If you've been interested in my Desperados art lately, might I also interest you in joining a Desperados Discord server?

And if you're wholly unfamiliar with the games, no worries, I can get you up to speed no problem. Tust me; these are small games, but they deserve love also.

with how utterly shite twitter has been, I might very well resurrect this blog

more McCoy stuff because of my severe brainrot (and desire to illustrate my fic)

*A Deal With The "Devil," Made For You.*

—or, cover image for my Desperados fanfic. Detailing the gun/chair/blood/Samedi/shadows in the background really made me appreciate life.

if you've been reading my desperados fic, here's a masterlist (the last three are public domain characters/my OCs)

#desperados #aliya writes #hector like laughing: I'm in danger #I might doodles the three OCs that're in the bottom

[orionali]

McCoy's entire character can be summarized as:

(stands over a dying person) "Oh no! What a senseless waste of a human life!" (crouches, snaps their neck)

#I wish I was kidding #but that's his backstory: loathes killing kills anyway #he's a living juxtaposition #in some way it's even worse than your vampire doctors #vampire doctors have to kill because they're haaangry #McCoy just streamrolls over people because... ehhh #that's one weird PTSD you got there buddy #obsession instead of the more common avoidance/shutdown trigger #also I made him trans #because I want to reflect #Aliya's art #desperados #Arthur McCoy

This?

This was my original idea for this fic?

Ughhhhh...

I do like to think that after the events of Desperados 3 and its DLC, Cooper's gang split — mostly to avoid being such a prominent target for the law enforcement. John and Kate then went to meet Sam on their Santa Fe job, and Doc and Isabelle went on their own jobs.

Won't lie, I'm tempted to write a drabble where the latter two successfully pull a number of jobs... before biting more than they can chew and an informant betrays them. McCoy gets captured and gets his eye shot out point-blank by his own Buntline, and Isabelle has to give up the location of their stash before Doc's kidnappers shoot out his other eye. Cue a "let's see you snipe with your eyes gone, bastard" snide comment from the kidnappers. Isabelle outsmarts and kills them all. She gets Doc out and, with the money, both flee into the wilderness.

The rest of the story would be Isabelle nursing Doc back to health (she is a voodoo witch after all) and McCoy having a bit of existential crisis as he thinks he won't be able to do his job anymore i.e. be a sniper. Plus, losing an eye really, really tests his "nothing personal" attitude — he's, understandably, overcome with Emotions (TM).

Doc decides to take it slow (call it his convalescence) and Isabelle lets him use her cabin deep in the bayou. With time and practice he regains his sniping skills, but Isabelle, unfortunately, is found and lynched by the company guys from before.

Hello, I've heard that you're an expert on LOS lore. Some people claim that in one trailer for LOS2 you can see Dracul visiting the tombs of Marie and Laura, do you know anything about that?

Oh, with the advent of Netflix Castlevania, I've more or less left the LoS fandom... But I can tell you that those tombs were just a set piece; Gabriel never mentions them anywhere in the script.

#los #which is poop #but I guess that's a given since Marie is resurrected and all

Hector: If you've got deep laugh lines, does it mean you laugh a lot?McCoy: 🙄 (but the emoji has only one eye)

been playing some RDR2, and uhhhh, (spoilers) why does TB-ridden Arthur looks even hotter than before?

#or am I just messed up? #or maybe I'm biased towards sickly/pale/vampire-y looks #sad trombone noises arthur #red dead redemption #my screenshot #the perma-bloodshot eyes are just the cherry on top

Cooked up a little-little something for the Desperados fandom.

#aliya writes #forgot to promo this when I finished the prologue

[orionali]

isabelle just meets mccoy and decides like 15 minutes later, “i’m so gonna bully this man >:)”

#honestly same girl #mccoy is like the most bully-able person of the gang #but this is so funny to me #that like 15 mins after meeting him she just goes and invades his personal space #TOUCHY #the hat will save you dude #desperados

[orionali]

Isabelle stole his hat. :(

#*(hawkeye from D2 voice)* while medicine man and a black a voodoo woman #the latter part is not true #but the 'white medicine man' is #and so I'm calling McCoy that from now on #D2 is awful with its love triangle outta fuckin' nowhere #but hawkeye is bless #I'd rather have isabelle and doc as a pairing #screams into his face 'STOP BEING COY WITH ME MCCOY' #that's the energy these two give off as a pairing #desperados #aliya's art #isabelle moreau #arthur 'doc' mccoy

WIP. this is the dumbest thing I’ve ever drawn

#but hey I ship #and this ship ain't even my idea #they just bicker like an old married couple #interracial too #aliya's art

[orionali]

me, playing desperados 3 can be summarized as: 

#yes bloody hilarious #he's enacting his revenge for being knocked out in the baton rouge mission #by setting up elaborate combos with cooper and belle #this time I just lured a guy right in front of a bull #and flicked the bull with a coin #and of course McCoy found that hilarious #people dying in gruesome visceral ways: 'heh'

[orionali]

I heard these mooks having this banter and I had to do it.

#I nearly died after this #but it was sooooo worth it #desperados #no one fuckin' underestimates my guy #you get an automatic bullet
