[Image Description:

Mildly stylized, semi-realistic fanart of Bart Curlish and Ken Adams, both in their early season 1 outfits. (It's baggy orange worker's coveralls for Bart, and a casual green t-shirt over a longsleeve for Ken). The colors are muted.

Bart is standing, Ken is kneeling. She's indifferent, looking at nothing; he is smiling brightly, his hands folded in prayer or plea, looking up at the muzzle of the gun she's pressed to the top of his head. Bart's side, especially arm and face, is heavily splattered with bright, contrasting blood, some on her gun-holding hand (and some droplets on Ken); Ken's face is streaked with wet trails of tears.

The background spells "Everything is connected", over and over.

Part 1 of my @dghdabigbang for @shortterror‘s fic The Best Laid Plans...!! [Part 2]

it’s been so long since I’ve drawn kurlish but my love for one homicidal dirt muppet has not weakened a drop

[image description: two panel drawing of ken adams and bart curlish. they’re both freerunning on a roof. in the first, ken looks startled, and is reaching out a hand forward and yelling “BART”). in the second, bart hauls herself over a wall, to holistically collide foot first with a stranger’s neck with a kRK.]

Bart and Ken singing Backstreet Boys!!

God the thing I'm most mad about not getting a 3rd season is them. They just turned their entire dynamic around and I'll never know what happens next

[urlocallesbiab]

*stares the audience directly in the eyes* hereby i humbly ask you to open the readmore, view the photos and/or read their descriptions, and marvel at the craftsmanship, composition & colorwork, pathos, and beauty of this whole-ass goddamn bart & ken sculpture!!!! seriously it's so cool and i'm in love with it, and i NEED y'all to look at it!!

Art for the DGHDA Mini Bang 2023

As a part of the @dghdabigbang I've made a sculpture based on the wonderfull @urlocallesbiab's lovely fanfic of which they've posted a sneak peak here:

(link tho the complete fic coming soon)

My sculpture is under the cut as there is a fair bit of fake blood, as is to be expected with anything depicting Bart.

Thought it would fun to see it in some different lighting so you get two versions of it

[Image description:

Two photos of a polymer clay sculpture of characters from the "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" 2016 TV show: Ken Adams, a Black man with a short haircut, and Bart Curlish, a white feminine person with matted hair. They're both stylized as figurines with round features, and situated in a diorama of a service stairwell.

Ken sits on the ground, legs outstretched, supporting his balance with one hand on the floor, raising another to meet Bart; she stands before him, leaning forward to give him a hand. Both hands are dirty with blood, and Bart's front is splattered with it head to toe. There are prominent bloody splats on the double door behind them, and more of it pools under them, trickling down the stairs and out of the frame.

That door forms the background of the diorama, and the second double door behind Bart forms the side, both of them large and square. The first one is sectioned into four blue panels, with a big red "5" in one of them denoting the floor. The second one is fully, brightly red. The floor, stairs and doorframes are grey.

Both photos are done from the same angle, but the first one has neutral, diffused lighting that clearly showcases the colors, while the second one is lit strongly and warmly from above, casting deep dramatic shadows, making the second door bright orange and the whole scene golden.

COMING SOON: Kurlish Week

Greetings, Dirktectives- we have a little project on the horizon you might be interested in!

With all the love in this fandom for Brotzly and Faranda, we thought it about time our Murder Bros get a little niche to themselves too. Introducing KURLISH WEEK- your hub for all your Bart/Ken needs! Whether you ship them romantically or platonically, all interpretations are welcome!

But before we get this show on the road, we’re going to need your help!

With the exception of Day 8, which will be a Free Day, we’d like each day to have its own theme. So your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to send us one-word prompts! Our inbox is open, so if you can think of a word (or several- don’t be shy!) that could be a good starter/source of inspiration to anyone who wants to contribute, send it on in! We’ll choose seven of these words (or they might choose themselves if the same words get multiple suggestions) to become our daily themes!

We’re hoping to get this show on the road on October 1st to gear up for season 2- if you want more details on dates and submission guidelines (including our policy on NS/FW contributions), please visit our INFO PAGE- all your questions will be answered within! And if you have a question that isn’t answered, send it our way! In the meantime if you could reblog this/tell your friends that’d be great, we want as many people taking part as possible and the more prompt submissions, the better!

Later, chums!

so many more people used to ship bart/ken in the immediate aftermath of s1, but then he went evil in s2 and everyone dropped that pairing like a hot potato (and its not even like with faranda being replaced by farina, neither bart nor ken got any new fanon love interests after their ship sank) :( and i think it's a shame, because imo them being horrible and codependent and desperately needing each other and having this enormous capability to hurt each other that stems from deep intimacy and understanding and lack of understanding - the ability which they actively excercise - i think it makes them more fun! cmonn they used to make each other better but now they make each other Worse, i think it's interesting! i think it's romantic! have some room in your heart for toxic ships between fucked up people!

Kurlish week- day 2: AUs An Alternate universe where Bart “Killer Angel” Curlish is a literal angel. (Here's a mood board/ aesthetic because I’m too lazy to draw)

[clockworkcheetah]

i'd ship you with todd but in a delightful crash-and-burn kind of way, like kurlish but worse; i have a feeling you'd run him into the ground, and i mean that with respect. also i think u & tina would get along great!

we would be peak dysfunction ✌️ and id love to hang out with tina tbh shes fun id take a weed gummy from her

Part 2 of my @dghdabigbang for @shortterror‘s fic The Best Laid Plans...!! [Part 1]

I’m so blessed with this fic I love it so much

[image description: drawing of ken adams and bart curlish. they’re playing a video game in a dark room, lit by the screen. bart is leaning over ken, elbowing him slightly with enthusiasm from the game. ken looks at her fondly.]

I absolutely love the Ken/Bart scene when she apologizes for kidnapping him and holding him hostage.

I honestly feel like too many TV shows/movies have Character A do something bad to Character B, they become friends eventually, and A never acknowledges the harm they did to B. The bad is brushed off because it’s all fine and merry in the end.

And, honestly, it could've easily been that in Bart and Ken’s case. Ken seemed happy in Bart’s presence. Bart had no reason to fear that he would suddenly bolt because of what happened. Yet, she took it upon herself to apologize and say if he wanted to leave, he could. She and the narrative essentially handed Ken back his free will and agency as a character. There was none of that ‘oh, he had accepted it in the end, therefore this is never mentioned again’. Ken is not a sidekick or some prop, he becomes Bart’s partner who wants to be by her side because that is what he chose.

This show takes these tropes and cliches and subverts them and it is important and such a joy to behold.
