QUICK NO ONE'S LOOKING
(See readmore for thoughts, cope, bonus, etc.)
Anyone else up thinking about Ratio's big, strong, secure arms and how warm and all-consuming they could be in a hug or embrace. :/ Anyway
I just wanted to draw them being cute and seizing a sliver of a moment where they could have some PDA silly time without actually having any eyes on them. They're public figures and working adults with very clear boundaries between public persona and private life (to varying degrees of "in a sad way"), so while it may be in Aventurine's nature to constantly blur lines for various agendas and self-preservation (read: play "the flirt" without an aligned goal), I believe that in an actual relationship they'd be fairly private.
It's kind of fun to break your own rules, though! Ratio would be more upset about the consequences, though. He's a little bit of a hypocrite, which is devastating for someone of such discipline, but nobody's perfect.
I'm of the mentality of, "If you're tired of working on it, then just post it!", so here are some fun peripherals that I didn't feel like adding:
Some staff in the background sweeping up to evoke a blended sense of fragile privacy and liminal time.
A laptop on the aquarium/bar/counter because there's something fascinating about seeing people on their work laptops in public.
The rest of their clothes (casual friday)

When someone says they wanna fuck that old man and it's a rock star who's been drenched in sex appeal for decades and has fucked hundreds of women I do respect and enjoy that, but when someone says they want to fuck that old man and it's Conan Christopher O'Brien, a man drenched in sexless Catholicism who is 90% leg and 100% heart, well, I just think that's pretty darn neat.

like, girl, that's the show. now please don't bring up their actual kiss because I will cry

I finally finished my four-volume ATYD layout!
The body text is larger than any formatted version I have found before, which is why it's four volumes instead of three. (The images I added to this post are just thumbnail previews, not meant to illustrate the relative size of the text.) I designed covers, front matter, chapter accents, and gave each character their own handwriting style for their letters!
I put a huge amount of work into this (for myself!) and I'm excited to share with anyone who is interested. The fanart and fonts I used are all credited (fanart in the front matter, fonts in the back) in case anyone wants to look them up.
These PDFs were specifically designed for printing as perfect-bound paperbacks, which is why the margins are larger on the sides toward the spine. There are all sorts of print-on-demand book sites out there that you can use to order your own copies. If you're handy with InDesign I can send you the .indd files if you'd like to modify them.
If anyone is super interested in having these in EPUB format (for e-readers), I can also share those versions, but they won't have the custom fonts because EPUB formats don't play well with those.
These are hosted on my Google Drive and I have no immediate plans to delete them, but I do recommend downloading them if you think you'll want them in the future, in case I need to delete them down the road.
Here are the files: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1t1ZKdmkDDDUAYqY3Lp6EUilchX5UErlQ?usp=sharing

The first time Steve says I love you to Eddie is also the first time they kiss; Both are an accident.
Steve was late for work and his car wouldn’t start so he calls and asks Eddie to give him a ride, and they’ve been friends now for months so it’s nothing out of the ordinary.
But today Steve is just frazzled and all over the place and he’s sooo late for work Keith might fire him, if Robin doesn't kill him first so you can't really blame him for when he unbuckles leans over and plants a quick kiss on Eddies lips before calling over his shoulder as he gets out
“Thanks! Love you!”
Steve doesn’t even realize he’s done it till he’s clocked in and just kinda freezes in place staring at Robin.
“Oh my god.” He breaths out running a hand through his hair. “Oh my god Robin I kissed Eddie AND told him I love him.”
“Finally!” She cheers throwing her hands up in the air and smiling wide.(she’s been adding tallies to the You Suck board for months now)
“No, no Rob I did it like... like we’re already dating. Like when he dropped me off” and Robin looks a little lost so he explains it to her and the more he talks the more Robin breaks out into a big grin just laughing hysterically.
Meanwhile Eddie just kinda shrugs it off as like ‘straight dudes doing straight dude things’ and the next time Steve gives him a ride he returns the favor, leaving Steve red faced in the driver seat and Robin absolutely losing her shit in the back seat.
Robin is absolutely LOVEING this. She knows that Eddie likes Steve and Steve likes Eddie but they are both soooo stupid.
Eddie keeps trying to ask Robin if this is normal straight guy behavior and she just deadpans him
“Fuck if I know I’m a lesbian, dumbass”
It takes 5 days for them to finally figure out they both mean it. Max is just sitting on her front porch watching them when she just groans rolling her eyes
“Y’all are both so gay its painful, stop flirting and date already” She calls out, two faces bursting out in red at her words.
“Wait you’ve been flirting with me?” Eddie pulls a little strand of hair in front of his face
“Uh yea, have been for like... months man.”
“I thought you were straight?”
“Straight guys don’t go around kissing their guy friends on the mouth Eddie!”

Hogan's Heroes LGBTQ Headcanons
I don't know why, but I've been wanting to share my headcanons for these guys for a while now, and since I'm apparently going through a Hogan's Heroes phase again at the moment I finally got myself up to actually write them down (I've kind of wanted to do this since forever I was just lazy🫠 but I also didn't want to wait with posting them until next pride month). I apologise if the tone of my writing changes like 5 times throughout, I wrote them kind of scattered and partly sleep-deprived😅
Mind you that these are just my headcanons, you don't have to agree with them, just be respectful! I feel like some of these are pretty widely accepted in the fandom anyway, but there are also some that I haven't seen mentioned as frequently.
Also I've mainly focused on sexuality headcanons here, since when it comes to gender I still see most characters as cis. After thinking a bit about it I could see Carter as being agender though, in the kind of way that he just doesn't really care about his gender (like upon being asked what his gender is he'd say something like "I'm just Carter. Why does that even matter?"). Also this is more gender expression related but I can imagine that Newkirk at some point discovers he actually enjoys crossdressing, after having to disguise as a woman multiple times for secret missions. I also feel like Schultz would be the type who doesn't particularly care whether he's gender-conforming or not (he didn't really seem to mind when they put him in a wedding dress that one time), he doesn't actively pursue nonconformity, but he also doesn't take an issue with it, all in all he's just really chill about it.
Feel free to let me know what you think of them :) (As long as it's respectful of course!)

I've made a deal with myself to let Bull and Solas interact a lot in any Solas fics I write (which won't be too long or plot heavy until I'm happy with how I write Solas) bc I think their dynamic is really fun. I need them to give each other shit and by the maker I'll be the one who makes it happen.
