|| Imagine: Nina showing up out of nowhere in her purple Ferrari LaFerrari to get your muse out of a bind. You speed away together and not long after you ride in awkward tension. You reluctant to thank her, she silently waiting ; curious what the first words out of your mouth will be, absolutely judging how long it's taking you to talk. โ Purple ambient interior lighting dancing off of azures that as far as you can tell don't even glance your way, yet somehow still notice every subtle move you make.
And all the while the Billie Eilish songs playing out her stereo are not helping the situation in the slightest. ๐๐

|| Not to post some Saturday sadness but I'd like to point out how incredibly sad it is that growing up Anna wanted nothing more than to be accepted by Richard and probably take Nina's place as the favorite someway somehow. When from Nina's side of things being the favorite equals having emotional repression experiments done on you, probably being punished for empathizing with anyone / anything or getting even slightly emotional about something, no friends, not even a shred of a normal life because diverging from Richard's wishes results in being berated and outright ignored by her own father if not possibly worse.
And Anna just.. doesn't see it. All she sees is her sister being showered in attention while she stands in her shadow, and while I am almost certain Nina wished she could trade places with her as well way more than once. โ We know Anna wasn't forced to undergo the same things Nina was growing up just by looking at her in the games. Anna's more extroverted, she clearly has some capability to empathize even a little, and if anything she's almost too emotional in and outside of fights.
Yet somehow, Nina still remains as her blind spot. She sadly can't seem to see her perspective of things at all.

๐บ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐จ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ธ๐๐๐๐'๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐โฒใป*:๏ฝฅ๏พย :
First, I have mixed feelings about her design. In general I mostly like it, but I am very curious about the implications behind it. Mainly how the new hairstyle, the style of the dress and the fishnet stockings definitely give more Anna vibes than Nina. It's a very odd mix of Anna vibes and Nina's cocktail dress from DBD vibes? Thus I am very curious about what the new look may be foreshadowing with her and Anna's relationship in T8. โ It could either be another case of Nina did something horrible and is pulling another wedding dress stunt - or, depending on what Anna's new design may be, it could be a case of maybe by some miracle the sisters are finally starting to put themselves in each others shoes and see each others perspectives.
Itโs a small detail and probably doesnโt mean much, but I also find the gold accents interesting. Canon outfits wise and other than T5, after T1 weโve really only ever seen Nina with silver accents.
If there's one thing I don't like about her new design, it's the fringe on her dress, and the fact that now muses that ship w her won't be able to make her blush by freeing her hair from her ponytail ๐ฅบ๐ (at least in her T8 verse). Like that's one of the biggest things she's soft to no wonder she cut it. ๐๐ โ As for the awkward fringe on her dress, I feel like making her outfit either a simple shorter cocktail dress or a top & skirt / shorts would've been far better? Or hell just keep the long dress and get rid of the fringe, it bugs me way more than it should omg.
But also JUSTICE FOR NINA'S BANGS 2K23 FINALLY ๐ญ๐๐๐๐ As someone who highly prefers a side part herself, I can not tell you how many times I've wished Nina would switch to one but I didn't think it would ever happennnn. I'm loving it for herrr.
I am also absolutely in love with how they're letting our fatal Queen use her weapons ๐ญ๐ Her new rage art is perfection โจ
I got my wish of Mary returning to voice Nina yet again ๐ฅบ๐ With how busy she's been w tlovm and no doubt probably other projects, one of my biggest concerns was she wouldn't be available this time around and I am so glad that concern can now be put to rest.
I'm also very curious about how they chose a stage set seemingly close to a Zaibatsu facility to portray her in? It could be nothing, just a matter of them wanting to show off that stage, but it really has me thinking about where she might stand on the whole Zaibatsu vs G-Corp vs Yggdrasil thing now. โ Someone else on twitter pointed out the fact that she's fighting Lars in half of her trailer might indicate she's still against Yggdrasil? But idk if I 100% believe that or not. โ The always amazing and wonderful @teslagravity pointed out her new ending w the helicopter is very reminiscent of her ending with Anna from Tag 2 which just further has me speculating both of their current stances in this war.
But overall I am hella hype. Hella excited. The new look is going to take some getting used to for sure, but I am so looking forward to where things might be going for our Queen ๐๐๐
Still not quite sure about what I may do for a T8 verse quite yet since what Nina's up to was kept pretty vague in her trailer. But I do want to work on progressing things a little bit instead of just waiting for more info. I'll likely be sticking with my after T7 - pre-T8 main verse for now, just starting to lean closer to T8 timeline wise unless a interaction calls for otherwise.
In the meantime, look how pretty!!ย ๐ญ โฒใป*:๏ฝฅ๏พ:

|| Tbh I wonder what was the turning point that finally made Richard realize "maybe teaching my daughter how to kill, making her follow in my footsteps, limiting her emotions and neglecting my other child wasn't the best idea" ??
He clearly seems to be thinking things over regarding his daughters situation when he was on his deathbed pleading with Nina to make amends with Anna. โ Was it his divorce? Nina being kidnapped the first time? Was it Nina planting a bomb under Anna's car? Anna shooting up Nina's hotel room? Did the two do something worse that we don't know about?
Which of these actions that should've made him think a long fucking time ago finally got through his thick skull?
