ID: A sketch of two young men looking at each other lovingly during sunrise on a lake. The person on the left is Alex Sawyer, a young mixed black man with dirty blond hair, blue eyes, teardrop tattoos going down his neck, and wearing a blue turtleneck sweater. The person on the right is Zee Hatcher. Zee is a young indian man with dark reddish brown hair and blue eyes, and a large burn scar spanning across the left half of his face and neck. He’s wearing an orange sweater. The sun is rising over two hills and the two are sitting inside a tent.

Alzee, but make them university-aged and have them go on romantic camp dates together. 

It’s been forever since I drew alzee, or furnace art in general, wow.

So long as I’m riding that romantic art wave, I figured I’d do a very quick cooldown drawing for eff.

alzee and 3, 8, 12, 36

3. Who’s the one who listens to a music genre the other doesn’t like and how does the other react: Zee cannot stand Alex’s shitty techno–he doesn’t mind electronica, but for crying out loud Alex, skrillex? Really? Alex knows it’s bad but he acts offended every time.

8. How does one comfort the other when the other is in distress/having a panic attack/crying: Zee takes Alex somewhere where they can be alone (or in relative privacy when they’re in public) and he just lets Alex let it out. Assuming this is post-furnace, he has a lot of mental baggage to carry, and Zee respects that. Alex does similarly for Zee: he takes advantage of their size difference and just holds Zee and makes him feel safe (unless if Zee indicates that he doesn’t want to be touched), but normally Zee likes it because he knows that Alex wouldn’t let anything hurt him. 

12. What do their dates look like: Post-furnace, they actually want to do Normal Teenage Things to make up for lost time, so it’s cheesy stuff like going to the arcade, walking along the boardwalk and eating chips, going to see movies, documentaries and chill, they probably saw tfa together while Zee was in partial cosplay.

36. What would their valentines gifts be to each other: They both try to do cheesy valentine’s dates, bless their little hearts. They eventually have to agree to alternate years where they spoil the other, once they get that far into their relationship, because while it’s partially comprised of stupid valentine’s memes, someone reserved a restaurant table, and they’ve probably got chocolate at home and they’ll eventually break out the wine when they’re old enough to drink and they settle down and play romantic music and they’re both really really sappy okay

ship so good that—look. listen. I'm forced to bear the curse that the ship I have with the most powerful soulmate tropes and best banter and friends-to-lovers dynamic you've ever seen is relegated to the escape from furnace YA novels, and I ship donovalex and donalzee too but really. alzee is the thematic ship ever. they're best friends. they become foils, plotwise. alex sawyer is the chosen one to take the nectar of the stranger and become his successor. zee hatcher is immune to its effects. alex falls and nearly loses himself but zee drags him back from the brink, zee is nearly kidnapped and used as a weapon against the multiversal entity for the purposes of corrupt imperialism. they're not canon and I don't usually do the soulmates trope but they're soulmates.

[id: a digital drawing of zee hatcher and alex sawyer from the escape from furnace series in a parody of a wikihow article titled “How to: Feel a Guy’s Muscle Without Looking Gay”. Zee is a dark skinned Indian teenage boy with prominent burn scarring on his face and hands, he outstretches a hand to rest on alex’s biscep, an approving grin on his face. alex is a light skinned Black teenage boy with a shaved head and dark grey veins prominent in his skin, he is flexing his bisceps, looking at his raised arm quizzically.] 

Tips:

Try being his friend before you do this.

Act cool with it.

After words, say, “I think that will get a lot of chicks to like you.”

[ID: A digital drawing of Adam, Donovan, Alex and Zee from the Escape from Furnace, all sitting together at the booth of a restaurant, angled in front of a window, night time outside. Alex and Zee are sitting with their backs to the viewer, Alex smiling and talking as Zee gestures with his hands. Adam and Donovan sit opposite of them, with Donovan’s arm casually slung around Adam’s shoulder while Adam sits with his arms crossed. An almost empty basket of fries sits in the middle of the table.]

[ID: A three photoset drawing of Zee Hatcher and Alex Sawyer from Escape from Furnace, standing around a hole in the ground, leaning on their shovels with exasperated expressions. Zee is a brown skinned Indian teenage boy with spiky, dark hair, holding onto an open bottle of water. Alex is a light skinned Black teenage boy with coily brown hair pulled back into a bun, who is sitting on a pile of dirt with a frown on his face. The background is a vast sandy lot filled with holes and piles of dirt underneath a clear blue sky. The second and third pictures are close ups of Zee and Alex.]

i really need to watch holes again
