Since Jagger had to be on the Ned Kelly set the day of Brian’s funeral in London, he felt he had a built-in excuse for not paying his last respects. Only Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts, out of the scores of people affiliated with the Stones organization, bothered to attend Brian’s memorial service.

i think he found family and home in the enemies of Pheonix Drop when he was sent away.
if we’re following the medivial knight training process, he was sent away at 7 years old to become a page and start his training as a guard, and came back when he was 21 and knighted. its mentioned multiple times that dale is a drunk, and that he sent Brian away as soon as he was old enough to start training to become a knight. I doubt Brian saw this as a loving act from his father who was excited to share a passion of his with his son, but rather as a way to get Brian off his and mollys hands so Dale could continue to indulge in drinking.
When Brian does come back, im sure he is happy to be back to the place where he was born and grew up in for a handful of years, but by the time he is home Molly and Dale have had another kid, Alexis, who Dale is consistently there for and quits drinking for, especially after the whole shadow knight incident. Alexis has the father Brian never had, which i think ultimately makes Brian feel bitter and discarded, thus turning to the friends and family he had made in his time at the guard academy, which ultimately ended in his betrayal.
its also mentioned by Donna that Molly told her that Brian came back different, that ‘her baby boy wasent the same when he came back than when he went away’ and i think thats bc of two reasons, one, brian most likely grew up. he isnt a kid anymore, he isnt a baby. hes at least a teenager and at most a full grown adult by the time he came back. i think he also holds resentment towards his family, specifically his dad, and pheonix drop, that he keeps to himself with a tight lipped smile.
that last scene in the qaf finale was painful. we get a voiceover of michael talking about how some things should never change and the show decided that very much included brian. we then get him dancing in babylon to beat us over the head with the idea that nothing has changed at its core. but everything has in that moment. everything had changed for seasons. with everyone dancing "the way it should be" brian was the only one who didn't fit in that scene, yet there he was smack in the middle of it all
this wasn't growth, it wasn't poetic, it was a poorly written ending
[ID: a Shaking Hands meme, edited so the arm on the left is labeled “Me,” the arm on the right is labeled “Drumbot Brian,” and the clasped hands are labeled “Being unable to ever be a ‘good person’ due to the ‘good intentions’ of a parental figure.” End ID]
i havent watched the doc but it’s all over my fyp so i know everything…and good lord. brian peck’s charges are actually INSANE. 16 months is not enough that mfer needs to be locked up for LIFE. that’s the least he deserves
There are two wolves inside me: one wants 0 responsabilities and doing things in the easiest way; the other feels completely worthless when no responsability is given because it means I'm an idiot and mediocre.
I keep a list of every Fic/AU idea I have for different fandoms in my notes app and there’s a lot in the Marble Hornets one (95 if you want to be specific, though some are discarded) and sometimes I read through them to determine which ones I want to make, right? And there’s a solid string of fic concepts where I basically kept going, “Yeah what if I fucked up Alex Kralie Specifically?” Because I was in the mood for Alex Whump for like, a hot minute and it shows.
Arvale really likes to take a spin on existing clichés and tropes, and here's one of them!
Malzubed The Fire Dragon who doesn't like the heat and enjoys chilling in his forest. Which IS actually a forest you can visit in Arvale Short Tales!! Unfortunately only playable on pocket PC...
Dragons, particularly fire dragons, are not the type of creature one would associate with prosperity and green nature, but here we have one who has an entire forest named after him.
In the good ending you actually see him in (presumably) his forest when Duncan gives him a visit =] Which I find so neat...
Apologies for the crunchy quality, but I don't upload high resolution art anymore. ^^; This is an oil painting BTW.
