lunarincs.. !!

they never actually saw sebastian and painter as siblings until people started making their friendship gay. there was literally zero hint that they saw each other as siblings in the main game until they realized people were taking it differently

it was a reactionary writing decision because theyre protective over their story and want to control how its perceived

it infantilizes painter by putting him into the role of a younger person who needs to be protected, and it undermines all of the issues he has + the decisions he makes on his own. he is literally called "kid" more often than hes called by his own name, and its to force the idea that hes a little kid. it is ATROCIOUS mental illness rep, if nothing else.

sebpainter/watercolor is not a proship oh my god.

if anybody reading this post genuinely believes that the writers made a genuine, realistic, healthy writing decision by forcing such a dynamic so suddenly into their relationship, you gotta sybau.

i have no problem with people shipping them, viewing them as friends, or even viewing them as siblings! its your playground, youre allowed to climb up the slide! whatever!

(unless you see them as siblings AND ship them—that is disgusting. proshippers dni. this space is not safe for you.)

but i have a strong tendency to block the people who insist that the "sibling" dynamic is canon. because its really not. it was a spontaneous decision the writers made because they didnt like the ship.

i personally cannot see them as siblings. it just Does Not Make Sense. and considering the behavior of the devs its hard to trust ANYTHING they say about any part of their game.

BUT i think they make very good platonic friends. i wouldnt call myself a shipper. (with sebastians issues, he currently wouldnt do good in a relationship.)

anyway yeah, i am strongly anti-proship, and those disgusting people are NOT welcome here.
