#Quatre day

[miyurinq]

All alone

Happy Quatre day! I wrote a little short story, please enjoy

Quatre stretched out extensively in his bed, enjoying the sun he could feel on his face. It was the first day he'd had all to himself in months. No work, no other commitments and no Trowa either. Trowa was with Cathy today and wouldn't be back until tomorrow because they hadn't seen each other for ages. Quatre couldn't believe he really had a day off. A whole day just for himself. The thought made him happy, even if it would be a lie to say he didn't miss Trowa. It was strange not waking up next to him. But he would still have a wonderful day. He had already fulfilled his first point of sleeping in. And he would drink his coffee in his super comfortable bed, maybe even have breakfast here. And then he would play the violin. He couldn't wait to finally be able to play as long as he wanted, to have the time to do so. Not to rush. At some point he would eat something delicious, maybe even take a long, hot bath. He could do so many things. Quatre smiled and grabbed his phone to check the time. He saw that he had a message from Trowa and smiled even more. Trowa wished him a good morning, reminded him affectionately that he really shouldn't work today and mentioned something delicious that was waiting for him in the fridge. His heart beat a little faster, Trowa was simply the best and he fell in love with him a little more every day. Tomorrow he would shower Trowa with kisses. But today, today belonged to him alone. And it would be a beautiful day.

"- Good job 'Fei, 'Ro's in another space. I totally lost my boyfriend. - What about you? Not reading the book I gave you? - Me? Naaah, I'm a streetrat remember? Gotta maintain the reputation."

I made this for the @gundamzine. I just want them to be fine now.

This was a birthday request from one of my lovely patrons! I’m delighted to be drawing Gundam Wing fanart in this year of 2022, and even more delighted that the fandom is still active. The dedication and enthusiasm is inspiring, and I’m so happy to contribute even a little bit of content! 

If you’ve been following my art for around 18 years or so from the way back days of Livejournal and DevART, which I know some of you have - and yikes, that makes me feel SO old - you’ll hopefully have spotted some improvement in my GW art lol

CHECK OUT MY PATREON HERE!

Gundam Wing: Valentine's Day Scenarios (ideas for shortfics I'll never write)

*Follows the Japanese convention, ie girls give chocolate to people on Valentine's Day but guys generally do not.

Heero: Receives chocolates and a card from Relena, which he tears up in front of his horrified friends. Relena is pleased by the continuation of their private joke and looks forward to ripping up his card on White Day.

Duo: Claims that he forgot it was Valentine's Day when Hilde gives him chocolates. "Oh, was that today? Thanks I guess..." While trying to look cool and nonchalant he gives Hilde the impression that he is uninterested and/or unimpressed with her gift. Hilde doesn't speak to him for the rest of the day. He receives zero sympathy from his friends for the mess he created. Ends up buying Hilde flowers to try to make it up to her.

Quatre: Receives no less than 50 boxes of chocolates and other gifts from admirers. He distributes most of it among his female household staff so they don't have to buy chocolates for their significant others. This has been a yearly tradition since he first was old enough to have admirers, and thus the day has been dubbed "Boxing Day: Round Two." Finding he has more than usual this year, Quatre thinks nothing of re-gifting chocolates to each of his friends as well.

Trowa: Catherine gifts him a box of chocolates and funerary flowers, which come with a sympathy card (offering condolences on his dead love life). Upon seeing the re-gifted chocolates from Quatre, Catherine jokingly demands her gift back since Trowa's love life is clearly less dead than he let on. Trowa points out that Quatre gave chocolates to all of his friends, not just to Trowa. It doesn't mean anything. ...Even if Quatre did know which chocolates Trowa would like best and made sure to give him those.

Wufei: Receives chocolates from an unknown source and spends the day trying to track down his secret admirer while his friends watch. As Wufei expresses more and more longing to meet his mystery admirer, Duo guiltily admits to Quatre that he sent the chocolates as a prank and now doesn't have the heart to tell Wufei the truth. Wufei's passionate declaration that this is the first time he's known love in years finally makes Duo crack and give a groveling apology. It is only then that Wufei curtly explains that he knew the identity of his "admirer" from the start and displays the evidence: a single long brown hair that was accidentally included in the gift wrap.

^If any of these strike anyone's fancy, please feel free to use them. As I said, I doubt I'll ever get around to writing them myself.

As a kid I was *obsessed* with Gundam Wing (where my alias 'Shini' originated), so I had to doodle my favorite pairing (2x4) at work on 2/4/24 LOL

(1/2) some minor jackal squad redesigns (that i totally hadn’t forgotten about)—mainly just color changes bc it always bothered me they basically had the same color palette ??… I get there like super minor characters, but it always bothered me. aside from that, I just changed what type of jackal they are. Uno is a side striped jackal and deux is a black-back jackal.

+ bonus of infinite being a cutie patootie

#sth #sonic the hedgehog #sonic forces #the jackal squad #uno the jackal #deux the jackal #infinite the jackal #zero the jackal #inifnite #my doodles #my redesign #yeah I had totally forgotten about these redesigns oops.. tho it has only been a week or two so not rlly that long #I'm working on quatre and trois rn prob post them in a day or two.. also pls forgive me if I used the wrong fan names for them!! #ik there really wasn’t a reason to change the type a jackal some of the squad are but I feel like it would be more interesting and add to.. #them having differences in appearance and color imo

[Fast Food AU]

Quatre: …Heero, can you… can you please order for me?

Heero: What? Why?

Quatre: Please? [points to cashier!Trowa] The cashier is too hot, you know how I freeze up when talking to hot guys!

Heero: Okay, okay… [goes up to cashier]

Trowa: One sec… [changes places with Duo]

Duo: Hey, what can I get for you?

Heero: …Do…Do you guys serve…food?

Duo:

Wufei, the fry cook: Are you fucking stupid?!

I was originally going to write an entire rant about the treatment Skip Woods gives to his female characters across both his outings in the Hitman franchise. I started going through Hitman (2007) with the intention of studying how Nika was portrayed as a character with the sole purpose of ranting about problems I saw in the way Woods handles women, female leads in particular (to be frank, there are few other female characters of note in either film; Diana is grandfathered in as an important character, but as I've ranted about before and will do so again, Katia's mother doesn't get the grace of a canonical name despite haunting most of H:A47). But, as I was doing that, I realized how similar the films are overall, at least in how they set themselves up.

One of the big points for me was the similarity between Katia and Nika, not in minute details but in overall character sketch: a woman in a bad position in life who is in need of rescue and (perhaps by necessity of genre convention) sexy. But not just any kind of sexy, she also has to be exotic. Nika is a Russian sex slave, a stereotype that may have flown in 2007 but needed necessary updating for 2015. So, Katia's mother is Sri Lankan Tamil. (She's initially implied to be mixed, which would slot her into the But Not Too Foreign trope where acceptable love interest territory lies, but when the story shifts gears to sibling team up mode and John is revealed to be a straight up antagonist, Katia is directly stated to be the product of mad science. It's highly probable that but for necessary modifications, she is a direct clone of her own mother--"You are the reflection of the woman I loved.")

There are other points I observed, too, mostly in setup (the details of deviation allow for the films to run different courses in their second halves). The prologue of the program that produced 47, the placements of any flashbacks (they taper out by the half-way point), the entire plot of "initial hit kick starting the action, followed by find the girl (whether that was an original goal or not), followed by kidnap the girl and deliver to her a series of key revelations, followed by drag her along to help on the mission". I don't watch enough movies (action movies in general or Woods' work in specific) to know whether this is scènes à faire or if H:A47 is really just Hitman (2007) with a different coat of paint. But I also don't think it's a bad thing. Lots of creatives have pet themes that make it into almost all their work.

The similarities also make it really easy to see where I think one version did better than the other. The prologue and flashbacks 47 has to getting tattooed from Hitman (2007) are something I prefer over H:A47, for example. Instead of the clinical sterility of medical exams, we get glimpses into the actual training the boys were given, including the implication that they were the ones responsible for shooting any of their number who tried to escape. 47 fixates on the tattoo because it caused him a lot of pain. There's a similar moment in H:A47 but instead 47 is asked if it hurt, and says yes. Coupled with the fact that in the 2015 version of the prologue, we do see 19 get his number, and the machine doing the stamping... gets it done in a couple of seconds and 19 doesn't even flinch. In the 2007 version somebody is using an actual tattoo gun, forcing him to keep a steady hand and 47 to hold as still as possible to not mess up the lines. To quote Dan Olsen: "inference is dramatically inferior to being shown."

(As a random aside, the monks in the 2007 version go completely unexplained. I think they were only included because in the second game 47 briefly converts to Catholicism and lives in a monastery. I have a web of theories about how the movies and games play off each other; this and 47's wearing the stripe tie from Blood Money for the first act are on that pin board.)

On the other end, I think Katia is an improvement, character wise, over Nika, and that boils down to one specific change. Katia is 47's little sister, a product of the same experiments that produced 47 himself. Because Katia also has Agent abilities, this handily allows her to participate freely in the action, in part because 47 spends the second half forcing/teaching Katia to use her abilities for combat until she can manage without prodding. Nika, for her part, acts in her storyline in spite of 47. She's told over and over again to stay put and not wander off or interfere, and she wanders off and interferes (though she does only interfere once; 47 scared her straight after that). Nika's primary story function is... teaching 47 to love? It's unclear, and her method half the time is to attempt to seduce him which, given his explicit rejection of the idea, counts as assault. Making Katia 47's sister eliminates the need for any weird "romance" dynamic involving 47 himself, and makes them much more equal in their interactions.

I want to make another point of comparison, too, and this is going to bring in ideas from the games. It's 47's relationship to his own name, which has clearly changed as time goes on. In Blood Money (which I'm certain influenced Hitman (2007)), 47 states "Names are for friends, so I don't need one." In Hitman (2007), he tells Nika "The place I was raised, they didn't give us names, they gave us numbers. Mine was 47." Both of these statements imply that he doesn't view 47 as a proper name but as something imposed on him (there's an argument to be made that in the 2007 film, the Organization used numbers as a means to strip their orphan charges of identity to keep them in line and foster loyalty).

However, in H:A47, he has this exchange:

Sanders: "So why don't we start with your name." 47: "47." Sanders: "That's... not a name." 47: "No, but it is mine."

Additionally in the prologue sequence of Hitman (2016), he has this exchange:

47: "I believe they called me... 47." Diana: "That's not a name." 47: "So make it one."

The acceptance of "47" as a name in its own right implies a version of the character more at peace with his clonehood and circumstances. In H:A47 especially, there are implications that the clones had a sort of subculture, or cultural identity among themselves (47 outright states that while each clone gets barcoded at birth, they only get the corresponding number stamped on them "when [they] become Agents", and if that's not a rite of passage I'm a wheel of cheese). One could surmise that their numerical identifiers were given appropriate significance, and I have nothing to go on here but I do think they lined up in numerical order for everything that required them to assemble in an orderly fashion (which is everything they could have been required to do at the lab).

The point I'm trying to make here is that as the Hitman franchise has progressed, the character of 47 has changed his relationship with the fact that his name is 47 (and everything that implies). Here I'm not going to say one or the other is bad, but I do think it's interesting and worth further study.

#hitman: agent 47 #hitman 2007 #tw sex slavery #one day I will make that unhinged post explaining how the games and movies are interconnected #also noteworthy is Katia's name which was chosen to kind of fill two requirements: #to sound like a normal name for the region (katya) #and to also fit in with the rest of the clones (she's no. 90) #and so they somehow ended up at quatre-vingt-dix/katia van dees #I'm guessing 47 helped with that one #phew that was a long boi

Trowa took the box out of his travel bag and put it on the bed. It had a bow around it and a letter was stuck underneath. Trowa pulled it out and unfolded the sheet.

"I just saw you in it. And I can't wait to see you wearing this. Have a great time, I love you. Quatre"

Trowa couldn't help but smile a little. That was so typical of Quatre. He was only away for a weekend and yet he gave him a farewell present. And he would probably get something more physical when he got back.

He carefully opened the bow and lifted the lid of the box. A green sweater lay neatly folded inside. Dark green and Trowa knew that Quatre had brought it because it would match his eyes.

Trowa stroked the fabric once before taking out the sweater. It was exactly the way he liked his sweaters best. Not too thick, breathable and soft enough that his movements weren't restricted. Not too warm, but still warm. It smelled of their laundry detergent.

Trowa could imagine Quatre holding this sweater in his hands, with a smile on his face. That very specific smile when he was happy about something or looking forward to something.

That made him smile himself and he put the sweater on. It fit perfectly.

A little something a litte late for Trowa day 😅

[sweet-rabbit]

this is a panel from a comic for next week that i just don't think i'll ever be able to top in regards to quality and felt deserved it's own post (add your own dialogue if the spirit of 3x4 compels you!)

ps: comic commissions WILL BE OPENED next week, for realsies this time. i've been putting it off since money has been okay, but let's just say we got ourselves some signs that i should cover my ass

#gundam wing #3x4 #trowa x quatre #trowa barton #quatre raberba winner #i'm curious what people think these two will be saying #i'd post the full comic today or tomorrow #but i just have a preferred posting day/time of evenings mon tues or wed #just seems to reach the most people here at those times don't know why
