I know something is going on with the colors in My Stubborn.

I got eyes.

Which is why I noticed this most likely unauthorized Care Bear that's probably Togetherness or True Heart Bear in the trailer.

Just like I noticed when Sorn and Jun were at the club, they were both mixing their colors while they were making out with other people but looking at each other.

I also noticed that Sorn had Jun grab a mask from his car to cover up the bruise from the night before and that mask just happened to be black.

As if Jun had to cover up something else that happened the previous night . . .

Oh, and I noticed that Sorn walked into a shop with mainly black clothing.

And walked out of there with a new black shirt for Jun to wear.

So I appreciate that even though Sorn is constantly teasing and being a jerk to Jun, that Jun stays disrespectful to Sorn like by telling Sorn to keep his mouth shut about their arrangement, telling him to mind his business every time Sorn asks about Jun's life, and by throwing Sorn's shirt back at him the second he got someone else's clothes to put on. It's like he is telling Sorn he likes the dick but not the man attached to it, and Sorn deserves that treatment.

But more than anything, I noticed that when Sorn was with Ms. HR Violator, the pink lighting was super soft.

But with Jun . . .

It's dark.

It's deep.

And it's aggressive.

So I can't wait for Sorn to realize he fucked up and fell in love.

Because then maybe I can see these two lighten up to each other.

And get that soft pink lighting.

But for now, I'm thrilled to see them be bed friends acquaintances.

While Sorn becomes more possessive.

And for these two to fuck up the friendship.

So this pretty man can start brooding.

And get his friend lover back.

I love it here

what is your opinion on people who are always like "omg it's us, but it's desertduo" as in they're happy thing think their relationship is like desertrduo

cause when I see that, I laugh, because desertduo in my eyes is doomed to fail. one of the single most important things in a relationship is communication

which is the thing they do not have, and are worst at.

communication.

i think this is a thing I have noticed in shinyduo as well. they both are bad at communicating.

To me I think the biggest problem between Scar and Grian will always be their differing ways of showing affection and their struggles to understand/communicate with each other about this difference.

Grian struggles with verbally showing he cares, so he'll often express his love through actions. Grian will make other people his responsibility and will work and work and work tirelessly for those people. The problem with this, though, is twofold.

The first problem is that Grian can come across as overbearing, giving people the impression he's nagging or undervaluing them because he doesn't verbalize his concern or affection. Grian can take care of Scar all day, but when all Scar hears are complaints, he'll feel like Grian doesn't care. Grian struggles with verbally affirming his care for other people, but sometimes it's needed, and it damages his relationships that he often can't do that.

The second problem is that Grian builds underlying resentment for the fact that people rarely seem to appreciate how much he does for them. He isn't completely wrong to feel this way, because, frankly, I do wish people would pay more attention to his caretaking behavior. But Grian actively sabotages himself as well by never communicating that he feels unappreciated in a productive way.

Plus, because of his self imposed caretaker role, Grian will often make unilateral decisions for a team without minding his partners input, which leads to a further lack of trust from both sides of the relationship.

Scar, on the other hand, usually expresses his affection and care upfront. He's friendly, approachable, he won't hesitate to tell people he loves them, or say what someone means to him. Scar is good at making people feel good and affirming his affection for them.

That being said, his affection can come across as "shallow" at times. Scar is often very bad at picking up on, let alone fulfilling, the needs of his partner. While Grian absolutely needs to work on communicating what he wants from Scar, that doesn't take away from the fact that Scar very much should be putting an effort into making sure Grian feels like the labor in their relationship is equal when they team, because generally it's not.

Scar is a very verbal person, he's upfront with his own feelings most of the time, so he also expects to be told when his partner needs something, not just emotionally, but also with tasks that need to get done). Which is understandable, but frankly, genuinely shouldn't be Grian's responsibility half as often as it is.

Scar isn't off the hook for selfish decision making either, because he will often struggle to see other people's viewpoints or understand that not everyone feels the same way he does about certain things, which can lead to him talking over or ignoring his partners wishes when he thinks he knows what's best for them.

Desert Duo have a lot of problems with how they express affection and communicate their needs.

However. Do I think they're inherently doomed? No.

Firstly, I think it largely depends on the setting. The gaps in their understanding of each other or how to be good partners to one another are widened by the life or death high stakes fast pace of the Life Series, but are bridged much more easily within the slow comfy safety of Hermitcraft. It's easy to look at their worst moments and say, there, that's why they can't work- but people don't have to be defined by their worst moments, and everyone's flaws look so much bigger when held under the lens of a death game. I think it's just as important to look at how Scar and Grian are when they're in a healthy setting as it is to look at them when they're in the most high stakes setting you can put two people into.

Plus, it's worth noting that a positive peaceful place like Hermitcraft isn't the only place they can work.

Sure, Scar and Grian absolutely had issues in Third Life, but I think it means something that they both made it to the end. That they got their fair fight. That they did it in their home. Giggling. Apologizing. It wasn't perfect, but it was theirs- and their "doom" didn't come from themselves, it came from an outside force. An outside force made them destroy themselves, and they did it in the kindest way they could, loving each other all the way down.

That isn't to minimize their issues, because they both have issues. They both hurt each other, and sometimes neither of them know how to stitch it back together. But they try, right? Sometimes their relationship is like stitching up a quilt. And it comes out kinda uneven and slightly off-color, but it's still nice enough to look at, and warm enough to keep them cozy at night, and they both like it so so much.

Scar and Grian get each other, they counteract each others worst insecurities and fears, they gravitate toward each other, they make each other laugh, they just plain like each other. That may not sound like much sometimes, but it's often enough for them, and I think that's important. I think their relationship is good for them more often than it's bad for them. Even if they don't always know how to reach each other.

when i think about walton goggins saying that cooper paid for the cherry tomatoes he took because stealing is against the ghoul’s morals, my brain goes to a special place.

iwtv_updates: Jacob felt pressure adding lines to the Reunion scene, as Sam told him these would become canon for his Lestat. Rolin approached Jacob with the idea first, knowing Sam would dislike it. Jacob agreed, enjoying the opportunity to wind Sam up.

I wanted to have all the character concepts before posting them, but Game Jam curse strike again and I'll be moving during the jam and I'm currently packing all of my things :'D but hey, I'm stubborn so I'll find a way.

That being said, I'm going to be dropping the concept art and stuff in a not specific order and hope for the best.

Love how Jacob gives the PR, diplomatic answer and Sam's just-

"ME AND JACOB SWAPPED LENSES ONCE" 👁️👄👁️

Lord, they’re really sharing every body fluid. i was about to say imagine them swapping fangs too but then i remembered they are molded to their teeth shape and that is the only reason that will prevent them 🤭
