okok Myshka post since @corknaut and @lilspacewolfie asked
this is. very unorganized.
Myshka is 18 - 20; they/them pronouns. Escaped from Kataru and the Dentist, and ran into the gang on a heist a few days afterwards.
When first meeting Dallas, while he was injured and separated from the group during a heist, they were so malnourished that Dallas genuinely thought they were a child, closer to 10. Myshka ended up following him back with the gang, patching him up and helping Chains patch up Houston and Dragan, and Bain decided they'd simply have Myshka come along until they figured out what to do with them. (AKA: figure out if they would tell the police or not)
During this time, they became very very close with Houston. Even more interesting to the gang, Myshka and Vlad seemed to know each other. Neither would say anything about it, Myshka specifically getting agitated and withdrawn. Dallas and Bain became a bit more adamant that Myshka not stay- Myshka's attachment issues to Dallas and Houston were a hazard, and really, the gang did not have the ability to keep them there.
Eventually, the Dentist contacts Bain with a job. An important test weapon was missing, supposedly stolen. Dallas has Myshka, Sokol, Houston, Dragan, Chains, Hoxton, and Wolf come along for the job. The briefing is set up with a meeting- the first time anyone other than Dallas will be meeting the Dentist.
The Dentist is quite pleased when he sees that they already have the weapon- Myshka. Myshka panics and shuts down, resulting in the others choosing to go on the job without them, leaving them with the Dentist until they're done so they're safe and don't do anything to hurt themselves. A heist and a few lies later, Myshka is separated from the gang, heading back to Kataru.
Vlad. Well, he goes on his own personal mission after.
Despite everything, Myshka is distressed and actively tries to fight or prevent the Dentist from harming Bain. (It... doesn't go well for anyone.)
The extreme trauma and stress from Kataru caused them to have a fragile mental state. Rewards for doing tasks correctly were non-existent, while doing a task extremely well resulted in simple praise and an extra portion of food, albeit extremely small. Doing something wrong, however, or not in the way their superiors wanted, resulted in severe punishment of any kind. The main thing they were punished for was "playing", ie: moving things around without others noticing to see how they'd react; hiding documents, weapons, and other various items on others, making it seem the person stole it or was trying to sneak it out; they had even started doing this to the Dentist. This follows them outside Kataru. An almost innocent cruelty, toying with Murkywater, police, and even every day guards by scaring them, causing minor issues in their comms, flickering lights, etc. before getting bored and finally killing them.
They cling to Houston and are relatively dependent on him, panicking when he is hurt on jobs they aren't on, and going into fits of rage when he returns injured or is arguing with someone. When he is away, they function fine, but eventually become nervous, worrying about him. They've messed with his things before, to a much smaller extent than when they were in Kataru, and will mess with Dallas, Vlad, and Locke's belongings as well when they desire attention from one of them or are upset with them, to the point where they have broken something on impulse. They are very open about this with Houston: they don't know how else to get the attention they want, and they have a lot of self-hatred due to this. They also feel disgusted at themselves for toying with the guards, or their "prey". It's severe enough for them to have gotten sick after a heist because of it, and its somewhat involuntary. They'll physically recoil and shake when they realize what they're doing. Vlad attributes it to being raised as a lab rat: they were treated that way, alongside others, and still go through the motions of the tasks they would be assigned. Other scars from Kataru include needing permission to eat, and having to patrol at night.
Vlad being imprisoned damaged their already fragile mental state. He had been a parent figure to Myshka, and given them their name. His 11 year imprisonment meant Myshka spent a large amount of their life knowing only the Dentist. Something happened between the two prior to his imprisonment that neither mention, and Iveta avoids talking about. Only Hajrudin will say anything, which is that "Vlad had a daughter, she was about Myshka's age... the Dentist, and the Ark. It was... really bad. Vlad was so mad- he didn't- he didn't mean to scare them. They didn't know."
Vlad calls them “his little baby mouse”, or his "baby," as Myshka was very tiny as a child and extremely quick and quiet. They only thing that has changed is how big they are; they have also accidentally scared multiple members of the Payday gang as they move near silently. They also have a very odd habit of being able to avoid most cameras. Vlad also calls Myshka "his baby."
They tend to prefer hand to hand combat, as they feel a rush upon the contact, but again, feel disturbed by their emotions. Houston is one of the only ones who is able to touch them, and he has been picked up by them once, as well as knocked to the ground many times. (They also tend to break into his room to sleep in his room or near him, as they feel safer that way.)
They love the ocean, as the waves and water calm them. Myshka has said, on occasion, they wish they were a jellyfish because jellyfish "Don't feel anything. They just float along. Nothing hurts."
Myshka adores Houston, Locke, Vlad, Gage, and Ilija. No one is sure how Myshka has even met Ilija.
Myshka has instinctively howled with Wolf. Hoxton was so startled that he nearly dropped everything he was carrying.
Soup the Goat is the fiercest defender of them, and sits against them when they're upset. (Other animal friends include crows, a horde of rats, what Houston is pretty sure is a coyote, a family of geese, and whatever else they have dragged home from their adventures.)
Dallas affectionately refers to them as “the rabid raccoon in the garage”, which they use with pride.
Loves reading over what Duke has written about Kataru and hearing him talk about architecture.
Typically yells "GOODNIGHT BAIN" when going to bed (they have, in fact, gotten a response from him through messages) and has put a pizza in front of where a camera might be "in case Bain is hungry." Dallas once joked if leaving pizza out for Santa was a new thing, to which Myshka said "Hajrudin's coming over?!" so genuinely and excitedly that he had to call Vlad to bring Hajrudin over.
Dragan and Chains are able to keep up with them in sparring the most, but they secretly love sparring with Jacket because he “understands it.” Jacket seems to tolerate them, as they can be found quietly watching him play games, typically huddled in the corner under a blanket. (He saw Myshka being harassed at one point and came back with an arm firmly around their shoulder with blood on his face.) Myshka also likes to play hockey with Sokol. They are admittedly horrific at it and can’t skate, and generally do not know what's going on, but Sokol has become determined to get them to improve.
Gets super excited when Hoxton sings as he makes breakfast. They’ve joined in and then made Dallas and Houston join.
Main roll overall is translating whatever the fuck Vlad says and providing emotional support.
#oc.myshka#phrogs ocs#i cut out so much of this hehehe#mostly the thing prior to vlad's time in prison and also the OTHER oc.#my notes included so much and like explanations with houston too#had to change the formatting of those#eventually said u kno what i think i shall not post these details on tumblr#like frens can ask and will know on discord if they want but not tumblr#good god this is so long#this isnt even me tryign to be edgy im just channeling memories from being in a cult and trauma and whatnot

Some very rough concepts for soul core Bass and Proto, with some extra things under the cut like how Bass' buster works and some helmetless ideas for the two of them.
#I really love how Bass turned out for this#Proto also turned out cool but I think there’s still some stuff I could change about him#Bass’ hair is supposed to be a way messier version of Zero’s#mega man#megaman#my art#bass#protoman#megaman bass#proto man#mega man bass#megaman soul core au#megaman soul core#also I’m so sorry if the alt text is weird I’ve never done it before#and also my wifi fucked up halfway through it so I had to swap from my computer to my phone#so the formatting for it might be weird for those last three pics

Hi y'all, I just wanted to talk a little about the behind the scenes of what I've been up to, to give y'all a little transparency and to open myself up for any tips or input! 🙏 Thank you for your continued support and for taking the time to look at my art 🫶
First and foremost I wanted to give some transparency about my art capacity.
As og followers may remember, I started this blog when I was doing art full time. Eventually my living expenses grew and I had to go back to work. I find myself in a cycle of "I'll make more art soon, once I get a job!" And "I'll make more art soon, once I am done with this job!" I lost my most recent job suddenly, having had an extension waved over my head until the last day(October 7th). Now I'm excited to have more time for art, but I am also feeling a rush to get a new job ASAP as I've been living paycheck to paycheck. I dream of doing this work full time, I'm just scared it's not quite there yet and I worry that I come off as scammy or dishonest when I anticipate more stability around the corner.
Second, I've been struggling with the Patreon. It's taken me a while to come to terms with this, but from what I've seen Patreon is not intuitive at all from the creator end. It doesn't do a good job of organizing addresses, emails, showing who or who isn't subscribed to me, or organizing and displaying the work I put on there. I've been really shocked by this experience, since lots of big names use Patreon. It's been a great way to streamline support, but it's been unhelpful in every other regard. I would like to continue using it, but I will most likely post more wips or process videos there in the future.
Which brings me to my third point, zines. I love making zines so much, it feels personal and fulfilling and fun! However the Patreon issues make it harder to keep information in order about where to send zines, or even where to message folks about them. In addition to this, the post office has been a big barrier to me, oftentimes only being open at the same time as my dayjob. Making zines can take days, then sending them out is a whole other monster.
This work is so important to me. Drawing peoples fantasies, representing body types, creating work around sexuality and the human experience feels like what I'm meant to do. I've made comics since I was a kid. This is the dream to me. The friends I've been able to make through this work are so important to me, and the conversations have been invaluable. Not to mention fun! I wanna doodle, I wanna draw hot stuff, I wanna thirst over these dudes! I want to play!
But I also just want to be transparent about the barriers I'm working around to share that experience. I'm completely self taught, both in art AND in running shops, building websites, running 8 accounts, etc. I take a lot of time to learn the logistics of these things, and try to make them make sense for my relationship with y'all (I do not want to paywall my art!! I don't want to!!!). This year my desktop broke down (the main one I use for all paintings and digital art). I've paused my Etsy shops and my Patreon to try to catch up with things. Trying to learn to paint in a completely different program. Then lost my job with no savings.
At the end of the day I don't want anything to come between me sharing my art with you. I wish I could doodle a thing, take a picture, and post it here. No third party site, no shop, no subscription. Just sharing my art with you. I promise I'm trying to figure out how to stay as close to that as possible, and I want to thank y'all for sticking with me as I untangle all of that.
So, what can you expect in the near future?
I'm working on a couple of painting commissions right now, which you should be able to see in the next couple of days! I want to catch up on kinktober and get those posted as well. There's a comic commission in progress which I'm very eager to work on, and which I think y'all will be excited for! To ease the weight of the Patreon I think I may do less zines/polls there and more wips and process videos! If possible, I want to do more full colored work too.
Thank you again for enjoying my work, and if you have any input or tips my inbox is always open 🙏🫶💕
#long post#info#marco lore#i wish i had time to edit this and make it nice#i just wanted to be open with yall about how much work this takes and that im trying to make it more doable#i don't want to overpromise stuff with patreon or shops and if im late sending stuff i never ever want it to come off as intentional or mali#malicious or as a scam#im just trying very hard to like ...survive. financially. and then trying to make all the logistics of thos big machine work. and then keep#up with commissions and shops and printing and mailing#god i wish i had employees but jts just me#i hand draw everything and then post it here to the word press to the ig and crop and caption and tag#then to the Patreon if it makes sense to or to the tiktok back in the day#and the formatting is all different#and i get messages across all of these platforms and I'm trying to learn a new way of painting on the fly#on top of that im supposed to be running my two Etsy shops too which im not right now because..broadly gestures#my nervous system can only take losing a job so often. the rug was really pulled feom under me in this one. i thought id have more time#i don't want to sound like I'm whining and i don't want to give up on all of this#i want to be very very very clear that art is what i love and who i am and what i want to do#i want to be posting on the daily again#i just need to evaluate what that looks like everytime life changes#I'm seriously so grateful for those of y'all that have joined the Patreon or bought stuff from the shop i really don't mean to drop the ball#so many times#y'all have literally been the difference between me making rent or not and I'm so worried that i don't make enough art to give back to that#relationship#im trying my best#okay anyways im posting this

Ok now that the excitement is out of the way.
Phineas and Ferb got a proper, good ending. It had a nice follow up movie. If anything, we could have just had a single mini series revolving around Perry and Stacy, because that was the only plot point in the show that never got wrapped up.
Phineas and Ferb didn't need a series renewal. There are many other shows (looking SPECIFICALLY at The Owl House, btw) that deserved a renewal more. Please keep that in mind as we stay tuned for release dates
And tbh it wouldn't hurt to pressure Dan and Disney on social media and let them know we want more queer and poc rep, as well as expanding on the rep we already HAVE. Explore Isabella's and Baljeet's and Stacy's families more (without the weird stereotypes), make characters canonly queer (I mean this seriously guys, I do not mean perryshmirtz )(trans Doof is ✨right there✨), explore Buford and Isabella living with single parents, anything. I know ultimately it's up to Disney, but if Dan won't even try for it, then the renewal was worthless.
The world has grown in the 8 years since we were left in the backyard. Why should the show remain stagnant and the same as it always was?
#phineas and ferb#pnf#pnf renewal#literally just give someone a rainbow button on a bag how hard would that be?#bujeet is queer coded#django and jenny are queer coded#hell theyre so side character that new ppl wont even know they exist so they could do w/e they want with them#doof is trans coded and gay coded#like even ignoring personal headcanons those ones are 100% plausible#and pls i stg if we get something like rubber bands rubber balls or welcome to tokyo again in the year of our lord 2023?#that's just straight up not okay#we can do so much with this renewal#actual PLOT#if 2003 tmnt can change their whole art style mid series pnf can add in plot#catu had good genuine emotion i really dont want to go back to the same old episode format as before

Remembering the toxic hellscape that was 2015-2019ish SU fandom and just how much hate the show got is really insane when you rewatch the show after it's been a while. Like the show is good what the hell were any of these people talking about
#do NOT quote me on those numbers i pulled them straight out of my ass#like the ending was rushed and the diamonds didnt get to be fully developed but liek#the whole reason that was the case is there was an entire 6th season planned#and then the show got axed early because rebecca sugar and crew refused the back down on the rupphire wedding.#and even rushedness aside like the point of the show was never that you should hug fascists and forgive people no matter what#the diamond were rose's (and his) dysfunctional family whose personal suffering became the basis for the cruelty of gem society#bismuth in The Real World would have been right to want to kill the diamonds as a force of revolution#but the point of the show is that even the most complicated people are still people who can change. even if you dont forgive them#even steven quartz universe the most loving boy in the world very obviously does not like being around the diamonds. but that is how it is#it was a children's show that emphasized compassion and communication and family as themes. of course steven didnt kill the diamonds lol#i really fully believe the stevenbomb format (which was not the crew's choice or fault) cooked peoples' brains#you had months between major arcs so every wrongdoing by a character had months to be warped and misinterpreted and so no resolution could#ever satisfy fans who were festering with their own opinions for way too long#like these arcs looking back are not that long and they resolve in fairly reasonable manners but they took fuckin forever in real time to#wrap up#and ppl on the internet with no other hobbies than arguing made the fandom suck to be in and gave su a bad name#even if you dont like steven universe i think the amount of vitriol thrown at the show is/was fucking INSANE for what it is lmaooo#people were so so jolly to accuse rebecca sugar (a jewish lady) of being a fascist/fash sympathizer and paint every writing shortcoming or#morally dubious character action as a sign of pure fuckin evil#ok that was a long ass fuckin rant in the tags i am so sorry i'm just kind of opinionated on this matter as i am all matters#i've been rewatching su with my dad lately and this very normal and well paced and fun watchthrough experience has been illuminating#just how insane and uncalled for the hellish discourse sphere around su was/is#i say was/is i have no idea what su discourse is like nowadays. i'm too scareds to look in the su crit tag

I finally saw the mean girls musical (the movie one) I have so many fucking thoughts oh my god
#thoughts#oni talks#mean girls 2024#I think I may be the only person to kind of like it? like don’t get me wrong it is kinda ROUGH but it has so much potential and there’s bits#and pieces that I actually really enjoy or wish they had more of or just aahh#I’ve been nonstop thinking about the ideal version in my head like there’s so much potential obviously I’m biased by like a lot#since for one I know I tend to like stuff other people hate or don’t like but for two this sequel was weirdly way more relatable so maybe#I’m just projecting from my own personal experiences but Idc the POTENTIAL THERES SO MUCH ID WANNA DO INSTEAD#like there’s so many little details and characterizations that I wish was expanded on or fleshed out and it’s just like it feels like either#half baked or that it’s gone through too many edits it’s like it’s scared to exist?? like there’s some differences I love and wish they lol#leaned into but it’s like it was terrified to be too different? or like they were rushing the end especially#like in my ideal form it’s a tv show coz I think they honestly have enough that could be genuinely expanded in a way more interesting way#via that format probably not like a super extended series like you COULD but you’d definitely need more expansion but I could see the potent#but like idk one SOLID musical season with expanded character story and not like one of those rush cram shows like a good solid one#like Regina’s characterization is so fascinating but also feels like slightly off and like they could’ve leaned way more into things?#like I think keeping Regina as a closeted lesbian gives the greatest potential and interest for an expanded story#like I loved maybe the first half of the movie the most like that one song she sang to manipulate Aaron would work so much more perfectly if#she’s singing it about/to Cady? I also think in my ideal brain an cool flashback episode for Janis and Regina would be so cool coz there’s#so much you could flesh out in a flashback than you could in a retelling which while I do like the retelling since it lets you imagine thing#I just! potential! I also want more of them interacting and I do think changing Janis to be a lesbian works if they leaned more into it?#I also think in my ideal form janis would have more comeuppance or acknowledgement of her shit? I also think an arc of Regina coming out#like one thing they missed from the original is Regina playing soccer at the end & I think they could hint more towards that and maybe lean#more into her at home life in an expanded story way coz her mom is clearly like… yikes. granted maybe some of my views on the movie are too#biased by personal experience but like the way she snaps at her mom usually in my experience isn’t out of nowhere? like parents behind#closed doors. or frustrations with what her mom has clearly been putting on her the way she tells her mom not to talk about her body is very#like idk a lot of the characters in this version feel more real to me bc they act really similar to people I know irl so the expanded story#could be cool. another one that in my ideal brain would have more is Gretchen and especially her relationships with Regina as well as with#that one guy and her parents I wanna see more of how that works and her arc to feel more meaningful when she dumps him & mentions family#also as much as I didn’t care much for the straight plot stuff there’s 100% missed potential there that I could see in the differences like#iirc in the original it’s regular algebra not AP calc which I think could’ve been used as an interesting characterization opportunity for

i know as an artist touring must be hard and like. choosing a setlist must be even harder to begin with but i cant imagine choosing a setlist if you’ve released a lot of shit during the pandemic too. like some of that stuff will never see the light of day? a crowd will never get to hear it? but at the same time not performing what were your biggest hits would be a disservice too. but again. sometimes its okay not to perform ALL of your singles.
#contextually this is about taylor and 127#like yeah 127 technically started touring BEFORE 2 baddies released so it wasnt incorporated into the release i get that much#but if they- a 9 member group with solo stages allotted (so that members get breaks which is important/ costume changes) couldnt perform#some of their title tracks even in a medley format ... i mean they did for the link+...#i just dont know how taylor is going to do the setlist?? like#lover/midnights ARE touring albums you know. she did make those with a venue in mind.#however much like 127 did not have to perform highway to heaven taylor does not have to perform ME!#like i dont know how shes going to do all of that.#maybeeee she should have waited until after the rerecordings were done for the eras tour??#like i think that way midnights/lover had time to shine.#folklore and evermore seem like theyd have a smaller section anyway??#like the cardigan/betty/august trinity for folklore.#cannot imagine what she'd choose for evermore.

decided to rank all the world of warcraft zones. !! not by quests or story !! literally just by looks and how much fun i have there. the fun part is important for the lower ones lol, especially the last 2. i Do Not like the goblin starting... everything about it
its almost entirely sorted by alphabetical order except for the top rank and the first 3 of the second rank lol (also the bottom 2). can you tell i love draenei stuff?
also this list DOES NOT take the cities into account, which is why durotar and elwynn are so low for example. im gonna rank cities separately lol
#my post#if you notice that all the ones from shadowlands onward are differently formatted: this rank list was made in 2019#i had to make the rest myself#world of warcraft#ALSO if you notice that theres two emerald dreams: thats on purpose#cause tell me genuinely would you consider the inside and outside of the portal to be the same?#would you rather be inside or outside the portal?#yeah. those are two zones.#i wouldnt even say i hate any zones except for the ones i literally said i hate LOL#also tanaris truly is only ranked so high because of the caverns of time#which is not a city so it counts#also this rank list was so old that eredath was still called mac'aree so i changed it to be eredath lol

tap out. pt ii.
warnings. mentions of death, emotional distress, grief and loss, pregnancy.
a few years later, another tap-out ceremony arrives, but this time, the air feels different—heavier, somber. simon’s been gone for over a year, his deployment unexpectedly extended due to an incident overseas. you’d been told he couldn’t come home for a while, but that didn’t make the waiting any easier.
today, you stand among families who aren’t just here to tap out their loved ones but to say goodbye to those who didn’t make it home. tears stream down faces as loved ones gather around caskets, grieving the soldiers they’d lost. the sight fills you with a mix of dread and relief, knowing simon is still out there, waiting.
simon stands in formation, rigid as always, but he has a sense for you. before you even appear in his line of sight, he knows you’re near. but imagine his surprise when he catches a glimpse of you in his peripheral vision, a small bundle wrapped securely in your arms.
his heart hammers in his chest, quickening as he realizes what this means. his breath catches, his eyes fixed on you as you approach. you look up at him, your eyes sparkling, a knowing smile on your face as you watch the subtle changes in his expression—the slight twitch of his eyebrows, the way his breathing picks up as it dawns on him.
both of you had been trying for a baby before he left, and now, standing before him, you hold that precious life in your arms. it had been a struggle going through pregnancy without him, feeling his absence during every kick and every sleepless night. but seeing him now, looking more than ready to meet your child, all the pain fades away, replaced by a joy so profound it fills every inch of you.
‘daddy’s home,’ you whisper softly, tilting the blanket so simon can see her tiny face, fast asleep, a perfect mirror of him in miniature. she’s got his nose, his quiet strength already etched into her tiny features.
with tears in your eyes, you reach up, your hand finding his cheek, tapping him out in the gentlest of touches.
the moment your hand connects, simon moves, breaking formation as he pulls both of you into his arms, holding you close as if he’ll never let go. his voice is thick with emotion, barely a whisper as he murmurs, ‘my loves.’
you knew your husband had a reputation in the military—a man as cold and unyielding as steel, a fortress no one could break. but as he held you and your newborn in his arms, that carefully built facade cracked, revealing a vulnerable side of him that only you ever saw. the tough soldier was gone, replaced by a man whose heart lay entirely with his family.
‘do you want to hold her?’ you ask softly, watching his eyes light up with a blend of surprise and joy.
‘her?’ he whispers, voice catching on the single word, as if it’s almost too much for him to believe.
you nod, smiling through a haze of happy tears. ‘her.’
with slow, reverent movements, you pass your daughter to him, watching as she looks impossibly tiny cradled in his strong arms. simon looks down at her with a mixture of wonder and fierce protectiveness, as though he’s already memorizing every detail of her face.
as if sensing her father’s gaze, the baby yawns, a soft little sound that makes simon’s eyes shine with awe. you catch the faintest smile pulling at his lips, a rare, tender expression that he reserves only for moments like this.
he leans down, pressing his lips gently to her forehead. ‘never gonna let anything happen to you,’ he murmurs, voice thick with love and quiet promise.
while simon was lost in his quiet moment with your daughter, a loud shout cut through the air, breaking the peaceful silence.
‘is that our baby i see?!’
simon’s head snapped up, his expression immediately shifting to something harder. he turned to see soap grinning widely, practically bouncing with excitement. with a sigh, simon reached over and smacked the back of soap’s head, though his movements were careful not to jostle the sleeping baby in his arms.
‘there’s people grieving, you idiot,’ simon muttered, but soap only snickered, completely unfazed.
‘and what do you mean, ‘our’? she’s y/n’s and mine. you’re not part of this relationship, mate,’ simon added, his tone dripping with mock irritation.
but soap, undeterred, just ignored him and held out his hands, wiggling his fingers in a display of exaggerated excitement. ‘oh, come on! let me hold our child!’
simon groaned, looking down at you with a glance that seemed to ask, ‘do i really have to put up with this?’ but he couldn’t hide the tiniest hint of a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth as soap’s enthusiasm filled the air around you.
reluctantly, and with another sigh, simon finally leaned over, carefully passing your daughter to soap, though not without a low, ‘if you don’t keep her calm, you’re not holding her again.’
soap just grinned, taking her into his arms as if he’d won the lottery, cradling her gently and cooing softly.
soon after, the rest of task force 141 gathered around, drawn by the excitement, each member eager to catch a glimpse of the new addition to the family.
you and simon stood to the side, watching with cautious eyes as they took turns holding her, each one adopting a careful gentleness you wouldn’t have expected from hardened soldiers.
price held her with a proud grin, murmuring something about ‘training her to be the next captain,’ while gaz made her giggle softly with his gentle cooing. even the usually reserved roach softened as he held her, a rare smile tugging at his lips.
you glanced up at simon, watching his face as he stood beside you, arms crossed in a show of casual indifference.
but you knew him too well. beneath the mask of stoicism, there was something warmer, a subtle softness in his gaze as he watched his team, his family, sharing this moment with him. this gruff, unbreakable soldier, who had once thought he’d lost everything, had found a new family among them, one that shared in his joys and sorrows alike.
reaching over, you took his hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. he didn’t say anything, just gave your hand a quick squeeze in return, a quiet acknowledgment. but you could see it in his eyes, that gratitude for a family he never expected to find—a family that had now become part of yours.
