#and a guest appearance of

[nocek]

hi~~? I'm still alive. I guess. Sorry for the (I'm afraid to check how long) radio silence >.< I've been busy with some fun stuff (d&d kittens will be posted soon ;) then overwhelmed with my regular job but also I took well deserved break in Sicily which was awesome.

Art wise, I'm at a weird point. Spiderverse fixation still kinda holds? but also I'm too unmotivated as fuck to draw anything. Even if I have ideas for at least 2 comics.

But I finally watched Thunderbolts few days ago and I really liked it! I'm not fixated on it yet but I have few comic ideas so fingers crossed that with bigger, newer fandom there will be like a some feedback and thus motivation will come >.<

anyway, sadness rambling aside. I have complicated feelings about Red Guardian. I mean I love him but also he is a little bit too much? So this comic will be mine a little bit different take on the first post credits scene. Sponsored mostly by my need to see more domestic interactions between the new avengerz ;P

MORAL: There was a Sewer Man

If there isn't a kunikidazai interaction in the next few chapters I will RIOT

Bonus:

[shen-jius-zoloft-prescription]

Modern AU equivalent of "bodysharing" scumcum where Shen Jiu is the Cang Qiong VP, director of the Qing Jing division, who fought tooth and nail to work his way up in the world despite a destitute childhood and criminal youth, and Shen Yuan is his useless rich boyfriend who spends all day reading light novels and getting into fights on the internet. (Hey, that's how they met! How romantic!)

One day, Shen Jiu has another qi deviation severe PTSD episode; what's different this time around is that, for once, Shen Yuan manages to convince him to take mental health time off work. He says he'll handle it, whatever that means! And Shen Jiu, for once, isn't suspicious, hypervigilant, distrustful enough to question it. He's having a really bad time, okay?!

But Shen Yuan didn't really think it through. What's he supposed to do, tell Yue Qi that Shen Jiu is out for a few days? Shen Jiu will kill him, and then Yue Qi will storm the preposterously expensive and exclusive mental health retreat Shen Yuan put Shen Jiu up in perfectly normal and reasonable outpatient facility, and then Shen Jiu will kill him again.

So, okay, he logs into Shen Jiu's work laptop (his passwords are all the same and so obvious, puh-lease) and he maybe starts just... pretending to be Shen Jiu. Just while he's away! Just to keep people from getting suspicious that Shen Jiu is gone!

And if he notices that Shen Jiu has been maybe... not handling some of his subordinates very well, then... Listen! There is someone who's on a really aggressive and punitive PIP that doesn't look like deserves it. (Let's remove that performance plan, and give him a merit bonus to make up for it... and let's put him on a better assignment, too, we're just making things right! Poor kid!) It also looks like a bunch of stuff in this division is being handled really poorly in general, actually. Figures, Jiu-ge is a brat at the best of times and really fucking mean and jealous at the worst. Maybe he'll have fewer qi deviations mental health crises if comes back this time to an environment that's not cultivating as much bitterness and negativity as possible, ah??

Meanwhile, at the most infuriatingly new-age uwu bullshit daycare for the richest of sad people, Shen Jiu sneaks away to where the cameras and automated surveillance systems (Hello, esteemed guest! This System must insist that you do not try sneaking out the marked emergency exit doors...!) to pull out the work phone he managed to smuggle in, and...

What the absolute fuck?! There is only on person who both knows his password (ugh) and knows his general writing style (ugh!!) who would be stealing his identity to meddle in his work!

The next several days are spent with Shen Yuan and Shen Jiu logging each other out in turns, and desperately trying to undo the damage the other has caused in their brief moments of control.

Yes, this does continue even after Shen Jiu returns from his mental health retreat. If nothing else, it keeps the Qing Jing division on its toes, and massively confuses one intern Luo Binghe. (The signals. are mixed.)

(Only Shang Qinghua knows what's up, but he's not saying jack shit because he is 100% committing identity fraud himself. “Shang Qinghua” is the name of a dead man with a good credit score, no debts, and no ties to the criminal underworld or warrants for his arrest, so, you know, “it's free real estate” or whatever. "He's dead! He's not using it anymore! It's fine!")

Get married, do crimes. That's how it works, right?

Had to get one more meme-inspired scribble out of my system. :)

[cheekinpermission]

imagine some random dude is hitting on Erin, and grim just spawns behind her like 'nuh uh'.

Eddie to Steve: Do you know how to pick locks?

Steve scoffed and pulled a bobby pin out of his hair.

Steve: Of course, I do. Do you?

Eddie: Would if I could. . .what other secrets do you hold in your hair?

Steve: Yeah, you have to be a higher level to unlock that information.

Eddie: You can NOT talk to me like that when I'm like this.

Steve: So. . .how did you end up handcuffed naked in bed?

Eddie: That's, uh, classified.

Steve: I just need the name of who left you like this so I know who to kill.

Eddie: Yeah, I think she gave me a fake name. I'm just glad it was you who found me and not -

BANG! The sound of Eddie's front door blowing open startled them both then Eddie's bedroom opened as Dustin burst through.

Dustin: EDDIE! I heard you were in trou - OH!

Eddie was still lying naked on the bed, Steve was kneeling on it, just having unlocked the cuffs. The handcuffs were dangling from his fingers. Dustin, eyes wide, quickly backed out and closed the door behind him.

Eddie: Well. . .that will teach him to knock.

Steve: Yeah, yeah, it definitely will. . .So, I know some people who wouldn't do this to you. . .

Eddie: Too bad Aragorn and Galadriel are fictional characters.

Steve: *scoffs* Also, Galadriel is married to Celeborn.

Eddie: *covering himself* You can't keep speaking to me like this or else I'm going to think you're flirting with me.

Steve: *scoffs* Yeah, it's almost like that's what I've been trying to do for the last year.

Eddie: What?!

Steve: Apparently, I have a thing for clueless nerds who I have to save from certain death and also. . .sticky situations.

Eddie: *cackles* You have terrible taste in men.

They should reboot DS9 but instead of like resolving or explaining anything further it's just Benjamin Sisko having a little cooking show after returning to Bajor.
