yes that's the same hat, i abused the fuck out of the photoshop Warp and Distort tools plus some clone stamping
Heems gets a bonus cameo and I wish I could use him in the story but that wavers too RPF-y for my fragile tastes
i know this looks like an alien life form but really it's the crest of House Organa yes really
look at this Good Boy! he is too Good to really be K2
this Good Boy is absolutely sarcastic enough to be K2. also i specifically envision his coloring more like this. SNOOT
i think deer are lovely but also delicious, i can't not think about eating them when i see them, it's ridiculous
god he's so gloriously Brooding, this is Jeron
and then this is Cassian being a goofball but actually underneath still ready to kill you
i see a lot of this in my daily life and it's hard to romanticize but god i'm trying
i love and hate the giant yellow plows, really i do
To make up for all my boring healthcare saga posts I’m going to put up the contents of the Google Image Search folder I made before my maiden attempt at a fic cover yesterday. Here’s my Sled Dog Guy Google Images Search Aesthetic photo post! Done in true Awful Person fashion, I have no credits for any of these, because I was just poking through Image Search, but– I mean, they’re all still there, if you want to use one I’m sure you can find where it’s from.

I was sad I couldn’t get the photo of the deer in the woods into the fic cover anywhere, but that moment in the fic (halfway thru this chapter) was such a fleeting moment of beauty in the otherwise dreary background that it really wasn’t as representative as having an icy windshield image instead. I also wanted to use the great shot of the echelon plow formation on the Thruway, which is straight off NYSThruway’s Twitter account, and which i’ve witnessed firsthand and you never really get over the awe, but that hasn’t actually happened in the story so it’s irrelevant. It’s just aesthetic as hell. 

There’s a tiny possible hint to the plot development with the hideous knitwear.

Here’s my filthy secret though: I haven’t totally worked out what the plot point actually is. I have a vague concept of the shape of it, and all my vague imaginings have failed to fill in any concrete details of the shape of it. 

I JUST HAD AN IDEA OMG see that’s why we do these. Also my brain knows I have to go get on that Thruway today and is trying to come up with ways to avoid that out of sheer self-defense.

And I don’t mean to imply, up there, (in the captions, i wrote captions) that Jeron and Cassian are different people. They’re just characters, both played by the same guy. Jeron is what the roommates and the boss and everyone know him as, on the left there, all brooding and scary. 

I’m actually remembering a Dick Francis novel, I think, with Cassian’s characterization– my mom was a mystery nut and I read a ton of those books when I was a voracious adolescent. One of the books, the main character was supposed to be undercover, and he did very well at it except that there was one girl who was kind to him, and he liked her, and so he let some of his real personality slip through, let on that he was smart, and he wasn’t even really trying to flirt, he just couldn’t resist having a real conversation with her, a human connection. And it didn’t prove disastrous, and I don’t remember exactly what the upshot was but I think her suspicion that he wasn’t what he seemed wound up saving him somehow, though I might just be filling that in. (I’ll never find the book again, but I vaguely recall that the reason he went undercover was to get money to support his teenage sister’s schooling or something, it was very heartwarming and also managed to be Macho, Dick Francis was super good at that.) (They were mystery novels about horses, what do you want from me, I was a human teenaged girl.)
