#LOVED THIS SOOOOOOO MUCH ANONNNN

[inkykeiji]

in the time span between the end of touya-nii pt 2 and pt 3, is reader still as mad at touya as she was on the night/morning of the party? before she meets up with tomura do her and touya act like everything is normal?

anon!!!!!!! what a fabulous question!!!

tw: stepcest, toxic relationship

waaah i love this tbh i could write a whole oneshot about the time between the party and her meeting with tomura (it isn’t in the fic because it technically serves no purpose to the story, doesn’t move the plot forward in any way, it would just be fun to explore as supplemental material hehehe) but to answer your question, after she solidifies her plan with tomura (literally the end of part two) she feels a lot calmer. knowing that she’s finally going to do something about this helps her recover her composure, and she’s able to act mostly normal around touya. he can tell something is off, but he assumes it’s from their fight, that she’s still a little bitter about the whole situation and his infidelity, but as long as she’s staying—she’s here, she’s his, under his command and control—he’s able to brush it off and tell himself that she’ll get over it.

the texts annoy him, irritation itching under his skin, but he lets those slide, too, figuring they’re probably nothing, it’s probably just the coke injecting paranoia into his brain, because he couldn’t possibly even conceive the notion of his sweet, precious, good little sister doing something so disrespectful. he’s still feeling pretty confident; i mean, she got over it so quickly, so that must mean he’s still got her in his clutches, and that means he’s got nothing to worry about. we know touya believes the world revolves around him, so that’s how he’s feeling there: nothing bad could ever happen to him, she could never do something so reprehensible to him, etc.

it’s important to note that at this stage in their relationship, touya isn’t as possessive as he is later on (which, of course, is partly due to her cheating). he’s still trying to sort through these emotions, still trying to deny these emotions, still trying to trick himself into believing that they’re nothing special, nothing significant, (and, as we also know, the cheating is the trigger that finally has him coming to terms with it all and beginning to accept it) and this—while small—also plays a role in him kind of missing these tiny little signs that something was up, because he’s so busy trying to stamp out his emotions. that night in particular brings up a lot of unfamiliar feelings in him, too, and he is very busy trying to forget those and forget why her words stung so bad, why her words have seared themselves into the tissues of his brain and keep wiggling and whispering, why his mind seems to think they’re so goddamn important that it has to remember them, etc.

but yeah! that’s what was happening during that time, basically! i’ve said this before, but readers tattered shreds of autonomy only sew themselves back together when it comes to the prospect of her losing touya. this is when she finds her backbone, when she’s willing to go against him and be bad to keep him with her. no one is going to fucking take him from her. so when she formulates a plan to hurt him, to get him back, she almost instantly feels a little better. she can play the role of the good little sister for another week while she waits for her chance to strike <3

It is amazing how gorgeous your art has gotten! That piece is stunning and has such an intimate and tender feeling to it. Imo the drawing from 2017 still looks great but your improvement is incredible; love the lore detail that forehead-touches are typically reserved for family, lovers, or close friends. Chuckling at how Vygo and Indrys are all three at once!

Ahhhh thank you sooooooo much!! T_T Your message is so kind! It made my day! <3

I have to say, ongoing my journey into self discovery had a big impact in my art any relationship with my art, I'm very satisfied with the way it's taking now. ^^

Also yes, I also chuckled when I typed that about who usually does the forehead touch! xD

You're amazing Anonnnn thank you so much!! <3
