Ok let me break this down PICTURE by PICTURE
Starting off…
We start off with them moving in to their new home while having a light chat while setting in some boxes, ready to spend their life here. The shelves are empty but we know for a fact they’ll be full of things. The colors are warm and simple, judging by the window I’d like to assume it’s evening?
Now the second photo
We see Laios party and Chils daughters! (hiiii kabru) I’d like to think of this one as a “We officially unpacked every box!” kind of party. Friends and family are happy that chil and senshi found a place they can settle, this is definitely the liveliest of the bunch, the light beige background gives a sense of happiness for our duo. Though at night, it’s still a wonderful time to celebrate.
FINAL Third photo! (I’m delusional)
One thing I noticed was the weight they both gained!! AHHHHHHH THE DUNGEON DAYS ARE OVER❤️❤️❤️
Back on topic, we see Senshi give a loving morning kiss to his husband, as Chil replies with a loving look as he writes. (CHILSHI MARRIAGE + TAXES) He prepared breakfast for the both of them. (The same breakfast he made when they were in the golden country!) However, we notice that chils hair is starting to lose its auburn color a bit, showing that he is indeed aging, while Senshi didn’t have a singular atom altered. The background is surprisingly a thistle green! I’m a huge fan of color of the sky behind the window!
Fourth image…
First thing that caught my eye was the grey background, I already don’t trust the mood. *sigh* Anyways, we see Chils kids alongside Izutsumi as well. (adopted daughter argue with a wall) Senshi now sports small forehead wrinkles!! As for Chilchuck…he’s an old half-foot. Now he has fully silver hair alongside a wrinkled face, but at least he has his iconic green neck warmer! Current the lovebirds hold each other close with company of friends and family. I like to think that they’re discussing for what might happen for when Chilchuck passes? Maybe a will for the three daughters? Though it could just be a casual meetup? Judging by Flertoms crying (notice how she’s married lol) I think it’s more of a serious talk kind of thing, but not too serious as I sense some lightheartedness here. I almost forgot the sky! It seems to be early afternoon? But they’re still together, they’re still here. They still have time, and they’re cherishing it.
Fifth and final image.
The first thing that caught my eye was the sky, in every other photo it had some sort of gradient to it, always shared with another color. However this time, it’s a mist color. Devoid of warmth, just pure mist, it feels almost empty. Alongside the color of the room itself, it’s now a pastel grey. (likely a sad cloudy day) Going to the main focus, we see Senshi, with a mug in hand which I can only assume is coffee. He finally obtains grey hairs that his husband would never see, he also wears Chilchuks neck warmer, he also his ring is so visible here I like how when I look at Senshi here I instantly notice the ring. Personally I like to think of this as a gift alongside the house, since Senshi is an outcast dwarf he wouldn’t have been able to buy a house. Likely leaving it in his name after passing, knowing that he’ll live in it longer than he could. He gives a solemn look to the empty chair where the half-foot should’ve resided, but he’s not there, he’s long gone. One spent their loving someone while the other spends it missing someone. At this point of time I like to think that he’s come to terms with it, there are times where he spends minutes looking at certain places where his lover resided in the house. One thing notice how the table never lost it’s color, it definitely went though some shades while Senshi and Chilchuck also kept theirs. I like to think since they would likely always eat there, it kinda left a mark. A sense of familiarity to Senshi, a reminder of the one he loved most. But hey, that’s just my thoughts. Maybe the things that have color have love within them or set as a reminder for the good times, and if you’re daring…the things that have color rounds back to Chilchuck in a way, a flashing memory that has his beloved inside them. (That last image will be living in my mind rent free and my therapist WILL be hearing about you)
Last thoughts.
In conclusion I really love this little story, as if I could get time to recover from the comic saber made, this comes barging in and made me cry actually tears for these characters. The style reminds me of pixar concept art for their movies…have I mentioned how short and bittersweet this is? It’s short and bittersweet. Have I said that? I’m going insane.
And ONE last thing, I noticed how in almost every photo Chilchuck is on the left, and in the last one Senshi stares at the chair. So I got curious and…
Tumblr media
This.
It’s like he’s reminiscing of the day they first moved in. Wishing he could relive it again, but now it’s a memory, a cherished one, or maybe it could be his spirit. Not truly there but he could probably sense something, it’s likely all in his head but it was the thought that counts. He isn’t there, not anymore, but his love will be there until the end. The love they shared in this will never dwindle, not even time itself could make it erode. If he were there he’d tell him to cheer up, he’s a strong dwarf that helped conquer a dungeon. When his time is over they’ll meet again and share their favorite wine once again, or maybe…it could the time where he saw Chilchucks best smile. Making a core memory of how happy he was to share a life with Senshi. Now, it’s likely this wasn’t intentional and I’m just looking WAYYYYYY too deep into this, but one can think. And for the title, I think it’s Chilchuck saying this for sure. He grew old with Senshi, but Senshi didn’t grow old with him, but he tried his best, and I think Chilchuck is okay with that. Even when it’s Senshi’s time to leave this world, their house will still be full of love.
Again, this was a very heartwarming and gut wrenching lsfneoddj my eyes are tearing up and I can’t see the keyboadr uhhh great art, this moved my soul and the usage of of colors and backgrounds is dangerously beautiful and have meaning. Have a great day, night, afternoon, evening. Thanks again for making this AND YOU’RE EVIL FOR THAT REBLOG IDC
