Thunderbolts quick sketch 2
It's fun to joke about Bucky out of place as a congressman. But I can't agree with that. This guy is a menace! Yeah. He's not killing people and (maybe?) he's not hacking/tracking their devices. But he's sneaking around in corners where the cameras can't see. Playing his spy games. Scaring the shit out of his colleagues. Trying to recruit other people's followers. He doesn't do the job as it should be done and interferes with others doing it as they are accustomed to. And his co-worker Gary is noticeably so done with it. Read the packets! The poor guy is on the verge of swearing.
Can someone explain to a Russian-speaker what the hell is going on with surnames? Russian is a very gendered language in general. So most surnames have different endings for the male and female bearers. As an example, my surname is Ovchinnikova. But my father (obviously a male) is Ovchinnikov. See the pattern? The feminine forms of the surname often have this -a at the end. Then there is this westernized -ff ending. I assume that families moving to English-speaking countries change this -v/-va ending to -ff for both genders to avoid confusion. So what is going on here? Why do Natasha Romanoff and Melina Vostokoff have a westernized -ff ending instead of being Vostokova and Romanova. And yet Shostakov and Dreykov have normal male-gendered -v endings. And Yelena Belova has the correct feminine -va ending, not the Westernized gender-neutral -ff ending. But Antonia Dreykov has the gendered-masculine -v ending! This all makes no sense to me at all. I guess this is just another "Хотел Борис" case)
Let's talk about the fact that Bucky stole the Chitauri handcuffs from Val`s event. He didn't even know yet that he was going to catch these guys. Didn't know Who even work for Val. He just went and stole this thing because he was annoyed that his co-worker this Gary guy wouldn't listen to him.
TFATWS thoughts.
I came back to the fandom years later and found that some people have rather mixed opinions about Karly and Sam's stance on her. Which some people find hypocritical. I can agree that the TV show did a pretty poor job of emphasizing the Flagsmashers motivation. But it seemed so obvious to me what happened. From an economic standpoint. What do you think happened when half the population disappeared? Businesses lost half their employees. Half their customers. They would have to cut their production in half. But then would they be able to afford their space and equipment? The economy would collapse if these people weren't replaced. Production would suffer greatly. It wasn't necessarily the useless, uneducated poor people who moved to rich countries as migrants. The richer countries simply vacuumed up everyone they needed from countries with a even a little lower quality of life. And for these people, it wasn't just a matter of moving to a better place. It was a race to get to a place that would last. Because I'm sure that the economies of countries that couldn't attract enough people were destroyed. Even a small local business can't survive if there are too few buyers for their products. So in a way, richer countries Cannibalized economies of the weaker ones. In a time of crisis and chaos. And when the people erased by Thanos returned, the government wanted to send back the people they attracted to save their economy. But do they send them back to their home as they left it? No. In a few years, it turned into a poor semi-medieval society. And it will take decades to somehow fix it. The authorities used these people and wanted to throw them out when they were no longer needed. They were victims of the situation. And that's why Sam sympathized with Karly's ideas. And asked not to call her a terrorist. I've seen more than enough people call Sam a hypocrite on this. (mostly on my side of the fandom. I'm not sure if there are many with these ideas on the English-speaking side) And it's just so stupid. But at the same time, his lecturing the government seems a bit unfair. Because he's not offering a solution to the problem. And the problem is really complicated. Just "being better" isn't really an answer. And it won't help provide people with housing, jobs, and food. And the TV series did a really bad job of communicating the problem itself. So some people saw the displaced people as just invaders of other people's places. Ugh. Does it really require much knowledge of History and Economics to imagine what happened after half the population disappeared? And I'll add the TB* tag. Because I feel like that misunderstanding adds a little bit of negativity to Sam's position. Sorry.
I almost didn't notice Ava on my first watch. The others are just so much louder. (Bucky is quiet too. But oh well. It's Bucky.) But now I see that Ava is a pretty good character in the group.
Just watch her! She vibes!
She listens to everyone's stories without the amounts of malice and cringe that the others do. She smiles. Unsure but not negatively when Alexei says heroic shit. She teams up with Yelena to laugh at Walker.
Yeah. She killed that mercenary. But after the others helped her escape - she had no qualms about helping them in return. Her story about Bob is the most incoherent. She just mumbles.
She looks really interested. She even bends to peek from behind the Red Guardian.. She has that little tentative smile when she agrees to give it a try. And she goes with it!
No selfishness. No overthinking. She is the first to jump and run to help Yelena without even understanding where she is going. She is often in the frame with someone. Nodding their heads together. Always looking at the reaction of others. And she looks the most scared in front of journalists.
An unsocialized girl just wants to be a part of something. And when this something was offered to her even in the form of this crazy group, she clutched it with both hands. She is way too relaxed with the murders though))
I'm thinking about while Yelena was just hugging Bob in the scene where he was fighting the Void, John grabbed his arm to stop him.
I think it's good that they chose this character to do this. The one who killed a man in a fit of rage.

Ok, I love this family.
Random Thunderbolts* thought
I'll be one rare person who loved the "Congressman Bucky" arc. The main antagonist was Valentina and the character played on her field. Politics. Bucky was obviously not on her level. He was just experienced in something else. But his work was not for nothing. Access to "high society" gave him access to Valentina's circle. And he used it to recruit her assistant. Sort of. And that's how he got information on where to get evidence against Valentina. And he got his evidence. In the form of the other four characters. Lol.
And I wasn't annoyed at the "BOB!" scene. I don't think Bucky was playing dumb. I think he was weighing if these guys were really invested in this "Bob" guy enough to do something against Valentina instead of running away.
And in the end, I can't say that Valentina won this game cleanly. Bucky could have turned the tables. Use his status as a congressman and the "evidence" that was right there (like five of them!). Win this semi-political game and impeach Valentina.
But that would be the price of setting up the people who had just saved the city next to him. To say that they are not heroes. Just physical evidence of Valentina's actions.
What I'm trying to say is that Bucky didn't win not because he's bad at politics. But because he's a decent person who cares about others.
I don't think this arc was stupid or unnecessary, I think it just didn't have enough screen time to show the character's decisions more clearly.
AU idea
Ok. Imagine Dishonored 2. But Delilah didn't turn Corvo into stone. She wants all of Jessamine's favorite toys. She trapped his consciousness in a picture of better days. Where Jessamine is still alive. She is Jessamine. And Emily, trying to play against Delilah, is just a dangerous assassin. Imagine Emily fleeing Dunwall not just from a coup but from death itself. Corvo in his mask is chasing the girl. And he is absolutely invincible at the beginning of the game. Emily will have a chance only in the final. When she becomes much more experienced. And Corvo will begin to doubt the justice of his task. Of course, if Emily does not turn Karnaca into chaos. If she is a monster then Lord Protector will have no reason to listen to her. And Emily will have to fight her father to the death before getting to Delilah.
Dishonored Sketches
I haven't drawn in too long. What a shame. I completed the 1st Dishonored again))
Ok. I haven't posted for a long time) I modeled a new androgynous female body. (Yes, this is another 3D printed doll) I can't help but think about making a Lady Oscar doll on this base. And also here is a video of the shoulder joint functionality.
I realized that I never posted her here.
Her name is Elain. And she's my 3D printed MSD girl.
