Ethan with Benji and Luther 😭❤❤

[nobodys-hekatonchires]

Luther saw that little twink back in '96 and said "yep, Imma stick with his crazy ass"

[changethecircumstances]

I hate it cause Ghost Protocol is objectively (I would argue even factually) a better movie than 2 and yet the lack of Luther in it makes a small part of me want to watch 2 over Ghost Protocol and I hate myself for that lol

[kcsplace]

Benji and Ilsa have thoughts and views upon the Americans trying to make "tea" Lipton is not fucking tea, do not approach Benji or Ilsa with Lipton

You wanted mi art requests, my only request is for Ethan to be held, by Benji or Luther your pick. He just needs a nap, for like ten years, and a dog, just let this man rest please

This is probably not what you had in mind, but this is what I came up with :'D

When I was thinking about how to draw Luther holding Ethan, I was going through their scenes and I was sure there was a scene where they hugged?? Fandom overwriting brain

Will draw them being actually tender some time 😤

WHAT IF

They kill Luther in one scene, Benji the next. Ethan’s lost his team again.

"Kittridge, you've never seen me upset" now he has

Then, to save the world or something, Ethan dies too

What if Benji, Luther, and Ethan all die?

Mission: Impossible/His Dark Materials crossover - characters and their daemons

More details and reasonings under the cut:

The choice of each animal came from a mix of ideas; from general symbolism, to specific symbols (even dream symbolism) and actual behavioral and personality traits of the animals (and I now know about so many birds and lizards than I ever did before). And yes, it was much more fun than it probably should've been.

I think the IMF/CIA/general spy protocol calls for people who have smaller daemons as they can be less conspicuous, harder to target, and easier to pick up and carry, and they especially favor daemons that can fly.

That said, Benji's is by far the biggest of the bunch but I considered he started as a tech so he wouldn't necessarily have a "spy appropriate" daemon type at the outset. The Asian Small Clawed otter is however the smallest species of otter, but it's also the most social, so that worked out great.

I used symbolism for falcons in general for Ethan's kestrel, but kestrels are part of the falco genus so I say it counts.

Same with Jane's gecko, I considered lizard symbolism as a whole on top of geckos specifically.

Ethan's kestrel is so on the nose it's ridiculous. Nevermind the symbolism, they fight birds bigger than themselves, love to do stunts like flying to insane heights then freefalling, they calculate risks while hunting - he's got a kestrel.

Luther's probably seems like the oddest match but all the symbolism matches up too well and I love the idea of this flashy little bird on his shoulder.

I followed Pullman's general naming conventions in that they're more diverse and sometimes obscure.

However most of them they absolutely have nicknames because of course they do.

I do realize 'Kari' is probably a better nickname than 'Kathi' but I misspelled it the first time around and now the idea of an otter called Kathi amuses me.

I think the daemons' personalities are pretty one-to-one matches of their people, except maybe Brandt's Pru is a bit less pessimistic than he is, haha.

The M:I wiki lists Julia's last name as both 'Meade' and 'Meade-Hunt' so I went with the latter just cause it still has Ethan's last name in there.

Rewatched the teaser trailer, and it made me realize:

I didn't think about Luther.

We have all been worried about Benji dying, but Luther is literally saying:

"We've always been on the right side. I have no regrets and neither should you." That sounds an awful lot like something you'd say when you were dying/going to die/ok maybe when someone else dies and Luther has to console Ethan, but still.

Are they actually going to kill Luther? He is literally the first thing we hear in the trailer so he seems to be having a bigger part in this one. We know from McQ and Simon that Benji at least gets more to do in this one than the ones before (certainly more than DR), but nobody talks about Luther.

What is going to happen with Luther?
