#Ricky Brown

[doink-boink]

Finally made a reference for my self insert!!

Must clarify that although he is very similar to me, that he also IS NOT exactly the same as me lol, I promise you I wouldn't work with a woman who turned live animals into fashion accessories

Rambles under the cut!

After I saw @novazentryx's self insert I thought it would be fun to make my own!! And thus this goober was spawned

Ricky mostly keeps to himself, working with Donita because he likes the challenge! Though Donita's designs are mostly her own, Ricky is the guy that offers some quick pitches - providing concepts and sketches that she can then work off of (assuming she even LIKES what he has to offer)

Occasionally she sends him out into the wild for inspiration, hoping he'll find something of interest. I feel like this is where he would run into the Kratt crew, maybe watching from afar like "What the hell are these guys doing??" While sketching

Also introduction of a very one-sided crush lol, no idea if I will actually do anything with this in a potential story if this goes further beyond "haha it's silly!!" I think it would be funny to put him and Aviva in situations

One of the major issues with Ricky being in the wild/nature is how clumsy and skittish he can be, loud noise? BYE BYE!! Running off to safety. If something WERE to actually put him in harm's way, Donita has supplied him with his own posebeam! Though, he never really uses it.

Far from being a henchman, more of an assistant/'intern'. Took up the job because of his mild interest in animals, not realizing that Donita uses them for her own gain until way too late. Money is too good to leave, as well as concerned that he may be blacklisted if he works up the courage to split from her company.

Putting these here because I am not sure how to introduce it in a way that flows properly, but Ricky is a trans man! As am I lol, it only makes sense considering he is you know. My self insert! He also is a huge nerd with a weird sense of fashion. Mostly modest, but oh man! Those weird 70s tacky outfits? Plenty of em. In fact, here's my Pinterest board for him if you are interested! Full of inspo for him!

Okay that's all I've really got. Thinking of MAYBE exploring an avenue where he ends up becoming friends with the Kratt crew, but am not too sure on that. Maybe an AU of an AU lol

Thank you for reading if you did!! Hopefully college ending for me means MORE art, I've been too burnt out to commit to any real project.

It had been a long time coming, Beatrice thought.

The last time she'd been in this position, she'd been very stressed and emotionally wrought, but now, now everything was perfect. She and Benedict were getting married on their terms and nobody was bossing them around. Their acquaintances were now dear friends and the home they lived in would soon have the sounds of growing children laughing and running about.

good morning to boys who shot their tits off, divorced cat ladies, the hottest man in new york city, 70 year old broadway stars, the reason the bus is never on time, and large rats in the sewers

[unhauntng]

the first iteration of the dream team is so funny.

imagine youre a regular new yorker and you’re being attacked by santas or bugs or devils at an art show and things are weird but you also can’t quite tell what’s actually happening (got to love umbral arcana) ? but you’re scared out of your mind until a drunk lady punches the scary monster in the face and the guy who’s clearly a drug dealer starts blasting fire out of his hands?? maybe he’s got a lighter and some hairspray, though he’s also holding a gun? and then a very nice and serious older guy is keeping everything calm and encouraging his friends and you think everything is going to be okay, especially because this nice sweet firefighter is making sure everyone’s safe. and you think he looks like mr march from the calendar!

then a massive rat man summons some crocodiles or a pack of rats or a cockroach that is unusually juicy and then broadway legend misty moore literally insults a monster to death whilst indiscriminately flirting with her friends.

and when it’s all over they’re acting like this is business as usual. and maybe you’re confused for like three minutes until you remember this is new york — who else would save you but a broadway star, a rat, a firefighter, a drug dealer, an alcoholic and kingston brown from uptown who helped you jumpstart your car three months ago

This is bad. Santa's fucked. We're fucked.

the gang’s all here!!

Ok first off, Ricky Brown is very bonita! My question is, what is his opinions on the other villains and the WK crew?👀🙏

Ooo!! Putting what I have to say under the cut, this got so very long

I feel like he is intrigued by the other villains! They do not really interact very often unless the circumstances call for it! - Dabio is her henchman, so he doesn't really need to go with her anywhere.

Though, Ricky likely would show up for appearances at her fashion shows! "Haha I had a hand in making this!" <- while also trying to stick to the sidelines.

Connecting with @novazentryx's self insert, Ricky is closer with the OTHER assistants than he is with the villains themselves! They absolutely know of and have seen him, just not as frequently.

I think the villains who'd see him the least are Paisley and Gourmand - not much for him to do with them other than stand around awkwardly lol. It would be like a "Teen Titans AND BUMBLEBEE!" Situation

Regarding the Kratt Crew, I feel like he likes them! obviously he likes Aviva lol

Ricky mostly works for Donita because she pays well and due to the creative freedom, but generally dislikes the mistreatment of animals. That separation from the act itself is what keeps him there, but given a significantly better opportunity I feel he would take it in a heartbeat. Not to say he does not like Donita! He simply does not like her animal cruelty.

Because of this, Ricky may feel more drawn to the WK crew! "Wow, I feel sort of bad for causing this..." - though he probably wouldn't seek their assistance outright. I would suggest that he could be a whistleblower, but that would ALSO put him out of work. Still a lot for me to think on here about his character!

Out of the crew members themselves, I feel like he would get along really well with Jimmy! That ginger solidarity <- JOKE LOL, but they probably would have a lot in common depending on just how much of myself I put into Ricky!

The Kratt bros would absolutely intimidate him <3 They seem like they'd be very over stimulating at all times

He would more than likely get along with Koki!! I do not see any reason why they wouldn't other than limited tech knowledge on his behalf, but the same would ALSO go for Aviva!

More on Aviva, since he is my self insert this is the biggest projection LOL - He would definitely get along well with her! They both are easily excitable and a little snarky at times. It's hard to describe exactly what he would like about her because it's weird thinking about it! It's from my AND HIS perspective, so putting thoughts into proper words is ultra complicated.

But uh! TLDR regarding Aviva: He thinks she is very silly! They would definitely jive well and bounce ideas off of each other.

This got so very long!! Apologies if it didn't make a whole lot of sense; Ricky is very much still a work in progress as a character! There's so much I've yet to actually figure out about him, especially regarding how much of a disconnect I want there to be between him and myself!

I also am very on the fence if I actually WANT or DO selfship with Aviva! A lot of wackiness going on there that I have yet to comprehend lol

Death stood over him, imposing and utterly terrifying.

He was silent for a long moment before he tilted his head to the side and discarded his scythe Benedict flinched, his heart still in his throat as the immortal offered him a chance to save Sophie.

Chose which hand I put her life in, was the eerie and silent question.

Benedict prided himself on being quite a logical sim and observant. But he knew he was shaking with fear of Sophie dying, and he chose the hand...

...that didn't have her life in it.

"NOOO!" he howled in despair.

I gave you a chance and you failed, came the taunt of Death. Deciding that he'd been here long enough, he turned and sent Sophie's soul to the spirit world, leaving her urn behind.

Yo, what is with the Bad Boys having beef with the Dream Team Boys?? First Fabian and Pete, now Gorgug and Cody? I honestly don't know what Riz and Ricky and/or Kingston could scrap about, but it's weird that this has happened twice!

So something I'm loving about the unsleeping city so far is the commitment to being kind? Like I don't know if it's intentional but from the very first episode onwards we meet people like Kingston, whose whole aim is that he protects the city. He's there for his people, his neighbourhood, his community, he's giving himself to help them. He's a nurse- a healer- he knows everyone and everyone knows him. Kugrash, who lurks in subway tunnels and sewers, watching over subway workers and giving warmth and shelter and food to those who don't have it. Who makes little plastic shoes for a drunkard in an alleyway. And Ricky, whose only desire is to keep people safe, to use his skills to fight danger on their behalf, to interpose himself in harm's way. Even though it's not as evident in the others, it's still there. Sofia addresses a bachelorette party after her husband leaves her not to mock them or discourage them- but to wish the bride-to-be happiness and joy. Pete (though again, not as obvious, especially at first) takes his ex, who was actively trying to hurt him at the time, in his arms and carries her to safety. And Misty, though often vain and dismissive, has nothing but kind words and compliments for her friends and compatriots. Sorry for the rant, it's just something I think is really cool, especially given the setting of new York being portrayed as somewhere where people are cold-hearted and self-centred.
