woe.begone??? woe.begone!!!

some character design doodles!

random design thought processes below

(includes vague allusions to spoilery things)

- i originally sketched/worked out a lot of these when i was listening to w.bg for the first time in like, may-june so

choices may not reflect more recent descriptions/changes to characters

-the characters here are entirely based off of the sketches i liked from my original batch, i did have like, the hunters and other characters, but i didn’t have a clear enough image in my mind for what they look like

-so like, in my mind early on, i somehow got it in my head that OVER Tier 1 security guards wear green and kind of look like park/forest rangers

i don’t have any clue why, but it’s stuck

edgar gets a lab coat cause it’s fun

edgar also has long hair here, but i imagine him with diff hair lengths in different seasons of the show

- the mikes are all very man standing emoji in the lineup, but i thought it was funny so i didn’t fix it

- sly gets a leather jacket and gloves cause he’s a biker!

- my reasoning for outlaw being just a ty betteridge in a cowboy hat, is that he has on multiple occasions snuck into the compound and done things that would imply the only thing that would separate him from the rest is his hat, and his accent

and i think it’s funny

maybe he wears more cowboy stuff in texas, and wears the suit to infiltrate the compound

this season is turning my healthy distrust into an unhealthy one

I’m currently rereading all the available chapters of @felixcosm ‘s what it means to claim my body fic because I’m completely obsessed with it.

Every time I reread it I find something new to appreciate about it.

In this read I’m admiring the way Felix has written MW. It feels very balanced and true to the MW we see in canon. Just trying to step up and protect his iterations and calling out the childish behavior around him. That sweet cowbaby. 💕

Thinking About MW

[felixcosm]

today's episode of memes i forgot i made

[teknikolor-walters]

Oh another Base headcanon!! Mikey really wanted them all to start a band together, but most people said no because they didn't want to devote themselves to a big project outside of Base activities and work.

However, they did let Mikey turn them into an unofficial band, and sometimes you can find Mikey, Chance, Shadow, Matt, Jam, Charlie and even Michael and/or Emdubya all hanging out together, playing music on their instruments and singing songs.

They dont really perform for anyone other than maybe Edgar and Anne, but it's a little bonding session they all look forward to and it's times like these when they're just happy they met each other and can chill out between their hectic lives <3

ty betteridge has no business turning his nose up at mike's little teehee jokes after that punfest.

Of Mikes and Men

Hello wanderers it's time for a very late #AudioDramaSunday post! Starting off with @hinaypod which i am continuing my listen through and I just love the way Filipino culture is weaved into every inch of the show- it makes me think of my godfather and the things he would tell me about the Philippines and even in its horror it still feels like a comforting hug from my Nino (and then the horror hits again but ya know sometimes you gotta hug the horrors its fine)

@woebegonepod pls leave my boy Emdubya alone I'm so worried for what else is coming this season especially for him. Also worried about Tex I don't trust that he's Tex. Dylan is making me too suspicious of all of my cowboys and how suspicious and unlike themselves they're acting

Super Suits came back last week!! I didn't get to listen until this week but gods did i miss this show it's so silly and so wonderful also Noah Belachew is such a fantastic voice actor I can't wait to hear more from his character

@allatseapod continues to be a perfect bite-sized bit of horror that is voiced so wonderfully by Noah Bell who i adore everyone should listen to all at sea go do it right now

@kingmakerpod also had its triumphant return this week! Loml Ariadne Culver continues to be up to her usual tricks and i love her for it also my beloved trio of criminals are still on the run from the law but it's fine they'll be fine. Colette and Telesphore's conversation RUINED ME I love them and their friendship just like I love Eisen and Colette's friendship these three hold my whole heart and I'm so glad The Kingmaker Histories is back

@thecellarletters continues to grab me with its mysteries and with Nathan Lunsford's performance as Nate's dad. I wanna know what's happening and what's the truth of what happened to Nate's dad because every time the tape changes i get a little more intrigued and a lot more concerned

This week on the @doyoucopypod we had the release of @souloperatorpod 's Inkwell Haven piece which i also happen to be in! Tot let me scream and cry and experience the horrors! She wrote a fantastic piece and yall should check it out

Also in personal news, I can officially share that I'm taking part in @/exiledrhapsody! @kit-n-kboodl has written a wonderful and super trans/neurodivergent Frankenstein and my gods yall my episode makes me weep in nonbinary yall are gonna love what kits doing he's amazing

Here on the Fringes we released episode 28 for the public and 29 for patrons over at patreon.com/pinetreepods! Episode 28 is one of my personal favorites because it marks the return of my wonderful moss friend voiced by the even more wonderful Paul Warren go check it out!

And over on @forgedbondspod I'm so close to releasing the official trailer with the actual release date in it i just need to figure out one last thing with the Fringes timeline so I can decide when in December Forged Bonds will start. This cast is doing amazing things yall!

That's all for this week! Work has been busy but I'm starting to draft out some of the ideas I have for my next show, currently called my Untitled Murder Husbands project but it will be titled eventually I promise

[ty-bayonet-betteridge]

sometimes a character will just say a line offhandedly and it redefines your entire perception of them and that's fine

[solipsistful]

thinkin' about how MW's introduction to cowboyification included Michael's diaries in which he talked about "cowboy" as this guiding force that supersedes his own identity because he has too much precedent for what it means "to be Michael". but that's not really MW's issue -- his "precedents" weren't all that different, just different road trips if they even made it that far. his identity issues, possibly worsened by the consolidations but potentially just on their own, seem more linked to being shoved into a role that he never really asked for (being part of Base).

he doesn't need to be "a cowboy first and who I was second"; he needs some way to reconcile being "himself" versus "what Base and everyone needs and expects me to be". so, not a surprise that he bristles at being shoved into any boxes, even a box as obvious as "cowboy".

there's a line in that episode where MW says "I'm still internalizing what Emdubya the cowboy does", and i think the answer he came up with came too close to giving up who he was before (and his Edgar), so he rejected it, even while he takes the pieces of it that he benefits from (being protective and quick to fire a gun, etc.)

it's also just a point of differentiation between him and Michael, and you know how much the Mikes love differentiating themselves; still, i don't think that's the whole story.
