#DORIO WHERE

[incubabe]

@triggerwhore [x]

“ dinner? you askin’ me on a date, or tryin’ to butter me up before tellin’ me you’ve eaten another fuckin’ exorcist? ” rebecca squints, suspicious as hell, but there’s a twitch at the corner of her mouth. not a full smile—yet. she kicks her legs off the workbench, wipes some grime off her palm, and eyes riley like she’s half ready to shoot down the idea (but not seriously), half ready to say yes just to see what happens. honestly? she had time. doubt her bro was gonna hit her line—and if he did, it’d be for somethin’ stupid.. maine and dorio was wherever they thought was nice for two edgerunners to go on an anniversary at in a city that's anything but romantic. so no eddies were going to be coming in today.

"Can't I spoil my favorite terror without being reminded of my born-in damnation?"

She doesn't indulge in the tit-for-tat, tempting though it may be to indulge in pettiness. (Exorcisms don't work when you own the body; besides, people survive getting eaten by her. Enjoy it, even.) Instead, she flutters her eyelashes, mock-coquettish, at the career criminal opposite. With the at-home enchantment complete and its payment hot in her pocket, Riley could just go home... but where's the fun in that?

"It's what passes for a beautiful night 'n' if I spend much more'a it cooped up, I might go nuts. Sure, we can call it a date, but if we do, I happen t'know you've got some cute outfits in your closet. I'm not sayin' dress up all the way just for lil' ol' me, but if you don't wear those things, the cybermoths're gonna get 'em."

Hazbin 2077 AU

Basically an AU where Cyberpunk and Hazbin are in the same universe and how the characters would look like if they were sinners.

V: Basically a grey anthropomorphic wolf and if they defeat and kill enough sinners they would most likely be like Alastor.

Jackie Welles: A Minotaur since he was bulked in life and in death. He was mad at first but like what Padre said-he left satisfied.

Johnny: Anthropomorphic goat in reference to the goat tattoo he ordered from that fixer. He still rocks with Kerry.

Adam Smasher: Literally the Dark Lord from Doom Eternal and is Vox’s enforcer. Borged up maniac in life and borged up maniac in death.

Panam: Maybe an anthropomorphic coyote or Jackalope cause she’s a Nomad and Nomad’s stick to the desert most of the time.

Judy: An anthropomorphic rabbit girl. The reason why rabbit cause they’re a symbol of innocence and while Judy was kind and followed the rules, it was all for nothing and she made the workers of Clouds’s lives worse.

Evelyn Parker: I can’t help but imagine she’d look like Catra from She Ra.

River: I’m thinking maybe an anthropomorphic German Shepherd or Bloodhound cause detective.

Kerry: I feel it would be like Mrs. Mayberry as in he looks like himself but just demonic looking and is a huge fan of Fizzaroli.

Song So Mi: Anthropomorphic bird with red eyes and can manipulate technology around her with powers that can give Vox a seizure. She also can summon wings made of rogue AI’s beyond the Blackwall and can create stuff from said rogue AI’s similar to the main character from Infamous Second Sun.

Takemura: I’m thinking perhaps he’s an anthropomorphic cat as a reference to the Bakaneko. Also he probably still has his cyberware.

Rogue: Anthropomorphic fox since she’s clever and cunning. She wasn’t surprised she went to Hell but still continued being a fixer.

Solomon Reed: Anthropomorphic wolf like V or jackal for that matter. Is most likely working for Lucifer now as his eyes when it comes to Hell or is now an assassin for hire.

Alex: Anthropomorphic chameleon and is an actress thanks to Vox but she hates working for him.

Kurt Hansen: Looks similar to Asmodeus or anthropomorphic dragon wearing his old outfit when he died and is a rival arms dealer to Carmilla.

Maine: Maybe looking like his old self and his cyberware but now has gray skin that has ash on it in reference to the explosion. He wasn’t surprised that he went to Hell after going cyber psycho and getting Dorio killed while endangering others.

Rebecca: Anthropomorphic raccoon ecause they tend to be sassy most of the time. She was beyond pissed that she went to Hell.

David: A cheetah since they run very fast in reference to his Sandevistan. Most likely built his pre chromed self or looks like his chromed self.

Pilar: Looks like himself but demonic.

Dorio: Anthropomorphic bear or looks like herself but with gunshot wounds now. Like Maine, she wasn’t surprised that she ended up in Hell.

IN DEFENCE OF CYBERPUNK 2077 AND MIKEPONDSMITH'S CYBERPUNK GAME FRANCHISE:

I feel that the cyberpunk games, particularly the videogame by CD Projekt red, although carrying a different message to the original anti-corporation views on body modification, does not have the anti-cybernetic view a lot of people have conflated with the game's story. If you took the time to play through the game, read the story, and do a bit of inferencing and detective work, you realise there's a lot more nuance to it than what meets the eye.

For starters, cyberpsychosis - the so-called "cybernetics bad" - mechanic that people criticise is far much more nuanced, mysterious, and grey than people give it credit for. Excluding it as a gameplay mechanic, which serves to stop the player from just getting an insane amount of cybernetics and becoming OP, its role in the story, particularly the cyberpsycho missions you undertake with Regina Jones highlights that this idea of "losing humanity when using cybernetics" is at best a general misunderstanding of mental illness and cybernetics and at worst a weaponisation used against the less fortunate of Night City.

When you fight the cyberpsychos, you realise they aren't packing much more chrome than your average miniboss, and investigating the local data and story items highlights a much darker reason. Most of the "cyberpsychos" we encounter, fight, and at times kill all had some degree of challenged lives, from drug addiction to PTSD to societal alienation.

It doesn't take a genius to realise that this isn't some cybernetic-induced insanity, but rather "typical" mental illnesses that happen to be affecting people with high cybernetics.

Furthermore, we see that quote-unquote "cyberpsychos" like Melissa Rory and other MaxTac members were previously classified as cyberpsychos before joining MaxTac, despite having if not more cybernetics.

Further-ermore, the story of the unfortunate David Martinez highlights the truth of cyberpsychosis, or at least one explanation. David, over the course of the show, gets progressively exposed to more and more tragic events. From the loss of his mother to the death of Maine and Dorio, he slowly loses the ones he loves and is brought further and further away from the ones he has left.

By the later half, he has reckless abandon for his own body, indulgently modding his body further. He grows used to murder, and violence, where a younger him would've been terrified. He stops listening to the ones around him, despite their concern, his drive for notoriety and success pulling him further and further away from everyone else.

Ultimately, I think it is this, not the sandevistan, nor the cyberskeleton, but his abandonment of the ones around him and his own health for the sake of achieving his dream and protecting the ones he loves.

It is losing his humanity that makes him cyberpsychotic.

That is why V can so easily use so much chrome, because they keep their connections to everyone they love. They remember Jackie and his sacrifice. They connect to Johnny and his hate for corporations. They love their partner and friends. That's the whole point of Cyberpunk 2077.

It's keeping yourself human in a world that feels less humane every day. It's loving the ones around you despite a seemingly loveless world. It's caring about world that won't care back.

Cyberpsychosis isn't some dumb "more cybernetics more insane" debuff. It's a representation of losing your humanity to a cold inhumane corporate world. It's selling your soul, mind, and body to corporations until you don't care about the machine staring back in the mirror. It's what happens when you don't recognise yourself and don't care for others. It's the insanity of losing your humanity.

TOO MANY PEOPLE TOOK THE DEPICTION OF CYBERPSYCHOSIS AT FACE VALUE IN CP 2077 AND SOME OF Y'ALL NEED TO START READING BETWEEN SOME LINES

why are cyberpunk tabletop things so obsessed with decency and personhood being tied to how many surgeries you haven’t had

What lies beyond the skies and between my eyes

by Darkus_vita This a retelling of the story of Arcane from the second season in which she was able to successfully protect Jinx at the end. However It is Vi that sacrifices herself to protect her sister. Finally Vi was able to protect her sister once and for all so she can live peacefully. Vi then wakes up in a realm called " Aurole" a place where souls can rest. It is a collective heaven where many different people from different universes end up after they die. Vi meets up with such characters such as Iroh from ATLA, Joel from TLOU and even David Martinez from Cyberpunk where she can finally find rest but maybe there is a path back so Vi can make sure her sister is okay or should Vi explore finding peace even if she never said a proper goodbye to Caitlyn? There is a town that is created in Aurole called New Genesis where they all collectively live. They can leave if they want to but they stay together for the community. This multi part series explores Vi in heaven essentially and what her life means and if there is a way to make things right or should things be left as they should be?

Escort///Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Fic/// Ideas (#1?)

David Martinez/Faraday

(Posssessive!Faraday) (Sex Worker!David) (Escort!David) (Feeling about each other will come when they talk about it) (Faraday trying to be soft around David) -These are my own tags whenever I have the strength to write this up and post it on Ao3-

David is a escort/ sex worker, and he's Faraday's most favorite. Then feelings came and stay and they have problems.

I saw Edgerunners when it came out and saw a part in the anime with Faraday, and saw his choice in bodyguards. They were very sexy and got me think about Faraday's choice in men. For some reason David was part of it and the idea went wild. And mixing with a song, it just went wilder.

I never played Cyberpunk 2077 the game (but do plan to play it someday in the future), so I don't know the world very much. Only from the anime. I don't know if i should add some world info to the story and if it makes a difference.

This a AU and doesn't have to do with the original story, only about David and Faraday.

I myself don't know how sex worker life and job works. And it needs a lot of research to be decent and respectable. Mostly that it takes place in Night City Cyberpunk 2077 setting.

These idea are all over the place and have no straight line to where they're going.

Faraday has the realization that he wants David next to him for the rest of his life. He wants David to be his partner, he wants to wake up next to David every morning; for he's in love with David.

David refused to fall in love with Faraday, trying to see him just a client and nothing else, but his growing feelings for him becomes stronger whenever he's with him.

The first night, Faraday paid for David services, he thought the young man was decent looking male, at least he was easy on the eyes for Faraday.

For a few weeks, Faraday would select other young men but they didn't spark anything to him since that night with David. He asks for him again and the feelings came back and they grew. For the time being, Faraday would only ask for David until the feeling goes away. He thinks the emotions is a passing fancy and will soon die once he gets his fill. Until one night, the night that David should be with him, he wasn't there and the feeling of annoyed came.

David work for Dorio. She's has a Brothel? She's a cool boss?(Is that what they are called in the industry)

She cares about her staff and who works for her.

David's Mother will leave the world; I don't know if the same how it went in the original story or something different.

David will leave school or maybe stays in school. (I am more in leave school)

David is good friends with Lucy and Rebecca. They don't judge his job.

Faraday would buy things for David and David doesn't know how to express them. Maybe very childlike?

Faraday loves buying thing for David

I was thinking about this idea and reminded myself that; David in the anime is a young adult of teens (17) and Faraday is like in his 30's(?). If you are okay with Younger Man/ Older Man relationship, yo, you go for it. But if not, then change the age to your comfort level. I was more of thinking of changing Faraday's age to 20's.

"Escort" is by Chase Atlantic. That whole song is how this AU came to be. It such a great song.

[lili0writes]

Please continue with the rest of the crew for the attractive S/O ask

Maine's crew with an attractive s/o

Note: Sorry for taking a lot of time to post! The requests are piling up! (I am happy people like my work that much!) I will be doing my best to finish them ASAP.

Part 1 Part 2

Characters: Lucy, Dorio, Falco

TW: mention of violence, harassment

Dorio

Dorio is chill, she won't rub it in anyone's face that the two of you are together, mostly because almost everyone knows that the two of you are together and they know not to mess around with either of you.

People know well to respect you. Whenever someone tries to get your number it's a person who's new around. People who know or know of Dorio know she will beat their asses if they harass you.

But if things get out of hand, she does intervene. She goes over to you, puts her arm over you and rather calmly explains that you are her's.

And if that doesn't work out she just gives the person bothering you a good ol' smack and that's that.

Afterwards she apologizes to you about the situation, even though she knows it's not her fault.

Lucy

Lucy is jealous and territorial. In her own way of course.

She makes it obvious to not cross her or you. Friend or not she doesn't care. She will have her way one way or another.

She isn't one to just announce that you're together either. People like Maine, Dorio, Kiwi know that, but others? Not so much.

When someone starts flirting with you, she let's it play out. She let's you handle the situation however you want, but she does give the person a nasty glare.

When things take a turn for the worst, and the person gets desperate, where they are pressuring you to give them your number, she's getting pretty pissed.

She usually just brain fries them and they fuck off, but when she gets mad enough she does make an open threat towards the person out of line.

After it's over she let's you be. But she does pay extra close attention to who gets close to you.

Falco

Falco doesn't really leave your side for these situations to happen often. But when they happen, they happen when you get a drink, go to the restroom, etc.

He always has an arm around you, just out of habit. So people usually notice that you two are together, if they don't know you.

When these incidents do happen, he doesn't immediately interfere, but when he sees you getting uncomfortable, he does come to your aid.

He explains to the person that you are with him, and that they need to back off because you're uncomfortable, but a bit more politely.

When that doesn't work, he doesn't threaten them openly, but he does make it clear that they need to leave you be. And that's usually it.

Afterwards he makes you as comfortable as he possibly can.

[oleskyfm]

@gal-vanized maybe so .. maybe so ..... I saved the really annoying stuff for my letterboxd (which it is on despite being a show, not a movie.. whatever!) But basically ... this show is what solidified me in being kinda whatever on Trigger as a housebrand into a hater.

On one hand I'm glad most other people got a lot out of this and had plenty to enjoy. On the other I just do not see what they see.. all the shiny lights and glitz and over the top action does nothing for me. Outside of the novelty w/ "woooow, it looks just like the video game" I don't think this does anything meaningful or brings anything new to the table for a ~cyberpunk~ story - it's a copy of a copy of a copy. An immature, loud, obnoxious slapdash story with paper-thin characters and a plot you've seen a million times before that isn't earned at all, where every woman is either a hot babe to fawn over or a personality void who exists to get killed off to motivate the men. (The amount of times I had people show me that Dorio chick like 'woooow, you like muscular women, isn't she cool!?' and the broad does NOTHING and has NOTHING going on.. get a grip)

'All flash, no fire' is the easy tl;dr. It's too straight. I think the show's take on cyberpsychosis is dumb as hell and completely at odds with how it's established in both the game and the sourcebook. I don't think EVERYTHING needs to be Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex but that show is everything I want in a cyberpunk adventure and this is like cheap candy. This show wasn't made for knuckleheads like me, though.

Also, this clip exists and it makes me deeply embarrassed.

The cyberpunk edgerunners hater has logged in. There are no haters greater than I.

[jacenbren]

Random Cyberpunk: Edgerunners headcanons because I desperately miss my blorbos and was absolutely DEVASTATED by what the show did to them:

Maine tried to set up a swear jar but it never really caught on because every few weeks Rebecca would dump like 500 eddies in the jar at a time with the explanation of “I’m paying my monthly fuck allowance”

Kiwi and Dorio have a girls night every week where they get really drunk while getting mani-pedis and bitch about everything

David and Lucy are both autistic and hate fabric textures (hence the whole “walking around the apartment butt ass naked” thing)

Falco is terrible at cooking in every way conceivable BUT makes a mean grilled cheese sandwich

Rebecca and Pilar both have ADHD

Kiwi doesn’t save people’s names in her phone and has her friends memorized by number and it scares them

David and Rebecca will sometimes just start vocal stimming back and forth

Maine once walked in on the two of them going back and forth saying “beebus borbus” at each other over and over again

Maine and Dorio met when they were both in the army

Pilar has a ridiculous skincare routine

Rebecca once drank an entire container of Pilar’s lotion after he accused her of stealing it

David has sensory issues with carbonation and therefore absolutely DESPISES seltzers/fizzy drinks

He always gives Rebecca fizzy drinks that people buy for him and she gets absolutely wasted because of this

Maine snores insanely loudly. Dorio Hates It. She has banished Maine to the couch many times.

Lucy was a Warrior Cats kid

Maine liked to call his payments to Gloria “child support” even though he is in no way related to David

Pilar cries at those ASPCA commercials

Kiwi refuses to use the wrist strap on the Wii remote and has chucked it through the TV multiple times playing Wii bowling

Dorio adores children in theory but can’t tolerate them for more than 5 minutes

Lucy carries pepper spray and a taser at all times and uses them on people who annoy her

Falco used to wear a fedora but it got stolen and he never fully recovered

Maine wears socks with flip flops

[flxshy]

"Aren't you a ball of sunshine."

The woman comments with an annoyed look on her face. She was never a fan of the ones that just went about life like they were going to die any second and do nothing about it. What was the point of living then?

"He's a runner in my gang choom."

Rebecca informed the other, pushing past him to lead the way. She knew where she was going and it involved Dorio waiting impatiently. Probably shaking the car with her nervous leg bouncing. Either way she needed to get this guy out of here.

Star Walkin'- Cyberpunk Edgerunners

Pairing: David Martinez x Female! childhood best friend! Reader

I'm writing an au where David is alive and he has a childhood best friend who's been there for him since day one where they have mutual feelings for each other.

Childhood best friends to lovers, fluff, brief smut, angst from Gloria's death, mentions of violence and injury etc.

Don't ever say it's over if I'm breathin'

Racin' to the moonlight and I'm speedin'

I'm headed to the stars, ready to go far

I'm star walkin'

David has his childhood best friend, Y/N to lean on whenever everything is going bad due to him dealing with bullies at his school, never having enough money for anything and dealing with an overworked single mother at the same time.

Y/N understands their situation because she's like them, except she doesn't attend school and works with her loving widower father at his auto shop.

Whenever he's with Y/N, he feels at ease knowing that she's here for him, regardless of the circumstances.

Don't ever say it's over if I'm breathin'

Racin' to the moonlight and I'm speedin'

I'm headed to the stars, ready to go far

I'm star walkin'

Whenever Mrs Martinez passed away from a car accident, David got an implant on his body and got expelled from school, he turned to her and her father since he had nobody else left to turn to.

Y/N would help David cope with the loss by hanging out together at their usual hangout place with drinks, music and pizza.

He feels a bit better from it because he needed to temporarily forget about the pain of losing his only family member in his life since he doesn't know anything about his birth father.

When he gets involved with Maine's gang to become an edgerunner to earn money, she worries about him due to the nature of the missions he goes on but is reassured that he will call her when they are over.

On the mission to get high up

I know that I'ma die reachin' for a life that I don't really need at all

Never listened to replies, learned a lesson from the wise

David would miss her during his missions and often would ask Dorio for advice because he has realised that he has truly fallen in love with his one and only childhood best friend.

Dorio is happy to help him because it reminds her of herself who was falling in love with Maine before they got together.

You should never take advice from a n***a that ain't try

They said I wouldn't make it out alive

They told me I would never see the rise

That's why I gotta kill 'em every time (Gotta watch 'em bleed, too)

Whenever he returns from a mission, he is greeted by Y/N and her dad with open arms which made him feel at home, knowing that he has people to come home to.

Y/N has always seen David as a man since puberty and remark on how much he has changed psychically due to the implants he has been getting for his missions.

David does feel bad at times for worrying them due to the injuries he would get but gets them treated since nobody has insurance.

Don't ever say it's over if I'm breathin'

Racin' to the moonlight and I'm speedin'

I'm headed to the stars, ready to go far

I'm star walkin'

As time passes, David decides to put his plan of making Y/N his into action by inviting her to a nightclub with Maine's gang to celebrate a successful mission.

Everyone is having a blast by drinking and dancing away to the loud music being played throughout the whole building.

David decides to drag Y/N to a more secluded part of the building because he decided to use this opportunity to finally confess his feelings towards her.

Don't ever say it's over if I'm breathin'

Racin' to the moonlight and I'm speedin'

I'm headed to the stars, ready to go far

I'm star walkin'

He has her pinned against the wall, making her feel extremely flustered as he has a serious expression on his face before he confesses his feelings towards her with such sincerity in his tone.

She manages to compose herself before telling him that she loves him too and gives a quick peck on his lips as her answer to his confession.

David couldn't help but to pick her up and spin her around in his arms while thanking her for making him the happiest man alive and the gang cheered after hearing that.

Been that n***a since I came out my momma (Woo)

Thankin' God daddy never wore a condom (Woo)

Prove 'em wrong every time 'til it's normal

Why worship legends when you know that you can join 'em?

Time goes on, David and Y/N are happy in their relationship where they would go on dates by cruising around the city, have food and people watching together etc.

When it is time for the to take their relationship to the next level, they would do the deed to lose their virginity together when they're home alone.

During sex, David worships his darling's body with bruising kisses, markings and embraces while declaring his love towards her and she does the same for him as well.

As they are reaching the climax of their lovemaking, their bodies are entangled with one another and cum together as they feel the high from the act before sharing a passionate kiss together.

Th-These n***as don't like me, they don't like me

Likely, they wanna fight me

Come on, try it out, try me

They put me down, but I never cried out

Why me?

Word from the wise

David and the gang are devastated by the loss of their leader, Maine and Dorio during a kidnapping mission gone wrong that resulted in an explosion, along with cyberpsychosis at the same time.

Y/N and her dad comfort everyone to the best of their abilities, especially David because he feels guilty for not being able to rescue them and only salvaged Maine's cybernetic arms from the ordeal.

A few months later, he becomes the new leader and a well-renowned edgerunner. Y/N, her father and the gang share their concerns about his health due to him getting more implants and showing signs of cyberpsychosis.

Don't put worth inside a nigga that ain't try

They said I wouldn't make it out alive

They told me I would never see the rise

That's why I gotta kill 'em every time (Gotta watch 'em bleed, too)

Y/N discovers that she's late on her period so she gets a pregnancy test to confirm her suspicion and it turned out to be true.

She tearfully confides in the gang and her father about her pregnancy because she is afraid of David's reaction due to the cyberpsychosis he's experiencing.

They gently reassure her that they'll be there for her and the baby, especially her father because he vows to protect his unborn grandchild, no matter what.

She figures out how she'll break the news to David since she wants to keep the baby which is the result of their love.

Once she does it, he reacted to the news very well by kneeling down to place a gentle kiss on her stomach and sheds happy tears at the fact that he and Y/N will become parents despite their young age.

Don't put worth inside a n***a that ain't try

They said I wouldn't make it out alive

They told me I would never see the rise

That's why I gotta kill 'em every time (Gotta watch 'em bleed, too)

During the pregnancy, Y/N is well looked after while David and the gang are away for their missions. She keeps them updated on the progress of the baby and always reassures them that they are doing fine.

When it's time for the first ultrasound, David and Y/N get to hear their baby's heartbeat and find out their gender to be a girl, bringing a tear to his eye from happiness that he's going to be having a little princess of his own.

Whenever David has a day off or returns home from a mission, he would rest his head and hands on her baby bump to feel his daughter's movements and talk to her.

They decided to name their daughter after their late mothers to honour their memory and couldn't wait to meet her.

Don't ever say it's over if I'm breathin'

Racin' to the moonlight and I'm speedin'

I'm headed to the stars, ready to go far

I'm star walkin'

Y/N's father is looking after Y/N and would tell her stories about her late mother from their first meeting to their marriage.

He would tell her what a kindhearted woman her mother was and recalling the day he and her mother became parents which was the happiest days of their lives.

They get to feel the baby kicking from hearing them talking to the baby bump often and record the baby's heartbeats for David whenever he's missing them during his missions.

Don't ever say it's over if I'm breathin'

Racin' to the moonlight and I'm speedin'

On one fateful day, David and his gang have come across the cyberpsycho, Adam Smasher, during a mission where Lucy gets kidnapped by Faraday who betrays the gang for his selfish greed and power.

He uses the cyberskeleton to fight against Smasher while dealing with cyberpsychosis, but Smasher is too strong for him to handle. Faraday murders Kiwi to tie up a loose end in regards to the cyberskeleton, and Rebecca got crushed to death by Smasher.

Meanwhile, Y/N and her dad are praying for the gang's safety, especially for David, because she wants him back to witness the birth of their daughter and live a happy life together after having a courthouse wedding before he left for the mission.

Star walkin'

David and the surviving gang members have managed to get away to safety. They all end up in the hospital to get treated, but David had to be in a medically induced coma to be fully healed.

Y/N, who is fully pregnant by this point, stays by her husband's bedside until she ended up going into labour with their daughter, which lasted for 12 hours.

David has come out of his coma to be greeted by the sight of his wife holding their newborn baby girl in her arms, which made him tear up from happiness.

He was afraid to hold her at first, fearing that he would break her but is reassured that it would be alright, and once he does, the baby had her little hand wrap around his finger which made him cry more.

Everyone mourns the loss of Kiwi and Rebecca. The gang went their separate ways but still kept in touch with each other to hang out or do babysitting for the new Martinez parents because they adore the baby so much.

David and Y/N are spending their married life happily with their daughter after getting a new home for them to live altogether with her dad with the money made from the gang's missions.

𝙼𝚎𝚎𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚠𝚑𝚊𝚝𝚜.

It was a stormy night, the people in the village were in their houses enjoying the warmth of their blankets. It was like this once a week, the Island was covered with flowers rare and beautiful, to the point that it stuck to the houses.

Everyone in the village took pride in their lovely village named Lule, and for it's hidden treasure. It is said that the village hides a gold flower that costs a billion, it was a rare flower that originates in a island in the grandline called 'Flor De Oro' the Island has golden flowers everywhere.

Pirates from all over the world searched for the island only to fail.

A lumberjack walked in the woods, looking at the flowers that was now drinking rain, not fazed by the rain. His eyes furrowed noticing a body laying on a patch of daisies. The man approached the body, it was an 8 year old, covered in blood.

The man took her home and decided to keep her.

"Hm, your awake. I hope you don't mind that i changed you clothes." The man said as he observed the little girls body language. Surprisingly, the girl wasn't scared.

"...What's your name?" She opened her mouth to answer but stopped, furrowing her eye brows in confusion. "I-i don't....know?" Her voice was raspy like she hadn't drank water in days. "How'd you get here kid?" The kid stared back at him obviously telling him that she didn't know.

[Name] was so traumatized to the point that she had forgotten most of her past.

The Lumberjack sighed as he looked at the stove where a pot was boiling soup. "The names Dorio. I'll call you [Name], alright kid?" The girl smiled.

As they both sat down, the girl looked at the bowl of soup, drooling. She touched it with her pointer finger and flinched, her vision blurred as she remembered.

"I-i was taken by pirates... because t-they thought i have...dev-vil fruit powers..?" Her head hurt as she tried to remember more. One of Dorio's eyebrow raised "Hm, Devil fruit..?"

The girl smiled at him. "I can do this, look!!" The spoon levitated as the man blinked. "Hm, so you do have devil fruit powers. Are you okay-" [Name] vomitted, as the spoon fell.

[Name] was not a Devil fruit user. She played in the water just fine, Dorio thought. As he washed the vomit covered child. "How did you get your powers, [Name]..?" "Hmmm, i don't remember!" The child said as she popped the bubbles.

"I get dizzy when i use my powers though.." the child gagged as she still tasted the vomit on her tounge. "Then don't use your powers to much."

"okay, papa!" The man only hummed in response.

It has been 9 years. I've lived with Dorio, who is now my adoptive father in Lule village. I loved plants, to the point that Dorios house which was once gloomy and empty, was now covered with colorful plants.

In the future, i wished to become a Botanist. Plants are colorful and pretty, they are the ones who kept reminding me of a memory.

A pretty woman smiled, around her was a lovely patch of golden flowers and plants, a golden flower crown rested on top of her head. As far as i can remember, her name was Plumeria, and she was my mother.

'Why was she in that island? Is that where i live? Is she still alive?' I thought. I wish to go there someday, maybe i could find my missing memories. But i could never leave my father and my village.

I flinched as a loud explosions and screaming can be heard. "PIRATES!!!" Someone screamed as i panicked. 'Papa is still out there!!'

Luffy whistled as he sat on the going merry's head. It was peaceful and quiet, which the others appreciated since Luffy was a loud person, often demanding food or wanting to go to an island.

A gust of air suddenly blew away Luffy's hat and headed west. He reached for his hat, stretching his hand but quickly fell off merry's head. "AHHH!! LUFFY!!" Usopp yelled as he jumped into the water.

"What the hell Luffy!?" "M-MY HAT, MY HAT!!!!" Luffy sputtered as he held Nami's shoulders rocking her back and forth. "NAMI!! GO THAT WAY!!" Nami sighed and nodded, understanding her captains need for his hat.

A group of pirates grabbed Dorio kicking him "Papa!!" "S-stay [Name].... please don't come for me." I cried harder as i try to pull away from the hands trying to keep me from running after my father.

✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖

I banged on the door, my eyes red from crying, my hands all bloody from trying to break down the door and windows. Everyone locked me inside the house as they tried fighting the pirates who also stole their love ones and riches.

This can't be happening. I lost everything, i can't lose him too. The door suddenly busted open as i flew across the room and collided with the table.

"MY HAT!!! WHERES MY HAT!!?!" A boy screamed as he looked around the house. He had black hair and had a scar under his eye.

"HEY! DID YOU TAKE MY HAT!?" He yelled pointing at me "N-no..?" "Okay." He simply said turning around to leave. "Wait!!" I said as the knife from the table floated and landed on my hand.

'Holy shit, that took a lot of energy just to lift a 0.142 kilogramme knife.' i gulped trying not to literally vomit infront of this man. "Woah!!" He exclaimed, as his eyes began to twinkle.

"Your an Devil fruit user too!!" He pointed at me. "A-are you apart of the pirates who took away my father!?" I asked pointing the knife at him.

"Hm, no. I'm Monkey D. Luffy, and im going to be king of pirates!!" I looked at him, his smile, his eyes..it showed no bad intentions.

"Join my crew!!" He smiled "W-what!? No...i can't...my father..the pirates took him into the woods." I sob. "Will you join my crew if i save your dad?" He asked. "Y-you would do that..?" I sniffled, tears blurring my vision. I wiped the tears away.

"Sure." His smile..i have never seen someone so happy before. I kneeled and looked at him, "Please... rescue my father. I will join your crew!!" I begged, yelling as tears kept falling.

"Hey...stop crying." He said as he scratched his neck.

✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖

Luffy came back, carrying my father on his back, smiling widely. "OIII!! I rescued your father!! Will you join my crew now??" He yelled happily. Behind him, there were two men. One of them was blond and had swirly eyebrows the other, had green hair and had three swords.

Luffy placed the Lumberjack down carefully on the ground, as i ran up to him, hugging my father. "Papa!!" I sobbed into his chest. "Your okay!! I'm so sorry...i s-should've...i-i..." Words failed to form as i kept sniffling and crying.

"Your father is a tough one." The swordsman said as he leaned on a tree and closed his eyes. Dorio pat my back and smiled. "A simple pirate won't take me down [Name]." The man chuckled.

Saying goodbye to my village was hard but saying goodbye to Dorio was so much harder.

✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖

"What's your name?" The long nosed sniper asked, his eyes staring at me. Was he interrogating me? His name was.... Usopp. "Uhm...My name is [Name]." I gave him a smile.

"Hmm, what's your role in this ship?" I blushed, and looked at the ground. "I'm a Botanist.." it's not that I'm ashamed of being a Botanist, it's just..i feel out of place.

Everyone had a useful role, There was a sniper, navigator, chef...and I'm a... Botanist. I sighed. "Hey Luffy, why do we need a Botanist?" Usopp asked. "I don't know. But she can make things float!!" The captain said happily.

"Oh, she's a Devil fruit user?" Nami asked as she put down her news paper. "Show them [Name]!!" Luffy said poking me on the cheek.

"I'm not...well..a Devil fruit user. I'm pretty sure Devil fruit users can't swim, but i swim pretty fine." I tapped Luffy's hat. I clenched my fist as Luffy's straw hat lifted up, he quickly reached for his hat.

Usopp and Luffy began asking me questions about my powers in excitement. While Sanji gave me and Nami cake, they both welcomed me with a bright smile. Weirdly, i felt like I'm at home.

[nitewrighter]

Oh! Just to narrow my questions down into one may I ask your thoughts on the Edgerunner's crew? :0c any stand out favourites?

I like pretty much all of them (Pilar less so, because he’s skeevy, but he also kind of fits for the setting so *shrug*). I think what I liked about the whole crew is that, even though there is definitely a strong attachment and solidarity there, you're aware, the whole time, that each member of the crew is ready to break off for the sake of their own survival in some degree. There's connection but there's also a persistent emotional guardedness. They won't call themselves a found family because it's simply too dangerous to assume that---but that's part of the tragedy of every time one of them gets killed off. A lot of this connection initially comes off in a sort of, "hey this city won't take mercy on you so don't expect it from me" but there's this... aggressive intimacy about it: Kiwi's willing to knock Rebecca out of commission if it means keeping her from killing herself by avenging Pilar. Dorio punching Maine out to keep him from trying to fight while clearly incapacitated from that one EMP. It's these weird gestures of loyalty and care from a place that has lost all language for that because so much is beyond anyone's control at any given time.

Dorio knows Maine is well past gone, but she keeps trying to pull him back, until it kills her. Rebecca literally saying "We're having a moment, here!" before getting killed by Adam Smasher. And then you have that moment where Lucy is able to get David to snap out of his own Cyberpsychosis long enough for him to save her and say goodbye. They only seem to register their own connections and how far they’re willing to go for each other when death seems imminent.

Also I like Falco because they basically just shoved Cole Cassidy into Cyberpunk--Matt Mercer included. And it’s interesting that the older, only minimally cyberized, low-key guy survives, and even then he loses his cybernetic arm. I think there’s probably a metaphor here about allowing capitalism and machinery to literally consume your body to survive. 

[self-loving-vampire]

Okay, so in the anime Cyberpunk Edgerunners, there's a huge muscle-woman character called Dorio. She's half as wide as she is tall. At one point, her boyfriend starts trying to cop a feel when they're on a mission, and she elbows him in the face. Which causes him to get a nose bleed. Then the blood turns her on so much she starts licking the blood off up and down his face. Then they make out. He's copping a feel again at this point.

Kink rating: that

Hm... it's in a strange middle ground of reactions where I find it difficult to connect to that behavior, I think?

What I mean by that is...

If an established romantic partner groped me I would not hit them to begin with, even if the situation was serious.

If someone who did not have any such arrangement groped me then I would hit them (I have actually done this before too) and any resulting blood would not move my feelings on the matter even if I do like blood.

So in terms of like, self-insert potential that aspect is low.

And then there's also the use of violence there. It's not really the type of usage that gets me going, I think. It's both mild and friendly, without stakes or domination in it.

So I think I'd have to go with 3/10. I don't hate it but I don't think I'd enjoy it as the focus of a fantasy or anything.

[voidtrace]

Everyone be like omg team Lucy omg team Becca

I apologize if it takes long for me to finish a request, I'm a busy person, but I'll try my best to finish them as quickly as possible!

Characters: David, Lucy, Pilar

TW:

David

To simply put it together, he was shocked to find a person with such good intentions towards others.

There are not many people who had been good to him and didn't die.

Before he joined the crew you were already there. But after he joined he was surprised to find you, a welcoming and kind, with the past you had.

When he started working with you, you would keep an eye on him just in case he needed help.

And whenever he got injured, you would help him with treating the wound.

Whenever he got an implant you would nag him on him not taking care of himself properly, you'd congratulate him when he did better at a job than he did before, and many other nice things.

He started getting really attached to you. Calling you at night to talk to you about something. Talking to more when you went to party with the group, and other small things.

People started picking up on the things you did with each other and it became obvious that you liked each other.

After a while he decided that it would be time to tell you about his feelings, and he took you to a place where you usually went to have sentimental talks late at night.

Lucy

Lucy came around not long after you did, and she was surprised to meet someone like you.

She didn't trust you for a long time, believing that you had it out for her. But after a long time she realized you had good intentions.

You looked out for everyone in the crew, but you paid special attention to her. After some time you could tell she was afraid of something. She always acted like someone was looking for her, and would take her. Although you didn't bring it up, you made sure to try and make her feel safe.

Whenever she was finished netrunning for the day, you would check her, just to make sure everything was okay. You always made sure to remind her to take care of herself properly.

Although she didn't show it all that much she appreciated it a lot. She did little gestures in return, that not many noticed, other than a few closer friends.

She started being around you more. Even if it was just sitting beside you in silence, or buying you a drink when you were partying.

After some time you started noticing this and you decided to try your luck.

You called her to your apartment an you sat out on the balcony looking down at the city.

Pilar

If anything, Pilar was curious about you. He did not understand why you would be around people like them.

You were too nice of a person to just walk around with mercs. But then here you are. Dorio just bringing you here, out of nowhere.

But he couldn't lie, he did want to have sex with you. You were hot and different from the average people.

Especially with the way you nagged everyone with taking care of themselves and just being nice. When he wasn't hitting on you he was watching you talk with others.

He started clinging to you, trying harder to get in your pants, or asking bizarre questions.

When you got comfortable with the way he acted, he started getting touchy with you. Literally not caring where you were he was always breathing down your neck, touching you or trying to impress you.

After a while it came out that you had feelings for each other, probably Rebecca was complaining about him being all over you and not letting the two of you talk.
