Charcter thing with Dakota? :3

DONT WORRY!!! I DID FORGET BUT IM HERE AND GONNA YAP ON AND ON ABOUT DAKOTA!!! Also GIGGLES u activated my trap card and now I get to yap about how much I like Dakota >:)!

Everything, he’s the best boy. I’m SUCH a sucker for the loud roughy character in media and he fit all of the requirements, scars, red head, loud, heart-wrenching-sob-worthy backstory, the whole nine-yards. He’s so bad at talking about emotions and not being so fricking self destructive, but is so loyal to his friends…. He’s guard-dog or just dog coded, he’s goes feral when he’s overwhelmed and stimulated, just… 💥 HES SUCH A GOOD CHARACTER….

I can’t do that to my boy :(……….. tho it’s probably his canonical design- everyone has such AMAZIN designs for him and the other PD it’s just… uagh….. the canon designs :/…..

I’m gonna be honest I still haven’t gotten through all of s2 but I’m working on it- I’m on ep21 rn and it’s…. SOBS…. For this I’m gonna pull one of my favorite silly quotes from him, “What am I a fucking dog, huh? Damn I gonna go fetch some bones for you?” … “BARKING” GIGGLES!!! Don’t ask why I like it so much, I don’t have an answer- I wishhhh I had more of his angsty quotes saved but I don’t have as many as I want :/ it’s been a bit harder for me to write all of them down while listening…

I love all of the PD together and their friendship and how codependent they are with each other soooo much but I gotta say fav brOTP has gotta be William bc of how often Dakota will seek him out for answers and trusts him with his life…. Just uuaagghhhh…… they are so codependent and it’s so unhealthy but so fricking yummy…..

I’m gonna be honest!!! I’m not really a big fan of any romantic relationships with Dakota :], Ghostkicks and Demonkicks are tempting but I honestly can only see him in a secret-third-thing type of relationship! He’s very under the Asexual umbrella to me (don’t ask why I can’t figure out my own sexuality let alone a characters-) and I love seeing poly PD with his relationships being pretty much platonic <3. But still, Ghostkicks and Demonkicks are…… <3….. (sorry Vyncent D:)

I don’t think I got a nOTP for Dakota? I already explained my thoughts on him being in a romantic relationship but I don’t think I have anyone I’ve seen him shipped with that I’ve said “absolutely not.” about!

His mechanical heart uses more energy than is shown in the campaign, so when he really pushes his limits past his max he has major repercussions for doing so, which is seen with him passing out for days instead of his normal short naps after really draining battles like their base burning down & going straight into the spirit realm, the meatball, Atlas, etc.

Hmmm!!! Another hard one bc I consume soo many other peoples thoughts and head-canons for him lol, also I don’t really know what’s unpopular opinions in the fandom- idk why tho :O. Ig the closest I got is that his ass would not be fashionable whatsoever outside of his hero outfit, when he’s not out doing hero work he’s the type of guy to wear basketball shorts and loose tank tops almost all year around LMAO.

I have so many of them…… but one is “The Fall” by half•alive, I’ve daydreamed about making an animatic to this song with Dakota soooo many times…..

Fav picture of him……….. I’m gonna do fav drawing I’ve done of him for this one :]!

I’m so so amused with this drawing GIGGLES

OKAY THATS IT!!! Sorry this is SUCH a ramble and I have no idea if any of it makes sense- I just love Dakota so fricking much but can’t put it into words…..

GMORNING !!!!! u know what time it is

EPISODE 8 TRIVIA:

- the big monster they fought in the beginning was called a Crawling Apocalypse which looks like this. terrifying !!!

- bizly really liked that william banished it. he was originally not gonna let him do that but then "i realized your character can do so little and that was cool so i said fuck it" we love william pity points he is such a loser and he rolls so terribly <3

- they start talking about one piece because grizzlys saying things abt how certain parts of dakota are inspired by luffy and bizly goes "ive never watched anime" which is the biggest lie in the world

- grizzly: "yknow we were about an hour into the episode before i realized wow i havent done anything productive yet"

condi: "you just hit on vyncents mom for like 20 minutes!!!!"

- and then they start talking about how dakota and chip (bizlys pc from riptide) would either be best friends or hate each other which is really funny bc there are now MULTIPLE what if crossover episodes where they meet and interact and thats exactly the dynamic . i love them

- condi wasnt expecting his dad to be dead, he thought theyd have to fight him

- he kind of hesitated taking the sword !! vyncent doesnt really know how to feel about using something that belonged to his father

- he wasnt entirely Present for the part where his dad betrayed the party, he was sort of fading in and out of consciousness so theres a chance he didnt actually get the full picture. condi knows this out of character and vyncent knows it in the back of his mind somewhere that his dad might not actually be fully evil but hes too angry to come to terms with that yet

- hes struggling a lot with the fact that his mom.doesnt know about the betrayal. he doesnt want to tell her because "its not his fathers pride at stake, its his mother's memory of him" and that makes me so . :(

- THE GREATS!!!!!!!! THE GREATS ARE HERE i love the greats. surely nothing bad is happening to them

- they have a couple theories as to whats going on with the greats:

-- condi: theyre in this state because vyncent took too long getting them back here out of his head

-- condi: they were killed when they got transported to the other world and there was no way to get them back completely

-- charlie: something happened in the time where vyncent was transported to prime and the greats had died, so someone did something to keep them alive by putting them in his head. maybe they could only be kept alive by being in vyncents head

- grizzly tries to insight check bizly irl to see if any of their theories are close so far. this does not work . he rolled a 17 btw

- none of them trust minerva they think she might be secretly working with the lich. bizly defends her by saying "shes also in the middle of basically an apocalypse i think shes allowed to be a little mean to you"

- le frog is the only french person ever. this is brought up with NO context no explanation

- bizly is sharing some of the thumbnail art from youtube because this was right around the time the first few episodes were being put up publically !! most of them are just the same as the official refs but the most important one is le frog bc im not actually sure if youve seen his offical design yet . also tide used to be white. we dont have to talk about white tide

- bizly says pd feels more like a DC comic than a Marvel comic. hes right about this

- charlie starts talking about marissa meyer books and this is important 2 me because the lunar chronicles was an extremely formative piece of media for me . she apparently has a book called renegades thats superhero themed and i have not read it yet but i put it on my list specifically because of this. wahoo!

tgis is SUCH good trivia for this ep thank u dude... ouagh. really solid meal here. i love these last couple episodes so much.. there's so much fun stuff happening here i'm enjoying all of the greats stuff & getting like a solid Vyncent Moment for a while.

i LOVE the william pity points its great! it WAS cool as fuck!! also i gain +5 hp every time a gm goes "who give a shit if this isn't technically how the game mechanics should work, it's fun for everyone at the table & makes for something cool and makes sense narratively."

that being said. i DID take SO MUCH PSYCHIC DAMAGE from how long dakota spent hitting on his fucking mom. Please. Please king !!! sob.

I ALSO WAS EXPECTING THEM TO FIGHT VYN'S DAD???? still not unconvinced that some lich undead bullshit isn't going to happen with that. god i'm so invested in figuring out what HAPPENED there... i love this type of murder mystery situation. & i also was genuinely unsure if he would take the sword or not!! really kind of an ohhh shit! moment when he did. imo. vyncent virion sol i love u.... also it's still INCREDIBLY funny 2 me that he's still in his normal clothes. i have not forgotten that he is just doin his fantasy bullshit thing in the just some guy drip. (<- i might have forgotten something but i've been assuming they no longer have/wear Official Hero Drip since they're no longer really sanctioned or on great terms w/ them? also i've been assuming that the episode-specific clothes & shit isn't really permanent... now that im thinking about it though please tell me wiwi hardcore blue flame black leather kickass spiky biker jacket remains. it's too cool for him. but. still.)

I LOVE THE GREATS SO MUCH... i hope nothing permanently bad happens to them :( i like them so dearly..... you know they r really solid folks because they spent a YEAR and change living in a teenager's brain & came out of the experience still bein so nice 2 him.... augh. also in general big fan of the system-adjacent bullshit :] i love it when theres. guy with guys in his head. etc. will b sad ab their departure but i hope they r OKAY and return 2 Being Alive & shit!! nervous laughter. also god i can't wait to find out what Actually Happened with them. hhrhrghghgghh.

THIS IS SO TRUE ALSO???? free my girl minerva she did nothing but have Literally Normal Reactions to TERRIBLE things happening!!!

I DON'T LIKE THAT LEFROG FACT. it raises the question of is he actually even french or like, is there even a point of reference for his behavior. like. What is going on there. Horrifying thank you!!!! also man this entire degree im working on would be useless! well. maybe prime quebec exists. somehow. independently of a hypothetical europe. HIS DESIGN IS SO FUN BTW. its so cute.. i WAS kind of imagining a mutant Big Real Fucking Frog situation but i think this is a lot more reasonable. also literally ignoring white tide I Do Not See it. It Does Not Exist.

ALSO. NOT GOING TO START TALKING AB COMICS FOR EVEN MORE PARAGRAPHS. BUT. he is so so so right. (<- dc comics guy with Opinions. well. technically im not even much of a dc guy im just a vertigo guy. but. still.) hghghghbhgh.
