hi :') what are blink and mush's favorite and least favorite things about each other? & how do they make up after they fight/disagree/hurt the other person?
helo 👁️👁️ unrelated to your ask but Tumblr user sarahjacobs I love your art very much... .. ..
Blink loves being around Mush because he's sunshine, packed tight into a person (his good looks are a fortunate plus). The same trait that occasionally confounds him, he treasures. Maybe it's a side effect of being friends so long, or maybe Blink has been trained to relax at the sight of Mush's face, because he knows good things are to come. There are a lot of things in life Blink isn't sure about, but what he knows is that a world where Mush is unhappy is not one he ever wants to visit.
Mush appreciates all the little things in life enough for the both of them. He has hope, and holds it tight. Blink admires that. He wishes he were that optimistic.
Mush likes Blink most for how resilient he is. They see the world through different eyes, but from the very beginning, all it took was one look for Mush to know Blink was a fighter, in more ways than one. Blink could make a boring day exciting. He saw something he wanted, he went after it. Mush admires that a lot.
In his youth, Mush couldn't count the number of times he was told what he was, and where he was going to stay, no matter what he did to try and change his fate. He found the only thing he could control was himself, and the way he viewed the world. He grew up feeling small and helpless. Blink changed that.
The downside of Blink's determination is his hair-trigger temper. He tends to batter anybody who even vaguely pokes fun at him. In a second, his mood can change from docile to volatile, and Mush is often the one who has to calm him down, because nobody else cares to try.
It works, of course, because in a symphony of voices, Mush is the only one that Blink ever hears. Mush knows Blink cares about him, trusts him and his judgement more than anybody else. It's control, in a way—the thing Mush lacks. And it scares him. He doesn't trust himself. He doesn't have all the answers. Or much of any at all, as a matter of fact. Mush simply doesn't want Blink to get hurt.
And as for making up after a fight:
Mush is the type of guy who takes a couple days to think, and formulate a good response. Blink, on the other hand, is the same way with apologies that he is with most other things in life: hasty and flustered.
His relationship with Mush is the most important thing in Blink's life. The slightest hint of disturbance in their carefully crafted peace, and Blink can't think. He can't breathe, can't eat, can't sleep. He's tossing and turning, pacing around and dragging hands through his hair in a futile attempt to calm himself down. He'll say anything he needs in order to make Mush happy.
Unfortunately, Mush can tell when Blink is just saying what he wants to hear, and when he's truly being sincere. He'd much rather Blink be honest with him, and actually reflect, instead of spewing excuses and promises to change and be better.
When Blink knows he's wrong, or he's done something bad, he apologizes to Mush right away. Even if he doesn't particularly regret throwing a punch or two, what he does regret is making Mush upset.
When Mush does something wrong, he gets a bit sullen, but hides his face against Blink's shoulder and tells him he's sorry.
Mush is the only person in the world Blink's willing to work on himself for. At the end of the day, they always manage to make up within a day or two. They cannot live without each other for long.
