I JUST REALISED I NEVER POSTED ABOUT SEEING ASSASSINS LAST YEAR ANYWAY HERE ARE SOME OF MY FAVOURITE DETAILS (in no particular order

BOOTH STARTED IN THE AUDIENCE. Okay so I was sitting on the second row, right? And like, they did the first song, and Booth wasn't there, and when they do the "hey gang, look who's here" bit, its Prop noticing him in the audience. And from behind us, I hear "you want me up there?" and all the assassins start cheering and beckoning him up, and he goes "no, no, i'm just here to watch" and they all keep cheering and he kind of sighed and was like "oh, okay" and just GOT OUT OF A SEAT AND WALKED UP THE AISLE AND CLIMBED ONTO THE STAGE.

and then when he shot lincoln, he swung himself down the stairs off the stage and ran back up the aisle, and the "sic semper tyrannis" wasn't yelled by him, it was yelled by all of the other assassins. which was just. a really cool parallel to oswald.

oswald firing the shot at JFK was done really well. like, the other assassins kind of literally FORCED HIM. like, fromme and booth were holding the gun steady so he couldn't move it, and guiteau was holding his arms.

Moore was incredible during the gun song. as always. just. emptied her bag by throwing the things that she didn't want and therefore forcing guiteau and the others to keep ducking out of the way of flying objects. apart from the shoe, which she gave to guiteau. and he just held. and then when booth confiscated her gun, guiteau gave her the shoe back and she was just waving a shoe for the rest of the song.

Back to Oswald, they had two different people playing Oswald and the Balladeer, and the death of the balladeer was like, they tore her instrument off her and started ripping the petticoats out of her outfit and forced her offstage, and then the guy playing Oswald was the guy who was the bartender in the saloon, so Booth reaches over the bar, grabs him by the front of his shirt, drags him OVER THE BAR, THROWS HIM TO THE STAGE AND RIPS HIS DRESS-SHIRT OFF HIM, TO REVEAL HE'S WEARING LEE'S TSHIRT UNDERNEATH.

When Oswald tried to flee from the assassins, Booth chased him up and down the aisle and back up onto the stage, and Guiteau had to hold Booth back from attacking Lee when he was calling him a vacuous vapid non-entity. Like, Lee was kinda curled up on the stage and Booth was standing over him SCREAMING and the others had to hold him back.

Lee was killed at the end of Something Just Broke, they did the famous photo shot, and then the lights went out, and when they came back up they were back in the carnival and Lee was like, freaking out and patting himself down where he'd been shot (which has like, so many intriguing implications im OBSESSED.)

Booth did kiss Prop, which I am willing to accept only because Prop also had immense sexual tension with Squeaky (she had all of the guns on her person, and the one that she gave to Squeaky was in a thigh holster and she made squeaky take it OUT of the holster herself and they were very up in each others spaces about it.)

Booth stole the Balladeers banjo during the ballad of booth because the balladeer was pissing him off. Also Booths death was done by the balladeer shooting him and dragging his body off-stage rather than him shooting himself.

FROMME KEPT TRYING TO PICKPOCKET MOORE DURING THEIR SCENES TOGETHER. AND SHE WAS NOT SUBTLE AND MOORE ABSOLUTLEY NOTICED BUT SHE JUST KEPT TRYING.

How I Saved Roosevelt was done so cleverly, like, the actual song was done by Zangara forcing his way through the crowds, and during the bystanders versus they would step in front of him, so in his verses he was just running back and forth across the stage trying to get in front of the cameras but there was always a bystander in his way.

they hung guiteau from the ferris wheel in the carnival. not particularly important but the imagery was haunting.

the proprietor playing like, davey and emma goldman and the accomplicaces/people related to the assassins was so clever because it really leant into the temptation aspect of the character and i very much enjoyed it, because even when she was being goldman or davey or whoever, she was still also being the proprietor.

The Adventures of Steve and Orphan 47-60. With probably an extra one in the middle due to the 'pandora's box' originally being just one picture. I thought it was funnier this way though, so that's how it is now. Also- caption for the last picure-

"Eventually Steve simply settled for being happy that his Master had returned. He didn't exactly see why the nice person was making Master drink so much, but it smelled vaguely like meat, so at least he wasn't eating grass. Which seemed to be a weird preference of some humans. The rescue attempt may not have worked out how they planned it to, but with Master back all was well. Steve certainly wasn't going to let him leave alone next time. He wasn't planning on letting Master out of his sight. At least not for a while yet"

The draft for this story was made after Technoblade's prison stream with dream when the topic of Steve coming to rescue them came up. So my draft didn't extend past them getting out. I was gonna do something along the lines of 'the three musketeers' for the Ranboo rescue mission, but then Technoblade died. I had potential plans for a 'Lazerknife' guy showing up, after watching some of Phil's streams, but decided against it since I didn't think I could do it justice. Anyway. This is where the story ends. Steve has his Master back, all is well. Other things may happen afterwards, but Master is invincible, so he will be fine. Just hopefully more inclined to take Steve along next time. And maybe Orphan. The kid's been getting pretty good these days. Steve is beginning to doubt if he will ever get taller, but Orphan is Steve's apprentice, so it ought to happen at some point.

The Adventures of Steve and Orphan 31-46.

Because it fits like this. *dons sunglasses. HEH >:D

Anyway. Big art improvement here, I had an artistic break-through of sorts, and it's kind of obvious, but that's just how life happens I guess. Eh. The main character's still the same so that's enough consistency I reckon.

There are a couple of kind of non-sequitur's in here, but since I did this over an extended period of time, I probably just didn't bother leading with a directly correlating narration line, since some of these were drawn like, a week/month or so apart.

The Adventures of Steve and Orphan 28-30

Because they wouldn't post together with 16-27, probably due to the format. This works as a nice break up though, since the next section is noticeably different in terms of quality.

[luckanio]

And here we have The Adventures of Steve and Orphan, 16-27

I tried to get 16-30, but tumblr threw a fit, so I'm gonna post those three by themselves. :)

[luckanio]

Gonna put these in four segments, since I don't want to know what actually posting 30 pictures at once does to tumblr's image processing. This is pictures 1-15

one like and i draw drdi ranboo getting high on Weed

Technoblade grief is hitting again and I just wanna talk about it a bit somewhere so if you don’t wanna read about it, please scroll away. I’m not really writing this with the intention of anyone to read it anyways but I want it to be out there somewhere and just get it out.

I guess I just came to the realization that all this time I only mostly became ok with it because subconsciously it’s like I’m waiting for him and I am fine with waiting but it really just hit me to know that no matter what, he’s never coming back.

There are so many possibilities and so many variables and there’s so many chances for all the little things— like there’s a certain probability that my towel will fall to the floor when I close the door or there’s a certain probability that I’ll get a Rubik’s cube right if I keep twisting it around eventually or even a probability that I’ll get hit by lightning. The world is full of so many probabilities even if they are minuscule but never once in all of those probabilities is there a chance for him to be back even just once.

I always thought about how large infinity is but I thought about it in the sense of immortality or how big something would be— now I am thinking about it in the sense that I could wait and live for eternity and he still would never exist again. I could freeze myself and be thawed out in hundreds or thousands of years in the future and still he will be gone.

In my head things that were everlasting were always fictional. I associated it with things like vampires or hypotheticals like a hotel with infinite rooms that could never exist because infinity like that could never be real. It’s just hard to comprehend that death is the one thing that is everlasting and Technoblade is and will forever be dead. It still just doesn’t feel real.

It doesn’t matter what I do or how much I accomplish or change or what happens in the world, nothing will ever bring him back. I’m used to nothing really being permanent and it’s just taking a lot of time to swallow and come to terms with just how permanent death is.

I don’t know if I’ll ever fully process it.

You ever look at the rest of tumblr and go "they dont know about how tommyinnit (who at the time said he was straight) tricked his friend (who is a gay man) into marrying him and when his friend/husband found out (months later when he was joking about having a Vegas wedding with another friend and then Realised) he tried to get a divorce but tommy said no even though he has had a girlfriend the entire time and that then he wrote wattpad rpf fanfic about him and his friend/husband kissing (specifically with tongue) and his girlfriend dying and all the wrongs of the world being fixed. Now the divorce may be going to court and the friend/husband wants to try and stream the whole court case. Not only that but Tommy subsequently recorded an I'm just Ken parody about this marriage and most recently while Tommy was on a trip around America, back in England, his friend/husband started streaming more with Tommy's girlfriend (while in the midst of a 24/7 subathon stream he is currently over 45 days into) and bought her a new iphone so Tommy joked that he was being cucked. And now he's just come out as bicurious after his friend/husband tried to get him to say the f-slur on stream and his response was that he could only say a 1/5th of it before calling his husband a " 'ggott"." And this is all (probably) real. This is a real thing that happened.
