Making cliché fan art for a 20 year old canceled tv show? Don't mind if I do.

12 year old me watching hoban washburne get hole punched out of nowhere

[waywardwizzard]

He was 19 the first time he saw the stars.

The clunky old ship slowly started up, the high pitched whine of the engines filling Wash's ears until he thought he could feel it rattling in his bones, turning them to dust.

Settling deeper into the corner of the small and dusty cargo hold, hidden behind crates of coal, Wash pulled a worn star chart of Earth-that-was out of his backpack, running reverent fingers over the faded constellation lines.

This was his chance to see them, the lights that haunted his dreams. To finally see them up there, in the flesh, not just in the old star charts and shitty art the spacers brought to trade at market. For the first time in his life, Wash would be able to see if the stories the travelers told were true.

Footsteps echoed outside the hold, and Wash panicked, throwing the edge of a nearby tarp over himself and - ew, was that grease? Why was it greasy?

They paused at the door, and Wash held his breath. Please don't find him, please please please -

The ship rose with a shudder and the footsteps stalked away, raised voices echoing around the hold, their words unintelligible.

Letting out a slow breath, Wash threw the tarp off and watched with unseeing eyes as the vaguely yellow smog of Huángsè dragged by.

In his mind's eyes he could picture the ship's cockpit, the buttons and switches, the way the pilot would gently have to coax the ship up and through the thick layer of soupy atmosphere that haunted his waking nightmares...

The ship broke atmo with a jump, rocking Wash out of his reverie, and levelled out, the last bit of Huángsè smog pulling away from the window with an almost audible snap.

The moment it cleared, it took everything in Wash not to cry.

Stars. So many stars, for as far as the eye could see. Thousands, millions, billions - hell, whatever was bigger than billions - of stars glittered and gleamed, winking at him against the blackness of space.

Where the diamonds back home shined in their deadness, the stars shined in their shear aliveness.

He was never going back. Not when it was so much better up here than he'd ever thought it would be.

Author's note-

*Rocks up like it hasn't been months since I last posted* Hi tjommies!

This has been in my drafts since May. It was mainly inspired by a stargazing thing (complete with a star chart) we did at a Con, but a lot of other stuff contributed. Long story short, I had ~feelings~ and decided Wash should also have them

(And yes, I know this goes against Wash's actual backstory, but by the time I found out I was too lazy to change anything, lol)

(Also, small Serenitea update for those interested: I'm halfway in terms of the WIPBigBang word count, and I'm only where Mal makes a deal with Patience episode wise.)

🎵YOU CAN'T TAKE THE SKY FROM ME!

So, I finished Firefly the other day and am just now getting to posting about it. I had started a draft while I was on like episode 8, but never got to publishing it.

My thoughts on and related to Firefly:

NATHAN FILLION

So, this is the show the internet is mad about. WELL, ME TOO!

Theme song ingrained in my brain within 3 episodes. Like, I felt like I knew it from a past life and couldn't remember the words but I knew it with my soul, type of ingrained. I studied the theme hard so I could sing along with it during the short time I watched the show.

(At episode 6) I like this show. Mentally I know this show is short. Emotionally I am just now getting deeply invested and setting myself up for heartbreak.

I need to go back and watch all the other Nathan Fillion things I have watched and look for all the references to Firefly that I missed.

(On the last episode and after the show) Gorram you Fox! Even Swiper has more decency than you!

In examining my own preferences of steampunky themes and apparently cop shows (Can't wait for Rookie season 7), I now need a steampunk cop show.

Having watched Warehouse 13 and The Librarians directly before watching Firefly, and seeing how well Fillion plays the aloof, loyal, caring, can't-keep-his-hands-off-the-really-cool/shiny-and-probably-dangerous-artifact type characters, I now need an Indiana Jones type adventure, but with Nathan Fillion. Infinite bonus if it has Alan Tudyk, Gina Torres, Adam Baldwyn, Jewel Staite, and Morena Baccarin starring in it. I would also love if Sean Maher, and especially Summer Glau could also come back. I really want to see Summer in a not mentally ill role, but she mostly does bit parts in stuff that I am not really interested in.

Individual thoughts *SPOILERS*:

Jayne needs to start thinking with his brain, and not the thing between his legs.

I absolutely LOVE when Mal threatens Jayne after he tried to sell River to the Fed's. "You turn on any of my crew, you turn on me" and "Next time you stab me in the back, have the guts to do it to my face" are beautiful quotes that I will be making a part of my personality despite not having a ship, crew, or having been stabbed in the back

It's interesting to see what aspects of Fillion's personality go with him from character to character. From Mal, to Castle, Cayde-6, and John Nolan. They all care deeply about their crew even if they aren't really good with showing affection, and I can tell that Nathan cares about his people too.

I haven't watched the movie yet. I have it, I just haven't watched it. I've also heard bad things about it. But, I plan to watch it anyway. If it ends poorly I will absolutely be making a headcanon.

I wish so bad that it had lasted longer, but alas, 14 fantabulous episodes, a movie, and our imaginations is all that we have.

Also, does anyone know of any good Firefly fanfics? I would love to read them.

[erraticsketchings]

I do a yearly Firefly Marathon where I invite people over to watch the whole show and the movie. I decided this year that people should get a prize for coming and/or making it to the end. So, I made these sticker designs for that purpose.

I think I'm going to put them on RedBubble
