The Near Future For Season 3 Was Lookin A Little Bleak So I Tried To Depict It (so Hyped) (they're Not

ridiculously pumped for season 3 y'all got no idea

Prison Tattoos

“Rule number one for surviving prison: the tougher you look, the easier your ability to choose the person you want to be while you’re inside. Be labeled or perceived as a punk, a bitch, or a weakling, and you will have your public perception on the inside chosen for you. So you can lift weights, learn to fight, practice snarling in a mirror — you can do all these things, but none of them will accomplish as much for you as getting a [good] tattoo.” — Chris Dankovich in The Tales of a Former Prison Tattoo Artist

An alternative idea to my first, more pessimistic Season 3 Prediction, in which they find him looking a little more like this ^

For the tattoo designs I did a lot of research and I chose them carefully. The snake tattoo I chose because it is: A. Not affiliated with any particular real-world gang, B. Common among white prisoners (many prison tattoos are racially specific), and C. Notably, not a nazi thing (I did check). Snake tattoos can sometimes symbolize change or rebirth because of the way they shed their skin, but there doesn’t seem to be any one, universal meaning for them. For Blyke here, I thought it would serve as a message to other inmates: “Don’t touch me, I’m venomous.”

The rose with a dagger through it can mean many things in the free world, but in prison it means someone was locked up before they reached adulthood. I don’t know if people typically get this as kids or if they get them when they grow up (probably the latter), but I imagine that Blyke gets it because: “I was a kid when they locked me up. But now... I’m a man. Grr, hng, and other macho man noises.”

He looked up at the sky, and risked a quick glance at Painter. The AIs eyes were wide, mouth agape. “It really does go on forever.” He breathed. Sebastian let out a wet chuckle, tears threatening at the corners of his eyes. “Wait until you see the stars.” He said, smiling through his bleary eyes. “You'll bring me out tonight?” “Promise.”

"What once felt unbearably hot is now a cold that reaches into the deepest depths of his soul and attempts to snuff out every last trace of life."
