#it’s like a very boiler-plate standard-fare odd couple duo

could you tell us more about cap and lou's relationship? I think they're adorable and would like to learn more about them!

AHH thank you!!✨✨ Glad you’re interested, I could rant about them all day haha

So! Lou is a gray alien with anger issues, and plays bodyguard to his friend and former superior, John Tobin (who goes by Cap.)

Cap acts as their manager and liaison, and Lou, who does the heavy lifting, is a whip-smart strategist when calm and collected, and a proficient, belligerent fighter when he’s in more of a violent fugue state. He’s an old soul with a mob-boss mentality, that bounces off Cap’s salesman-like ways, for quick (albeit unconventional) work.

Lou sometimes holds it over Cap’s head that he treats him like his guard dog, parading him around on a pedestal or keeping him at arms length when needed, but they both genuinely care for each other. Cap knows Lou’s limits, and how to ground him, and Lou knows not to take Caps’ tactlessness personally.

Cap knows and loves to handle Lou’s extremes, (sometimes selfishly) and Lou uses Cap as a sounding board and enabler to their more outrageous wants (also selfishly.)

But this is just a little snippet of their dynamic, I’ve been drawing them for a LONG while, and I’m more than happy to draw and babble about them some more! Thanks again for asking! ✨
