DHMIS character moodboards Part II

Part I is right here

[hambor12]

Is there an OC of yours that you find the most fun drawing?

I'd have to say really ANY of Team Aces Wild, mainly as i just really enjoy Sammy, Melanie, Creme, and Abernathy as like a few of my Oldest OCs. Outside of the legacy/seniority favor i give to Aces Wild, Valerie and Spade are incredibly fun to draw whenever i get the chance to do so

[youronlydrpepper]

My friend has been suggesting I do some more designs to fit with my casino inspired setting/story, so I took on the challenge

I also redesigned my other casino based dudes since they needed an update after so long. I still have a couple more designs to figure out that I haven’t had the brain power for lol

Not all of them play a main role but I’m working on making the roles connect and make sense for this project. I’m excited to see where this all goes ^^

FNV Minor Character Poll - Round 1-A, Day 4

Left: Ten of Spades, junior member of First Recon and spotter. —"See, I w-w-wanted to be Ace of Spades. But the LT says, sorry kid, you're t-t-too green. So he calls me Ten instead. It's okay, though. I get a few more k-k-kills under my belt, he'll move me up to Jack. Jack of Spades. Sounds better, right? I keep at it, eventually I'll make it to Ace. Think I'll skip Queen, though."

Right: Pauline & Sammy Wins, the Mojave's most dangerous pair of "up-and-coming" criminals. —Pauline Wins: "Sammy and me got our hands on a powerful weapon not too long ago: Vance's gun. You know - Vance, of Vance and Vikki? That gun's our 'shot' at the big-time. We're gonna sneak it onto the Strip and rob one of the casinos. Maybe all of them! We'll be known as the greatest gunslingers to ever terrorize the wastelands!"

Designated cheerleaders were not available for this match-up.

Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends (and happy Thursday to the rest of us). A short NSFW Sambastian story for you to read while grandma is taking her post turkey nap. Excerpt below!

Sam nodded his head in his direction, and Sebastian laid his cards on the table. “Flush,” he said. “All spades.”

“Aww man,” Sam said. “I just got two pairs.”

“Ha! Suck it Sammy,” Sebastian gloated. Safe for another round!

“Wait!” Sebastian froze, seeing the shit-eating grin on Sam’s face. “Two pairs of queens,” Sam said, turning his cards face up on the table.

FUCK! Fuck! Shit! Damn! … FUCK!

[oddlittlestories]

So one of the things about TUA that I find so interesting is how each of the characters reacts to the abuse of Hargreeves in a different way. It’s very close to an exploration of the full spectrum of reactions. (Season 1 in particular is a kind of study of this but I’m not going to go into Leonard here. I’m also not going to go into Lila or the abusive relationship employment of the Commission, but I have thought about those things as well.)

Edit: Kind of long so more under the cut. Slipped and marked it mature by accident >.<

Luther

Luther isn’t the leader, like he thinks. He’s the enforcer. And he’s the enforcer because he is so convinced that the failure is with him, with them, and not their father. When he can no longer follow his father’s will in s2, he finds a new powerful man to enforce for—in a very literal way.

Luther, especially in s1-2, is a difficult character to like. He’s an ass, he’s always convinced he’s right, and he’s always wheedling to be heard, to be obeyed, to be listened to. And he is the cause of much of his siblings’ suffering.

It’s quite sad from another angle, though. He seeks out another powerful man in s2 because he very much does not have any internalized framework of his own—of right and wrong, or even really of likes and dislikes.

Once he sets that need for control down, he’s mostly just this goofy, slouchy guy. He doesn’t know what’s happening, going to happen, or what’s right. He just takes things as they come.

As a comparison to a character many of us find much more appealing, Dean Winchester is also an enforcer. The difference is, one of John’s directives is to protect Sammy, and his own reaction is in that same direction, like many abused kids. Protect your sibling. Which creates this deeply codependent dynamic that we see throughout the show. (They also have a bit of golden child / scapegoat going on, which we’ll come back around to.)

Ben

The one who dies. I’m not going to say too much about this beyond sometimes that, too, is a consequence of abuse.

Allison

The one who perpetuates the cycle. I really like this because I don’t fully like the adage ‘hurt people hurt people.’ Hargreeves is an abuser because he feels justified in his abuse.

Allison does it because she didn’t grow up with any other skills, and because it feels safe. Her first acts of abuse are with her daughter, because she is a frustrated and overwhelmed parent with no other skills to manage her own emotions. But she does well in therapy, and we see her leveraging those skills to push back against ingrained family dynamics.

But whenever she is lost and afraid in the world, she resorts to abuse to get what she wants. And more and more through the story, we see her abandoning compassion and emotional regulation in favor of taking her feelings out on others. Because she decides it’s justified.

Five

The runaway. Five rebels to escape the abuse, and gets re-traumatized out in the world. But he also steals his autonomy back and crafts his own completely-formed identity. Look. That’s not to say that the dude doesn’t have issues in spades. But he can talk to Hargreeves, interact with him at any stage in the game, and not have it shake his identity to the core. Both the trauma that he chooses and his own choice for responsibility and autonomy determines who Five becomes.

Diego

There’s a sequence from House, MD that I feel like sums up Diego’s reaction to the abuse quite nicely. House is late to his dad’s funeral and he explains to Wilson how punishing his (abusive) father was about punctuality. He explains that he is deliberately careless around time because he didn’t want to make his father’s issues HIS issues. And Wilson, incredulous, shoots back with, “Thereby MAKING it your issue!”

Yeah. That’s Diego. He defines himself in opposition to Hargreeves. And he even says so explicitly. He’s all about fighting crime, “the right way.” But he defines himself so in opposition to authority (and to people in general) that he gets kicked out of the police force and burns his first romantic relationship to ashes. He just can’t stop fighting.

Klaus

The addict. Addiction is a common response to abuse. And Klaus is a full-blown addict. A thief, willing to do anything and everything for his next score. He’ll injure himself, terrorize others, go dumpster diving, steal, defraud. Really there are no limits to what he’ll do. And yet we always feel he’s a sunshiney sweetheart right from the start. Even so, the “anything to score to escape my demons” is a keen literalization of the addiction response to abuse.

Viktor

The scapegoat

“Everything is always your fault.” This is the one who gets blamed for the family’s problems, who gets punished and punished and ignored. This is the one who is always in the wrong. And Viktor is such a great character in season 1 & 2 for this because he’s both reactions to that. He is the explosive anger, the rage and indignity. And he’s the one broken by any means necessary, heaped with family blame, with no sense of what he wants or who he is. And also, in s1, exceptionally vulnerable to an abuser masquerading as everything he ever wanted.

I just. It’s so multifaceted. It’s such a good exploration of abuse and this is only one sliver of that. TUA has its flaws, and I thought s3 was such a mixed bag, but this is one piece they just NAILED.

MORE REFS FOR SING TILL YOU CAN'T CHARACTERS!!

This time all of them are tall lol XD

Info under the cut (btw, some info about the rest of the characters (mainly their voice claims) were changed, I'll do something about it a bit later)

Charles and Barry are the King in the Human Realm - 2 out of 3, in fact. The rest of the characters on the ref sheet are the five Overlords of the End Realm, who rule next to Raff. They're all responsible for different things (I will say later) and of course, come from different realms too. Charles and Barry have personal beef with Tim, hahaha.

Charles Drew - Human - he/him - Pansexual - 27 y.o - The King of Clubs. He is one of the Kings in the Human Realm. - (Inspired by: Thomas Jefferson from Hamilton Musical, Vox from Hazbin Hotel, Sammy Lawrence from BatIM) - Voice Claim (for now): Christian Borle

Bartholomew Brachet (Barry) - Human - he/they/she - Asexual - 30 y.o - The King of Spades. Rules the Human Realm along with Charles and another King. Mostly acts as scary dog privilege. - (Inspired by: Maui from Moana, Repair Androids from Doctor Who (The Girl in the Fireplace) ((very specific, I know))) - Voice Claim (for now): Black Gryph0n

Zachary - Ziz/Gryphon - she/he - Lesbian - 20 y.o - The Lady of the Word. The youngest of the Overlords in the End Realm, who's responsible for the people and is their voice. She was banished from the Occult Realm, but not even she knows why. - (Inspired by: me, to be fair) - Voice Claim (for now): Penelope Scott

Chantal - Gargoyle - he/him - Straight - 40 y.o - The Lord of the Earth. The oldest of the Overlords in the End Realm who's responsible for everything on the ground (agriculture, for example). Left the Occult Realm by himself. - (Inspired by: no one, I think. (maybe a bit of Lucifer from Hazbin Hotel went into his behavior haha)) - Voice Claim (for now): Jeremy Jordan

Delmar - A spirit - she/her - Straight - 37 y.o - The Lady of the Seas. One of the Overlords in the End Realm, who's responsible for everything in the Seas. She's also Master to all Sea/Water Fairies. Was banished from the Void Realm for going against the rulers (might've killed someone). - (Inspired by: La Llorona, Ballora from FNaF) - Voice Claim (for now): Carmen Goett

Gua-Yin Hsü - Ghost (previously Angel) - she/he/they - Aroace - 38 y.o - The Lady of the Dead. The most mysterious (and tallest) Overlord, who's responsible for the Dead. People in the End Realm cannot escape by simply dying. Was banished from the Ether Realm but used to be a ruler there. - (Inspited by: Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy in Chinese folk religion, as well as King Yan, the God of Death; Queen Angela from She-Ra) - No voice claim yet, but I take requests!

Caelus - Angel (by this universe's definition) - he/him - Bisexual - 35 y.o - The Lord of the Sky. The Overlord who is responsible for everything in the sky (duh). Was banished from the Ether Realm alongside Gua-Yin Hsü and ruled that realm alongside her. - (No real inspiration, but pls don't compare him to Amon from My Movie 14, it's a coincidence that they look kinda similar T_T) - Voice Claim: Benjamin Stuart Steele

Little Wing, chapter 6

“Cloppy,” said Cas, firmly.  “Her name is Cloppy.  She’s my horsey.”

Carlos ruffled Cas’s hair. “Of course she is.  And if you want, she can go in a special horsey bath so she’s all clean.”

Cas patted his hair back into place, frowning.  “She might not like that.”

“Bring her up to the house later, and you can watch her go around and around in the washer.”  He stood up.  “I mean it - we’re up the path just past the parking lot.  Come up later and you can do whatever laundry you have.”

“Thanks,” said Dean.  “We’ll do that.”  Shit.  Laundry.  When he just wanted to lie down and chill the fuck out.  And maybe even sleep.  For a change.

Carlos left, and Dean dumped his load of treasure outside the hut, arms aching, especially the injured one which was stiff and sore.  Cas’s gaze was fixed on Carlos’ departing back.  “Cloppy isn’t laundwy,” he said crossly.  “And I don’t fink she wants to go awound and awound.”

Uff.  Laundry and a battle to be fought.  His arm twinged sharply as he picked up the surfboard.  “Well Cloppy ain’t going anywhere near your bed if she don’t get washed up,” said Dean.  “So think on that before you kick up a fuss.” 

Cas humphed and kicked his legs in the sand, carving out a hollow beneath his chair, Cloppy clutched to his chest.

Now Dean was being a bitch.  Cas was just a little kid.  Jack would be pissed with Dean if he knew he was being a mean bastard.  But Jack was God, so of course he knew.  He’d probably be here any minute to pick Cas up and take him somewhere else, where he’d be looked after better. 

Dean leant the surfboard against the side of the hut.  He set the big bucket just outside the door and left the small bucket and the spades inside it.

Cas clutched his stuffed horse-thing and whispered to it.

Huh.  It was just like when Sammy had that tattered old stuffed rabbit.  What had that thing’s name been?  Carrots.  Typical Sammy, naming his toy after a vegetable.  He’d screeched like a banshee whenever Dean had shoved it in the washer along with the clothes.  

Bunnies can’t swim, you jerk!  Little Sam had kicked him hard, and he’d had a bruise on his shin for more than a week.

Sure they can swim, bitch.  Just you’re too stupid to read Watership Down or you’d know that.  He’d had to hide that one from Dad.  Reading a book about talking rabbits?  Dad would have freaked.  Dean smirked at the memory.  Carrots could’ve won an Olympic gold in swimming, the amount of times he’d had to be washed.
