god ok. fanfic related things to be normal about (psst pssst my ao3 is were_woof . btw. if you were wondering.)
good omens fic on the way. its a rewrite of the confession requested by my darling lover
midnight sun …. rdr2 fic bc im normal. that one is honestly just me rewriting the entire game. the first chapter is already out and its been out i just need to work on the second ch💔💔
and then. And Then. i was thinking about either doing a last of us fic. or perhaps an ofmd fic. it depends on when my rdr fixation ends lets be honest here
Unfortunately I wasn't able to go to Tombstone Redemption this year 💔 but I still wanted to make gifts for each of the actresses on the panel! I picked a quote and an item that I felt represented each of their characters and then created design around it (the abundance of flowers is simply because I enjoy making them lol)
(counterclockwise starting at the bottom right- Tilly, Sadie, Grimshaw, Mary-Beth and Karen)
I know I'm missing a few! I still have ideas for Abigail, Molly & Mary (technically the set isn't complete yet). However, I decided to focus on these characters first, since their actresses were part of the Tombstone lineup. And thank you SO MUCH to @arthur-kilgore for taking everything with them & gifting it on my behalf ♥️
Details & close ups under the cut!
Tilly Jackson: "That's Mrs. Tilly to you"
(please ignore the water patch - it was still drying)
The necklace was her item request in the game, and I loved the contrast her quote showed (& thank you @big-boah for helping me decide ♥️). There was such a great difference between the last time we saw her in chapter 6 and when John finds her again in the epilogue. Her obvious joy is amazing and exactly what Arthur wanted for her.
Karen Jones: "I just want someone to see me"
The bottle represents her struggle with loss & drink, and the quote was spoken in a moment of vulnerability with Sean. This is one of my favorite quotes to come from the entire game, actually. Karen is normally viewed as a determined and tough character, as one of the only women to actively do guard duty, but we briefly saw behind that mask. The reality of her inner struggles, even before Sean's death, was heartbreaking.
Mary-Beth: "Try... try to do the good thing"
The book is obviously to show Mary-Beth's ambitions and eventual career as a novelist. Her optimism always seemed genuine in the face of the gang's terrible circumstances, but not blindly so. Her words to Arthur during the gang's final stages felt like a great representation of her character.
Susan Grimshaw: "My camp, my rules"
The heart is supposed to show how much love she held for the gang, even behind a mask of anger. The entire scene where she forces Arthur to wash is both hilarious and insightful. You can tell it's her form of care - rules equal safety. When she says "my camp" she really means "my family"
Sadie Adler: "I ain't no scullion!"
I wanted something that represented the first spark of fight we saw in her, which, for me, was during her fight with Pearson in chapter 3. She asserts her role in the gang, wielding both experience and determination. The passion, anger and pain in the face of her grief is one of the reasons I love her character so much.
arthur lester THE funniest horror protag. my guy finds himself partially possessed by an eldritch horror that wants to use him as a vessel for violence except 5 minutes in and said eldritch horror is the one trying to talk him down from murdering a man
Warren picks Guinness immediately. He stutters a bit, but it’s what he wants. He’s almost surprised that he says it, but it's not because it’s not his usual order- it IS his usual order. That’s likely why he’s so shocked. He hasn’t gotten his usual order in so long. He was stuck with supplements, frozen meals and old pizza, along with terrible tea or instant coffee- for months at this point. Guinness might’ve been his favorite for different reasons before, but now, it’s his favorite because he missed it.
Bryony’s much more confusing and interesting. Shiraz is originally referred to as an Iranian city, Shiraz, and the wine produced there, but that is context from ages ago. Currently, it’s a slang term to refer to wine produced by the Syrah grape, grown in mostly America, Australia and New Zealand. Its very acidic, very chocolatey and has dark flavors as a dark red wine. It’s not popular in the UK, which could be a hint towards Bryony’s background- she might not have grown up in the UK. It could be a taste preference, sure, but it could mean she’s from a region where Syrah (or Shiraz) is more popular, like the U.S., France, or Oceania.
Malcolm is an old soul. Scotch is a very popular drink among those in the UK and Malcolm does not oppose traditionalism in that sense. He’s probably been drinking it all his life and doesn’t plan on changing it now. It’s also very possible that he was, in fact, several drinks ahead of the others at the table as Bryony noted. Not much to say there other than Malcolm loves scotch and scotch loves him right back. It is, however, interesting to note that he knew the pairings for shiraz and insisted he also have a glass (as well as everyone else at the table). He’s either an alcoholic or a connoisseur.
Francesca’s drink order suits her character absolutely perfectly. The meeting at the Boat and Bridger, while in a rustic and hospitable setting, was completely professional and work-focused. The hesitation in her voice before she answers indicates she was tempted to join her colleagues in drinking during the meeting, but she decided against it. Francesca is now acting director, in a meeting with Malcolm Landry who was the previous acting director and Warren Godby, a scientific breakthrough. She needs to be at her absolute best during this meeting and no matter how mad Malcolm acts or how frustrated she gets with the sadistic Bryony, her mind must be clear and alert, and she knows that. I absolutely adore Fran.
Hester. Poor Hester. I didn't even know she was there until she spoke, they all overlooked her and barely addressed her throughout the entire meeting, only bothering to talk to her when she had something to offer. Bryony seemed interested in her when she finally recognized her existence, but before then, it seemed like no one even noticed she was there. We don’t know what she would have order, if she would have, even, because Clive’s eagerness to show off got in the way. God, these people are dicks.
