I absolutely love doppio but I find it crazy when people try to act like hes some angel possessed by diavolo like DIAVOLO HIMSELF didnt have to stop doppio from offing someone like twice
hes also been very harsh to people several times without diavolo input
mina is not a “girl failure” like a shocking amount of the fanbase likes to make her and it pisses me off because if uve played even one game on her it’s easy to tell lmfao. she’s a successful young woman in the fashion industry and she’s a conniving person. literal opposite
@snowwithoutano Which is interesting because she does in fact put effort into the things she wants, like you said. She IS incredibly talented and a lot of her dialogue portrays this. She only “fails” at climbing the social ladder of vampire society
@mintybenty I think the confusion comes with despite the fact that mina is incredibly talented, she still feels entitled to power, and people misconstrue that entitlement as failure
@IcarusSkyhawk i don’t think she’s necessarily evil. I do think that she is pretty much morally bankrupt though. She is nice to victor but you can also view that through the lens that he’s physically attractive to her so her being nice to him is an in for her to get something she wants.
I had a friend tell me she’s “evil” and I couldn’t believe they would say she is.. sure she can be bitchy or snarky or upper class mannerisms soak through but she’s not EVIL. When I heard her voice lines about victor I was surprised. Most people just argue “she didn’t care about the marriage for love or if he was okay just about the name and money” that’s not evil, it’s bad ofc but I can’t take it the height of being “evil”
@mintybenty Probably not a failure but I wouldn't call her a success either. She's spoiled with everything she has given to her, she threw a hissy fit when Pocket "died", got herself into way deeper waters than she expected and is trying to cheat to get ahead via the patrons.
@__catspajamas@ScarletNoct sure yes but in context of how the internet characterizes girlfailures it does not summarize the complexity of her situation well at all
@mintybenty@ScarletNoct and despite running her own fashion business, her goal is to be a vampire countess, despite vampire society being so much bigger than her and they rejecting her
@__catspajamas@ScarletNoct regardless of any of this everyone who calls her a girlfailure makes her act like a buffoon in a way that is completely OOC and disingenuous to her character. i don’t like it. nor do i agree with it. never will
@mintybenty@ScarletNoct she has no friends, is an absolute baffoon at being a vampire, is a spoiled brat whos deeply pathetic and insecure. How Is That Not A Loser
@mintybenty Similarly, it really annoys me when people call Silver mommy dommy. She is two months behind on rent an sleeps on a bare mattress. She is the least dommy a woman has ever been. If you're going to sexualize her at least do it right...
@morkanus For sure. I definitely agree with that. I’m just making my point that I don’t think her being a nepo baby equates to her talent - wise being a failure.
@mintybenty maybe she’s talented, i was just saying that her being an entitled nepo baby is a pivotal part of her lore and personality. someone at valve has spent a lot of time in silicon valley or orange county i think bc it’s spot on
@morkanus Yes but you can’t exactly buy your way into having a talent in clothing. Sure she could get the money for her business startup, but after that, she has to have some of her own talent and work.
