"Well, I do appreciate the interest...Though there isn't all that much intriguing about me. I used to live with my brother Jonathan, he's a constable...We used to be very close, but I was against his choice in work. And when they came to take the children, Jonathan was one of the constables who was putting down anyone who tried to stop it or destroy the rosters, and I couldn't bear to be near him anymore. And so I left."
"I lived with some neighbors for a while, then Joy came around and they were making everyone take it. Took one pill and instantly got sick to my stomach. I kept trying but...it wasn't for me. So the bloody city kicked me out into the Garden District, and I've been stuck there since."
"I haven't seen my brother since I left home all those years ago. I was just a teenager then. But I imagine he's still a constable and is all hopped up on that bloody Joy. It's been really tough living here in the Garden District....but apparently it's not too different in town either. They're just all too high out of their minds to even notice."
"I just want people to be able to live normal lives again before they all starve themselves to death. So I plan on trying to make my way back into town to see what I can do to put an end to all this madness..."
"If you're wanting to know some random little tidbits about me, well, I adore tea. I had this tea set I had for the longest time that my mother gave me, but it got broken by some Downer....Funny about that. Same incident is how I got the scar on my face. This bloke had just come off his Joy, came freaking out and into the place I was staying and he was trying to make me 'smile'. Isn't that the silliest thing...?"

Zero in We Happy Few
If after the events of MMZ4, Zero ended up in Wellington Wells and helps Arthur (and himself) escape.
They first meet in the church where Arthur had to rip up his suit and give the Medals back to David.
Zero already looked like a wastrel due to falling from orbit. A foreign wastrel with an American accent, but still a wastrel.
He was advised to ‘drop the accent’ so he switched to a British one as best he could.
He has all his memories back now and X is discreetly following him around using Wellington Wells’ cyberspace.
Zero gets his Wellie suit from a tailor once they get to the first ‘civilized’ portion of the country.
This just popped into my head one day while I was watching ChristopherOdd’s playthrough and was still in my MegaMan phase

The Beginning [7]
Dear Laura, Do you know what a wastrel is? I didn’t either, until Master Jeffman called me one today. A wastrel of a boy, he said, shaking his meaty fist at me. What is a boy to do, when called a wastrel? What did I do? I fed the pigeons with his share of the corn, that’s what I did. I fed the pigeons and thought of new ways to become a worse wastrel than I already am. He missed his corn, at…

you know how you sometimes see someone on the street and you're like mmmmm yes i can see your pinterest mood board already and then you put them in your WIP that you'll never really finish and kill them off two scenes later before realising they had insane chemistry with their sibling so you make the sibling not their sibling

Decided to draw Audrey protecting Ophelia once she became a Downer since Ophelia is not a fighter whatsoever, so Audrey would feel obligated to protect her.
I may color this, I just really like how it looks rn and wanted to share it

What do you even do?
Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that's why I text my friends excerpts of my spec script—a crossover between Saw (2004) and Sebastiane (1976) I coaxed out of chat gpt—on company time.

Israel is well aware that if the White House truly wanted Israel to stop, it could do so by withholding all additional military assistanceOpens in a new tab until the carnage ends. But the rationale for Biden’s refusal to demand a ceasefire, which a firm majorityOpens in a new tab of Democrats want him to do, is not just born of total disregard for the lives of Palestinian civilians who are cannon fodder for the big lie about this being an Israeli act of “self-defense.” Though the U.S. is likely to frame any “winding down” or temporary pause in the Israeli attempt to erase Gaza as a humanitarian endeavor, the reality is more complicated.
Both Biden and Netanyahu know what they dare not say in public: On a military level, things are not going well. Israel, a nuclear-armed nation state with modern weapons systems and intelligence capabilities and fully backed by the most powerful nation on Earth, is desperately struggling to achieve a meaningful tactical victory over the armed Palestinian guerrilla forces in Gaza.
Despite the vast resources Israel has dedicated to its propaganda effort, it is also flailing in its effort to defeat Hamas on that front. On a daily, sometimes hourly, basis, the Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s military wing, and their allies in arms release videos showing successful attacks on Israeli armored vehicles and troop positions. The short films offer a glimpse into another side of this war, the one that Israel and the U.S. do not want the public to see. And the picture that emerges stands in stark contrast to the official Israeli narrative. Fighters from Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad are engaged in urban combat and close-quarters firefights with Israeli forces, and they are inflicting heavy losses on them. They have also published a close-up videoOpens in a new tab of Israeli soldiers in a makeshift tent camp inside Gaza that Hamas fighters filmed by discreetly popping up from tunnel hatches.
The Israeli military recently published a video that purportedly depicts the work of a Hamas engineering team’s construction of a 4-kilometer section of underground tunnel near the Erez Crossing. It also published a videoOpens in a new tab of what it said was Mohammed Sinwar, the brother of Hamas’s leader, driving in a car through the tunnel network. While Israel clearly released the videos in an effort to unmask the devious evil of Hamas, it actually revealed a level of tactical sophistication and preparedness seldom seen since the days of the Viet Cong. The IDF-published videosOpens in a new tab also inadvertently dramatized the dubiousness of Israel’s claims that it can flush with seawater hundreds of kilometers of tunnels equipped with massive water-sealed and blast-proof doors — not to mention the viability of engaging in close-combat tunnel warfare with Hamas.
[...]
There is no doubt that both Washington and Tel Aviv underestimated the military capacity of the Hamas-led armed resistance. It is one thing to snatch Palestinians off the streets of the West Bank and disappear them into a military court system, a practice Israel has perfected over the decades. It is quite another to defeat a well-armed insurgency that has spent decades building vast underground infrastructure beneath its own territory and training for this very moment.
[...]
Killing or capturing Hamas leader Yehia Sinwar or the head of the Qassam Brigades, Mohammed Deif, may give Israel political cover to declare a false victory, scenarios the Biden administration is eager to seize upon. Last week, a senior U.S. official hintedOpens in a new tab that the U.S. is actively participating in the hunt for these high-value targets, declaring that it is “safe to say” that Sinwar’s “days are numbered.” But the idea that armed resistance will be extinguished by killing top leaders of Hamas betrays the same pattern of wishful thinking that has permeated U.S. strategic thinking since 9/11. All of this suggests that rather than trying to end the suffering of Gazans, Biden is instead looking for an off-ramp that avoids solidifying the image of Israel as waging a gratuitous war that utterly failed to achieve its stated objectives.
