God I'm So Tired Of Everybody's Bad Faith Interpretations Of Everything. Where's The Trust. Where's The

i'll love you forever (hell, i've loved you all along)

The scaraether dynamic i want is one where they don’t make each other worse, but they most definitely don’t make each other better. But if they do, its going in directions that definitely doesn’t benefit others around themselves.

Like Aether being an eldritch horror thats potentially a world eater getting courted by Wanderer, who is a living puppet.

Aether reluctantly charmed by Wanderer’s obsession, trying to go “This isn’t healthy for either of us, and is not a good standard for relationships” and it’s true.

But he’s unable to stop himself from being drawn to Wanderer’s promises, the concept of someone that’s just for himself.

Someone who would make him a priority with their own volition. Someone who doesn’t have other attachments that would stop them from helping him when he needs it. Someone who won’t abandon him. Someone who will willingly make themselves a permanent fixture by his side. (Paimon is also that, but she’s more like his child, someone he needs to nurture and also hide terrible things from).

Basically Wanderer being “I can be the hero to your damsel in distress.”

And Aether realizing he really doesn’t mind being a damsel in distress if its Wanderer who saves him.

Thanks to the Irminsul they can have a mental link, and when Aether gets trapped by the Fatui, truly put in a helpless situation, Paimon trapped in a seperate cage, he finds himself reaching out to the Wanderer almost blindly, numbly.

And the Wanderer abandons everything almost immediately to rescue him. He doesn’t keep him waiting.

An Albedo sketch I have yet to finalize! With notes on things I needed to refine as the sketch went on. This was very fun!!

(I'm doing the anon because it's a lil embarrassing)

So my friend is a huge fob fan and it was her birthday recently and as one does I stalked her blog for present ideas. Well she reblogged your kintsugi kid comic and the line "and it feels like I'm fighting for something I've long forgotten how to believe in" stuck out to me. So I sketched up a broken teacup, plopped the lyrics on it and turned it into a sticker. I had /assumed/ that the lyrics were in the song (I listen to fob but haven't gotten around to listening to the entirety of the new album yet) but since she's already received a sticker pack I decided to post the final drawing online but I thought I should actually listen to the song before I post it, and the lyrics aren't there?! Like if you came up with that yourself good on ya. It sounds like something Patrick would sing.

But yeah I spent the last 45 minutes stress searching online for those exact lyrics and came up with nothing

(also I haven't posted the picture yet, I don't want to take credit for lyrics/poetry that you wrote)

hello anon!

i think it's very thoughtful of you to customize an fob sticker for your friend as a gift!! it's also very cool! i would have loved to receive something like that !!

also yeah omg the comic i made is basically me just filling in the blanks of kintsugi kid with my own brainrot and feelings lmao i'm very much in love with fob's lyricism so i guess that kinda seeps into my writing a lot. although i do have a lot of other writing influences,, fall out boy along with a bunch of other emo lyricists is probably among my biggest artistic influences,, so i suppose what you said would make sense-- that the thing i wrote kinda sounded like a convincing fob lyric lmao thats very nice to hear actually lol it validates me so much as an emo kid sksksk

feel free to post the sticker pic btw! i would love to see what you made !! you can just mention my username in the hashtags or in the caption either way is fine :)

i can't vibe with anyone who thinks icarus was an ignorant idiot for flying too close to the sun. "oh i'd never do that i would have remembered my father's warning and been fine". do you seriously think that after years of imprisonment, feeling the sun on your face and the open air beneath your wings, you would be able to focus on anything but the joy of being alive and free? do you actually think that if you were given the opportunity to go where nobody has never been before, you wouldn't want to push it to the limit? to dare to be the first to try what no one else has ever even thought possible? do you honestly think you're too good for your own human nature? look me in the eyes and tell me if i strapped a pair of wings to your back that could take you wherever you wanted to go whenever you pleased that you'd be careful and sensible about it. you are not better than icarus just because you have the benefit of his example.
