so funny is this the same anon I've seen asking abt glisten/dyle on other tumblrs. are you doing the rounds like the town crier
this is WAY older than two weeks that's an old screenshot but yes actually ! right before the Easter event this year when my friend first got me to try Dandy's World with him, we stood in front of Dyle while he yapped about some of his visions to see if he could get me interested in the game, and one of the initial ideas that was floated was actually along the lines of Dyle/Glisten/Rodger polycule because Dyle and Rodger both have expressed a similar concern to Glisten about their observations of his clumsiness and confusion (and I personally like to think Glisten's note in his room is about Dyle catching on, since I don't think he'd refer to Rodger using vague terminology if they're on such good terms and Glisten trusts him — unless it's meant to be a very old note from before they were friends or before ever having met Dyle at all).
The idea of him being fussed over by two proper, measured and calm, fancy men who can see right through the façade of perfection he tries to put up was pretty cutieful, Glisten/Dyle has similar potential to Rodger/Glisten in that respect to me ! I also think they could relate to the fact neither of them want to be alone despite being in traditionally very isolated professions; Dyle's needs no introduction, but Glisten being on a pedestal due to his celebrity-type role probably means that it's very lonely up there and difficult to come down despite being surrounded by people all the time, which I think is a feeling they would both understand, especially through the lens that they both often turn down (or just skip) the prospect of spending time with others for their own reasons but still seem to appreciate being invited since it indicates they've been thought of. I got some Thoughts about Glisten for that one
Granted, I then got hooked on Dyle/Rodger like crazy and later decided to stratify the toons a little more by age, making Dyle and Rodger older and Glisten pretty young, so I became more taken by the idea of Glisten sort of being fussed over by the two of them like supportive older mentor-type figures instead, trying to give him a healthy idea of his own limits and guide him. I got no problem w/ age gap relationships (between consenting adults, obviously) either I just get seized by platonic and familial relationships like I'm being taken over by the fuckin symbiote the second there's even the vaguest of age divides bc I think they're extremely sweet and I can't resist them I loveeeee when older folks have positive relationships with and guide the young even when they're not actually bound by blood, it's very meaningful 2 me
I am quite fond of #them however
