swisil seems so interesting, you're a genius. my idea of it perhaps is that swing and lillia have some sort of past, so he would torment or kidnap silver to get back at him (but of course silver is such a cute, he decides he wants to keep him)
Lumping these two asks together <3
I took note of Silver's line about Swing, absolutely. I'm still not sure what Swing's backstory will be, if we get any sort of genuine traumatic backstory type of thing. I'm fine with saying that he's just an evil big bad for the party to take down, though, and that Silver is just a naive and sweet boy, endlessly trying to sympathize with the people who treat him the worst
I would like to think that even when Swing has Silver in his clutches, torturing him out of his mind and teasing and playing with him to his heart's content, Silver will still try to empathize with him and feel bad for him. And Swing would keep encouraging him with it, too. Yes, yes, Swing is so sad, and so hurt, and he just wants to keep Silver safe by punishing him for his wrongdoings, so turn over and let him get to spanking, okay~♪
And I love the idea of Swing using Silver for revenge, anon. Maybe the reason why Swing has to stick to the shadows and hide from the world in this AU is because he lost a fight with Lilia when he was younger and stronger. Lilia's power is waning now, but maybe, Swing's is too... Launching an all-out attack against the world is a bit much, but at the very least, he can strike his enemy where he's weakest. Take his innocent son's innocence again and again and again, while he's none the wiser the whole time!!
And of course, poor Silver, he's too loveable for his own good. Swing never intended to be so harsh on him, but it's too much fun playing with him. By the end of it, it really doesn't have anything to do with his father <33 he just wants to see Silver cry one more time, and then another after that, and they can see where things go from there...
