In honor of International Lesbian Day, here are my lesbian Manhunt headcanons

I made lesbian icons, as well as lesbian+asexual icons with both variants of the sunset lesbian pride flag for The Journalist, Dr Whyte and Dr Sender 😁😁

Why? Because I’m a lesbian and I say so!

🧡🤍💖

Manhunt/Bully crossover headcanons:

- The Journalist’s name is Robin.

- Robin was not a part of a clique in Bullworth. She had the potential to be one of the Jocks, as she used to be athletic, but it didn’t interest her.

- She’s not on bad terms with anyone (except Earnest), but she’s on best terms with Gloria Jackson and Judy Sender.

- Her favorite classes were English and Art. Her favorite teacher was Ms Philips.

- Robin would remind Ms Philips of her younger self.

- Laura Whyte was a new biology teacher a Bullworth at the time. She had to step in for Dr Watts for a few weeks, but the kids adored her and found her teaching methods to be a breath of fresh air.

- Back in Laura’s day she was the de facto leader of the Nerds. However, she was never recognized by the rest of the school as such, due to how society was back in the day.

- Judy and Daniel were her favorite students, but she never made that obvious.

Hello Manhunt fandom I'm here to drop music headcanons because they're taking over my brain

𖤐 James Earl Cash: This could be me projecting, but he gives me major Mincecore/Goregrind/Crust Punk vibes, either that or like,, Dad metal.

𖤐 Robin/The Journalist: Idc if bedroom pop didn't exist in 2003 (idk when it was made mb og) but she would so be Girl In Red lesbian idc what anyone says, or she would be in to something crazy like Vomitnoise or something.

𖤐 Lionel Starkweather: Either P0rn0grind or like,, those little slow indie sort of love songs??? Or is it Grunge idk mb, but like I'm so stuck between them drop your ideas chat.

𖤐 Ramirez: War Metal, just War Metal, either that or Sludge Metal, I could see him being an Acid Bath fan.

𖤐 Mr Nasty: HE IS THE P0RN0GRIND FAN HE EDITS HIS SNVFF FILMS INTO SONGS

𖤐 Daniel Lamb: Male manipulator music, but he isn't a male manipulator he just likes Radiohead and Car Seat Headrest leave him be

𖤐 Leo Kasper: Nu Metal or Industrial Metal,, he seems like a Coal Chamber fan idk bro

If you have any headcanons you want to share, please do I love this fandom I wanna know what yall think dawg

[dark-drawssss]

can you draw manhunt 2 Yuri for your lesbian fans?

Yeah I can I guess, but both games sadly don't have many women in them (the ones that actually matter that is, since prostitutes are there to poke fun at what MK-Ultra did). Well since almost every Manhunt women is a lesbian in my heart have this 💙 (I don't actually ship it but ya know, wanted an excuse to draw these characters anyway).

Also, unrelated but I was thinking about how Rob probably lost any friends she had thanks to trying to expose the snuff ring, since said friends likely didn't want to put themselves in danger by being around her.

dont like this a lot but i post it anyways

Basically Robins Broadcast about Starkweathers Snuff ring:

[manhuntingbonanza]

It kinda sucks how it's been revealed that after the events of Manhunt, Rob (the journalist) has been suffering mentally, and that it doesn't give her a proper happy ending. If anyone deserves a 100% wholesome happy ending, it's her!

Manhunt epilogue AU where she not only has been recovering from her mental trauma, but also gets the full credit for her story on Starkweather's snuff film ring and gets lauded as a hero of the city. What she has worked for has finally come to fruition!

To the game's credit, the epilogue did do good job deconstructing her journey throughout the game. Digging dirt on a wealthy bastard AND his snuff film ring is bound to put a target on your back and a price on your head.

But what about the hard work she put into her work? Where's her credit? I just think it sucks how her so-called victory didn't really seem like a victory. If that makes sense...

Robin the Journalist showing off her lesbianism!

(bonus of womenlovers appreciating women 😊)

Ok yeah I admit I mostly made it to troll Reddit because there's something they hate more than yaoi and HeadCanon list: Women being people, AND women being lesbians because that means that they can't get a head (lol get rekt :P)

Manhunt (SFM) - The Journalist's Downfall

After the events that transpired in Carcer City the Journalist was never the same.

Doctor: You were found walking the streets a couple weeks after you filed that report. In tears, with a knife. That sounds pretty ill to me.

Journalist: Yes, I posted the story and then I couldn't sleep. I thought I could deal with things. You know, you know this crap. Does it surprise you even I could diagnose what is wrong with me post traumatic stress of whatever the hell you call in. And let's be straight about it I, I did experience trauma. You know not trauma like my cat died or I'm a fat load or any that shit. I saw a man get killed, by the state. A man get killed by the state with a priest and prison guys and in the chair. I was behind the glass. I saw him die and then I spoke to him, to Cash.

*Carcer City makes Liberty City, Los Santos and Vice City all look like paradises.*

Thru the Riff is an 18+ interactive fiction revolving around music and the paranormal. It follows you, a journalist working for Star-Dust Magazine, in your newest gig of “interviewing” the members of the “hottest rock band” around, MANHUNT. You’ll work to uncover the bands secrets in your own… creative ways, and find out the truths as to why their stardom is surrounded by scandal.

Content Warnings: violence, foul language, suggestive themes, substance abuse, possession and other paranormal related themes, and more.

You’ve spent the past three years of your life trying to climb the corporate ladder at Star-Dust Magazine, a magazine focusing on the secrets and personal lives of the biggest bands and musicians of your time. You were hired as a journalist alongside your best friend, and have worked on countless jobs and interviews together, most of them being your best work despite your bosses trepidation.

However, your most recent jobs have seemingly all ended as busts, your boss describing them as “fluff pieces” rather than the raw, true pieces that she wants. She’s given you an ultimatum: give her something truly fitting for Star-Dust, or she’ll refer you to a different career path.

Seemingly at rock bottom, you’re given a golden opportunity — MANHUNT, one of the biggest rock bands around, has gone viral for a scandal revolving around one of the members volatile departure from the band. It’s the perfect opportunity to use the bands mystery to your advantage.

The bad news? MANHUNT has never accepted written or filmed interviews that they can’t control, and they’ve refused countless interview invitations from Star-Dust in the past. The good news? Now with their rhythm guitarist very publicly leaving the band, they have to open auditions to replace her.

If only things could be as simple as they seem.

Customize your main characters gender, pronouns, physical appearance, personality and views. As well as choose their skill and interest in music, and their belief in the occult. Do they like the kind of music MANHUNT creates? Can they play any instruments themselves? Do they believe in any sort of occult or spiritual beings? How do those questions tie together? Only one way to find out.

Audition to join the band! MANHUNT needs a new rhythm guitarist, and you see this as the perfect opportunity to get an insider look on the band. Will you be genuine or secretive with your audition? Meet your future bandmates and impress or disappoint them.

Choose from four romance options; MANHUNT’s distant lead singer who has more secrets than they let on, MANHUNT’s drummer who has integrated you into the band without complaint, your guitar tech who has taken a special interest in you, or your best friend who has tagged along for the job.

Develop friendships with the rest of the band and help or destroy MANHUNT’s public image.

Oh, and don’t forget to write your piece for Star-Dust, your job literally depends on it. Find out as much as you can. Find out too much. Don’t get hurt.

Maxim / Maxine “Max” Hawke (RO, gender selectable) — The rather broody lead singer of MANHUNT. Max is the perfect fit for a rockstar, broody in their personal life but an all-out force of energy on stage, wooing crowds of thousands (and mortifying their parents) without issue. As personable as they appear to be on stage, they seem like they want nothing to do with you. It’ll be difficult getting close to them, especially with how odd they seem to be acting offstage.

Roman / Romona Woods (RO, gender selectable) — MANHUNT’s drummer who has a roguish appearance with a heart of gold. They may not look like the most approachable of people, but they’ll surprise you with their boundless energy and bubbly social skills. They’re the most accepting of your arrival to the band so far and are genuinely excited to get to know you.

Beck Moreau (RO, they/them) — Your own personal guitar tech! Well, not technically yours as they used to be Willa’s tech before she left but, regardless they’re tagging along to MANHUNT’s shows and maintaining your equipment for you. They’re loud and can be pretty irritating, and they seem to have a special interest in pushing your buttons. Can you handle the headache they give you?

Gabriel / Gabrielle Moretti (RO, gender selectable) — Your quiet, kind hearted best friend from your childhood. The two of you have been thick as thieves since you were young, and somehow you found yourselves tackling the same career path in adulthood. They’re kind and have been there for you throughout your struggles working for Star-Dust. They decided to come along with you on your newest job to “keep you safe” but, is that really… it?

… and be prepared to meet the rest of the band!

Finn Kellett (he/him), MANHUNT’s perpetually tired manager, Nex Warren (he/they), MANHUNT’s apathetic bassist who couldn’t care less about your arrival, Juliet Beckford (she/her), MANHUNT’s energetic lead guitarist who has a special interest in the unknown, and Willa Perez (she/her), MANHUNT’s rhythm guitarist before you came along, of whom you know very little about.

Author’s Note: Thru the Riff is a passion project of mine (Wil) and Elliot’s, so development will be entirely based on our free time and understanding of how to create our first interactive fiction. We hope you’ll enjoy what we create!
