Tbh, I feel like the "gross/freaky looking" comments are mainly bc of the bigger focus on unity and cohesion in japanese society over being individual, including the appearance.
That's why one of the flashback comments is "Dye your hair black!" - to have Sakura fit into the appearance of society and everyone else
Wind Breaker has a good OP and seems like it might be maybe interesting. but i am sick and tired of main characters being like "the world hates me for my freakish looks" and they just look cool. nobody would genuinely look at this guy and think "disgusting" theyd think "woah that's fucking sick"
"ooh everyone thinks im gross-looking" shut the fuck up you're a skinny flawless prettyboy with protagonist character design

Gonna add this for Zag :
Looks like he can kill you, but won't. Unless you're actively threatening him or something he holds dear (or you stand in his way ala the enemies in the game), but he definitely can and will show mercy
For the VA nerds out here, Zagreus is voiced by none other than Darren Korb, you know, the Voice of Skelly, the vocalist for Orpheus and the LITERAL SOUND DIRECTOR AND COMPOSER OF FUCKING SUPERGIANT GAMES! If that ain't already a fucking list to add here, IDK what qualifies
Sword gays showdown, round 2, bracket two
Propaganda:
For Zagreus:
- He uses different weapons, but his first one is Stygius, blade of the underworld
- His weapons can take different forms based on past & future wielders, one of these forms is Excalibur
- Uses said sword to escape the underworld
- Defeats the furies, Theseus, the bull of Minos, and Hades himself with it
- Relentless determination, every time he dies he just starts again without hesitation
- CANONICALLY bisexual and polyamorous, he can be with Megaera the Fury and Thanatos and if you choose both there is open communication about polyamory
- Also canonically qpps with Dusa, who is canonically acearo and disabled
- childhood friends to exes to enemies to lovers with Meg, they regularly fight to the death but since their deaths aren't permanent it's no biggie
- Zagreus will drop everything during an escape attempt to go fishing which isn't relevant to the poll but it's important for you to know
Unhinged and iconic
For Andy:
she is master of weapons, and also just a queen in general. also also, she’s highkey the pinnacle of gay pining (girlfriend trapped in a cycle of death/rebirth at the bottom of the ocean, and andy spent centuries looking for her to rescue her)
Has been a sword (or more commonly a labrys, or improvised weapon) gay for thousands of years
She's an unknowably old immortal and unspeakably skilled in any/all forms of combat. She typically uses her signature axe but per the other characters, "she's forgotten more ways to kill than entire armies will ever learn." Until recently, an unkillable gay (at least not permanently). She's bitter, she's badass, she's even bisexual. Peace and love on planet Earth.
Andromache is super tough, strong, and can beat anyone in a fight. She can also beat the bury the gays allegations as she can die but does not stay dead. She has been alive since est. 4700 BCE and has been protecting humanity with her blade skills for over 6000 years. She has been the leaders of various communities and worshiped as a goddess in several cultures. Andy is the founding member of the Old Guard, where she fights side-by-side with her life long love Quyuh (or Noriko as she is known in the comics, who is also a badass warrior and archer). Andy knows countless languages and is an expert in all weapons but her main weapon of choice is her labrys (a very lesbian blade weapon, so I hope it can be excused that it is not a sword). She has forgotten more ways to kill a man than any person/army will ever know in their lives. And yet even with this ferocious and tough skill-set, she is still so kindhearted, caring, passionate, selfless and protective of her found family and will do anything for them and for her love (even during the present complicated situation which i will not outline bc spoilers for The Old Guard). Please vote for Andy, she is a lesbian and wlw icon <3

Honestly, hell yeah! HFR could've gotten EASILY more awards, but I'll take what I can get! 💛

Sibling energy Headcanon:
Chai and Peppermint have that sibling energy where they can't go through one day without bickering and pestering each other BUT the moment any other person talks shit about either of them in front of the other, there aren't enough hands to throw.
Peppermint: Ugh Chai, you're a complete dumbass.
Outsider: For real. Brain cells all dead in that one.
Peppermint, pulling out her blaster: The fuck you just said?!
Chai: Uuuugh, Peppermint, stop nagging.
Outsider: Right? It's like listening to nails scratching a chalkboard.
Chai, summoning his scrap metal guitar: So, you have chosen death...

I am a fan of both and I didn't really noticed that both fandoms went up against each other.
The only thing I know about that is the fact that the producer of NSR was surprisingly positive about HFR, hell even the official NSR account was like "Hey, if you like what we did, check out that game, even if it's different"
But can imagine why people would pit the games against each other, same happens sadly with HypMic and ParaLive...
Seeing Hi Fi Rush trending on twitter and getting nominated for the gaming awards really reminds me of that brief time No Straight Roads fans and Hi Fi Rush fans were at war over their respective games.
And it was annoying...

I'll be honest, not peeved about losing Ultimate Game of the Year to BG3, one of the othe games I'll say that deserve it even without playing it (third one's Street Fighter 6, mainly bc it's my first actual try into fighting games and it's fun), but it low-key felt a bit picking favourites with Starfield and the other ones.
But hoping HFR will nab some trophies in upcoming awards! 💛
There's something double take worthy when Hi-Fi Rush is trending on twitter.
No, it's not about 8.0.8. Nendroid, it's about people saying Hi-Fi was robbed from Golden Joystick Best X-box and Audio awards and people slotting it into their fricking GOTY list.

Freaking finally I can have Chai be more Show by Rock inspired then before! I can finally have him being basically a cyber cat Myuumon 😸 (even if the color ain't right, bc I imagine him being an orange cyber cat, Peppermint is a blue cyber cat)
And yes, shipping this absolute buffoon/affectionately with Crow, the vibes are immaculate with this crossover ship
TO ANYONE WHO MISSED THE TEAMPLAY COSTUME PACK: IT'S NO LONGER LOCKED BEHIND AN AMAZON LOGIN!!!
