*looking at myself in the mirror*

Fanfiction is supposed to be cringy. You're allowed to write bad. You're allowed to be cringe. Fanfiction is supposed to be self indulgent. You're allowed to be cringe. Let yourself be cringe. Fanfiction is supposed to be fun. Stop putting arbitrary rules on yourself and be free.

another one of my favourite scenes of stefan, and it's such a small scene, is in the hallway near the start of the naked city case where at first he kindly motions the way for cole towards the crime scene, but when roy walks by in his two hundred dollar suit, he bows down and gestures the way for roy dramatically, and roy can only roll his eyes, and something about him not even actually commenting about it either? like for once he's the one who's just plain sick of the tomfoolery. bekowsky the man you are. only one of them has the patience to be petty and it's not roy.

leary who has such a bad temper, he gets so outrageously mad so easily, but can immediately see straight when it comes to what's best for stefan and cole. shout out to leary for being the only character in the game to withstand roy earle's rage baiting.

the curse of having a background character with barely any screen time become one of your favourite little guys to think about is a hard one to bear.

aaaand my past is right behind me isnt it

roycole really scratches an itch in my brain sometimes. roy's a terrible person, the world is trash and everyone is evil and then one day there's this blonde man with eyes that reflect the light in such a way it reminds him of the moon on the sea, and all of a sudden maybe it would be worth fighting for things again without such malicious intentions because after so long he has found someone who is brave enough to want to fight past the lies and injustice of their superiors, head on, instead of taking things slow, and meticulously working their way up to the top like roy does; taking advantage of the weak so as to be level with the rich and evil, in order to be considered somewhat important. so roy spends countless nights pacing his apartment chain smoking. this beautiful man needs to die PRONTO, otherwise he's going to take everyone down with him.

unfortunately i am weak for roy realising that if he is strategic enough he can be safe again but it feels like such a big risk to try and untangle himself from the mess he has created so he just needs to get cole killed it is the only option. unless.

the best thing about leary being the sweetest captain is that he's gonna say the most obscenely foul shit you have ever heard in your life

Kinda messy colored 'sketches' of Traffic Man & that one guy from L.A. Noire

Intending to get more detailed with these but I wanted to get their color palettes in order, I guess.

I swear I'm still working on Traffic for the rewrite. I'm just engaging on a little casual tomfoolery on the side. Maybe not a little, but you know... I'm keeping Jack & Cole's other partners secret for now. You'll get to see them when they're cleaned up and more detailed.

Oh yeah, also, I'm aware Stefan canonically has blue eyes. But so many characters in that game have blue eyes. So let me have this.

i'd love to figure out a nice little slice of life fic to write about for marty one day because it's been like nearly two years and i'm still not over him frankly. chapter 10 didn't end like that and he does in fact get older and he has a really nice car he looks after well, and he's a great fucking driver. the ebpd HATE him, even though he isn't even all that particularly bad of a kid. he sticks to racing on tracks for the most part-you know, in light of seeing his life flash before his eyes-but when he doesn't he's engaging in drag races and street races for the love of the game. he's joe and vito's little bro, and after a few years of practice, the perfect getaway driver.

i just love the dynamic that vito and joe, perhaps more specifically joe, realise marty's all grown up. he's witty and always claps back to their remarks, and he can actually drive. he's a little shit. not a single scratch on his paint job. and someone, not naming names, doesn't leave joe's ride looking the same way.

i would love to play mafia 2 again because it has been forever, and i've been thinking about henry on and off lately, but I don't think i'm ready to deal with the ending again. i don't want to lay my eyes on chapter 13. i think about this game and its characters and i just start thinking about all that was cut, and how the game was rushed to met a deadline, and all of the lost potential in this stupid as fuck game cut the camera

[henrysfedora]

and for the first time in all the fandoms i've been in there isn't a single fic for a certain character i like on ao3.

do yall ever think about sarah being alone in this big house in the suburbs with two children, no husband, a dead family, no friends, and not even a neighbor to turn to, or is that only me ??

when tommy is in prison, sarah had to move into a sort of “witness protection” type ordeal, right? and to avoid any social stigma as a ‘single, unwed, mother’, sarah keeps her wedding ring on.

when her neighbors ask about her husband, she shows them a picture of tommy, but says he works late nights and sleeps during the day. when ww2 starts, she uses the draft as an excuse for why he’s never home. when the war ends, she says he’s in a hospital recovering. she keeps up different lies until he’s finally home, and makes their reunion public in their front yard.

however, because she’s in witness protection, detective norman stays in and out of her house checking on her, at all hours of the day. and her nosiest neighbor knows that man leaving in the morning isn’t her husband. and you know how bored housewives talk… how the rumor mill starts turning…

yes i think leary is to bekowsky what leo was to vito regarding teaching their adopted son to fight like their lives depend on it. you listen to me because everyone else is stupid and full of rage - you are also stupid and full of rage, but i care about you and don't want you to die.

also i feel like leo and gordon share the same level of disappointment towards joe and cole respectively. like yes they're your bestest friend of all time ever but they're going to get you killed and/or they are involving you with people who are no good, and could get you killed. maybe it's for the best that you'll never see your friend again. though leo would be the brave one to say that out loud.

leary liked cole, he's not ecstatic he's dead, but there is a sense of relief there. and leo actually saw his and frank's friendship in joe and vito's. but leo and gordon do not want to see the potential they helped create go towards nothing. they have been in this line of work for years.

leary will be damned bekowsky dies before he does. and leo is just. trying to clean up an absolute clusterfuck of a mess. but it's because they care.
