Bayonetta fanon discovering that Luka was always a head taller than her since the 1st game are now in shambles.

all because a fan fucked up at measuring her proportions.

You gotta pay attention to the game fam

Bayonetta has always been deeper character than people give her credit for.

So I have adored Cereza and The Lost Demon a lot more than I thought I would. But I was watching a review video on the game and one of the points they brought up was how the game makes Bayonetta "A more three dimensional character". While I agree with this, it got me thinking about how a lot of the more subtle and deeper aspects of Bayonetta's character are overlooked, even by people who like her.

There's always been more to her than "Dommy Mummy step on me please"tm who kills supernatural forces with style. Don't get me wrong that's still a huge part of her but she does have other aspects of her.

She is very protective and nurturing like we see in the first game with how she protects and cares for her younger self. In Bayonetta 2 when Loki is struggling with his memories she mentors him and gives advice. As much as she taunts him she is still trying to in her own round about way give him good advice.

She is a fiercely loyal friend who literally went to Hell and back for Jeanne. Regardless of whatever wrong direction platinum themselves take their relationship there can be no doubt Bayonetta loves and cares for her best friend. So much so that one of the only times we've seen her drop her confidence and actually panic is when she thought she was too late to save Jeanne.

Her relationship with her parents is actually very tragic. She was separated from her mother at a young age, and even came upon her mother's dead body during the witch hunts. Then she killed her own father thinking he was an evil bastard who used her and her mother. Only to then learn, no actually he did love her and her mother so much he was willing to destroy himself and his reputation to protect them.

Even her relationships with her mundane friends have depth to them. She goes from teasing Luka with her pet name to showing him she recognizes him as a person she respects by addressing him by name. Even the way she drags Enzo everywhere illustrates she has a weird affection for the little gremlin man.

Bayonetta 3's Bayonetta feels so much hollower by comparison because they made the stupid decision to isolate her for the vast majority of it. Bayonetta depth comes out in her relationships to both friend and foe alike.

Cereza and The Lost Demon does a wonderful job of putting her relationships to other characters at the forefront. But that three dimensional character has always been there. People just needed to look a little harder to see it.

This made me realize how hard it is to draw Vash like this was a struggle. Also I just took lyrics from Mysterious Destiny cause I thought it sounded cool and it kinda fits him a lil yknow… Also ignore the “rendering” I gave up 💀

I love the idea of a near 60 year old bayonetta with visible aging

She has wrinkles and gray hair and maybe arthritis but still kicking angel asses with a 60 year old Jeanne

Actual Bayonetta alternate timelines

- universe where Rosa’s sin was never discovered, Cereza was raised as a normal Umbra witch, and the war with the Lumen sages never occurred. Both clans in power to the modern day.

- universe where Cereza was raised by Balder as a Lumen sage (tomboy or transmasc Bayo?), Lumen sages won the first war. Lumen sages are still dominant, but the Umbra witches are also present in the modern day.

- universe where Jeanne never sealed Cereza away, and they’ve been working together through the ages to undermine Balder’s schemes.

- universe where Balder succeeded and Jubileus created a new world (this would require that there are alternate Paradisios and Infernos as well, which only makes sense to me tbh)

- universe where Jeanne beat Cereza in their original duel, took the Umbra throne and the Left Eye of Darkness, and Cereza sealed her in the lake during the Witch Hunts. Jeanne woke up in the modern day with her memories gone, and Cereza brainwashed by the angels etc etc.

- universe where Umbra witches fended off the Witch Hunts and took over the world.

- universe where Jeanne failed to save Bayonetta from Gomorrah (very angsty).

- universe where Bayonetta was defeated while trying to save Jeanne from Inferno (darkest timeline).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY BALDUR

[shadowcatgirl09]

I wonder how Rosa and Balder got together; were they enemies to lovers? Did they have a meet cute moment? Was it insta love or slow burn? How did they keep it secret for so long from both the Umbran Witches and the Lumen Sages? So many questions.

[pearlofabyss]

Use Durex so you wouldn't annihilate the Witch hunts 💅

I know it’s probably not true bc Lore, but I’d love to think that wherever they are, they’re together now.
