The Director always said it was important to have ambition, Captain Tucker. We are the Meta, and together we will be strong enough to save your friends.

So the last week or so has been really rough for me, so I decided to kick back and indulge a bit by drawing some random TF2 AU shenanigans. 

I changed up the story yet again and added some more Mercenaries. One of which being a Red medic that totally doesn’t just have my loadout in game I totally made something completely new for him this totally isn’t my loadout-

ALSO I made a lot more sketches of my AU. But I didn’t want to try to draw all of them and make one big mega post with them like I usually do. I wanted to pick the comics one at a time and really enjoy drawing them and making them look nice. It was a lot easier to draw this comic and make it prebby because it felt like a teenie tiny project. It was relaxing. :}

#team fortress 2 #tf2 ocs #tw blood #tw injury #Whats funny is that spy is actually a good guy #He's one of the survivors and is actively helping both Red and Blu members of his team alike #And medic FULLY KNOWS THIS #so medic would have no reason to celebrate killing him #But also Spy would have no reason to disguise himself as Sully because both Blu and Red members trust him #also also Medic does not have his medigun in the between #so this whole comic is just a broken canon disaster XDD #at least it was fun to draw

Here's what I'll say about Siuan for right now, since their are still a lot of unknowns floating in the air: I think her actions in this episode are largely in accord with her book characterization no matter which way the show breaks on certain details.

Siuan's central character flaw in the books, the thing that largely leads to her downfall, is her default response to most problems being to exert raw force and control. It was how she handled the Hall of the Tower which allowed opposition to coalesces around Eladia and Alviarain, it was how she handled Gawyn creating a resentment in him that would drive him to side against her during the coup, and how she forced Min to remain in the Tower against Min's wishes which was the catalyst for Eladia realizing she could strike against Siuan at all.

And it's what Siuan does in this episode when confronted with a problem she does not have another way to deal with. Moiraine is with holding information from her? Go to Cairhien herself and seize the tiller of events with her own hands. Rand is running wild, derelict in his duty? Take him captive and bring him to the Tower where at least he will be under her eye and safe from the Forsaken. Moiraine is attempting to abscond with him as a result? Cut off her avenue of escape by any means necessary, even if it means damaging her personal relationship with Moiraine, possibly forever.

And that's the other thing to keep in mind: Siuan, like Moiraine, fundamentally does not trust anyone except her partner in conspiracy. She can't. For twenty years she's been on a quest that will lead to her stilling and execution if it is ever discovered. She and Moiraine are each other's confidants and allies, their deepest and most important loves. But even in the books Moiraine is withholding information from Siuan out of a sense of greater good. The difference is that in the show Siuan becomes aware of it in the show and of course she begins to doubt and loose trust in Moiraine as a result.

In her mind she has gone almost at once from being a partner, one half of a team that trusted in and depended on each other, to being on her own against the storm. If Moiraine didn't tell her about being stilled, what else might she be holding back? And if she is stilled, then realistically, how much good can she do for their cause now? How can she keep Rand safe from himself and the Forsaken, prepare him for what's coming, when she might not live another year? And that agony- that pain that the person she trusts and loves most didn't just betray that trust but also might not be around long enough for Siuan to be mad even be mad at her- has to be put aside because the mission, the duty, is everything to Siuan, just like with Moiraine. The stakes are too high for anything else.

So she falls back on the safety net of the Tower's traditions and secret plans. Take Rand to the Tower, keep him safe, prepare him for what's coming and trust to the Light for the rest. Take away his agency for his own good and the good of the world (something it should be noted she's wistful for the ability to do in TSR when she wishes she could keep hiim from a learning a word of the Prophecies, which is the same scene where she outright admits to Min she intends to try and control him in), and bring him firmly under her thumb. And what does Moiraine do? Enlist the aid of one of the Forsaken to break Rand free and flee to Falme through a Waygate, which is at best an INSANELY risky and potentially very stupid play, and at worst tacit confirmation of her worst fear, that Moiraine has gone over to the Shadow, and everything is on the brink of being lost.

And where does that leave Siuan? Isolated and alone and with no other fallback by her same response: to keep exerting raw force, to pressing the spring down until it snaps.

Milk ref sheet done yaHOOOOOOOOOOO lookit my big beautiful baby they filled with joy and happiness

#milk #digital #mogimage #the worst part of making this was their fucked up hands #lemurs gotta lemur and grab fruits and branches and small animals and bugs but y'know its fucked up that they have weird hands #at least i was able to euphemistically state how much fun they have with themselves and their girlfriend #robbie just has fuckin. hoof fingers. it don't work like that for her #very sad about that #ANYWAY i learned recently from a discussion on discord about putting tattoos on furries that scars grow white fur sometimes #so i applied that here to make it look less like just fur texture on milk's arms #might tone it down eventually but im not certain #a side story about that is that milk changes the story behind all of their sh scars every time they're asked by someone they don't trust #like “yeah i broke some equipment in a hs chemistry class and stupidly tried to wipe up broken glass with my arms” #“i tried to hug a big cactus when i was younger” #or “i used to work in a kitchen and i was really bad at paying attention when cutting vegetables” #generally they just don't like to think about it so they wear funny arm socks or long sleeves most of the time but sometimes they don't car

Tbh I think it'd be really interesting if Doorkeay was less just a romantic ship or more of like… at first they were uneasy allies since they had both been wronged by the same person and had some bitterness and anger about it, so they had a common opinion of "fuck the Magnus Institute" even if they didn't necessarily trust each other yet

Slowly, the two spend more and more time around each other, planning things, discussing discoveries they've made, seeing if either has made any progress in figuring things out, and they start to move from uneasy allies to actual friends. They no longer only keep their meetings formal and purely goal-oriented. They find themselves slipping into friendly banter and casual conversation, even when it's not what they came for

They end up realizing they have a lot more in common than they could've ever thought, and that they actually make a good duo and appreciate each other's company after everything both of them have gone through

Michael doesn't try to hurt or deceive Gerry at any point. It doesn't only care about him as a vital ally, but also someone it actually, genuinely cares about

Gerry goes from being wary and suspicious of Michael to valuing his abilities and insights, to actually also seeing him as a friend, and someone he, too, genuinely cares about

They aren't lovers, but they have a bond deeper than others could have ever imagined either of them ever having with anyone. They are important to each other, and they won't let the other go

#tma #the magnus archives #tma headcanons #gerard keay #gerry keay #michael distortion #michael shelley #doorkeay #colore speaks #this can be read as either platonic or queerplatonic either one works lol #but yeah. i am a sucker for non-romantic character duos and dynamics #what if i just want these two to try and figure shit out and end up becoming friends while trying to numb their own pain of lonliness #and also trying to rebuild their senses of trust after being betrayed by the people in their lives that should have cared about them #what if i just want some deeply broken and traumatized people to try and find a way to rebuild their lives. even if its not permanent #even if it barely lasts any time at all

[spacedlexi]

people dont talk enough about how heartbreaking the marlon betrayal mustve been for clem too,,

this dude saves the life of her and her kid. takes them in has them patched up gives them their first hot meal in who knows how long. gives them a safe place to stay. possibly permanently. confides in her that hes trying to be a good leader but feels like and fears that hes failing. asks her to help him take care of the rest of the group. helps her get over her fear of dogs by asking her to trust him. and things go well. she feels safe. like this place could really finally be the home shes been looking for

but as soon as she finds out what happened to the twins. that marlon planned on giving up her and aj too. she immediately becomes a liability to him and he attempts to kill her for it. locks her in the basement to die by walker. then tries to turn the group against her so he can shoot her instead when the first method fails. and he nearly succeeds

then a majority of the group turn against clem the minute aj kills marlon. ignoring marlons mistakes but condemning aj for his. like clem wasnt betrayed by marlon in the exact same way he betrayed the twins. like she literally wasnt almost killed twice? and how long had he been considering giving her up? was it always some contingency he planned? did he truly want to keep them around and things only changed when he feared the raiders had returned? she'll never know

#i think about this a lot... the betrayal... clems deep trust issues... then they all want to kick her out (except vi aasim and tenn 💕) #when she was just as impacted if not more so than the rest of them. since she was the only one with her Life on the line #thats why violet fighting so hard for them to stay is so important imo and would MEAN SO MUCH to clem too #vi and aasim are the only ones who can see past the bullshit and realize that theyre safer with clem around #while the rest would rather kick her out so they dont have to acknowledge their confused feelings about marlon #like first marlon betrays her then the rest of the group tell her to get fucked and die. dont come back. we never want to see you again #but she does. and she saves them #personally i do think marlon had 'good' intentions but he was a scared and fucked up kid who made bad decisions #and continued to make bad decisions to cover for his previous fuck ups #but that just makes him interesting :) #and i like teaching aj the difference between people like marlon and people like lilly #all of clems 'wow i feel so safe here :) and these guys seem smart :)' personal dialogue around ericsons makes me 😭 #she was so happy to be at ericsons. and they turn against her so fast when she was more of a victim than any of them #aj is a literal baby. do not treat him like an adult who can make fully rationalized decisions. hes a baby and he only knows survival #at least they slowly get over it after clem comes back (some take longer than others...) #but the lack of compassion in voting to kick them out is heartbreaking. she was heartbroken #and thats not acknowledged as much as it should be #posting this old drafted post now cuz it expands my feelings on clems broken heartedness about the marlon situation #it speaks #twdg

thinking about how the ammunition that phoebe uses against mulder in fire is a childhood nightmare that he had shared with her, and how the world only has so much held over him because he shares so generously with it

#this is…….the thing honestly #and this is why scully is Like That when it comes to how cutthroat and protective she is of him #thinking about ‘paper hearts’ #and how she tells him that he walked in with his heart on his sleeve #and he did #he always does #he keeps doing it #and it’s not that she wants him to stop #this is what she wants to shield #scully has that kind of protectiveness towards him that you have towards a child that hasn’t been touched by the world yet #it’s very #‘the world is at least half terrible though i keep this from my children’ #‘good bones’ by maggie smith #scully in the beginning is like……there is something here that should have broken by now #and she wants to watch him be able to walk into every room with the most hopeful answer and a hand out to every stranger #despite how Frustrating!! it can be and how easily exploited it is and how often it’s used against him #she wants to protect his ability to hope and trust and share so generously with the world #and i adore that about her character because it would be easier for her to tell him to take his heart off his sleeve and open his eyes #she just values that in him so much and she’s so desperate to nurture it and protect it because it’s so special to her #he’s so special to her #and how rare it is that someone whose experienced so much loss and trauma and abuse sees the world the way he does #she doesn’t have to keep the reality of the world from him #he’s seen it his entire life #but he has so much belief in the world anyway #and she’s cautiously running behind #txf.txt #fire

Okay so The Star Beast was fun and I'm hyped for Wild Blue Yonder and everything but I am shattered over the new episode of Eleventh Doctor Chronicles.

Broken Hearts is some of the best dark!Doctor Expanded Universe exploration I ever consumed, and that includes The Eleventh Doctor Year Two comics. I am sobbing. I am in tears. I am broken as thoroughly as the Doctor broke Valerie Lockwood.

Me when I can't find any Broken Hearts/Curiosity Shop stan posts to reblog or fic to read to get out the angsty energy...

(fic. I'm writing fic. and yes this is an open request for reading recs)

#'you can't be scared of me' 'YOU JUST SAID ITS TAKEN YOU CENTURIES OF PRACTICE NOT TO BE MURDERY! SO SCARED OF YOU? A LITTLE BIT- YEAH!' #that's my Valerie. that's my Doctor. one of the best tardis teams- audio dramas or otherwise #Valarie lockwood #eleventh doctor #eleventh doctor chronicles #where my Eleventh Doctor Chronicles peeps at?? someone help me #(I mean. im at work. but I can't stop thinking abt it since I listened. AND THERES NO BROKEN HEARTS STAN POSTS TO RB) #words by seaweed #btw I understand them not bein as popular/mainstream! they're prohibitively expensive #I bought this one because I couldn't wait. and big finish deserves more $ than bbc but I... have pirated maaaany doctor who audios #I love how horrible eleven is in his EU stuff. idk if I mentioned. it suits him really well. #he's horrible in the show too. but he doesn't get enough shit for it from his companions <3 #love Rory and River for their service buuuuut #Alice and Valerie are better than Amy and Clara sorry #(I do love Amy and Clara to DEATH) #that said Alice also forgives him reeeally easily. which is fine! but the fact that she 'trusts him implicitly' in year 3 is irrational. #at least with Valerie the Doctor had excuse of having been recovering from brain damage. #anyway eleventh doctor chronicles broken hearts is great and flawless and the perfect followup to curiosity shop

something that really drives me crazy in ntt is how joey isn’t given flaws that are ever explored in a meaningful way. i think a perfect storyline they could’ve done to give him more depth is go off of the established thing joey does of eavesdropping on people. have it be a situation where he finds out something about one of his friends that he shouldn’t know & then he has to learn the hard way about respecting other people’s privacy

#there is that time in new titans when he breaks raven’s confidence after he spots some red flags in her first relationship #but that’s never made into a full character moment for him #in fact donna’s the one who speaks for the whole team saying that they shouldn’t have made assumptions about raven’s relationship #(even though they did turn out to be true) #like joey’s the one who starts the conflict there’s no resolution where he gets to grow as a character #he ends up saving raven from her evil boyfriend & reuniting her with her mom #but none of him apologizing for breaking her trust or showing that he learned from that going forward #another angle i think would be interesting is the time he tried to swoop in & ask out sarah simms immediately after she got broken up with #but perhaps that’s a post for another day #joey wilson #ntt
