DUE SOUTH (1994-1999)

[hwaetnot]

Since getting into due South, I've been buying more strawberries. Here's why.

Fraise.

That's it. That's why. But things have gotten out of hand.

RayVelnut, Fraise, and Diefentater in the Rivocado.

Diefentater is fond of Raymbutan.

🍓 — "I'm home!"

Curtain call.

Produced with love, an entry for @ds30below.

saw a cloud that looks like rayman today.

That's bonkers. Anyway let me make an oc based off of this rq 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♂️

This is Straytus!! I don't have an in depth personality or gender/sexuality, so I'm open for ideas!

All I got it's that they're a soft pathetic fella who's besties with a super hyper, party obsessed fella (Rayve)

I don't have any lore, but I do have some ideas. If y'all do wanna see more of the introverted cloud guy and they're extroverted buddy tell me

Heck, even give me requests idk dude I like their designs

(Thanks for the ask btw >:] )

Benton Fraser and Ray Vecchio in due South 2.18 "Flashback"

[allofthebeanz]

With all the lovely @sammaggs meta for Burning Down the House being posted, it made me realize how damn good of a job pg and the team did with that episode. I obviously adored it before, best character introduction ever if I'm honest, but seeing the effort they took to make RayK have moments similar to RayV, even nearly the same dialogue but behaving slightly off. It's just like how Fraser must've felt! He knew it wasn't Ray Vecchio, but RayK acts like him just enough in this first meetup that you're second guessing yourself. Is he a replacement to RayV only? Is this a new character???

And on top of all that you notice how Fraser becomes far more intrigued when RayK has his own moments. The moments where he's not pretending to be Ray Vecchio but wholly himself. I'm thinking of the 'electricity. your tongue. not a good mix' exchange. The classic moment where he tells Fraser to let him think after all this frenetic movements and Fraser leans in. How Ray was a little shit after he got shot.

Just... I love that episode so much. The writers did so well with that one, I could watch it a million times.

in a ray swap au, I think Ray Vecchio would be perfectly happy to meet Fraser's former partner who he's heard so much about.

Meanwhile RayK, returning from two years undercover to see Fraser partnered with someone else, even though he knew this would happen:

I'm only 5 episodes into s1 of my due South rewatch, but it's just so delightful. It's not even what I'd consider due South yet. But it's delightful. And it's wonderful to watch RayV learn to be a better person despite trying not to.

Fraser drags Ray kicking and screaming into being a better person and doesn't even notice because he always thought Ray was a good person. It's not even that Fraser looked at Ray and said, "I can fix him," so much as he already thought Ray was awesome and Ray spends the next two seasons trying to live up to that. Never noticing that he didn't need to or when he does unconsciously start to be that better person. Meanwhile Fraser just continues on not really noticing because Ray's just being the person Fraser already knew he was.

Fascinating dynamic.
