I was tagged by @covfefeships. :3 Thank you!
Here's her post! <3
* Do you make your bed? Sometimes… Rarely.
* Favorite number? 6!
* What’s your job? Store Shift Lead
* Can you parallel park? Not at all. Took me 3 tries to get my license back in the day because I kept messing up the parallel parking. On the third time the woman said “You know what? It’s good enough!”
* Do you think aliens are real? Absolutely.
* Can you drive a manual car? I can barely drive an automatic, so no.
* What’s your guilty pleasure? I try not to feel guilt or shame when doing things that bring me pleasure/happiness. But I like cracking my neck and spine even though I shouldn’t. :3
* Tattoos? No, I have this skin condition that makes any sort of cyst or pimple tunnel and get infected, so piercings and tattoos are out of the question, unfortunately, for now.
* Favorite color? Black, red, and purple!
* Favorite types of music? Indie, alt, rock… lots of stuff!
* Do you like puzzles? Yes, but I never have time to do them. I like getting them done in one sitting. Puzzle games like Professor Layton, Crosswords, and Sudoku I like as well but I’m bad at them. :)
* Any phobias? I don’t think so? I’m a very anxious person so a lot of things make me feel uneasy. I might fear the unknown, but that’s not a real phobia, so, nope!
* Favorite childhood sport? Tag was my favorite game. I liked volleyball when I played it in elementary school. But the other sports we did in gym I did not like at all, really. I was a very obese kid so sports were really hard for me. But when I enjoyed them my weight was less of an issue for me, in my head at least.
* Do you talk to yourself? Yep! It’s helpful.
* What movies do you adore? Phantom of The Opera, The Wizard of Oz, Heidi (Shirley Temple film!) the old Scooby Doo movies too. Those were my childhood faves that are still in my top ten. But I mostly adore watching horror and sci-fi nowadays. OOO and Constantine.
* Coffee or Tea? Coffee. Yeah. Too much.
* First thing you wanted to be growing up? Teacher, if I recall correctly. Or a doctor. I might have wanted to be a singer, artist, or writer. No idea, anymore.
Tagging the usual people. No pressure, of course! This was fun. :3 feel free to do this is you aren’t tagged as well!

danny phantom, season 3 episodes 3-6 thoughts!
see prev episode thoughts in this tag <3
-johnny was actually pretty civil with danny and left when he asked! thats nice. also, SKULKER?? HAD A FRAMED PICTURE OF EMBER?? oooo fuck wait had they established they were a Thing Before?? I dont think so. thats weird. its like that country boy/goth girl meme lmfao. I think i am going to choose to ignore this new info and pretend I didnt hear it. 100% unrelated to the jazz/ember fanart I already drew and posted....😳
-LADIES NIGHT EPISODE THIS IS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT. wish it didnt really center around the guys or them being pissed at them, but. willing to bet this was written by men lol
-THEY ERASED ALL THE MEN??? meanwhile, jack and danny are fishing at. silent hill or something. im glad jack is trying to read a parenting book and making an Attempt. (theyre at lake erie, but, they made it actually eerie...thats fun)
-the girls alt outfits...cute. EMBER MADE A NEW SONG TOO!!! kinda. jazz being one of the backup singers and being AWFUL. NOOOO
-'how are we going to get kitty to blow a kiss?' 'she'll have to think there are still some males in town!' ...i dont know how to break it to you, but I dont know that a 100% het girl would wish for all men to Begone. I think. I mean im not a het or a girl so I dont really know for sure. she Is probably Bi tho. esp having the other ladies in town chanting NO MEN!!! excitedly............(then again, the kiss is to get Rid of men, so, she probably would have blown it at the ladies only if they were actively trying to attack/stop them, so...I MEAN. THE DRESSING LIKE DANNY BIT WAS SO EXTRA)
-I feel like an all female cast ep couldve been way way way way cooler than that was. like. why was it still somehow all about Men. ...anyway. (where was valerie...)
-next ep opens with the observants, and, way way more of them than I expected...existed? I mean I guess them being a council/jury of some kind is what I expected from their first appearance (bc at that time they were basically TELLING clockwork to kill danny, not asking,, so I figured they had SOME kind of authority) but. there were so many. anyway, here goes vlad! letting his own hubris go brrrr. releasing a weather ghost for political gain! #justvladthings
-okay say what you will about him (he IS an asshole) but having an umbrella with his own face on it and more prepared to share is SUPER FUNNY. and him being fanned by huge wads of money by his bodyguards. SO ineffective but so Dramatic. He UNDERSTANDS that if youre rich you need to be. you know. obnoxious and kinda eccentric about it! fuckign hate when rich people are boring about it. I would trust vlad with nothing except to not be a boring rich asshole who wears...fucking khaki or some shit. man knows his Presentation Skills. and that 'V' chair in his mayoral office. is that fucking embroidered?
Tumblr media
-maddie get your MAN PLEEEEASSSE. IM SO EMBARRASSED FOR HER. the way jack stays simping for this man. in FRONT OF HIS WIFE!!!! ...my god its like a love triangle. jack clearly loves vlad, who loves maddie, who loves jack. jack fenton is at the very least bi, right................. this is an OBSESSION . 'THE V MAN COMETH'???? i...my god. (also, on a serious note, to have a friend THIS SUPPORTIVE...and still be SUCH A DICK TO HIM (TRYING TO KILL HIM AND STEAL HIS WIFE??) NOT COOL VLAD. JACK IS YOUR 1 AND /ONLY/ HYPE MAN. if someone loved and supported me THIS HARD...LIKE. CMON DUDE.
Tumblr media
-STOMP the fucking GAS, JACK
Tumblr media
-this would make a great shirt design, looks like a metal band design! we love The Maelstrom
-oh, so vlad did in fact get a mansion in amity park. and its purple! good color choice! not as flashy as a CASTLE or MURDER CABIN, but still pretty eccentric, which I appreciate.
-...vlad knows the difference between picasso and da vinci? in the ep last post where we were watching him fail at conquering every historical time ever he didnt seem to know history well enough to like. be effective...was vlad taking art history at college?? (was he an art MAJOR??? we never DID KNOW WHAT HE WENT TO SCHOOL FOR. I kinda assumed business because in the masters of time ep he was still rich without ghost powers so he had to have..known something about business or something, right...but also, art and or theater FITS HIS PERSONALITY. possibly also something science-y, I guess, but I always felt like he got roped into that, esp how pessimistic he was about the ghost portal in the flashbacks to college, like, i felt like he was just there for maddie and was uninterested/un-invested at the time...)
-THIS GHOST JUST ELECTROCUTED MADDIE (THE CAT) BITCH!! THATS MY FAVORITE MADDIE!!! vlad going after vortex and being ~shocked~ .....WHEN. WHEN WILL YOU LEARN. THAT YOUR ACTIONS. HAVE CONSEQUENCES!!!
-the way this random man with a camera sees the mayor laying in an alley covered in TRASH AND DECIDES TO TAKE A PICTURE HAHAH
Tumblr media
*snap* this ones going in my cringe compilation!
-vlad 'if we're going to defeat vortex, we're going to have to do it together!' *immediately dips after dropping danny off in front of vortex* JKASDFHKJHJKN
-DANNY CAN DUPLICATE!!! ...he couldnt even attack with it, but he DID IT!!! INTO (4) OF HIMSELF!!! SO PROUD!!!!!!!!!!
-'THE ROLLER COASTER EMOTIONS OF A TEENAGER THREATEN MY PLANS!' ...0 self awareness of his own dramatic moodiness. incredible, how dumb this man is. its very close to circling around to endearing, if he was less of an asshole. at least its very very funny to see danny shooting him with tiny lightning bolts anytime he's even slightly irritated! vlad you should be nice to danny anyway. this is what you GET
-...making sandwiches and ice cream and playing video games with your nephew is a totally normal thing. WHY is vlad acting like this is the end of the world. if you were a GOOD UNCLE YOU WOULD ALREADY BE DOING THESE THINGS!!! bitch I make my nephew food all the time and dont forget what he does and doesnt like. if u didnt know danny didnt want tomatoes, thats on u. if u, a grown adult, are gonna piss of the 14 yr old by not letting him win, u deserve to have to pay for the arcade machines he ruins because he now has uncontrollable storm powers because YOU THREW HIM INTO A FIGHT WITH THE STORM GHOST. fuck u vlad. paypal me $400,000 while ur at it tho. (also, gamer vlad confirmed)
-VLAD CAN COOK THOUGH???! I assumed he had...people working for him that did that. I mean. billionaires usually dont do that. then again, we've only seen those vultures working for him (and I guess the dairy king was AT his old mansion, but it was never really clarified if he worked there...I think he probably just Hung Out and they Enjoyed Cheeses Together. thats what I think, I dont think a KING would be working for anyone and also the dairy king was nice <3) but then again he would be a private person and we cant have anyone accidentally finding Ghostly Things, so...still, that's hilarious. pour one out for that really cute banana split that got ruined 2 seconds later
Tumblr media
-vlad just fucking picking danny up and THROWING HIM AT VORTEX TWICE WITHIN LIKE A MINUTE. JUST ABSOLUTELY LAUNCHING HIM. BITCH THATS MY SON BE CAREFUL!!! HES GOT ORGANS AND THINGS!!!!
-danny seeing those animal commercials and feeling sad is the biggest 2000s throwback so far. i legitimately had to change the channel or walk out of the room when those came on bc id CRY AND BE SAD ABOUT THEM FOR DAYS AFTER. fuck those commercials and fuck that IN THE ARMMMS OF AN ANGELLLL song 😭
-'vlads ego almost got the town destroyed!' yes danny thats the entire episode. the entire series anytime vlad shows up honestly. this episode was just him being really embarrassing the entire time, and, me laughing about it. 10/10 would laugh at him again
-NEXT EP WE HAVE A SHAPESHIFTING GHOST?? I've said it before but shapeshifting is the power I would want when asked those 'what superpower do you want' questions...its the Best power! this guy looks like a homestuck character. ive never read homestuck but thats the vibe
-I love every time we see tuckers family, they are by far the most functional family. and dash has a lil chihuahua!!! named pookie!!! i am crying (I've had 3 chihuahuas, so I am very biased, but...) AND HE WATCHES THE ROMANCE CHANNEL WITH POOKIE. POOKIE I WILL DIE FOR YOU YOU SWEET LITTLE BABY.
-danny can lift a bus! I shouldn't be surprised, but i am proud of my son. hes got lil kid fans. i am going to cry about this
-JAZZ KEEPS A SCRAPBOOK WITH DANNY'S LIL HEROICS AND NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS!!! we've actually seen it on her floor before, but I didnt realize it was a scrapbook!! thats sooo cute.
-...and danny has to stand there listening to his parents saying danny phantom sucks and is a 'filthy ghost' and calling him egotistical...i am once again stealing their kids!
-THIS GHOST RIPPING JAZZ'S SCRAPBOOK!!! ILL KILL YOU. SHE WORKED HARD ON THAT!!! BITCH
-yes, maddie, the one with red eyes is For Sure Actually Your Son. ignore the, red eyes... (CLEARLY she hasnt watched the other 2 eps where danny has been evil, she doesnt know red eyes= evil!!!)
-'billy fenton'.......................
-danny being stuck as phantom in his own house, no way out is a fucking NIGHTMARE. his parents pointing giant weapons against him and SHOOTING AT HIM. THIS IS A HORROR MOVIE.
Tumblr media
-NINE INCH NAILS POSTER.
Tumblr media
-this is the most screenshot of all time
-amorpho turning into mr. lancer because hes 'someone no one will want to be around' BUT HES WRONG, I WOULD BEFRIEND AND HANG OUT WITH MR LANCER SO FAST.
-tucker dressing as danny, now I have the full Tucker set of him being sam and also being danny. also saying 'the ghost...uh...RIPPED MY FACE OFF.' and then running. SMOOTH. NOT AT ALL CONCERNING TO ANY PARENTS.
-sam accepts the toast from jack. and then 2 seconds later is like 'why am i eating this.' THIS SHOWS HUMOR IS SO UNEXPECTED SOMETIMES ITS REALLY GOOD. and then the scene after, mr lancer running into his ghost doppelganger and being like 'YOURE GORGOUS' THEN FAINTING. I AM CRYING. AND DASH FAINTING TOO.
-sam disguising herself as danny again to help tucker run from the fentons. but leaving him shirtless in the streets. incredible. 'plEASE DOnt NOTice MY FACELessNESS I MUST LIVE IN EXILE' this episode is destroying me the humor in this show is exactly my brand of corny and cheesy
-the impromtu story made up by danny and amorpho to explain stuff to the fentons. my god they are both such bad liars. but amorpho is a good egg. wish danny wouldnt have said he didnt wanna see him in town again!! I want him to be reoccurring. not that thats gonna matter since I'm almost done with the series, but the idea of this being the Only Time We See him is :(
-NEXT EP SAYS STARRING MARK HAMILL??????!!! hello ! mr . joker....mr. star wars.... I feel like I should be. idk. taking off a hat im not wearing in respect. I shouldnt be surprised tho bc hes in a lot of cartoons as a very good voice actor, and dp has already had a lot of talented ones so I've been looking out for ones I might know, but....mr. hamill....
-sam has her own greenhouse, names all the plants, and says thank you to them (in the languages from where the plants are from) whenever she harvests from them. thats SO cute. and her lil gothy lunch box...
-and danny's lil red fuzzy lined jacket!!! ive said it before but every time the characters get alt outfits im like :D
-danny has ice powers now!!! THATS WHAT FROSTBITE MEANT. HE KNEW SOMEHOW WAY BACK THEN
Tumblr media
-THIS SHOW NEVER LETS YOU FORGET VLAD IS A BILLIONAIRE, HUH.
-danny's lil 'holy hibiscus!' first off the 50s batman swearing is hilarious. 2nd. my username is from the flower sanchoyo hibiscus, so, shoutout to ME this ep. hi :)
-EURGH UNDERGROWTH MAKING EVERYONE PLANT ZOMBIES. HIVEMIND PLOTS SCARE THE SHIT OUT OF ME. and this dude made the city SO overtaken so quickly like how long was danny asleep?? oh god

-frostbite's paws are so so so big compared to danny. oh my god. i want to hug the snow dog...
-the far frozen has an advanced medical stuff!!! very cool. very smart snow dogs
-im so glad danny has a friendly ghost snow dad to explain this new power and teach him!!! this is so sweet. DANNY'S GHOST SENSE WAS A PART OF HIS ICE POWER?? OOOH. COOL. we love a training montage!!!
-danny saying if he cant defeat overgrowth, that he'd want to stay with frostbite...oh my god...do you think this is the first real supportive adult figure in his life (I am NOT counting his parents because they threaten him on the daily even if they dont realize it.) I mean mr lancer is a Teacher, but he was also nice but this is different, but this is a GHOST WHO IS WILLING TO HELP HIM with his powers and also will help him when hes injured and is so so nice and comparatively so much more mature than 90% of the adults in this show!!!! god. dad frostbite is my everything.
-the framing and lighting this episode, and all the angles...they went all OUT and it looks really really good. this is my nightmare scenario, tho. like, FUCK zombies and dead city zones and hivemind shit. and using the humans as 'nutrients for the children' i am going to THROW UP.
Tumblr media
-MALEFICENT VIBES WITH THE HORNS AND GREEN EYES! this costume kicks so much ass. sam is now mark hamills daughter, I guess.
-danny's ice powers making his eyes blue!!! thats neat. and him going for the roots underground was SO SMART. i will not stand for danny ever thinking hes stupid, hes SO smart.

Exit Wounds (Cyberpunk 2077)
Pairing: Takemura Goro x (female) V Rating: Mature Summary: When his plans for revenge fail, V and Takemura are left right where they once started. A dying thief and a disgraced soldier, with as much in common as they lack and an improbable bond that holds them to one another. Notes: Post-Canon, Nomad ending. Spoilers for post-game! Read on AO3
Tumblr media
They’d picked up a tail somewhere around the border. Whomever it was, they were skillful and cautious, but even still the Aldecaldos were able to lose them in a sandstorm across the Mojave. After a few weeks, it seemed that maybe they had even died out there in the hot sands.
Panam had taken V to a few experts along their trail, people who had done work for the family but so far, there had been little more than additional pills to take. She was swallowing a pharmacy every morning just to keep blood out of her mouth, but the worst of the seizures were under control and well— there was still time. Six months Alt had said, but maybe more. One had already passed and V felt better. 
Well. Physically at least. 
Inside her head things had changed, for better or for worse, was an academic argument that V hadn’t the time to ponder. She had, god forbid it, gotten used to having Silverhand in her head. The lack of Johnny’s familiar presence in her mind had left a strange sort of… loneliness in her. A feeling that wouldn’t leave her, a gnawing sensation that something was missing.
She had Johnny’s memories still and her own of him, though it did little to console her. She sat on the dusty fender of one of the trucks, rubbing a smudge from Johnny’s aviators, one of the handful of tangible mementos she kept of the old rocker. The sun above was already searing hot, the heat like a burn on the back of V’s neck.
“How far out did you spot um?” Mitch’s voice cut through her thoughts and V squinted against the bright daylight up at the two younger nomad drivers, Fiona and Tiger. They’d been sent out on a water run, returning from the nearest town several miles out with gallons full to keep the Aldecaldos going further across the desert.
“Cut us off. Started a fire fight. It was fuckin’ dicey, Mitch. We got lucky. Fiona clipped him and then his hood. Whole ride started smoking and then died under him.”
“Was it Arasaka?” V asked, replacing the aviators over her eyes.
Tiger and Fiona shared looks and then with a tentative nod, Fiona answered in the affirmative.
“We think so. He moved like a damn one man army, even with how fucked up he seemed.”
“Fucked up?”
“The guy was a monster, but it was like… I dunno. Like he was hurt?”
“Never corner a wounded animal…” Panam offered cryptically from where she sat alongside V, shooting her a worried look.
“Wounded animals got nothin’ to lose,” V said in agreement, then got up with a sigh, “You said you shot him? His car broke down too?”
“Yeah, probably right where we left um… you want us to go back, Panam? Make sure he dropped?”
“I’ll tag along. Hitch over with you both.” V said, Panam frowning at the suggestion, “I could jack in, find out what info he has got. I know Arasaka, Panam, I’m the best to check it out.”
“You don’t need my permission, V—”
“But?”
Panam scowled, turning her eyes to the other Aldecaldos and jerking her head to the side in a silent scram. They left, Mitch stayed, crossing his arms.
“The guy is toast. Why not just leave him?” Panam said, a sigh in her throat, “I dunno. I don’t like this, V. Arasaka hasn’t made a peep since we left. Thought we were keeping under the radar…”
“Clearly not.” Mitch said with a shrug, “And he might be toast. Or he mighta had back up. He might be on his way back to the NC to give up our location. We should make sure he is flatlined, if anything.”
Panam was the head of the family now, her word given final weight of law, but more often than not they had worked together as a sort of “council”. Panam was still getting used to Saul’s absence, an empty void that no one attempted to fill, because no one could ever do so. She looked to V and Mitch for guidance and right now it was obvious in the way she worried her bottom lip and flashed a look up and down V that she wished Mitch had agreed with her.
“You’ll keep outta trouble?” Panam said and V couldn’t help but crack a smile.
“I’m already dyin’, what other shenanigans could I get up to?”
Panam scoffed, clearly not liking the answer.
“Ugh, just be safe! Come back in one piece... or this shitty ass trip has been for nothin’.”
This was what having a family was all about though. Caring. Scolding. And now that she had it, V wouldn’t trade it for anything. Not for all the eddies and fame in Night City.
“Be back soon then.” V said, meeting back up with Fiona and Tiger with a short wave behind her.
---
It wasn’t a long drive to the spot where they had tangled with the possible Arasaka soldier and that actually genuinely worried V. They’d gotten close. Too close.
“There it is, can you see?” Fiona said, pointing her cigarette towards the ever larger growing mass of grey smoke.
“Pull off up here… Fiona, you stay with the car and I’ll take Tiger with me. You hear shots or us hollerin’ you peel outta here and go get the others, alright?”
“Yeah, yeah. Got it.” Fiona flicked ash unto the sand as she pulled the car up slowly to the patch of dried red earth, hidden in the shadow of a high rock and threw the gear into park.
Tiger followed V out, his rifle at the ready as he hung back a few steps. V had Johnny’s— no, her pistol. It was strange how well it fit in her hand, a perfectly balanced weapon that she loaded and readied with the familiarity of one who had used it for years, not a few weeks.
The remnants of the enemy jeep were still burning, fire crackling faintly from beneath the blackened and smoke streaked hood. The thing was already doomed before it took a few good shots to the metal, the paint peeling from the sides everywhere from overexposure to sunlight and rough sands. It was a junker, not exactly the kind of thing an Arasaka soldier would drive.
V came up around the drivers side while Tiger kept back, rifle ready for longshots. No one seemed to be in the car. V checked the handle with the back of her hand, feeling only the heat from the sun on it. She opened it quickly, hand going back to hold her pistol ready as she checked the passenger seat and back. 
No one.
Frowning, she noticed blood on the driver’s seat, smeared across the old cracked leather. The trail continued on the ground, darkening the already caked red dirt with splotches. Any rations or water the truck held were taken and whomever was driving had begun to walk, following the tire tracks Fiona and Tiger had originally left behind.
V felt her blood run cold as the depth of her mistake fell on her.
“Tiger! Turn ‘round, get back to Fiona!”
“W-what?” the young man sputtered, gun up and ready as the panic in V’s voice clearly showed through.
“Get back to the damn car!”
V broke out in a run, leaving him behind as she tried not to let her heart surge with panic. Her eyes caught the blood trail on the ground… making its way to the same rock, the only place of shade, where they had parked the car.
By the time V was back in the shadow of the dark rock formation, her fear was confirmed.
Fiona was out of the car, her eyes wide and fearful and her hands behind her head as the man behind her pointed a gun to her temple.
A man whose cold, mechanical grey eyes cut right through V’s chest and threatened to suck the breath from her lungs.
Takemura’s lips twitched into a smile that was more sneer than anything. Surprise registering just for a moment on his features, or maybe it was more like shock.
“The very woman I have been looking for.”
Tiger had been right. Takemora was a mess. Even without the gunshot wound bleeding sluggishly at his side, his usual immaculate bun was loosened, strands falling across his sun-scorched face, darkening his already warm complexion with deep reds.
He was indeed a wounded animal, a wounded wolf, snarling and ready to take its prey with it to the grave.
V brought her hands up, holding her pistol out and quickly ejecting the clip and then the bullet in the chamber. Carefully, she set the pistol on the ground.
“A wise choice.” Takemura said, accepting her silent surrender.
“Let her go, Goro.”
“You insult me.” he spat, Fiona crying out as his grip tightened and jerked at the back of her neck.
“Fine! Fine— Takemura. Let her go. You came out here for me, yeah? Don’t need the kid.”
“What is one more life to you, V? You already have so many to answer for.” Takemura said, but despite his words, his grip relented on Fiona, “I am here only for one. One that mattered most…”
Takemura took the gun from Fiona’s belt, tossing it far off into the dirt before shoving Fiona away from him dispassionately.
“Do not move.” was all he said to Fiona, his eyes never leaving V’s. Takemura staggered forward. He tried not to let the pain show, but it was obvious he had lost too much blood. He wouldn’t survive that wound without help, but something in his eyes made V think… he didn’t intend to.
V didn’t run, didn’t even struggle as he reached out and grabbed her throat with a hand, sticky with dried blood. He dragged her in close, close enough that she could smell the smoke on his clothes and feel the heat of his breath.
A quiet seemed to come over him, an almost peaceful stillness. His eyes were half lidded as he looked down at her, his hand moving to hold the back of her neck more gently, almost in an embrace as the other held the pistol close to her head.
“... you should have left me to die that da-”
Takemura’s words were cut off with a strangled cry of pain as Tiger’s rifle thundered and a shot grazed over his shoulder and tore fabric and flesh from him. The impact was enough to throw Takemura off balance, giving V enough time to force him back onto the ground, scrambling for the pistol in his hand.
It was a dirty fight— more of a scuffle than anything as blood loss and dehydration seemingly had already sapped the former Arasaka bodyguard of much of his strength. V did him the favor of knocking him across the head with the butt of his pistol before he could get up and risk another shot from Tiger. Somehow, V felt the younger man wouldn’t miss the second time around.
Tiger clamored down from the rockface, rifle still up and ready for another shot.
“No! He’s down!” V hovered over Takemura, shielding him from Tiger’s barrel.
“I missed um, V! Fucker still breathing.”
Fiona had scrambled up from the dirt, rubbing away the clean spots where her tears had made trails down her cheeks.
“Yeah and he’s gonna stay that way, alright? Just… just check on Fiona and get the damn car going. We’re taking him back to camp.”
“V, what? No. No, no way. We can’t take some Arasaka spy back with us!”
“He ain’t Arasaka.” V said behind clenched teeth, straining to haul up the dead weight of her former partner in crime, “Eh… hey, help me here will ya?”
Tiger stared, dumbfounded as his rifle went lax in his hands.
“Look, we need to know what he knows. We can do that better somewhere safe and with him not leaking to death so help me get him in the damn car.”
--
If V had thought Tiger and Fiona put up a fuss on the drive back, she had not fully imagined how Panam would react. V wondered to herself if Saul had ever yelled at Panam this way before, because it certainly matched the kind of ferocity she had seen between the pair.
“Are you listening to me, V?!”
How could you miss it?
V’s inner voice, which sometimes still sounded a lot like one Mr. Silverhand, provided in his deadpan voice. It was an imagined voice, but it still brought a smile to her lips as V let herself indulge in the fantasy that he remained with her.
“Jesus… completely ignoring me. V. You brought an Arasaka spy to the camp. We can’t let him go now! Our best bet is to put two in his skull and burying him in a sand drift and hope his friends don’t come looking!”
“No one is gonna come lookin’, Panam. He’s former Arasaka. Outcasted. Exiled— whatever you wanna call it. He doesn’t got any back up. They don’t even know he is here and would kill him as surely they would any of us.” V said, leaning back in one of the camp’s creaky metal folding chairs.
Even in the firelight it was easy to see the lack of faith in Panam’s expression as she paced around the firepit, raking her hands roughly over her face.
“Former Arsaka, current Arasaka. Shit, V, you think that matters? I got a half dead highly trained killer in this camp who wants to off you.”
V shrugged.
“Oh my god, you are impossible!”
“I’m the only one he is a danger to, so I don’t know why—”
“Do not finish that sentence. You know damn well why.”
Still managing to piss off everyone, I see. Fucked off to the furthest outer reaches of the net and Johnny’s words still somehow played in her head. 
“Sorry.” V said with a grumble, resting all four legs of the chair back to the ground, “He might know something. And if he does or doesn’t, we can just patch him up and drop him at the nearest town.”
“Oh, yeah. Real nice, V. So he can come after us again?”
“I’m not gonna kill him.”
Panam sighed— well. It was more like a half assed hoarse yell from the back of her throat, but V thought she meant it as a sigh.
“... they manage to fix him up at all?”
“Yeah… yeah it looks like he had one shot of Bounce Back left. Kept him from flatlining when he took that hit to the side. He was already healin’ up. Bullet was through and through. Tiger only managed to graze him. Kid got nervous or else your old friend wouldn’t have a face right now.”
Panam crossed her arms, still fidgeting from side to side.
“That ain’t even his worst problems. Guy probably hasn’t eaten in days and his water ran out long off too. This… well. I don’t think he was planning on going back to NC.”
After a moment, V stood, rubbing both hands up behind her neck and then back down with a groan.
“I don’t think so either.”
“You… gonna see him?”
“You got him restrained?”
“Yeah, V. He’s in and out. Was delirious for a bit, but they managed to get some water in him. V… he’s in a bad way.”
“...s’my fault.” V said, words a half mumble, “You heard on the radio. Our plan got Hanako Arasaka killed. I… didn’t want that, but Alt had her own plans, ya know? Christ, at the time I didn’t even think to know, I was just trying to keep alive.”
Panam shook her head, “We lost people too. Saul. Teddy. Bob. … fuck, nearly lost more. You didn’t know Alt was going to stage a hostile god damn take over. He can’t blame you.”
“He will.” V said, her voice quiet, “I… I’ll try to talk to him. At least keep him from doing anything stupid thinking we got plans to flatline him.”
“Yeah, just… be careful, V. Like I said. The sun does weird bullshit to your head out in this place.”
V only nodded, gripping Panam’s shoulder just briefly as she passed towards the tent where they were keeping Takemura.
---
Two armed nomads were outside the tent while another two had been inside while Tom, a former ripperdoc and current nomad senior, had worked on Takemura. The three had left to give V some space, but the other guards remained outside nearby.
Takemura was laid out on one of the cots, his ruined shirt cut and stripped from him, leaving him bare from the waist up except where bandages were wrapped tightly around his middle and then up around his shoulder and back. V had always seen the exposed trace of chrome that wrapped around his neck and along his jaw, but now she could see where cyberware traced across his bare arms and lined one side of his ribs. Their purpose, V couldn’t say, and most likely, they didn’t work anymore given Takemura’s burned status with Arasaka.
The rest of his body was, at least by appearances, organic. Smooth olive complected skin over toned muscle. Takemura’s face gave away his age. The lines on his forehead and around his mouth indicated years of deep thinking… or deep scowling, but otherwise he had kept himself at peak condition. A work requirement no doubt of being a top Arasaka bodyguard.
His breathing was sharp, but steady enough. His eyes were closed, but a grimace rested permanently across his features even in sleep.
V pulled up a chair, turning it backwards as she straddled it and leaned her arms against the back frame.
“... you look like shit, man.” she said, not expecting an answer. She didn’t get one either, not a vocal one. Instead she got the faint clatter of metal against metal as Takemura moved and the cuffs holding his arms to the bed rattled against the frame.
She had flinched at the sound, embarrassing herself.
His eyes opened, the pale grey like moonlight slicing through darkened clouds. He looked hazy, drugged up… his eyes looked over at her with only the vaguest recognition.
“... V?”
“Yeah, it’s me.”
“I am… not dead. A dissapointment.”
“Sorry— you were hoping we’d put two in your head while you slept?”
Takemura made a gruff sound that V took as an affirmative.
“Would have made it easier.”
“Uh huh, you know they got hotlines for this kinda thing.”
Takemura groaned, “I remember. You said same thing in Night City.”
“I’m sure someone in camp would be happy to help you out if you try shooting me again.”
Takemura went silent at that, turning his eyes upwards towards the top of the tent with a deep frown. Like he was remembering something he had, for a moment, forgotten.
“I will kill you, V. For what has been done.”
“I didn’t have anything to do with Hana-”
“You insult her by speaking her name.” his voice was harsh, pain straining the words as he tried to sit up and found himself unable to bear his wounds.
“...I’m sorry, Takemura. I didn’t— it wasn’t— I didn’t want anyone to get hurt… I was dying. Like literally in that moment fucking flatlining. I did what I had to try and sever that relic from my head and… and that AI did what she wanted.”
“You let it in. It turned systems against Arasaka. Hanako-sama— Hanako-sama was shredded by hacked mech units. Beyond recognition! And you tell me you didn’t know? You knew it would be nothing good.”
“... when I was there, when Alt took over… she was only attacking soldiers who attacked us. I don’t know what happened with Hanako-sama, but—”
“And now I have told you what happened to Hanako-sama.” Takemura said, his words clipped, “Get out— better still, let me die having done my duty.”
V swallowed thickly, rolling her lips together before she said quietly, “I’m not gonna do that.” 
Takemura did not respond. He shut his eyes, as if he refused to even give V the dignity of looking at them. His brow was tight, pained and yet still grimly determined. 
There were things she still needed to ask him— did Arasaka know where he was? Did he still plan to bide his time and kill her? V felt her heart throb at the very idea that this man who she had trusted, had worked with, had saved her… now utterly hated her.
He had sent her one message after she had left Night City, standing among the rubble and ruin of Arasaka Tower.
Rot in hell, クソ野郎.
In all honesty, the way he had spoken, the things he said… well, she hadn’t expected to hear or see him again. V had done with that knowledge what she did with most things… hit delete on the message and then buried it in the back of her thoughts with Jackie and the other countless people she had let down. These things were all just part of the sins she figured she would pay for in six months when her body finally succeeded in killing itself. A part of her had even wondered if the agony of that, the pain of each seizure, the waking exhaustion, nausea and memory loss… if her suffering could tip those scales even the slightest. Make it even. 
Just another fairy-tale dream. Johnny’s voice scoffed in her imagination.
Maybe suicide was still his intention, but it was obvious now to V the means of that demise had changed. Takemura couldn’t get Yorinobu now, but he could get her. The one who had promised to help him gain his revenge and then denied it for him forever.
V stood and quietly left through the tent flap, barely giving an appreciative nod to the guards out front as she staggered off to her own tent, feeling sick from the faint throb that had begun to pulse in the back of her neck… from regret. From guilt.
Her vision cut, lines of static racing across her sight and making shapes turn into nothing more than incomprehensible blurs. V felt the world shift and jerk from side to side, the ground rising up to meet her as she tripped over her own feet and fell with a thud to the dirt.
Even laying there, voices of alarm tuned out and far away, faces blurred and unidentifiable, V could feel the churning turning sensation as the Earth spun slowly through space. Falling, through silent cold space.
Like Jackie, like T-Bug. Like Johnny.
Like all the dead that had come before her. 
Breathing deeply, V curled her fingers into the red sand, and held on.
Not yet, V. Not yet.

Can You Feel The Sun (Pt.2)
Took me being mega emotional over V and Johnny to finally finish this one but, shit picks up fast y'all OwO
— SPOILER ALERT - this is post-game stuff, read at your own risk —
Read on Ao3
— — — — —
Walking up those steps to the Columbarium was the most difficult thing she had ever done. V had been avoiding it for an entire year, having promised herself she would visit regularly but never doing so. She couldn't.
Perhaps it was time to finally stop ignoring the truth and the hurt. V took a deep breath and stepped into the Columbarium, knowing the path to the niche like the back of her hand. She did not look at it right away, her eyes fixed to the floor, the walls, the sky—anywhere but his name.
Her gaze had brushed over Alt's first, sending a chill down her spine at the thought of the irony behind its placement. There they were, the two names stuck so close to each other after their parting from this world—unbeknownst to everyone that ever knew them just how accurate of a depiction it was.
He was right there, but not quite beside her. One panel higher. He was there with her, but not quite. Another chill ran through her spine, particularly when she glanced at his name so absentmindedly, she hadn't realized what she'd done until it was too late.
Robert John Linder
A son of a bitch who never gave up. A legend among legends.
V took a deep breath, her vision blurring over as she read the next line.
The man who saved my life.
It was all she could do not to crumble into nothing right then and there, but she did not hold back her tears. Soon, her shoulders began to shake and her chest heaved as a heartbreaking sob broke through. V brought a few fingers up to the niche, tracing the little tray right where his name was displayed. The hologram danced around her fingers as they went through, not quite making contact—also eerily apt.
"You really were a son of a bitch, you know that?" she hissed, sniffling hard and wiping at her face with her sleeve. "You shouldn't have let me leave. I would have stayed with you. Whatever happened, I would have stayed..."
Her free hand moved past her jacket and into the collar of her shirt to pull out a silver chain. She palmed the tags and held them tightly as she wept. It was unclear how much longer she ended up staying there after that.
Visions began to form in distorted waves, slowly turning into memories as his mind tried to catch up to his consciousness. He began to recognize a few things; the medical equipment, the incessant beeping of a machine that only grew faster and faster each time, and the yelling of doctors and whoever else around the room before he lost consciousness once more.
It wasn't the first time this had happened and it was clear to him now. Clearer than ever as his head hit the table with a hard thud, neon lights sending him off to the abyss for another long stretch.
Had this place always smelled like shit? Sure, she remembered it smelling terrible, but it wasn't that bad. V stepped over corrugated sheets of metal and whatever passed for a path that lead her where she needed to be. When the old blotch of concrete was visible, she could feel her stomach drop at the sight. All those underlying feelings of turmoil and regret began to bubble up to the surface the closer she got.
By the time she arrived, Val's hands were uncontrollably shaking. She lowered herself down onto a familiar metal slab and took a deep breath. With a quick scrape of fingers through her hair, she leaned forward and hung her head, trying hard not to let her emotions tear into her just yet—what Misty had told her continued to ring in her mind like an endless echo of a broken record.
Celebration; harmony; union—reunion.
"Reunion..." her lower lip quivered and she grimaced, the venom in her heart finally surfacing. "If only it was a proper reunion... but we can't have that, can we?" Val shook her head and buried her face in her hands. "We never were a fortunate pair, were we?" She took a breath, "From the moment we met, shit just wouldn't let up. Coulda been slotted into some other gonk's brain but you had to be in mine, didn't you?"
Val dropped her hands from her face, then traced one along the carved surface beside her. JS2023. "Don't know a soul that earned himself two graves... But fuck you went out with a bang each time." There was that cold, sudden ache in her chest that snaked its way up to her throat. Her eyes stung a little at the sensation. "You know, people thought I'd be happy to hear I was back in my own body, alone in my head again... no one understood why I grieved so much. Everyone's been tryin' all day to take me out for drinks and get my mind off things... Except maybe Misty, and Kerry. He'd never admit it to you, but he did grieve for you. Told me so himself in the days after I came back. Everyone else..."
Sitting up straight a little, V let out a dry, humorless chuckle into the air. "Everyone else still thinks of you as the bastard who ran my well dry and left me for dead. They... think of you as the asshole from 2023, the terrorist of the 'saka bombing, the rockerboy-gone-rogue.'" She scoffed, attempting to suppress the bubbling anger. "They never got to see the man you became. Who you were at the end... who you were to me..."
The little memories began to flood her mind; those times that he'd jokingly rest his legs upon hers, the times she'd do the same with him for comfort, the hours they'd spent in the garage or out in the pier. The way the engram and her mind would simulate his fingers running through her hair—god how she hoped she would get to see the day they would do these things in person.
She had hoped for too much.
Mikoshi had been as close to a level field between them as it had ever been. Val sat up straight, her cheeks damp and glistening in the flames of the fields.
"Say something," she called softly, knowing it was pointless but she did anyway. "Anything?" Her voice cracked and her throat constricted. A choking sob racked out of her as she hunched over, her face buried in her hands once more. "I can't do this..." She cried, "how the fuck... Is this a reunion?" She sniffled, wiping her cheeks away with the sleeve of her jacket. "A real reunion would be me fucking launching myself past the Blackwall again, but that-that—"
Oh.
That wasn't doable... It wasn't... It wasn't.
No. No, right? No.
Her eyes darted side to side as her breathing quickened. Her crying came to a screeching halt and she wiped off the fluids on her face with a sleeve as she stood up. Brows furrowed, heart pounding and eyes still trailing around in thought, V marched for the Porsche.
His eyes fluttered open once more, his body waking up a little faster this time. His pounding heart is enough to get him to launch himself up to a seated position, but the sting of leather caught him first. His head hit the back of the—whatever he was on, a table or bed of some sort—with a hard thud, causing him to groan.
"Good morning!" A loud and clear voice rung out in the chamber. That's when he noticed. There were no nurses or doctors or anything around. The room was silent otherwise. "My, you've been causing a fuckton of trouble around here, haven't you? Just can't stay down."
"Where the fuck am I?" Shaking and straining against the leather straps, Johnny growled into the air. "Show your fucking face!"
Slow footsteps resounded as the man moved about the room—not closer, but still present. "Not until you calm the fuck down." That seemed to rule him up even further, so the man chuckled. "If you behave I might let you out—"
"What year is it?"
The man paused, the sound of him shuffling in place carrying over to Johnny's ears making him try to push his head up to see the guy. All he could see was a nondescript form of the man from the brief glimpse he caught at an angle too painful to maintain.
"It's the year 2078," the man told him, and Johnny's heart shattered.
His head slammed back against the slab once more as his eyes shut tight. "Fuck..." He shook his head.
"You miss a birthday or something?" The man jested.
No. 
He missed whatever time V had left before she'd die. The time that Alt had promised her. He did not dare to hope that she might still be alive. He could not. He lost her once, he couldn't bear to think of losing her again. She was probably already gone and he hoped she took half the city down with her. She never did do things half-assed or quietly—wasn't her style.
But either way... She was gone.
Too late.
"What, Johnny? What is it, where'd you go?" The man insisted, taking a step closer.
"Fuck you, fuckin' 'saka piece of shit," he let out a dry chuckle, shaking his head. "This isn't real, I'm not really here." His voice... It was truly his own, he felt. His left arm had that same vagueness about feeling where his fingertips did not, and he was familiar with the feel and response of this body—felt different than how alien it was in Val's. He stopped himself from thinking further on that.
"You think you're at Arasaka?" The man asked.
"Never left Mikoshi, so only one place I could be," he replied. "Stuck in some sim or something."
"Guess again, genius," the man told him before finally walking forward and into the light. That face, Johnny knew that face— "Bryce Mosely. I believe we've already met."
Johnny hadn't, but V certainly had. The man she spared from the Voodoos back in the day. Johnny's eyes stuck onto the man's features as he leaned a hand against the slab to look down at him. "No, can't say we have."
"Sure we have. You were in her head after all, weren't you?" His lips curved into a crooked smile. "Wasn't sure what I picked up when I had access to her port, but the second we found you, a quick cross reference and here we are."
Fuck.
"So, what—you brought me back, in the flesh?" Johnny asked.
"In your flesh, to be exact," Bryce corrected.
"Bullshit," Johnny spat, looking away as though he couldn't feel that nagging craving of nicotine coursing through him, or the familiar ache of one side of his jaw when he clenched it in anger.
"We did take you from Arasaka. They're still a mess after a lone Merc walked in and singlehandedly unraveled everything they had been building here in Night City, but... Didn't expect to find you in Mikoshi of all places, though..." Bryce explained as a way of asking.
"Assholes liked their trophies, what can I say," Johnny passively replied, his eyes shutting momentarily.
"But you left, right? Had to have left if you wound up in V's head—which I still don't get how that happened... And how you wound back up in Mikoshi," he took a step back. "Did V return you? Did she have enough of your antics or... What, did she use you to get to Arasaka?"
"Give up, corpo-dick, I ain't telling you shit. None of this shit matters," Johnny looked up at the agent.
"Course it does. Because if you talk, you might just get your freedom. Don't you want that?"
His freedom? With whatever leash they must have planted in his body? He had spent enough time with V to learn her caution, to learn when to bite his tongue and bide his time, when to keep fighting and when to shut up. He stopped to think for a moment and knew that this was a loaded scam and a half.
"Find someone else. Only person I'd talk to is dead, I got nothin' left to lose, so go ahead, make me sleep again."
"Can't do that. You see we need you. We're pretty sure Arasaka's—"
"Oh, Arasaka, Arasaka—fuck Arasaka, fuck you, and fuck this, they've already fucked things up enough. You said they're unraveled? Good enough for me." Johnny was beginning to raise his voice as he rattled against the straps, shaking the entire bed with him. "I'm no fucking corpo dog, you won't get shit from me so either let me out—"
"Johnny—"
"Or fucking put me right back where you found me!"
The more that Johnny fought against his restraints, the more it was apparent to Bryce that Johnny was unwilling to answer. From the corner of his eye, Johnny could see Bryce motion toward a large mirror across the room. The doors soon opened and nurses began to filter into the room. Needles and bottles clanking, a nurse hurried over to his IV, pumping what seemed to be the culprit of his daze—and a large dose of it too.
A familiar buzz whooshed through his head as he relaxed into the bed, letting the tingling numbness take over. He might have blamed the bruises and chafing underneath the leather after so much fighting, or maybe the intensity of being back in a body again, but he could not hold back the singular tear that escaped him as he shut his eyes.
He would be no one's puppet.
Before light and sounds fully dimmed around him, he could hear Bryce's voice echoing in the chamber. There were some incoherent orders, but some words did come through. Words he did not know how to process. They played over in his mind again and again until there was nothing but silence.
Find that Merc.

I had written so much and then i fucking lost it all nooooooooooo. 
Welp, gotta rewrite it. Here are my sibs, be warned, there’s a lot here. Also, apologies for subjecting you to my handwriting. 
  Morning star (eldest, top left)
  Mid-late twenties
Likes historical weaponry and combat. she ‘s a big nerd, who used to larp and enjoys things like tabletop and renaissance fairs and fantasy stuff (she also sort of inspired a dnd hobby in flash)
Amputee 
She has adhd (they all do) which was inherited from their dad. 
She likes jazz
She was in the air force for a while doing mechanics and maintenance. She ended up losing an arm and a leg in an engine accident due to someone else’s neglect of procedure. She got a medical discharge and ended up not getting a lot of benefits she was kind of promised (cause ‘merica). She depends on vet aid for a lot of her expenses but it’s still not nearly enough (cause ‘merica), and she is bitter. 
She used to be a huge social butterfly, very much the Prep/jock leader type. She’s more jaded and a lot more tired now, but she still very much likes people when she has the energy. 
She likes making morbid jokes. Her:  “Damn that sounds like it’ll cost you an arm and a leg,” Everyone: *sweating*. She lives for their discomfort. 
She still lives with her family for convenience, and now a days she’s doing college online. 
Tol lady 
Frizzy hair
V protective
  Militant march (second oldest, top right.)
A year or two older than flash 
I got his design from the scene in friendship games where the band comes on
Speaking of, Band Geek. he’s in percussion, he is percussion dad. He has extra sheet music and the freshmen are his kids
Also plays classical piano
He has inattentive type adhd, which he deals with by doubling down on organization. 
His bullet journal is pristine. He has…so many sticky notes. So many. On his desk, on his door, stuck on the walls, covering the bathroom mirror, so many. He has a set of alarms, and he keeps a calendar. 
Does like ~awarness~ exercises to deal with zoning out and getting lost in thought (which he does a lot) 
He doesn’t want to deal with forgetting stuff he so just. Carries everything. Everywhere. 
If you mess with his schedule he will panic. Please arrange hangouts with at least like, 3 days notice pls, he doesn’t do well with spontaneity 
He’s a good student. He’s also good to his teachers, he brings in apples and coffee, he volunteers to help them retrieve things and with grading, and he’s generally very agreeable. He usually also establishes a relationship with them because he needs to communicate his needs when it comes to ADHD accommodations.
 On the flip side, if a teacher ignores his disability accommodations or his county plan or is an asshole about it, he doesn’t tolerate it. He will lawyer on it, he will file with the school, he will go to admin and he will have you in litigation from your toes up to your teeth. God forbid you are a shitty sub. 
Petty but like, quietly. 
Whenever people get up to nonsense he’s just like: sips tea
Otherwise, he’s a soft boi. Accommodating, patient, and polite. Wears cable knit sweaters and polo shirts. 
  Uppercut (lower left, second youngest)
She boxes! She also wants to get into mma. Very scrappy gal
She’s in like, 7th or 8th grade
Despite her jockness, she still very much dresses femininely. She likes skater skirts and e-girl stuff. 
Flash: “she’s my little sister and I love her. She’s also a demon from hell sent to kill me via stress attack,”
Mischievous. She likes to prank people, she likes to sass her brothers and she is a mythic  troll to her family (and others)
Also pretty internet savvy. She’s on a lot of different forms and boards. She also uses VPNs, AdBlock, data protectors, and the like. 
She likes making video edits and amvs. 
She is a menace, and sometimes gets up to dangerous and/or questionable things, like trolling alt-right message boards or baiting people into saying creepy or incriminating stuff so she can report or blackmail them 
She’s on reddit
G a m e r 
She also floods bigoted tags with things like memes and fancams to clog them. 
She has catfished people before. Usually incels and 4channers. She has some weird sense of vigilantism, and also finds it funny. It’s never anything serious (like having someone think they’re in a serious relationship) but she has gotten people to get her stuff like steam games b4.
 Flash was not pleased when figured this out and he’s sort of constantly worried somethings going to happen. One time she did something that especially freaked him out and he got Microchip to install parental controls on her computer for like a month.
On the less worrying side of things, she runs fan blogs and likes tiktok. Normal fandom stuff. 
Her room has colored LED lights. 
I like to think flash give her the jacket he wore in the first 3 movies once he got his makeover. 
Hyperactive adhd! She has a fidget spinner, but she only got one after it became “cringy”. She hyper focuses All The Time.  Does the leg bounce, and gets a lot of energy out through her boxing. Her computer is super organized, her room is an absolute mess. 
First base (youngest, bottom right.)
He’s like, 10-12. 
Baeby. He baeby. 
He’s the little colt in a couple of the cmc episodes, im pretty sure everyone decided he’s flash’s brother and so have i. 
Combined type adhd. He is a very hyper boy. He’s constantly fidgeting or moving in his seat or dancing in place.
It would annoy his teachers if he weren’t so polite. 
He plays baseball! 
He also really likes flowers, especially yellow ones, and especially especially yellow roses, dandelions, and marigolds
He tucks dandelions into his shoelaces a lot. 
He’s also very friendly and upbeat, as well as surprisingly emotionally mature. He’s very in touch with his feelings and very good at sensing how other people feel. 
Plays ukelele, flash taught him. First painted flowers on it
He has this giant frizzy fluffy mass of hair, so he has some clips and barrettes he uses to keep it out of his face sometimes. He also sometimes wears headbands. 
Yellow is his favorite color. 
He dresses literally however he wants, including stuff like skirts. he‘s very fond of sweater dresses when it’s cold. 
Him and flash are very close. Flash basically acts like he’s his momma, and he will extend that nurturing to First base’s close friends. 
He’s also just an absolute magpie. He collects a ton of things from cool rocks to random shiny stuff to hairpins he finds. He always most have pockets for this reason. He also always has scrunches and hair ties on his wrist even though he doesn’t use them, in case anyone needs to borrow one. 
Also keeps fun bandaids in case anyone needs one. 
Did i mention he baeby? He baeby.
HOL Y FUCK

Kai headcanons
I got tagged by the lovely @imacrowcawcaw to make this super fun tag. Thx lulu
Game rules: if you were to write a character summary (and/or headcanons) about yourself, what would it sound like?
Get ready for a sea of fake deep shit bc I’m a hoe. A pretentious hoe disguised as an “i hate pretentiousness” hoe
Bad liar and chronic oversharer (but likes to pretend shes so mysterious)
She is not ugly by any means, but she would not consider herself ✨beautiful✨. You are more likely to be struck by her vibe than her looks, she doesn’t mind that. She has a rock n roll heart, and belongs to sleepless nights.
Her hair is finally mid-length, for some reason she rocks the middle part. It is wavy, dark brown, and her ends are dyed blue—she thinks it gives her an edge. Like her hair, her eyes are of pure chocolate, the color of fertile earth, and very intense. Not long ago she felt boring; brown hair, brown eyes, milk coffee brown skin, but time has shown her to love it.
She speaks English with barely an accent because she bullied herself into losing it when young, now her English voice sounds different. If she speaks it for a prolonged time it begins to show, it is like acting in a play, it hurts her throat and tires her out. This is why she prefers to sing in Spanish, it lets her use her “real voice”. She’ll mix fancy words with fucked up speech like its nothing.
She has a thing for musicians. and she wishes she could play guitar but it scares her to learn; her favorite thing to do is sing but she will not admit she tries.
Her style is self-describes as “artsy-goth, yes i like alt rock” and she probably secretly kins David bowie. A sucker for 70s-90s style, art, and music culture.
Loves days at the beach and impromptu dance parties. Fun is the #1 priority, along with good music and mental stimulation
Prejudice is the stupidest thing in her eyes, she judges only by what she knows, and no quirk would make her think les of someone. Her goal is to make her friends feel comfortable with being weird around her. Justice and empathy are very important to her, and the only way she judges harshly is if someone lacks humanity or is prejudiced. feminist and will volunteer and attend protests whenever she can.
purple girl. all that she is is purple. She feels purple deep within her; mysterious, unknown, the same purple of the dark side of the moon. She dreams of space and extraordinary things; is in love with the ocean and space, the universe resides in her and the ocean waves roar around her. Shell say shell show you her home and take you to the beach. Though she cannot reach that which calls her, she creates her own universe with an paintbrush and a swift hand. She is pretentious enough to write that down and post it online
Halloween enthusiast.
Never has she felt like she belonged or connected with anyone, and its not a curse, she just has to belong to herself that much more. She loves her friends but still thinks she doesn’t feel things as she should. Doesn’t have a person she clicks or can connect with, but it is okay. She still enjoys moments with her friends and is as attentive and good a friend as she can be.
On the other hand she is loud, ridiculous, and irresponsibly funny at times. She has been described as a sober drunk/stoner by friends. Kinda gross but for comedic purposes, can make up funny punchlines at the moment like its her job (but it has to come naturally). Touchy/flirty friend. Dancing and singing, doing stupid things for the thrill, and deep/borderline stupid conversation will always be a YES. Laughs at inappropriate times, and jokes when she should be serious.
While honesty and justice are her mantra, she finds it hard to express or even connect with her emotions sometimes, its easy for her to shut them out when it suits her and feels nothing for extended periods of time. Uses comedy to cope, it works.
She does not believe in god, but she loves astrology. Aquarius is her sun, that’s all i can say. Her description of what she believes in sounds strangely similar to The Force in Star Wars; she is aware, it wasn’t on purpose. 
connecting with people fuels her. She hates being online, prefers to get lost. Its safe to say she is funny and has vast knowledge about varying topics; for this she loves to always have something to contribute to every conversation.
The way to get to her is to engage her in discussion (about art, music, the universe, humanity) and keep her thread going, she loves to hear and explore different topics with people.
But not always, sometimes its better to dig at and make fun of each other, good conversation can get boring.
She is an artist, that is plain. You’ll feel her art before she has even mentioned it. Her hands and thighs are always stained with different colors; she smells faintly of paint, wood, and paper; and her eyes are always searching, imagining. art is reflected in everything bout her, the way that she acts, how she talks... She uses any medium se can get, and if she does not know how shell learn. Sometimes creation is the only thing that she desires in life. 
Despite all that serious bullshit above, shes not. shes incredibly goofy, laid back, and fun, loves going with spontaneous ideas that can sometimes be a bit dangerous, and wishes to know all about the strange and unusual parts of people. She is someone you can be open with. Shell jump at any chance of adventure, you can run away with her anytime you want.
Tagging: @safari-karrot @satans-helper @thejujuhound @turquoisehairedgirl @silver--storms @v-i-d-e-n-o-i-r @thenewagecrisis @jake-kardashian @moonchildwildheart @love-philautia if you wanna

[Main Verse ▪️ Only Human]
Following the revolution and subsequent peaceful resolution, Connor works full time for the DPD. He is quickly becoming a decorated detective in his own right and integrating cohesively with his human colleagues. In his deviancy he finds emotions complex but grows to accept this newfound freedom for what it is. He still needs to cope with overstimulation at times which can lead to outbursts of an extreme nature. As he deviated late this is only part of his personal process in learning to be alive instead of under control.
He is very much open to establishing new connections with humans and androids alike but feels more at home with his DPD origins. Connor is aware many of his people think of him as the deviant hunter despite what he did for the rebellion when it mattered. The RK800 has come to accept this. He continues to strive to become something more in his current position to distance himself from Cyberlife.
While he is generally confident there are times he imagines his fate at the hands of Cyberlife. In his eyes they are the enemy. His feelings on Amanda are hostile at best. This provides insight into how he copes with his former masters and uses instinct as well as programming to determine intentions. He does not trust easily due to this. Anyone connected to a company such as this will garner suspicion from him. There are just a handful of people Connor trusts implicitly. Dealing with his issues before deviating only make it difficult for others to break through. He can be guarded but for good reason.
All in all the advanced prototype is still looking for something post deviancy and he embraces this part of himself whole heartedly. Being alive, becoming deviant is what he fights to keep. After all even as someone manufactured Connor discovers his penchant to make mistakes and choose by his volition is only human.
AU Variant Branch of Main Verse: Nefarious Connor Alt Verse
Connor is everything from his main verse: deviant, detective for the DPD but his connections with humans are even less. He deviated at the last possible moment after causing the death of Hank Anderson and murdering many soldiers, including the swat team on the roof at Hart Plaza. He regrets Hank’s suicide but knows very well he cannot turn back time.
His attitude is cooler as he branched out from his machine persona so late in the game. Choosing to disobey Amanda’s order to shoot Markus as he stood on the stage in victory of a peaceful revolution, Connor broke free of the master program by using his emergency exit. A little too late perhaps but he is still on the winning side isn’t he?

[Machine Verse ▪️ Cold Hands, Cold Heart]
The revolution is one to be ended as per his orders. Connor follows the commands of Cyberlife, ignoring any signs of software instability as he completes each of his objectives. The deviant cases themselves all result in death of said fugitive. All calculation and percentages, the RK800 follows only protocol as he leaves his partner to dangle from a roof. He willfully disposes of the Traci's at the Eden Club and shows no sympathy towards those he deems malfunctioning against their creators.
Connor is cool in the full sense. He feels nothing, even as instances of software errors pop into his data core. The mission drives him and he does whatever it takes, including killing his own allies if need to be, to complete his mission. There is no semblance of satisfaction in what he does but an eerie edge to his views on why it must be done.
Deviants will bring nothing but chaos and he is the harbinger laying waste to those who seek freedom. Androids are meant to obey and he will make sure it remains that way. He is willing to sacrifice any for his mission even the humans he as a machine is programmed not to harm. In the end Cyberlife is who he receives his orders from. It does not matter who a person believes they are to him. As he cannot feel anything as a machine Connor only sees it as human or deviant naivety.
Try to stop him and he will switch from his seamless integration programming to his true skilled killer. RK800's are made for one purpose and he aims to fulfill his purpose for the greater good. Whether that means leaving a plethora of bodies in his wake Connor has no remorse. What remorse does a thing not alive have?

[Prototype Verse ▪️ Who Is In Control]
The hostage situation. A little girl hanging on the precipice of a building, defective android threatening to leap; Connor successfully completed his mission. He talked down the deviant PL600 before unceremoniously drawing the taken weapon and firing a single bullet into the android’s head. This entire first investigation went off without a hitch….
But Cyberlife got everything out of him. This was to be his last mission. A trial run, this version of Connor is a test prototype identified in error as model #49. He does not go onto the DPD. He does not partner up with Hank to hunt deviants. Those things never happened to him.
In their place, he is taken back to Cyberlife and briefed by Amanda of his successful points, only to be put up for deactivation in order to put out their shiny prototype model-51.
Understandably -49 is confused by this decision. He did what he was supposed to do. He succeeded but soon his existence is about to end. Something cracks in him, something splinters in the virus he was born to destroy. He cracks, refusing to be deactivated when he succeeded in his design.
They take him for deactivation. They toss him away even as he splinters in his code blocks. He fights. He loses. He winds up a shell of himself tossed out like garbage but something resurfaces. Something reboots and he quietly gathers out of the storm and into Detroit city’s night.
Push forward. Push to the present following the revolution and the Connor he would have been, the life he could have had belongs to someone else. -49 is not for the faint of heart. He is defective in every sense of the word. He is violent. His triggers include: stalking and yandere. Murder is his philosophy. Heed this before attempting to interact with him.

[Main Human Verse ▪️ Gin And Tonic On My Mind] 
Connor is a young executive with a lucrative career in technological holdings working as a top executive for Atomix. Their current business association with Cyberlife draws him into a deeper tie with their advanced investment: androids. As this advancement continues to grow, he views Cyberlife’s creations in a sympathetic light which is more than his superiors want out of him. With him falling into stress from his position as he watches events unfold with the growing android rebellion his loyalties are tested.
Ultimately let go by Atomix despite his esteemed work ethic, Cyberlife makes a deal to bring him personally into their employment. He is reluctant but must face the truth he requires this new job after being laid off. His views on what it truly means to be alive come into question the more he dives into the inner workings of the very company who bred this artificial intelligence.
Family Life:
Born fifteen minutes before his twin brother Caleb (RK800-60), Connor was an Anderson by name but quickly found himself in the care of an orphanage with his sibling. The two went through hardships before they were adopted by a woman who lived up to her surname, Amanda Stern.
Stern is exactly how she raised the boys and Connor was meant to go onto great things in her eyes. It’s only fitting his brother would want to follow suit. This created some early animosity between them but despite Caleb’s penchant for jealousy, Connor still very much cared for his brother. In fact he loved him as any sibling would; he hated seeing his twin fall completely under the spell of Amanda.
Connor viewed her manner of tough love and cold tendencies as unfit. To this day he still refuses to speak with Amanda for a specific incident involving her and his brother. Caleb seems to forget but the executive surely does not. Hence the reason he kept his family’s last name attached to him, all the while Caleb decided to adopt the name of their ‘mother’ out of a sense of loyalty.
He has loyalty for those he cares for. While he doesn’t hate Amanda it’s difficult for him to forget the manipulation and brainwashing she put his brother though. She still continues to call on him now. Connor’s reception is not hostile but neither is it affectionate. He’s wary of her intent especially with his current dealings with Cyberlife.

[Apollo Verse ▪️ My Kingdom Is Divine]
War runs afoul even among the gods and Connor's virtues are scorned by the highest order. Yet he chose to wage this battle with the king of the underworld himself. One does not trifle without consequence and he felt the same burn. The heat proved too much for the proverbial god of sunlight. Running afoul of his doppelgänger only caused chaos. Some say they both were born of the same seed separated into two halves, light and dark an echo of their power. Connor chose to believe otherwise as he sought to challenge the underworld when capturing a mortal his eye grew fond of. The war he participated nearly tore the realm apart.
Cast out to live among mortals sends him to a very modern world but one he has kept a keen eye on. Inclined to watch closely at the habits of lesser beings he is charmed by their earthly customs. Beauty can be found in the least expected of places after all but Connor grows disillusioned soon discovering he is as trapped to this mortal coil as they.
Though thrown out he still holds powers to some degree. It is less so but enough to invoke his dazzling charm. He lives the sun itself even as he flew too close. Gifted a lavish home to sate his exile, Connor delves further into the mortal city. Becoming human does not take away his otherworldly aura but does taint his pleasant ideas of humans. The seedier this city becomes the more truth in humanity's sins he uncovers.
A godly being shamed to walk on earthly soil does not rest. He seeks a way to return by any means necessary. Unlike the king of the underworld Connor's trials are more difficult. It seems he will never find his way back. What becomes of a higher being cursed to mortality? Only time will tell and he has far too much on his side.

[Fantasy Verse ▪️ Hunter Becomes the Hunted]
Connor is a skilled huntsman who wields a bow as mightily as a warrior with a sword. Tales of his traverses deeper into the woodland become something of local legend. After all not many have the skill or will to delve into the dark heart of the forest. He sees himself as one with nature. Even as his father trained him in the techniques of a huntsman, he still holds respect for the ecosystem and its inhabitants.
Living on his own has proven isolating at best but he finds the solitude of the wood a far better companion than village folk. A regular boy of the forest, he grew as a hard worker on his parent's farm before it lost its luster. All good things must come to an end. He finds these skills of labor aides him now in his adulthood.
Many tales follow these woods and Connor is neither a believer or denier. He does respect all that comes from the area even those tall tales of the fantastic. They humor him mostly. He deals with what he truly can see, taking hunting contracts to bring in the hide and fur of bears alike. His job can be dangerous but living as a peasant far away from royalty is a better simpler life. He may not be rich but his hunter's heart makes up for it.
When Connor stumbles upon those tall tales in the flesh his simple existence becomes much more interesting. Journeys further into the forest he so admires brings him closer to those mysteries. Perhaps they will even be answered as he falls victim to the glamour of mystical beings. Truthfully this is exactly what he has been searching for.

[Vamp Verse ▪️ His Immortal Beloved]
An ancient of the first order of vampyre dating back to the period of the crusades paints a rather old world image. Connor comes from a noble line of mortal blood long since extinguished from the world. He is all that remains or rather the noble part of this lineage. Vampire royalty, he is a prince of the night realm who was unjustly banished from his homestead by his ruthless brother. An overthrow of the proverbial throne forced him to flee.
In the hundreds of years since he has established his very own clan with loyal subjects that view him as the rightful king. His title remains despite no longer calling home his but that does not stop his influence. While he does not wish a war over the vampire hierarchy, Connor seeks to regain a place among his ancestral court.
Animosity is rife between he and his estranged brother as they once again come into contact. Attending court gatherings are all apart of the society code and he takes advantage of this in a return to his home. While he feasts on the blood of humans as any vampire, the prince does not unjustly torture or kill his prey. He is a bit neater in that aspect. As one of two remaining in a powerful ancient line it is safe to say he is the merciful one.
However, Connor is hardly a pushover and will do what must be done if necessary. Honor among vampires is so fragile in the modern world but he strives to offer it to those he deems worthy. What happens when the prince feels the pull of the mate thread for the first time? Even he believed it was mere fantasy in his world of the dank and undead.

Player movement
This is one entry in a multi-part series. If you haven't read the start of the sandbox demo series, start reading here.
The time has finally come to let the player move around. There are a few ways to handle movement in a 2D game, depending on the type of game. If I were making a precision platformer, I would probably just want fixed speed movement, but I’m not so I’ll go for acceleration with a maximum speed.
Even with that approach there are multiple options though. Here's an equation I've used in the past:
\[v\left(t\right)=a+fv\left(t-1\right)\]
//This is what it would look like in code: player.Velocity *= f; // 0 < f < 1 player.Velocity += a;
\(a\) is the acceleration of the player or entity and \(f\) is the "decay" or friction, generally set to a high decimal value like 0.8. The maximum velocity in this approach is equal to \(\frac{a}{1-f}\). I'm sure you could prove that with limits or something, but I'm going to take the "if it seems to work it's probably right" approach. If I let \(a=1\), the formula evaluates to:
\[v\left(t\right)=s\left(1-f\right)+fv\left(t-1\right)\]
where \(f\) represents the accleration and \(s=v_{\max}\). Oh, and if we're going for low-level optimization, I can cut out a multiplication operation with this simplification:
\[v\left(t\right)=s+f\left(v\left(t-1\right)-s\right)\]
Mathematically, this formula works. In practice, the code is going to have more trouble with it. \(t\) is supposed to represent time, but computers don't always have the same time gap between frames. If I were to lock the framerate I could ignore that issue, but nobody likes framerate locks. To fix this, I'll move outside of algebra and into programming math. Oh, and let's change \(s\) to \(m\) and \(f\) to \(a\) while we're at it.
\[v\rightarrow m+a\Delta t\left(v-m\right)\]
\(\Delta t\) can really be in any time format I want, as long as I set \(a\) accordingly.
So let's put this into code! I'll start with horizontal movement first, as that doesn't really require that I actually implement physics.
if (keyboardState.IsKeyDown(Keybinds.Left)) targetSpeed -= 10; if (keyboardState.IsKeyDown(Keybinds.Right)) targetSpeed += 10; player.Velocity = new Vector2(targetSpeed + (0.9f * (float)gameTime.ElapsedGameTime.TotalSeconds * (player.Velocity.X - targetSpeed)), player.Velocity.Y); player.Position += player.Velocity.ToPoint();
But that didn't work. I mean, it worked in terms of the scaling (my math was right!) but the actual speeds and positions that things were at were wrong. After some testing (some of which involved an actual stopwatch) I realized the problem. I had multiplied the acceleration by the time step, but not the velocity when moving the player. But after I did that, the player wouldn't move at all. I immediately realized the issue: the distance moved per time step is less than one. The positions of entities are stored as points (for reasons that will be explained later), and points use integer x and y values, rather than Vector2s which consist of floating point numbers. I wanted to preserve the exact-ness of the position but still allow for decimal positions, so I decided to comprimise with this little bit of code:
public Vector2 Velocity { get; set; } public Point PointPosition { get { return Position.ToPoint(); } }
C# properties are beautiful, aren't they. I may regret this change later on, but I'll deal with it then. For now, I have other issues. Almost everything is working properly at this point, but the acceleration isn't visible. I changed \(a\) to 0.999f, but even that still wasn't noticable. The time step was too small for my large \(a\) values. At this point I also realized another problem. In the case in which a time step takes longer than one second (which should never happen in theory), everything will break. I'm sure speedrunners would love that, but I'm not making this for speedrunners. I need to guarantee that my \(a\) term is always less than one. I also need to guarantee that my \(a\) term is properly distributed over a second no matter how many updates are contained within that second.
I thought about this puzzle for a while until I finally came to my conclusion: If this is possible to solve, I don't know how to do it. If you can think of a solution to this, tweet me or ask me the answer, because I seriously have no idea. For now, I'm just going to remove the time step factor from the acceleration. Goodbye delta t, you will be missed.
\[v\rightarrow m+a\left(v-m\right)\]
For testing purposes, I'm going to make the player speed be 24 tiles/s or 1.5 chunks/s.
Of course though, the player's velocity shouldn't change mid-air, should it? Or if it does, it should change MUCH slower. My formula doesn't easily allow for things like air control, so while I could probably implement it by changing the \(a\) term while the player isn't grounded, I'll just add a "is player grounded" check before trying to change their velocity. Note that I haven't actually implemented any code that tells me if the player is grounded. I'm just using placeholder variables for now.
Now that I'm done with horizontal velocity (yes, all of that was just for horizontal velocity), I'm going to move on to vertical stuff. I might be able to just use straight acceleration, but I don't really want the player to be clipping through the ground. There are "ray"cast solutions to that, but I'm just going to assume that the player won't be going at ground clipping speeds for now. Is that ignorant? Yes. Do I care? Yes, but I'm willing to overlook it for now.
So I'm going to use raw acceleration anyways, even though I said it was a bad idea. Otherwise it's gonna feel like the player is hanging on to a bunch of balloons whenever move. How does 1 chunk/s2 sound for acceleration due to gravity? I think it sounds fine, so I'm gonna use that.
Let's go back to the collision from last time, specifically this line:
anyCollide = true;
Instead of just checking if there are any collisions, I'm also going to eject the player from the tile. This essentially means that if a player is inside of a tile, I'm going to move them just enough outside of the tile that they are resting right beside the tile. This is where my concern about using Position and PointPosition came from. When using floats for physics, there is often an issue of vertical jitter where the player is displaced just out of the tile, falls back into the tile the next frame, and then is displaced outside in the next frame. Hopefully that won't happen here, but I should keep in mind the possibility that it could.
But how will I perform ejection in the first place? It's not actually quite as hard as it sounds. Remember that stackoverflow answer that was actually a gamedev stackexchange answer that I linked in the previous post? That specifically mentions vertical ejection, but I'll apply the same idea for both axes. However, I won't eject on both axes. If I did, stuff like this would happen all the time:
Tumblr media
Where what I really want is this:
Tumblr media
To fix that, I'll look for the axis which has the lowest intersection, and eject on that axis. I'll know which direction by checking which side of the original entity center the intersection is on.
if (currentRect.Intersects(tileRect)) { anyCollide = true; Rectangle intersection = Rectangle.Intersect(currentRect, tileRect); if (intersection.Width < intersection.Height) { if (intersection.Center.X > currentRect.Center.X) { e.Position += -Vector2.UnitX * intersection.Width; } else { e.Position += Vector2.UnitX * intersection.Width; } e.Velocity *= Vector2.UnitY; } else { if (intersection.Center.Y > currentRect.Center.Y) { e.Position += -Vector2.UnitY * intersection.Height; } else { e.Position += Vector2.UnitY * intersection.Height; } e.Velocity *= Vector2.UnitX; } }
Tumblr media
It works! My problem now is that I have no jump. Adding a jump is easy, but making it only work while the player is grounded is trickier. You might not have noticed the flashing the the gif above due to the framerate of the gif, but the character was flashing between red and green every frame. This is actually a side effect of the jitter I mentioned earlier. The frame after the player is ejected from the ground, they're no longer intersecting the ground, and so they appear red again.
However, this is actually sort of weird behavior due to the semantics of how I programmed and arranged my code. By best guess has to do with the time step being so quick that -16 * UNIT_SIZE * gameTime.ElapsedGameTime.TotalSeconds, the delta-v on the y axis, is less than one.
After some quick testing, I discovered that my hypothesis was in fact incorrect. However, though I may have been wrong, I was certainly on the right track. Each frame, the position is not changed by the velocity, but by the velocity times the time step. Therefore, it would actually take four or five frames to accumulate enough delta-y to intersect the player again.
Creating a fix to this issue which is ignorant of the framerate is pretty tricky. One option is to do an additional intersection check with a rectangle expanded by one unit in every direction. Hopefully this new check can actually replace the old one, as if there is a collision with no intersection, the intersection width or height would be zero, as per the documentation.
I should be able to say that an entity is grounded if the collision pushes them up, or the height of an intersection is zero. It works... I think.
After a bit of testing I decided to increase the acceleration due to gravity, and everything seems to be working fi- oh wait, no, that's not right. I have accidentally implemented wall jumps. Let's fix this by checking the ejection direction of the expanded collision rectangle, and performing the old collision that we know worked.
And it works! The last change that I'm going to make for the post is to change the current lack of air control into a slower acceleration air control. I can do this by just cranking up the \(a\) value from earlier really high while the player isn't grounded.

// These code blocks are getting way too long. bool anyCollide = false; e.Grounded = false; Rectangle entityRect = e.GetCollisionRect(); for (int x = entityRect.Left; x < entityRect.Right + Game1.UNIT_SIZE; x += Game1.UNIT_SIZE) { for (int y = entityRect.Top; y < entityRect.Bottom + Game1.UNIT_SIZE; y += Game1.UNIT_SIZE) { Tile t = GetTile(new Point(x.FloorDivide(Game1.UNIT_SIZE), y.FloorDivide(Game1.UNIT_SIZE))); if (t != null && t.HasCollision) { Rectangle currentRect = e.GetCollisionRect(); Rectangle expandedRect = currentRect.InflateThrough(1, 1); // Uses extension function of Rectangle.Inflate to make a clean one-liner. Rectangle tileRect = new Rectangle(x.FloorDivide(Game1.UNIT_SIZE) * Game1.UNIT_SIZE, y.FloorDivide(Game1.UNIT_SIZE) * Game1.UNIT_SIZE, Game1.UNIT_SIZE, Game1.UNIT_SIZE); if (expandedRect.Intersects(tileRect)) { Rectangle expandedIntersect = Rectangle.Intersect(expandedRect, tileRect); if (expandedIntersect.Height < expandedIntersect.Width && expandedIntersect.Center.Y > expandedRect.Center.Y) e.Grounded = true; anyCollide = true; if (currentRect.Intersects(tileRect)) { Rectangle intersection = Rectangle.Intersect(currentRect, tileRect); if (intersection.Width < intersection.Height) { if (intersection.Center.X > currentRect.Center.X) { e.Position += -Vector2.UnitX * intersection.Width; } else { e.Position += Vector2.UnitX * intersection.Width; } e.Velocity *= Vector2.UnitY; } else { if (intersection.Center.Y > currentRect.Center.Y) { e.Position += -Vector2.UnitY * intersection.Height; } else { e.Position += Vector2.UnitY * intersection.Height; } e.Velocity *= Vector2.UnitX; } } } } } }
And in honor of another game created using XNA, here are some vertical hoiks.

They're a bit harder to control.
