so I finished playing Phantom Liberty and this is what stuck with me

#song so mi #songbird #my v: i've known songbird for a day and a half but if anything happens to her i'm going to murder everyone in nc including myself #to quote some space idiot: do you think i care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference #cyberpunk 2077 #phantom liberty #in hindsight me shipping v with song harder than any other characters including the romance options might just have lots to say about mysel #i need somebody who understands. more than anything

trial and error in sharing a brain with a terrorist while you sleep

also my favorite panel by itself:

#cyberpunk 2077 #johnny silverhand #i drew this tag #johnny is a pioneer in creating new childhood trauma on an adult #there's a couple fics where johnny saves v from a nightmare #i think the opposite idea would be super angsty at first with v waking up from Johnny's war terrors #but then i went hang on.. what if... its a shitpost instead...#just dont think about baby v tryna get into Johnny's box of memories #also haha johnny's ass sitting down here makes me laugh #lil guy v

"I don't make deals with the Devil; I make friendship bracelets."

#Cyberpunk 2077 #CP2077 #V #Johnny SIlverhand #Thinking about the dichotomy of Johnny being the devil on your shoulder but also -- potentially-- being your best friend if you let him #And one of the only people who genuinely has V's best interests in mind after a while #The concept of making friends with the demon in your head is................lovely honestly/#It was also born of me realizing that there are a few songs I associate with Johnny and V but also particularly Riley that eplore the idea #of the singer having a conversation with the Devil a la Devil Went Down to Georgia #It's Called: Freefall is even in Riley's specific character playlist; though tbf it is the Paris Paloma cover #Aldi speaks #Literature

Oh boy you better get your asses ready because I just beat the game again on 2.1+ and I think it actually has interesting implications for Kerry’s romance. SPOILERS FOR THE SUN ENDING SPECIFICALLY!

Like many other players, I got the Sun ending the first time I played, and (other than when I’m roleplaying a new type of character) it’s the ending I always go for and consider canon for my main oc Vesper. Over on the subreddit(s), people seem to view this ending as definitely 100% implying that V finds a cure and lives to see old age. While of course I would love my character to live a long and happy life, I don’t think that’s the case. V free floats off into space toward a several trillion dollar heavily guarded spacecraft filled with the most elite of the elite. That job was a suicide mission, and I interpreted this ending as V going out with a bang so they could finally, actually become a real Night City legend.

I believe Kerry knows this. When he calls you during the credits, Kerry asks you in a casual tone to buy some olives on your way back, then his voice gets soft and he goes, “Actually, you know what, forget it. I’ll buy them myself.” He does this backtracking in conversation several times during his romance, and I always read it as him being uncomfortable talking about his feelings. He stops himself from apologizing to V during A Like Supreme: Kerry gives V the gun he tried to shoot Johnny with, V reminding him that he was actually aiming the gun at V’s head. Kerry says “yeah…” in an apologetic tone and then starts saying “And earlier when–” then stops himself and says “nevermind.” Kerry also does this during Boat Drinks. He starts by saying “You shake things up, V. Make me feel…” trails off for a second, then stutters before saying “uh, I mean.” It sounds like he has a habit of stopping himself when he starts to feel he’s being too vulnerable.

Now, during the Sun epilogue, Kerry doesn’t hesitate when he tell’s V “I don’t want to lose you.” This would normally be a very vulnerable thing to say, and Kerry’s shown that he always backtracks in moments such as these. He even goes so far as to repeat it and make direct eye contact as he says it again. This makes it seem like maybe he’s done some emotional growing and is now more comfortable talking about his feelings, specifically with V. So, if that were the case, why does he restart the habit of backtracking in the credits call? He doesn’t backtrack during the emotional part, when he tells V he wants them to spend more time together and try to be less busy for one another. He only corrects himself when he talks about V coming back. Because he knows V isn't coming back. Even before that, right before V gets on the flying Delamain to head to the Afterlife, he says “Take care of yourself.” to Kerry, which feels very final, like he doesn’t think he’ll see Kerry again.

With all the other romances, saying goodbye in the mansion makes perfect sense. Panam is leaving with the Aldecaldos, Judy is leaving Night City for good, and River expresses that he feels their relationship doesn't feel equal. The conversation V has with Kerry feels very much like any of their other conversations throughout the game: Kerry talks about his stuff, then once he’s gotten it out of his system, asks how V is doing. But with some notable, very subtle changes.

Kerry is always excited to talk about himself, and rarely asks much about V unless he’s making sure V isn’t already dead. The text that actually sparked me wanting to put these thoughts to paper is the one where Kerry takes a personality quiz and it labels him as a narcissist. He’s self absorbed, sure, but he doesn't have the psychiatric disorder Narcissism as far as I’m convinced. Whichever reply you send, his responses are pretty funny. However, getting that text reminded me that the first time I played Cyberpunk I really wasn’t all that into Kerry as a character, and definitely not as a romance option.

So, the conversation you have in V’s mansion in the Sun ending is actually much more V focused than previous interactions with Kerry. When Kerry asks if you’re alright, even if you say everything’s fine, he still insists that he’s there for V and willing to talk, cuddle, fuck, whatever V needs. This is in stark contrast to when you call Kerry on the rooftop before picking your ending. During that call, he definitely notices something is off with V and asks if he’s ok, but doesn’t press any further when V says he’s fine. His dialog in the Sun ending is strangely caring for Kerry, who otherwise always seemed like V was more of a convenient side-piece with whom he shared a mutual friend. Obviously, as I’ve played the game more and considered Kerry’s quests and dialog options from different angles, I really like him as a character and see much more of his depth than I did on my first playthrough.

Now here’s why playing the game on version 2.1+ is important: 2.1 added dates with your romance options to the game (the “I really want to stay at your house” repeatable quest). If you were to consider the new texts, dialog, and gift responses from the perspective of any of the other endings, Kerry’s replies sound somewhat out of character. The phrasing, the word choice, the tone is all Kerry, but the sentiment is decidedly not so. “I really like you, V. Thought I should remind you.” after the first time he goes over to V’s. His response to getting the flowers or car, he’s almost too complimentary; I feel like Kerry would mention everything wrong with the gift first, then admit that he actually likes it, but still find a way to show his appreciation without saying the words “thank you, V.”

However, if you put everything added in 2.1 into the context of the Sun ending, it starts to feel like Kerry is growing as a person. That’s what his whole quest string was about, sure, but you don’t see him put any of those personal changes into practice after Boat Drinks (mostly because all the romance options just stop leaving their houses once you reach the end of their questlines). So the sweet, appreciative texts after dates and gifts, leading into the way he’s much more focused on V and their relationship during the Sun ending, It actually feels like a natural growth for his character. It’s like the dates, the gifts, the cute little replies, are all the beginning stages of him becoming a much more attentive partner in the Sun ending. Kerry even says himself, before V gets on the Delamain, that their relationship has changed his outlook on life and helped him reprioritize things. The 2.1 additions actually make it feel like we watched that journey begin for him, instead of it just being told to us after a time skip.

#maybe im making connections that arent there #but honestly it makes me like kerry even more #i think about this man too much #cyberpunk 2077 #kerry eurodyne #cyberpunk #cbp 2077 #cyberpunk kerry #kerry x v #v x kerry

Phantom Liberty left such a lasting damage on me. Aside from other things, just remembering Vik and what happened to him and his place, remembering what happened to V and what a horrible ending that is, that makes me physically sick even months later after finishing the DLC.

And there are other things that I'm not even ready to talk about right now. The naming was very fitting, but why such angst, CDPR? Why? Why not let people have good and happy endings?

Call me a fool, but the second game where Johnny and V both stay alive, and where the romance is possible, and everything good is possible—that would be nice. And there's still hope in me for some reason, even though I understand that none of that is probably gonna happen.

#cyberpunk 2077 #phantom liberty #cb2077 #natisplaying #V has no friends #and she can't go with misty #and she has no one #and vik is there but it's not the same #and he's also heartbroken in a way #oh it makes me sick to even think about that #viktor vektor #silverv #johnny silverhand

thinking about johnny and v wearing matching sweaters and cuddling up in the badlands at night. they have a blanket wrapped around them and they’re also drinking something warm. they’re just sitting and watching how pretty night city looks from far away and content in each others company

#i love making johnny and v have matching stuff #i just find it so cute!!!!#thinking about this because i’m very cold despite having two blankets over me #at least they can be warm when i’m not ❤️#silverv #cp2077 #cyberpunk 2077 #johnny silverhand #v #my writing #johnny silverhand x v

Cyberpunk 2077 made me feel a lot of things (I still remember my very first playthrough when I wasn't able to save V's neighbor because I thought "it's just another sidequest, it can wait, right?"), but Edgerunners just broke me.

One of very few pieces of media I actively didn't want to watch until the end because I knew it wasn't going to be pretty.

Can we just go back to episode 4?

#cyberpunk 2077 #cyberpunk edgerunners #edgerunners #tbh to me lucy felt like judy on steroids #just another character i wanted to be happy and get the fuck out of night city #and I've been thinking about just how many life skills David lacked in comparison to V #even nomad V knew a lot more about surviving the city and that didn't stop the game's betrayals #david was nowhere near ready to face everything #he thought he could but i was like 'oh boy is this how you think things work around here?'#anyway like i said it's very rare for me to not want to finish something because it's making me feel that bad #but i do think that's quite the compliment

can you imagine if the cyberpunk fandom fucked a little harder with the horrors of arasaka though. like yeah in game they're so completely fucked up as a corporation and you do see a lot of that but do you ever remember there are millions of corpo rats who don't?

like they have to run the rat race from their cubicles every day knowing they could be bumped off for any slight misconduct but it's so much better than placing their lives in the hands of the city itself because at least arasaka would know how to make it fast and easy

#cp2077 #once again corpo v enchants me #i love the trope of #guy gets disillusioned with the greater power they had put their entire faith into #so now that theyre without it #theyre without a part of themselves #and its rlly fucking with their identity #my post #is this anything is this making sense #anyway ive been thinking about making a cyberpunk oc #whos got monowire n is spider like #like some FREAKASS data weaver or smthing
