but nobody really knows who he is. it's easy to pinpoint Red, Blue, and Vio's characteristics because they're so distinct in how they present. but it almost feels like Green is just, well... what you'd expect from the heroic type

I think it's a quiet sacrifice that Green makes. he purposely gives up his sense of unique identity and personhood. he exists for the kingdom as their hero and nothing else

I remember him using it in this panel XDD

And btw for the colored version I used your colors to experiment a bit! I didn't ask you ik but do say if it's not ok and i don't plan to do it again tho! They're always so nice to look at and balanced so i was trying to figure out how and why as I was making this sjsjjsjd like how do you keep them so balanced and it's always so nice and pretty to the eye! Your color choices are soooo good bjdjjdgsgsj <<33 (i was too lazy to do the background or lineart tho :"( )

hi Persey!! i'm so sorry this answer is like eons late orz

honestly I struggled for a while to figure out what exactly I want to do with Green & Red's dynamic mainly because for a while I hadn't quite figured out how I wanted to expand their characters

with Blue & Vio, surface level it's ragebaited & ragebaiter LOL, but on a deeper level I like to explore themes of hurt in growth & love. sometimes doing the right thing hurts. sometimes you hurt the ppl you love most. but these things don't make a person inherently "bad" or "evil". Blue & Vio to aren't afraid to face the cruelties, imperfections, and failures when it comes to themselves/each other

while Blue & Vio are more accepting these things, Green & Red are deeply averse/afraid of it

I think the best way I can explain it rn (without yapping for 500 years) is that I'm fond of the idea of Red encouraging Green to embrace the side he tries so hard to bury. his "childish" tendencies—whether it'd be indulging typical kid-like activities or giving him a healthy outlet to be a petty brat AHAHAH. in turn, Green gives Red the confidence to push himself and flourish. Red has so much potential, capability, and strength that often gets buried by his own insecurities. he's always seen himself as reliant on Green (and the others), but he doesn't realize just how much Green relies on him too

anyway, I have a looot of ideas for their development, and I'm rlly looking forward to doing more with them this year : 3

I think that would not be good for him emotionally but in a juicy and interesting way. Also what if he failed so spectacularly that nobody could see him as a "perfect hero" anymore. what would he do then?

OHH MY GOD WAIIIT this is so good I'm eating this

ok the people treating the Links like "celebrities" is my weakness i love love love it in case it wasn't obvious LOL. it's like in the midst of all the praise and attention, there's a bog of gossip and criticism

I do like to think the praise happens openly but there will always be whispering. if they do speak about it openly, it's phrased in almost a backhanded compliment sort of way
