will and mitchell are best friends. they enlisted together. stuck together. will uses his last words to offer mitchell comfort. they keep each other in line. mitchell places his complete and utter trust in will, and will would rather see himself killed than let mitchell get caught in the crossfire. the trust, the affection, the kindness, the genuine and raw friendship there is almost tangible, to me.

with gideon, it's... so close, yet so far. he's rough with mitchell, but keeps him on target. he realigns mitchell when he has to, barks orders, tells him what to do, and holds him accountable. he's a good commander, and mitchell trusts him for it. even once separated, even if it's because he has no other choice, when gideon comes back and is ready to help, mitchell welcomes him back, and stands readily at his side.

i really like the thought of gideon being a parallel to will while mitchell is grieving. he's just familiar enough to be a source of comfort, but he's too distant, too rough, for mitchell to be able to lean into it and immerse himself in that comfort as a way of coping. but on the other hand, what choice does he have beyond that? he's part of the team now, he has to stick close to gideon. and it is by gideon's side that he gets back on his feet and learns to fight again.

maybe not willingly, but every person who grieves has to move on eventually. for their own sake. and i like to see mitchell prying off the prosthetic that johnathan irons gave him, sending him to his death, and leaving the arm to fall with him, is his moment of letting go. will is gone, and his father's schemes at an end.

I posted there from like 2020-2022, and my art sucked ass and I was cringe, but that's 2 years of progress I would've liked to save to my phone to keep. I lost a lot of the original sketchbooks and my old tablet I drew on due to the fact that I've moved a million times, so Amino was the only place that had a lot of my old art. Like is it all just gone now? Do I have to pretend I'm not DEVASTATED that I lost 2 years worth of art I had because this stupid ass app just decided to become unusable??

Anyways 😸 here's a few unfinished drawings of my favorite little guy, Jack Mitchell. I'm hoping this Amino shit gets resolved soon because I really wanna access my art before the app starts tweaking again.

You wanna talk about Ilona, talk about Ilona. Give me some headcanons about, maybe what she would be like with s/o as well. I got you into AW and I want to know your takes obviously.

Dating Ilona

[GN!Reader]

[AN: here we go!]

Reblogs are appreciated!

I think that Ilona is biromantic and demisexual with a HEAVY preference for women. She's like 99% into women, 1% into men.

SO, what's dating that woman like???

Surprisingly I don't think she's all that romantic in the sense of PDA and whatnot. She's not hands off but she isn't smothering you with affection either.

Her affection is very subtle. She'll hold your hand, generally have a hand on you, but she's not going to be making out with you in public.

Ilona is very joking and sarcastic in her relationship!

She has LOTS of nicknames for you in Russian, both joking and sweet.

She will play fight with you (no that's not my own biases peeking through)

LOVES to cook Russian comfort foods for you.

She wants to teach you Russian as well. If you speak any other languages than English, she's going to want to learn from you as well!

She's a space heater! Please cuddle with her! Ilona NEVER gets cold or hot! She's surprisingly great with handling extreme temperatures (though she does NOT like summer).

She enjoys picking you up at random times.

Ilona always has to drive. Always.
