You know that the initials of Tommy, Swank and Benny can be shortened to BTS and I thinks it’s more than a coincidence that I’ve never seen them and BTS in a room at the same time…

Seven is a lucky number: Year 1 - 1/3

Previous | First | Next

(Ramblings under the cut)

Finally! A new part! I finished drawing this ages ago but then I procrastinated with translating. Sorry about that!

This part is based on this Benny quote:

"When House gave us the Tops to renovate, his robots dropped off boxes full of suits and ties and wingtip shoes. --"

Well here getting the Tops and receiving boxes didn't happen simultaniously, some time has passed since events of previous comic. Nobody is even wearing necklaces anymore after what happened. And Benny's hair has grown longer. His style changed for three reasons: 1. It's more practical than the look he had in previous part. 2. I thought it would look cute. 3. You'll see later ;)

Boot Riders are now cleaning up the Strip. The other Families might or might not be there already. I'm undecided on that one. Any thoughts? But spoilers: they don't show up in this part.

Appreciate the first panel, it took ages to draw! Also appreciate the funny background event between panels 2 and 3.

While I was drawing original 'Seven is a lucky number' comic it bothered me that securitrons were so static. They aren't the most flexible robots but still their poses were just boring! So here I tried to make them bit more dynamic, best shown in panel where Benny and House dance. On unrelated note House is casually horrible with his "like civilized people" comment, Swank doesn't approve and neither do many other Boot Riders. Meanwhile Benny is too dazzled to care.

i love that if you ask Tommy what he thinks of Benny his answer basically boils down to ‘he’s shady as hell and doesn’t have a musical bone in his body but he’s an alright dude’ and then gossips about him if you pass a speech check.

Ok so we know you love Benny (rightfully so, I mean look at the man) but do you have any thoughts on the other Chairmen? Swank and Tommy specifically?

I have so many thoughts on the Vegas families but even more on the Chairmen just because of how unique their position is.

Like to start off, I have mentioned and still fully believe the Chairmen are the most paranoid and distrusting of all of the Vegas families. You can get sucked into many personal dramas and plights when it comes to the other Vegas Families; Quest-lines that get you super involved with their inner workings and pasts, ergo, quest-lines like Beyond the Beef and How Little We Know. Other than the very little side quest we get from Tommy, where you don’t even out in a good word for the Aces Theater for the talent recruits, your very boxed out with the Chairmen.

While the other families are more curious and intrigued by the NCR and Legion tensions rising, House being killed and other things, the Chairmen are always paranoid, concerned and negative. They mention wanting to leave like in the old days but can’t drop the act. They don’t mention anything that isn’t in a way that relates back to them and it tells how little they wish to or do interact with those outside the family. Swank mentions how he doesn’t trust the other families and the sentiments are shared with Tommy who discourages you from seeing the other sights. They are probably not purposely isolating themselves but they keep to their own. I only think this is extrapolated by House favoring Benny as a successor and possibly more restrictions on them. They were the first family and likely the prototype of whatever is detailed in their contracts. House was not as lenient as he is now, taking Swank referring to House’s rules into account.

Specifically about Tommy and Swank is interesting. Tommy feels like he’s older to me, not like more mature but he’s been around to see how far the Boot-Riders changed into the Chairmen. He’s not like an old guy either but older than Swank and Benny. I like to think he’s a middle ground to Swank and Benny, where Benny is the idealist, Swank is the nihilist and he’s there realist. You gotta real with people when you work in entertainment. He has a keen eye and can tell when things aren’t right but doesn’t jump out of his lane, not without provocation that is. In relation to Benny, I think Tommy’s like a snide older brother type guy. He rips on Benny cause the guy is so obsessed with not being seen as a tribal anymore but Tommy of all people can see when someone is playing too much into a bit. Benny keeps him close cause he keeps him real.

Swank is described in universe by House as being dependable but unimaginative. I don’t think that’s fully the case but he isn’t the person to push things in my eyes either. He has complaints but he does what he’s asked of and is loyal. More of a “Are you sure” Man than a “Yes” Man. I don’t think he sees the best in the people around him but prefers to see them as static. I take this with how hard it is to convince him that Benny is a traitor and how he seems shocked you are so ready to kill him. Things run a certain why and it’s why he likes that. It’s why he’s so good a managing The Tops. He wants things to run smooth and easy and everyone to be having a time. He’s the type to struggle with a shift in change at first but then forget why when the new song and dance start to come naturally. He plays the part just like Benny but also reminds him of what they came from. He’s his most trusted advisor and friend keeps him in focus.

This is all personal opinion and just a quick run down of it. But I hope I answered at least some of what you asked:p

Drawing finished 👍👍

There's context for this. The context is Swank calling Bingo's defeat/death dumb luck. He is. Offended. And also 17. And not very physically imposing. But metaphorically imposing!
