetypal gritty villain with the stereotypical Cold War-era backstory, and not someone who's capable of saving lives and, more importantly, wants to save lives. Oh so we're just gonna ignore the tiny tidbits of him yearning to have a normal life, him having Diana as his moral compass, the trauma he carries from his past with the asylum doctors, and how he sees echoes of his younger self in Victoria? Oh okay so let's just flatten him back into an emotionless weapon, exactly the way everyone in-universe has always treated him. I know yall redditors have very low media literacy but i seriously didnt expect yall to skip the entirety of WOA.

"B-b-b-but it wouldnt make sense for 47 to get beaten up by Sanchez, or being electrocuted by Skurky--" okay???? In the end, he is STILL human. He's incredibly intelligent, meticulous, and fully capable of planning several steps ahead, yes, but none of that makes him immune to other people's smart plays. This man was jabbed by Diana in BM, who, again, in WOA, walked straight into that olive grove to meet Diana without noticing the enemies lying in wait around him, and while yes you may argue that it is only because he lowers his guard around Diana, but 47 CAN make mistakes because of emotional attachments. He's not some kind of untouchable machine yall make him out to be. He's a trained assassin but he is STILL a human. If the idea of vulnerability "ruins" his character then yall completely missed the entire tragedy of his character.

damnation literally talks about how he deals with depression and his substance abuse AND THEN we have absolution which discusses him dealing with his identity and how he copes with it by self-harming ALL THE WHILE wanting to do something about Victoria--as he wants to spare her the life he has. The game TALKS about he having agency over what he considers his identity as a cloned assassin, about him being able to do something about it and preventing it from happening, not just his identity as a cloned assassin alone. Yall failed to look pass his character as a clone and hence, failed to see him as human and it's pathetic as fuck

[reblogwardia]

I 100% agree with your statement.

This one side of Hitman fanboys want 47 to be a constantly cold, sociopathic killer machine. They don't care about his character developement, they don't want him to be human. All they do is post corny phonk edits on TikTok and nag. Most of them don't give a single crap about the lore of Hitman and yet speak about it confidently and think that they know the characters better than anyone, despite skipping all the cutscenes and dialouge when playing. (Also - they don't give a single fuck about Diana's role in the story and in 47's life. I once saw a comment stating that Agent Smith (no hate to him, he's cool) is the closest thing 47 has to a friend, which is simply not true. Devs and voice actors themselves said it several times that this person is Diana!)

Yes, Absolution's story line isn't the best one to exist, but it doesn't mean it has no potencial. I like to believe that 47 got caught in Dexter's and Skurky's traps because he was emotionally (and even with his durability and stamina – physically) exhausted: focused on surviving on his own, the ICA being after him, guilt of "killing" Diana, and keeping the promise to look out for Victoria. In this state, it is normal for him to not perform his best and have some slip-ups.

As you said here, and quoting Diana - "no one is untouchable". It aplies to 47 as well. He is the best in the world, but he is still human.

I relate to the fact how alienated 47 feels - like he doesn't belong in this world - so it really hurts to see him being so frequently mischaracterised by his own fans.

And I bet that those guys are the same people who, for example, are crying in the comments under the trailer of God Of War Laufey that they won't play as Kratos but as "some middle aged mom" (did they play the previous games with their eyes closed or what...?).

One day I'll sit my ass down and write a complaint about this fandom because I swear, they make me foam at the mouth. I plan on reading both Hitman novels and giving my feedback. I found one of them online for free, but it's a translation to my native language, so I don't know how well it holds.

[tholiem-1109]

i hate it when apparently, to these people, his capability to hold himself in a gun fight is the only virtue that makes him relevant—as a man, a human, to these so called “fans”. It’s as if none of his feelings even matter.

[reblogwardia]

True! Men don't care about other men and their mental wellbeing, and yet bitch and moan about "men's lonliness epidemic" etc. Guys, help your brothers out!

They repeat toxic behaviours and look out for them in characters. They idolise this toxicity and gain nothing from it.

All they see in 47 is a weapon, just like Providence did.
