☢️here is a few and i’ll add to them over time☢️

Benny is Rock Hudson

Swank is Guy Madison

Blonde Vulpes Inculta is Roddy Mcdowell and Canon Vulpes Inculta is Sam Witwer

Pre-BBQ Joshua Graham is Gary Cooper

Malpais Legate (take 2? 3?)

okay this one matches the joshua i have in MY head - maybe it’s coz he looks older here, maybe it’s coz i finally got the eyes to look the right shade of blue, i can’t decide.

Sketch of my next drawing of Joshua face modelled on gary cooper as per usual + the last picture with a detail fixed that i’m almost 100% sure no one else will notice 😀

one day i’ll progress past joshua’s shoulders

🔥⛪️ Malpais Legate 🐂🏛️

i can’t tell if this is better or worse than the last one but at least Joshua has his armour now :)

Far Too Young to Die: Chapter 3

Chapter aesthetic 🥂

Curse of the Kennedys - Aesthetic

Dick Grayson returns to Gotham after learning of the death of Jason Todd. The young Robin had been killed by the Joker and now Dick had to move on with his life. If only grief was so simple.

The Flowers in The Curse of The Kennedys Chapter One are chrysanthemums.

the chrysanthemums in the story are orange in colour which is a reference to the box Jason used to get his mothers cigarettes in - hence why he hates orange. chrysanthemums are a flower used in some cultures to celebrate motherhood.

Also, chrysanthemums in some cultures are a flower representing mourning and grief commonly used for funerals while in others they are symbols of joy and love. This is a little fun dig at Wally as he has chosen something that Dick but no one else deems inappropriate. Chrysanthemums are also a “filler flower” used to fill out bouquets which is another subtle reference to wally seeing jason fill in for dick as robin.

the word chrysanthemums is derived from ancient greek “chyros” meaning gold. which is another colour theme i’ve used in the book to associate with Dick being the Golden and first son. Dick rejecting the flowers was him rejecting his position as the first son and as the first in a legacy out of respect and grief for Jason’s loss - he’s in denial about Jason’s death and refuses to move on.

And FINALLY, chrysanthemums begin blooming in October/November which is where the timeline of the story begins. They are out of season when Jason dies in April which is my silly way of making a subtle reference to Jason dying too soon.
