#ramscollar

This is the worst thing I've ever drawn for MFS. I don't even know what the point was, it was a WIP from 2022 and I thought since all the lineart was done, picking up coloring would be okay but I fuckin hated the coloring. So much effort for this crap. And they are also all out of character, the fuck is my problem??? It is not anything like that Friends scene. This is prolly why it was this in the drafts but fine 😤 I will share for girl kisses. Disgusting.

Animal related ship names are sick because animals are sick, not to mention rams are similar to goats, an animal often associated with witchcraft

Collars are literally used in the show as a controlling and taming mechanism, and both Raelle and Scylla are forced to wear them at different times in the show both seperately and at the same time.

Ramscollar as a name works as a metaphor for how toxic and complex their relationship starts out, with Scylla manipulating the situation and how Raelle acts, acting as a collar to control how Raelle acts, the Ram's collar

It also works well as a metaphor for how both of them in ways control and change how the other one acts over the course of their relationship (Particularly Scylla, the ram, being toned down by Raelle, a collar, hence Ram's collar again, but this time the collar is on the Ram instead of wielded by it)

Plus since they are in the army their last names are used quite frequently to refer to them by, even if they don't really refer to each other by last names much

Rams also just have a ton of meaning across different cultures having to do with power/strength, resilience, rebirth, fire even, with specifically their horns ("I have a lighter" moment???) all of which fit them both as characters in their own rights as well as their relationship as a whole

Tally, referring to Raelle and Scylla: They're gonna try and date.

Abigail: What?

Tally: THEY'RE GONNA TRY AND DATE.

I did it. Abigail Ships.
