Agent York - Tumblr Posts

POV: You're york

So it's almost 4 am and I just finished rewatching some Red Vs Blue. And I came to the conclusion that there is not nearly enough Agent York on the internet. So I came home and searched the Agent York and Yorkalina tags. And goddammit tumblr how dare you do this to me?! I trusted you with my feelings! I don't know how fictional characters can make me want to whimper like a fucking five year old! You should be ashamed of yourself. I should probably go to bed.

YEEEEE! My awesome friend did a cuddle request from me of York and Carolina! My internal organs feel so fluffy and made of looooooove.

This is for my good buddy :) She got me to watch red vs blue to its current ep. Season ten guys: heavy stuff. Here is York and Carolina :”’D

Hi there! This is your secret santa! Do you have any particular favorite haeadcanons for York? (or any of the freelancers really ahaha)

Haha oh gosh that’s a really good question. I guess I should have thought about it more in the past! A lot of the things I assume about him are kind of loosely based on canon? I’ll try to give you some! Sorry for the extended rambling.Well, I don’t really have any specific headcanons for his physical appearance, given that we’re pretty much shown what he looks like out of armor in the show. I guess in general I always assume that all of the freelancers have plenty of scars, crooked fingers, healing bruises, etc. than are really shown, given their line of work.One point where I diverge a little bit is I guess a lot of people perceive York as kind of incompetent, given that most of the scenes featuring him show him failing to get through locks. Despite that, he’s still number two (then three) on the leaderboard, right under Carolina. I always kind of assumed that he was a lot better at his job than was let on. He doesn’t covet his skills or his ranking like some of the other freelancers do, so he can take a joke about his own abilities.Overall, I always imagine him being very group-oriented and extroverted. He likes to keep the mood light, doesn’t take himself too seriously. He’s pretty charismatic and can get along with almost anyone if he tries hard enough — even South and Tex. He’s also very protective of his friends and the people he cares about. I imagine he doesn’t like it when there’s a lot of group conflict. He really just wants everyone to be safe and happy. To this end he can be a bit of a joker, sometimes even taking it to the extreme and seeming a little asinine to people who are more sensitive I also envision him as a little bit impulsive when it comes to things that he wants to do — he just goes ahead and does them and sometimes doesn’t stop to think how other people may not think something is as awesome as he is.That being said, York seems like an idealist to me. He wants everything to go over smoothly, and he has ideas in his head of how things would go in a perfect world. In his mind he works with a team that’s basically a small family, they’re the good guys who go out and save the world. You can see it a little bit too in his relationship with Carolina — in his perfect world they run away together and escape the project. As with a lot of idealists, though, when real life lets him down he can get a bit melancholy. Out of Mind York is much less carefree and lackadaisy than Project Freelancer York; he’s had a huge dose of reality (losing his friends, Carolina, having to steal to survive) and he’s a bit bitter, a bit tired, a bit sad. But he still keeps his streak of optimism,  he jokes with Tex and Delta, and he tries to do what’s right.I think he and Delta probably get along better and better as time goes on. They work pretty well together in Project Freelancer, even if they do snipe at each other a little bit, but by the events of Out of Mind it seems like they’ve become very close friends (Delta’s willing to die with him). I’ve also kind of jumped on the assumption that he. North, and Wash were pretty close friends during the project. I mostly ship him with Carolina, because I think it’s really subtle and cute and I love relationships where the woman seems like the dominant partner. Also I’m not very creative with shipping so there’s that.

Some assorted headcanons: York is a caffeine addict. He drinks unhealthy amounts of coffee. Sometimes he does it because he needs to stay awake for a mission or a meeting, but sometimes he drinks coffee just because he likes it. For absolutely no reason whatsoever I also envision him as a really tactile person. He likes lots of physical affection, people playing with his hair, generally being close to other people. He doesn’t give nearly as many awkward hugs as Florida, but there are some in the heat of the moment. I imagine this drives some of the more reserved freelancers crazy, and has gotten him more than one black eye from South. I can also see York being a movie buff. He doesn’t really like the artsy, oscar-winning stuff, but he likes unabashed action movies. He likes “classics” like James Bond. He also likes Zombie movies. He also seems like the type to impose cheesy traditions or activities on the other freelancers: Christmas parties, snowball fights, the like. He likes animals, especially dogs but also cats on occasion. He gets along well with kids but should most definitely not be trusted to be the responsible adults supervisor (if York babysits someone should come along to babysit York).So, I’m sure that was far more than you ever wanted, but there it is! I won’t do any of the other freelancers in this post but if you want me to go into detail about them or if you have any other questions feel free to message me again! =3Sorry this turned into such a behemoth. 

Some selfies with my adorable York plush made by the lovely Roni! He's so cute! Maybe later I will take some up-close pictures of just him later when I am less lazy. Oh Gosh he's so adorable!! I, on the other hand, am 100% not cute so for that I am sorry. Also excuse that line in the picture, apparently my front-facing camera is being a butt.

Honk mimimmm

Juuuuussssttt a reminder that Wash has a mini emp in his suit, has bad luck with cars, and is actually around 6th on the leader board despite the jokes about him being a bad fighter (specifically York)

Did some traditional today :] drew various rvb guys who i don't draw often

I normally get to a point in a special interest where I can draw characters off by heart without even thinking about it, currently that's Tucker and Tex, but I wanted to do some practice outside of those two to be able to include more of these guys in daily doodles

From now on, we will be using code names…

HELLO EVERYONE TIME FOR A SILLY RVB HEADCANON

North used to cook pancakes for all the Freelancers when he could occasionally get his hands on the ingredients. It was never easy to get the stuff he needed or to make them on the Mother of Invention, but he didn’t mind because everyone (even South and Carolina) always lit up when he made the pancakes for them, and it was one of the only periodic/consistent bright points in their lives, as small and insignificant as it might have seemed on the surface. pancakes are still Wash and Carolina’s favorite food to this day but it’s not something they really talk about due to the emotions connected with the memory.

____________________________________________

Bonus:

Wash naturally wakes up earlier than the reds and blues, so he tried to remember how North used to do it so he could make them pancakes one morning, but he completely botched it. Embarrassed, he disposed of the remains of the scorched confections before the reds and blues woke up so they wouldn’t know about it and acted like nothing happened, but he stayed up all of that next night trying to get the recipe right. When the soldiers woke up that morning it was to the delicious scent of pancakes, which a very tired but happy Washington was just finishing preparing for them. Even though there weren’t perfect and were shaped a little lopsided, everyone loved them and ate together, having a great time and very appreciative of the surprising gesture.

It was a very bittersweet moment for Wash, and though he didn’t let the others see, he teared up from the memories of his old friends/family enjoying the same treat back on the Mother of Invention. It was happy crying too, though, because he knew that North would have been proud of him.

Carolina is the only one who understands the real meaning behind the gesture, and even her prickly demeanor softens at the memories that morning, as in that bittersweet moment she chooses to sit back and remember the good things, like York always sneaking her an extra pancake and the freelancers actually feeling like real people for once instead of just weapons. She doesn’t say anything, but nods to Wash to tell him that he did a good job, and the entire group enjoys the loveliest Saturday morning that they’ve had in a while.

(Bonus bonus…… after that, Wash discovers that he actually really likes cooking because it makes him feel good to make people he loves happy. He is god awful at it, though, and asks Grif to teach him in secret, then after weeks and weeks of lessons, cooks Tucker a genuine meal and he’s amazed and it’s amazing and wholesome af)
