#helga sinclair

Did anyone have art of cyborg helga fucking a failbutch on their 2026 wishlist? No just me? Well that's too bad because I've spent 12 hours on it--

Currently thinking about what Helga thought about Thaddeus Thatch’s death. Thaddeus died after being ridiculed by his academic peers and never seeing his life’s work come to fruition. Helga must have known at least a little about this. She and Rourke worked with him well enough during the mission to retrieve the Shepherd’s Journal, and in the comic depicting those events she appears reasonably amused by his antics (in a way that she seems to mirror with Milo in Atlantis: The Lost Empire). Both Thaddeus and Preston Whitmore obviously offered an opportunity for great wealth, but it’s still interesting to ponder whether there was any degree of sentimentality beyond her employment under them. We know that her most significant attachment outside of her family was Lyle Rourke, but it’s a difficult to say something similar about virtually anyone else. I think it’s possible that Helga viewed every other attachment in her life largely as a means to an end. She might have a degree of fondness for people like Thaddeus, but ultimately if they are not useful to her, or worse—if they go against her, her relationship with them can be easily severed. Ultimately I see Helga exhibiting some emotion over Thaddeus and potentially Mr. Whitmore’s deaths, but a significant part of this would be attached to their ability to make her rich.
