#paige tsv

Wouldnt it just be truly fucking awful if it was only people out here, and nothing else?

anyways this is like my favourite carpenter monologue of all time it destroys me. so yk i had to draw it. ALSO you can BET i used @catwyk 's incredible parish designs and @valtsv 's leech halo for faulkner. because i gotta steal their smartypants ideas

tsv was huge for casual trans rep and i'm not kidding like. yeah this guy is trans but more importantly he's a religious fanatic and a greek tragedy waiting to happen. yeah this girl is trans but more importantly she's the widow of wounds, doomed to repeat the cycle of violence she's trying to end. yeah this politician is non-binary but more importantly they're defined to their core by their deep, potent sense of loneliness. et cetera

"and I find myself wondering: is this it?"

it's paige time! I wanted to try drawing paige as she was introduced in ep 7- comfortable yet still unfulfilled.

Tsv character portraits. It was very important to me to get my vision of them out of my head after I listened to the finale for some reason. Hopefully it’s obvious who’s who

Also I somehow completely forgot to mention in my last post but like Vaughan just in general!! Was so!!!

Like first we meet them they are clearly such a hopeful person, just casually being genuine friends with Carpenter aka the most asocial person in this podcast uptil now (maybe it's also because Carpenter is young here but still). They want to make it Big in the city and have a great life and even though they know it can be unlikely they still want to give take that chance.

And then the next episode and it's just. Idk if it was just me but Vaughan to me sounded extremely tired, from their very first lines they sounded so exhausted but hiding it behind a playful mask. It was like their upbeat optimistic personality had been gutted and only a shell was left but enough of it to still convince others that they are ok. Which is especially jarring because by all means they have achieved their dream. They are in the creative team of a big company. They did make it big!

And then more of the chapter goes on and the more the bleak reality of this world is revealed the more it becomes that Vaughan won't survive this. They realized that as soon as Paige showed them that email, that the company will sacrifice it's employees and it will include them.

And they still tried to fight it! They went kicking and screaming and completely hopeless but they still tried to fight it even though they knew it was pointless they still tried. And yet it meant nothing. All of their hardwork, their dreams, their friendships, nothing saved them as the dream they worked so hard to achieve literally killed them brutally

And just!!! One of their first lines was "Isn’t this great? We each get to choose the thing that eats us." Except they didn't! They didn't get to choose! They fought and it was for nothing and they didn't even get to choose what would eat them

not platonic, not romantic, but a secret third thing (we created a god together and now we are stuck running a cult we accidentally built)

I’m in love with both of them

@mongeese the way I bolted to my tablet to draw this

[thermodynamic-comedian]

y'know. since s1, the thing that fascinated me most about faulkner was his obsession with becoming a part of history. "they'll write about this," he repeats again and again, desperate to be the great religious leader and figure others remember in scripture and poetry.

and i was waiting for some sort of foil to that; the opposite of this fanatic who wants to be a core part of his own faith. and now, in s3, i really do think that that narrative foil is paige. because she says, audibly smiling, "they won't write about this," she says, "this is ours." she wants something authentic; something true; something that isn't glamorous and complicated and tainted by history and sacrifice, she wants to be a part of a movement, not a faith. a rebel doesn't want to be remembered; they just want to make an impact.

idk what the target audience for this crossover is, but may i present: faulkner & carpenter and paige & hayward as necromancer & cavalier pairs in the locked tomb setting

Will never be normal about Paige’s sucky dad calling her ‘daughter’ all the time as opposed to her name that she chose because on one hand it’s affirming but on the other it constantly reminds her of her tie to him, that she can’t leave him and also that he paid for her transition.
