They made up, almost :)
Okay, this was the last Catmael, I promise I won't draw it anymore (well, until someone requested more)
One of the few gifs that has full color. I actually thought of leaving it as a sketch, but I added a line and then a color… there is something to correct, but I am happy with the result
I love Heathmael as much as all of y'all but you gotta see how funny this ship is now after Canto V.
Ishmael all her life believing herself to be an exclusive woman lover with her undying love of Queequeg and the sparks of obsession with Ahab (she had the smallest crush on Ahab when she first boarded the Pequod, you cannot convince me otherwise).
And then she has her bisexual awakening in Canto V.
Imagine the sheer hilarious anguish she's feeling as she realizes that fucking Heathcliff is her bi awakening.
Heathcliff, who's always bickered and fought with her from day 1.
That very same Heathcliff who saved her just like what Queequeg did all those years back.
"Do I like men?" Ishmael thinks to herself one night.
"No. I just like Heathcliff." She retorts to herself before SCREAMING into her pillow. She refuses to think about this thought further but she knows that Heathcliff awakened something in her and she hates it.
i have been thinking about the combination of these two exchanges for days. you understand what i am saying, right. you understand how much this says about their relationship, right. you understand what i have been yelling about since the game's release, right.
Untapped Heathmael potential of both of them reminding the other of their partners.
Those two are professional HATERS of each other.
But at the same time Ishmael one day gets hit full-speed with the longing grief once she realizes Heathcliff’s silhouette reminds her of Queequeg. One time at the brink of death Heathcliff accidentally calls Ishmael "Cathy?", her red hair and the blood on his eyes causing him to mix up the two.
Ughhhhhh I understand that this is not the best time for Heathmael (6 canto, Catherine, all things)
But when I heard it, I literally did it today (yes, that's why it doesn't look very good at the end, I'm very tired)
You will not die, Heathcliff, not as long as you put your entire faith in me.
I swear upon my honor as Captain that I will bring you back to shore, safe and sound, into the arms of you dear, beloved Cathy.
You will not die because I will not allow you to die.
