#taffy before the guild: dark. tired. bent on revenge/retribution. depressing.

TAFFFFFYYYYYY!!!! taffy fans see him once and immediately scream SHHSJS i didn't realize he was so tall :o what terms are he and lime/he and oscar on? i know lime is pretty much buddies with oscar, and semi??? frenemies??? with coco (as of where the webtoon left off???) but since taffy has not made his grand appearance i'm quite curious

YEAH I KNOW THE TAFFY STANS ARE STARVING IM SORRY I NEVER DRAW HIM I WANT HIM TO BE A BIT OF A BOMBSHELL UNFORTUNATELY IM VERY SLOW SO HE ONLY LIVES IN MY HEAD!!!!!!!!

yess hes the tallest in the guild when he joins...tallest to shortest its taffy, lime, oscar, coco, mochi (mochi is also smol which is why hes very tall in that picture)

aaa his relationships with the boys is a lot more sketchy than his relationship with mochi and coco!! coco obviously trusts him the most out of all of them so theyre on very good terms. mochi understands where he came from and also understands she can hand his ass to him again if he were to try to kill her for whatever reason, so shes not afraid of him and is willing to give him a chance to be Good™️. eventually him and mochi become good friends and hes the only friend of hers that was born with magic, so they understand each other quite well.

LIME...,....lime is still sus about taffy. but whatever mochi says goes. shes not a bad judge of character so while lime doesnt trust taffy, he does trust mochi, so he can live with it. ofc he offhandedly tells him not to get any ideas with mochi cuz he has dibs already (not in those words but thats the idea), and taffy actually has no idea what lime is trying to tell him shejfjdjf help this poor man. later though lime and taffy have good battle synergy!! the lightning + water combo is pretty deadly so when lime isnt fighting with mochi, hes usually fighting with taffy!! so eventually theyre cool.

oscar is the most sus of taffy. and it sticks around for a bit. mostly because oscar knows him the least, and also is naturally more skeptical so while he does trust mochi, hes not ready to trust her judgement yet. so he keeps an eye on taffy. not in a "im watching you *fingers to eyes motion*" all the time, but he just keeps note. maybe brings it up his concerns with mochi and/or coco. i think its underlying blame against taffy for what happened to oscar BECAUSE of taffy (it was amanitas doing, but oscar still associates taffy with amanita in his brain since they were on the same side for a while). they probably have a talk and oscar gets to understand him more. out of all of them, oscar understands taffys situation/circumstances/past the least, so it takes more time for him to "accept" him (as in accept the fact that hes a part of the guild now). but eventually theyre also cool!! he just becomes the tired friend whose always eating fruit cocktail out of the fridge at 2am and working night shifts at the ship dock. tired dad friend who also unlocks his inner dumbass after joining the guild!!
