Baccano Week Day 3: Resilience and Adversity

•••

I couldn’t think of anything to draw for this day so I drew women. Lol

[esperanzacboronial]

Happy Baccano! Week!!!

Day 1: Connections, fate and coincidence

The links between people aren't cut that easily. They don't have any form, just like air, so you can't cut them even if you tried...

Hello there Maria Barcelito fans.

[neorhythm]

This was made with the original set but it didn't quite fit with the other comic. But I still wanted to try and include it somehow.

maria and tick were way cuter than i anticipated. then we have good ol' tim still holding a grudge for the ratatouille incident. despite everything he still wants tick onii-san to notice him 😔

here's a compilation of doodles i made after finishing volume 7 of Baccano! had a lot of fun drafting these up, so i went back and colored everything. Ronny is a funny guy. showing up to the function and just kicking back. thanks man. knew we could count on you.

Based on my tweet from a while back. would love to doodle again after finishing volume 8, but we'll see

❛  oh god. please tell me you haven’t just heard me talk to myself.  ❜ tsujimura for maria !

"Yep! Every last bit of it!"

Maria had been keeping pace with the woman until that moment, but here she moves quickly, standing directly in front of her on the sidewalk and obstructing her path. Though her grin doesn't reveal any ill intent, there's a gleam in her eyes that doesn't exactly match the way an ordinary person would react upon hearing about a situation like that.

"So, you're headed off to do something pretty dangerous, right? Right? Is that what I'm hearing? To 'deal with someone', right?" Her chipper tone of voice doesn't change as she asks the incredibly suspicious question, either unaware or uncaring of the consequences of asking that kind of thing to a stranger. "I'm just guessing a little randomly, but... I'm also supposed to be 'dealing with someone' right now, so it'd help if you could tell me everything you know about these people who've been causing problems over here for the past few weeks! Okay?"

'Causing problems' is a startlingly gentle way to speak about gruesome murders.

first meetings. / accepting.

“I’ll go anywhere you want.” ( for maria ! )

It's an incredibly touching sentiment, so naturally, Maria's first reaction is not to react at all.

It's not as if this would be their first time walking the Path together. However, Maria grows increasingly more aware of the fact that they've never planned to travel together before, not really---every other time, it's been circumstance and convenience. Delightful circumstance, in Maria's eyes, but still circumstance. It wasn't ever an arrangement she'd had any complaints about, not minding the abrupt meetings and departures as much as another might have in her situation.

Unfortunately, while her first instinct is to freeze, her second instinct is to continue talking as normal, which never generally yields results that actually fit the tone of these kinds of conversations, which Maria doesn't really know how to have.

"Well, it's not really about where I want to go, right?" Maria registers shortly after speaking that it sounds a little bit too hash in response to what Ciri had actually said, so she doubles back, a move which is completely unlike her. "Still, I wouldn't mind something like that. Obviously I'd never turn you away!"

atlas I. / accepting.

relevant to exactly no one but striker in his baccano au making the trip up to new york from south texas alongside maria barcelito fresh out of mexico is a really funny image and i want that to be canon to this au because i think maria would annoy the shit out of him

this might be tick jefferson and maria barcelito from baccano

kids were roleplaying with minecraft figurines and one of them had their figure go up to the other and say “i’m in love with you” and the other one replied “sword slash to the chest. and you’re on fire”

Just kidding talk about your little man

yeah sure it's laz hours!

so i'm honestly broadly fascinated by every character that falls into the general chuuni archetype laz does, but i think laz specifically is a character who really stands out to me because he's someone who actually ... does something about the vision he has of himself.

first of all, i love me a good contradiction, so the concept of a hitman who's never killed anyone is extremely compelling to my personal tastes. but more importantly, i'd like to set two specific facts about his situation at odds with eachother; laz knows he's not morally capable of killing, but he still takes work as a hitman anyway. he's actively taking a job and trying to make a name for himself knowing full well the sorts of setbacks he faces in opposition to his competitors.

it's definitely just that way for the bit, but i'm the kind of person who doesn't really do anything with my life even when i know there are things i AM good at, so i'm fascinated by the general determination laz has to his dream and his image. and, on top of that, laz IS actually good at every part of his job that doesn't involve killing. he's not a slouch in a fight, holding his own against the likes of maria barcelito, and he's a generally intimidating presence to those who don't know him outside of the job!

so the reason he's a failed hitman isn't because of a lack of skill or dedication, it really IS just because of his inability to actually take the kill-shot.

it's very rare in baccano! for a character to fall into the boxes of "wild archetype" and "morally opposed to killing" at the same time (graham and post-slash christopher are the only others i can think of off the top of my head). not only that, but laz's bleeding heart actually goes further than just not killing people, since he takes mark wilmans in with little to no hesitation about it.

anyway, he's a comedic character to the narrative but kind of a bittersweet one to me. there's something a little tragic about a guy who does everything he can to put himself into his ideal lifestyle even knowing he lacks the one fundamental thing to make that lifestyle even a little plausible for him, no matter how many other skills he has to back himself up with.

post over. you guys are free now. hahaha
