FASTER PUSSYCAT (1985 - present) | RAW, March 1992.

[myriad--starlings]

The worst thing a person can do to you after they’ve hurt you is let you live.

That’s how you truly and unmistakably destroy another human being.

I say this with some authority on the matter. ... People will always be drawn to the idea of someone succeeding and becoming something truly glorious after they’ve been ravaged, defiled, very nearly obliterated. But I can assure you there’s nothing magnificent or outstanding about it.

It is no rare, distinguished gift to survive tragedy, disaster, misfortune. ... There’s nothing glorious or wonderful about being a survivor. Those that like to hurt other people know this for a fact. ...

I've learned if you truly want to hurt someone, let them live.

— This Skin Was Once Mine, Eric LaRoca

THE ANIMALS. (Circa 1964.)

hi can you please tell me about those two brainfused characters from the art that used "In Two" lyrics? Your ocs seem v interesting i am Intrigued

omg hiiii thank you

yes so the two characters in the in two drawing are arthur and zarian, the protagonists of my oc story, steelheart! arthur is a human, while zarian is a (conscious, autonomous) futuristic robot called a DRACO, specifically a v1 model.

i touched on it vaguely in this post, but more specifically the deal with DRACOs is this: they're supposed to be mind-controlled jet-motorcycles (that happen to look like dragons, because why not). they interface with the brain of their pilot via an implant attached to the spinal cord, which also serves as a storage compartment that the DRACO can de-materialize into for transport and charging/refueling (how? idk. sci fi future tech hand waving.) the implants look vaguely like this:

the main takeaway of this is that the DRACOs are 1) permanently connected to their pilot and 2) have like. direct access to the pilot's brain

now these things were not made with the whole 'the robots end up being self-aware and conscious' thing in mind, so being connected to an Awake one is... VERY weird. while DRACOs and pilots can't read each other's thoughts, exactly, they can communicate mentally, either by 'speaking' (like. thinking very clearly and distinctly, kind of) or just pushing abstract thoughts and emotions at each other. they're also very in tune with each other, like vaguely aware of where the other is at all times like you would be a limb, unconsciously mirroring each other, etc. aware DRACOs also 'borrow' senses that they don't have from their pilot (as in feel what the pilot feels), such as taste/smell, or sight and hearing when they're de-materialized.

so... not brainfused in the sense that two beings are now ones, but more like two beings semi-sharing a brain and even a body at times.

arthur and zarian get linked (as in, arthur gets the spinal implant) COMPLETELY by accident and have to contend with all this rather abruptly. as you can imagine, suddenly sharing your brain with a stranger (especially one who you thought was/is trying to kill you, and/or maybe possess you, because giant evil vampire robot) doesn't go over great.

but it works out, and they end up weird clingy besties! they're kind of like an opposites-attract situation where they bring out their own traits in the other. zarian is very snarky and a bit defensive, which brings out arthur's more sarcastic side and encourages him to stand up for himself. arthur, meanwhile, is a bit more emotional and playful, and helps zarian learn how to have fun and connect with others.

they're losers and they're my favorite guys ever. it's great

this picture sleeve is a psychological need 🙏

They are hinting at domestic abuse here... but also kinda downplaying it because that is just runny makeup so I'm sure that means later on we can just smooth over all of this...

📂+ Jungle Fury, Time Force and hmmm I guess any ranger(Well mainly Casey and Nate)

Casey: HE ACTUALLY DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO COOK. He can't even make coffee. If casey starts cooking, Fran brings out fire extinguishers.

But Casey is a quick learner. He does learn easily, and he DOES eventually learn to bake pizzas and do all sorts of artistry on it, learning from the one and only RJ, and experiments in all ways he can, and would custom make pizzas for customers, throwing anything and everything in the craziest combinations, catering to the customer's preferences (even more than regular pizzerias do)

And it works out so well that RJ actually puts a dish on the menu under the name of "Casey's Pizzas of Love" and these are his experimental pizzas, where no two pizzas can taste the same~

Nate: Nate secretly loves watching BL kdramas. You could sneak into his room at three in the morning, and find him curled up in his pjs with pillows, and all sorts of snacks, and binging any kdrama he can get his hands on.

He introduces Steel to the kdramas too, and uuuhhhhhh Steel picks up a lot of matchmaking tips from the kdramas, and also develops a taste for drama and... romantic things... and keeps setting Nate up with people he thinks he has a crush on~

And I’m gonna pick Wes and Eric from Time Force~

Wes and Eric: Wes loves baking, we all know that, but do you know what else we know? Eric loves eating Wes's baked goods. Eric is really conscious about his health, and wouldn't eat any junk food, generally, of course, but he just can't control himself when it comes to wes's cakes, or cookies, or cupcakes.

As a result... the time force team ends up running out of cookies every once in two days. Wes would put his choco chip cookies in the jar for the team to enjoy over the days, and the next morning, they're all gone. Nobody could understand who was eating them secretly— Eric wouldn't admit it, obviously— and the blame eventually lands up on Trip, who profusely expresses that he has had nothing to do with the cookies... follows Jen and Lucas's detective agency, trying to figure out who indeed stole the cookies........
