(Part 2) (Book)
IDs in alt, copied below the cut.
The first of five digital drawings of the narrators and subjects of Within the Wires. The narrators are on the right of each image, and the subjects on the left, separated by a pale blue vertical line on a yellow backdrop. A green wire twirls throughout each image, starting from Oleta's headphones.
Oleta has her back pressed up to the divide with her eyes closed, listening to her headphones. Hester has her hand pressed against the divide and is smiling wistfully at Oleta.
Roimata and Claudia stand back to back, with Roimata turned slightly towards the viewer and Claudia turned slightly away, hiding her face. Roimata is frowning with her eyes downcast.
Michael sits in the foreground with his face resting in one hand, smiling as he fiddles with his fountain pen in the other. In the background, Amy stands pouring coffee, glaring at him.
Freya cups Sigrid's face in her hand, smiling brightly at her. Although their bodies are faced together, Sigrid's head is turned towards the viewer, avoiding Freya's eyes and looking towards the viewer as if for help.
Gwen and Indra are almost back-to-back, but Indra is slightly more turned towards the viewer while Gwen is in profile. Indra is smiling as she talks into her flip phone, looking off to the side, while Gwen is looking back at Indra and smiling, holding her sunglasses in one hand.
people are being really harsh on indra, i think you just have to remember that we're hearing her character development backwards? the first we heard of her was the most mature she's been all season because.. episode 1 took place several years after episode 2
it’s a bit early to be putting down headcanons about s5 folks’ appearances, but.... well, that’s what i’ve done. indra was just calling to me idk what to tell you
[id: a digital drawing of Indra from Within the Wires. she is a South Asian woman with medium-brown skin, dark brown eyes, and a slightly hooked nose with a silver ring through her right nostril. her hair is long and dark brown with coloured streaks of red, orange, and indigo through it, and it is gathered messily into an orange claw clip at the back with two strands framing her face at the front. she is in 3/4 view turned towards the (viewer’s) right and looking into the top right corner of the image with a fond smile, appearing to be in the middle of speaking. there is a circular speech bubble with a red heart inside it coming from her mouth. her shoulders are visible, and she has her right shoulder up, using it to hold her dark grey flip phone to her ear. her shirt is purple, and the background of the image is yellow. /end id]
I’m really loving this season of Within the Wires. The background drama of all her memories, the accents, the fucking way of thinking of this season’s MC being so Millenial-Gen Z. I fucking love it.
