the resounding answer is: not well. whoever was responsible for cutting this, i’m in your walls.

benthan nation, how are we feeling?

The Mission: Impossible movies are so fun because they're spy-based action movies so you figure the main character is going to be this big macho tough guy and then you watch the movies and he's just this sad wet kitten who doesn't want his friends to die

relax, we’re not gonna take him from you.

lol i hate today’s era of absolutely zero nuance takes. a friend didn’t behave exactly as you’d wanted them to? cut them off. a guy didn’t text you back instantly bc he has his own life? he’s just giving you breadcrumbs. doing something makes you uncomfortable? don’t do it anymore. someone isn’t instantly available for you? disinterest. just absolutist statements that often don’t apply to the multilayer situations of everyday life. like. stop. literally just stop it

Benji and Ethan love each other so much.

So... ever since I saw Top Gun: Maverick, it has reignited my love of Tom Cruise and in turn jump started my fandom drive exactly where it left off-- which, for those keeping track, was 4 years ago in the Mission Impossible Fandom.

I'm planning on a story (It's only two chapters but nearing 10K) and maybe some art for the upcoming @benthan-week-2022 Benthan week in August, but pretty much every single thing that's coming out for the prompts is extremely angsty, with massive amounts of hurt and blood and emotional turmoil. So, yeah, exactly on par with with all the stuff I tend to write.

But I wanted to put something out there that wasn't fraught with violence and pain so that's the long-winded explanation of this drawing.

Because I've been really enjoying this fandom a lot and I wanted to contribute. I think I've read 70% of the Benji Dunn/Ethan Hunt tag on AO3. (If you've contributed on there, you've definitely got a kudos and maybe a comment from me.) I'd love to connect with other fans and am hopeful that others will participate this year!

This was drawn with reference and color palette inspired by Sara Kipin. (I'm totally obsessed with Tom Cruise's longish hair right now, so Ethan has that instead of the cropped look he's been rocking in the MI:7 stills.)
