#larrisher

idk if i could pick a favorite honestly. i love sal/travis, but i also love larry/travis, i love sal/larry, i love sal/ash. ive also seen and appreciated ash/maple a lot, too, but im pretty partial to maple/chug because that's a goth chick and her weird pet man and i love it. and lately i've been thinking a disproportionate amount about todd/neil and the kinds of arcs they could have.

honestly it really just depends on the kind of story i want to tell. codependent best friends to lovers is sal/larry, enemies to lovers is larry/travis, self acceptance and fix-it-fics and those types are sal/travis. sal/ash is a kind of doomed yuri to me (i often take a nonbinary/genderfluid transfem read on sal) because i don't think they'd ever make it, ash is too normal, and sal has too many unaddressed issues.

todd/neil is really good when you're looking for a story with a long-running relationship that has new problems crop up, or old problems that have never gotten solved. for example: i love the idea that todd's mom is a completely unmanaged and unmedicated bipolar, and that eventually in his late 20s or early 30s, it hits for him and he and neil have to work around it.

Sal and Larry saving each other in their own ways

me redrawing something? yeah u bet
