Aaaaa friend I know that feel ;u; i hope these crumbs are ok, I feel the need to apologize because this isn't fluff like my last couple of posts;;; We didn't get to see much of Okarun losing control of the curse in the show and so I am like *fascinated* by the concept of the curse being, y'know, actually a curse and having some...negative side effects beyond general depression/apathy when he's transformed ✨️

This is also a little bit of a love letter to a certain chapter in Volume 7 of the Ancient Magus' Bride manga 💕

Sooo here's a little page I made up to explore that! Set at the end of Ep. 11. He's feelin some kinda way about Jiji suddenly showing up and, unfortunately, the curse's personality isn't as kind and good as our dear Ken...

Bonus doodle: fear not, Momo is fine~

I know I mentioned this in my other post but it's been plaguing my mind and it warrants its own post.

Peter is an FBI Agent. Not only that, he's the FBI Agent who took Neal down. He tracked him for years, arrested him, got him convicted of bond forgery, and got him locked up in a supermax prison for four years.

By all accounts, Neal shouldn't trust this man. He has no reason to.

And yet

From their very first on screen interaction together, it's absolutely clear that Neal does trust Peter, completely. His body language and posture don't change at all when Peter finds him sitting in Kate's empty apartment. He doesn't tense. He doesn't try to run. He remains sitting on the floor and calmly keeps talking to Peter like he's an old friend.

Before Neal even asks for his deal. Before they start working together. Their whole history up to this point is their cat and mouse game and Peter trying to catch Neal, and yet Neal already trusts him. Enough to stay completely relaxed when Peter comes to arrest him. Enough to ask him to hold on to the bottle, his last connection to Kate. Enough to ask Peter to keep him under his custody so he can get out of prison.

That's a lot of trust for a man who put him in prison in the first place.

I don't know if I have a point here, I'm just rambling, but don't even get me started on Peter's trust in this scene.

He walks in to arrest Neal, alone, and is completely casual about it. He never once draws his weapon, he just knows that Neal is nonviolent and doesn't like guns. He trusts that hasn't changed in the nearly four years he's been in prison. Peter asks if he's carrying, but he didn't need to ask because "You know I don't like guns." When else is an FBI Agent going to go in, alone, to apprehend a fugitive completely unarmed? Okay not technically unarmed he had his gun on him but drawing it was never even a thought in his mind.

I can't with these two and how much they trust each other despite their history.
