so!! i finished watching runs of phantom liberty... and vin's getting a new canon. this dlc and its new ending are canon for him.
Tumblr media
i just think the storyline does a great job at showing what vin really wants, and what it takes for him to realize that.
dlc storyline spoilers under the cut, even if they're pretty out of context/explained horribly.
also if ya see this twice very sorry posted this on my rp blog too but i post abt vinny a lot here so y'all get the character development too ♡ i'm so fucking normal (lie)
when this happens is after? you talk to the vdb. so vin's already been up shit's creek by this point. there's the shit with ev. the shit with takemura. the shit with the cados. he's been tugged around.
and then? then his relic gets hacked! and he's told to get his ass to the most dangerous part of nc? alone? yeah. yeah. he's not happy. johnny isn't either, but at this point vin's at a low and honestly could see him following songbird hoping to die.
and then he gets everything thrown on him.
- hey i need your help saving the president.
- hey im the president i need your help getting out of here, the attack came from the inside and i dont trust anybody.
- hey youre now a federal intelligence agent and tour making contact with a sleeper agent bc my runner that contacted you went missing thx.
he's already there, fuck it. maybe some gonk-brain will kill him. but. but!
there is a part of him still kinda hopeful. maybe one more step and he gets the help he needs. one more contact. one more task. and it just. keeps. going.
he's pulled into the monotonous bullshit he tried so hard to escape from. being pulled around on all these fronts again, especially as it comes out songbird is the traitor; this has been in the works for what? months now? because she knows about militech's own version of soulkiller and she, being led on by meyers, was used as a bow and made a portal for the blackwall to conduct govt espionage.
but it just. keeps. getting. worse!
songbird leaves him for dead. reed is stonewalling him. alex is fucking dead. johnny's quieter than usual. he's all alone in fucking dogtown and the only person he feels REMOTE TRUST for is feeding him nothing. and it sucks! but he's still trying to believe that he'll get that out.
and there's so many good convos with the characters in this dlc about morality, mortality, and consequence.
and it ultimately ends with vin trusting reed and them breaking songbird outta maxtac custody, bc surprise the blackwall connection makes you go cyberpsycho. and she makes it to the derelict militech lab that u go into alone alone, bc johnny gets sliced and ur comms are fucked. and there's this whole sequence of almost dying, being hunted alien isolation style by a blackwall ai controlled spider mech, and then you find songbird and she BEGS YOU to kill her. BEGS. and vin just... cant.
it's ironic coming from him considering so many of his dumb decisions are an expression of his suicidality, but he helps. he continues to help!
and even after, he's treated like shit. reed keeps stonewalling him. president myers is a cunt who cordially reminds him of the oath he took and the nice, tight leash she has around his neck.
and then? when he's finally "rescued"? ||he doesnt even say goodbye to anyone. and that hurts the most. arasaka ending sucked, sure, but this? no rooftop talk with misty. no goodbye to vik. just a text explaining he'll be outta town for a bit. and then it ends up being TWO YEARS. HE'S IN A COMA FOR TWO YEARS. ALONE. IN LANGLEY.
and when he wakes up, reed continues. to. stonewall. him. keeps it vague. apologizes, sure, but even now he cannot bring himself to actually care. which is understandable when you look at his character but. vin is livid.
there was no closure. no guarantee he'd even wake up. he could have up and died and nobody would ever fucking know!
and then he gets back to nc and... oh.
oh things changed. things really changed:
- vik became a corpo doc, working for some zetatech corp. he says he didn't have a choice.
- misty is just gone. you run into her after getting jumped by street mercs, and she's on her way to poland.
- arasaka? fucking gone. takemura and hanako went into everything alone and *hanako just up and fucking died.* no explanation. dunno if yori killed her or what. but takemura is in hiding now bc they believe he killed hanako *and* saburo. then yori stepped down as ceo all together.
- didnt see the others' calls so idk what happens with panam, judy, and river, but it can't be much better for them.
and i just...
the whole idea of vin being forced into the background being both a relief and a terror to him is so... it's so good. the idea that he lost everything again, but he now has control over that.
it fucks him up, that's for sure. the dialog you have with reed? with vik? with misty? some real shit. he's on the verge of that suicidality again, but he lived. he can live. he has control over that now.
and it's for the first time in a long time, considering the fact he worked with arasaka counter-intel. he awaited death for so long, knowing it could come at any second, that there's a... bitterness. in losing that feeling. a confusion in the fact he can just. exist without consequence.
this is really the meat of it tho. the last bit. the fact that vin is both the exact same man he was and someone entirely new.
the fact that he changed and didn't. that he's messy and there is no truly happy ending for him, that he's just... human.
that in the end, he still fucked over johnny (except at least in the arasaka ending, he was kinda understanding to a point. here? he's just angry. dejected. vin's last words to him were that he couldn't forgive him for the shit he's done to his body) and still LOST the game of life.
he still lost. but he lost in the best way possible.
the legend of v is out there, but he doesn't have to be that. live up to it. he can just be... him. and i think that's all he really wants, in the end. to learn who he is and to be him. a chance to just exist without consequence. to not have to make choices on who gets harmed and why. to make choices of dire urgency. to just... breathe.
it just took so much for him to realize that, and it's going to weigh on him for god knows how long (if not his whole life, whatever remains of it).

*holds a microphone up to you* I am curious about your DBZ ocs, tell me a little bit about them pretty please?
Hi yes hello I literally never got a notification for this!
I have 4 of them! Technically 5 but we don't talk about Dear Goo Boy they came about as a result of my pals @emizel @invizdable and i getting into xenoverse 2.
There's Cayenne, a normal ass human teen that dreams of kicking Gonku's (read: Goku's) ass because she's sick and tired of the Z fighters (namely the saiyans tbh) blowing shit up because it personally inconveniences her. She doesn't have a hope in hell, but she's too stupid to quit. But what she lacks in brains and actual fighting technique she makes up for in spirit and YELLING REALLY FUCKING LOUD ALL THE TIME. She currently lives with Yamcha and his OC family who are all owned by @emizel. She also has a hella android Time Patroller girlfriend (who is also owned by @emizel). She's mostly on the sidelines these days because she's already kind of living her best life rn, but she's got character development on the horizon tho, someday...
Bragi, my fucking beloved, self-proclaimed Best Boy Ever, is a prodigy Supreme Kai attendant in training from Universe 5 that got grounded to U7 for being way too full of himself and having generally anti-mortal sentiments. (Read: Zamasu behavior). Now he's working in Time Patrol as a janitor "Maintenace Specialist." Thanks to the power of friendship and forcing him to deal with his trauma and a literal Good Noodle Star system, he's a lot nicer now (though still really fully of himself). These days he's busy being adopted by a little majin Karen(TM) with a :3 face and her human kinda sorta younger sister (who are owned by @invizdable) and kind of doesn't want to go home anymore. Uh-oh
Aneas is the West Kai of U5, who basically got the job after being dared to put his name in the lottery for it. He has no idea what he's doing and he's in way over his head (not hard to do because he is Very Short), but it's okay because he has a bunch of (non-sentient) plants to talk to and also a lovely wife (who is a former war criminal and apprentice of Towa who also belongs to @emizel) and their son (who is also literally just a plant). They're both just dumb teen(equivalent)s at the end of the day but they love each other very much. You have to be niceys to him. All the horrible plot things keep happening at his house for some reason--
Tomor is also a shinjin/core person/fruitboy from U5 but he's just a tea farmer. He was friends with Bragi and Aneas as kids but they drifted apart after Bragi went hurtling down the gifted kid burnout pipeline and Aneas got the job Tomor dared him to "apply" for. He'd like to get the gang back together but they've kind of outgrown his rude, immature class clown tendencies. Also he's kind of a Republican which does not fucking help-- He sucks (affectionate) (derogatory).
I have a hot sexy sideblog called @sadfruitthreatre and you can read more about these guys (and all the guys surrounding them) in my intros tag! (or any of my other tags if u feel like, there's a masterpost pinned)

so!! i finished watching runs of phantom liberty... and vin's getting a new canon. this dlc and its new ending are canon for him.
note: i also have to update some canon bios but... shh ♡ also ty ty i'm safe the tornado didn't hit near me. there will be typos here tho because i'm too tired and i'm on mobile.
i just think the storyline does a great job at showing what vin really wants, and what it takes for him to realize that.
dlc storyline spoilers under the cut, even if they're pretty out of context/explained horribly.

and naturally, vin's a little upset (he's a lot upset), but fuck if he doesn't need that tech. and it's a hell of a lot better than the prognosis anyone else has given him so far!
but it just. keeps. getting. worse!
songbird leaves him for dead. reed is stonewalling him. alex is fucking dead. johnny's quieter than usual. he's all alone in fucking dogtown and the only person he feels REMOTE TRUST for is feeding him nothing||. and it sucks! but he's still trying to believe that he'll get that out.

ASSHSSHS YOU LIKE JAEWON! YAYY ٩(^ᗜ^ )و your special (ily bestie westie) i'm just gonna give you a bunch of random jaewon lore fact thingies because your his no.1 fan (real!!)
um number one!!! jaewon was like a super controversial figure during produce x 101 because this man literally says ANYTHING and he cursed like every two seconds (me) and he was SUCH a controversial figure that most korean netizens hated him and started a petition to get him kicked off the show 😭 his controversy was mostly the reason he didn't win 2nd place and was instead booted down to sixth
number two!!! jaewon dated one of his former x1 members and when they broke up the two of them.. well— they kind of got into an ugly argument 🤗! idk if you know anything about x1 but i wont give any hints because i wanna keep that a mystery!! oh and hanbin is pretty jealous because now the two of them are mending their relationship haha drama!!
number three!!! jaewon's parents like- suck ass, i'm not even joking, like they're so horrible that he ran away not once, not twice, but FIVE TIMES just to get away from them cause they really are that bad 😭 (these people should've not had kids), he successfully ran away for good in 2017 when he joined cube entertainment and he hasn't talked to them at all ever since then, they still leave a longlasting mental affect on him because of their emotional abuse though (sorry but trauma!)
number four!!! jaewon and hanbin are a thing…? or are they…? trust me atp they have absolutely no idea what they are 😭 literally EVERYONE knows they like each other but they kinda just let shit happen..? do they like each other? 100%. but they just kinda sit by and just.. go with the flow. will they ever confess? eh.
and lastly, number five!!! a much cuter one that isnt as confusing, jaewon was nicknamed "sleeping koala" because he often clings onto people when he sleeps, like whenever he falls asleep he'll reach out at the first person literally unconsciously and just cling onto them while he sleeps. (he was a stuffed animal kid can you tell?)
um…… yeah! i'll probably make a longer thing abt jaewon facts because theres actually SO MUCH MORE i have to explain when it comes to jaewon because hes a mess (and is currently having a sexuality crisis) so there'll def be a longer post about jaewon 😭
ik you didnt ask for this but anyway ily bestie westie have a great day <333 (i have school tmrw save me)
I AM HIS #1 UR SO RIGHT.. and omg thank u for these HELLO??! eating them all up in three bites and patting my tummy and shit

two - omg drama hii i love that.. ur right ik jack shit ab x1 BYR . let me look them up and make a guess at who it is though........... hyeongjun ? ! ? Am i right
three - EWW BEATS THEM UP AND SETS THEM ON FIRE AND KILLS THEM??! at least he got away though good for him omg . Pats him on the head ☹️
