Dr.Arias/Paradox/Pair of Ducks analysis/headcanons ! (oh my god this was REALLY HARD TO MAKE because NOBODY talks about paradox and theres almost NO info about them ! ill split these into two for Paradox and Pair of Ducks! also know, that these are just my headcanon and theories! they may not be close to the ACTUAL canon!!)

DR. ARIAS/PARADOX:

him and simon were close childhood friends! then, they also became eachothers coworkers! at that time, paradox was the head of psychology and simon was the 2nd best therapist in the site!

they both shared two interests: ducks and psychology! ducks, because of their symbolism and their various number of species!

I AGREE WITH THIS HEADCANON, but paradox smells like poisonous flowers! im thinking of belladonna!

his fashion style is dark academia! its the opposite of simon's; light academia!

he probably listens to someone like Gesaffelstein!

his birthday: February 15th, 1988 (37)

but in secret, outside of the foundation, paradox was a member of the serpent's hand!

one day though, during an experiment with scp-914, he was watching the test, BUT a d-class got scared/angry and shoved him into 914 ... ->

this incident caused him to become two ducks, but both of the ducks have his mind and soul in them! he was STILL proven to be able to work for the foundation for his human-changing trait (and the fact kain pathos is a dog and he still works)

DR. PAIR OF DUCKS

after the incident and him becoming two mallard ducks (one female, one male), obviously people were VERY confused to see two ducks coming in to work! even more confused when they saw his ability to turn into a human with both of them!

this earned his nickname: Pair Of Ducks!

but, 4 months later, he causes a containment breach that involves turning the cameras off, takes advantage of the situation to go steal scp-268 (it originally belonged to the Serpent's Hand, so they told him to go get it!) but then Simon catches him while running to a breach shelter, seeing him with the hat and Pair of Ducks attempts to convince him to leave with him to the Serpent's hand ! this doesn't work, so Simon panics and tries to convince him to defect from the Serpent's Hand last minute! They are both caught, and Pair of Ducks suddenly risks being terminated, but Simon manages to convince the higher ups to not kill him, and the higher ups agree because he's both an anomaly and important asset to the Foundation . But then he manages to fake his death, by Simon and other higher ups helping to spread the word that an MTF killed him, and another rumor that Kondraki confirmed he died. Then, after he faked his death and defected from the Serpent's Hand, L.S took over and suceeded in stealing SCP-268.

after this, the Foundation doesn't completely trust Pair of Ducks anymore, so they separate his two ducks to block his anomaly of turning into a human! Pair of Ducks is two ducks; one of them is a female mallard duck in SCP-765, the other one is a male mallard now known as Maverick; Simon's therapy pet!

When people ask him about the new unique choice of therapy animal, Simon pretends that he's grieving the death of Paradox by getting a pet that reminds him of Paradox.

a little bit about Maverick: now we know that Maverick is anomalous, but also that he's part of Paradox. Maverick can understand people, and during therapy, he helps patients by comforting them when they cry (by going on their lap for example). Paradox WAS an amazing therapist, and forever will be in his Maverick form.

and now a little bit about the other mallard duck: Paradox's other half of him is in SCP-765 (duck pond), it would make sense for this half of him to be there, since the pond has therapeutic effects, and Paradox is determined to be a good therapist even in his separated duck forms!

"Non paeniteo potitus."

+ details & process

And, process !!

The jump btwn the second to last and last always surprise me whenever I make one of these because I always forget to take snapshots after I start painting. It's always like: oh yeah heres the lineart with some colors- BOOM fully finished✨️

What he's holding are the Austrian imperial scepter and orb, seen below:

I was going to draw the crown too but decided I don't hate myself that much(maybe some other day), and gave him a golden laurel crown, bcs I'm obsessed with that as a motif, and also its very remincient of the boy king statue that started this whole thing!

There's some symbolism of this, both intentionally but also just historically. I love that the orb represents that the monarch is holding the world in their hand, basically every old monarchy has one of those, and I think it's very cool for symbolism. But also bcs of that, I was forced to basically draw catholic fanart so, you win some you lose some. The star halo above him head is both to reference those religious statues with star crowns(I saw them a lot in Europe and they imprinted onto my brain), as well as: his four championships of course!

I feel like I need to cry for an extended period of time

The amount of time I spent as a kid playing the LPS plug and play game from 2007 was probably unhealthy.

[telemna-hyelle]

is it so hard to believe that Julius Caesar was wrong?

[regular-lord-reckoner]

well, i guess i'm as winter storm ready as i can be !

i clocked out of work for a bit to go run the errands i normally do on fridays because tomorrow we're supposed to get a few actual inches of snow (we'll see !!) so that was..... exhausting to do in the middle of a work day (and right before a snowstorm in the south... the traffic....) but it's all done !!

i've gotta work a couple of hours tomorrow because i ended up taking longer than i meant to (mostly because of the traffic) but hopefully i can get up and get that done before there's any possibility of even losing power so fingers crossed !

hope you're safe out there if you're reading this and stay warm/safe if this shit's about to hit you as well !! <3

Commission for @biteandblades on Twitter! Fucking psyched to get to post this, I had so much fun working on it!

[pagesofkenna]

how the writing's going: I've managed to completely restructure this world's cosmology for a third time over, still don't have a name for the type of alien the main character is, ergo haven't started on the second draft
