If making absurdly niche crossovers was a race I’d be winning olympic gold I fear

Summerstobotnikweek: Day 3

Symbolism

His love is an overflowing cup - and it spills, and spills, until you're soaked in it.

It took a few days - and several attempts - to make this.

I did my best to try and convey the idea of Stone's tender and gentle love, depicted as a sort of cornucopia that unceasingly pours into Ivo's cup, eventually turning into a warm, rose-colored waterfall. Ivo doesn't quite know how to behave, faced with such bright affection, and he doesn't realize he's already been "stained" and affected by it.

Reflecting on how Stone's love is expressed through acts of service, I decided to draw him handing to Ivo his heart on a tray - after all, isn't it what he already does every day? Also, I love the idea of Stone always pouring - even when Ivo says he doesn't want it or need it, - so that, whenever Ivo may be ready to accept it, he would never have to face an empty cup. Stone's love is stubborn and loyal and gentle, always available, always welcoming for Ivo - even if that means pouring, pouring and pouring to keep that tender little waterfall flowing.

Inspiration from "the Parisian waiter" by Pauline Roche (below). Enjoy the usual timelapse! (it makes it look waaay quicker than it was)
