WIP WHENEVER

@aggravateddurian and @ouroboros-hideout tagged me in this... And Boro knows what I'm up to and still isn't afraid!

Virtual Photography

Ok... So I've been working on making a set for the room with the aquarium from the fic to... well make hot pictures.

Showing the first images to the Baddieghest and they decided that a man of refined tastes like Hansen would have clearly put a shark in the aquarium.

And of course, ten minutes later @blackrevell had a shark ready to add to the aquarium.

Vio is not amused.

So, instead of hot pics I'm making boomer selfies for Hansen and the shark (as soon as I make some color correction I'll post them... Wait, Hansen did the selfie, the hell he knows about color correction...)

It's not over, the aquarium is getting bigger and bigger and Shark Norris (Yeah. Shark Norris...) now is an endless source of entertainment...

If you manage to arrive this far in this delirium... Here's to you an amazing gift.

Slightly out of focus and badly cropped our proudest shark daddy.

(Should I make an edit of his shirt with "Proudest Shark Daddy" written on it? Damn, I know...)

(I'm still writing and all... But this week has been shark week!)

Imagine So Mi returning to Earth only to find V's columbarium

You know what? That one line from that Phantom Liberty ending where V can call Johnny a "big ol' softie"? They're right. They're absolutely right.

Johnny is a softie. He goofs off on multiple occasions in V's field of view despite knowing that nobody can see him, probably to his own and V's amusement. He screams on the rollercoaster and grins like crazy at V. He adores Nibbles. He wanted to check on Kerry when he heard that he was suicidal. He finally took Rogue on that car cinema date and can flirt with her in a goofy way straight out of his favorite "Bushido" movies. He has fun on the reunion concert and gives Kerry his DeLuze Orphean as a goodbye gift. He narrates that one quest like a noir narrator just to mess with V. He understands Barry's grief over his tortoise. He's respectful when watching Joshua's crucifiction. He's nice to Spider Murphy and calls her "Spider". He sheepishly apologizes to Alt in "The Sun" ending. He puffs up his chest when Denny says she misses him. He's fuming over the kids in "Talent Academy" being treated like products, probably because it reminds him of how he was treated in the military. He feels for Solomon Reed because he sees himself in him. He feels for Songbird because her circumstances remind him of V's.

And speaking of, he really loves V. He just loves them so much; He's always on watch for any danger and does his best to give them advice. He promises that he will do everything he can to cure them. He will encourage them to take a break if they're feeling sick. He will attempt the most dangerous stunts to get them to Mikoshi. He promises V to let them wipe him from the Relic and he keeps that promise. He will realize that they're his only loved one left and will ask for the last chance, and when he gets it he does everything he can to make them proud and happy. He accepts their decision no matter what it is, because it's their body and life. His worst fear is getting to live again, but without his friend/partner/soulmate/beloved (depending on interpretation) with him. He's proud to be able to call himself V's friend. He's proud of them. He's sad that he won't be able to see how V will change. He choses to stay calm and positive before he will be innevitably killed so that his beloved V will live to keep them calm and comfort them.

That whole hardass, asshole act? It's a ruse, it's a front, it's a persona he had to put on due to bad childhood, PTSD from being drafted as a teenager, seeing other teenagers die horribly around him, losing his limb and being branded with the Arasaka logo he did his best to scratch out and being tossed into a rockstar life of drinking, drugs and fans when he was likely not much older.

He might fight it, but he will never be the detached, emotionless action hero he wants to be, because that's not at all who he is! I think that his slight grin when V says it is one of relief, that he was able to show his most vulnerable, tender and gentle side to the one person he holds dear and not be punished for it, playfully teased but with clear sympathy on V's part. After decades of struggle with who he is being so different from who he wants to be, he can finally be seen for who he is, and who he would be if his life went oh so differently.
