Yet another fanart. Johnny, V and most importantly - Nibbles <3
Entry 11: Johnny and I are flipping off Avante behind the camera (the shop owner BANNED me since I alledgedly "tracked in mud and blood" and "made the customers feel unsafe"?? But I KNOW it's coz I wasn't wearing 'fancy' clothes. Not everyone is made of eddies choom! (Oh look...my journal just updated... Hmmm an anonymous hit for a very specific Avante worker eh...?)
Otherwise...this little spot is a beautiful place to hang out for a breather, snack, and to pretend a few birds are nesting in those neon trees 😎
(*with rizz*) My husband, our boyfriend and I saw you and wanted to know if you were single
(Shout out to my wife Panam for taking this shot, she said she wants to know too)
Entry 8: Don't think the old tapeworm over here liked me discussing my relationship with Kerry (Jealous perhaps? Or do you think the gonk's too damn stubborn to join us?)
Their love is transcendent, your honour
rogue: johnny's idea of a romantic date is blowing up arasaka's hq
so, Don't Fear The Reaper? the ending that is only available if you have a specific type of relationship with Johnny? the one that you achieve only after V and Johnny bare their souls to each other willingly? say no more cdpr👍
Entry 3: Lotta Maelstromer's boutta turn into Scav's after the hell we gave 'em tonight... And don't even get us started (again) on that gonk-ass mfer Smasher. As a plus, Rogue and I got to put a smile back on that digi-ghosts face to redeem his trusty old Porsche and Malorian :}
(Bonus photo capturing the moment all life left Johnny's eyes (for a second time) recognising I'd be the one behind the wheel of his baby)
johnny sees the ghost of every ex he's had in v
(and all the ways he couldn't save them, too)
V has no time to think of what a future could even look like. Here, in the churning belly of the city, the pace is heartbeat-fast until the last squeeze of the hand of Capital finds its way into your trachea and plays a dirge on your vocal cords. She's a street kid, orphaned at sixteen: who fucking isn't. Her friends have been dying as long as she remembers living and her parents' brains have been dissolved into syntax many hours before she's found their bodies bloating over in their running chairs. This was ten years ago. This feels like yesterday. Dirt poor, in over her head, the struggle to survive turns to desperate measures as she stumbles into a dying Jackie Welles who promises her a fortune in eddies, if only she slots a stolen biochip in her brain. Johnny Silverhand's name is a curse in her family, spoken between liturgies addressed to a dead Blackwall god. And the terrible noise of time approaches, the most violent sound in the world.

Valerie Cunningham, grand-niece from Alt's Father's side finds her paths crossed with a rockerboy's engram as a city that threatens to swallow them all is standing on the precipice of hell.

Ive been trying to upload this for 12 hours, raaaah, I missed Takemura Tuesday because of it. I made it for yall.
Okay but hear me out- "Hotel California" is a really good SilverV song. It's also a good takemura x V song. It's also a good EuroV song.
In all 3 ships, it can be interpreted so differently, and I love that.
not now johnny, mommy is feeling bonita
one of the most underrated but brilliant parts of cyberpunk that i have been admiring as i get close to the end of my second playthrough is how v's dissolution into johnny is so innocently integrated into the gameplay as a series of fun silly or mechanically powerful loot drops. on a gameplay level its a fun incentive to do side quests! look! you can get johnny's super powerful and sleek gun! how fun! you can get his unique custom paint job car! how cool! you can get a samurai replica jacket like the one v wore in the game's promotions! how silly! you can find his pants and shoes and glasses and look just like him! how sweet! he gives you his dog tags! you might not think twice about it as the player. it's just a bunch of cosmetic quest rewards, after all. but... in world? on a story level? what does it look like to vic? to misty? when v shows up for some cyberware upgrades driving johnny's car, in johnny's pants, in johnny's jacket, in johnny's glasses, in johnny's shoes, with johnny's gun at their hip and johnny's name around their neck? is that still v in there? do they even know what it looks like? do they even care? is that still v in there? is that still v in there? it seems like just a fun little easter egg but what does it look like to the people who are watching their friend dissolve into someone else in front of their eyes?
“Get your ugly boots off my Harley, Johnny! I ain’t sayin’ it twice.” “Relax, kiddo. I’m just a voice in your gonk head.”
silverv makes for such a tragic love story im surprised it didn't blow up with the gays. like can you imagine, can you imagine coming back from the dead after 50 years to find yourself stuck in the body of somebody who is dying because of you. you're trying to help them figure out how to get rid of you before it's too late and along that path you get to know each other so intimately from sharing memories and a body. and it's not really your fault but you are an intruder here, you are a parasite actively killing them but they're nice to you and care about you anyway. and you care about them. but you know that inevitably you will either take over their body or be removed. you can't both be alive at the same time for long. can you imagine realizing that you're falling in love with them
but can you imagine having your brain, your memories implanted into another's and merging into one tangled timeline. i'm getting nostalgia from a song i've never heard before because it was your favorite, long before we "met." i'm trying to tell you a story from my college years but you keep correcting me because you know how i really saw it happen and that i'm lying to make myself look better. it feels like we've grown up together because how couldn't it. it's as if i was there

currently replaying the end of the game and i'm absolutely Sick over the fact that johnny and v are both just so desperate for the other to put up any fight to save themselves
