Tequila Sunrise, Blue Hawaii, and Mojito for Jam-V please :D
𝗺𝗼𝗷𝗶𝘁𝗼 〜 does your oc have any tattoos and/or piercings? if so, what are they? if not, do they want any?
i dont draw her with any primarily due to laziness and it would be too much to remember to put on given i forget to draw her with clothes 80% of the time in my notes. but in my mind i do like some of the tattoos from the game but like only parts of them. i like this part of a body tattoo from the game
but only this part and itd probably be on her upper back/lower back.
or this one i like but only the back/shoulder parts of this body tattoo i do not like the blackout chunks from the front of this one
itd be one or the other in this case. ive contemplated my v getting a type of tattoo that interconnects/plays with scars on the body in a more story related way but i can't quite think of what she would chose to do with that yet, if at all. piercing wise probably not, maybe a brow piercing.
𝘁𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗮 𝘀𝘂𝗻𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲 〜 what kind of hobbies does your oc enjoy? is there anything they’ve always wanted to do but never had the time/resources to try?
the more mundane things ive not thought about alot tbh. growing up in heywood and also me taking a smthn from the dlc files ive seen so far i think shed enjoy casual sports/street sports like basketball or soccer or smthn else. given a line v can say to takemura about hopping across buildings maybe even parkour in a not merc work focused way. as for something shed want to do but never had the time probably playing an instrument which like thats fun material for her n johnny but maybe seeing street players there was always a background 'oh i wish'/'that seems cool' but life in nc and all that entails isnt much conducive to that. maybe more wanting to play or sing stuff for/with judy too. and dancing maybe. not necesarrily like club dancing but cheesy old school like ballroom/partner dancing.
𝗯𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗶𝗶 〜 does your oc speak any other language(s)? if they didn’t learn to speak the language(s) when they were growing up, when and why did they learn it?
i think the game kinda mishandled/misunderstood how multilingual a southern central californian city would be in the year 2077 and maybe thats a consequence of the game being made in poland, but like anyone who grows up there if they werent fully bilingual in spanish/english would at least be passibly conversible in either language. translation sofware aside. so i imagine my v would be, even if its a case of understanding more than one can speak, or able to hold conversations with storeowners but not necesarrily have a philosophical convo w/ someone in the 2nd language. id imagine people growing up there would know/understand beyond just hello/thank you stuff from japanese or even mandarin given city wide announcements happen in game in those languages.
ty for the ask!!!! 💖

Spare 🥀 🌺 and 🍌 for the ask meme pls?
Thank you for the ask @setaflow! 💖 ...Also these are not quotes but excerpts. 😬
🥀 favorite angst quote from a published work
Ooooh I was hoping to get this one again. I answered here before so I'll go with my second fave, but also from No One's Gonna Love You:
“Did you fuck things up with her already?”
Mitch rarely gets angry, even less so with Panam, but he’s borderline furious. He sucks on the cigarette and recalls the way his name fell from V’s lips, the look in her eyes when he ran off to pilot the panzer alone, how she clung to him at their reunion days ago.
“That what she tell you? That I fucked up?” Staring at the ground he grinds his teeth, then looks up with a shrug and ashes the cigarette. “Maybe I did. Wouldn’t be the first time. But if I did, I wanna know how because I'm pretty goddamn certain I did everything right.”
“She hasn’t said shit to me about it other than asking me to return Scorpion’s bike because she’s clearly not talking to you, meanwhile days ago you two were practically banging in public.”
“Dunno what you want from me, Pan. I’m giving her the space she needs.”
“Space?” Panam’s voice grows shrill. “You think V needs space right now?”
“What she told me, but sounds like you think I’m wrong for listening to what she says she needs. So tell me, Pan,” Mitch snarls, and he hates the tone his voice takes when he gets cruel like this but he hurts too much to stop, “what exactly should I do for the woman who tells me she needs space after coming to me for a pity fuck?”
Panam gawps at him. Even he thinks he went too far.
🌺 favorite poetic quote from a published work
From "Blaze of Glory", one of the best lines I've ever written:
Mitch thinks back to the day she helped send Scorpion off. He hadn’t wanted to handle it alone, and this city girl who barely knows him drives out to the desert and helps send his best friend and lover to the next life—not that either of ’em believed in that shit. There was a moment when they stood there on the bridge, beers in hand, and he saw his opportunity with her. Grief was always good for short-cutting that emotional connection and there he is, collapsing under the weight of Driss’s death; he will never be more vulnerable in his life.
She stands before him, red curls flaming in the sunlight, her beautiful lips twisted in pain, fingers twitching around the beer in her hands. He’s slumped against the railing, heart bare on his face. He just has to step to her, set his beer down. Let his fingers linger on hers as he pulls the bottle from her grip, then place it beside his. Cup her face, lean in.
But he doesn’t do it, can’t. Driss wouldn’t like it—not Mitch railing V, that he would’ve approved of, but the ‘dishonesty’ of using his emotions like that—and probably neither would V, after the feelings settle and all that’s left between them is the beautiful ghost of a panzerboy.
🍌 favorite funny quote from a wip
From "This Must Be the Place (Home)," the next installment of the Into My Arms series:
“I hope you’re hungry, Mitch. I always cook for V—that is, whenever I can get her to show,” Lupe says with a pointed look.
Mitch smirks at V then answers, “Reckon your food was some fraction of why we’re staying with you. I’ve heard stories.”
“When V came to live with us she was skin and bone. She looked like a drowned rat. The way she ate, you’d think she lived off those vending machine burritos her whole life.”
“And now she probably wishes she still lived off those burritos.”
Cheeks burning she mutters, “Bad idea putting the two of you together.”
“Gotta disagree, Val,” Mitch answers with a grin, and Lupe swivels her head so fast V wonders if she pulled a muscle in her neck. Lupe narrows her eyes and purses her lips as she looks at V, but she says nothing. “You’ve got everyone at camp to dish out all my secrets but I don’t know the first about yours.”

3, 8, 24. Make me cry or my money back >:3
make you CRY?
3. Do they try to prevent unnecessary suffering?
When Viko is doing well, absolutely! He's not big on making life hard for people or . When he's doing badly, cotard's syndrome bad, he doesn't care what happens to other people cause to him they are not real or stuck in the same hell he's in.
Reev??? That's a tricky one because he likes causing what he thinks is necessary suffering. But he's going out of his way to make sure that no cyberpsychos die. But he did drive after someone for 2 miles after they clipped his car while he was back out.....so take with that what you will.
Vulp will keep hitting someone with a baseball bat even if they're already knocked out.
8. Do they feel glee at the sight of blood?
When he got really into his merc work, Viko did feel a certain amount of glee at seeing blood, because it meant he was doing his job right. Viscera, not so much. He's a knife thrower so he's not seeing a lot of blood. 2079!Viko is a little different cause he's a lot softer but also has interesting kinks, to put it lightly.
I would say Reev feels glee seeing blood, but that's definitely not a good thing. Upon getting to Night City and Vik giving him access to NCPD records, Reev decided that he was judged, jury, and executioner.
Vulp is a little freak man and he definitely likes blood
24. Do they like maiming?
Viko does not like maiming and the idea of doing that to someone really freaks him out
Reev will only maim if he thinks it's necessary, otherwise, he will simply kill.
Vulp will just maim a mother fucker with a baseball bat. It's a terrible habit.
#butchsquatch cyberpunk#this took 800 years to finish oh my god#really had to flex my brain#it's funny to see how much less violent Viko is compared to my other boys#he did spend like 15 years with basically a desk job so#thank you for the question setaflow!

Been tagged twice and alright, if you have to twist my arm and ask me to post more words... :3 <3 <3 <3
Tagged by @fly-amanitaa for night, breeze, jealous, & collide
Tagged by @setaflow for retort, sun, length, & knuckle
Tagging @corpocyborg, @gamerkitten, @luvwitch, @genocidalfetus, @another-corpo-rat (as usual, no pressure) with chrome, whisper, burn, sky
Mild nsfw on "breeze" but it's not terribly explicit.
night
“All you ever want to do is go out drinking and have me be your wingman,” she continued, rummaging through the wrappers in the cup holders. If she was looking for his amphetamines she was going to be disappointed. “Then what– I talk you up to some nice girl and she has a mediocre night. That your idea of a fun surprise?”
“Never had any complaints. But if you wanted you could see for yourself.”
-> when her edges soften, ch. 1
breeze
V pushed her right hand up the inside of his shirt, pulling it up over her elbow while the breeze cooled his sweat. Her voice was half a growl. “Please tell me one of those advantages–“ She kissed his neck sweetly, against the stinging pain. “–is you’re not a one-hit KO.”
“Jesus Christ, V, at least give me a minute.” He said, voice a little hoarse. “First round just ended.” He turned his head before she could put her wet fingers in his mouth. She wiped them off on his throat, instead, and then stepped back, leaving him panting and exposed, leaning his face against the cool brick.
-> when her edges soften, ch. 1
jealous
Panam shifted in her chair, body twisted into an improbable curve that looked extremely uncomfortable. She was focused on V now, the churn of her thoughts visible in her expression. V wondered if she was even going to be hungover in the morning, and was preemptively jealous.
“You never mentioned you were corpo,” she said finally, but without any rancor.
“Would you have worked with me if I had?”
Panam considered this for a moment. “Probably not.”
-> the damn things overlap, ch. 7
collide (colliding)
Saul, who knew Goro spoke English and thus had a pretty good idea of what he might feel compelled to say in another language, frowned deeply. But Terry struggled with the simple shock of someone finding a stranger was foreign twice over, and was trying to understand what that meant.
The alarming crunch of two large objects colliding and the subsequent shriek of metal sliding past metal interrupted this calculation. She swore a blue streak and exploded into motion, moving quickly despite her pronounced limp. Her absence seemed to take all the air with her, and V had it in her to hope distantly no one had hit her car.
-> the damn things overlap, ch. 7
retort
(miss) :)
sun
Goro woke V while the sun was still down, unconscious grip on her tightening as he battled some dream. She didn’t know whether trying to wake him would help or only make it worse, so she waited until a jerk of his arm woke him. He let out one long, slow breath, and she pretended to be asleep as he gently pulled her in closer. Eventually she felt his limbs go slack again, and he fell asleep while her mind composed a little tune that swam in and around to the rhythm of his heartbeat.
<Johnny.> The thought took more effort than it should have. He didn’t answer, but the song stuttered, just a bit. <Johnny?>
-> the damn things overlap, ch. 12 (wip)
length
Still, no matter how early she managed to arrive, Goro was nearly always there before her, looking well rested and without a hair out of place.
This morning was much the same, and V slid into her chair, trying not to stare at his back as he busied himself making his usual cup. Once, he had talked at great length about the virtues of tea, from the plant to the processing to the ritual of consuming it, and so it was only with great difficulty that she endured the sight of him configuring the machine to brew the ugliest, thickest, oiliest brew of coffee it could create only to cut it with an obscene amount of milk and sugar. That he viewed even the finest coffee only as a convenient source of caffeine was endurable, but to watch him produce such a monstrosity in front of her was too much to bear.
-> catch for us the foxes
knuckle (knuckles)
When he was gone, she returned to the mirror, shivering in some strange combination of grief and fury. Her body felt raw, disjointed, unclean. She wanted to break the mirror, but just at the thought of it she could smell the mildew from the motel bathroom, feel the blood on her healed knuckles, trapped in an endless self-cannibalizing loop of bad and worse.
“Too bad you missed that, huh?” She bared her teeth at her own reflection, humiliated at the realization she actually wanted Johnny to answer.
She did not punch the mirror. She did not, but she wanted to. She wanted–
-> the damn things overlap, ch. 4
#tag game#cyberpunk 2077 fanfic#my fic#finally got stumped with a word lol. i actually did have it in a cut piece but i genuinely dislike it because it's like 2 years old#before i had a much better handle on the characters#still laughing to myself thinking that goro actually doesn't like coffee at all and only drinks it specifically to annoy valentine#it's about playing the long game#he's definitely got like 20 better sources for stimulants including caffeine

Rules: tag 9 people you wanna get to know better
Last Song: Francesca - Hozier (the day this song came out I started writing a fic for it this song has consumed me)
Currently Watching: The answer is always Star Trek, but also watching the Pokémon Sun and Moon anime because @skippygiraffee got me hooked on it as the superior Pokémon game and I need Rowlet in my life
Currently Reading: Physical books I haven’t touched since I finished my masters, so I get to use this as fic promo. Fic wise, rereading @skippygiraffee’s ‘No Exit’, reading @trashcatsnark’s ‘Can You Feel The Sun?’, @glitchinginthegarden ‘Fool’s Gold’, @setaflow’s ‘Rain in the Desert’, ‘and ‘Free Your Ghosts’ which I don’t know the tumblr url of who writes that one but it slaps, but all these fics go hard I can’t recommend them enough
Current Obsession: Again Pokemon Sun and Moon is consuming my brain and I need to hold Rowlet like my life depends on it. Always replaying Cyberpunk, and watching the Nightclub scene from John Wick 4 on a daily basis

Get to Know Me
thanks for tagging me @setaflow! 💕
Are you named after anyone? Yes--I was named after two of my mom's best friends, with both my first and middle name.
When was the last time you cried? Last weekend when I watched Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3
Do you have kids? Nope, and I never will.
Do you use sarcasm a lot? I don't think so. I will with friends every once in a while, but for the most part, I don't. My dad used to get onto me when I was sarcastic so I was trained out of it lol.
What sports do you play/have you played? I've never played sports because I'm asthmatic.
What's the first thing you notice about other people? Their clothes, I love seeing everyone's sense of style.
Eye color? Really dark brown
Scary movies or happy endings? Both. I enjoy scary movies (even though I don't scare easy) but I also love happy ending stories. I get attached to characters and want them all to have their happy ending.
Any special talents? Not really, I'm basic lol
Where were you born? Oklahoma, unfortunately
What are your hobbies? Reading, writing, playing video games, going to concerts
Do you have any pets? I have my cat that lives with me, then at my parent's house I have four cats and two dogs
How tall are you? 5'6
Fave subject in school? English--is anyone surprised?
Dream job? I would love to be a story writer for video games. I used to say author, but I don't have the motivation to write that much anymore. Maybe one day.

Find the Word/Manuscript Search Tag
Tagged by @setaflow (wait, wind, teeth, hope) and @fly-amanitaa (safe, breathe, regret, light) -- thank you both! This one looked like a lot of fun so I'm excited to give it a go! I'm using my three most recent WIPs -- the corpo AU longfic, and two PWPs that are based on prompts I received in April -- one will be the next in the Streetkid Val series, and one is post corpo AU longfic.
Results and tags after the cut bc it got long 😂
wait
This is from the corpo AU longfic, and the clear winner -- three times in three paragraphs lmao
[Mitch] steps into the apartment, again feeling out of place. He decides to take her up on the offer and orders a coffee from the vending machine, then pulls out a stool at the bar and waits. The quality of the coffee disappoints him—bitter and burnt—but then he’s been spoiled by camp coffee his whole adult life.
He glances around the penthouse as he waits. It looks the same as it did before, everything in perfect place. He wonders if she even lives here because the place feels sterile. He’s not sure he’s seen anything that looks remotely like her.
A set of matching suitcases wait by the elevator—four of them, matte black with shiny silver accents, two large and two smaller.
wind
This was an interesting one because of the homonyms, and I had "wind" as in twisting, but I was hoping for "wind" as air current, and I found one in the corpo longfic!
Her eyes crinkle as the smile returns and his breath quickens, and as an excuse to look away he digs his cigarettes from his pockets. He leans back on the couch and exhales smoke at the tent ceiling. She makes no moves to fill the silence and he’s thankful. They’ve sat in silence plenty on her visits to camp, and he always finds it welcome; hardly a moment’s peace around camp, and he appreciates the break from chatter.
His chest aches as his thoughts turn to the first time they sat like this, when she stayed behind on the bridge despite his wishes to the contrary. He’d wanted solitude for his sorrow, but then she grabbed a chair and sat there beside him, nothing between them but the tinkle of glass and slosh of beer and the wind.
teeth
Ohhh it was hard to pick one because, yeah... but I was good 😏 Also from the corpo longfic
“If that’s what it takes to get you in a suit,” she says and gives him another full smile.
His stomach twists and his cheeks warm and he looks away. He’d thought he was over that little crush he’d developed after Scorp died, but after the last half hour he’s no longer sure. Suddenly spending a month with her in a hotel room seems like a questionable decision.
“Uh, something I should probably ask first. We’ll have two beds, right?”
“What, you don’t wanna snuggle? I’m a good snuggler,” she says, pulling her bottom lip between her teeth as she grins at him. Cheeks burning hotter, he shakes his head and scoffs though he can’t stop his mouth from curving up. “Yes, we’ll have two beds. Already talked to my contact about some of the detes and a two bedroom suite is a firm requirement for me taking the contract.”
hope
...and another from the corpo longfic.
The boxing match quiets and the chair wheels squeak as Vik rolls over on it. “How ya feeling, kid?”
Mitch guffaws. “Kid? Been a minute since anyone called me that. Don’t think you have that many years on me.”
Vik laughs, a rich sound that fills the room. “Know I do, Mitch. You forget, I got your medical records right here. Had hair on my balls before you were born.”
“Heh, hope to look as good at your age,” he answers without thinking. Vik blushes, and Mitch does too, and he quickly changes the subject. “’m feeling okay, just a bit of a headache, some nausea.”
safe
Heyyyy from something else! This is from the "rough or gentle" prompt which ofc turned into something angsty bc that's just how things are with Streetkid Val 😬
“C’mon, city girl. Not gonna kill you.”
Normally when he calls her “city girl” she loves it; beyond just another term of affection, something about the way he says it makes her tremble. But this time, it feels like an insult rather than affection so she scowls and crosses her arms.
“How do you know?”
“Because it’s from deep underground, away from any ground pollution. Had a well on the farm; grew up drinking the stuff. Promise it’s safe. ’Sides, they test it regularly.”
breathe
Another from corpo longfic. I promise I'm searching the others first lol this one just has a higher chance since it's 30-120x the words of the other two lmao
She nods again, then jerks her chin at him. “Can I get one of those?”
“’Course.”
He pulls out the pack and taps one out for her to take. Just as he reaches out with the lighter intent on passing it to her, she leans forward, cigarette between her fingers and poised at her ruby lips, and her emerald eyes flick to his. He works on autopilot, leaning forward with the lighter, cupping the flame with his silicone fingers and he forgets to breathe when her fingers linger on his. She flicks her eyes back up to him once more and the air whooshes out of his lungs as if he’s been hit by a freight train, or jumped into the farm pond on a sunny March day.
regret
Yep, another one that only showed up in the longfic...
The door to the backroom slides open at her approach. Nix’s office is dark, but he doesn’t usually show until afternoon anyway. Once inside the quiet of her office, she drops into the chair with a heavy sigh. She tabs through pages of email but nothing catches her interest. She leans back in her chair, puffing her cheeks as she blows out a long breath. She drags her eyes down from the ceiling, landing on Scorpion’s action figure.
In a flash she’s standing, figure in hand, breath tight in her chest. She wants to crush it, destroy it and the memories of the last few weeks, but she knows she will regret it—not today, today she would feel relief but one day when her feelings have settled she will think back to that day on the bridge and feel sorrow at having destroyed the memento of lost friendship, no matter what passed since. Instead of throwing it in the incinerator she shoves it in a drawer, hidden behind decades worth of paperwork she’s never read.
light
...and why not wrap things up with one more from the longfic lol
The cool air feels delicious on his face, flushed as it is from the alcohol and her incessant flirting. The attention makes him feel a decade younger, at least. He pulls away from her to light a cigarette and offers the pack. When she accepts he holds out the lighter and holds his breath, hoping for an errant touch of her hand. She obliges, holding the cigarette in her right hand and placing the left on the skin of his wrist as she leans in. Her eyes flicker up to his, and her fingers linger a fraction of a second too long and his skin tingles. Suddenly he remembers the cartoons he used to watch with his mom, how the tricked coyote would speed off the cliff without realizing it, and only after looking down would gravity take hold, leaving the coyote to plummet to the ground far below.
Tagging with zero pressure/sorry if you got tagged already... @impishbiscuit @schoute @oranzuwu @elvenbeard @chessalein @morganlefaye79 @theviridianbunny @corphoe and anyone else sees this and wants to play (and tag me if you do!!) I give you the words:
