Maybe I’m confused or it’s a plot hole but what about Lykon who died in front of Andy? That negates the whole Nile being a destroyer thing.

5 and 13 for Ryder from the dark oc asks :3

5. What is your OC's moral code?

Ryder is driven by the loyalty to others he loves and himself, which means if an action is in his interest or in the best interest of those he is most loyal to, he will do it. So it it likely to happen that Ryder will do what Vijay suggests or at least he tries (depending on how much influence Beast has on him in the situation). He resists any form of authority that restricts his autonomy and may act in his own interest without being bound by a strict moral code (It hasn't always been like that tho as he hasn't done that for a very long time when still in his Corpo life). His beliefs center around a desire for independence and a reluctance to be constrained by societal norms. Ryder often finds himself indifferent to moral dilemmas, and focuses on his own desires and goals. He may act impulsively and unpredictably, making decisions based on personal gain rather than a commitment to good or evil. His actions are primarily motivated by self-interest, and he may not hesitate to exploit opportunities for personal advantage. In situations where taking a life serves his interests or self-preservation, Ryder may resort to violence. He only follows authorities if he benefits from it. He won't harm innocents (unless Beast has control – if that happens and he definitely will know it afterwards, he will hate himself for it). But he's also willing to do bad things and break the law if he can get away with it. He doesn't help people who want to restrict the freedom of the individual. SO basicalyl every Corpo will have his disgust.

13. Who does your OC hate the most?

Ryder absolutely hates his own family. There aren't words to describe what he feels about them especially his father. Even the word "hate" cannot stand up for that anymore. Also basically every other corpo tied to his family as well as everyone else who thinks the same way as them. Besides hat? Ryder absolutely hates to be in street traffic jam. He already disliked it as a kid when the car got stuck on the 'Autobahn' for 30min max. That is also a reason why he wanted to learn to fly. Thankfully he was able to learn it when the family moved to Night City. So when Ry has to take his car, he informs beforhand if the way is clear. If not he takes his AV to prevent falling into some unhealthy angry mood. If he gets stuck in an 1h+ traffic jam he will yell in the car, hit the horn constantly and flip out over the inefficence of others around him. Because mostly likely the traffic is only bc of some car accident where everyone wants to drive by slowly so they could see what happened starting to slow everything or neglecting the 'zipper merge' tactic if one or more carlanes are temporarly closed. Ryder will never understand why people are so keen to watch an accident like its a triple a movie. They should be lucky they aren't in the situation themselves and just fuCKING DRIVE! Another thing he absolutely despises: cheese.

i honestly found the lovers quarrel SO unrealistic. you're telling me nicky WOULDN'T know that the second joe calmed down he'd be going to see booker???

someone tell me if this is a controversial take, but was… that a fight? i heard that there was one and when i watched i was like ‘oh that’s it?’

i agree that nicky didn’t seem surprised! just disappointed, because that’s what they AGREED and [dusting off my old nicky + catholicism headcanons] i think that’s a big deal to him!! they promised each other!!!! they agreed on a rule (no more booker for 100 years) and joe broke it!! and i also think nicky is still mad at booker even if joe isn’t. and there’s kind of this additional layer of hurt when everyone else stops being mad at the person you all were mad at. and you’re like oh so now i’m the unreasonable one?? i thought we all agreed??

and equally joe knew this would hurt nicky but god damn it he loves booker too, that’s his little brother, he can’t stand that he was hurting so much and they didn’t realize, and he has to try. even if it’s just door dashing groceries. the real question to me is did joe genuinely think nicky wouldn’t be able to tell when he was lying and i think the answer is yes 😭 which is such an endearing piece of characterization to me… joe was really i have the perfect plan! i’m gonna fix booker and nicky’s not gonna know and everything is going to be okay. ooh a lemon.

i guess something i did like was: when joe was being secretive i was worried it was going to be a whole Thing, where nicky would just be sad/quietly betrayed/ worried joe was mad at him (stupid) and THAT would be the thing that drove a wedge between them and instead nicky was like fuck that i know exactly what you’re doing and we are going to Communicate about it right now. that’s 1000 years of being in a relationship right there baby!

Me, in 2020: Thought id never be out of a dead end retail job, daily terror, being pretty sure i was a cis-woman, the indescribable joy of the old guard

Me, in 2025: working for a law firm (semi-happily), still having daily terror, DEFINITELY not a cis-woman (they/she, wooooopppp), the indescribable joy of impending old guard 2

The more things change etc

awww i love this!!!!!! congrats on the gender and job!! (and sorry about the legal field)

so many things have happened to me since 2020 that i feel like i’ve become a fully different person. you know how they say your skin cells replace themselves every 7 years or whatever? that, but spiritually. buuuut i will always love a fun summer action flick with Ladies Fighting
