Archer’s reaction:

______

The first picture was an edit I made with like 15 minutes of spare time but wow do I still love it. Archer (co-created by @slightlyofftomatosauce) does in fact play the saxophone and oh boy does he put it into by good, I mean really bad use...

[tomatos-ocs]

(evil gear) how would archer even meet the literal Rat King himself ??? if you explained it already somewhere and i missed it IM SORRY but i want all... the details....

im glad you asked!! no i havent posted this anywhere online yet, cause i didnt want to pack an art post full of lore that i wasnt even sure on yet lol. also i freaking love that that’s how you choose to address Ryu sdhfsndfk

the basic plot of the Evil Gear Au is of course, a resurgence of STEM usage causing problems and getting attention. around 2025~ Ryu and Raiden, during their vigilante escapades, discover events of mass comas in concentrated areas and start investigating - cause in their universe, mass mind control and such are definitely not unheard of.

their investigation leads them to Krimson City, which leads them to the Beacon Hospital Incident, which leads them to the only known survivor - Sebastian. and in hunting down Seb, since hes the only person they can find who would know anything on it, they find Archer and Joseph as well (as this all takes place about 8 years after the TEW3 au events).

their first meeting does not go well tho!! since mass comas are pretty weird its been on the news and such, which puts the whole group on edge, cause they have a sneaking suspicion as well. so when Ryu and Raiden show up on Seb’s doorstep, its not assumed to be a social call of any kind. Archer actually shoots Ryu in the head, but with being a full cyborg and all, it doesnt do much besides stun him, and freaks the hell out of Archer lol. thats what the comic on THIS post is!

from there they all decide to warily work together and share all the info they know, which does lead to finding the source, which is of course STEM - not certain if its Mobius or not! im leaning towards another group thats using the system themselves now considering the end of TEW2. what their reasons for doing so are, i do not know yet shfjkdf

unfortunately, during the course of the field operations, Ryu and Archer end up caught in the system as well via the frequency upload method, and are on their own for a good chunk of it. commence War Bonding or whatever its called when you develop deep camaraderie with fellow soldiers sfhdsjkf

and if youre curious, the only reason the two of them got paired up for operations was because despite how much Ryu grates on Archer (on purpose, cause hes a snot), hes still the one that can stand him the best sdjkfdsf. they go 50/50 on partnering up for trust/lack of such reasons, and Seb wins and gets Raiden as his partner instead of the goblin man. Joseph stays behind cause hes had ENOUGH STEM thank u

(i know i need to draw like. everyone else involved in this au im just lazy and know what im here for dont @ me)

thinkin bout THEM again

[tomatoscribbles]

a sketch i did for an ask that got out of hand, so i wanted to post it by itself so the rez and format wouldnt suck!

[tomatoscribbles]

been thinkin abt this au a lot lately!

[tomatoscribbles]

evil gear doots, the dynamic and progression between these two fuels me

[tomatoscribbles]

quick n simple comics, something about this au inspires me to do more stuff like this! plus theyre fun to do on my lunch break

[tomatoscribbles]

if you follow my oc blog @tomatos-ocs, you probably saw me talking about a crossover and these two plausibly meeting - so i caved and now im in too deep lol. its only apropos, considering theyre some of the first ocs ive had in a VERY long time to be inserted into a canon cast

plot is very wip but i want the cyborg twins and tew crew to work together, and ryū and archer are FORCED to bond after a rocky beginning

[tomatoscribbles]

really vibing with my boy Archer again lately!!

[tomatoscribbles]

after what i thought was the end of the dream for getting these charms made, lo and behold the opportunity arose again! finally got these ordered and theyll be here //checks calendar//.... someday, but for now heres the completed designs!

[tomatoscribbles]

some Archer doots from december, with concepts for his charm and some lame pose practice :P

[tomatoscribbles]

with the announcement of the Ryū charm i was making for Mal, i actually got messages from a few loyal fans interested in one themselves! in light of that i decided to make this post and see if any more of my audience would be interested with the full designs.

this offer extends until around January 20th 2020. if you would like a charm, please contact me before then!! these will only be made once in all likelyhood, so if you want one ever, now is your only chance! i dont expect a ton of orders, considering these are just OCs, but i figured id get the thought out there lol. 

if i get many more orders ill set up an Etsy for easier and more secure payment and order filing! if not the transaction will simply be through DMs and Paypal.

[tomatoscribbles]

a pretty simple entry today cause i didnt have a lot of time to work on it, but i did switch Archer’s gun holsters while i was at it. at least im having better luck with him than i did last year!

[tomatoscribbles]

[tomatoscribbles]
