Goretober day 8: Bound & Gagged

Nail Biter 🩵🧡

Rhys Strongfork and Katagawa JR in Borderlands 3

Another small Borderlands art dump

Just some more doodles I've saved up that didn't fit for their own dedicated post.

Siren Song concepts for both Hansuke and Naoko Katagawa.

Hansuke ended up surviving the fight (just barely) but ended up being held captive by the raiders.

By Siren Song, Hansuke is still in the custody of the raiders with a chance to rehabilitate (along with a temporary restraining order from Rhys and Sasha)

As for Naoko, after the war between Atlus and Malawan, Naoko has since settled down in Eden-6 and is aware of the situation with her brother.

Siren Song Lilith with the "scar" she'd received after flying into the moon. It's still unknown if it's a slag scar or something else entirely.

This was made around the same time the movie trailer was released and this is another reminder to please 🏴‍☠️ the movie.

Just a cute family picture of Maya and Krieg with their new daughter🩵

Ok this last one is more of a gag rather than canon.

With Sebastian being a freaky eldritch abomination, he thinks that nothing stranger would happen....... until it happened.

One morning, Basy woke up in hysterics as he was accompanied by an egg and his wife Nat was even more confused than she was before.

Like I've mentioned, this isn't canon.....yet???? I love the idea of Sebastian and Natalie having kids of their own, it's just the idea of how they started a family is what I'm still thinking of.

I don't get why people are so pissed about Katagawa jr or Handsome Jack, they're broken people who have ten million issues and they're trash and we're people who wanna fix trash or just watch it burn at a safe distance xD like how do some people just not get that's the literal point of the games every single character is a dumpster fire and we're just here to watch them burn and have fun

I AGREE THANK YOU!! I swear some people just love to make others feel horrible, katagawa and handsome jack are my comfort characters so when someone tells me I'm wrong for liking them cause of the bad thing they've done I feel insulted. Then I have to tell them hj and katagawa aren't real and suprizingly they get even more mad there was this person on here that called handsome jack a "colonizer" once💀 anyways thank you so much I 100% agree with you!!!

this is my first attempt at a poll because I'm genuinely curious and I've been thinking about my Borderlands rewriting plans and shit and I can't decide which of these alternate-to-canon scenarios I want to go with for katagawa jr

Context: I am insane about the funny Maliwan guy. Lord knows I have a habit of latching onto characters with like 5 minutes of screen time and getting so fixated on their potential that I go mad over it, and he's no exception to that rule.

I also have a huge Borderlands AU in the works that overhauls pretty much everything I didn't personally like in the series and integrates all of these one-off headcanons into one timeline. If I ever finish writing the goddamn document with all the information about this on it, I'll post it 😭

With that said, which one of these four potential arcs for him I could execute do you think would be most fun? Important to note, I'm not necessarily picking the most popular. I'm just curious :3

ALSO, regardless of his penultimate fate I plan on doing a lot more with him and the general Promethea arc in BL3 in terms of insight into Maliwan, his family, and the way it works. That's inevitable. This is just what happens to him after all that.

explanations for the last 2 since they're pretty vague

(***) This one is less realistic, but I don't always care much for realism and him and Rhys' dynamic is never not hilarious to me. Long story made short as possible: this one takes place in a world where getting Maliwan's ass off of Promethea wasn't just as simple as kicking Katagawa in the shins. Even in his absence (presumed death initially), Maliwan's heads (and the disgruntled parents of 13 corporate children) continued to attack the planet in order to recoup losses by taking control of Atlas, a profitable company. (You know, the reason they wanted it in the first place.) Jr. himself plays into this because he survived the VH attack, retreated to Maliwan safe quarters, and then was promptly nearly executed by a family deeply unhappy with his performance. Packing his shit and escaping in another war vessel sent down to Promethea, he decided to use his excellent backstabbing skills to take not only his technical capabilities (I like to assume he made and designed the mock-up Zer0 suit himself, but that's a rant for another day) to his insider knowledge of the company and their weaknesses to Atlas' front fucking door.

TLDR: This isn't some "I'm nice now immediately" type shit, it's more of a "bedraggled feral asshole in a suit begs you to let him work with you on equal footing this time because he wants to kick his family's ass and you can't really afford to say no because you're kinda losing a major corporate war right now" leading into fucking Wacky Coworker Shenanigans(TM).

the last one: Honestly similar to the tangent I went on above, except years of being raised a corporate cult patsy only to encounter failure and nearly be destroyed because of it leads to Kat seeing the rest of his family as "in the way" as his siblings were, leading to him waging internal warfare on the company after his scrape with Vault-Hunter induced death behind the scenes as the battle with Atlas continues. Could also segway into a funny unintentional "the enemy of my enemy is slightly less of my enemy than before" thing with the Atlas crew.

Just back on my mob boss au Katagawa bullshit

👉👈

Something about not being seen as a person...

IM PRETTY SURE THIS IS WHAT KATAGAWA'S DAD WAS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE BUT THEY COMPLETELY DROPPED THE BALL?????
