Brosnan Bond doodles from my sketch book :]

his face took me so long to figure out, I have tons of pages of him just looking not quite right lol

Tomorrow Never Dies / Michelle Yeoh as Wai Lin

This article states that there are "five primary modes of Bond girl chic," and I'm planning to look at them all! The first of them is "no-nonsense workwear," here aptly demonstrated by Wai Lin. She apparently wears this outfit underneath a skydiving suit. It's casual but eyecatching, and it allows for great freedom of movement, culminating in a memorable motorcycle ride where she and Bond jointly control the bike while handcuffed together.

I think she has two different versions of the shirt, as the one she wears when dangling from the rope seems longer than the one seen in other shots. Probably to hide a harness.

a fruit to remember (jinx/wai lin)

I’m writing f/f double drabbles for the food prompt table! Here’s the first one. (I will post them on ao3 when they’re all done) I’m a day late for drabble day but ah well. I’m PRETTY SURE they were eating figs in that one scene in die another day and I think figs are very sexy so I’ve decided it was figs.

"Long time no see." Wai Lin smiles against the butt of the American agent's gun. "I'm very good at hide and seek." Wai was assigned to capture her for the Chinese government, but Jinx has won this round of the little game they play with each other, letting her foreign counterpart chase her across the globe before setting a trap at her own house. "Is this how friends great each other in the west?" Wai jerks her head at the gun to her temple before knocking it away. Jinx barely resists. It's a wonder their governments kept assigning them to opposing missions. "No, but this is how lovers do." Jinx drops the gun on the table with one hand and pulls Wai into a kiss with the other. The kiss is a well practiced habit, easy with the knowledge of many more to come. Too soon Jinx pulls away, but she has another treat for Wai. From a bowl on the table she plucks one of her signature figs and presses it to Wai's lips. "Eat. Your tongue could use sweetening." Wai bites obediently and before she has time to swallow, Jinx is kissing the sweetness off her tongue again.

With Michele Yeoh winning the academy award for best actress this year I was inspired to make a poster of the underrated Bond film that introduced me to her movies

(For the sake of this poll, please disregard any canon relationships if they exist. In this alternate universe, everyone is single and ready to mingle. Or, if you want, imagine that you ARE the canon love interest)

Translation: Junior, I have told you several times that Lily prefers to be single, remember?

Lily is the new aroace icon. That's all.

I started worldbuilding a mathematically based fantasy for fun then put Brosnan era characters in it! The concept I have is written under the cut. Any mathematical terminology links you to its respective Wikipedia page! It covers Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies but I do intend to think about the later half of films!

General Worldbuilding

In this world, there are skills that are focused on using a certain mathematical concept to manipulate the world around them. For example, someone focused on geometry may learn how to translate objects to move them.

The vast majority of people only know how to do rudimentary arts for the sake of practical use. Though, any skill can be learnt with enough practice and time. However, some skills are riskier than others such as anything dealing with higher spatial dimensions or manipulations of probability. (There are restrictions in place for such skills as well)

Anybody who is at a more advanced level tends to have a specific focus in mind as well.

Double Oh Division

I created a connection between the definition of division as in a particular section and the division in reference to mathematics. That led me to the notion of "dividing by 0" which is known to be a rather problematic case in mathematics.

Thus, being given a double oh designation allows access to augments that help learn riskier skills. (Example: Q Branch created simulations of viewing the world akin to a fourth dimensional being) Moreover, restrictions on learning such skills are lifted to an extent. (Just don't go rogue)

Agent 006, Alec Trevelyan and Agent 007, James Bond

It is common for those in the 00 Division to choose learning how to view the world through the eyes of a higher dimensional being. Through dimensional analogy, a fourth dimensional being would be able to see inside a 3D shape akin to how we would be able to see inside a 2D being. (Like they would be able to see a sphere inside of a box) Thus, this makes this skill practical for espionage.

Anything higher than that such as actually traversing through the fourth dimension is much more dangerous. (For reference, orbits in higher dimensions would generally be much more unstable)

Both Bond and Alec have opted to learn how to perceive the world in this manner. However, Alec secretly learned how to actually traverse through the fourth dimension for a period of time. Following the start of Goldeneye, he intended to travel through fourth dimensional space as a part of his betrayal.

Elliot Carver

Elliot Carver predominantly focuses on homothety and his skill would be akin to a pantograph. Essentially, he's capable of projecting an image of an object to a much larger scale by using himself as a homothetic center. I felt like this would be fitting for him as he would be able to utilize this to project things for presentations.

Then his skill would be able to be used to take "snapshots" of a particular setting and have an image of them in his hands. (Instead of enlargement, this would be minimizing) This can be later saved and transferred on special Carver Brand paper like a photograph. It has been rumored that he has gathered snapshots to blackmail people but he says they're all simple lies.

Wai Lin

It makes sense that other countries may implement their own systems for particular skills. Wai Lin decided to become incredibly skilled in translating herself through space, meaning that she appears to seemingly "teleport." I got inspired by how she snuck into the CMGN party for this!

At her skill level, she's capable of warping into areas and moving quickly. This holds various effective applications for combat and espionage that make her job easier. However, she can't necessarily travel that far at a time (let's say... she can travel a few meters at most?) Thus, if she wants to solely use her skill to travel, she needs to "warp" around a lot to her destination. Moreover, she can't enter a space if she can't visualize it well.

This doodle page has been sitting in my wips for too long so I’m just gonna post it

I was listening to this and almost gave in to the blues (ha) but Bitty saved me (and saved Leonardo)

@beeceit I'm sincerely thanking you for Bitty omg
