EDIT: something Ben/Laz related but different - it’s sth like Laz the Mechanic / Mike P. Body - not usual B/L characters

not that I don’t have any ideas, believe me👀 I’m just doing a little research

(nsfw rickbond stuff is not one of the options bc I know you want that, you weirdos (I’m joking, I love you))

if you asked for sth and I still haven’t done it, it means I'm thinking about it or waiting for some inspiration (or I'm already working on it)

I'm leaving you with this random sketchbook spread, love ya 💜

hello! i'm a fellow rickbond fic writer and i'm desperately searching for something, and for some reason you came to mind (i think it might be the username?)

i vaguely remember a q&a answer (might have been via twitter) where either ben or larry confirmed who paces and who writes - and i cannot find it for the life of me! attempting to write a writing-for-bill era fic and want it to be at least slightly accurate lol

hi!

I asked my friend @bawdiestrhymester about this because I knew this was the person to turn to if you wanna get a legit answer💜

and it turnes out... Ben is the pacer, and Larry is the writer

link to the WANA podcast when they talk about it :)

anyway, if you're writing about writing-for-bill era, have this quick crazy Walsingham doodle (I haven't had a full night's sleep in over a week so this shows exactly how I feel 🙃)

your art style is so beautiful! i'm just in love with the way you draw larry and ben, you're genuinely fueling this entire ship :)

i'm a bit stuck for writing ideas and i was wondering if you had any sketches lying around that i could use for inspiration... (also i just want more rickbond fanart hehe)

pls never stop drawing them! <3

thanks! okaaaay, at the moment I don't have any sketches that I don't plan to finish, so I decided to cheat and fabricate one for you… 😈

…aaaand I had so much fun with the drawing that I didn't stop and finished it in one sitting😬

full illustration here - On the road

Boys took a little trip. Ben is driving. Laz is in charge of the snacks

if you want more inspiration you can check out my other illustrations, or just wait for me to get my shit together and finish one of my wips 😅

btw thanks for the message bc I kinda like how this random quick illustration turned out (sometimes I like what I did, sue me)

Laz the Mechanic 🔧

Okay alright OKAY Right, first of all, I love your art SO MUCH and I know I keep telling you, but that's because my love for your art keeps growing with every piece <3 That Mike Peabody pic? Ben as a villain??? WHY CAN'T WE HAVE A VILLAIN PLAYED BY BEN FUCKING WILLBOND?????? (technically we do in A Kind of Spark, but you know what I mean) NOW To be quite honest, I thought it was an illustration for one of your old fics "Aiming for Love" because that's exactly what i pictured for Ben (and Larry as well) to look like! xD So I was thinking, would you ever consider drawing a scene from one of your fanfictions? :> (And maybe, juuuuuust maybe, Mike could have a villanous right-hand man, Bob Hale...? 👀)

thank you for your fanart service 🙏

Don't stop telling me if you like something 👀 it's good to know when I'm doing things right 💜

omg yes, this is a perfect image of Ben from Aiming for Love

I've done 4 illustrations for my fics so far (all of them on my ao3), one of them was for the fic you mentioned - it's here

I also do the opposite - I write fics for illustrations I've already made 😅 like Fall for me and Movie Night (fail) (both fics in progress)

I can't believe that one day (6 months ago, I checked) I made a random illustration for one of my fics (Bruised, jesus, look at that old thing) and that's how it all started... and now I draw every day (!)

hmm… Mike P. Body and Bob W. Hale – this sounds… interesting (already on my to-do list)

feels weird not to post anything with this long-ass message so have my chaotic drawing process instead, 3h compressed to 30s, have fun watching me struggle ✌🏻 (and let me know what fic would you like me to do an illustration for 💜)

Mike P. Body

I was thinking about this guy today and thought: how about pissed off Mike Peabody villain style?

someone here mentioned that there aren't enough Ben villian characters, so I came up with my own

A hero that’s always in the middle of action - when you see him, you wish you were somewhere else… 😂 or not, I think I would be quite happy to see this guy

Lazzzz ♡︎

in response to the love handles ask, i love larry he’s so pear shaped and what an ass. that ASS

YES - that’s the only response I thought of…

unfortunately the only bum I have on me at the moment (that sounds weird) is Ben’s, from the painting in my sketchbook I did almost a year ago, so have this for now…

Cap & Robin

just two cute guys talking about stuff… 🪖🌘

Since you ship larry and ben, I wonder if you ship cap and robin, bcs for me it kinda makes sense. A repressed guy who never know anything about being intimate, and a guy that has lived seemingly a thousand life time, surprisingly knowledgeable and kind, pretty open with sexuality, and had 30 (?) Kids. Love your work as always ❤️

hmm… I get more like best friends kind of vibe from them?

Robin talks about moonah and stars and Cap listens, and Cap babbles about tanks and Robin listens… and sometimes they just drive eachother crazy (bc they both know better)

that’s how I picture them in my head ► Cap & Robin 🪖🌘

Your latest, beautiful, artwork has reminded me of that incident on the Inside Ghosts podcast last year... Ben and Larry were both calling in remotely because Ben had Covid and Larry had the flu, and Nathan straight up asked if they'd been kissing/up to anything. Larry immediately threw a defensive "NO!" at the accusation and Ben was Ben and said nothing... I don't know... Preeeeeeetty suspish!

yeah, the covid/flu thing... a bit suspicious 😏

btw I'm happy that you like my drawings 🖤

Hey, I absolutely love your art and makes me happy that you follow me (gessleingraphics) was wondering if you could try "angel and devil humphrey" from s5. I love how you draw larry 😊

thank you so much 💜 @geekstuffkittykat your art is cool and I love your use of colours!

devil Humphrey? I have no idea what you're talking about, he's the prettiest and gooooodest boy...

...maybe a bit cheeky and tends to have some weird-ass ideas, and sometimes he's just a bit rude and- okay, he's evil

okay SO i had this stupid idea inspired by these events

larry and ben are secretly in a relationship and one day they come to a meeting while both sliiightly under the weather, coughing and sneezing, because they spent the previous day cuddling and snogging on a couch. they have to call in sick the next day because they both caught the flu and while the others aren't suspicious, ben and larry are still the target of jokes like: 'who caught it first and forced it upon the other?' and 'you better not be laying in the same bed when i come with chicken soup for you, larry'

(sorry for the rant i just felt like you'd appreciate it as the ceo of rickbond 😭)

okay... @thecapdeservesanap, let me tell you something:

first of all - I wouldn't call this idea stupid, it's cute as hell

secondly - YES (overall)

thirdly... as the CEO of Rickbond (please engrave this on my tombstone, it made me laugh😂) I made sth inspired by your wonderful rant (feel free to rant about these two to me at any time)

I was thinking of this Laz drawing and wanted to do something similar with Ben

do u ever think about the fact that larry has love handles because i do

you spelt "how many times a day" wrong

I think about this guy a lot, and I take him with me wherever I go...

want a pocket-sized Laz to go with you? here⬎

young Cap, but actually one of Ben's characters from Horrible Histories
