FLAT CHEST PEARL?? YIPPEE

[bainofjustice]

Joy speaks with her new teammate Pearl in a bar and finds herself more fond than she meant to be.

Okay so yesterday I realized something, there won't be any Pearl fanfic yet, I also realized that from what we know of her rn she'd make a fun pairing with Joy (aka one of my favs of Payday) so I decided to hit serveal birds with one stone.

I personally call them the gayest two, fight me if you do not agree with.

CAN PEARL AND SYDNEY BEAT ME TO DEATH

The more fanart I see of Pearl (Payday 3), the more I think she resembles Liquid Snake (Metal Gear Solid series).

Could be they both have that androgynous swag. Either way, they're both enchanting. Fascinating. Compelling.

... does Pearl happen to have a hot gay brother?

[demytrixi]

im thinking about them.

i'm actually pretty happy with the pd3 heister reveals. spoilers for now given it's hot fresh news, so read below the cut for my full thoughts.

joy and pearl make a lot of sense from a developer standpoint as picks for launch. obvs they want to pick heisters that aren't super iconic (yet) to give them time and space to grow. and it's great to see a new heister so we know this isn't payday 2.5 in terms of cast. and we have four guys, so having two girls balances out the choices well especially for newbies to the game. i do admit i was hoping for houston, but i saw at least one of the female heisters returning from miles away. here's hoping we see our old mains in some shape or form.

let's start with pearl. she brings an air of class(?) that hasn't been covered by the existing pd3 crew which gives more variety to the characters that people can play. i love her outfit and face (very chic) but not sold on the mask. pearl's chic-ness contrasts her from pretty much all of the payday 2 female heisters as well. obvs i want my favs back, but pearl is going to be a solid addition and i hope that she's going to be well fleshed out in the game.

joy was initially unexpected but makes more sense as i'm thinking about it. consider that she got done super dirty in pd2 given her late introduction and her lack of relevance in the plot asides from her connection with locke. city of gold campaign fleshed her out surprisingly well, but it was too late for the majority of players to start giving a shit about her. and the point lines were... controversial. but i'm glad to see in this game she seems like she's grown up (and her va is returning, yay job security and continuity). her outfit is amazing, her face is... well. controversial (but i think she'll be alright on release). i hope that she can endear herself to fans now that she finally has room to do so. i am rooting for you cringe gamer girl (affectionate).

(also, possible revenge plot from her given locke is mia afawk.... looking forward to it)

Okay got to watch the dev dairy for lore, and I gotta say this more than anything has gotten me the most excited for pd3.

Firstly I am very interested in what the tl looks like as they mention gaining the pardons but it is also pretty clear from the pd2 dlc tapes the new bad guy is avenging Murkywater so my own theory is that the two versions of the white house heist are canonly combined, getting the pardons and confronting The Dentist/Healer.

Okay next is that I am extremely intrigued by Shade, an old comtact of Bain according to the devs, who swopped in just in the nick of time. I am admittedly not sure I trust her, so far all of Bain's old contacts have been allies to the gang, it could be time for a twist, though admittedly I'm not sure I want that. Either way I hope that like Duke, Bain's other well known old contact she knows about Katru stuff, it'd be hard to have the voice in the ear not in the know. Either way I am excited to learn more about her motives and goals.

Now as for Pearl I am really curious as to who brought her in and why she has mutual enemies with the rest of the gang after all why get involved with fighting a group who was able to take the assets of some of the best criminals in the world and has a shit ton of assianions on their side?

Also oof that Dallas is more somber now, I mean yeah life has been shit for him, lost Bain, lost his retirement and his brother is missing at best and at worst is dead.

Speaking of that I am curious about them implying the assassinaions might have killed members of the gang, my best guess is that crossover characters are the most likely to have met this fate or die during the story of the game since they can't show up much in the flesh anyways so at least they could add to the stakes. I am very willing to believe that the youtubers were taken out before the start of the game by the enemy group.

Also I found it both really funny and sad that apparently the worst time in Wolf's life was retirement but it does add up, he hasn't gotten any treatment for his extreme traumas and mental issues so like it's not like he could go to a civi life, besides as far as we know his family is m.i.a and the Payday gang was the only thing remotely close to a support system he had so like, no wonder he is happy that someone is now after he and the gangs lives and took everyone's money, it means he has his friends back alongside the only form of life he is currently adjusted to.

There is one thing that is on my mind tho... There are rn three main characters that are woman, both extra heisters and the voice in the ear, I believe this is to catch up with the core four being male, but... We need one more so either

A weapons dealer or something along these lines will be a woman

One of the first villains will be a woman

Or... hear me out, this is how Jordan Griffin could still be a main character in the payday franchise-
