CW FLASHING IN THE VIDEO (3rd from the bottom)

This is it. 3 months in the works, the comic (and video) are finally done.

A little over a year ago, I uploaded the first work in Revenant AU, Ghost's origin comic. I never thought I'd write a whole series for this, but I'm so glad I did. I got a whole new hobby out of it, haha.

I already began working on part 2, but this for me marks the start of it. I'm really excited to get back into this world!

Under the cut there are some comments on the comic I thought some people might be interested in (don't wanna make this post longer than it already is lol). I will upload the frames from the video separately, with comments on it there.

Bottom line is, thank you for letting me just go wild with this :)

Okay, I'm mostly gonna talk about the part where Fate shows Makarov the 141+Farah. Makarov doesn't see the Fate of people as literal images, he often has to interpret odd symbolism in the flashes he gets from the Weave of Fate.

I decided to go for a style I saw in a collection of calling cards in MW3, mainly from this one:

You can really see it in the faces and pitch-black cel shading.

I'll be going in order of appearance, starting with Farah.

Obviously, each of the "flashes" shows the Reaping of each person, Farah being crushed under rubble. Behind her is a helo of green gas, which symbolizes the Russian experimental gas. The motifs around her are more interesting imo - they're taken from the Urzik flag (and yeah apparently it's "Urzik" and not "Urzikstani"... according to the wiki at least). Wings, plants (feels to me like a pomegranate and some sort of crop, but I couldn't find what it is specifically), and a moon, upside down.

I'm skipping ahead a bit, but I've had the idea to make a drawing of Gaz in the Hanged Man pose since I started the AU basically. I tried sketching it once, and it went bad so I gave up lol. But I decided to come back to that here, and add some sort of tarot connection to all of them. I know practically nothing about tarot, googled the meanings of each, they fit well enough, I called it a day lol.

So Farah is the Moon, upside down.

Price is next, showing him taking control of the brain of someone. I didn't use the flag of the UK for the 141 (it'd be kinda boring...), instead I took the Taskforce 141 logo, and broke it down to different elements.

I took the laurels for Price, both framing his illustration and sitting above his head like a crown. I decided he will be the Emperor.

Next up is Gaz, the Hanged Man of course. Gaz gets both the wings and the stars (I changed mine to 4-pointed because... I like them better). Pretty clear why, both symbols relate to the sky. The illustrations kinda follow a rough day cycle, if that makes sense. Farah being night, with the moon. Price with his golden and purple color palette, twilight. Gaz being sunrise, and Ghost and Soap, day. This is why Gaz has a sun behind him.

Ghost was fun because he's the only inhuman one out of the group. I'll let you think what that implies, that even in Fate's Weave, Ghost is an outlier... Ghost gets the skull, and the card "Death". That one was easy, but what I did add is blood flowing down the skulls, like tear tracks...

Soap, the problem child, gave me the most issues as always. For once, it wasn't his fucking face, it was the flames behind him, and overall contrast and readability issues. Soap's illustration is probably packed with the most "hidden" details, though they're obvious if you've read the fic and Konchar's side story. The headless man behind Soap is Konchar himself, holding 4 chains with dog tags on them. The 4 soldiers from Soap's squad, who he killed before Soap was Reaped. Soap's pose is from the moment he came to his senses, after getting shot in the head and destroying a large part of Verdansk. He has 4 swords, pointing at him and downwards, so his card is 4 of Swords, upside down.

Between Soap and Ghost is a circle and a triangle. I'll explain that in the post concerning the video, since that's where I got that from.

If you read all of this, thank you so much! There will be another post for you to read in a moment lol

Gaz and Alex 100% are the the type of people to smack each others asses just for the hell of it. Alex walks by a bit too fast and Gaz is twisting his hips away so he doesn’t get his second best asset bruised AGAIN. Farah is both sick of it and highly amused.

She walks into a room and finds Alex with his back pressed to the wall while Gaz leans against the opposite wall, casually scrolling on his phone. She looks between the two of them, sighs and then walks back out.

The next time she walks past the room, she hears a faint yelp. She knows that Gaz is victorious.

Price is tired of Nikolai's shit... and shirt

[manglechanbluh]

They were having a moment

[shadow0-1]

What will you do when you become the monster you sought to destroy?

[kina404]

The way that alex makes it a point to pronounce farah's name correctly does things to me

[gothghostiie]

Could you do a list of who you think from cod (your selection) would be eating puthay sniper style on the stomach or over the edge kneeling? Love your work but I don’t want to like all of it and be annoying 🥰

thank you!! ans don't worry about being annoying - in fact i encourage you to even reblog, especially with little comments!! (not forced of course, but its super appreciated 🫶🏻)

okay so. definitely Keegan. you know that man fucks nasty and eats pussy like no tomorrow.

alejandro does it too, but hes happy to just throw you around into any position.

horangi might also do it - not his favourite but kneeling in front of the bed and eating you out has its perks

rudy also does it laying on his belly, that man eats pussy like he gets paid for it

alex eats pussy any day, any way. but on his belly, able to bury his face?? sign him the fuck up

also not a man but farah 100% does it too.

[ask-farah-karim]

Alex

His eyes are blue, yes.

Is that all you meant to say?

[klaart]

Ghost and Farah are each other’s sticker dealers🤝🤭

[mactavishenjoyer]

Price:"so my wife-"

Farah:"WIFE?"

Price:"yeah???"

Farah:"you're not out yet?"

Price:"you thought I was gay?"

Farah:"no, I know you're gay."

Price:

Farah:"is she like a lesbian and is it like a fake marriage?"

Price:"she's a lesbian..."

Farah:"I KNEW IT!"

[reds-skull]

Been thinking about Farah a lot lately...

[laswells-ashtray]

Just read the farah/alex/gaz blurb. How to they dote on Alex, pleaspleasepleaseplease

Alex is the pretty princess that Farah and Gaz spend their days adoring shamelessly and it fucks with his head.

The relationship is equal, they all care about each other more than words can describe but Gaz and Farah get a sick sense of amusement out of worshipping Alex because of how he reacts.

Farah likes to sit and watch him when he's doing everyday activities. She'll sit with her head in her hands as she stares at him and when he notices he'll offer her a little wave before he goes back to what he's doing. But the longer she stares, the harder he finds it to look at her. He gets unreasonably flustered and eventually has to excuse himself to go smoke.

Gaz likes causally touching him. Alex could be making himself a bowl of cereal and Gaz will stand behind him, hands trailing up and down his ribs. If Alex sits next to him then he's drawing fingers over his thighs absentmindedly. If they all lie down to watch a movie together then Gaz will run his hands through Alex's hair until he looks down to find the other man asleep. Alex can't help but think that one is deliberate because he mutters to himself during movies and Gaz knows playing with his hair makes him sleepy so the Brit is probably just trying to shut him up.

As much as Farah is an early riser, if all three of them are in bed and Alex tries to get up then they'll team up and pull him back into the pile of limbs and body heat. It's torturously hard to resist.

That's not to say they don't all get pampered. Alex and Gaz have perfected the art of pampering Farah. Face masks, half-decent at-home manicures, massages with high-quality massage oils and on the rare occasions she asks, washing her hair for her. The last one is an experience that they both treasure, Farah is half sure they get more joy out of it than she does.

For Gaz, they'll watch movies with him for the day and whenever he's hungry Farah or Alex will cook for the three of him. The day is all about what he wants, what he wants to watch, what he wants to eat and if he does want to get up and do something then it's whatever he wants to do.

Random character musings tonight,,

Can be read as romantic or platonic most were not intended as one or the other.

tw // implied s/a with Ghosts

Farah, who trusts Alex enough to put down her strength. Not drop it, or lose it. To simply, put it down for a while, let it, and herself rest. To hang it up with her coat at the door and join him for a warm breakfast.

She's protected herself, relied on nobody but herself for so long. A second pair of hands is unwelcome at first. Slowly, but surely, she learns that it wasn't about her having to stop taking care of herself, but more, allowing someone else to help as well. It didn't have to be one or the other, the two can coexist, just as she and Alex do.

Alex, who suffers through spells of phantom pains so intense they leave him a shell of the soldier he always is. Clutching at what was once there, whimpering and crying like a wounded animal. Unable to move from wherever he had been when it started, if he was lucky, in bed or the couch, where he was alone. Where it didn't matter if he was weak. If he wasn't lucky, a more populated area like the common room or training center, where he would have to ignoring the agony spreading through him with his usual grin, excusing himself as soon as he could under whatever excuse he could muster up.

He isn't used to stopping, or slowing down. He hates not being of use. He bites back another sob as Farah strokes his hair, muttering to him that the pain will pass eventually. That he doesn't need to be of use, that not every day can be spectacular and productive. That sometimes one days achievement can just be making it to the next.

Alejandro, who's haunted by nothing more than the thought of losing Rudy. Ever since saving him from the fire, the realization that the man he's known all these years was not invincible hit him harder than any injury he's ever received. Sure, it was a stupid realization, but he had never in his life come so close to loosing him until then.

He's all over Rudy the moment he's dispatched from medical. Careful hands avoiding every bandage and burn on the other man. Whispering apology after apology for his foolishness, for not going into the house with him, for not realizing until now how much he needed Rudy. The ever brave Colonel Vagas, crumbling under the weight of every bit of grief he's ever experienced at just the thought of burying his second in command.

Ghost, who's terrified beyond his own capacity of physical intimacy, physical touch in general. Every lingering hand brings back unwanted memories of unwanted hands against his skin, every accidental graze against him sends him spiraling. He covers himself head to toe to protect himself, mentally. Turtlenecks, long sleeves, long pants, gloves, even during the dead of summer.

He knows good and well that skin against his own will bring out panic. He'll never forgive himself for the time Soap pat him on the back, the slight brush against his, at the time, exposed neck threw him off his feet, within seconds he had elbowed Soap in the nose before he even realized who he was. He wonders what he did to deserve someone so patient, Soap hadn't ever held the moment against him, even when he had to wear a face cast for weeks.
