#dol opinions

[dol-dee]

IK nobody asked buuuuut I'll talk about it anyways.

I somewhat fall into the category of prefering fem iterations of the dol characters. I say somewhat bc, Yeah I like women but thats not the main reason.

DoL HEAVILY relies on tropes and well known character archetypes when it comes to it's NPCs.

A lot of them are ol' reliables and (at least to me) feel very worn out when in their cis male version. Which is why I often gravitate to the version that feels more "fresh" or subversive to me.

For Example: I love my fem Sydney but her particular character trope (corruption of the "pure" religious character) feels a bit more interesting (to me) when its M!Sydney.

Although I will admit that another reason I tend to favor the female versions is that most dol fandom depictions (that I have seen) already have a strong bias towards the male version of these characters. The ground there is plenty covered already and I don't think I can bring much new to the table there.

I don't think most people will care about my particular opinions/List on this , so I'll put it under a cut haha.

Tbf I like to let the game do it's own thing to see what it cooks up in the npcs body, sex and gender department but I do have a few characters that I consistently change like Avery.

Cis M!Avery is just suuuch a tired trope to me (probably bc it's not that uncommon in real life either?) Another man with anger issues who exclusively dates (according to canon aka Vrel) only 18 to 20 year olds? YAWN. idk I could just go look at Leonardo DiCaprios dating chart if I wanted to see that. Obviously, if it does something for you, go right ahead. I'll leave you to your feast, it's just not for me. I need Avery to be a very smarmy, maladjusted butch woman.

Okokok I'll get to the list now (for the characters that I have developed strong opinions about anyways) and I'll go into, what my current/canon run is set to as well as what I prefer depending on what I find more interesting. (with some notes if I have thoughts on the character) uhhhhh Ig I'll do it in Alphabetical order?

Avery: Preferred: F! Avery Current Run: F! Avery (note: I think I went in and manually changed it) - (Nothing more to say really, I already mentioned my reasons. Plus M!Avery just makes me feel icky)

Alex: Preferred: No preference Current Run: M! Alex

Bailey: Preferred: somewhat neutral but leaning towards F! Bailey Current Run: F! Bailey - (Bailey once again seems to have a lot of M! fanworks already and I like the idea of her being either futch or butch. Bailey just strikes me as someone who'd wear a lot of boring suits. Very nondescript/practical)

Eden: Preferred: F! Eden Current Run: F! Eden - (Eden is a case where I really wanted to live my Huntress dbd fantasies out with her but was open to the option of M!Eden. Until I ran into him in my first run and I really didn't like it very much. I prefer her as a hulking hermit woman atp also sad toxic yuri between Eden and Bailey <3)

Harper: Preferred: No preference Current Run: F! Harper - (Harper lowkey gives me Moira Overwatch vibes (mainly bc of my design lmao) so I have a soft spot for fem!Harper)

Kylar: Preferred: No preference Current Run: F! Kylar - (I do think same sex PC and Kylar is hilarious considering Kylar is so fixated on getting you pregnant, so in this case: ig whatevers funnier <3)

Remy: Preferred: F!Remy kinda Current Run: F! Remy - (I'm actually kind neutral on Remy's sex and gender but I do think its somehow funnier when it's F!Remy. Like whats going on there that she wants to give other women humongus tits and milk them?)

Robin: Preferred: No preference Current Run: M! Robin - (Robin is cute either way!)

Sydney: Preferred: No preference Current Run: F! Sydney - ( I have no real preference for Sydney and I already mentioned my thoughts on them)

Whitney: Preferred: F! Whitney Current Run: M! Whitney - (I've seen this trope so many times with hyperagressive dudes. It's not doing much for me. To see that kind of behavior with a fem character instead really revitalizes my interest in It! M!Whitney is fine and hes kinda grown on me but I think I'd have more fun with Whitney if they were femme instead)

heyo, thought it'd be important to address because i recently hit 100+ followers.

but there's an account (spacedreamboy) blatantly posting ai art in the dol fanart tags, and they've recently deleted old posts of their inconsistent ai art to appear that they have created these artworks themselves. they have not. their 'art' is ai.

(exposé utc, old deleted posts, inconsistencies in artwork below)

i'm really happy that i screenshotted these posts when i did, because i had an itching feeling that they would delete their old inconsistent posts that did not have a consistent, repetitive artstyle (thankfully, consistency within art is something ai cannot recreate, which makes it easily identifiable).

while i cannot say what ai art program has been used (most likely an image-prompt generator ai bot; something like Dall-e or the character ai image generating bots) i want to let you all know why this is problematic.

- to create artworks like the 'fanart' above, ai programs steal digital artist's work.

- spacedreamboy is openly putting these works in character fanart tags rather than ai art tags

- they are (unintentionally or intentionally) fooling people in the dol community that they have created these artworks when they have not.

here are some weird things within one of their deleted 'artworks' that are common within ai art generation.

- random coins everywhere

- weirdly long cigarette (that looks like a blend of cigar and a cigarette)

- cigarette smoke trail that blows in weird directions.

- the fountain (if you look closely) is warped and the water in it is just... weird to look at.

- the tattoo on whitney's chest isn't really of anything. it's a blend of random popular bad-boy tattoos into one amalgamation.

- in general, just look closely at the art and you will notice the faults within it that an actual artist with this level of skill would not have.

i really hate ai art. i think it takes away from actual, hardworking artists within online communities. @spacedreamboy do better.

if your art isn't ai, i'll happily apologise publicly if you post a speedpaint or some traditional art of yours.

5. What’s one hill your OC will die on (anything from a guiding moral position to a strong opinion about combining mint and chocolate)? for all of them!

5. What’s one hill your OC will die on (anything from a guiding moral position to a strong opinion about combining mint and chocolate)?

For Vanida, I briefly touched on this, but she's very much of the mindset & belief that everyone is terrible in different ways & varying degrees. Even the most good intentioned person, is capable of, or already has done, bad things. Whether it be intentional, or ignorance, no one is admonished from it.

For Cody, it's so stupid, but he feels very strongly on the fact that if a person does not have enough thick enough ass, they cannot qualify for the term of 'sexy' / 'most attractive'. LIKE, they can be cute!! They can be pretty!!! but fuck outta here, with sexy, he's going to side eye any person who disagrees with him. Like I've joked on my twitter that if the PC has a small ass, that if Cody catches them dancing in the brothels / strip clubs, he's going to be in the crowds shouting "YES GIRL! GO GIVE US NOTHING!" giving them an insecurity.

For Noel... she's a bit tricky, because she has a lot of strong opinions & positions HAHA Ranging from how the entire town & population of doltown is tainted, to how she hates doing sex because it is what this corrupted town runs on ( except in the few occasions of sexual gratification through violence, or sex when her 'cuteness aggression' is maxed out ), to how every problem in the world can be fixed through violence ( vanida shares this sentiment even though she never acts on it. noel does act on it. ) BUT to be silly & light-hearted, you can get her to argue on her fashion choices and if she purposefully dresses to get looks. It can get you killed if you push it, but Noel is very adamant that she dresses the way she does to act in similar fashion to animals who have bright colors to signal they're toxic. Her fashion is "eye-catching" and "strange" to warn people off!!

so care became a nun, and look what happened to my corrupted sydney… reading this solidified my interpretation of sydney even more lol

“about myself, i… i had forgotten who i was. and praying here, with you… it helped me remember who i was, i think…”

this is what happens when pc stops encouraging fallen! sydney’s behavior and way of thinking. sydney realizes it’s not a path they want to be on.

(whether they realize it or not) sydney is incredibly uncertain of who they are and as a person and they must need constant validation, directly or indirectly, from the person they love the most.

i see them as someone who is completely unaware of how little they know about themselves and about how much they crave validation from their loved ones. they crave it so much that they would literally abandon everything they’ve been taught their entire life for the pc’s acceptance.

[unmerrymagdalene]

I know that you dislike the temple but I’m imagining a nun/monk angry that Sydney’s snores are so loud. Before they can yell at Sydney, another nun/monk pulls them aside. Sydney already doesn’t get enough sleep; there’s no reason to make them self conscious about what sleep they do get.

I’m glad my hatred of the Temple transcends my posts, I am their biggest hater

But I do like this idea! I’d like to imaging the Temple is semi aware of how hard Sydney works, because they’re the next Jesus Christ in waiting, leading to them giving Sydney some grace (hehe). They probably do generally care about them in some way, even if that care/love is conditional and only if they abide by the Temple rules 😊

Thinking about a DoL x Heathers Musical crossover

Ughhhhh

[dol-dee]

I'm considering doing a lil mock up (as in packaging design) for the cigarettes Dee smokes. Ive already kinda settled on a name and it might be fun!! ....I'll put it on the pile..

[themanyfacesofkat]

DOL but it's NPMD

Whitney would absolutely be Max, no question

I'm sure we ALL agree that Sydney would be Chastity.

And KYLAR IS RUTH AND WE ALL FUCKING KNOW IT

Meanwhile Steph and Pete are prolly just PC and Robin lol

okay i might be reaching but i think Bailey would be sad because he have been cruel to all of his orphans just so they're not gonna be attached to him. he wanted his orphans get far far away from him (and possibly the city) and not have any good memories whatsoever so the orphans that have finished paying the debt of would not have any attachment to the wretched place anymore.

He is also sad about PC writing in their diary about wanting to marry him because PC is already attached to him and that means that PC won't go away from him or the town that easily or that soon because well they have a goal and that goal is to be with him. which means that PC would never ever ever be safe from the heinous city and its perverse citizens, making PC be in danger more and more as opposed to if PC finished the debt quickly and ran out of the city

devo hellooo

saw this post and immediately thought of youu hope you like it and have a nice day!

hiihihii thank you for thinking of me <3 n also giving me an opportunity to yap about bailey :DD i hope ur having a good one too ^_^

the card game sequence continues to be the gift that keeps on giving. this reminds me of another question someone asked which ive pored over for longer than i really should

it's interesting to me how he doesn't bother contradicting it, even if it visibly affects him. It's not like the rest of the table doesn't know how he treats the orphans. Maybe he needs to keep up his stoic front so it'd be more embarrassing to express how he feels? or maybe PC calling them mom/dad still upholds the power dynamic in his favour?

also, another anon asked these questions which have honestly broken me:

maybe im going crazy but i feel like we never see vrel answering that bailey would feel sad about anything so this is like!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what the fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!111!1!!!! wdym bailey would feel sad if PC thought he was a good person and wants to marry him.........ough...........................................................

Throws this into the void

[dol-dee]

I feel like Avery's at least a lil charmed by/attracted to Dee's idgaf attitude whenever she chastises her about something benign.

Little does she know its because Dee doesn't care or respect her opinions

[its-my-mistake-but-ill-take-it]

i leave for five mins and people are frothing at the mouth trying to make DOL toxic.

I feel obligated to post the announcement that came out from the dolcord's mods about the whole thing.

not saying "oo theyre all innocent let them beeeee" but word of mouth travels fast. there was already clarifications that had to be made about the original screenshots and whatnot. might as well throw in what was said by the mods.
