I'm starting the new year with old art. Traditional mixed media. Probably the most realistic portrait I've ever made. Looking back, I realize that I no longer have the strength and motivation to repeat something like this. But this drawing is my personal pride.
And the original

I am so tired of seeing arguments against J/C, saying that Kate never wanted them together on Voyager because it would blah blah blah. Guess what? We are in agreement and we understand why it was necessary, especially when you consider the context of the time when the show was made. We fully support why it had to be done that way back then.
But times change; narratives and characters evolve, and views and perceptions shift. If anything, Voyager's inability to ever have two adult characters discuss their feelings ended up falling into another trap - they had Chakotay go after the 'prettier and younger' girl. You know what kind of message that sent to girls and women? You can have the most profound relationship in the universe with someone, yet he will still pick the prettier girl over you, even if they have nothing in common.
Prodigy had the perfect opportunity to subvert expectations by making them canon because, in retrospect, the 'will they, won't they' dynamic was predictable.
It was stated multiple times that they were afraid it would completely take over the show, but I don’t see almost anyone mentioning that this is exactly what happened with Wesley. Every podcast I listen to spends 50% of the time talking about Wesley, while the main Protostar crew is hardly ever discussed. J/C is also mentioned in passing. It all became about Wesley. In trying so hard to avoid falling into the imaginary J/C trap, they ended up in a much worse one, where all any Trek fan wants to talk about isn’t the Protostar kids or J/C, but Wesley and Wil Wheaton.
 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
#janeway x chakotay#star trek voyager#star trek prodigy#I have yet to find a podcast where they talk about Zero's transformation#Or about Rok's creation aka Bribble and what this meant for her#Or Jankom in general. No one EVER mentions Jankom as if he isn't part of the main crew#Janeway and Chakotay have a direct connection to the Protostar kids so when you talk JC you also talk about the kids#Like why does Murf love Chakotay so much#Foreshadowing Dal and Chakotay's friendship in the Who saves the Saviours episode#Why Chakotay trusted and wanted the Protostar kids on the Protostar with him when Ascencia attacked#And how Dal went to first race and then pilot the Novas and how that foreshadows his interest in piloting when he decides he won't be capta#Wes and kids are connected only by the plot and him being the original Prodigy#But he has no effect on their development other than telling them what to do and where to go#He is a plot device#the evolved deus ex machina#No discussions about Ascencia or Ilthuran#Literally half of the time is dedicated to Wes and timetravel and how he's connected to it#Maybe they see the talk about Wes more mature and more worth having than talking about the silly JC romantic connection#which is just anti fem cause women like to talk relationships#and making fun of them for wanting to do so is a can of worms y'all are not ready to open#don't booo me you know I'm right#women are always being made fun of for their interest in relationships. Take Ellie from trek culture as an example#especially if you've listened to their podcasts which were yikes on bikes in some moments#but she's handling it like a champ and doesn't let the dudebros stop her from discussing her interests

Not exactly canon within Claire's lore. I just had a dream and got inspired. My ass demanded some self indulgence.

What was your favorite 'Mech in MW4?
Overall: Mad Cat MK I.
Light: Cougar.
Medium: Shadow Cat.
Heavy: Well, the Mad Cat MK I, unsurprisingly =P But because that was hard to get my hands on during missions... The Vulture or the Nova Cat, whatever popped up first. ... The Vulture, I think.
Assault: I kind of didn't need them tbh? But in terms of my lance? Daishi.
What you need to understand here is that I played with Zero Heat and Invulnerability on because of substantial medical issues made playing a lot harder than my brain could handle, given I started playing before my life had acquired double digits.
So, bringing a Heavy to an Assault fight never really hampered me. All with zero heat sinks, maxed out on weapons and armour, and all my other tonnage put into speed.
... Actually, it's just occurred to me that there are two Mechwarrior 4 games. So that ^ is for Mech 4: Vengeance.
Mercenaries?
Overall: Same. Despite the fact that it took me until this year, and following you to realise that the missile pods are reminiscent of cat ears, I *adored* my Mad Cat MK I. Always will.
Light: Wolfhound.
Medium: Shadow Cat.
Heavy: Nova Cat.
Assault: Mad Cat MK II. I found the speed and versatility more useful in this one than in Vengeance.
... Damn it I wish I still had a way to play these games now.

Today I had the FUNNIEST story idea, as in new scenes to add to the outline.
What I had already:
My two dudes are in a remote location (long story) and find some old ass honey (probably milennia old don't remember exactly how much). They eat some (after stuff happens), and... get high.
Because it was hallucinogenic honey. They get so high one of them legit meets a god. A god who herds their souls back into their bodies. Only ONE of my dudes remembers that incident. This is relevant because...
NEW FUNNY IDEA:
My two dudes plus a friend of theirs ends up in the same location, AND friend is injured (looong story, involves magic stuff and a bear mauling at some point). And, well, honey can be a disinfectant.
So, the dude who forgot what happened last time, decides to use the hallucinogenic millennia-old honey on friend's injuries. Other dude notices too late what's happened.
Fucking GUESS what happens AGAIN.
WOOOPS

@moonillustrations made my artbook dreams come true by skillfully adding The Art of Deus Ex's layout on my OC and I've been staring at this since yesterday. Might print it. I'm a happy child.
Here's a bit of lore you might need to know about Iris. 💜💜💜

OC Introduction: Sloane Delacourt
Fandom: Deus Ex
Role: Foil, Mirror, Romantic Partner
BASICS
Full Name: Athénaïs Sloane Delacourt
Preferred Name: Sloane
Nickname(s): Peril, Princess (only Adam calls her that one)
Pronouns: She/Her
Sexuality: Bisexual
Occupation and Titles:  Previously: Staff Sergeant Sloane Delacourt, United States Army, 10th Special Forces Group, 1st Battalion, Alpha Company, Operational Detachment Alpha 0113 (aka the "Wild Boys"). Now: Independent do-gooder (don't you dare call her a mercenary or she will hurt you).
Birthday & Age:  34. DOB December 7, 1995.
Physical description: Sloane is 5'11", broad-shouldered and athletic, with auburn-copper hair and grey eyes (artificial). She has shrapnel scars along the right cheek and up through the eye; high cheekbones and a strong jaw. Both arms and legs have been replaced with high-end Sarif augmentations. (Faceclaim: Jessica Chastain)
Clothing style: She is half-French, and therefore she knows exactly what to wear at any given occasion. She just tends to prefer the kind of occasions where it's best to wear a t-shirt that says "Once You Have Pulled the Pin from Mr. Grenade, He Is No Longer Your Friend".
BACKGROUND
Daughter of David Sarif and Violette Delacourt, she was conceived as a failed attempt on Violette's part to get David to play ball with the Illuminati. When that didn't pan out, Violette tried to raise Sloane as her heir apparent. Instead, Sloane did the thing she knew would piss off her mother the most: she enlisted in the Army. Her test scores were high enough that she was shunted right into the Special Forces pipeline (which had just opened up to women). After training as a Special Forces medic, she was assigned to ODA-113, who became known over the next decade for their expertise in shutting down rogue biowarfare labs.
They were so good at their job, in fact, that the Illuminati used one of their "private contractor" contacts to crash their plane on an op a month before the events of Human Revolution, leaving her critically injured.
At the time of the opening of Odysseus Gambit, Sloane has been augmented with a special set of augs (built and secretly provided by her father) and is absolutely chewing the walls in her enforced retirement…
COMBAT & SKILLS
Preferred fighting style: Close-combat with pistols, shotguns, or knives. She'll fall back on martial arts if she has to, and she's a decent marksman with a rifle, but she likes to get right into the fray.
Favorite weapon(s): A Jaeger & Ritter Knight Tactical Compact Pistol in .45 ACP, initially; later a 10mm Aspid.
Special skills: She can patch someone up with chewing gum and duct tape while laying down a wall of lead.
RELATIONSHIPS
Family: David Sarif (father: estranged through her childhood, now trying to have a real relationship with her); Violette Delacourt (mother: a high-ranking member of the Illuminati currently believed dead)
Love interest: Adam Jensen. (Just don't tell her that. She's... still figuring it out.)
Best friends: Stefan and Hantz Gerber, Strickland Hall, Aria Argento and Eliza.
PERSONALITY
Positive traits: Brave, Protective, Compassionate, Smart
Negative traits: Impulsive, Arrogant, Angry, Stubborn
Likes: Dancing, Parkour, Extreme Sports, Killing Bad Guys
Dislikes: Bigots, Terrorists, Bioweaponeers, and Idiots in general
Fears: Falling in love
Guilty Pleasure: Letting Adam cuddle her.
Hobbies: Dancing, cooking, eating what she cooks, killing people that seriously need killing

For f/ovember : [ROSE] :3c
Tumblr media
[ROSE]: Just tell us your favorite things about S/I
I think I like how she expresses her feelings in the most unthinkable ways, it's always a new surprise when it comes from her. Except the mistletoe thing, we do that since we met for the first time. *lipsmacks* Don't tell her I stand under the mistletoe on purpose, please. I secretly like her smooches.
(Showing my new pfp btw, I am so happy heheeeeeee)
