i think i may've seen someone else do this one but it's too good to leave out of the thread so. here's my version
not sure why @vultureculture has such intense jack-o' valentine energy but, she sure does 
posts made by @vultureculture as jack-o's valentine tbh 🧵
had to get a bit creative with this @BestGirlGrace post! extremely looking forward to chibi asuka dropping next month

we all do magic, so what makes you a witch, i-no? you can't say the hat

i thought about using i-no herself for this @lyncia post, but she doesn't really lean into the "cute" part? and axl does 

this @swiff post just instantly made me think elphelt

of course it did

i don't think answer's appeared in the thread before?

congrats on getting the five hundredth text post, answer!

i considered putting robo-may on this one but. this is better

i had to

the idea that baiken literally calls her "delilah guilty gear" is just delightful imo

hang on, were you even a child in the first place
dizzy confirmed for @Ottergirljazz i guess!
:)
good for them 😌

this post would also work for justice and perhaps ram?

but justice predates the in-universe term "guilty gear" and ram arrived so much later in the series so. dizzy it is

she's probably the best fit tbh tbh

dropping an EX version of that last post because i realised this works just as well
it will work out! (work out!)
just go with what i feel, yeah :)

au where ramlethal works at a pet supply shop i guess

i dunno, i could see her doing that 

sky should be high for girls

excuse me asuka r♯ why is your artwork such an inconvenient shape

we're getting his chibi tomorrow but this couldn't wait

this would work better with post-xrd roboky but i have no art of that version so, 
sol @himbovoorhees badguy 

chibi asuka just dropped, and he's perfect for this @fro_vo post

look at him :)

i've been hanging onto this post for a while because i don't Have ky wearing a maid outfit? there are no mods for that, which i find frankly absurd

honestly though, we deserve more maids with jackets slung over their shoulders to leave room for their giant blue dragon arms anyway

the cat ears are from This mod!

johnny kinda. has a habit of saying really awkward shit to trans girls he's just met? it's weird

this @neku post definitely felt like a solsuka. they both want to win

i like making sol's boyfriends blush 

you get two of this one because they both work so well

i could honestly put almost every gg character on this one? especially justice. this is justice. but her art doesn't look great on a black background so

ohhhh, lullaby! don't stop until i fall in flames~!

@dragon 

apparently @niki just described asuka's arcade storyline?
haehyun for strive please i have so little art of her
that's it that's the game
good post @MollyNoise 

they'd only just met, so she hadn't figured out yet that the answer is yes

btw good post @iitalics 

i wasn't really expecting to find a use for this particular ending artwork tbh
has @haskal checked out the gears yet? i feel like it would vibe with these goobers
@00dani Most of my favorite Strive character þemes seem to feature time as a motif, I just noticed. Millia's, Zato's, Sin's of course.

@OchotonidKnight what about ram's?

running, calling, dying, just burns up time!!!!

@00dani Not one of my favorites in all honesty but it is one more example!
@00dani Question: does Johnny have Grungler energy

@junebug hmm yes i would say he does?

basically imagine the exact same character as johnny bravo, whom i highly suspect johnny guilty gear is a deliberate reference to, given the timing and the same name and the fact that they both wear sunglasses constantly

i love him honestly

@junebug the jellyfish pirates are like. a subversion of anime harem tropes, i guess?

johnny's the only guy and officially the leader, and he only invites women to join

but it's basically a queer-ass found family and he's their himbo dad. and may is really the de facto leader and makes all the decisions

also she handles johnny's allowance

also officially the jellyfish pirates only invite women, but that includes testament and pre-hatching bridget back in 2181, so like. johnny's rules on who counts as women are pretty cool

@00dani yeah I fuckin love them lol. I love that apparently Johnny is one of the more powerful characters around and the reason for this is "he's just super good at shit" like he's completely human just incredibly good at fighting and isn't usually involved

@junebug the completely normal human characters are some of my favourites tbh

kinda the main joke of bridget as a character is that she's literally just a regular kid. no superpowers, no augmented living weapon abilities, not even any special combat training

and she can still go toe-to-toe with guitar witch goddesses and nuclear moms anyway, simply because she's just very autistic about yo-yos
