North + Chicago Holiday, Pt. 1

(Stacked Rewatch / Timestamp Roulette Art Challenge)

Busy week, tired fanartist; I did a quick oil pastel landscape sketch of the last scene in North, and while the ep next in line in the stacked rewatch, Chicago Holiday Part 1, had some very colorful art opportunities, I could only manage a tiny (10 x 12 cm) doodle of Welsh and the Duck Boys on the back of a used envelope with colored pencils and fibre-tip pens, accompanied by a million yawns from yours truly during the 10 minutes it took - I should've gone to bed already, but I wasn't going to give up my at-least-one-sketch-per-episode goal yet.

1 Actor, 2 Characters - Due South : Free Willie

A continuation of my project to compile lists (by episode) of actors who play 2 (or more) characters within the dS universe!

Listed by actor and roughly in order of appearance...

Schroeder Todd - Charles, one of the bank robbers in Free Willie (S1E1); also appears as Cobb (name pulled from credits on IMDb) aka the man with the American flag tattoo on his neck in The Promise (S2E5)

2. Matt Birman - Donald, another one of the bank robbers; is also credited for stunt work in several other episodes (per IMDb - S1E10 Gift of the Wheelman, S2E13 White Men Can't Jump to Conclusions, and S2E16 Body Language, but I've been unable to actually spot him in any other episodes yet)

3. Kevin Rushton - Construction worker (uncredited, per IMDb) whose ladder RayV uses to traverse the rooftops; also credited for stunt work in several episodes (see also my post for the Pilot)

4. Tony Craig - Detective Jack Huey; also appears as an old man who looks like Huey in Dr Longball (S4E1)

5. Djanet Sears* - Willie's public defender; also appears as Caroline Wilson (name pulled from credits on IMDb), Garret's public defender in Heaven and Earth (S1E19)

*although I suppose since Willie's public defender isn't named in the episode (and I couldn't make out a name on her ID badge), it could be argued that Sears plays only one character on dS - Public Defender Caroline Wilson

6. Rummy Bishop - Cleaning salesman who polishes Fraser's boots (uncredited, per IMDb); also appears as Mr. Rubens, who joins the neighborhood watch in An Eye for an Eye (S1E13) and as RayV's Uncle Lorenzo in Some Like it Red (S2E12)

I always think I'm prepared for Juliet is Bleeding, then Huey having to be held back from running towards the burning car takes me out every time

- It's completely unfair, we make one mistake and we're on security detail. - Louis, did I tell you to open your big mouth? Did I tell you to swear on your honour that the matches didn't exist?

Balance Beam

Jack Huey angry character piece. Late season 2.

Being a good detective requires understanding balance. The edge of your skills to push a confession or wait to pull it out. The quiet to study your perspective case or perp, or the voice to strike. Balancing not only what you see but trusting when you know and when you are choosing to act upon it. That's how you close, how you really solve and then can go home to sleep at night.

He can't find a partner who gets this, and his third scotch bottle means no sleep. He doesn't want another one of either anyways but now he's off balance and it's not just the liqour.

Vecchio keeps trying to be there, and it's only vaguely enough. It's not Louis. Louis was his balance. Louis was a damn fool and all mouth and emotion. Never walked into a case with reason. See, that was Huey's place in this partnership. That's how they worked. Louis it was always a hair-brained feeling and instinct or gut.

It was his gut that murdered him. Had to knock it to Vecchio and feed. “Let's get em back for taking our bust with a free meal on mister new first grade dick and no tip Jack.” Or honestly, it was because Louis liked Vecchio. Louis liked the two of them, the mountie and Vecchio, as much as he was jealous of the solve rate comparison. Louis' heart meant he cared when someone else was happy or hurt and he showed it.

It's why Jack tolerates Vecchio now. Didn't blame him for any of this. For Louis. For the similarities of the soul they were or are. Vecchio may be dulled in his emotional grief, but he's still like Louis with temper and passion, he at least cared and showed he feels it, even if it was maybe part selfish, and it tempers the dull ache left in Jack's heart that at least Vecchio tries to balance Jack, or himself. Jack doesn't pin this on Vecchio.

But Jack's happy to stick it to the mountie. Because he's the one Jack blames.

Oh he knows it too. Jack sees it in his quiet eyes. In the way he avoids the conflict and Jack now like the coward. Avoids Vecchio's fixes too, while now, *scoffs* now, turning to softness with Vecchio. No longer pushing there, like he's afraid to tip the scales and break it. So too when Vecchio is with Jack, he trails like a third wheel or keeps a wide berth, watching and desperate on the outside, and Jack likes it. And as Vecchio tries and trips and unbalances juggling the two of them, watches between them with sad distance thinking it's his fault, trying to fix and mend in guilt...well Jack gets his only emotional rise in his jealous pleasure of how it makes the mountie unhappy but the bastard can't stop it.

Cause damnnit if he's superman, if he's so right and just, why couldn't he stop Louis too!

So...it's cruel, but maybe Jack gets his reason or unreason to keep going in the unbalance he's caused them. In can't just mend with him in the middle. His loss is still theirs.

The mountie, Fraser, skirts the lines like he's done since he showed up in the bull and dragged Vecchio to his bosom and madness, but he can't drag them out of grief that easy. Especially if he won't own feeling it.

See, secretly that's why Jack hates him most. Will keep right on doing so, don't give me those sad eyes Louis! No, not for Vecchio either. Maybe one day the 27th will forgive and welcome the canadian back but not him.

Cause there is no reasoning loss. Jack knows it. Feels it for Louis now. And he can forgive Vecchios' feud, or Zuko's criminality, or even god help him Sorrento's planting the bomb, but there's no way it's reasonable or there's a way to justify the why and how Fraser. There was no justice the minute Louis died.

He didn't want it either. He wanted the entire gamed system to pay. Vecchio got that feeling right away. Vecchio shared it. Owned it too. Yet the mountie wouldn't let them... and he's still trying to reason out. Reason Vecchio back, even after when he came to willingly, and reason Jack. The stupid bastard!

Jack's not stupid. Like he said, good detective. Balanced or no, drunk or grief ridden. He wasn't... Louis wasn't dead when the mountie broke at the seems the first time, then pretended he didn't feel, that reason hadn't deserted him. But they let it slide then. For Vecchio's sake. They gave them the support, and held with and against. Yet now he can't give it to them back. Give it to his partner. Not even to Vecchio now.

Jack watches the mountie. He knows lying to yourself. No wanting to balance yourself, pretending with reason or booze when you can't take the hurt.

But to do it at the expense of your partner? No see, that was the unforgivable moment. Or all the moments he held Jack and Vecchio back in the aftermath but had reasons too good to hold on. It makes Jack wanna be sick. Or is that the scotch again? Mountie sandbagging indeed.

It’s Eclipse and Free Willie week in our dS Stacked Rewatch!

Huey gets messed up TWICE at the end of Eclipse (maybe for doubting Kowalski???) and I think it’s so affectionate and goofy!!

First Fraser totally whiffs the high five, sending Huey flying forward into the wall behind him. This is even BEFORE Strange Bedfellows, when Fraser opens his car door into the Alderman’s [redacted] for upsetting Ray. He’s already being petty on Kowalski’s behalf? It happens in the span of one (1) episode. Then, Huey goofs the cabbage kick and Ray STEPS ON HIM instead of over him in the aftermath.

I love that I can rewatch this show 600 times and still find stupid little new things to love 🥺

Odds + Asylum + Chicago Holiday Pt 2

(Stacked Rewatch / Timestamp Roulette Art Challenge)

Oh dear - a three-episode week in the stacked rewatch, and I left it all to the last day which also turned out to be a headache day. But I'm not leaving any eps "for later", so here are super quick digital freehand doodles, one per episode. D-U-N done!

[hwaetnot]

...Huey? You ok?

Elaine and the officer behind her react:

Eclipse, man.

[systematic-and-somehow-tragic]

"I'm afraid I'm not all that well liked up there, sir." "By 'up there' you mean?" "Pretty much all of Canada, sir."

and then he calls Ray his best friend at the end of this episode 💕

Louie Duck and Dewey Duck argue with Jack Kangaroo (my OC) about winning the Duckburg 500 - Quack Pack - Duckverse - My version

Last week I drew this drawing related to Duckblr Movie Night when I watched with my friends the Quack Pack episode "Need 4 Speed" (the episode has the same name as the famous movie of the same name and the car racing video game of the same time). Not to mention the length, the funniest part for me was the end where the Toy Kangaroo with the little accordion wins the Duckburg 500 race. On that occasion I gave my headcanon what it actually looks like at the end of the episode where Donald's nephews Dewey and Louie argue with their friend from Australia Jack Kangaroo, that the toy kangaroo won at the end of that race. By the way, Jack Kangaroo is my OC and I drew him a few months ago and you can see his first version here:

Yes, Toy Kangaroo won thanks to a quick fluency given by Professor Ludwig von Drake. Yes Toy Kangaroo is a toy from Jack, I don't need to say why. So I drew a short comic about it. For those who can't see, here is their conversation:

Jack Kangaroo: "I can't believe my toy won the race. How did it get to to you in the first place?"

Louie Duck: "Well...We didn't think it was yours, it was our Uncle Ludwig who tested how fast he could go and the won the race, and we fainted, when we heard that."

Jack Kangaroo: "All kinds of nonsense, mate."

Dewey Duck thought to himself:"I blame Huey for saying to drain everything of super speed fluid."

I hope you like this drawing and this ending (yes, some consider it the last episode of Quack Pack) and feel free to like and reblog this, just don't use my ideas and my characters without mentioning me and without my permission. Thank you!

And thanks to @writebackatya and @tokuvivor for the great Duckblr Movie Night.
