Travail de nouveaux personnages, en effet j'ai imaginé différents oiseaux avec des formes simples et variées pour ensuite les mettre en scène dans un décor.

L'un d'entre eux se sent légèrement observé...

The Graveyard

Some of you have already seen this one, but I'll drop it here for those who haven't.

Summary:

So a thought occurred to me; "What if Leo and Markus actually had a conversation during the graveyard scene?" So I wrote a short story that's exactly this. I may write a larger story around this scene later on, but I had an itch that needed to be scratched by fixing this scene. I want an update on Leo! A deeper connection! Brothers! So here you go!

The Graveyard

After the Jericho raid, Markus was distraught, and left to seek his father for advice. Only Carl had died from a heart attack, so he was visiting his father's tombstone instead. "I miss the way things used to be...you were a great father, Carl. You had always been there for me, giving me advice and words of wisdom. I wish I could rewind time and go back. I didn't realize it back then, but...I was happy." Markus whimpered, "Carl...dad. I don't know what to do. I thought we would succeed because we were doing the right thing, but humans don't seem to care. I'm going to have to make a big decision...one that could cost thousands of lives. I don't want bloodshed...no matter than color. I wonder...if I had fought back against Leo...would you still be alive? I guess there's no point dwelling on the past; All I can change is the future. I think you'd agree, right Carl?" He paused and began pacing back and forth. "If we protest peacefully, all of the androids caught in the camps will lose their lives when we could have done something but...if we fight back and rescue them...the blood spilled will be on our hands..." Markus took a deep exasperated breath as tears began to stream down his cheeks. "I miss you dad...I miss you so much!"

"M-Markus?!" A familiar voice called out from behind.

"Leo?" Markus responded, still looking down towards Carl's grave.

"How? How the hell are you still alive?! I mean, I saw you on the broadcast, but..." Leo questioned with shock.

"I crawled out of the junkyard and pulled myself together...quite literally." Markus explained.

"I see...so as an android, do you have the ability to speak with the dead?" Leo wondered.

A slight smile curved its way onto Markus' lips as he turned to look at Leo. "No...nobody has such an ability as far as I'm aware." He noticed Leo's features had changed; the dark circles under his eyes were gone, his skin looked smooth, and he appeared to be sober. "You look...better Leo. So what if you could speak with dad? What would you say to him?"

Leo looked down. "I'd tell him...I'm sorry."

"Why are you sorry?"

"It's all my fault." Leo's eyes filled with moisture and a downpour pushed it's way out. "I was on...that shit and I felt like I needed to blame you. I thought 'How could my dad love that thing more than me? An unfeeling machine over his own son?' But when I sobered up, I started having flashbacks...nightmares about that night. I thought a lot about how you cried and ran to him...calling 'dad'. It's all my fucking fault! I killed dad!" Leo was sobbing uncontrollably, covering his face with his hands.

Leo' remorse seemed legitimate and Markus felt sorry for him. He went behind Leo and wrapped his arms around his waist. "It's not your fault." Markus comforted, speaking softly.

"How is it not my fault?" Leo mumbled in his hands, still covering his face. "Dad died because of me."

"No...it's my fault Leo. I became deviant at that time, and I chose not to fight back. Maybe things could have been different. But it's pointless to dwell on what we did or didn't do. We have to just accept the present and keep moving forward."

"I miss dad. I miss him so much." Leo whimpered.

"I miss him too." Markus shared his sentiment, tightening his hug around Leo.

"I just wish...I wish I could have heard him say that he's proud of me, you know? I managed to quit Red Ice so far...I've been sober for a whole week. It may not seem like much but..."

"I'm so proud of you Leo. It's no easy feat to make that kind of progress." Markus iterated to Leo, using Carl's voice.

Leo was sobbing through exasperated breathing. "I love you, dad!"

Still using Carl's voice, Markus said sweetly, "I love you too, son." He rested his chin on Leo's head as tears escaped from his face as well.

They both closed their eyes and stood there for a few minutes until Leo eventually pulled away from Markus. "I'm sorry...for everything I put you through. I've managed to stay sober for this long, but I don't know if I can keep going. I don't have anyone in my life to love me...my parents are both gone. I don't have any family."

"Dad may be gone but...I'm here, and I've forgiven you." Markus reached his arms out.

"You'd forgive me after what I've done?"

"That's what brothers do." Markus let out a soft chuckle and smiled at Leo.

"Brothers?" Leo pondered as he turned back to Carl's grave.

"Dad would be proud of both of us." Markus assured.

Leo turned to Markus and embraced him in a tight hug. "Thank you so much, bro." Markus tightly reciprocated. "Where are you going to go now?"

Markus pulled out of the hug. "Humans have declared war on us...we have to fight back before they slaughter our people."

"I'm going to fight with you."

"What? That's absurd! Leo you could die! You're a human and I'm just-"

"-You're my brother Markus! Wherever you go, I'll go too."

Behind the Scenes of The Christmas Invasion (Part 41)

Excerpt from the Radio Times, 17-30 December 2005, interviews by Nick Griffiths

The first alien that Tennant encounters is a killer Santa Claus. Actually, "there's more than one," he says, "and these are not out-of-work actors in Harrods for the Christmas break. They're from another place. There's always something disturbing about the very familiar when it goes off-centre. Like clowns - they can be very scary." Quaking in your Christmas stockings yet? Tennant continues: "That's what's great about the show - it brings the universe to a very domestic level." But the Santas are just a sideshow, it turns out. "They're a kind of trailer for the real big baddie." That'll be the Sycorax Leader. Six and a half feet of towering bone and muscle, dripping the spoils of victory: shrunken heads, victims' kneecaps, that sort of thing. Oh, and clutching a broadsword. And Tennant has to fight him. Gruelling stuff? "I suppose," says Tennant. "Filming for the new series lasts 38 weeks. It's relentless, certainly, but it's not like a real job. Daily, it's incredibly exciting because it's so mind-expanding and bonkers!"

episode 41 really put into perspective john's relationship with oscar to me,

john almost lost himself in the dark world, he had to resort back to his old ways, he refused to forget arthur, arthurs his only friend, his beacon of morality, he'll never forget him and he'll always care about him.

and then he comes back. he gets to be with arthur, just those two together how he liked it. arthur is losing his mind currently, and john has to bring him back. he can't let arthur slip the way he did. he loves arthur and he doesn't ever want to lose him.

and then they go to new york

arthur, after only a couple days of having john back, start to ignore him for a new friend. oscar. john went through so much sacrifice to never forget arthur. john forgot himself before he forgets arthur. but to john, arthurs seemingly forgotten about him after only a couple days. and that must be fucking gut wrenching to experience.

of course john would hate oscar, of course, being so used to his old ways, he'd slip back into them to try to get his arthur back. he just wants to be happy with his friend. his only friend.
