I intend to be your last

Hi! I'm Carmen, 31 years old, Italian, fundamentally obsessed with a TON of fandoms, in particular Dragon Age, BG3, Call of Duty and recently Resident Evil, working on my 3D skills to bring to life my original characters and stories.

[ginygmb]

In my mind I was supposed to finish my DAO project like three days ago, but since Activision decided to drop the new Modern Warfare 4 trailer I KNEW I had to go back to the COD rabbithole to make something with my OCs, so here's the first one (I don't know if it'll be the last - I debated a lot about posting it since I was afraid of legal implications and in the end told be that I'll simply take it down if someone asks me to -, but I'd like to make it a series with my other Original Characters). Meet Elena O'Riordan, my former REME mechanic and currently SAS Staff Sergeant, part of TF 141 as field and support operator. She's part of an alternative version of MW Reboot series where Soap actually survives (because like hell I'm going to accept that half assed and nonsensical death of his) and she's also the main character of a COD AU I'm planning/trying to write that crosses over with Resident Evil (basically, short haired Elena: COD Post MW3 - long haired Elena: COD Pre MW3/RE).

Disclaimer: This is a non-commercial, personal fanart project. The character is made and rendered by me in Daz3D, then composited in Photoshop. "Call of Duty" and the "Modern Warfare" logo are registered trademarks of Activision. No copyright infringement intended.

CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE IV (2026)

[ginygmb]

Took a trip down memory lane and after an year and a half elbow deep in the COD fandom working on my OCs and more recently in the Resident Evil one I went back to my most loved one of all times: Dragon Age. The idea was to work on my Inquisitor (the very first character I ever made in the franchise since DAI was my fist game of the series), but life had other plans and here it comes my beloved Hero of Ferelden, Lady Cousland. In my canon playthrough (that I never finished because somehow my saves got corrupted, but I have her ending all planned out) from the DA Keep she's supposed to be a Human Noble Rogue, but I distinctly remember her as a Dual Wielder Warrior, so I suppose I'll just replay the game that way once I finish with my summer session at Uni. As for the name, she obviously has one, but I'm not entirely convinced by it (it was given when I was younger and probably didn't want to call her the same as my Inky that was created before her), so I may end up chancing it in the future. This render is a bit more "complete" than the ones I usually do, with a background and a bit of postwork in Photoshop (just a simple coloring that I thought matched the DAO atmosphere), so I have to say that I'm pretty proud of it and I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do! ☺⤸

Okay, after literally YEARS, I decided to come back! However I'll probably revamp the blog and I doubt I'll post/repost the same things I did when I started it. Klaroline will always be a big part of me and if it weren't for them I would have probably never started working on my english and language degree in general, but my interests have shifted during these last 10 years and I've moved on to "bigger and happier things" that actually give me joy, more than KC did in the last period was active in the fandom. Those of you who followed me for it have probably stopped doing it a long time ago I'm sure, but if not and you intend to after this announcement, just know that it's totally fine, no hard feelings whatsoever ☺️ I'll always treasure the earlier days forever and this is the main reason why I don't want to do an entire new blog for whatever comes next, I want to keep those memories. If after all this you'll still keep following me, let me just say that for the time being the blog will probably be a mix of Dragon Age/Resident Evil/Call Of Duty (maybe some BG3) stuff since in the last two years (more like 12 years for Dragon Age...) I've been completely focused on these fandoms and started working on my 3D skills with the intent to make my OCs and stories come to life, so... welcome back, I suppose? 😅 So yeah, I'm back, b*tches! Love you all 😘❤️

that kind of anxiety that's not a panic attack but just a constantly racing heart and the feeling that you did something wrong or that something isn't right is just plain awful

Oh my god. This may legit be the first time I’ve actually connected to an autistic character. Well, maybe the first male. Like...he’s so well done! I called it from his first scene, but he doesn’t reveal it til s2. But he’s...smart? A CEO? But he’s not a stereotype! He’s a good boss to the best of his ability. He’s not like....an ass who just gets away with it because he’s autistic. And he’s only a side character, so we don’t see a lot of him, but what we do see is really great rep.

The show is Good Trouble. It’s a spin off of The Fosters, but you can watch it without seeing the first.

In fact, I’ll probably keep posting about this show cause the amount of rep they are doing and doing well??? Incredible.

I know there are a couple shows staring autistic characters, but from what I’ve read, it’s not as authentic. This is. Watch it. Hulu.

Also, T.J. Linnard did a superb job with him!

fuck, that scene between Mariana and Evan on the roof in last night’s Good Trouble hit me hard. I’m glad that they both admitted their feelings and agreed not to act on them at this time, it was absolutely the right call. Just the way Cierra Ramirez shows absolute vulnerability in Mariana in that moment, and how her eyes are shining with tears as she turns to walk away hurt my soul. But it absolutely felt like a gut punch when Evan decides to say, “So these feelings? We just don’t feel them anymore?” And then Mariana turns around to answer him, and you just see the tears welling up in her eyes as she says, “We can’t.” TJ Linnard knocked it out of the park. And Evan looks gutted and so very sad as he walks away, and Mariana looks the same, and then there’s me, absolutely winded and hurting from the magnitude of the talent of these two amazing actors.

I’ve waited for Evan and Mariana for so long!!! I feel like the “im so used to giving now I get to receive” gif

BUT I truly hope that any feelings Mariana had for Raj are gone cause Imma be real pissed if season 3 starts off with her feeling guilty about sleeping with Evan just cause she wanted to get back at Raj and Isabella

And I know some people may not feel them or their age difference but I feel like Mariana should be with someone older, and even when she’s with him she turns into a more mature version
