Okay, but hear me out...
Michael Becket was able to resist Alma Wade because he was not attracted to women. 😏
Aight. I'll see myself out.
As I'm experiencing severe fandom block at the moment (I have literally nothing to draw, I'm empty, no fandom, no pairing, no nothing!), I try to find some inspiration (alas, in vain!) in my old fandoms like F.E.A.R. series. Earlier this year I've finished F.E.A.R. 3 again for, like, the 4th time or something, and still enjoyed the game a lot.
So yep, Paxton Fettel and Michael Becket. Actually, I've created the whole story about Fettel 'saving' the ghost of Becket for himself to play with after Becket's body is destroyed, but blah, who cares about it anyways, so just enjoy some lineart.
Your thoughts on Michael Becket from F.E.A.R. 2?
First impression: “haha, his nickname’s Bucket.”
Impression now: a giant teddy bear of a man who deserved so much better and must be protected at all costs. Apparently even from his own canon.
Favorite moment: I always liked the intro to FEAR 2, where you can run around setting off car alarms, playing in the water fountain, etc. and Becket’s squadmates will snark about it.
Idea for a story: I’d like to see a redone / alternate universe version of the third game that might allow him to take a more active, independent role in the story. Maybe you could use that plot to tie up some of the remaining loose ends (read: missing characters, like Genevieve “Karma Houdini” Aristide) from the second game, too.
Unpopular opinion: I don’t really know what most fans think of Becket, so…hm. I guess my interest in keeping him alive and not hastily written off in an incredibly anti-climactic fashion is unpopular with the writers.
Favorite relationship: I mean, there aren’t a bunch of really well-developed / explored relationships in FEAR 2, but I guess I’d have to say I like his relationship with Keira Stokes the best.
Also, top secret message to @whirly-wind: his brotp / “it’s complicated, okay” with Molly from TWDG is totally my favorite too.
Favorite headcanon: that he’s still alive and, if not today, will one day be doing okay. FEAR 3 is invited to meet me outside for a fight over this.
This one was made for Winter Temporary Fandom Kombat as well.
I love you, Becket.
I love the non-existent relationship between Paxton and Becket because on one side you've got the science experiment specifically born and raised to be a psychic commander and on the other side you've got some guy who was forced to go through the program meant to speedrun the whole "psychic commander-making" process and like idk I love to seriously think about it in depth and think about the possibilities and I love the possession scene except for how it ended because wow I sure love seeing the game acknowledge that Becket is a powerful psionic even though he doesn't even know it by making him fight Paxton's possession and occasionally take back control of his body like it's all very very cool and interesting but sometimes my brain just goes "haha Paxton, you sure seem to enjoy being inside this guy a lot" and I don't know.

He needs a warm blanket, a hug, a good night sleep and all the happiness in the world (and also a lot of therapy).
