yooooo @FrazzledBrynn
gio and asuka should be friends i think
no, catboys and doggirls are not enemies,
why did we get to nearly 750 of these things without fanny making a single appearance?
turns out it's cuz her official art is from a wonderswan game of all things and isn't great for this? so many kudos to twitter user TheSuperNintend for this delightful strive-style chibi! she's so cute!!
also many kudos to @niki for posting good as always!!!

this post would be solky except, they wouldn't call each other bro, so i needed someone who would
god i love guilty gear
so i just worked out that shape-outside is a thing web browsers can do, including with arbitrary images providing the shape?
and then i made this post using only my browser dev tools, rather than jumping into an image editor once i had the text captured
i did say i wasn't gonna make every one of these in-browser, because it's way more fiddly than dropping the text into krita and inserting characters there
but it's worth it to have this post literally wrap around jack-o's ass
strive-style chibi courtesy of twitter user TheSuperNintend once again!!
i love aba
daily affirmation
button to hug her please
you ever see a screenshot of a text post and have a pretty good idea of what you wanna do with it
but then you look up the actual post and op now has a bedman? profile pic by pure coincidence and that's way better
@OchotonidKnight we haven't exactly gotten a lot of "right now" for her, since there hasn't been a full-blown story released since season two started and she's like. a super unimportant character?
and her past adventures in the sprite-era games aren't all canon, because daisuke didn't personally work on those stories and brought things forward only in broad strokes when he got to do more in-depth stories for overture and xrd
but in ggxx she had endings where she met with ky, dizzy, potemkin, and may!
also johnny but that one. didn't go super well
we basically know the first two endings really did happen because bri's strive story relies heavily on them, especially her ending with ky: even though all the bounties she captured were fake, ky still gives her a big ol' bag of money from his church to reward her efforts, and that money helps her wipe away the village superstition. in strive she's successfully wiped away the superstition, obviously knows ky very well, opens up to him about her personal queer struggles, and when her troubles are sorted out he cheerfully invites her to come visit dizzy again sometime soon. so she's definitely friends with dizzky
one of bri's few unique interactions in strive is with may - she can go "well? how do you like the new bridget?" - which implies they've also met before. they weren't really friends in ggxx though? they got off on the wrong foot because bri was mistakenly bounty-hunting dizzy and may will pummel anyone who mistreats dizzy. it's not hard to see how may and bri might become friends from there though, since bridget immediately stops pursuing dizzy upon realising she's Not Evil
may and bridget are very much written as friends in the accent core plus story mode: bri's story starts with a visit to the mayship to hang with her new pals, and she almost immediately opens up to may about money troubles and how she might need a new career. but the accent core plus story is very incompatible with the overture story, in a whole bunch of ways, and therefore is very noncanon
it's still a very popular read that bridget and may are besties regardless though. as they ought to be!
sadly there's currently no indication that bridget's meeting with potemkin is canon, which is a shame because that ending is cute as hell: pot is really impressed with bri's yo-yo combat skills and offers her a job teaching zepp's army how to use yo-yos like she does. adorable
accent core plus also gave us bri working at jam's restaurant as a cute waitress. which isn't canon either, since it's accent core plus, but they do seem to get along okay so
back in strive, we can safely assume bri is now friends with goldlewis. the two had only just met in her arcade mode, but you don't open up like that to each other without forming any connection whatsoever
we can also infer that she's now friends with sol as well, because she. literally says so? the two of them have a unique interaction in strive that goes like this:
🪀 you're a bounty hunter, too! let's be friends!
🔥 sure, but my friends play rough.
and that's about it! bridget really hasn't done all that much that's unambiguously canon. sprite-era guilty gear was weird like that
if we're open to considering super non-canon stuff like this supporting artwork, then she's pals with all the girls who were in the game as of accent core plus and it's very cute and sweet good for her
