Basira Hussain - Tumblr Posts

I love making myself cry :D

Basira "I am a fifth wheel" Hussain my beloved

“you done?”

@jonmartinweek day 2: outsider pov! i didn’t completely know how to interpret that prompt but i got to draw a funny haha season 5 moment so it worked out in the end

THE girlboss Basira

⚠️TMP 24 Spoiler⚠️

Okay Basria- you had your minute-

Lets give my beloved- I mean----

🚪💙👁

Let's give Miss Helen Richardson a turn :).

pov: you're a tape recorder after the apocalypse ended

I’m not even gonna lie I’ve been waiting to make this joke since Daisy died

SCREAMING THE INTERACTION WITH BASIRA IS SO AWKWARD

A list of archivists that gets less and less canon as it goes on

art block is unforgiving so i keep making non-stop shitposts (because that’s the only thing i’m willing to draw)

i used dan hentschel’s youtube thumbnails for reference by the way

+ happy pride

Some season 3 profiles practice I drew while listening. I still haven't looked at much fanart because I do not want to be spoiled so these are just what they look like in my head going from their voices. My buddy said he thinks Melanie has a bob haircut and I agree tbh she would fuck up a Bob.

I really hate coloring things in but I wasn't as unhappy with Jon as the rest of them so I left him. I love green so it's probably just that lol

Finished season 3 tho. :(

Some really stupid season 3-4ish mag sketches plus obligatory crumpling Jon up into a ball (And also s1 Jon is there writing his gay little statements whatever).

I say s3-4 cuz Helen ya know here's another Helen under the cut my beloved they could never make me hate you. You are the not a who but the moment the icon the legend:

I'm sharing some more dumbass things I've drawn in another post cuz there are early season 5 references (I'm on MAG 169) so check that out if you're caught up to there if not begone no spoilers for you ok byeeeee

I still haven't finished season three.

I made a little comic from that one part in The Last

Look at me posting everything I’ve ever made.

Here’s some TMA content, I made this midway through the series because I needed to see them all happy and okay. I used a stock photo for reference lawl!

thought i’d try and experiment with digital painting, facial proportions are weeeeird. here’s basira!

hi, this is really cool! i’ve been loving reading your posts about this

also, i have a thought on who would be the one able to “steal” powers! i am not sure if you’ve made a power for her yet, but Basira fits the power-stealing vibe imo

Reasoning (and Tma season 5 spoilers) under the cut

So Basira is kinda weird with Avatar stuff. She isn’t an Avatar, as far as we know, but she can throw hands with the Dread Powers for sure. So, that’s one mark for “no power of her own but can mess with those who have powers”

And the larger reason is what she does in season 5 after she kills Daisy. She takes/inherits/*steals* Daisy’s ability to meander through domains. You see where I’m going?

Also, this is a very small thing but i think it still contributes. When she first joins the Institute, she goes on this huge reading spree—taking in all the knowledge she can from the place she didn’t want to be in before, but now sort of had to be.

Now let's talk about Georgie in the superheroes AU! And wtgfs, and jongeorgie. Strap on!

I was just thinking, since I like her a lot and and her whole shtick in canon is to not feel fear (=not be influenced at all by them) but mostly that I like her a lot and I want her to have nice things, why not give her the ability to temprorarily erase other's powers? Like... Well let's not lie there are literally SO many people with that set of powers in media. Rogue, Alexia Tarabotti, Leech the mutant, Eraserhead, Amon, Number Seven,... Buncha cool people basically.

So, extremely powerful. But since she's Georgie... She doesn't want anything to do with that superhero business. Not at all. Nope. Categorically not. Forever civilian. That also means that while she has one of the strongest powers, she is entirely untrained in hand-to-hand combat and is actually kinda weak against anyone/villain/supe who doesn't rely overly on their powers or has like. A weapon.

Also the irony that the only person that might have a shot at taking down Dr. Magnus/The Watchman, the only person he fears (probably) has dated both of his ex-teammates is... not lost on me. I think it's kinda funny! So is the fact Georgie could take him down if she wanted but doesn't because she doesn't want to get involved, period.

Since she won't be doing much actual fighting, I dare think I'm allowed to give her very few drawbacks to her powers. So like, there will be someone else in the AU who can "steal" powers with a touch, I think (this really is one of my fav powers to give out, uh) (suggestions?) but for Georgie it's just. Area effect. She activates it and suddenly everyone in a certain distance of her can't do shit no more. It does tire her though. I'm thinking if she trained she could expand her "area of effect", control the distance she wants better, and work it for longer? But she's not interested in any of that. So!

Or maybe it's only one person at a time. Mmmh. But I also don't really need to give her limitations, so. We'll see, depending on what the plot requires when I actually get around to thinking about that particular can of worms.

Nowadays, she is dating Melanie, obviously. There's a certain poetry in knowing your partner is the only one that makes you vulnerable, the only one who could kill you if you asked. I think Melanie equal parts fears and respects her for it. It's a bit of danger in her life that she loves because adrenaline junkie but also she doesn't wholly trust Georgie even though she has no reason not to. It's... She's got complex feelings about this, man.

She used to be dating Jon, which went about the same as in canon I suppose. There's an added layer there though, with Georgie being the only one capable of giving Jon a reprieve, of sorts, from feeling/being harrassed by all the emotions of people around him. Did I say already that's something he struggles with a lot? He really does. He's having a terrible time. Puppy just wants a break from it all. And Georgie could give him that! And quite happily too. Although not all the time. Jon used to feel quite awful about it though, like he was using her for her powers. He questionned more than once if he was only with her because of what she could do for him. He wasn't, he truly loved her, but yknow. Jon's gonna Jon.

Georgie has complex feelings about her powers not being treated as a curse that removes people's abilities for once but instead a blessing with Jon. She has complex feelings about making Melanie human, about holding so much power over her life. Yadda yadda yadda, I'm sure you can imagine what all those feelings are.

WIP of a tma height chart i’m doing, also doing one for the entities n stuff
