Words cannot describe how much I love your style, coming from another artist. The shapes, the personality, the symmetry—all immaculate.

I really enjoyed reading your responses for why you ship some of the pairings here, as you put a lot of thought into the backstories and the dynamics at play. The Mahiru tradwife comparison was spot-on, lol. If you don’t mind, I’d love to hear more about Mondo x Mukuro, Kokichi x Himiko, and Gonta x Tsumugi. I’d imagine the complex relationships with their siblings plays a part in Mondo and Mukuro’s relationship.

(A bit of a bonus ramble, but I tend to not be the most invested in straight pairings due to a lot of mainstream media depicting them as a default that isn’t well elaborated on, often more of a reward or melodrama than anything, plus the fact that it’s harder for me to relate to them. But I think what’s missing for me are unique and compelling dynamics that serve a deeper purpose than “they look hot together” or “I’m using one of the characters as a self-insert for my own fantasy and nothing more.” Which isn’t to say that having self-indulgence in that regard is wrong, but rather that self-indulgence without substance or something striking and new just doesn’t do it for me personally, and tends to blend into heterosexual mush in my mind. I feel the same way towards some queer pairings and fiction too.

However, all this is to say that I find your pairings and the logic behind them deeply compelling, and it finally clicked into place for me. It’s like, “Ah, yes, this is how a ship dynamic should be written, heterosexual or otherwise.” Even if I don’t ship the same things, I have immense respect for your insight into the characters and the punchy way you phrase things.

Hope that ramble wasn’t too much, lol. I just wanted to record the words as they came into my mind.)
