Cyberpunk 2077 "companion" + Takemura reactions to a V who systemically crash any cars trying to stop them

This has to be canon for so many different V’s XD

Cyberpunk “Companions” + Takemura react (and try to stop) reckless driver V

Judy: 

At first it's kind of funny to her, stupid but funny. She'll make a joke asking if V has a separate savings of eddies just for all their cars, but she's not expecting a serious reply stating they always crash. What do you mean, always? She checks out Vs car a lot more now, she won't say anything directly but she'll ask questions and make comments on any scraps and dents on Vs car. As they become closer shell ask stating this is a judgement free zone…but do you know how to drive? You can tell her, promise she'll keep it secret. Ah well, no matter the answer she offers to practice with V or drive them, she really is worried for them and they aren't always going to bounce back up for a crash, you're tough V, but you're not that tough. 

Besides, she doesn't want to stay up worrying about her friend when she's no longer in night city..

Kerry: 

He's all about the fast life, at least he thought he was. He's clearly not on the same level as V when it comes to driving, but hey, you can't blame him for not liking the crash part of this. At first it's comical, there's no way V manages to crash any car right?...Right? 

Oh V, you give him a damn heart attack every time and he says so! At one point Kerry hires Delamain or a driver to pick V up, and if they're going the same place he is already there with his own car. No way he's letting V drive when he's with them or not! 

He's not going to lose another friend who thinks they're invincible.

Panam:

Panam assumes every dent of Vs car came from combat, but the more cars she sees banged up the more she starts to think V keeps buying the crappy cars. She does mention this to V, light teasing, offering for V to bring their car over to be fixed with the Aldecaldos. Upon hearing V explain that they just manage to crash any and every car they own she immediately punches their shoulders scolding them. Are you crazy!? Every story a dent represents on Vs car could have been a story she would never hear. She doesn't go out of her way to stop V, but she always tells V to text her when they get to a location so she knows they're still safe. V would understand this comes from a place of worry. 

And there's no way you're ever driving her car again. 

River:

River reads about car crashes all the time, accidents or not. Seeing Vs vehicles always banged up starts to worry him, at first he even wonders if V knows how to drive. He doesn't say too much, a few words out of concern telling them to be careful. Once it gets to a point where he can't listen to the news about a car crash without thinking of V he'll start being more proactive about this. He offers to drive V places a lot, even if he doesn't even need to be there. He'll keep contact with V a lot and he makes sure to point out any new dent or new vehicle to V. He will have a conversation with V, finding it worrying more than anything, he wants V to stay in one piece, and he wants V to want their car to stay in one piece too. 

Takemura:

At first he thought V was purposely buying faulty cars, cars to be disposed of after a mission. He almost thought it smart. Almost. It doesn't take long for him to recognize that the common denominator in car crashes is just V. Out of all the situations you've fought out of with him, this is the hardest one? He would give a lecture, about their safety, others, a lesson on finances, and of course keeping a low profile. He mutters things in Japanese about them, scolding just continues and continues. He knew being around V would be an experience but he certainly didn't expect this. V will find certain cars outside of their apartment, or in rare cases, outside of their location (ex. On a mission) just waiting for V, hired by Takemura so that they do not drive. 

Takemura does worry about V, especially because of the possible injuries or even death V could suffer. He claims his worrying is because their jobs are much bigger than their lives, even so, he is deeply troubled by this. 

BONUS

Johnny Silverhand:

At first he "freaks out", this is his life too damn it! He urges V to ease their foot off the pedal or to watch where they're going constantly. He tells V riding passenger is usually supposed to be a relaxing experience, but when he's in the car with V its got the same stakes as being outnumbered in combat. Any time they crash Johnny is quick to say "I told you so", he's frustrated when V seems to continuously crash, and this comes from a place of worry. At first its for himself, but it soon becomes worry for just V. Youve been a good friend, be a good driver so he doesn't have to loose you too.

BG3 companion reactions to a friendly Githyanki!Tav, who give awkard smiles and creepy staring because not use to this realm's body language

I love this ask cuz I have a tav like this too XD

BG3 companion reactions to a friendly Githyanki!Tav, who give awkward smiles and creepy staring because not use to this realm's body language

Astarion: 

Astarion isn't a stranger to creepy stares and smiles. At first he actually thinks that this friendly Gith is into him, and it makes it easier for him to carry out his plan to seduce Tav. However as time went on, and the party grew bigger, he realized that it wasn't just him this behavior was for, this was just tav. Now he finds it incredibly amusing. He will often make comments, and uses his background as a magistrate to teach Tav certain manners. He will develop the habit to comment on Tavs posture and stares, but never from pure judgement. He helps Tav learn the body language of others, especially so no one ever makes fun of Tav without them realizing. a Tav will have light teasing from him, but Astarion doesn't let others tease Tav too much. 

Gale:

At first Gale is a little frightened. Maybe a lot. He assumes it is some intimidation tactic and keeps his eyes on the Gith. His back isn't turned to them at all. As he notices their special attention to trying to understand the body language of other people he'll pipe up, stating some fact he learned about people's tendencies in certain situations. In a way he calls out Tav on their imitation of others. He feels quite proud of himself having understood Tav's true intentions in their creepy smiles and stares, and now such things are actually quite charming to him. “Imitation is the best flattery” and all, he is more than happy to help Tav understand some body language, and tell them to maybe ease up on intense stares. He doesn't get intimidated by their smile anymore! He actually finds it cute.

Halsin: 

The first few times he smiles and waves, after a while it's just a smile…then it's just a glance every now and then to see if Tav is still staring. He isnt intimidated or scared just..concerned. He approaches Tav about this, making a little comment about their staring and wondering if they needed anything. Upon learning Tav is just trying to seem friendlier he smiles warmly now understanding, and doesn't mind it all. He can do without intense staring and makes a small comment but now he doesn't mind it as much anymore. When he notices Tav staring he will either walk over and start speaking, or urge Tav to speak towhoever they stare at. He does get proud with Tavs progress when they start feeling more comfortable around others. 

Jaheria: 

At first she thinks Tav is teasing her. She does not stand for it and makes a few comments about the staring. To the smiles she will stare…then look away not paying it mind. She doesn't understand why Tav is looking at her like that, but she's been alive for many years, and has seen the growth of young soldiers in her time. One day she has the random comparison of Tavs behavior to that of an awkward young adult and her perspective shifts. She doesn't bring that up or question Tav directly about it, but she makes light comments about stares and how sometimes it's seen as rude. Whenever she sees Tav changing their behavior or smiling for too long she'll remind them to relax, to carry on as themself. During some encounters she may ask if Tav caught onto a habit off whoever they spoke to, for example if they speak to someone who moves around a lot she might explain what she saw in that person was anxiety, and that is why they were moving a lot during conversation. 

Karlach: 

Karlach gives you her biggest smile back and takes your stares and smiles as an opportunity to strike up conversation with you. Sure the stares are creepy, but Karlach's seen a lot. She's also been alone at times, so sometimes she feels as if she sees her younger awkward self in Tav. A lot of her advice on recognizing body language and expressions is mostly based on “trust your gut” and “be yourself!” She's quick to help defend Tav if they're being teased too much, in the sense that you're trying and that's all that matters! If Tav opens up to her about their confusion more, the more likely Karlach is to find conversation with strangers in camps and the city and bring Tav into the conversation hoping it would normalize the smiling and help with the staring. 

Laezel:

Whenever Tav stares in their creepy way trying to be friendly, she stares back, with a look almost like concern. She hasn't really experienced something like this with her kin before, so to see one of her own acting so strange she would often lecture Tav into drinking water, eating, or reporting their health status. She is under the assumption at first that it has something to do with an illness caused by the tadpole. Laezel is also learning about the realms' habits, and in time she connects the dots, understanding that this was Tav's way of trying to fit in with this new culture. She doesn't comment on it much, at one point she may have even copied the smiles and stares Tav gives to the other companions, though that quickly stops. For the most part she doesn't comment and lets Tav do their thing, understanding why, but she does see it as assimilation. 

Minthara:

The first time she lets it slide, she's been staring at some of their companions the way Tav stares at her. The only difference is why. The second time she gets suspicious, and tilts her head staring back, waiting to see who the first to look away will be. To her this is a challenge, even when Tav gives her a creepy smile. She'll take the moment the two of them are alone to question them intensely. Now Minthara is a wise woman, and she'll see the confusion in Tav's body language, and now they're both confused. She explains why she thought Tav's behavior was odd, and seeing that Tav seemed a little disappointed by the reaction of their behavior she'll move on. She doesn't offer much insight or advice, any question about the realms overall social “rules” on whats acceptable and what is not is always answered with what's true in Drow society. Though she makes a comment on how she can't tell if Tav's assimilation is good or bad, at least that is what she considers Tav's behavior to be. 

Shadowheart:

Absolutely not. She's made it obvious her beliefs on the Githyanki in the beginning of the game, and when Tav smiles at her in such a way she at first believes they are mocking her. Of course it doesn't add up after her life has been saved and they were truly friendly or interactive with her. Slowly she starts inviting Tav to sit with her at camp, getting more comfortable and understanding Tav just wants a friend. She makes a comment about having never seen a Githyanki smile the way Tav does, but she likes it, and says just that. 

Wyll: 

Wyll smiles back, as the Blade of the Frontiers he isn't intimidated by a smile…though he gets concerned with the stares. Who wouldn't? He will approach and call them out, not in a rude way but in a curious way like "you're staring again, is everything alright?” Checking in on Tav, and learns very quickly they're just being friendly. He gets curious about their upbringing, and with Tav's permission to ask he will wonder how different their culture is to his. As the son of a Duke he has a lot to teach Tav, if they'll let him. He doesn't mind their stares at all when it comes to him, but is always patient and helpful to answer questions Tav has.

The Outerworlds companion reactions to a Captain fighting with a huge hammer instead of guns

What a fun ask! Tysm I love thinking about The Outer Worlds LOL I havent played 2 yet but its on my radar, once I do ill be able to do reacts for any companions in that game too!

(Note: I have a few more asks and I promise I am getting to them all to the best of my ability)

Now for what you actually came for XD...

The Outerworlds companion reactions to a Captain fighting with a huge hammer instead of guns

Ellie: 

Ellie isn't known to be outwardly judgmental of people's lifestyles, and it's no different when it comes to fighting styles. She has a “whatever gets the job done” mindset, she does comment once or twice finding it amusing to see the Capitan fight with such a large blunt force weapon. She likes seeing it up close, especially when the Captain uses it. She won't admit it to them, but she really does hope they're careful with it.

Felix: 

He thinks you are the COOLEST person ever. If there was ever doubt it is completely erased. It's so unique to see someone handle such a large weapon in the type of combat they face that he sounds a little fan-boyish of how the Captain gets it done. He would probably ask to try it out, not in combat immediately but to practice and get a feel for what it is the Captain likes about it. He definitely brings a tossball to them, if you can handle such a big weapon like this you'd probably be great at tossball is essentially his mindset. 

Maximilian: 

Overheard a mention about tossball and instead of the excited rambling that is Felix, he'd smoothly agree. His preferences have been more technological, precise, scientific, etc, so to see such a large blunt fighting style for the Captain he's a little taken aback. He is probably a little speechless at first, by no means is it the most bizarre thing he's ever seen, it's just a curiosity. He'd bring it up to the captain, as what it is that they like about such a large weapon over more efficent..smaller..and easier to carry weapons but there isn't judgement. He just warns them to be careful often, wouldn't want to pull a muscle or hit your own head by accident now would you? 

Nyoka:

As a hunter and survivalist, her first thought about it isn't about the weapon itself but rather the Captain's form. She's intrigued by their choice, if they are controlled and precise with it she'd want to watch how they train with it, and maybe when they aren't around she'll hold it just to feel what the Captain's working with. She looks forward to going on missions with them, being out on an adventure was already exciting, but now with a Captain as wild as hers it's even funner. 

Parvati: 

At first she doesn't say anything, to be honest she didn't register the huge hammer was for combat but rather that the Capitan was a mechanic like her. It makes her a little anxious and she rambles a little bit about it, one wrong slip and you could really hurt yourself! To the other companions (assuming she's been recruited first) she does speak highly about your control using it once she's warmed up to people and gets talkative. The Captain's certainly unique; she can say that much!

SAM:

The Capitan more often than not finds SAM cleaning the weapon, SAMs comments don't go beyond commenting on the state of the hammer after combat most of the time.

Everyday I wake up and Takemura romance doesnt exist

[videogamecompanionsreact]

People ship Wyll and Davrin and I’m curious how you think they’d react to each other.

Wow! I have never heard of that ship XD

Here is how I would imagine Wyll and Davrin meeting each other and how their relationship *might* look like:

Both are strong, loyal to a cause that depends on protecting people, charming, funny, and intelligent people.

I imagine they would have good chemistry together, and their meeting would be one of polite exchange discovering each others similarities. I could see them raising Assan together lol

Wyll would share his stories the way he does, Davrin would be used to hearing long stories as a Dalish man.

Davrin would teach Wyll about the Wardens history and his adventures with Assan, and Wyll would think of the Wardens as nothing less than noble, and of course he would love Assan.

I mean, who doesnt XD

The calling wouldn't scare Wyll.

I dont imagine Davrin would be fond of Mystra before learning everything about her, even worse when he does find out. Before dating I imagine he would be wary, just like he was with Lucanis and Spite, ready to slice Wyll and/or his patron down. But once learning he quite literally cant just do that, he would use what experience he has to figure out a way to help free Wyll from the pact, friends or more.

In the end I do believe they would be fond of each other! Having a life of loyalty and responsibility, as well as being genuine kind and adventuring souls. Platonic or romantic chemistry would be there, and they would do wonders protecting people.

Thanks for the ask! Thinking about them was so much fun!
