I really love the little scribbles you do next to the boys in emotional moments.
They remind me of a certain feeling I have in emotionally charged moments that I've never found a word for and I've never heard described in stories but I think your drawings "describe" the feeling really well! Spot on, actually.
(you draw magnificentally!!)
Have good week.
Ohmigosh you noticed?!!??!
Awwwee!! Thank you so much! I absolutely love adding that scribbly detail to those emotional moments as you mentioned, yeah. Every character has their own like...energy and a certain "place" where their energy is like "stored" or originates from...if that makes sense. Those lil scribbles are something like ninpo, but it can't be like...harnessed or used. It kinda just...exists.
It's very intentional tho, so I really appreciate you commenting on it 🤗✨ Thank you thank you and I hope you have a good week as well!

Was rereading the first chapter, and: "Predictable, repeatable patterns he’s unconsciously memorized- even now, he’s absentmindedly counting down the seconds until the next potion is dispensed."
Do you think, even after ten years, Tango can still time exactly two minutes in his head? Do you think sometimes he finds himself tapping his fingers absently, and realizes there's exactly a second between each tap, stopwatch-perfect, like his hands are still expecting to feel the wither-cold pain of the roses? Do you think someone notices, and they jokingly call him a human metronome, and he has to laugh and pretend it's not because of the months he spent in constant agony?
"After that, his reflection showed that the tips of his ears had darkened- along with his feet and fingertips- and his wither-black tears left permanent stains under his eyes, persisting even after respawn."
Do you think his friends think the black marks are a blaze hybrid thing, but then they meet another blaze hybrid (maybe in MCC) and start to wonder? Do you think they ask? Do you think he makes an excuse about individual variation, or evades the question, or mumbles vaguely about the wither effect and changes the subject?
"He’s spent so much time with the wither effect- grown accustomed to it, even- that he can’t tell right away when it’s starting to overcome him."
Do you think that later, once he's out, he's fighting wither skeletons or even a wither (secret life?) and he nearly dies from the wither effect, because he didn't notice until it was almost too late? Do you think someone, a hermit or a teammate or even a soulmate, scolds him for being reckless with his health, but in his head he's back in Hels again, withering and healing and withering and healing and withering and healing for eternity?
"The chains- well, they seemed to have snapped when he respawned away from them, leaving just a few links attached to his shackles."
Clothes respawn with players. Do you think that's why the cuffs came with him, even though they were attached to the wall? Do you think that after the "training" mentioned in the comic, he considers them a part of him, to the point where his own code does, too?
"Tango inhales deeply; he hadn’t realized he missed the smell of fire so much."
Do you think that even now, he associates fire with freedom and relief and finally, no more pain? Do you think that after flashbacks and nightmares and panic attacks, he sits by a fire and reminds himself that it's not real, it's been years, he's free? Do you think someone finds him, and sits with him, and he realizes that free doesn't have to mean alone?
And in the most recent drabble: "what if the only thing stopping him from reverting back to his old ways is the illusion of control maintained by these shackles?"
Do you think that when he's in the nether, when he sees a fortress, he thinks of the wither skeletons? Do you think that just for a moment, he almost considers withering himself on purpose, another illusory layer of control, to make sure he stays good?
ohhhkay, ok i’m normal about this, i promise. HM. YEAH. suffice to say, this is an amazing ask, but to avoid making it too long or giving too much away i’ll provide very brief answers (to each respective question) below.
yes, yes, and yes. a lot of things from his time at hels tek have stuck with him even after all these years.
yes, yes, and the first one (“that’s just my own unique personal flair!”). luckily this came up at a time when he’d gotten better at lying.
yes and yes, for the first few times he encountered wither skeletons and/or the wither after escaping to hermitcraft. impulse was very concerned.
yes and yes. surely this won’t be relevant in the future…
yes, yes, and sorta- he’s still working on that.
yes, the presence of wither skeletons is one of the main reasons he dislikes the nether (aside from it reminding him of hels). and actually no; before now, the cuffs have been enough for him and he hates the thought of being withered again.

K, N, W for Biker Bucky, please!
These were answered with Bucky & Bug in mind.
K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)
Bucky is a service/pleasure dom, he wants to be in control and he wants to use that control to make you feel so fucking good. He enjoys some rougher elements such as choking and spanking (giving) as well as hair pulling and biting (receiving). He enjoys fooling around in public (he had you ride his thigh in a public park for Christ sake), dirty talk (he whimpers and talks you through it), and definitely wants to be called Daddy.
N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)
Bucky would shut down over being degraded or shamed; as we've started to explore the man is dealing with some serious self-esteem issues and it would hit too close to home for him. He isn't necessarily opposed to sharing you sexually, but only if he's there as well, otherwise open or romantically polyamorist relationships are a non-starter.
W= Wild card (random headcanon)
He has the pair of panties he took off you the first time he ever ate you out wrapped around the right handlebar of his bike, he says it's a token to the best day of his fucking life (so far), and his good luck charm.
