RL mini update: modelled the Renegade's cockpit! I swear the dimensions of the renegade shift drastically between sets. Tardis ass cargo hold far larger than any other of my models aheuwhh

Anyways, linework will begin soon on chpt 1!

New header?? :DD

Wip without shading and effects:

And also, I'm just saying, the glow up comparison from my previous header? :DDD

This was a scrapped cover concept for RL but please enjoy Kazu's ass with me :))

I swear it's wholly unintentional how many times Kazu turns up in my art ass first.

A follow up:

CAMMIE MACCLOUD WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE A FECKIN ANIME CHARACTER

YASAMIN MADRANI WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE A FUCKING HEDGEHOG

#Nothing wrong with anime characters #but as my style as developed its leaned into semi realism and cammies eyes are disproportionately big for her face like wth bunny what

Reloaded update!

Thumbnails are done! Doing final checks on the script before starting linework! Our favourite found family of mecha dumbasses are back at it again!

Yaz: PUT YOUR SEATBELT ON. Cammie: No! I refuse to be restrained!

Gen:LOCK Re:LOADED is now on Ao3!!!

Just an update! I've ported over the prologue comics to Ao3! It'll be my archive for these things. If anyone wants to read them through without having to search my blog for them they're definitely there for you :)) I'll still be uploading my updates and sneak peaks/bonus content here though so stick around for that!

Also, the draft script and thumbnailing is in session for the first couple sections of Issue #1 of RL proper!! You'll be hearing about that soon :))

Now it's been up for a couple days, time for:

* SOUP RANTS ABOUT TEENY DETAILS IN THEIR COMIC *

These two Vanguard members are actually existing OCs! They belong to @simplyender and @cammie-maccloud (tumblr won't let me tag Cora's main ://). Their names are Jeremy and Lia, and they're 2/3 of the wonderful Bastard Squad. If you have any further questions I'll direct you to Ender :))

As much as Cammie is the designated gen z equivalent, Val is peak meme material and I will not change my mind on that. Also I gave him eyeshadow cause he deserves it. No further comment.

Miranda's first cameo! Nothing like having to call your ex at 3am cause his sister came back from the dead.

Julian gets to meme in this one a little too

I'm just gonna show you guys what Ender sent me in response to seeing the sketch of this page for the first time

And my subsequent response:

Ah sibling dynamics.

FUN FACT. ENDER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS LINE. ANY ROBERTA STANS HAVE TO THANK THEM.

That's it for this one! Tune in next time for a behind the scenes look at 'Soup struggles to comic!'

This came to me while I was dissociated in a loud ass restaurant, figured I'd pay tribute to the gl moots :)) @gen-incorrect @modkatisbacc @autisticblueteam @simplyender you guys are awesome and I appreciate you guys so much

[thesouppond]

Appears from the ether again, after months of only being present enough to fill my queue up, with some WIP snippets from the gen:LOCK re-write I mentioned before...

And also finally adressing these tags lmao, sorry @thesouppond I realise these are like 3 months old.

#FUCK IM JUST SEEING THIS NOW???#FUCK YEAH 2024 SEASON OF EVERYONE GETS TO REWRITE GENLOCK CAUSE FUCK S2#Ahem anyway hi genlock moot :)))#I love your writing btw! Ive read your existing GL fics theyre great!#at this point if someone can give me a GL fic i havent already met I will forever be indebted to you i am DYING for GL content

We're really out here trying our best to do better by GL than HBO did huh!! I've been loving Reloaded, it was so nice to see someone else pop up in the gL tag after it was comparatively dead for so long. I've been working on my re-write since just after s2 came out and it was lonely in there for a while there lmao.

So I'm glad you enjoyed the couple of fics I've already done! I'm re-using parts of one of them for the actual re-write since I'm going for the 'keep the basic bones of s2 but aim to fix the execution into something less shit/re-work the worst bits' and I didn't want to write that first nemesis fight over again from total scratch lmao...

I want to finish writing all of the re-write before I post it in full, but that does mean it's taking forever whoops.

I'm still not past the introduction of Sinclair as his portion is so involved and I keep getting distracted by other projects/hobbies, but I did finally get to a point where my take on Sinclair is actually fun to write! I'm keeping his boyfriend because I did at least like that Sinclair was made canonically queer and they're actually cute when I'm just doing my own thing.

So since I feel like posting some WIP bits, here's my favourite Chris/Sinclair stuff I've done so far.

“YEAH! Take that you fucked up tin can!” Sinclair winced. The shout was like an ice pick being driven into his skull, but it was also what finally drove him to lift his head. There ahead of him, wielding a large piece of debris in one hand, was a heavyset Asian man dressed in torn clothes and covered in grime. He reared back, and for a split second Sinclair thought that projectile was for him, until he heard an impact, and the last of the humming died. The man brushed off his hands, pride written on every feature, and in that moment he was the most beautiful thing Sinclair had ever seen. “Coast’s clear!” the stranger called behind him. There was movement, but Sinclair didn’t care to look, his attention caught by the man’s approach. “And we’ve got a live one.” Sinclair’s throat was so dry he broke down coughing twice, in the time it took the stranger to kneel in front of him. “I-I’m not Union. I-I know— with the uniform, and the—” Another violent burst of coughing cut him off. The stranger handed him a canteen and a crooked smile. “Yeah, no shit. You’ve got way too much emotion on your face to be even a defector,” he said, and if Sinclair wasn’t so busy chugging the offered water, he might have mustered a laugh. “That, plus, the lack of helmet, the collapsing, and the drone getting ready to turn you into a novelty cheese grater kinda gave it away.” “Christ, I could kiss you right now,” Sinclair blurted and then regretted in quick succession. Fuck. He’d been in near solitary too long, his filter had worn away to nothing and he was making a damn fool of himself in front of the first sane people he’d seen in weeks. Except the stranger just… laughed, good-naturedly. “Close, the name’s Chris, not Christ. And I’d say buy me dinner first, but it’s a bit hard out here.”

AND then a little later...

“What about the refugee railroads?” Chris lowered his beer bottle and wiped his mouth. “Too far.” “Vanguard safe crossings?” “Too far.” “The— fucking Canadian border?” Chris laughed, “Too far. Further than either of the other things. Jesus, dude. You sure you haven’t got a concussion?” “Mostly,” Sinclair said, rubbing his face with his intact hand. “I just— you’re going to die if you stay here. A drone only has to get lucky once.” “And if we go deeper in, we’ll only die faster,” Chris said with a simple shrug. “We already have to pack up and move every few weeks when the line moves. And every time, the Polity border gets a little bit further away. Believe me, man, I want nothing more than to get outta here, but it’s just not happening.” “What if I helped?” The offer fell out before he’d consciously decided to make it, but Sinclair stood by it. Even when Chris looked at him dubiously. “No offence, dude, but you’re just one guy. And two days ago you could barely stand.” “And now I’m fine,” Sinclair insisted. “I’m a soldier. I was decorated for valour after I got my squad out of a run-in with the Union that should’ve killed us all. I was the only one who could even still hold a gun. I swear, I could get you somewhere safe. Are you really telling me you’d rather keep sitting around waiting to die than take a risk?” Chris’s brow furrowed, and he didn’t answer immediately, taking another swig from his scratched up bottle of beer. Sinclair sighed. “Look. I need to get to a Vanguard base one way or another. I don’t want to leave you guys behind if I don’t have to. I owe you my life. And maybe dinner.” Chris almost choked on his drink. “Wow,” he laughed, clearing his throat, “you sure pick your moments, huh?” Sinclair shrugged. “Figure if you’re not actually into it I’ll just blame the concussion.” “That you don’t have.” “Exactly.” Chris rolled his eyes, but he was smiling. “Smooth. Smooth operator. Alright, alright, fine, we’ll talk to the others in the morning. It might be a tougher sell when they’re not the ones getting dinner with a hot soldier out of it, but hey, guess we’ll see.” “Are you looking past the just-got-done-being-tortured chic, here, or is that part of the charm?” “Are you kidding? There’s a whole genre focused on how hot soldier guys look after they’ve been through hell.” “Not sure that’s the intended takeaway of action movies.” “Well,” Chris shrugged, starting to pick at a can of food, “it was definitely my takeaway.” Sinclair laughed. Honest-to-god laughed, in a way he was surprised he was even capable of after the last few weeks. The normality of the moment was like a balm on all the aching parts of him, mental and physical alike. For a moment he could almost forget that the reason he looked like shit was because he’d just escaped the worst experience of his life. For a moment it felt like the fight was over.

Now I just have to actually get through the remainder of my Sinclair set-up and then I'll be only one chapter away from finishing the first half of the fic... so close and yet so far lmao.

#YOOOOOOOO #your writing is insaneee #I can't wait to see what you end up with!! #I love how youre taking S2 and making it actually good! #GL moot!!
