Little things, they do (Alex, Soap, König) (headcannons)

Masterlist

Part 2 (Price, Ghost, Gaz) here

Ok, guys, first of all, thank you all for giving this little sketch THAT much love. Honestly, I'mm shocked. I'm blaming mister Riley here, but boy, thank you so-so-so much for 100 beautiful followers. I`ve actually had something for this milestone, but I was sure, it would be hit somewhere in the end of the summer. Hope, you like it!

Little things, they do, that get you every time. Silly, warm, heart-melting, wholesome things.

Alex Keller

Almost unconsciously lowers his head to stay on your eye-level whenever you two are sitting at a table and chatting.

If you are cooking and even insisting on doing it solo (maybe it's just your thing, maybe you like to have more room in the kitchen), he is never leaving you. He will just sit there and keep you company, or tell you some stories, or maybe find a youtube video for you both to listen to, while you're doing your magic.

Talking about your cooking, he never turns down anything, you've made. Never. “Alex, don't take that bun, I burnt it!” Eats it anyway, because it's your effort that counts and makes anything you cook so special to him.

If you are dating, and he needs to go early in the morning, he covers your eyes with the corner of his blanket (very carefully so as not to wake you up!). That way, he can turn on the light and collect his clothes without waking you up.

Def pulls you closer in his sleep. Buries his face in your hair, mumbles some sweet nonsense, places a soft kiss on the top of your head. (by gods I need more headcanons on this man sleeping)

Sometimes just stops whatever he is doing to say “I love you” and give you a kiss. The fridge is still open, his sweater is halfway off him, his hands still wet and water runs on uncleaned dishes? Doesn't matter, the kiss is what important to him.

Johnny Soap MacTavish

Once Price saw how you two interact and commented it like “Looks like our Tweedledum finally found his Tweedledee…” And while other pairs could get offended, you two weren't bothered at all (you're two chaotic crows, nothing can stop you!). In fact, from that moment anything he buys or makes for you, comes with a small handwritten note, saying, “to: my Dee. from: your Dum.”

Once he cooked an absolutely amazing pie. You were practicaly moaning, while savouring it and he just sat there all bright with pride. In a few years you saw the same kind of pie in a menu in the pub, where you were supposed to meet Johnny and others from the 141. Once you pointed it out to Johnny, others flinched and looked at each other. In response to your uncomprehending look, one of them admits that Soap was so worried that you would not like his cooking that he practiced at the base for several weeks. Because of it, their diet consisted only of Johnnys` pies for these weeks.

Has no concept of “too girly stuff”. Will gladly go shopping with you, paint your nails, help you dye your hair at home, if you feel like it. Will sneak your eye patches, because they smell so nice, and he feels so fresh after using them!

During his deployments, sends you tons of the most random photos just to calm you down and cheer you up (because every time you are too scared, this could be his last mission). “Ok, bonnie, this time I present you the collection of random rocks, I've met on work.” For the next week, you keep getting… exactly that. Photos of rocks with short comments like “Here's wee one.”

You don't know why the last photo he sent you that week was a photo of some guy in a creepy mask. You also don't have a single idea, why Johnny then goes radio silent for two days and why he has a brand-new phone, when he's back.

König

You have a stiff back? He will gladly take you by the hands and lift you up so that your spine is extended. "König! No, no, wait, don't, OH!... Oh… Sweet mother of jesus, I actually feel better..."

Even if you are just friends, and you are staying over at his place - he presents you with a shampoo, shower gel, conditioner and body lotion of EXACTLY the same brands as you're using at home. He just notes these small things and wants you to feel relaxed and taken care of when you're around him. 

You can call him anytime on any occasion and if his phone is on, he will answer in SECONDS. You had a bad dream, and it's 4 am, and he lives on the other end of the town? In another town even? No problems, he answers almost immediately and comes to you as soon as he can. Even if It's just to hold you for 15-20 minutes, while you slowly drift to sleep, and then to drive back to his place for another good hour. 

Thanks you for everything, and not only verbally! Writes small notes and leaves them on your bag or just straight gives them to you. He doesn't take anything for granted. Every your intention is a gift for him.

And that goes not only for the time, when you two have just met each other. You are his wife or husband since 10 years, you already have 2-3 beautiful kids? He still writes you notes, thanking you for the most incredible goodnight kiss, you gave him yesterday (every your goodnight kiss is the most incredible to him).

I got sick and wrote an essay prt 1

(Sources missouri wild life, Wikipedia and dum stuff I randomly know this is nor a real essay 💅🔥✨️)1.Alligator snapping turtles(Macrochelys temminckii)They are very large with sharp scutes and sharp beaks. the plastron and beaks looks a lot like water logged wood as a way of hiding from prey there found exclusively in the United States, from northern Florida to eastern Texas and as far north as Iowa. They are basicly all aquatic. tend to stay submerged and motionless for so long that algae begins to grow on their shells!(not to be confused with shell rot) They can go 50 minutes before needing to surface for air, these turtles almost never come on land(not counting females when laying eggs). River systems, lakes, and wetland are their main habitats.Their tongue allows them to catch prey they have a small red and or pinklishes tongue and wiggle it To attract an unsuspecting victim,(dun dun dun) this turtle will lay on the bottom of the riverbed and open his jaws. A fish that gets tricked by the turtle’s tongue(womp womp) will swim right into the range of the hungry predator’s beaks.they can also actively search for prey by tasting chemicals in the water that are indicative of a particular species(way cool). This way, even when their prey is hiding in the sediment, they can still sense them very very cool(thats two verys). Some myths claim that alligator snapping turtles are known to attack people, but this isn’t the case(how rude). But with a bite force of 1,000 pounds, their powerful jaws can snap through they can (depending on the size) bite off you hole hand but don't attempt to hurt humans unless provoked, so dont try to hold them unless your trained they do start off small but grow gigantic so unless you have a lot of food practice and thick gloves i would not keep them as a house pet(but fr dont get them as pets unless you research and know a lot)plants are 1/3 diet but mostly smaller reptiles fish and insect anything they can catch I have no clue if they are able to make sound I looked for like twenty minutes :( 2.spiny soft shelled turtel (Apalone spinifera)The eastern spiny softshell mainly inhabits large rivers and streams, but it also lives in lakes, large ponds, and even roadside and irrigation ditches.(it likes mud a lot) It is most common in tributaries and closed side channels of the Mississippi River. This species can tolerate a variety of bottom substrates, including mud, sand, or gravel.The eastern spiny softshell is active between late March and October.it is very aggressive(rabid Lil guys).Daily activity includes foraging for food in early morning, basking in the sun like on logs or along the bank,(it can breathe above air and in water)and resting in shallow water with the shell covered by mud or sand like the true kings and queens they are. There is a short period of feeding during the afternoon and evening that may extend into the night. They mostly sleep in mud but trees and stumps.Spiny softshells have a habit of floating near the surface in deep water but will quickly dive to safety with the slightest disturbance.To escape the cold temperatures of winter, this species will bury itself in a few inches of mud or sand at the bottom of a river, lake, exetra starting in October or November. A study of turtles on the Osage River in St. Clair County showed that they mainly ate crayfish and aquatic insects with an occasional fish. This turtle is not a threat to Missouri’s game fish populations.They often lie buried in mud, sand, and shallow water. By extending the head and neck so that the snout just breaks the surface, they can breathe in a snorkel-like manner. All softshells are mainly carnivorous. They actively search for and pursue prey or capture it by ambush so they literally pop off...then kill things I mean who hasn't They quote "eat anything that can fit in their mouth" they make clicking chips and hisses and if given the chance would bite off your knee caps

Daphne threw her head back with a dramatic fake laugh before dropping her eyes back to her sister with a withering look she didn't mean, "Hey," she said softer, "do you think you could put little gems on your fangs?" She tilted her head, "Like a little diamond or some like tiny little flower gem. Might be cute, better than your sucky pun." She teased. Daphne nodded knowingly, the industry while making some changes was still rife with a terrible diet culture that paved paths for disordered eating. "So if I made a blood chocolate cake, would it make the chocolate richer to you?"she wondered aloud while mentally trying to figure out what the blood to water ration conversion would be for a cake. Daphne sighed a bit and took a sip of her coffee, "It'd make sense to me...if it gets hots like why wouldn't it work?" Daphne reached across the table to take her sisters hand, "You don't have to remember it for it to matter," she said softly but nodded, "I'm glad you don't...for whatever that's worth, I'm just relieved you survived," and she did, for as far as Daphne could tell. "I don't understand what this must be like for you. I know it's different to put lightly, but I just- I mean, whatever you need I'm here for you."

Daphne's nose crinkled, "It's a ghost," she agreed with a sure nod. "If your soul leaves your body that's a ghost. I adore Bex, but that's ghost mode....don't do it again tho if you can help it, sounds risky." The more she learned the stranger she believed this place was. She had once believed the world was full of all the oddities and strangeness that she could know. She wasn't often proved wrong in her beliefs, but this time at least some good came from it. Daphne laughed, "I never thought you knew anything anyway, dum dum," she teased fondly; she didn't mean it. No, there was always this strange and deep understanding she had for her sisters. A love so tangled into the pieces of who she was that it hurt her to think of what life would be like without them. Worse, it traumatized her to have known what it was like without Ronnie. "You can practice right?" Daphne's face paled into seriousness, giving a small shake left and right, up and down and knitting her brows together, "Is there a lot of townie on townie murder happening here?" She whispered, leaning closer, "Like some sort of underbelly cover-up?" She didn't believe it, not really but in this place anything felt possible.

Daphne's chest tightened, guilt settling like a stone in the pit of her stomach, "I love..." she took a pause, adverting her eyes, "When you died, it was all I cared about. You know his parents, the image, the hell they could have put him through if he couldn't control me," Daphne rolled her eyes, "Half a life, a ruined life...I had to find where the hell your body had gone, and I had a lead through this real odd PI who was so cagey, Ron. I had to basically promise them my firstborn to get them to give me the information that led me here. So I had to leave without telling him up front," Daphne explained knowing that had she given him the chance he could have talked her out of it, could have convinced her to stay...she would have resented him for it, and loved him anyway.

"I wrote him a letter explaining, telling him as much as I could," she shrugged and in her heart she knew it was a cowards way, not enough by any stretch of the word. It was still all she had, it was the only truth she clung to. "I gave him a choice. I filed the divorce papers and left a letter. He had the choice to choose this half-life I could offer him or let me go." She shrugged her slim shoulders, "so if he loved me, in the end, he decided it wasn't worth it. He never replied, never called...now he is just here, and every time I'm reminded of it, it's like the wind is knocked out of me all over again...he didn't come for me, or for us...it's like some cosmic joke." Daphne huffed, "I'll be okay...just if you see him, it's not his fault okay. I fucked this up. But don't tell him I said that. Or anyone because I'll fucking deny it."

"Well, thank fuck for that, because you'd look like a ghoul if you got too pale," Daphne grimaced, gesturing about her sister's face, "Take your victories, you deserve them," Daphne said, knocking her coffee cup against her sisters in a sort of cheers. She'd live forever...one day Daphne would die, but Ronnie would still be here. She would survive and as long as it was a good life, a life she was happy to be living, then it would be fine. Daphne could live with that. Daphne snorted, "Okay...you may have all the time, but I am tenacious. Some would say stubborn but six one, half dozen. We are who we are and I'm not easily scared off," she mused a small smile behind the tip of a coffee cup. "If I get electrocution I'm going to get so good at it that I just give you bad hair days," Daphne gestured around her head, like the static of a balloon making hair stand on ends. "If not I'll just invest in a real nice tazer. Seems like you need it in a town like this."

"But I vant to point out your sucky pun, mwah ha ha," Ronnie said in a shitty Dracula accent, letting her fangs extend on the word "point." Forever was a really long time, period, one that she was constantly trying not to dwell on every single moment of every single day. She wrinkled up her nose slightly, more bemused than anything. "I mean, if you wanna attempt cooking with blood, I'm not gonna stop you. Regular food's fine, though. Not as filling, but, hey. I'm never gonna count calories again, you know?" She started laughing. "No, no, these are witch potions, Daph, not the faeries. Straight from the cauldron or, you know, whatever witches brew potions in. Coffee maker? Can you brew a potion in a coffee maker?" It brewed, right? So it'd make sense, at least to Ronnie. At Daphne's words, though, she lost some of her levity. "It almost doesn't feel worth it," she said softly. "To, you know, be angry or sad or upset. I don't remember turning. I don't remember... you know. I think if I did, I'd be more fucked up over it, but like that whole first week was a major blur." She was glad she didn't remember any of that. She didn't think she'd be able to stomach it.

"Yeah, yeah, they're so a thing, and apparently people see them!" Ronnie said, leaning forward with wide eyes. "And I totally was one. Okay, so, Bex said I wasn't a ghost, I just left my body, but what is that if not a ghost?" she asked, rushing her words. She looked at Daphne, wondering if she wanted to siphon, feeling almost guilty at the thought of it. "I... Okay, like, full disclosure? I also don't want to always know shit," she said, laughing as she rubbed the back of her neck. "I'm also not good at it. I'm a really shitty vampire. I can't figure out how to do the picking and choosing siphoning thing, and it's fun to do this shit where you, like fuck around with the shadows, but I'm terrible at that, too. But, yeah, yeah, I have to siphon to do the shadow magic; any magic, really. Otherwise it's just the other perks." Like breaking doors and running into trees and not sleeping. So fun. "Things are apparently like so much worse if you don't join your club thingy, in the long run. Just don't kill people," she said with a mock sternness. "I don't think they like it when you do that."

Ronnie looked at Daphne with sad eyes. "Is it a half life if it was with someone he loved? I don't... I don't really know the circumstances," she said quietly. "I don't know what you were going through. I don't know how it was with him. I just remember that he really fucking cared about you." It had made her jealous, almost. Daphne had gone through three marriages, sure, but the last one had seemed right. Jesus, if Daphne and Nate couldn't make it, then what fucking hope did Ronnie have? Not that she wanted to make it, right? Not that she had anyone to make it with.

"I can still tan," Ronnie laughed before sobering. "And I... yeah. Yeah, I live forever." She looked down at her drink again. How the tables had turned. Her family had all thought, not too long ago, that they'd outlived her. And now she was the one that would outlive all of them. How fucked up was that? "Hey," Ronnie said, pointing a finger at Daphne. "I thought I was, like, keeping you safe. I'd have kept up the song and dance forever if I thought it meant you wouldn't be stuck here with me and the supporting cast of a fucking Anne Rice novel." Still, she relaxed back in her seat, taking a sip of her coffee and nodding. "Do it for the perks. I got a fancy jacket and a nifty ring. Listen, if they let you chose-- I don't know how that shit works-- but if they let you choose, go for the flamethrower magic or, like, the electrocution shit. Just fucking start zapping people. But not me."

For Dessert I had some red grapes. They were so sweet and crispy. They really hit the spot 🤤

Total Cals: 481

Overall a decent day. My mental health kinda tanked in the afternoon 🫤, but it is what it is. Still staying motivated and ended my night with a bunch of water.

The second you enter the kitchen the hunt for the candy begins

You find the jar in 0.2 seconds “Trust me this ain’t my first rodeo.”

“Aaaah so my fireball sister is an experienced thief then.”

The two of you happily munch on the candy in the kitchen when all of a sudden the two of you heard someone at the door

The two of you turned in sync to see Mother Dearest Amber eyes shining with anger in the dark

“How many times have I told you stealing is bad, and that candy before bed is extremely unhealthy.”

He turned to look at Nobunaga, who looked like a guilty schoolboy “My lord, you are supposed to set the example, how do you expect to be a good big brother if you are influencing her to steal and eat candy before bed.”

Everything was going perfectly according to plan- while Hideyoshi was distracted you snuck a few handfuls of candy in the hidden pockets of you kimono

Once you were done with your mission you chimed in “Yeah big bro how do u expect me to be a good girl when you always dragging me along to steal the candy.”

“Oooooh don’t think I forgot about you, young lady.”

He lectured the two of you for three hours

Hideyoshi sent both of you back to your rooms. 

Luckily Nobunaga’s’sNobunaga’s’s room was right on top of yours and you were experienced in the art of sneaking out to meet up with friends

So you easily climbed up onto his balcony and snuck into his room

The two of you snicked and laughed while munching on candy together

Hideyoshi

“Have you eaten yet today, brushed your teeth, done all your chores.”

Catches you stealing candy at night with Nobunaga again

“How many times have I told you not to eat candy before bed young lady.”

Hideyoshi has full-blown turned into your castle mom

Cue lecture about sneaking out in the middle of the night

The next day the boy broke up with you- cause he a piece o shit

You spent the whole day crying in your room

Cue Mamayoshi barging into your room, cause the maids had informed him that you skipped breakfast!

(ಥ﹏ಥ)

“Who dare break my favourite sister’s heart” (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

“Just show me who he is and I’ll teach that freaken punk a lesson he will never forget” (╬ ಠ益ಠ)

You spent hours crying on his shoulder, Hideyoshi made you some tea and took you to the market to do some retail therapy

You would go to Mamayoshi for advice all the freaken time, you really did see him as a mom

Have boy trouble Hideyoshi is there helping ya out and giving you advice, struggling to do the homework Mitsuhide gave you, Mama will sit for hours helping you, someone Is bullying you? Hideyoshi will mom style cut them

Will take you out to tea all the time, and the two of you will low key spill the tea on all the latest gossip

Kenshin

Treats you like a fragile princess

Will be an extremely doting brother

Will 100% teach you how to defend yourself

Feeling sad, Kenshin will legit find the source of your sadness and freaken kill them

Feeling anxious or insecure, Kenshin will be there wrapping you in a big bear hug while drawing soothing circles on your back. He will soothingly comfort you as your cry on his shoulder

Will summon his army of fluff balls to cuddle with you until that smile is back on your face

You like a boy in the market… forget about it. Kenshin is there glaring at the boy… “He is not good enough for my dearest sister.”

You give Kenshin puppy dog eyes “No way bunny, you are still a baby, definitely not old enough to date. Come on, let go get some tea and pickled plumbs to cheer you up.”

You cant say no to Kenshin especially when he gives you his puppy dog eyes in return 

Will always insist on holing your hand when walking in the market together

Will send you off to bed when it gets too late, the bunnies have taken quite a liking to you so they will accompany you back to your room and cuddle with you

Masamune

“come on lass lets’s go on an adventure.”

“No way the last time we went on an adventure I was almost killed and both of us got an hour-long lecture about the dangers of waterfalls.”

“Where is your sense of adventure kitten.”

“The same place your sense of safety is, non-existent.’

Drags you with him to go hiking, when you were on the top of the mountain you slipped on some loose gravel. Masamune caught you, and both of you went tumbling into a lake

You couldn’t help but laugh

The two of you splashed around in the water until late into the afternoon

“Quick lass let’s sneak in before mother dearest scolds us for.”

Too late he was already waiting for the two of you

Masa will cook you anything and everything your heart desires, when you tell him you’re on a diet cause some boy called you fat Masamune’s eyes widens.

He will bring your favourite dish an place it just under your nose, you can’t help but crumble damn that smell too good to waste, “Fine but my diet starts tomorrow”, (っ˘ڡ˘ς) you say with a mouth full of food

Lol tomorrow never came and that asshole of a boy was never seen again

Sometimes it was hard to tell who the teenager was you or Masamune, the two of you would always joke around pulling pranks on all the castle residents

You were actually pretty thankful Masamune didn’t drink, cause it made you feel like you weren’t missing out on anything during banquets

At the end of the banquets it would always be you, Masa and Mitsuhide left awake and playing card games till dawn

Will leave Shogetsu with you during times of war. The big cat literally destroys everything

“No way masa, ask Mitsunari to watch him, last time when I woke up he shredded everything in my room”, he just grinned at you “That’s what adds to his cuteness”. (=^・^=)

You narrowed your eyes at him “What’s in it for me”. (¬_¬)

“I’ll bring you back a months supply worth of candy and I Masamune Date will owe you a favour”.

You beamed up at him, that would definitely come in handy one day “Fine I’ll do it”. (｡◕‿◕｡)

“Thanks, kitten that’s why you’re my favourite sister”,

You rolled your eyes “I’m your only sister”.

He pats you on the head while chuckling “Exactly” (＾ｕ＾)

Ieyasu

Would have witty battles with the resident porcupine all of the time

Masamune would literally, howl in laughter when the two of you are at it.

You would juts roll your eyes “Not my fault Ieyasu is always so salty.”

The amount of time the two of you have had an eye-rolling contest is ridiculous

Even though the two of you fight like cats and dog you still enjoy Ieyasu’s’sIeyasu’s’s company

Ieyasu actually shows you his soft side

One day a boy broke your heart

You walked into Ieyasu’s room and looked at him ༼ つ ಥ_ಥ ༽つ

Ieyasu rushed to you and wrapped you up in his arms and let you cry it out

“You know what will be fun” Ieyasu asked with a hint of mischief in this emerald eyes

“What” (“･ω･`) you asked sniffing and wiping the last of your tears away

“If we make that punk regret ever breaking your heart.”

You couldn’t help but give him the biggest brightest smile, the two of you snuck out that night and egged his house

You are the only person privileged enough to know Ieyasu’s soft side

The two of you will have a chilli eating contest

Basically ends with you drinking a gallon of milk and losing all sense of taste “Silly girl this isn’t even the hottest peppers yet.”

You will play matchmaker to get Ieyasu a date/lover

He will legit just roll his eyes at the suggestion, he is way too busy with work

“I found the perfect person for you Yasu, they are sweet, kind you know basically an angel and don’t worry they definitely won’t get put off by your contrary personality.”

Yasu raises a brow “Who” (ーー;)

You snicker a little and burst out laughing “MITSUNAR, he is perfect for you.”

Yasu legit spits out the tea he was sipping on, he was turning as red as a tomato

Yasu.exe has stopped working

“I freaken knew it, I’m gonna go tell him right now” (°o°)

“Don’t you dare” (ー_ー)!!

(✿◠‿◠)

(((( ；ﾟДﾟ))) Yasu legit leaps over his desk and tackles you to the ground tickling you until you surrender

“Fine but if the two of you ever get married, I better be your maid of honour.”

Yasu legit just ruffled your hair and rolled his eyes “Yeah yeah whatever just don’t tell him.”

 Hope you liked it, dear! <3

Indian cooking has unconventional style of making or cooking things which make them unique and it has its own cooking techniques, methods and equipments. Various cooking techniques are:

Tadka (tempering): it is the most common way of cooking. It essentially means frying whole spices in a little amount of different oil, ghee or butter. It is the aroma released from the spices which give the unique flavor or taste to the main dish which is being cooked, be it vegetables,dals,legumes,cereals or sometimes chicken,meat,fish etc. A tadka commonly has mustard or cumin seeds in oil.

• Dum (steaming over coal): It is a process of steaming food but without using the actual appliances. A virtual compression is made in the cooking pot.

1. What’s your V’s/OC’s name?

2. 3 facts about your V/OC?

3. In what ways do you see yourself in your V/OC?

4. How many V’s/OC’s do you have?

5. What’s a future idea you have for your next V/OC?

6. Have you played with multiple genders for V or just one?

7. How many times have you either completed or restarted the game?

8. If you could have anyone as a companion in 2077, who would it be?

9. Who is your favourite out of all love interests or ride-alongs?

10. Favourite love interest questline?

1.) Hiro Oda (no relation to Sandayu Oda--just liked the last name)

2.) He has a secret love of baking and Mexican rap music (thanks Jackie), is terrified of water (doesn’t know how to swim) and coffee makes up at least a quarter of his diet

3.) We have a lot of the same hobbies (baking/dancing) and compulsive tidiness/same spicy attitude. He’s definitely more emotionally oblivious though.

4.) Just two, Hiro and his older brother, Avi. The two are on exceedingly poor terms, the latter having gone Corpo.

5.) For the next one--definitely fleshing out Avi a bit more. He has a bit of backstory but it’s fairly vague. I’d like to dig deeper into his personality/quirks.

6.) I’m playing with a female version of Hiro right now so I can do the romance paths I was locked out of last time. Not very far in my playthrough though. Trying to pace myself though and not rush through it too much. 

7.) I’ve gotten two of the endings with Hiro--the very bad one and the Devil ending. Trying to get that bad ones out of the way first before I chicken out and do the (slightly) less bleak ones. Technically this is my third attempt at a playthough though--I got very close to completing the game and realized I’d locked myself out of 70% completion with Johnny and restarted and then accidentally deleted my second file part way though. Third time’s the charm I suppose? 

8.) Well we already have Johnny technically, but having Viktor or Kerry would be fun. Dum Dum would be too. 

9.) Out of the romances I actually didn’t end up disliking any of them (which is rare). I wish I could romance Panem as fem V though. She’s so feisty <3 Kerry is probably my favorite and River/Judy definitely grew on me. I feel a bit cheated that we didn’t have an option to romance any of the other characters though (especially because the chemistry was just so good--if I got to chose I’d definitely add Viktor/Johnny/Goro as options). Johnny is one of my favorite tag-along characters though, even if he’s a complete heel most of the time. 

10.) I like Kerry but I felt like his questline was a bit of an afterthought? It didn’t feel as fleshed out as Judy or Panem’s. They’re probably tied for my favorite quests. I loved the relationship development with Panem. The pacing felt more natural, especially compared to the male romance options.
