psst, here's a secret: i reference poses from pictures posted here. is this cheating? i don't care if it is; that's how i learn things and unless i find a better method (which doesn't involve going out and staring at passerbys), i'll keep doing this.

also note to self: get out of your LoK funk first and then complain that the space!fic you're writing lacks that 'futuristic je ne sais quoi'.

... and here's to hoping that i used french words that exist in that last sentence.
