First square of my DC obscure character bingo! I decided to make my own amalgam styled character by merging Lonnie Machin and Peter Parker. This is my 4th design attempt and in my mind what would be Lonnie’s first spider suit.

hunted? for the thingy thing ? ive liked your thoughts about him so far :))

ohh hunted, the certified darling. i really like him a lot, and i find it surprising he was the most unpopular voice until broken overtook him and bumped up to the second place. i suppose the reason for this is that he's more "forgettable" than actively despised, as i've only ever heard one person express their disdain for him. i'm hoping pristine cut shines more of a spotlight on him and beast cos they really deserve it!

speaking of bumping up, i really think once i sit down and begin studying his character properly he'll officially be one of my favorite voices. he's darling tier right now, yes, but i feel like i don't quite grasp understand his character yet. theres many reasons i want to though! first, the voice johnny sims provided him is so soft and lovely, one of my favorites. aecond, i'm so interested in his place within the long quiet and tbe narrative. third, the wild routes my beloved.

and listen, i would never hurt him⸻bro deserves to sit on his farm petting all his sheep⸻but wild? his parallels with opportunist??? i'm biting, i'm biting, i'm BITING-

Hello I’m back on the Cyberpunk brainrot and currently thinking too hard about Goro Takemura - specifically as I was replaying it he reminded me of a specific Yokai I remember hearing about years ago and when I did more research on it DAMN are there parallels - and I’m more inclined to write this because Takemura himself has a mystical streak in-game as shown by the Bakeneko conversation.

Specifically, I can’t help but compare him to the Inugami (basically translates to ‘spirit dog’??? Idk my Japanese is shaky at best)

First off, Takemura is DRENCHED in dog imagery. Johnny calls him a ‘Well-Trained Dog’, Takemura claims he can’t pursue his ideas of leaving Arasaka because ‘You cannot teach an old dog new tricks’, and there’s the general running theme of his character being undyingly loyal to his masters, no matter what else.

He was also ‘trained’ by Arasaka after coming from nothing - living in the worst slum of Japan, being recruited as a child and put through intense conversion to become Saburo Arasaka’s bodyguard. Even the way Takemura describes Saburo picking him from a lineup of potential candidates reminds me of someone picking up a rescue dog from a shelter - all lined up, until one catches their eye for no particular reason.

The Inugami functions as a familiar, created through extreme cruelty and undyingly loyal to its master. There are a few versions I found for its creation, but the most common one is a Dog being either tied up just out of reach of food or buried up to its neck with food in front of it, slowly starving until it’s head is cut off at the height of its desperation for food. Then the head is buried under a crossroads, the foot traffic angering the already tortured spirit, before the head is mummified and hidden somewhere on it’s masters estate, creating a ghost familiar willing to do whatever its master says. Usually in art an Inugami is depicted as a dogs head on a pile of robes.

I just… it fits Takemura so well. He was starved, literally and figuratively in Chiba-11, placed just outside of the reach of food, just outside of the Arasaka soldiers patrolling through his district. The crossroads, the foot traffic and AVs of the only people that might save him driving him into desperation, washing himself clean in toxic waters so they might take him. Hell, even his design in-game makes it look like his head is the only ‘real’ part of him left - sliced off and preserved, before placed on a new chromed out body branded neck-to-toe with the Arasaka logo. Inugami can be loyal to just one master or to a family, and Takemura will do anything for what he considers the rightful heads of the Arasaka family despite all the pain and suffering they’ve put him through.

This metaphor extends to the other Arasaka bodyguards, too - Oda obviously has similar cybernetics that emphasises his head as ‘real’ and is similarly undyingly loyal to Hanako, and ESPECIALLY Adam Smasher falls into this. The man died and was literally rebuilt by Arasaka - no matter how rabid or violent he is, he will possess, kill and torture anyone he is ordered too by his masters.

And the sad part is, in the Inugami legend, apparently it’s possible for the spirit to turn on its master if it’s mistreated enough. But Goro never does. Even in the Tower Ending, even in the worst case scenario where he’s a wanted man on the run with no ties to Arasaka, he STILL reeks of loyalty to them. The ‘bitter medicine’ of V forced him out of his old life, and you can tell he wants it back. If Takemura ever realised how fucked up Saburo and Hanako truly are and turned tail, maybe he’d get a happy ending - but his loyalty, forged with starvation and suffering, prevents him no matter what. Like a good dog.

Comment Bingo: Dean Winchester Edition

Very simple rules: comment on a fic with the given tag in a particular square; repeat until you've completed 5 squares in a line

Very simple goals: encourage readers to comment on fics; encourage fandom writers to KEEP WRITING (about Dean)

🎉 to celebrate 500+ followers, here's a card for one of my all-time forever favorite characters; I haven't been super active in spn fandom for awhile, but every now and then a Dean craving hits; special thanks to @thomthinks for providing feedback and suggestions 💛

STEPS:

Download Bingo Card HERE (png) or HERE (jpg) or HERE (pdf)

Complete the tasks on the card, marking off each as you go, until you've completed 5 in a line (vertical, horizontal, or diagonal; center ♥️ is a free space)

POST your winning card (or list your filled squares) and tag @feedthefandomfest! Glory in your victory.

REWARD:

✨ victory badges ✨

New badge for this card, but here are examples from previous cards:

Tag me when you earn a bingo (or double, triple, quadruple... FULL CARD bingo) and I'll reblog a shiny badge with your name on it to commemorate the win.

FAQ:

Can I comment on tumblr or only on AO3?

Either one is great! This card especially is more designed with AO3 in mind, but some can be adjusted to suit tumblr as well, so I say go for it. Tumblr fics deserve love, too.

Can one comment count toward multiple squares if the fic fits more than one category?

Since the goal is for as many fics to receive comments as possible, try to comment on a different fic for each square.

Is there a time limit?

Nope! Take your time or set your own deadline, whatever works for you.

Do I have to record progress on the actual card?

Nope! If it’s easier to keep track in a different way, that’s fine. This is all very honor system, so if you say you earned a Bingo, we’ll call it a win 🎉

Some people have been tracking not just completed tasks, but the fics they read along the way, so that when they post a bingo, they can also promote the fics/authors in a little rec list. Not required, but definitely cool to see!

Can I adjust the task in a particular square to suit my comfort level?

Of course! If you deliver something in the spirit of the task, then it’s all good. Use your best judgement in constructing a comment that will make the author smile, and you can consider it a job well done.

In general, so long as each square has produced at least one comment, you’re golden and I salute you 🫡

Happy commenting!!

For the DP character Bingo, how about Dash Baxter?

I don’t think about him that much tbh, but whenever I see a design that even slightly resembles his, I instantly think of him. Suddenly he’s on my mind the whole time this entirely different bully character is on screen(it’s always a bully who looks like this xD). I also really love varsity jackets, they look so cool to me.
