know when to hold them (know when to fold them) - a Captain America/The Sting fanfic by akirakurosawa for @sebsrainbowbicycle

"Do you," Steve started to say and then didn't finish, because he knew Bucky probably wouldn't remember, and that hurt them both, and he didn't want to hurt Bucky with his words no more than Bucky wanted to hurt him with his fists. "I was just thinking about these two guys from - from back then, when we were young." "Their names were - well, when they introduced themselves to us they didn't use their real names, but later, after - uh, after we became friends, they told us their real names." OR: Steve and Bucky remember these two fellas they met several lifetimes ago. Remembering is a tricky business, though.

I always thought Gondorff and Hooker could've done a job in Brooklyn at some point and met Steve and Bucky, so I wrote it. Also, Robert Redford played Alexander Pierce, and that is very important to me. Also, I've been sad, so what the heck. Let me know what you think!

Idk if these are any good but these are some sketches I did of Johnny Hooker from The Sting.

I really don't like the one on the top left. there are a lots of pencil marks that won't erase which is why his face looks kinda weird.

The reference picture I used for the top right was so dark, I could barely see his legs so I kinda had to guess.

I'll probably change some stuff and repost this later if I find something I don't like

My new favourite thing is finding pictures of characters in suits (or something like suits) so they can be the Bugs Bunny meme

bonus:

Volta (Come back) Que o caminho dessa dor me atravessa (The path of this pain pierces me) Que a vida não mais me interessa (Life no longer interests me) Se você vai viver com um outro rapaz (If you're going to live with another guy) Volta (Come back) Que eu perdoo teus caminhos, teus vícios (And I'll forgive your ways, your vices) Que eu volto até o início (And I'll go back to the beginning) Te carregando mais uma vez de volta do bar (Once again carrying you back from the bar) Volta (Come back) Que sem você eu já não posso viver (Because without you I can no longer live) É impossível ter de escolher (It is impossible to have to chose) Entre teu cheiro e nada mais (Between your scent and nothing else) Volta (Come back) Me diz que o nosso amor não é uma mentira (Tell my our love is not a lie) E que você ainda precisa (And that you still need) Mais uma vez se desculpar (To once again apologize) Então procurei (And so I searched) Nos bares da aurora me lamentei (In dawn's bars I lamented) E confesso que talvez joguei (And I confess that maybe I threw) Tuas fotos e discos no mar (Your photos and discs into the sea) Então procurei (And so I searched) Pelo teu cheiro nas ruas que andei (For your smell in the streets I walked) Nos corpos dos homens que amei (In the bodies of the men I loved) Tentando em vão te encontrar (Trying in vain to find you)

While I'm reblogging gif sets of Paul Newman looking pretty, here's something I did in 2021 for one of the previous year's Yuletide stories that I really enjoyed.

If you like The Sting, you should absolutely go read it: Rest Cure by Dorinda (also a general author rec as the author writes so richly and beautifully)

I'd been having fun doing a run of book covers for some of my favorite stories. I based the layout roughly on a vintage 1930s issue of Cosmopolitan, and this is only a partial illustration in that I started with a photobash using a behind the scenes photo of Robert Redford in costume and a screencap of Henry looking down and then painted over the both of them, changing a few small things on Johnny (opening his eyes and having him look in another direction), and repainting Henry's portrait entirely, but leaving his coat pretty much the same. The timelapse was posted to my twitter ages ago if you're curious what that looks like.

I don’t usually post artwork here, but I’m feeling pretty good about this one. 

The idea of putting KKSS characters in The Sting is too good with the previous Saturday Evening Post redraws with the cast for the season one DVDs.

Steven A. Starphase as Johnny Hooker & Daniel Law as Henry Gondorff from the 1973 classic film about con artists in Depression Era Chicago.

Te dei meu amor. Que pena pra você foi só uma foda e acabou. Perdeu meu prazer. Mereço muito mais do que cê pode oferecer.
