Do You Have a Killer you Try to Impress?

For me at least there's some Killers that I actually loathe. I feel a lot of their mechanics are 'meh' and in the past I used to sweat really hard to 'show them' but even trying my best against them isn't fun. Spite can only carry you so far, and at a certain point I just get filled with apathy. It's not that I throw necessarily, but I just don't really put a lot of spirit into it. Where with some killers it's like "Oh dammit good play!" or "Crap I screwed up!" (Because I'm in the moment) there are some killers where it's like "Yup you hit me." or "Camping with power? Yeah." Neither said with scorn or malice, but rather "This was a risk when I queued. I'd like my 10 minutes to be over so I can go to my next game."

Alternatively there are some Killers where I'm just absolutely in love with. Killers that I just hear their terror radius and it's like a flutter in my heart and a spring in my step. I hop off that generator to greet my aggressor and I get all sorts of excited. Like "Oh my god! It's you! I've waited so long for this reunion. Please please. Chase me! I'm such a good dance partner, I've practiced these steps so much that I've had dreams about this moment. And it's finally here!"

It's almost like going on a first date, because obviously they don't know you. But you know them. You know exactly what they want, what they're capable of, and hopefully like any good relationship you're going to help each other grow into better people by the end of those 10 minutes. Sure you test the waters a bit, standard fare. "Do they respect pallets? Do they mind game? How do they like their steaks served?" You try to sus out their power, are they aggressive with it, do their perks synergize, how long does it take for them to give up a chase?

Then they learn from you too. They see how you hug the loops so tightly (Maybe wanting the same tight hug around their firm body?) They see how you fake out pallets or loops, and more importantly start learning how to use their power around you. It's a beautiful frenzy that hits a perfect harmony when they flourish with their own brand of punishment. You get hit, you scream in pain and get a burst of speed. Oh man it's like heaven. You're out of breath from exhaustion, bleeding, and leaving a trail like rose petals straight to you and you just can't take it anymore. You're so close but you've still got a little bit left to give. It's easier for them to hunt you now, not only from reading you from the first encouraging painful drop of their weapon but because of how loud you're wailing in anticipation.

You dodge a few hits, stun them once or twice more. God that vault was close, they were robbed! You're running out of options and it feels so great. There's a rush of wind, chills run down your spine as the overwhelming presence becomes so close you can almost hear them lick their lips at the potential of their first hook of the game. And what a well earned hook state it's going to be! Nobody will ever be chased as good as you are. After all. You love them. You'll treat them with more care than anyone else ever could.

And then they leave. The second generator ding told the Killer that you were a waste of their time. They've lost all interest in you. Now for the rest of the game they want nothing to do with you, even so much as letting you work on a generator right on their path. You start to desperately make an easy target for yourself and they just...

...keep walking.

Like a stranger on a sidewalk, two ships in the night that will never see each other.

He just lets you go.

GG's.

I guess.

You'll always have a place in my heart Pyramid. I wish you'd have given me another chance.

Do you also have a Killer you long for?
