You dig okay, baby
i like mar-bit :)
Idk they’ve got great chemistry, they’re both fun characters, hell there’s even plenty of angst potential lol. They’re the only ship I liked back when I first read the book, almost two years ago now? I dunno why it’s taken me so long to draw/write anything for them, I like them a lot
and fyi she totally gave him her real number
(I tried to imitate and/or refine the style I used in my og stevepop post? Idk I liked that style, it’s not my usual- but it’s really fun to do honestly)

I'm rewatching the Amy Schumer/Bill Hader romcom Trainwreck and I know Amy Schumer is not popular on here but this movie holds up. And not just because "That's like the worst Billy Joel song. Billy Joel probably hates that song." "Well, he shouldn't. It's great." is the most realistic depiction of the average conversation about Billy Joel ever put to film.

About Uptown Girl:
“Uptown Girl” is a Billy Joel classic that can be found on 1983’s An Innocent Man. Inspired by Frankie Valli’s “Rag Doll,” its lyrics find a “downtown boy” (lower class) waxing poetic – in his own way – for a girl from a classier upbringing.
The song was written about Joel’s girlfriend at the time, model Elle Macpherson. However, his soon-to-be wife Christie Brinkley is the one who appeared in the song’s music video.
It was internationally successful, reaching the top 20 in eight countries including a #3 peak in the US, and #1 in both New Zealand and the United Kingdom. In the UK, it stayed at the top for five weeks, was the second biggest selling single of the year, and sold over a million copies. Later, it was ranked the 19th biggest selling single of the 1980s in the UK and in 1988, Rolling Stone ranked “Uptown Girl” #99 on their list of the 100 most important singles of the period 1963-1988.
