I post art sometimes

he kisses Ortega in rebirth, changes his mind later and friendzones her hard in retribution but continues dating her as the puppet, until he goes w her on that stakeout and he breaks up with her as the puppet too

he starts feeling smitten with Chen, invites him for a drink, has a brief panic attack bc he likes Chen but he's not even sure he's a man anymore, then when Chen finally decides to do something Julian RUNS AWAY-

Argent is the lucky one bc Jules gets confident enough in armor to flirt w her properly, and even them!!! he doesn't show his face!!!!! he just lets her run away w the goddamn regenerator!!!!!!

they want to heal so bad. they do so well in therapy, they're at like 30/40% scar levels near the ending!

and then Ortega tells them abt the HG sibling and

and then they DIE and they have the fate motivation so ofc they feel like they're being DRAGGED DOWN and

Ortega straight up re-traumatized them in one fell swoop. all that therapy for NOTHING, JULIA, I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY WITH YOURSELF-

also kinda unrelated but being able to see Cynder's villainy level just. really explains a lot

doodle dump of the few sketches i've done lately that i am actually p happy with. cheating a bit bc a few are kinda old, sorry for the varying bad qualities of the pics
