How do you think Laswell met her wife? What's domestic life like for her when she gets to go home?
Have a lovely day!
Hello! A second CoD post today since I was able to write this fairly quickly! This is about how I think Laswell met her canon wife, but everyone can interpret this however they like! I hope this is enjoyable!
Laswell Meeting Her Wife and Domestic Life With Her
If we’re talking about someone inserting themselves into the CoD world, then I’d say it’d be however the person intended to meet her. However, if we’re talking about her canon wife, then I’d likely have to say through work. It’s not uncommon for someone to meet through work. Besides, I can imagine the CIA having a few women working there as well, a few more than just Laswell. So, there’s a chance another one of the women working there was also into girls. And that’s likely one of the main factors that drew Laswell to that specific woman.
Don’t get me wrong, Laswell doesn’t develop crushes easily, she doesn’t now, she didn’t back then, but it would likely be that feeling of unity, of not being alone, that would draw Laswell to her future wife. It’s not often someone would have come out back then, especially not to someone you’re not sure about, so she knows something like that is an honor. And it’s that which would make her subconsciously like that woman more than the other ones, wanting to spend more time with her, get to know her better. And in those years she’d have known her, she’d eventually fall in love with her. Laswell knows what she’s feeling, but she’d test the waters a bit at first. To anyone outside it would be obvious she likes that woman more than anyone else. Given that she gives her lots and lots of gifts to gauge her reaction, takes the time out of her day to spend with her and overall just compliments her, it’s hard to not think there’s something going on here. Laswell doesn’t realize this immediately, but she will eventually.
Afterwards I’d say it was probably her wife who asked her about that sort of behavior. And, a few days later, either of them would have probably confessed they like the other. And thus a few years of dating commence.
After a year or two, Laswell would have proposed to her. Although she sometimes did lie awake at night, thinking about what it would have been like for her future wife to propose to her instead, she was just that smitten by her. As she works for the CIA as well, Laswell knows her wife is just as capable as she is. Maybe she doesn’t know as many languages, but it doesn’t matter to her, once they go on vacation Laswell can play interpreter. And on vacations they went together. Not very often, mind you, since the both of them were stationed anywhere in the world, but they would try to see the nicer parts of the world together. Amsterdam, Kyoto, Vienna. All of that stuff. By that time, they had already long since moved in together.
So, it isn’t often the two of them get to see each other in general, but that’s why they cherish what little time they can spend together. Their love never falters, and when they’re alone behind doors it’s kind of sickeningly sweet how they treat each other. It used to be worse when they were younger, but they’ve since mellowed out a little bit. So, when Laswell is home, her domestic situation can be a bit lonely. But for the sake of this ask we’re going to say her wife is actually home this time.
She doesn’t like to cook very much, so there won’t be too many homemade meals. Her wife can only be convinced to stand behind the stove whenever Laswell eggs her on, promising her a small reward, such as going to the cinema together. Her wife never cooks alone, only with Laswell. All those other times she either eats out, grabs something that only needs to be heated up or orders food. It’s only with Laswell that she can get over her disdain of cooking.
However, other than that, the two of them will take turns doing chores. If either of them just came home from work, then the other will take care of cleaning, washing clothes, putting away stuff and so on and so forth. They usually do their tasks together. So one of them will clean the dishes while the other one cleans the kitchen. If all tasks are done for either of them, then they’ll help the other. Since they’re both aware teamwork is important, something they learned throughout their careers, they would never hesitate to do so.
Laswell’s wife is a more traditionally affectionate woman than Laswell herself. She loves to give her wife a kiss every morning and before work, make her coffee and maybe toast some bread while she’s at it as well. As she usually gets up earlier than Laswell, she usually gets those things out of the way immediately, but won’t wake her up. It’s usually the loud coffee machine that does.
Overall, the domestic situation between the two of them is very loving. They don’t see each other that often, but whenever they do, they make that short amount of time count. With a kiss and a hug from her wife here and there, Laswell never ends up touch starved either. However, the only thing that had been bothering her about her wife would be her nagging about her smoking. That’s why she’s trying to quit now, just to keep her happy. Happy wife, happy life, after all. Whenever Laswell gets to see her wife content, she’s happy as well. She’d go through all nine circles of hell just to protect her and make sure nothing would happen to her. And at some point in her career, she likely has done that already.

Break in your burdens.
But make sure you wake up with a finger in the sky.
Don't f***ing lie.

I forgot to post this before lol.
S.O.S Resurrection released last month. I was very happy that day. S.O.S has always been my favorite HOAA song,so having a remake of it whose quality equals recent DAGames/IRIS material is not only kind of a mini-dream come true but also puts a smile on my face. My baby has grown up to be a man. It makes me even more excited for HOAA: Resurrection and shows how far Will's music has evolved since 2018 (and that maybe,really,this remake album makes more sense to come out now than in 2019). I ended up doing it at the time. A test that turned into something more complete, so to speak.
First it was an exercise to practice drawing skeletons,more specifically, skulls. Trying to draw them less cartoonish,a little bit more realistic,and at the same time, make them expressive. I want to draw more Post-Explosion Goliath,and for that,I'll have to practice more on drawing skeletons.
Second was testing an interpretation of Goliath without the visor,specifically,with the IRIS embedded in his right eye. Despite knowing this information for 3 years, I don't think we've ever seen the Goliath without the visor before. I'm sure Will will show this image one day, but in the meantime, I wanted to try my rendition of this look.
In the end, I ended up choosing to use the skull exercise and make it something more complete. Which was the end result. I decided to play around with the colors and try to replicate the lyric video aesthetic. I think it turned out nice. 👍
And overall, this drawing turned out nice.
I hope I can do a few more drawings with this guy before Resurrection comes out. (but I don't promise anything, tho)
Now go listen to S.O.S Resurrection (or not, it's up to you man)
(Also, yes, I'm posting this on the eve of DOTD's anniversary, I'm way too late to post this haha)

Ngl, I really love your hot take hotline, especially when you talk about the hypocrisy in this fandom. Like theyre blogs here that will say XYZ and will retaliate to it afterwards. Quite funny but shitty at the same time. Saying things that will be "It's okay if youre closeted, dont come out" then afterwards be like " LOUIS IS GAY, HE SOO FUCKING GAY, WHY CANT PEOPLE SEE HE IS GAY, THE CHILD IS FAKE GUYS, LETS EAT SOME MOLD AND CHANT END IT END IT END IT " bunch of hypocrites tbh
Did I ghostwrite this and send it to myself? No, I'd never do something that incredibly tragic, BUT I VIBE WITH THIS LIKE YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE, godddd. I feel the same way when the lady-hating band strikes up its latest tune, like, you are literally NOT supporting a closeted artist, you're doing the very opposite when you want to out them with every fiber of your being because of the way you want to be right and/or you don’t like the way their girlfriend talks or looks or dances or thirsts or dresses or whatever it is you dislike the most in yourself.
