Happy 5/14!!!!

Aaaaahh not sure if this is my best work 😭 I just really wanted to draw smth for vettonso day but my brain hasn't really been functioning well LOL so I kept dreading working on this, especially bcs its so important to me, y'know? I hope it's good????? I'm happy with the concept, but I was just so unsure on so many of the angles and it was killing me. I did the color thing bcs I thought it'd add something interesting to it :) since I didn't paint it as I usually would

Anyways! Process!

Now I will explain all of them:

Boy king au is where it all starts of course. I think their relationship is the most developed in this compared to the others, but at the same point, they just start from such a different point, especially affection-wise. All of these kinda have a power dynamic, except the last one, and this is the most imbalanced. Fernando is being subservient, the only part of Seb he may kiss(in public lol) is his hand.

Matador au next. They hurt themselves when they try to be affectionate, because they live in the culture of a sport of violence and death. The sword separates them, their love for the sport keeps them apart, in fear that they hurt each other. Seb, yet again, looks down upon Fernando. Seb haunts Fernando's whole career, the constant overhanging presence. Also aside from that, shame that you can't see his three musketeers look bcs of the black background 😔

2012 core!!! I think this one is pretty easy to understand. Both of them often kiss their trophies, more so than any driver. So they're both trying to claim the wdc trophy by kissing it. Maybe you guys should just get rid of the trophy altogether and claim each other! But yes, just like the sword in the matador au one, the trophy and their ambitions divides, keeps them from ever bridging the vast gap between them, at least at that point in time.

The conclusion! Aka what I wish we will get at Imola 2024- kidding kidding. But it is 2024. Finally there is no conflict between them, there's no big thing keeping them in conflict, they can finally come together. Finally they can touch, there is no gap to bridge, they can appreciate each other, and appreciate what they failed to in years past.

The thesis is basically that they always have their aspirations between them, and their aspirations happen to be basically the same thing. Until those are resolved, the gap between them is too vast for them to recognize and/or find any commonality. How do you get along with someone when you're both fighting for the same thing? How do you get along when it feels like one of you is winning more? How do you get along when there's such a vast gap?

In boy king au, it's going to take a while before they both feel settled about the issue of the throne. That's what makes that au interesting, they're trapped in this state of non-closure and they have to actually solve their issues without the matter of one of them simply removing themselves from the equation. They have to find a way to get over themselves and their aspirations, because like it or not they're stuck with each other. I think with the hand kissing, it represents how Fernando, at that point, is only willing to play along with the game if it's tradition, and he often won't budge in other ways. Yes, I will show subservience, but only in this detached, formal way that I don't connect personally to. He's still holding his own bitterness over meaningfully appreciating Seb. Though it's not like Seb isn't at fault. It takes a while for him to not hold things over Fernando, and constantly humiliate him. One day they will meaningfully show affection, and it won't be some sort of power play.

I think matador au is pretty similar to real life, and the 2010s era(it's basically just their actual plot line but in the context of bullfighting.) They're forever going to have this big elephant in the room, and it only really gets resolved when one of them leaves the sport. Once they're not fighting directly against each other, they realize what they've been missing out on and what they were not appreciating for so many years beforehand. They finally come together because they can't just rely anymore on the sport keeping them together. They actually have to make that step to be in each other's lives, rather than just taking their presence for granted.

Also the text on the comic. "We keep missing, and missing, and missing, and finally kissing." It's basically: we keep missing the point of it all, we keep failing to appreciate each other presence in our lives and in our own individual grand stories. But when we're not forced together anymore, we have to make the choice to come together again ourselves. We keep missing what we actually need to do. Missing each other in favor of our aspirations. Etc etc. One day we will finally embrace and there will be nothing keeping us apart.

Another reason that Stansas hate the idea of Arya and Dany being friends (outside of them wanting to demonize Dany) is that they've convinced themselves that Dany and Sansa are the only main female characters, so if a Stark sister is going to have a significant relationship with Dany it has to be Sansa. Arya being constantly downplayed and treated like an accessory to Sansa has generally led to the consensus that her relationship with Dany will be defined by whatever Sansa's relationship (positive or negative) with her is. That's why Arya is always being left out of the "we were robbed of [x] female character friendship" conversations and why theories about Dany/Arya getting along are treated as Sansa hate; Arya, as a character, is seen as secondary to Sansa by a lot of people

been seeing more galethara fics lately and everytime i do this happy lil twirl. YIPPEEEEEEEEE RAREPAIR CONTENT

[chasefaux]

the way vi was just so full of anxiety seeing the only living loved one she has so rapidly change into the exact opposite of what she liked about her, for what she fell in love with her – this maybe naive rich girl from the piltover, but someone who was just so kind and brave and understanding, and who was just so prepared to fight for the rights of the undercity in front of the council after only two days she's spent there– she had to see this girl switch into this controlling, cold-blooded, thirsty for revenge cop who has the privilege of not having to stop. and vi couldn't even be mad at her because she understood what it's like. to lose a parent. because she's lost at least three. so she kept her mouth shut and listened to her orders and let cait send to jail and endanger everyone. because she knew people can get angry and violent and act different when dealing with the emptiness death of a loved one brings you. vi punched her little sister, no? something she swore to never do and something she will forever regret, because that's what made jinx. the jinx that killed cait's mom and the jinx their mission is to eliminate and vi just feels so completely guilty.

and then in the tunnel, after they take a break because she can't handle the "new" cait anymore, the only pillar she now has, cait assures her that it's still her and promises vi that she won't change and kisses her which is something they probably hadnt done before and it confirms to vi that yes she is loved back by cait in the same way and as much as she loves her and that they are a pair, those two vs the injustice of the world they live in, just like during those two days, and vi's shoulders literally fall from being freed of so much worry and uncertainties and she lets her gloves hit the ground the ones she called the solution to all the problems up until now just so she could embrace her. and then it all goes horribly wrong, cait doesn't give two shits if vi's okay after the whole fucking room fell on them and vi can't understand how on earth could a revenge mean more to cait than a little kids life, it feeling like such a betrayal, a wake up call to vi, someone who would do the first and last for a kid in need, and when she confronts her all she gets is. "you're just like them". 'them' like the terrorists from zaun she called animals. that are on drugs and kill a mass of mourning people on the street. and then she adds that "she kept telling herself that you're different" so she had doubts about her for much longer and that no, those two weren't a pair and she doesn't see regular zauns like People but all as dangerous and disgusting and until then just thought of vi as if she was a separate category, not to be mixed in with those. that she's tired of pretending that vi's different and when vi calls her out on her obsessive behaviour she just. fucking hits her in her stomach. and vi ends up alone again trapped in that fucking room with no one to be by her side and no real reason to fight on any side of the war that will be, not for zaun because she no longer has a sister there she needs to protect and definitely no piltover, where no one fucking wants her, so she just 'waits it out' or fucking. quits. I'm sick. my chest hurts so bad

I can't even I knew it's gonna destroy me but I binge watched it anyway and now I'm trying to collect my thoughts because it's wayy past midnight and I need to go to sleep but I cantttt
