🎨COMMISSIONED PIECE 🎨
——
What a full circle moment to have worked on this commission featuring a scene in @ladyred-ms 's fic Blind Man’s Bluff.
I can’t begin to tell you how special these characters are for me. Reading this fic has helped me so much to relax on evenings and reconnect with the L4D community. Thank you for honoring me with the chance to depict a small slice of your literary magic!🫶🧟♂️

Disclaimer i don't read the bmb fics and know nothing about it but i just want to redraw the scene based from @seriousturd drawing here because i love how she draw Nick's expression (plus Nellis interaction)
Danse has to get homesick In Sanctuary. Like despite being uncertain of how much his past is real including times with the Brotherhood, those memories were home. The Brotherhood was home especially the Prydwen.
No matter all the comfort and the luxuries SoSu could put to make him feel more relaxed or like it’s his space it’s still not home. It’s so unique to him cause everyone else has a home in a sense. A thing or place they can come and go to as they please while Danse doesn’t. He can never go back to the people he considered family and they can never go to him without serious consequences. It doesn’t help that (due to his own faults and beliefs) a good majority of the new people in his life do not exactly like him.
It’s so isolating for him as the wasteland is also a different culture in general. Theres so much he’s not used to vs what he is. But all in all I think that’s a good thing. I feel as if Danse had a better arc in game it would 100% have him learning or developing a sense of home before a sense of self. I think it gets overlooked that Danse is a person that likes or feels like he needs to belong to something. A cause, a philosophy, a mission. He needs a goal. He must learn to live for himself and his purpose but it’s clear he wants to find that through something which is why he latches onto the Sole Survivor after rather than just wander the wastes. He needs something, anything to base a sense of self on at this point in time and who better than the person that opened their home to him in the first place.
He’s a dude that needs a foundation or home to ground himself on or else he doesn’t know what to do with himself or even start.
I HAVE MORE PROOF VIOLET AND MINNIE WERE NEVER ✨A THING✨ I SWEAR
plus how violentine is better bpd relationship.
i mean what? hm?
i dont know what spawn within be woke me up from a dead sleep but here we are.
violet gots bpd (…probably). bpd idealization is not at all a good thing and is actually a sign of a rough connection. also, there's a taste of how identity plays into it.
and stuff. but whatever. nobody likes talking about bpd and i'll just sit here and rot or something.
okay, i'm being dramatic. lol. i'll go work on other essays. this is the one that it coms from btw.
SUMMMARY: Five years after the outbreak, the survivors are still managing themselves without the government. But wait, isn't Valentine's Day coming up? Ellis and Chris take it upon themselves to plant tulip seeds they found, and Chris surprises Rochelle with a gift. Now everyone wants flowers!
Hey! I'm super excited to post this little valentine's day work for the lovely @ladyred-ms detailing Rochelle's and her OC, Chris', relationship. Thank you to @starrywriter917 for beta reading as well! It's just a quick little tidbit I was inspired to do and I sincerely hope you all enjoy it. <3
