[saateco]

I found this post about Sokol very interesting, and I, as a person who really loves this character and, as it happens, is russian, would like to discuss this topic.

I in no way want to seem like I'm attacking or being negative in my post, I just want to express my point of view.

One of the reasons that a lot of people like him, especially from CIS, is that he plays very often on Russian stereotypes, showing off as an absolutely typical Russian dude who rides bears, drinks vodka, plays balalaika and such shit, еhe kind of thing that foreigners usually think about when they represent Russians. It’s even funny how smoothly it works in his case and how often it is taken seriously by others. TO BE A RUSSIAN ≠ CHARACTER TRAIT, no one likes looking at stuff only referred to stereotypes, in which the national affiliation of a character to a country should not somehow affect his perception as a person. The same applies to real people. Again, Sokol often pretends to be stereotypical Russian for his own gain, for example in his pager responses. This strategy does work (speaking as a Russian who has spoken to people around the world) just as well as it works in his case.    There is nothing strange in the fact that a person (russian person, since it is so important) combines sports interests and knowledge of some technical sciences. There were a lot of kids at my school who were professionally involved in sports and at the same time had deep knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry and computer science. For me personally, this is quite a common set, many guys are interested in sports and technical sciences, and I don't see anything strange in the fact that Sokol could build a BFD. Yes, he did it only once, and I can assume that it was ordered by Bain. It's not like he built some kind of flying thing that can read minds or control minds. It's just a drill, just really big. In fact, BFD is not a new invention that was completely developed from scratch and designed by Sokol. It fell on his shoulders to assemble this drill from a disassembled form. Potentially, if you have the drawings of the BFD in your hands, which are shown during the planning of the Golden Grand Casino, both Wolf and Houston and Chains could assemble it. Most likely, this robbery was his trial and the assembly was assigned to him as a “test task.” He doesn't show extraordinary engineering skills, which is why his dialogues aren't based on that, because it would just be pointless.

The description of Sokol consists of the fact that he is a talented robber, and not just a dumb Russian hockey player who only knows how to shoot and use brute force. “Despite his youth, Sokol has everything to become a legendary player. A gifted athlete, Sokol also has a sharp mind and understands his role in the team. He's fearless and physically strong, and he uses that to get to the enemy, whether it's a hockey team or special forces.”

He also engaged in robbery alone, and never caught the eye of the police until a certain point.

“Like Hoxton, Sokol began a life of crime at a fairly young age. By the time he was accepted into the gang, Sokol had already had many successful robberies of banks and casinos.”

Bain invited him to join the gang, and Bain would not invite a man who is just a hockey player and does not represent anything else.

“Despite this, the Russian police surrounded him. Sokol eluded them, but knew that his time as an independent robber was coming to an end. Only one person had the resources and insight to identify him: Bane. Sokol was offered a place in the Payday gang and a ticket to Las Vegas for the robbery of his life."

What does communism have to do with it?????

“russian which means jacket wouldn't like him”

There was not a drop of negativity or hate in any of Jackett's remarks addressed to the Sokol. All of Jackett's remarks to Sokol are neutral. Besides, the Jacket from pd2 is not a Jacket from h&m, I don't see any reason for him to hate Russians. 

If the developers wanted to show that Jackett hates the Sokol, they would have added replicas to it, as they did in the case of Hoxton and Houston. There is an obvious mutual dislike between them, when, as in the case of Sokol and Jacket, Sokol is simply infuriated by the fact that Jackett communicates through a dictaphone.

Overall we wanted to say that every community will be better without harmful stereotypes, since it’s making real people's life worse tbh (at least me and a lot of my friends had a bad experience in different shapes and forms with those stereotype stuff)

sokol is a fucking hilarious character

the purpose he serves as a character in payday 2’s story is so fucking funny his skillset is so god damn funny. but like. not even unrealistic

he has so many gimmicks

hes relevant for three seconds in the grand scheme of the payday story

hes.. russian. he is a professional hockey player. he- he can. build. shed-sized laser cutting drills

why can he do that who let him do that

he never mentions his engineering prowess in any of his voice lines (iirc)

he just. can do that

it gives someone with adhd taking their adderall for the first time and it kicking in right as theyre browsing the wikipedia article for nuclear fission and next thing they know theyre wanted by the fbi

its not like its unrealistic for people to have more than one interest but its just so funny how unrelated and irrelevant sokols engineering knowledge seems when put next to everything else about him. especially since theres already other characters who fill the role of awesome engineer dude already

houston isnt THE engineer but hes the mechanic and wolf literally has his own workshop

sokol made. the fucking bfd.

and his primary character trait isnt even that

its communism

his engineering smarts are like the last thing anyone remembers about his personality and it is the reason in lore why he is in the payday gang

sokols attributes in the order most often noticed by people who get into this game

russian

hockey

russian which means jacket wouldnt like him

burgers

prison nightmare voice lines

HE MADE THE FUCKING BFD..

THE BFD!!

Soft cloths

Huston has some fun when hox atempts to screw him over.

---

-...quite

Dallas looked over at the 4 who were assigned on the mission.

It was a simple jewellery heist, just snagging some pretty crystals and handing them over for some girl who wanted to make a quick buck.

The 4 however had been pulled out of bed, and so their sluggish nature had not made them that attention worthy.

Jacket, Houston, Hoxton, Sokol had all bees sting half asleep around the table, the map infront all of them and 3 at least zoning out and back into dreams.

-go it?

The voice was firm, Dallas and the gang as a hole had to uphold a reputation and so even a small one like this held a lot of weight.

3 all are able to nod, the 4th a bit too dull to take notice but his body moved enough to convince Dallas he had heard.

-all dismissed, be ready in a couple hours.

They all get up, each makes small conversation with one another as they head for a couple more minutes of sleep. Being woken up at midnight was not a good experience even if some heists were known to be done in the mists of the black sky.

as the clock ticked by and each member woke up and got ready, one was left asleep a bit longer than the others

Houston had been getting on Hoxes nerves recently, so sneaking in just before the alarm was to go off, he silenced the clock, leaving the poor heister with no warning as to when to wake.

leaving as quickly as he came, he got ready himself.

…

-Where is Houston?

Silent rapid footsteps were heard just after those words were muttered, someone runs over to the gang of 3…one of which was snickering and attempting to keep quiet

-Houston?

-sorry, my alarm didn't go off…woke up late

-you can't get away with something like that

-at least I was kinda on time. I promise it won't happen again.

-alright, now get in, you lot will be off to the shop soon.

as the 4 members pack themselves into the van, each checks over their personnel, whether everything was ok or not. with each member all happy with their result, they all sit in silence for twitch to take them to the shop they would be stealing from.

of course wandering eyes don't miss the others choice of clothing…and Jacket is the first to notice something off

for everyone in the square formation, one set of shoes stood out…

They were dark, yes, but their texture made Jacket raise an eyebrow and he lifted his eyes to the face with the odd one out.

meeting Houston's timid eyes, Houston looks away and shimmies his legs, attempts to hide the offending pair from a everyone else

Jacket smiles and Houston can almost feel how Jacket was about to voice his predicament, but holding his tongue, he thinks everything he knows when the van eventually stops.

with Jacket looking a bit closer once everyone is out of the van, he takes notice of the clothing he wore…

it wasn't the usual tie and blazer.. well it was…just not the usual material

it was soft, like a plushie…but at a glance, anyone could mistake it for the real deal.

As a smirking jacket makes eye contact with some very piercing eyes from Houston, Houston almost goes on a rant in his mind of why he is like this.

having woken up groggy…he takes a second to relish in the full night's sleep he got…but then it hits him…he shouldn't be feeling like this.

bolting upright, he spins a look at the clock, and it's much later than he would have liked.

The next couple minutes he had a haze, and feeling all the clothes he had, nothing was in any condition to be worn.

so, picking out the last resort he had in situations like this, he had ended up also putting on the wrong shoes by reflex…the slippers.

They were full soft, nothing like the usual business pair the others wore, solid bottoms that emanated clicks as any hard surface made contact. they were instead full soft, the type that instead slipped across tile flooring and those you would put on after a bath.

As Sokol and Hoxton spoke to one another of the plan, Jacket had been a bit behind with Houston…and nudging his arm, the two once again made eye contact that was laced with different feelings.

as Hoxton looks behind him, Jacket and Houston look forwards towards him as reflex

-we are heading in soon wankas. get ready.

With both pulling out a poker face, they split and quickly get the vitals, eventually following the now in motion Hoxton and Sokol.

The heist had been going ok.

Houston mostly stuck around the back and covered their tracks as Hoxton and jacket were round the front, keeping eyes on the guards and trying to plan out what needed to be done before anyone could engage in the pretty accessories.

but to Houston dismay, he was needed round the front about half way through the mission.

The hallway had been long, a lot of places to hide and a risk for whoever were to run down.

they needed to flick a lever and the marbling floors did no good at hiding their appearance.

the trio all looked at Houston who was the quiet one, the one who could make it back and forth with no trouble 

of course they didn't know of the predicament he was in and so taking a shaky breath  Houston walked forward to see what the others wanted.

-over there, there is a leaver in that room and we need it pulled so we get access to the back doors.

-yea…yea alright.

giving himself a second to get ready, he soon starts sprinting.

Being in a bit of a mood, he uses the clothing he had to his advantage, using it to quietly sprint across and slide into cover when he assumed someone was coming. the rustling of usual clothing was non existent, his soft fabric had given a cover than couldn't really be heard by others 

as he gets to the switch, he almost completely forgets of the trio who he was with.

Now with confidence of using the clothing for something good, he makes his way back and looking at them in expectation, he hopes the gang would just get a move on.

But Sokol and Hoxton had eyes wide, shock laced on their faces that seemed almost comedic in Houston's eyes. Jacket was miming a laugh, his voice non existent but an echo still gave Houston time to figure out what it was

-how did we not notice that before?

-what?

-...what are you wearing, loverboy?!

The shock was exchanged with a laugh, now along with Jacket the duo had a giggle. Sokol was the only one really to encouraging Houston more than anything

-that is good. very interesting to wear to a heist but it work well

-thanks…now can we please get a move on?

-y-yea shur, lets go 

Hoxtons laugh soon died down and as the sudo leader, he makes his way to the front and takes the gang through the rest of the plan.

By the end, the smooth tiling of the shop had given Houston a bit of fun. His threads so soft against the flooring it reminded Sokol of his ice hockey career, flying around on the ice and having fun. Houston too had a laugh when Hoxton got irritated…Hoxton now kinda peeved he couldn't have fun either, couldn't outperform Houston.

Eventually, the heist had finished, the gang of 4 piled into the van and surrounded by the jules they had gotten. The 3 all had less flexible materials on, so Houston was really the only person to relax onto the crystals with comfort.

trip back was calm, and at base, Houston was a lot happier than in the morning, not wasting any time getting back to his room and getting some sleep

-what's with him?

-he got an ego boost

-from what?

-*soft materials slide better on tile flooring than other plastics, this can be used to slide to places and have fun*

-yea…that…

-....he what?

taking off his jacket, Houston relaxes into the bed and closes his eyes with a huff.

Just before he had fallen asleep, he quickly shimmies over to check the clock…someone had turned off the alarm.

already assuming who it was, he huffs his irritation away. 

luckily it wasn't too bad today, but he will have to give Hoxton a taste of his own medicine at some point…that would definitely be funny

Decided to draw my favorite PayDay boys

[aethkai]

headcanon numero uno (Hotline Miami + Payday 2)

SHIT I FORGOT I NEED TO DO SOME HEADCANONS SORRY SCHOOL HAS BEEN A BITCH HGSJHDAksgjok this topic is gonna be,,,,

[If (character) was your roommate]

(I know there isn’t all of the Hotline Miami/Payday 2 characters but bare with me cries)

(Hotline Miami/Hotline Miami 2)

Biker:

- He would throw pillows at you here and there, even if you didn't expect it. You would grab it and whack it him with the pillow harder.

 - You kind of push him off the bed, couch, wherever. It's kind of hilarious how he wakes up and screams.

 - Biker tends to smack cheese on your head and you just-

 - [smacks cheese on his head] - "."  - "WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH ALL THESE CHEE-"

- jacket wakes up and tells you two to shut the fuck up in sign language.

You still horseplay around with him like siblings.

Jacket:

- Man, this guy is so weird that you don't even know what his bad side is like 

- You would like- tap this guy's shoulder and ask him what he’s doing. He could usually be playing video-games such as rhythm games, violent shoot-em-ups, or maybe even peaceful games to keep his mind off things.

- Expect pizza.

Expect it.

If he eats pizza, you eat pizza with him and that’s by law. 

- You two are eventually best friends although he doesn’t talk much.

The Son:

- god u hate this son of a bitch but at the same time u don’t want him to go

- Your day goes off by your favorite snacks being gone. 

- Then, eventually, you noticed your stuff was missing like pens, pencils, you name it.

-eventuallyyounoticedhestoleeverythinglikeyourgirl/boy/signifcantotherandshit

- what is this dudes problem

- When he came back home, you confronted him about the problems today and he just gave off a simple roll of the eyes and a shrug.

- You couldn’t do anything about it but whack him hard with a pillow.

- A pillow fight has begun and ended at 2 am in the morning.

- I guess you can say it went well...

(Payday 2)

Sokol:

This poor boy is so cold yet he doesn’t mind it pls give him a blanket oh lord

- You always try to talk to him in poor Russian, but he doesn’t mind because he knows that you’re trying your best and not mocking him.

- He would give you a small little wave here and there, still not speaking...

- You were always curious about him because he was always silent to you but not to others like his friends and such. You wonder if he has something against you. 

- Because of that, you decided to go to his side of the room and see his equipment of hockey gear and sticks, even his team shirt or such.

- You leave him and his stuff alone until you were stopped by him speaking out, “Hey, it’s late. What are you still doing up?”

“O-Oh nothing I was just, uh- cleaning the parts around here-”

- “No you weren’t, something is bothering you about me?”

- “I mean- yeah kind of. You barely talk to me. Is something wrong?”

- “...I barely talk to you because I’m too shy to talk to you.”

- Once you heard that, both of you started talking more and more and get to know each other better!

Hoxton:

- You hate his behavior sometimes because it is either grumpy or just plain rude. 

- but at the same time, you’re scared to confront this man jeeesus

- You eventually did and just- expected the same thing. More grumpiness. However, it soon stopped after you kept confronting him about it.

- Sooner or later, out of nowhere, he starts to apologize.

- You would tell him that it’s fine and that is was nothing, you excused it as work may be stressing him out or some sort.

- He has been venting to you later after that, showing the stuff he has been hiding and making him feel that way.

- Telling him that you will always be there for him makes him a bit happier.

Sydney:

Sydney is off the shits and nobody can disagree with me.

- You two are like siblings almost- soul mates? I don’t know- what I am trying to say is that you both like to watch burning stuff go down to the ground OR you just like to peacefully draw and talk.

- She is like your art therapist, it’s amazing.

- If someone was bothering you severely, she would most likely find where they live with some of Joy’s or Bain’s help and splash their house with eggs. - Moral of story, do not fuck with Sydney’s friends
