The Zesty Besties, Platonic Boyfriends

The zesty besties, platonic boyfriends

HE JUST WANTS A FRIEND SO BAAAAAD, GUYS, LET HIM HAVE THIS ONE

(Art’s bad, Ik, but I wanna talk about this)

Smilk’s relationship dynamics are SO INTERESTING!! Dude, Beast Yeast ep8 had me ROLLING!!

Like, he’s obviously a controlling a**hole who’s ever-expanding gaping pain in his hollow heart pushes him to be so abusive, to like, almost everyone. He revels in suffering. The only way he chills out is if you follow him wholeheartedly, AND EVEN THEN he’s still gonna make you suffer. I smell a narcissistic god complex with a side of crippling self-doubt and loneliness 👀

He wants friends, he wants connections, but he NEEDS that control because he can NEVER let himself be vulnerable. Goodness gracious, girl, you need a Snickers. And BOY does he want a connection with that freaking vanilla gremlin. The only one he thinks can TRULY understand him. THE WAY THIS MF PROJECTS HIMSELF INTO THIS COOKIE. He wants him. Like, he needs him. And that’s freaking scary. AND WHEN FINALLY GIVEN THE CHANCE, HE RUNS AWAY! BECAUSE AFTER HE THOUGHT HE HAD WON IT ALL, HE GOT BRUTALLY BETRAYED, HIS WORST AND MOST TRAUMATIC WOUNDS BEING REOPENED, FORCED TO BE CONFRONTED BY THE ONE HE WANTS & HATES SO DEARLY, CALLING OUT HIS TRUE EMOTIONS! Calling out the truth of the Cookie of Deceit. What a poetic ending to such a chapter. (I have theories of possible parallels between his relationship w/ PVC & his relationship w/ Silent Salt, but those are more just theory-crafted fan fictions. Might post about it one day, idk)

Might redraw this digitally one day, there’s a lot of issues with it that I wanna fix. Since I’m in class when I do these I have to draw EVERYTHING from memory, & my materials SUUUUUUCK. Bleh :P
