indchu really was rusame before rusame was rusame
Thank you for enabling me also my nyo America is called Jackie so I’m calling her that here sorry
Ok so they're undergraduates in college, got randomly assigned roommates, and both earning a degree in aerospace engineering. They did not like each other at all at first, very competitive and both top of their class, but because of the horrific gender ratio they'd stick together anyway (it was also hard not to because they were roommates) and have each other's backs which established a trust despite hating each other on the surface.
And I imagine they didn’t really have coming of age experiences because both spent all their time studying to get into their university in the first place; they haven’t really explored things like sexuality and romance and whatnot. They also are both fucked up in the head, especially Anya, and suck at genuine human connection yeah
Because they have this stupid rivalry they become really enamored with the thought of having an equal and a perfect match and really being understood as a person do eventually they kind of become obsessed with each other. And they don’t want to admit to even being proper friends because neither of them “do friends” (for Jackie it’s a “keeping everyone as an acquaintance so no one can see me as anything less than perfect” thing and for Anya it’s “human connection is a waste of time and I fuck up every single relationship” thing) but if either of them even seemed properly friendly with someone else the other would get so jealous they’d feel actually sick.
Jackie’s really taken with the thought of Anya being the only one that sees the “real her” and Anya is obsessed with the idea that Jackie will stay with her and see her as the most important priority. and they see each other more than anyone else and study together and witness the other when they're not put together in a way that feels more vulnerable and intimate than anything they've ever experienced. and both of them are way too possessive and want it to be them against the world but they also sometimes want to destroy the other for knowing them like that
So yeah they’re just in this fucked up codependent borderline situationship and they keep having the homoerotic encounters that most people deal with in middle school but they’ve never felt like this before and it’s intoxicating
Anyway this drawing was supposed to reflect having life changing emotionally destructive lesbian sex

crawls in on my hands and knees indchu is so everything to me. it’s so tragic romance, it has so many themes that touch on colonialism, agency, fate, power etc etc. They’re friends to enemies to friends to enemies and back again and one of the things that drives me really insane was how England used India to grow opium to poison China and deployed Indian soldiers to fight for the British against the Chinese in the Opium wars, but simultaneously, that long history of anti colonialism and pan asian collaboration between Indian and Chinese scholars during the 20th century before independence finally, finally came and the promise of a new world order and the Non aligned movement they could enjoy *together*, before 1962 happened and that hope of what they had before, before the europeans and the modern era, crumbled to dust. i’m so normal about then
homie, you managed to fill my heart with joy, sadness, dread, joy again, and agony and I thank you for it. their history is so unmatched by anything I've ever heard of.
oh to picture their closeness before colonialism, when it was just them two.
OH, to think of how they have lived so near one another longer than any other personification could, and to have it all change in such a short amount of time, that beautiful romance now just a husk of what it once was... and everyone walks by them not having a clue... it's only a pain and sadness only they understand, only they experience... I think I need a break
