Tested out my new acrylic markers by painting, obviously, our guy Neal @mattbomer ✨ I've layered color pencils on top of it . This is my first time using acrylic markers. Had fun doing this especially since, it's exam season lol. But I've got a good number of gap days in between each of my exams, so no worries hehe. I did not expect myself to be making this in the first place...idk what had gotten into me...

loveeee characters who think they're likable but not lovable. characters who know they have surface-level admirable or alluring traits and so make sure to highlight those traits so that nobody looks closer to see what's underneath. characters who know they're hot or clever or cool and use that as a suit of armor so that no one ever gets close to them, because when they strip bare and show their vulnerability they're not any of those things, which means they have nothing left to make up for who they inherently are

I'm not even gonna tag him. You all know who I'm thinking of.

I draw what I feel like drawing and now I feel like Neal and the guy in the baseball episode meeting again in Paris

I like it when characters are really close friends but theyre like. Bad at friendship. like theyre not great people . theyre not necessarily always good to each other. But they are friends!! Incredibly close friends at that!!!! They're Just Not GOOD At It

There's a tiktok meme about adding "sexy back" every time a character is on screen so. Here's "sexy back" every time Neal Caffrey is on screen

1.01 Peter Burke saying "we're not going to catch Caffrey using roadblocks and wanted posters" -> 1.08 Peter Burke saying his plan to catch Neal is "Set up roadblocks. Put up wanted posters."

I truly will never not be obsessed with this man and his obsession with Neal Caffrey

give me two characters who are each other’s home. two characters who feel completely safe, warm and protected in each other’s presence, and who are completely respected by the other. two people who, on some level or another, were missing that little extra spark they needed to feel fully confident and accepted as their whole selves until the other came along. they don’t “fix each other” or “make each other better”–they give the other the support they need to build on what was already inside them. sure they might kiss, or make goo-goo eyes, but they can also just…talk, and make each other laugh and smile, because for once they feel comfortable enough in themselves and with each other to be vulnerable in that way. two complete people who finally find someone to share all of themselves with. and no matter what they do or how far they go, they’ll always have each other to come back home to.

the White Collar s1 finale, man. nothing hits like neal telling peter he said goodbye to everyone but him because “you’re the only one who could change my mind,” before starting toward kate’s plane to leave forever— but then he turns around with tears in his eyes and voice full of emotion as he says “Peter,” and the hope that blooms in peter’s expression (before the plane explodes and he has to hold neal and shout “no, stay here,” and it’s what he wanted to say, but not like this)

[adventures-in-a-world-of-fiction]

I think it's interesting looking at the relationships on AO3 for the White Collar fandom. The show has two lead characters, Peter and Neal, who solve crime together and the focus of the show is on the close friendship between them as they figure out the case of the week.

So the top relationship is Peter & Neal with 2874 fics (& not /). Perfectly understandable and expected given the subject matter of the show.

Now I would expect the next relationship to be Peter/Neal. From every other fandom in existence that features two really close guys as partners at the heart of the show, I would expect that to take the second place spot, but it doesn't. Peter/Neal takes third place with 1760 fics.

Just nipping in above it with 1776 is Peter/Elizabeth, pairing Peter with his in-canon wife. So, so many fandoms would side-line the wife in favour of the slash pairing. But not here. Here, she is half of the second most common relationship.

And in fourth place, we get Peter/Neal/Elizabeth with 1294 fics.

There is a fandom where a significant number of the fans looked at the main characters and went, "So they're a throuple, right?" And, honestly, same.

I wish I could draw more than just two of them but it took 10 hours too long for a doodle so yeah here it is, my first fanart for the fandom

"he would not fucking say that" but about injuries. he would not fucking recover that quickly. those scars would not fucking heal like that. he would not be fucking able bodied after that. he would not be fully lucid after that.
