Me watching the end of the pilot

Me watching the dS finale

Yeah he does, shut up Bob you didn't even hug your son at the end there WOW (derogatory). Where's that man's cathartic cry HUH?

And sorry Bob he gets two of everything, including Canadian dad and Chicago dad because that's what he deserves!

Ray gets distracted by the brown uniform.

So far I only saw it once in S3. And me and some folks over on discord really appreciate the brown uniform so this popped into my mind.

Finally.

This is the first dS fanart that I ever started, back in October 2020, only I never got further than putting together the reference pics for the guys; the thing is, I wanted Diefenbaker in the pic, too, sitting in front of Ray, whining and eager to lick his face, but I couldn't find a good enough reference pic for him (the working title was "You too, furface"). Annoyed, I moved on to something where I could include Dief and later used this Fraser face in another work ("The Road Back Home Again"). I'm not keen on using the same reference pics more than once, but I decided not to mind it this time - this was the only piece in my WIP folder that I thought I could finish in one evening and turn into a Flower Crown Day thing by sketching a cactus in bloom in the background.

Thankfully this did turn out to be an easy one-hour paintover job, and maybe the cactus is thematically appropriate in more ways than one - sometimes it takes time for things to bloom.

30 Years of Red Ships and Green Ships

Celebrating 30 years of Due South.

30 years of Fraser and Ray K (not yet but soon…). Also Dief’s great-great-grandaughter.

I missed the @ds30below ‘s fanart week; posting these a bit/too late but I hope it’s ok.

Charcoal pencil drawings on paper + a few digitally added effects

ALSO ON AO3 - onnakarot

I had to do one more embroiderini of the boys so I could do this quote, which I adore. ‘Due South’ is- without a doubt- in my top five greatest shows of all time.

Reaction post to this one because it's been driving me crazy the entire day 😅

I see a totally different thing.

Ray and Fraser are so perfectly in sync that Fraser doesn't even have to chew it all out for Ray because Ray understands Fraser on a much deeper level. Their partnership goes beyond words.

Ray knows Fraser is shaken up (he tells Welsh and Welsh trusts that Ray knows what's going on with Fraser) and that he's working on things on a deeper layer than this case.

Ray hasn't even met Victoria but he knows Scarpa is not to be trusted. She's manipulative and she's playing games with Fraser. He just doesn't know that Fraser sees through it. Even though Fraser keeps telling him.

But Fraser also knows he has this one chance to finally show himself that he is not going to fall for something like this again. Maybe even that he can open up and love.

That he is capable of doing this and not losing himself in the process again. He's learning to bluff.

And he has to do this part alone. Because the other time, it was taken from him by a bullet in the back.

So let me present you the way I see it. Fraser completely trusting Ray to have his back.

Ray being an absolute hero. There was never any doubt in Fraser's mind that Ray would get it, get him.

3x01 Burning Down the House | Continuous

THIS IS ALL ONE SHOT!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS ALL. ONE SHOT.

A nearly two-minute walk and talk in the precinct set with NO CUTS. For TWO MINUTES.

This is TWO FULL YEARS before The West Wing, which popularized the long hallway single shot walk and talk.

Genuinely hard to convey how difficult a shot like this is to choreograph with so many different moving pieces. As one continuous take this shot is WILD. It means everything—including the push in to Ray and Elaine, the pull back out to include Fraser stepping precisely back into frame, the ACTUAL LIVE DOG, the walk into the bullpen with all the extras cutting in front of camera, the gag with the ink—all of that is in ONE GO, NO FUCK UPS.

INCLUDING!! One of the best pieces of acting in the ENTIRE SERIES right here:

THE love at first sight moment. In the MIDDLE of all this.

My favourite thing about this is imagining Gordon Pinsent standing patiently in the bullpen waiting for his moment for the 45 times it took to get the first ninety seconds of this shot clean.

Oh I will never be done being obsessed with this show. The level of stagecraft involved here alone is insane. Paul Gross the man you are,

Happy 27th birthday today, Burning Down the House (Sept. 14, 1997)!! You are still iconic🇨🇦🍁

Let's pretend the Rays are in the basement of an all girls school again okay

Bonus:

Old men photos were shared in the Discord a few days ago and now my hand slipped so have some old men Fraser and Kowalski.

A sketchy lil pre-Valentine's Day thing (no reference pics used, therefore no faces in sight lol) in the interest of making more not-sad Fraser posts, as per @syrupmap's wishes.

Also, I've had emotions about @hangrybookdragon's brilliant F/K vid to a song called "Francesca" (no, it has nothing to do with Frannie).

"If I could hold you for a minute..."

(Ah, those two idiots are so touch-starved, they just need to hold each other. And sniff each other. Maybe gently bite each other, too.)
