Evil straight men in fiction are boring. I mean, there's nothing new about them. They're everywhere in real life too so like.. where's the fun in that? Evil gay men on the other hand? ohohoho chef's KISS. Let me see you with that homoerotic tension with your enemy. Watch me cheer as you try to kill him, but then turn around and murder anyone who lays a hand on him. Yeah you attic husband the shit out of him you crazy bastard you! Basically, watching men being toxic towards each other is far more fun than watching men being toxic towards women because the former is the perfect package of horny + true love + evil cat while the latter is just... reality. If I wanted reality, WHY would I even be here lol
When I don't sketch pretty girls I sketch angry gays.
Seriously I never got over how badly we were robbed of a Toddblack kiss. Good thing Sing and Gun made up for it the best they could by having the infamous gun scene be more sexually loaded than an actual sex scene, god bless
It's amazing how Todd putting Black in a coma or Vegas electrocuting Pete's balls enraged me less than Ray calling Sand a whore or taunting him about his financial situation. Like by the end of Not Me and KinnPorsche, I was a strict toddblack and vegaspete shipper, but by the end of Only Friends, I wanted Sand 2 countries away from Ray. Because see, Black and Pete are more insane than the men who hurt them and there's an equality in their relationships. Black put Todd in a coma timeout and Pete is.. well Pete, like no Theerapanyakul could handle this guy if he truly went batshit. And so there's an equality in the delicious toxicity of toddblack and vegaspete which is nowhere to be found between RaySand where Ray holds the upper hand and Sand does the emotional labour and gets punished for it by Ray. And in my eyes, that makes them worse than the coma couple or the mafia torture bitches probably because they, Sand and Ray, hit so close to home. Because while men like Todd and Vegas might not exist in real life with their insanity yet true love and fucked up devotion and friendship, men like Ray do who use and abuse and return with tears and apologies only for the cycle to repeat again.
