So, in order to understand this story, you have to know a few basic facts about Enter The Gungeon:
1) There is a character named The Hunter. She is cool lady and doesn't afraid.
2) Hunter has an adorable pet corgiloaf, Junior II, who digs up items for her. I like to call him "Digdug" or "Diggy." Everybody loves Junior II. People who don't love him are wrong and bad.
3) Hunter also has an unlockable B-skin: a wolf kigu. It's awful cute.
4) The latest update added a new character: "The Paradox." It is a random PC skin covered in weird glitchy blue radiation, with a random loadout taken from all PC starting inventories. It is heavily implied that it was born from your PCs fucking around with spacetime too much. It is also intimately connected somehow with the vile Lich who rules the Gungeon.
5) Enter the Gungeon has an unusually rich gameworld, including many subthemes of weird pseudo-elemental effects. One of these subthemes is Love-based weaponry, such as Cupid's Bow and the Shotgun Fulla Love.
6) I am currently playing as a Paradox with the Hunter-B wolf kigu. Since her loadout is randomized, she lacks the "Tennis Ball" item which grants her Junior II as a companion.
And running around on Level 2 without Diggy, the horrifying notion briefly crossed my mind: what if Paradox Hunter is some kind of mirror-universe Lich-Hunter amalgam who... my god... skinned and wore him? ;____;
The thought was too much to bear, and then the real truth finally struck me:
My Paradox B-Skin Hunter _is_ Diggy. More specifically, they're an amalgam of Hunter and Diggy. Fused into a single being, fueled by pure Love magic. They are the perfect gungeoneer... at least until Ocelot the shopkeeper's cat becomes playable.
