But when you win, you expect some kind of reward... and there isn't any.”

[ID: A traditionally drawn and digitally colored drawing of Fedallah, Starbuck, and Ahab genderbent as women and wearing out-of-era outfits. Fedallah is a lean older middle-aged Persian woman with a light mustache, wearing a Zoroastrian headscarf, a white button down shirt with a black fashion harness belted over her torso. She wears black pants with four brass buttons on each side. She is smiling coyly and standing with her hip slightly cocked. Starbuck is a thin and buff middle aged white woman with short, wavy hair, freckles, and a light mustache. She is wearing a small jean vest over dress pants. The vest shows her stomach, which has a lightly visible happy trail, and the wrappings of a chest binder beneath. Starbuck is standing rigidly with her arms behind her back, looking off neutrally to the side. Ahab is a fat and buff older middle-aged Persian woman with curly graying hair in a bun, and scars over her face and body, including a lightning scar over the left side of her face. She is wearing a tight black dress with a deep v-neck that ties back behind her neck. She is standing with a neutral expression and holding a harpoon in one hand as she looks at the other two women.

Next there are three photos of the live performers: Danielle McKnight, a thin Black woman with shoulder-length curly hair wearing the same outfit as Fedallah without the headscarf, Courtney Basset, a thin white woman with chest-length straight auburn hair wearing the same outfit as Starbuck, and Grace McLean, a thin white woman with shoulder-length brown hair wearing the same outfit as Ahab. Danielle sings into a mic with a hand extended, looking sternly down over at Ahab. Courtney sings with a smile, holding her mic to her chest. Grace is not singing, and is combing back her hair with both hands, eyes closed. End ID.]

been having what the kids call an Extremely Normal Time about the concept album Kill The Whale* lately so I decided to draw my butch/genderbent designs of the characters in the outfits their album counterparts wear in the live show. im so fukcign gay 😀👍

*For any who don't know, Kill The Whale is a concept musical album based on MobyDick that genderbends much of the crew! There's a love triangle between Starbuck, Ahab, and Fedallah (with some incredible nuances about Fedallah being exotified/fetishized for her prophecies and then her later taking back control of herself). It is very wlw and fascinatingly composed. However comma there are also Extensive Critiques on this as an adaptation of MD (particularly in reference to racebending and really altering character narratives) so. proceed with awareness! i will be saying more later lol

EDIT: Thank you so much to the folks who caught that I had Danielle's name wrong!!!! I owe you my life!!!! 🙏

Thank you for coming to my post

[superfluouskeys]

NOTE: please do NOT select "other" to indicate any character from The Prisoner -- that poll has come and gone! This is the even-more-niche poll I made for my own enjoyment and this is my one request!!

If you want to read about Adrienne, she features in most of my FFXIV works, but I think this, this, and this give pretty good insight into her character (just the individual one-shot chapters not the whole thing!!!!)

If you want to read about Senna and Abigail, that's here!

If you want to read about Tamsin and Althea you'll have to root around in my blog and pray (jk it's at least mildly organized here! moving it to a wordpress blog soon)

If you want to read about Raya, she features in this!

Sorry to my readers that I haven't been writing like at all this week. Somehow I have become the type of person that has a social life

[starswallowingsea]

okay god i'm gonna throw a plot synopsis i have worked out for the steampunk (kuro)nazuna fic because otherwise it's gonna get deeply buried in mine n lis' dms and i'm gonna lose it

so the more i think about it the more i feel like its just gonna be an ex-valk study so i dont want to start it even until i have read the fundamental ex-valk stories u know? but based on what i have pieced together i think this would work out thematically and everything.

basically shu is a doll-maker's apprentice or just an apprentice of some sort of carpenter or something who also makes dolls/automatons and shu is fascinated by them idk that's a detail i can iron out later. he becomes obsessed with creating the perfect doll with this face mold he finds that is nazuna's ultimate face mold and theres like a whole uh. whats it called. like the timelapse or whatever of shu building the doll and meticulously building it and bc its steampunk theres a little magic involved to make it move and be able to do what he wants it to do.

however shu doesn't have the greatest control over his magic and totally did not tell his master that he was doing this like a typical 15yo boy so now nazuna is accidentally sentient but cant talk and just puts up with shu's demands bc he has nothing else to do but it starts getting worse as shu demands perfection from him because he's a doll he should be perfect obviously but nazuna knows that he has gears out of place or whatever he can't be perfect that's how things are but shu can't see that even as nazuna is falling apart at the seams.

kuro is a tailor's apprentice down the street and provides some of the textiles/cloth to shu's master every week and has started taking notice of nazuna and asked shu about him one week and shu was like oh this is a doll i've made i'm trying to make him perfect but kuro can see right through what shu cant bc of his rose tinted shades and that nazuna is falling apart but he doesn't really know what to do about it. nazuna notices this and waves to kuro when he comes in and kuro will talk to him for a little bit and they start getting along really well.

eventually nazuna has had enough though he's literally holding himself together by sheer willpower and storms out on shu one night and its raining for dramatic effect and nazuna doesn't know where to go because the doll-maker's shop has been his whole world up until this point and ends up breaking down in front of kuro's master's shop where he gets taken in and they get him all fixed up enough that he can move at least.

i kind of want to end it with wataru stumbling in after hearing about the automaton/doll that works as a tailor's apprentice and wanting to bring nazuna to help get the circus' automatons/dolls to perform and its the rest of ra*bits but this would be like an epilogue kind of thing.

mika would also come up at some point in here idk if i want mika to be human and jealous of nazuna for being a doll/automaton and therefore able to keep going continually or if mika is going to be a second doll/automaton. haven't entirely decided yet but i will cross that bridge when i get there i guess considering i probably wont actually write this for a while, if at all. but anyway i've been rotating this in my mind like its a michael wave and i need to let it out somewhere so. tell me ur thoughts mayhaps.
