Agent Frecklelancer

I know I haven’t posted her in a long time, and I apologize. I wanted to make an actual note to all of you who still follow me. 

I have decided to leave tumblr. 

I just wanted to thank you all. I have made amazing friends on this site. I have been able to scream about a bunch of idiots in a canyon with random strangers on the internet, and I had so much fun doing it. I love you all, and thank you so, so much for reading my writing and reblogging my shitposts and screaming about idiots with me. 

I wrote one last fic as a thank you and a goodbye. It can be found here, if you’d like to read it.

4. Lil Neat Things And Inspirations

There really isn’t much to this one, just some cool little things I stuck in there and wanted to point out

This is a reference to one of my favorite lines from @sedimentarydearwatson ‘s fic House Rules which reads

“Do you remember the fires, Tucker?”

“….Yes.”

“Do you want to fires back?”

“No, I don’t want the fires back.”

This first bit is a tribute to a fic by @illumynare called First Name Agent Last Name Washington , which happens to be the first fic I ever read. It really stressed the Wash isn’t Curch vibes that Tucker had going on, and was a major inspiration for Tucker’s mindset at the beginning. Another scene from that fic that I included was that canon scene where Caboose calls Wash a friend for the first time. I never really saw the significance of that scene u til I read that fic.

I ended up putting a lot of references to my favorite RvB fic of all time Long Road Back To Good by saltsanford. Something I took from it was the scene where Wash teaches Tucker how to do knife stuff. In the fic, it’s a disarming technique, but I couldn’t fit that in the time I had in the song lol. The last thing I pulled from LRBTG would be that once scene where Wash is like: So this is all you guys do, and Tucker is like, “Sometimes we go start shit with the reds…..wanna go start shit with the reds?”

This fic was what made me want to make the lyric comic in the first place, and the quote about home in the fic is what chose the song. It reads:

“Home? he asks out loud, or maybe just thinks to himself. He could never decide if home was a place or a group of people, but it doesn’t matter now, because he has neither.”

The next reference is to another saltsanford fic, because I had to, the legendary Tuckington fic: Put My Guns In The Ground. I wanted to keep the lyric comic ship-free, but I couldn’t resist these two concepts from PMGITG. The first one is the audio. I noticed the music video version of Home starts with the sound of rain pattering down, and rain is a huge thing in PMGITG. Essentially the idea was that the rain was the first thing Wash realized was real after the Epsilon incident. I thought it would be nice to include it, so I took the audio from the music video

The second thing is, ironically, it’s not about Tucker or Wash, it’s actually a Caboose thing. In the fic, Caboose likes to take pictures and put them all around the room. I originally had the idea of have a frame where Caboose was showing Wash his room full of crayon drawings, but I felt like this was more “blue team bonding.”

PS: yes, Wash drew a cat and is casually covering it up with his other paper (like we have all done at some point). Caboose drew a blue house with himself, Church, and Wash inside and Tucker outside because stupid Tucker. Tucker drew himself, big surprise.

Also, I’ve never actually colored Felix before. I’ll admit he had brown hair in my mind for the longest time, but what can I say? @redvsuwu convinced me otherwise.

And finally, this water fight is a scene of my own. It’s really special to me, I thought of a giant water fight in Crash Site Bravo and thought of the blues sitting, drenched on top of Blue base, relaxed for once and having a good time. I thought it would be perfect to have that be the last scene before Freckles Shake.
