Grrl Power #535 – The best defensiveness is a good offensiveness
English has the word “twice” and even the somewhat archaic “thrice” but there’s no words beyond that. Fource? Frice? uh… Sice? It’s odd having a sequence that caps out at three.
Apparently this elite military squad’s schedule includes a 1 pm break for sunning. It’s kind of ridiculous I know, but given their public relations responsibilities it makes some amount of sense. Maybe this is just how those guys are spending their lunch hour. Though I don’t imagine you get an hour for lunch in any part of the military… except Archon. Other parts of the service probably consider Arc-SWAT to be a real cushy assignment compared to say, serving on the deck of a carrier… and they’d be right, especially considering the pay differential. But as the only part of the military that has a continual domestic presence, getting your hair did or going on a shopping spree to a fancy store with lots of cameras around is part of their M.O. So yeah, when SEAL Team 6 digs on Arc-SWAT for having spa days, they can be all “boo hoo, now I’m going to teleport on to my pile of money and have a blub.”
Varia’s bikini is nice and… I don’t know, exotic’s the wrong word, but it seems to be a good match for her. But I don’t think it’s the sort of thing you’d want to get a tan in, cause the tan lines would be weird looking. They do make UV (semi) transparent cloth, but the necklace thing it’s attached to would leave a pale ring around your neck.
Ooh, someone should make a UV transparent shirt with a non-UV transparent part that says “dork” or looks like a dong. Buy it as a gift for someone you don’t like!
You know what, I forgot to put a hat and sunglasses on Sydney. According to everything I’ve established about her, she should be as blind as a Drow seeing her first sunrise right now.
Oh, and uh, ignore the fact that the pool seems to have gotten bigger since I drew it last. Actually the only time I think I’ve drawn it was some aerial shot of the Archon building, and it was just a little blue square on one of the towers, but I decided it needed a gazebo with a sofa and a fire pit, because as previously discussed, they’re all hardened military types like that.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Sydney’s body is my type. I love tiny women ♡_♡
you and me brother, you and me brother
We got an hour for lunch in the navy, at least.
That may or may not count as real military depending on who you ask.
It is the senior service (for Britain, and thereby most English-speaking countries).
Oh come on, Sydney, I’m sure you’re much nicer looking than those impossibly muscled monstrosities. I mean, I love all these characters, but I don’t actually find their sculpted bodies remotely appealing. Body builder body types in reality are very unhealthy, not to mention ugly.
An artist or two on DeviantArt would like to have word with you.
Agreed.
While I understand what you mean (though I highly disagree), Ie seen bodybuilders, male and female.
And they are nowhere CLOSE to being anything like that.
Your and my opinions aside Iḿ simply saying that maybe exaggerating like that was…. a little uncalled for.
I remember the story of the female sailor on a destroyer who found a place “out of the way” to sunbathe. Unfortunately it was still in view of certain areas, and the CO had to tell her to stop so that the other sailors could get work done, and not crowd those certain areas to the point of endangering themselves.
I have to wonder if she may not be Heliophobic given her earlyer overreaction to being in full sunlight.
Possibly Sydney may be using her play acting to cover a genuine fear. It would not be the first time that people have done that. However if you think to the scenes where they tested the PPO and subsequently out on the artillery range, with the press corp, and for that matter the press conference itself, those were all in direct sunlight. With Sydney showing no signs of distress.
Having had a phobia myself, I know that it is not something that you turn off and on. Any exposure would result in stress and a desire to escape the situation. Whereas, at the press conference, Sydney was even dozing off at one point! And a real heliophobe would have freaked out in the desert-like situation.
Finally Sydney loved flying, in bright sunlight, way too much for that to be a correct diagnosis.
syndey actually would look quite dashing in normal bikini
Yes, yes, I agree 100%

… Okay Sydney being established as straight is a little less firm than I thought.
Honestly wasn’t 100% sure those characters were POC till now, but good to know, I guess.
It actually shouldn’t be surprising that Sydney owns a wetsuit, given that she found the Orbs while scuba diving.
