#drownedglory

The concept of Czeslaw inviting Pyro to drink just to make him embarrass himself in front of their "friend" group, and they end up being half passed out by the end of the night. The group needs to head back, Czeslaw's friends tell him to just leave Pyro there, but he makes a whole big thing about the fact that Pyro's parents will be upset at him if he doesn't get him back to the house, and so he stays behind to help Pyro back… They get back to the estate, it's really late so both the servants and any of Pyro's family members are be asleep, and Czeslaw and Pyro's families are close enough so he just lets himself in. Pyro hasn't been asleep this whole time but he's NOT lucid in the slightest so he's just mumbling and cracking half-jokes that don't make sense, flopped exhaustedly against him as they stagger to his room. Czeslaw's like 'surely you can get to your bed from here' and tries to let go of him but Pyro almost falls over completely- So he goes in to put them in their bed and then leave, but Pyro drags him down with him...

Wonderful thoughts me and @grim-leafer had bouncing around that lead to little comic where they KISS cuz I'll do anything to draw more characters kissing.

In my mind palace Czeslaw is gay and has a dumb crush on Pyro but absolutely does not recognize it as such cuz he's not gay..... while Pyro is a bit on the "any attention is still attention" and also wasted and also gay and Czeslaw looks good so. It works out they KISS OK THEY END UP KISSING I WANT THEM TO KISS

Pyro offers up himself and gets used and abused for it, czeslaw offers “gifts” that usually only end in more violence..

I also imagine this would make Pyro more wary of many of Oakhurst’s residents? Seeing the way they interact with eachother(at least when Avid isn’t actively forcing a wedge in between townsfolk) and seeing how sometimes gifts don’t result in violence could probably simultaneously make him angrier because of his mistreatment but also realize he was right to be afraid and he did technically make the right choice..

And then also the kids naturally having a language of gift-giving/acts of service.. Pyro obviously wouldn’t let them get abused but can you imagine them trying to help Shelby around in the castle.. sometimes reorganizing part of Pyro’s room when he’s out.. picking flowers that grow from inbetween the ruined cornerstones of the castle and giving them to Owen.. do you see the vision..

IM GONNA BE SICKKK

when czeslaw gives pyro gifts, hes expected to accept them no matter what. czeslaw also uses those gifts against him, if hes not happy with pyros behavior (which he usually is not) hes definitely the kind of guy to get mad at them for being "ungrateful". and pyro with his acts of service become almost transactional, if czeslaw gives him a gift he has to perform an act of service to keep the scales balanced. because if they tip too far in either direction, it will come back to bite pyro.

(itll bite pyro anyway. but maybe a bit less this way)

and then he gets to oakhurst and sees how people interact with eachother there. it puts him on edge. even though he has no reason to suspect any of them are like czeslaw, hes instinctually bracing. waiting for the other shoe to drop. he politely turns down gifts (claiming he doesnt want to be a bother), and when he does accept them, he is immediately working to balance the scales again.

AND THE KIDSSS 😭😭😭 they end up copying czeslaws gift giving and pyros acts of service, and probably have internalized pyros instinct to balance the scales but they pick that up from observing pyro rather than they themselves learning it to be a nessecity... they dont have the same fears around those types of displays of affection that pyro does.

love the idea of them being alone in the castle and running around, leaving gifts or helping organize the chests or decorating sections of the halls outside of their favorite peoples' room, giggling together like theyre pulling a prank 😭

also imagine owen showing up to terrorize the town, but he has a bunch of wildflowers braided into his hair. hes brooding and eviling but he refuses to take them out

Im presenting you

Drownedglory but they secretly (even from themselves) have crush on each other

This totally was fueld by someone specific, thank you Rexmin and Grim leafer! You infected me with thoughts about them veeery effectivly so this small comic was born as a result <3

Also, it uses the idea that Pyro was in fact in one friends group w Czeslaw, where everyone actually just bully him as it was in canon. So, nothing much changed except the fact that *cough cough* Czeslaw can keep them close. And awfull friends is anyway better than no friends at all, right?
