My Love for Soma Cruz in DBD part 2

[twinkgirl]

Hi hi, feeling anxious again so Im going to talk about , again, My Love for Soma Cruz in DBD!

To start, ive been really in love with the new event, I love playing it and being silly with both survivors and killers - for me, its almost like a stimulant . I m not very good at connecting with people in person, so being able to feel these fun emotions through this game means so, so much to me. I am very happy this game gives me a space I can connect with others in a way thats comfortable to me - its easy to ignore the toxic side of players honestly and just enjoy the games.. Its also easier for me to interact or feel senses of camaraderie with strangers because there’s no pressure to be anything but myself.

I can go on and on about how much Soma means to me. Like, it’s kind of insane how much space he takes up in my head sometimes. I talk about him so much—like, if anyone brings up Castlevania, my brain just short circuits because YES, finally, I get to gush about Soma! He's seriously the first thing I think of when I wake up some days, and I just get so excited even thinking about him being in games like DBD or anything at all, really.

Anyway.. wanted to talk about how i see Soma as somewhat of a reflection.. he means so much to me... ooough... Soma is able to face things head on. I wish I could be that brave. He never asked to be Dracula’s reincarnation, but he can’t escape it. It’s exactly like how I feel about... well, everything, really. Like I’m stuck with all these feelings and anxieties I never asked for, and I don’t know how to get away from them. Thats why i think having characters you love really help with these feelings since you can feel comfortable knowing what youre going through is normal, and you arent just some ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

When I see Soma, I see someone who’s fighting the same fight I am. It’s like he’s this mirror of all the things I can’t put into words, and every time I think about him, it’s like... it makes me feel a little less alone, you know? I guess that’s why Mina is so important to me too. Soma has this whole destiny thing hanging over him, but Mina keeps him grounded. She reminds him of who he is, and it’s just so... ughghfgfh they are SO SWEET TO MEE i really want a Mina skin in dbd.. he mentions her in her voicelines!!! everytime he says Minas name i gen start screaming I want Mina asa skins o so so bad.... I really hope they do another collection in the future like how they added Sheva and William for RE...

Anyway, back to DBD and social interaction,, Like, even if I’m doing bad or if I mess up, there’s this community of players that I can interact with in this weird, non-verbal way. You can be goofy or serious, but it’s this little moment of connection that I can’t find anywhere else. I’m so awkward in person, and I always feel like I’m doing or saying the wrong thing, but in DBD? I don’t have to think about any of that. I can just be. It’s like the game pulls me out of my own head and grounds me in a way that nothing else can which i am soooo thankful for...! This game and Soma is such a safe place for me.

I think the reason I love Soma so much is because, like, he’s not just some dark, brooding hero.

Seeing him pop up in Dead by Daylight? I swear, I lose my mind every single time. It’s like a little part of me gets validated, because it’s like the universe is saying, “Here’s Soma, just for you.” And like, I need that. I need that comfort!!!! I’ll sit there thinking, “If Soma can deal with all that, maybe I can deal with my stuff too.” I’ll be playing DBD, and the second Soma shows up, all the anxiety or stress I was feeling before just melts away. I can’t stop smiling, and I start playing with this whole new energy, like nothing else matters except that he’s there. I love being friendly to Somas. I dont think ive ever hit or killed one since his skin dropped - i refuse to! i cant see him getting hurt because of me :(

Sometimes when I feel like I’m drowning in all these complicated feelings, thinking about Soma is the only thing that pulls me out of it. I’ll replay his games, look at fan art, or even just talk to anyone who will listen about how amazing he is. There’s this peace that comes with thinking about him—it’s almost like he’s a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there’s always something to hold onto.

He just makes everything feel less heavy, you know? So does DBD and the people who play it. I feel seen when i have very little people to talk to.

Thank you dead by daylight!!

After reading your essay about how you feel about Soma and how he helps with your own problems I cannot say I feel the same about him. But I also like him alot. Back when I was in elementary school my best bud got Aria of Sorrow for GBA from a second hand store and we both had no clue whatsoever about the franchise. The safe file remaining was named Roy so we assumed it must be Fire Emblem related in some way (because real people could never be named Roy, amirite?)

And boy were we happy it wasn't a Fire Emblem.

Some is such a chill guy, head on and coolminded the same time. My younger brother brought me into this game a month ago and I was surprised of all MC Soma got a skin with voiceovers and such. A bummer I don't have the Castlevania Chapter but I think im grabbing it.

As a killer I have yet to face a Soma but knowing me I probably will give him hatch.

Its so oddly weird just to see someone with such positivity for something in DBD, Good for you I hope he stays special to you.

That's nice. I've been a big Castlevania fan since I was a child and while I love the series in general the Sorrow games and Soma in general have always resonated with me. I'm not entirely sure why, to be honest. I've been having a blast with the Castlevania chapter and Soma's inclusion is the icing on the cake.

I'm also glad they finally fixed his face!

He was the deciding factor for me to purchase the latest rift. I wish he spoke in-game (there are subtitles for no reason - I assume they are Trevor's).

I really didn´t know Castlevania until it arrived on DbD. Not my kind of games and not oldie too xd. But when i saw Soma skin in the rift, i bought the survivor to play with this skin because i think he is more cool and handsome than Leon Kennedy (sorry, for me rest of boys characters on the game are ... ) I only play with my girls characters but with Soma I´m giving him a try :)

Speaking of maps, did we get a castlevania map? Not sure if I just never hitted it or we indeed are missing one. Imagine running around in the entrance or stairway to the throneroom.

Unfortunately no. Massive missed opportunity. The Castle appears in the background of non-licensed maps, and it does look great, but unfortunately that's it! I suppose they might have thought it would feel a little repetitive after the DND map.
