AOS fanart: Renegades #3

2016-03-26T21:02:20Z

In which Fitz and Simmons join Ward’s and Mike’s ragtag team.

Renegades series on AO3

I'm really happy with how this turned out. :) I asked for prompts and got so many different character suggestions that I thought, why not do an ensemble piece.

(no character hate in comments please.)

aos fanart: Headcanon comic cover

2016-01-05T18:05:58Z

Been a while since I posted here... let's see if I remember how it works ;)

I already posted this one, but since I'm between jobs atm, I used the time to fix some older fanart. In this case, I gave Kara Palamas her real face... something that had bugged me to no end.

note: I love Kara Palamas and Grant Ward and will be forever bitter about the way canon treated them. I don't want to discuss it here and I don't want any comments dissing any of the characters in this pic. (aos is the kind of fandom where you need to state this)

The feedback for my inks came back and I got no corrections! Yes! And the inks are already incredibly detailed, which should make coloring that much easier.

While I waited for the fb, I made fanart... plotless fluff, as an antidote to painful canon. Part of my Wardlok verse (Though the puppy looks like a different breed; I wasn't very concerned with continuity. I just want Ward to have a dog really.)

—What do you mean the vigilante lifestyle is not the right way to raise a puppy?

"My Lullaby" by Suzanne Pleshette
Zira - Garrett
Kovu - Ward
Nuka - Quinn
Vitani - Raina

(I never watched the second Lion King movie so I just googled the character of Kovu out of curiosity and man, the parallels are uncanny.)

another SHIELD fic rec

2014-09-23T16:07:41Z

Real by Scheherazade's Daughter
Summary: "How much of it was real?" Skye and Ward meet after the fall of SHIELD. Post-finale Skyward redemption fic ... sort of. You should know by now that nothing I write is ever that simple. (~5000 words)

"Name?" the triage nurse asked him.
"Grant … Simmons," former SHIELD Agent Grant Ward told her. "Grant Simmons," he repeated, with a little more conviction.
The nurse, a stern, gaunt woman with iron-gray hair and pea-sized spectacles, raised an eyebrow. "Chief complaint?"
"I'm sorry; what's that?"
"What's wrong with you?" she asked with exaggerated patience.
Ward gave a short, humorless laugh. That question would take several hours to answer.

Another one today, 'cause this one's gonna get jossed in less than ten hours.

"Look, have I made some questionable choices along the way? Yes, but, I'm also that scared little kid at the well and I don't think we can forget that. You know, that scared little kid who couldn't shoot his dog even when Bill Paxton told him to." -- Brett Dalton

God, these two are ridiculously cute together.

Well, now that Chloe Bennet and Brett Dalton are on the record saying the exact thing we've been arguing on tumblr all along, I wonder if they'll get called nazi apologists [aaaand, it's already happened, that was quick] and shitty persons for their troubles as well. I hope not, but it won't surprise me. Someone already called the writers shitty people so.

anti-Ward people, if there are any left: stay outta here.

Well, here it is: a mock comic cover for my Season Two Wardlok headcanon, based on some intriguing speculation I’ve seen here. (X)

If anyone wants to write a fic based on this pic, please do! (Unless you dislike Grant Ward, should be needless to add.)

A kickass fanmade trailer for a kickass show. Much cooler than any of the official trailers, if you ask me.

people missing the point big time:

"You are allowed to fangirl a villain, why do you insist that Ward should be redeemed instead?"

Because I love the character and watched him go through years of abuse and brainwashing that caused him to be the way he is, and I want him to heal and get a chance to atone, that's why. But hey, it's great to know I have your permission. I know I'll sleep better knowing that.

Okay, this was posted today by a sergeantbuckybearbarnes in response to a Grant Ward appreciation post. It's just the latest in the long line of slowly but steadily escalating posts against the character and fans of the character.
I see anyone I’m following joining in on “Grant Ward appreciation week” and you’ll be unfollowed and publicly shamed for being a bad fucking person. Appreciate a good villain all you like, but the moment you try and paint them as a good person, you’re an unforgivable cunt and I don’t wanna look at you.
+ you're a fucking cunt OP + 'wow this asshole is sooooo dreamy' + go lie down and rethink your life choices + (X)
(There was more, that's just one.)

We've finally reached the harrassment and bullying stage. All in the name of righteousness and social justice, of course.

So I'm gonna make this quick: I suspect I have people on my LJ/DW circles who agree with that person. If you do, I want you to unfriend me ASAP, no ifs, no buts. I'm turning off comments: this signals my absolute unwillingness to discuss this even a little bit, either here or via email. You think that poster is right, leave right now. I'm beyond furious at this point, and not putting up with this shit.

eta: look, if you don't do it now, I will do it soon as I catch you reblog shit like that, or see you contribute to this climate of hostility towards me and my fellow Ward fans. Might as well get it over with now.
