There's been a lot of discussion lately about this fandom so I just wanted to spread some positivity to everyone in the fandom.
Thank you to the people who still post even after a full year in the fandom when you didn't have to.
Thank you to the people who still write fanfictions, headcanons, still take and post screenshots no matter how long it takes, or how much editing or proofreading goes into it.
Thank you to the people who keep posting silly things about Hogwarts legacy.
Thank you to the people who don't get a lot of interaction but still have a lot of good content. I appreciate you very much. :)
Thank you to the people who post about underrated characters.
Thank you to everyone in this fandom that has made it worth while. It's been a bit of a bumpy ride but we're still here! Love you all so much and thank you! ❤️❤️
My goodness, I wonder what other behind-the-scenes gems that the cast may share with us following the new streaming boost 🥰 I’m so excited to see more people discover this criminally underrated masterpiece!
This piece of dessert I’m drooling over is from the wonderfully talented Cristos Lawton who plays Lt. George Hodgson.
The extended Richards family was recently visited by MCCC so I decided to check in on the new couples (and play matchmaker with some old ones).
First up, Gavin's side of the family:
Brett Richards (cousin) & Tia Richards (who remembers her??)
Laila Delgato (cousin) & Pierce Delgato
Emerson Johnson (cousin) & Greta Johnson
Zoe Richards-Johnson (auntie) & Chris Johnson. Gavin had to play cupid for this one. Zoe and Chris divorced awhile ago due to infidelity. Gavin noticed there was still a spark between them despite the past mistakes and encouraged them to talk. They recently started dating again and things are looking really good. Fun fact: Zoe was the matchmaker for Gavin & Brooklyn.

Brooklyn's side of the family:
Solomon Ware (cousin) & Rainier Ware
Eden Ware (auntie) & Don Lothario & Marcus Flex. Not a poly relationship, just non exclusive ones after failed marriages and divorces. She has been seeing Don longer, but is feeling Marcus a lot more. Don't know if she'll include anyone else in her roster but we shall see where this all goes.
no idea if anyone has pointed this out but just. thinking about the similarities between the lords in black and the other characters the actors play in npmd
wiggly/richie
-the reason i noticed this to begin with, their weird speech patterns. how they space out words in unnatural sounding ways
pokey/solomon lauter
-both want their voice to be the only one heard (whatever he said about yada yada im trying to have an intelligent conversation so shut up to steph)
blinky/ruth
-ruth just wants to be the center of attention. all eyes on her. all eyes.
-also blinky was kind of a perv in watcher world
nibbly/karen chastity
-in the album version of hatchet town shes accused of being a cannibal. need i say more?
and like. i cant think of anything great for tinky and any other curt character<//3

So cloning exists in Cyberpunk but for the clone to function, it must be installed with an AI, I have another theory that maybe Mr. Blue Eyes might be Richard Night who was turned into an engram and installed into a clone body with Night Corp mastering the whole rogue AI thing before Militech and Arasaka so they can control the world.
it fits Richard Night after all, he chose Jefferson because he knows he's the most worthiest to lead Night City while he can be his puppet at the same time. With the state of Night City, I think Richard is legit trying to save it but if he appears again then his enemies will no doubt try to kill him again.
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY TO COME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : D
Okay so. Shit. where do I start.
Be prepared to read.
In 1977 there were two college students in New York, Solomon Bruno and Richard Mann, who were childhood friends experimenting on rats in Solomon's mother's basement trying to increase the longevity of their lives. Right? Right.
This next sequence of events is what leads to Richard becoming an evil, homicidal billionaire and leads to Solomon joining the anti-Rich INC activist group known as the Mortal Men,
who is trying to prove Immortality is quite literally made of the blood of the innocent-
One night Richard and Solomon are outside a diner and there's a cute girl inside, they flip a coin and ultimately decide that Richard is the one who gets to talk to her- Her name is Helen, she's studying at Harvard to become a lawyer. They begin dating.
On Richard's 21st birthday Helen throws him a huge house party which he pretends to like, even though Solomon knows better and knows he doesn't enjoy those types of social gatherings.
Richards not enjoying himself and ultimately decides to leave, he tells Helen who accidentally lets the words "I love you" slip from her mouth. Ruh-roh, Richard says NOTHING back and just. Leaves.
Solomon sees Helen rush upstairs, crying, and goes to check on her.
One thing leads to another, and, they be boinking.
ANYYYYWAYS fast forward like two months later and Helen goes on a trip to Africa (she loves elephants and endangered species) and Solomon is trying to deal with his guilt of sleeping with his best friends girlfriend, he's wondering if he should tell him.
One night, while one of the newer testing rats is in the same cage with the oldest test rat- the elderly rat eats the younger one. And, surprisingly, it starts displaying signs of youthfulness again! Its gray hairs disappear and it starts behaving like a younger rat.
So, Solomon and Richard, not thinking about the implications of this strange development, just decide to celebrate their accomplishment! Yay!
They smoke some herbage, they drink some drinkage, they're havin' a good time !
They turn on music, they're slow dancing! Like friends do!
And then Solomon, thinking about his guilt and sleeping with Helen is like, "Hey, I have to tell you something."
And Richard straight up goes, "You don't have to tell me anything," And he kisses Solomon on the mouth.
But wuh-oh. Solomon punches him in the eye! .... Not cool dude !
he yells at Richard to "get the fuck out" of his house . And uh. yeah they're not friends anymore. To say the least.
A few months later when Helen is back in town, Solomon gets into a car crash when a black cat runs in the road and he swerves out of the way.
He ends up in the hospital, sedated, when Richard shows up and has him sign this document Helen wrote up. Which, he does, not knowing it's basically a false admission that he had NOTHING to do with the development of immortality and that he owns no rights to the profits or credit.
Which.
The actual story takes place in 1999 and it follows:
A young man named Jasper, who is an aspiring writer from Canada living in a dingy apartment in New York with his hairless cat named Ugly. He ends up working for Rich INC as Richard's assistant.
A young woman named CJ, who is the leader and founder of the Mortal Men, her life's work is to take down Richard, and avenge her brother who went missing four years prior. 👀
Solomon, who is now a jaded and bitter forty year old man who has dedicated his time to trying to fighting Richard any way he can and getting the credit he deserves, throwing away his life in the process.
Richard, who is now a cold and compassionless horrifying billionaire who gets away with everything he does, has the world in the palm of his hand and feels he still has nothing that he wants.
And Helen, Richard's unloved wife who is perpetually trying to fill the void of the dreams she lost.
UHHHHHHHHH
