...😂

Anyways Faye and Spike have the absolute best dynamic: it's not romantic, it's not platonic, it's not unrequited. it's like two people met and liked each other and went let's skip dating, let's skip marriage as well, let's skip directly to divorce

Beboptober Day 18: Don’t Lose Me

Thanks to @thestarlightsymphony​ for the prompt list! I know, it looks like I’ve skipped Day 17, and…I kinda have (sorry!), but not permanently. I’ve just had the idea for this for a really long time, so I’ve decided to catch up and do Day 17 at some other point during the month, along with another prompt. It will lead to things being a little out of order, but what’s life without a little variety, right?

Oh, and credit where credit’s due—I think I got the idea of Faye keeping a journal at all from Chapter 4 of @beccanoodles’ one-shot collection “With Love, From Bebop” (read it here), although in that one, Ed takes it over!

Dear Diary,

Today some of my friends and I found a Betamax tape recorder, and we all decided to use it to record messages to our future selves. It was a little embarrassing at first! I kept getting shy and having to turn the camera off and start again. I guess it was hard to think of things to say to myself ten years from now. At first, all I could say was “Good morning,” and that made everyone laugh. I suppose part of the reason why it was easier for my friends is that they know exactly what they want to be, and they can see their future selves so clearly. Sara wants to be a vetrenarian veterinarian, Mei wants to work on Hyperspace Gates. But it’s hard for me to to imagine my future self.

Ten years from now I’ll be 22, almost 23. That seems so adult! I’ll be a newer version of myself—ten years older, ten years wiser—more mature, I hope. I guess I’ll have graduated from school & university and I’ll have a job, unless I decide to become a doctor or something and have to go to even more school (UGH) and do lots of math (UGGGGHHHH). But I guess my future self knows best—maybe I’d actually be a great doctor and I don’t know it yet. I really have no idea what I’ll be doing with my life that far in the future….For a while I thought maybe I wanted to be an actress, because it sounded like fun. But I sort of gave up on that dream after I was only cast as Villager #3 in the play this year. (Vivien says it’s just because Director Chen doesn’t see my talents, but I think she’s just saying that to make me feel better!) Whatever it is I’m doing in the future, though, I hope it’s something I like, not just something I’m pushed into or anything. I bet I’ll be great at it, especially with 10 more years of experience!

Oh, and I hope that I’ve traveled lots of places and seen lots of new sights by the time I’m 22! I especially want to go to space and see some other planets. I’ve been to a few places on Earth with my family—I told you about that trip to Tokyo earlier in this diary, and we’ve also been to London and New York and a few parts of Beijing—but I’ve never actually been on a rocket, not even one that’s just in orbit. Someday I’d like to see other planets, like Mars or the Moon. (The Moon’s not a planet but whatever.) I bet it will be easier to go there in the future and they’ll have more people and stuff on them, specially with all that Mei says about the new advancing tecknology technology of Hyperspace Gates. It all sounds so exciting!

But there are also some things I hope don’t change. Like I hope that, so far in the future, I still have my friends. I’d be so sad to lose them, even if we just fall out of touch, which Dad says might happen now that we’re all entering our first year of secondary school. Maybe I’ll make new friends, though, in addition to the ones I have already. Maybe ten years from now all of us can watch the tape and laugh and remember how we used to be.

I wonder if I’ll have a boyfriend?

Now that I’m writing this and I’ve recorded the tape, I think, most of all, I hope I don’t change too much—that I don’t lose the things that make me me. Yes, my future self may seem really foren foriegn (dang it) foreign to me now, but she’s really just me, just a little older. I hope she’s still the good things my friends and my parents say I am—compassionate, caring, creative. Plus 10 years of experience and growth and stuff, of course. I hope she’s happy and she has friends, and she’s doing okay. I really want that to look forward to when I’m grown up. When I’m her, I guess.

I thought about this a lot today after my friends left and I did the rest of the recording by myself. I even put on my cheerleading outfit and gave my future self a cheer I’d made up! It’s a little embarrassing, now that I think about it…but I was proud of it. I hope my future self will like it. Or at least that it will make her laugh.

I don’t know what exactly will happen in the future, or what my future self will be like. When she arrives on the scene, I won’t be here anymore. But she won’t totally have lost me. I’m here right now, and even ten years from today I’ll still be there on the tape we recorded today and, I guess, in this diary. And in memories. My future self will know I’m cheering for her, that I love her so much and look up to her (how mature she must be!) and want things to be okay for her. I hope she’s looking back in time and cheering for me, too.

 - Faye ♡

Today is the day! ^________^

(this one is pretty old, but I colored it anew, so...)

[beccanoodles]

HAha Yesss. That's the sad thing, I feel like this person is only making people dislike Julia more...

Dear citizens, our castle is under siege again

Flashmob idea: post Spike/Faye/Jet/Vicious/Andy/etc content using #see you space cowboy

Spike is for everyone. The smell of roses only should not block the scent of violets, daisies, lilies and other flowers

[beccanoodles]

Jet, after 3 days of radio silence pretending he's not worried: Too bad Faye and Spike aren't here to enjoy Faye and Spike not being here ha ha

[beccanoodles]

UPDATE

So...if you haven't noticed I've been on a Hiatus! It wasn't planned, but it just happened. I've gotten busy with things and I'm lacking some inspiration 😩 BUT y'all already know how it is. I know y'all are patient, just putting it out there (:

Thanks for following the story and blog thus far!! 💜

[beccanoodles]

what are your favourite spike headcanons?? :))) also your stuff is so good i am lIke shaking in my socks

Oh, thank you for this question! I have lots and lots of Spike-related headcanons and thoughts, but I'll name a few:

- First of all - Spike lives! ^__^

- That bloodbath he organized in Red Dragon's headquaters was about getting rid of his past and making way for the future

- Spike likes Faye tremendously, though he is not willing to show his appreciation... yet (it is not so much of a headcanon, to be honest, just canon, because Watanabe admits it himself)

- His jericho 941 was actually a birthday gift from Vicious who had a thing for all that 'brothers in arms' stuff. Spike had the heart to let go of it only after Vicious was dead

- Spike is a sweet tooth, though he would never admit it publically by ordering enormous dessert or something. So he basically puts tons of sugar in his coffee

- He is not religious, but he attends Shinto shrines from time to time. Local kamis, you know

- Spike is secretly afraid of trains 'cause he got lost on Chicago-9 subway when he was 6. He was so scared that he still sees trains and endless faceless crowds in his nightmares, poor little boy

Omg yesssss💖💖

When in doubt, draw Spike x Faye

[beccanoodles]

Classic.

That’s it. That’s their whole dynamic.

This is exactly something I've been thinking about for my Bebop analysis [that is collecting dust in the drafts 😭] too! I've noticed it seems like various views or tales are being said at different points of the show through the stories or the characters themselves. Which is why I feel like people who watch the show have a lot of different things to say about it. It's so cool how they did that and I think what you said about "not taking themselves too serious" is probably it. Just making sure it's the same characters, but letting everyone speak. Ugh the HUMAN aspect. Yet it's still cohesive enough. Awesome, love your analysis as always!

Why it’s pointless to try and club this amalgam of contradictory parts under any one given umbrella…or something like that…

The series is always telling a story and critiquing itself for telling that particular story at the same time. It’s showing characters, glorifying them, building them up, and then ridiculing them, pulling them back down simultaneously. It is not just one thing and it will never be. It is an amalgam of multiple conflicting aspects in the same manner as none of its characters are just one thing. They are people in the story and also giant metaphors and lessons at the same time. Which is why you will often see them acting very differently and inconsistently across episodes and you need to fit complementary parts together to figure out who they really are and what the actual running story is, eliminating what is just metaphorical or humorous fluff added to drive a point. Factor all of it in while trying to understand them and you’ll end up with a giant mess….[Contd…]

Wow thank you guys! That's so exciting 🙂

I wanted to write something for V-Day cause heyyy, it's Faye's day! But I'm not sure it'll get it out in time. However, I have always wanted to take requests! It doesn't have to be for Valentine's Day. It can be anything from romance to family to friendships to character studies or analysis! You tell me (:

This will be for drabbles/one-shots only (unless something happens to manifest). You can give me a scenario, a one liner, or whatever it is you want to see!

You know me for Cowboy Bebop and Spike x Faye, so feel free to ask for them or any other characters in the show. I've also been in a Lupin III zone lately, so if anyone does have a request for that, I would love to give it a go! My primary pairing is Lupin X Fujiko. Open to any characters from this show as well.

What I won't do:

-Explicit Smut [I don't mind writing around it or leading in to it, but I'm not really into being too detailed].

-Things like abuse or simply illegal/immoral acts.

-Unusual animal behavior or treatment.

My asks, messages, and comments are open!

Please send a request!! Thank you, look forward to it 😁💖
