the lord of the lies

june has been busier than I expected, but I still wanted to post something soooooo doodles from my sketchbook it is then !! and yes 80% of it just ships.........

+ a digital doodle because yeah

i hope that the twins never get better. or, no actually, rephrase; i hope that they never like each other.

i don’t want them to make up and be friendly with each other. i don’t want them to be tragic siblings either i just. don’t want them to be get along.

they can get better about it (maybe roman can stop getting dysphoria from his brother or smth idk) but i don’t want them to just be your stereotypical “my sibling is my best friend” thing bc. that’s not always how it goes. sometimes siblings just hate each other, not always bc of tragedy, but just bc. that’s how things go.

for the record, this isn’t me hating on silly/fluffy creativitwins content, i love it just as much as the next guy. but when i really think about it, i don’t want that. i want this.

Like... most of Virgil's existence was his function and person both being attacked and devalued. After Accepting Anxiety, his function and person were both respected and valued simultaneously. Virgil wasn't taught to view them differently. To him, if your function is valid, then your person is valid. If your function is invalid, then your entire self is invalid and reprehensible. There's no tangible difference between the two for him.
