somft post series domesticity my beloved 💕
forever making each other tea and telling stories in space
image description: an inked traditional drawing of Bell and Gwen holding hands and mugs of tea. They're bith wearing glasses and overalls with tool belts on them. Bell has a messy bob haircut and is smiling slightly. Gwen has wavy cheek length hair and seems to be talking. ID end.
Post series Bell and Gwen (whether on purpose or not) abso-fucking-lutely laid the groundwork for what'd be one of the first new settlement worlds to try and lobby for independence from the conglomerate or whatever that sent them to settle it.
I'm not saying it necessarily happens in their lifetimes, but like their planet cedes itself and everyone is like "eh whatever, their funeral" only to be like "wait, this isn't what was meant to happen" after they open trade with Drift and Mikail's planet and end up a thriving little Planetary Republic.
The fact that Gwen waited till after she had the beginnings of a plan to prison break Bell before she told them she loved them. Like Gwen how long have you know and not said anything because you didn't think you would ever see them??? and when Bell was saying don't lock your heart up in this cell but Gwen says my heart can live wherever it goddamn pleases because she doesn't think her heart will be in that cell for very long and just yess
big fan of scoutmaster bell summers!!!!
thinking about this bell summers line bc (1) it's funny as hell, but (2) that's actually their whole thing, isn't it? they're not a big picture thinker, they're not a lofty idealist, they don't care about people they haven't met bc they just don't think about them. they're too busy thinking about and caring so so deeply everyone that has crossed their path, reminding gwen to eat and troubleshooting nguyen's ship problems and covering mikhail's tracks and securing demmaline's books and watching over priyanka as a favor to her uncle at first, im sure, but im equally sure that now they do it for her because they met her and now they care. they can't help it
