#gidchell

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.

Anyways, gonna do a yap session here, this can be skipped tbh, it's not important to the drawings I've listed alongside this. I've been stressed and going through a lot lately, and because of that, I've been so unmotivated with my art. I make myself draw often because I wanna draw, but then I actually start and I'm like, enough of this 💔 and I'm so inconsistent, I change things about my style everyday until it looks completely different from shit I would've drawn like 2 weeks ago, AND I HATE COLORING/SHADING CLOTHES, and genuinely I am sick of drawing noses. I draw mostly fan art as well and I feel like it NEVER looks like the character I'm trying to draw bro😐

I might do some MW2 drawings because I recently got the 2022 remake and have been playing the campaign. I already knew the story since I did play it when it first came out because my cousin bought it and he lived with me at the time, but now that I actually own it myself, I can replay it 30 times just like I did with Advanced Warfare 😸

I honestly don't know how Tumblr works, you'd think someone like me, who basically grew up online, I would know, but I don't Like I'll look through posts and some of the tags are like full sentences? 😭 Like I feel like I only see people use hashtags like that on here. Like I actually feel like a senior citizen sometimes, it's not even funny. However, I did really enjoy posting here last time, just talking freely (mostly to myself 😛) is like top 5 of my favorite things to do, and I can literally just post here whenever and talk about what I want, it's like a little diary. Except it's not private so I do have to be somewhat normal still because digital footprint and whatever 😔🙏

I talk a lot and I like writing shit down so posting here seems logical to me, especially since Tumblr I feel is very art centered so it's actually pretty fun posting my art here. Like I posted my art on TikTok and immediately got like 3 hate comments 💀 and TikTok definitely has a big art community but I've noticed how hateful it can be. And y'know, I'm sure Tumblr has issues like that, but I just haven't come across it yet because I open this app once a day for like 2 minutes only, but I kinda feel better posting random rants about nothing and my art here instead of socials like TikTok and insta. Especially because I like to ship, and shipping is so strict in some communities. Especially if it's a queer ship omg bro it's so fucking annoying. I have a lot of queer ships because I'm queer, like I relate, but OH MY GOD, it's so annoying. ESPECIALLY being in the call of duty fandom, if you have a gay ship, you'll always hear an annoying "call of duty bro" in your ear whining about being woke and making everything gay, SHUT UP BRO.
