scooby doo comic based on this tumblr post. (daphne design inspired by @pencilscratchins daphne)

[Image description: a two panel comic of the main characters from Scooby Doo. They are having a discussion while seated on a couch. The first panel features Velma (medium skin tone, short brown bob, orange short sleeve shirt and red shorts) and Fred (lighter skin tone, bleach blond hair, Hawaiian shirt, and blue jeans). Velma is saying "What do you believe in now?" and Fred is responding, "Self preservation through love." The second panel features Daphne (dark skin tone, orange and green hijab, purple slip dress over a long sleeve lilac shirt and joggers), Shaggy (fair skin tone, mid length brown curly hair with goatee, green shirt under green plaid hoodie, and distressed brown pants), and Scooby (a brown Great Dane). Daphne is responding to Velma's question by saying, "Chupacabra." Shaggy is saying, "Chupacabra as well." Scooby is resting his head on the end of the couch looking at the rest of the gang. The third image is the first two images put together. End image description.]

I’ve never drawn them so I thought I’d join in on the fun! 🔎👻

One day I’ll find someone to ramble endlessly about to about my serialised gritty-but-lighthearted gay reboot of Scooby Doo but for now Tumblr will have to do. Please support my genderqueer line cook Shaggy agenda

PRIDE MONTH 23 | rhodeytony, young love

So hey! Decided to highlight IM:AA!Rhodeytony this time around (also that show is underrated) because why not. Also they’re bi4bi for me, I have my reasons.

Like my Amerikate art, I colorpicked the bi flag for the sky this time around.

NoSaladAllowed made art for my fic!!!! Thank you friend!!!

Yeah. Yeah.

Eliot often finds himself with Quinn draped over his back, cheek pillowed on his shoulder, drooling just a little bit. The position is only ever held for about 10 minutes (record of 23 minutes and 43 second, not that Eliot was timing) but there is something... He'll never admit it but it's very sweet that Quinn has him labeled as prime napping spot.

After Parker sees she does it too, when she needs contact without expectation. After a particularly grifty job Hardison once came home to find Eliot on the couch - Quinn draped over his back, Parker's head nestled in his lap, and the latest manuscript in his hand (armed with a purple glitter pen for edits, courtesy of Parker). The reading glasses perched on his nose just sealed the deal - but Hardison managed to keep his squees internal. He's definitely saved a few stills from the security footage of that moment.

But. If someone wants or needs a hug - like just because? Best to send Hardison as a middle man. Parker does it the most but. The punchy boys do use him as a hug courier.

(this is hand in hand w/Eliot latches on like a limpet after dangerous jobs to whomever is closest. It only happens to Quinn Once. Never again. Hardison is fine with being the regular target of Clingy!eliot bc its a rare gift and tbh after some of the jobs its. Nice. To have Eliot solidly THERE.)

love comfort & safety are stored in the eliot, i love this for them,

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Leverage Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Mr. Quinn & Eliot Spencer (Leverage) Characters: Mr. Quinn (Leverage), Chapman (Leverage), Eliot Spencer (Leverage), Damien Moreau Additional Tags: Blood and Violence, Gun Violence, Stabbing, Implied violence similar to the Big Bang Job killbox scene, Character death (villains), POV Chapman (Leverage), POV character dies (non graphic), Groundhog Day Time Loop, (only one loop shown) Summary:

A Groundhog Day style timeloop brings Mr. Quinn back in time to loop over the two days in “The Big Bang Job” when the team confronted Damien Moreau head-on. Having heard the tale from the team and more stories of Moreau from Eliot, Quinn decides to save the team some trouble and kill Moreau and Chapman on his own. It works…but as the two days are up, he returns right to the beginning of the loop. So he does it again. And again. And again. His mission soon becomes more challenging, because Moreau is also aware of the loop and desperately trying to survive the mysterious boogeyman coming to kill him.

This is how it ends…

(The fic coming out of this post.)

I have just been struck by the incredible potential of Faceblind Sniper Quinn and am going to do absolutely nothing with this idea except sit here and grin about it. Maybe picture the team getting increasingly distraught until they figure out it's a thing.

it's okay, he's very good at recognising other things - clothes, hair, accessories, body language and body types. Visible scars, if he's lucky. Clients might be weirded out by him asking these things about his targets, but generally when he smiles patiently at them, they answer the questions eventually.

but the chaos. The miscommunications. The way the team finally understand why he makes sure he sees them all in costume before a con starts (you can never be too careful). The one time he sent a warning shot through Eliot's ponytail in a tense situation because Eliot put his hair up mid-job and had to steal someone else's jacket and, in Quinn's defence, things were happening pretty quickly. (Eliot... makes sure to keep him in the loop, after that.)

‘and fight like hell for the living’ I’M CRYING THAT’S SO POWERFUL I’M ABSOLUTELY GOING TO FIGHT LIKE HELL THANK YOU PRIDE KNIGHTS

so we had hell au 1.0, where eliot never left moreau

then we have hell au 1.5, where eliot leaves moreau pre s1, goes back to moreau between s1 and s2, and is undercover worst au eliot for s2 and s3

WELCOME TO hell au 2.0…….where nate figures out eliot is working for moreau mid s3. [thank u @alliamisperformance 4 this particular circle of hell]

This could exist in hell au 1.0 or 1.5 or a slightly different iteration entirely. I’m kind of leaning towards it happening in 1.5 because I think Nate would notice the jarring difference between s1 Eliot and s2 Eliot and he would Think about it. No one tells Nate about Eliot working for Moreau, he just figures it out by doing mental 4d chess. (The rest of the team would notice too, but, as @darkfinch has said, they would know something was off but couldn’t pinpoint exactly what.) 

In all versions of this au, my idea for how the team gets involved in the “take down Damien Moreau” path is still the Italian.* She approaches Nate while knowing Eliot is still actively working for Moreau. She doesn’t tell Nate the Eliot of it all and she doesn’t talk to Eliot, she just hopes that Eliot is in deep enough with the team to take their side over Moreau’s when it all goes down. 

okay, onto more actual fic-y parts of this post and less background that wouldn’t be required if i didn’t have impulse control issues and just sat down to write a real fic instead of this mess.

[nate confronting eliot & eliot telling the team.]

another reason why moreau is scary in the pool scene; he’s stepping out of a sauna in a bathrobe & flip flops and drying his hair with a towel, and eliot is looking at him like This, and eliot is compulsively watching his hands. no thoughts no notes. im going to go lie down on my front lawn and not move about it please respect my privacy at this time

Okay so heres the thing tho - everyone is focused on The Biggest Threat Here. So for the bodyguards and Chapman, it’s Eliot, no doubt about it. The guns are too close to be effective (Miracle Job, “guns have a specific range of efficacy”) and the ones that aren’t have meat shields close enough to grab - like Chapman.

“They gave you the job?” Slightly incredulous and a little derogatory, they both know how much Better Than Him Eliot is.

So when Eliot is compulsively watching a man who just stepped out of a sauna in fucking flipflops, looking at him like a pound of C-4 with 5 seconds left on the timer….

Yeah. Moreau is fucking terrifying.

#the best information we have about this man is his effect on others #everyone on the crew knows exactly who he is right from the start #he Terrifies eliot spencer

#something something damien moreau is a black hole #little is known about him outside of his effect on others #he’ll pull you in and obliterate you if you get too close [via @bostonbakeddeans]

i think part of why moreau is so scary in the pool scene is because like...we know eliot can grift? and we've seen how he usually plays this kind of thing. goofy, charming, power negative. he has tools. he has skills. we know he's good at it.

but then we get to the pool, and moreau's outwardly pretty friendly and casual and visibly trying to build some bridges here, and eliot just gives him.... nothing. just absolutely nothing.

"whose snoopy lunchbox do i have" nothing. absolutely nothing.

moreau's sitting here saying you work alone you prefer beer i know you i know you and eliot gives him nothing!!! moreau's a mark saying "here's what i want from you, here's what you can give me for this to go smoothly, i want to talk to you i want to have this conversation" and eliot's just blank.

if sophie or nate or whoever were here, they'd absolutely be trying to match his energy, trying to go along with this. hardison does a little bit at first, nervously smiling, trying to be casual about it (after moreau's like, hey, don't take this personally, it takes me a while to open up to people ;) )

but eliot is a brick fucking wall. if this were any other mark, eliot'd be picking up on every single little opening tossed his way and using it. but he doesn't. moreau's trying really, visibly hard to remind him of this shared Something and eliot's just standing there with his arms crossed sticking to his script and his monotone

reminds me of belgrade!!! hey remember this shared experience we have! i know you i know you i know you! the deal's over and eliot's still just. not engaging even a little bit.

i know i keep saying that moreau's not scary because of what he does, but because of how other people act around him, but. hhhhhhhh

okay but the sheer amount of stress eliot is under in the worst au to ever happen to me

“you can’t make that promise to more than one person”

he cooks for damien because he cares, he cooks for the team because he cares. he is damien’s personal guard dog because he cares, he is the team’s hitter because he cares. damien is in danger when he’s off robin-hood-ing, the team is in danger when he goes home (literally or figuratively) to moreau.

and it’s not love…..but is it? and how is he supposed to choose

Hi hello yes I’m screaming over here because.

Look. I was a dog trainer. I also trained in horsemanship (Parelli natural horsemanship). The best relationships between handler and animal are ones where the animal is a partner, not a tool. Not an equal, but also not something to simply be used.

What Damien wants, Damien gets. He wants the best protection possible - not that money can buy, because there’s always a higher bidder somewhere when it comes to things like personal safety and life and death. No - you need devotion. You need loyalty. To have loyalty, there must be trust. Give and take.

Eliot is a champion dog - a trophy to display, a tool to use, a pet to care for (maybe love, as one loves a pet?). Damien wants him in shape for whatever performance he needs to give - no more, no less.

But the thing is - when he performs well, goes above and beyond, surprises Damien (he still can, eight years on, and it makes him so proud), Damien treats him well. Better than well. Not just material things - he’s hands-on, when he really cares. Stitches Eliot up himself, pours the wine or opens the beer himself, pushes Eliot down to his knees rather than give a command.

(Don’t ask me about the initials tattooed on his scalp, hidden under his hair, right where Moreau likes to rest his hand; don’t ask me about him tattooing Eliot himself, Eliot knelt like a supplicant but facing away, so vulnerable and trusting; silence but for the humming of the gun. Don’t ask.)

There’s a bond there - it’s not equal, but it does go both ways.

How can he choose?

wait the season 3 arc of the Quinn Was Always There AU would be so funny. quinn knows eliot used to work with moreau but he's not telling the team bc its none of their business <3

that scene where everyone is like "MOREAU???? no he's far too dangerous!!!" except Quinn is just kinda sitting there humming to himself as he sharpens a knife.

when no one's looking he gives Eliot a nice little supportive pat on the back, very much a silent 'at this point we've both known for years that I will murder Moreau for you at the slightest hint or convenient opportunity' and Eliot smacks him away.

ACTUALLY, would he insist on coming to meet Moreau with Eliot in the pool scene? Just rocking up like, 'yo, it's me. I brought Eliot back as requested.' or maybe he's out of town for a gig/vacation and gets back in the aftermath and is just. crushed that he missed this chance. of course he's going to san lorenzo with them. the gelato's really good there, it's not a big deal, nothing to do with this moreau guy.

'yo, it’s me. I brought Eliot back as requested.’ 😂😂😂

"What? Late? Sorry, you never specified a timeline when we arranged our deal. But, as you can see, I have definitely brought you Eliot Spencer."

i am thinking about it i am thinking about the undercover eliot au i am staring blankly at a wall i am experiencing an emotional turmoil about it

good morning alas cannot stop thinking about this Fuckening au.

just. eliot disappearing to wipe out a family with chapman for a weekend and then popping back to boston in time for the next briefing. hi team, having a normal one, anybody want dinner. time for some lighthearted robin hood shenanigans. im fine and im making eye contact about it. fuck

...I read this and at first thought you were proposing mashing this together with the QWAT/hitter romance novelist AUs, and upon re-reading I am, like, 99% certain I was incorrect and this is solely for how to enumerate the AUs, but, just in case: NO, NOT COMPATIBLE! YOU KEEP THIS FUCKERY AWAY FROM QWAT AU, FINCH!

Don't get me wrong; it's indeed fascinating and compelling, but...just not anywhere in the remote vicinity of QWAT AU. *shudder*

oh nonono you are ABSOLUTELY correct, this new au is not allowed within 500 miles of the wholesome qwat/hitter romance novelist AUs, those are for experiencing good thoughts and warmth in ur heart etc. I WOULD NEVER EVEN CONSIDER IT, THEY ARE NOT COMPATIBLE, ITS NOT ALLOWED
