Don’t get me wrong, I love a brat. I love it when they shove me off and fight back, it just makes forcing them to their knees that much sweeter.
But what I really want is them on their knees for me like they don’t know how to do anything else. I want them whining and whimpering my name like it’s the only thing they remember how to say. Gripping at my shirt even though they’re right under me, fingers digging into my skin like they can’t bare to be separated from me.
I want them drooling and desperate for it from the beginning, for me, for everything that I can give them.
And that is!! 18 of 18 pages!! It's this long because I didn't want to break up their fight. I hope you enjoy :)
I had to rewrite their fight like,,, 3 times lmao. I'm not very good at writing fights because I'm Incredibly Passive Aggressive and Very Non Confrontational. Thankfully my partner helped me out a bit with making the escalation feel natural, so hopefully their grievances and motivations read well. In the end, both of them are starving probably-emotionally-stunted teenage boys in a high-stress situation, and Tage is being faced constantly with one of the biggest sources of his trauma that he doesn't even remember-- of course he's going to lash out.
Fun thing I learned this time around, if I struggle with planning a chapter, it can kind of help to write it out in prose like I would a fanfic, and then translate it to comic form. This is how I eventually ended up with 18 pages of comic,,, because I can't really estimate how much I'll need to draw when I'm writing in prose. In turn, this did help a lot with adding more natural behaviors between dialogue, like Tage tapping his finger to fidget while crossing his arm, or all of their pointing and gesturing while they're arguing.
like i get that it was probably something adrienne said on a whim without taking into consideration the stuff they put in game (with the sheer length of the script i Really don't blame them) but it's super fucking funny to think about isabeau getting sick from milk and yet it being his favourite drink anyway
it's an unironically really good bit of characterization even if it's not intended and only something real information-obsessed freaks will notice. i love him so much.
I'm late with this for sooo many reasons, and I was meaning to finish him for @clonefandomevents' Trans Clone Week.... but I've still made better time with this one than with Cody at least ^^;
Belongs to a small collection with Ace!Wolffe from last June
