Joey Hudson's Biggest Fan @sledge-in-space - Tumblr Blog

She's been waiting a long time for this.

(My absolute favorite commission from ImZeroAfterDark on Twitter!)

(Alternate facial expression for Deputy Hudson under the cut.)

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!!

#INCREDIBLE ADDITION #💘💘💘#😭😭😭#The fact that she lost Danny and felt guilty about his death is probably a huge contributing factor to how she feels about the Rookie #she scolds Staci for making fun of them at the start of the game #and in the bunker she tries to volunteer herself for actual torture so that her friend can be spared #i made a whole other post about how it sounds like shes trying to say “yes” from behind the duct tape when John asks who wants to go first #he isnt listening to her because he wants the rookie #the only reason she's even there is because John is trying to get a rise out of the player by threatening someone we love #SO WHEN PEOPLE CAN'T EVEN SHOW HER A SEMBLANCE OF RESPECT IT MAKES ME INSANE #Joey cares deeply about her partner and feels that they are her responsibility #it makes me so sad that people would rather just ignore her or forget that shes even there #but if the alternative is shipping her with the waste of code that brutalized her then I'd take that 1000× over #(luckily there aren't very many people who do that in the first place)#(also yeah her tattoo is very very American traditional lol 🤣 I headcanon that it was an 18th birthday present)#Far Cry 5 #Joey Hudson
