John: Likes video games starrin’ them Good Blue Boys like Sonic, Megaman, and Shovel Knight. His tastes are p mainstream for the most part!
Rose: Loves the Soulsborne games. Enjoys Bioware games but is bitter that you can’t date Morrigan or Tali as a female character. Fond of lore heavy and/or narrative driven games in general. Will absolutely find ways to speedrun/exploit glitches in anything she gets really into.
Dave: If he’s by himself he’ll either play campy shit like Deadly Premonition or the worst possible indie games he can find for free/under five dollars, otherwise he really only plays multiplayer games with his friends. He will fuck someone up at Mario Kart. Would probably definitely have a Monster Factory type show with Rose.
Jade:
Loves everything from Harvest Moon type games to platformers to shooters to rhythm games.
Will play almost anything you put in front of her and will not only excel at it but also figure out a way to add a furry mod to it Jade how the fuck did you make your Ghostbusters MMO character a giant wolf.
Jane: Loves mystery and puzzle games. She already lived through rl Myst, she’s got pretty much anything you throw at her in the bag. Likes the Layton series, The Witness, The Wolf Among Us (Bigsby, what a man!), and the Ace Attorney series (Mia Fey, what a woman!). Thinks the Nancy Drew game series deserves way more attention than it gets.
Dirk: Keep him away from any game with stats. He mapped out every possible pairing in order to make the Optimal Children in Fire Emblem, breeds the Perfect Team in Pokemon, and god help you if you want to play an MMO with him “just for fun” because he’s got everyone’s equipment already mapped out and hey just so you know you should pick these spells when you level up and hey wait no don’t leave please
jake: Tomb Raider. Are you kidding me? Tomb Raider. Sure, he also enjoys the Uncharted series and he’ll play the occasional fighting game with a friend, but listen. Lara. Motherfuckin’. Croft.
roxy: Canonically loves THE NINTENDOS. Absolutely the type of person that will main a character in a video game just because they’re Pink. Would abuse her void powers to create cosplay that she’dpersuade her friends into wearing (’omg jane you would be such a cute mei and i could be dva it’s perfect!!!! im a fuckin genius’)
Hurley: Taako I think you can handle some non-lethal defense right?
Taako: yeah sure
Taako literally within the first five minutes of the race: I cast crown of madness on this guy making him kill his friend with a hammer and crashing their wagon into another wagon killing four people total
so i just learned something fun, evidently Japanese Undertale fans argued for ages over whether Sans would refer to himself as “ore” or “boku” in an official translation.
for those that don’t know, the japanese language has several words for referring to yourself. watashi, watakushi, ore, boku, et cetera. “ore” and “boku” are primarily used by men, with “ore” being considered “manly, but slightly arrogant” and “boku” being “childish, but more polite”
anyway japanese fans argued about what sans would refer to himself as. then the official translation comes out. what word does sans refer to himself as?
“oira”
“oira” is a word that is almost exclusively used by “country bumpkins.” kinda like how a person from the american south is definitely going to say “y’all” at least three times in any given conversation. “oira” is like if there were a personal pronoun version of the word “y’all” in English
and japanese fans were PISSED because it made Sans seem like a hick, and didn’t calm down until they learned that Toby picked the word himself
I call upon the fan fic writing gods to bless you with the perseverance to finish one of your unfinished drafts.
May your fingers dance along the letters upon your device with ease, may the devil of distraction stay far from you, and may your work not need much editing.
I pass this blessing upon every fan fic writer out there.
JANE: Considering we’re all immortal, at some point we should probably stop celebrating every birthday, if only because cakes can only have so many candles on them before they lose structural integrity. HAL: Sure, whatever, but there’s no way in hell I’m not going all out for my 69th. ROXY: niiiiiiiice DAVE: it would be a waste of immortality if i didnt throw a weed themed party when i turned 420 TEREZI: BL4Z3 1T DIRK: Trolls have a concept of marijuana memes? DAVE: no rose and i just trained them to respond that way like dogs ROSE: I’m looking forward to the big 666 myself.
I’m not sure if this is just my own preferences being projected but Dave and Karkat’s personal brand of intimacy feels like it’d be that “no boundaries, no embarrassment, borderline gross out tmi all the time” sort of thing. Barging into the bathroom when the other is using it to excitedly talk about something, constantly asking the other what x smells like/if it smells bad (it does), Karkat keeping tabs on Dave’s moles to make sure they aren’t changing, Dave always trying to get his toes inside of Karkats mouth when he’s least expecting it.
Then you have Rosemary on the flip side with Kanaya waking up in a cold sweat after realizing it’s been 7 years and Rose still hasn’t farted in front of her.
