After seeing hsv1887 dot de's posts and a HSV x BVB fan friendship video, this ship stung me right in the heart. I think they're good friends nowadays, platonically (but you all can imagine other things too 💛💙)
🦖 Transcript and notes below the cut 🐝
Hamburg has an arrow pointing at him saying "relegation-induced hair loss (2018)"
Dortmund says, "Don't bee so mean to yourself... you're still hot, y'know..."

Okay, you probably have read Mortivacation's Chapter 3 and think, "HSV yelled at BVB a lot there". True, but they reconciled since then 🥺
I really enjoy drawing them together in general??? Their features are so different from each other, it's super fun! x) (but they both wear glasses B3 which, tbh, I want to make them cooler when I draw something more than doodles/sketches. I wear glasses myself and wish I could put charms on them and stuff //0)
(Thought again that HSV, Schalke, and Frankfurt all have strong, angular features, I'm scared I'm making them look too similar oh my gosh)
I feel nostalgic about the old design, and thought, if I'd known about this friendship back then, what would I have drawn? :D
Also, Dortmund's changing features is just him in different stages of HRT. He didn't get squarer yet. Plus, his glasses probably have a tight grip, cause they would've slid down his flat nose otherwise orz
(You know, I've told you I based HSV's pre-reveal designs on rock musicians; so now I'll tell you I based BVB's design on boyband members.)
I don't wanna draw HSV's full tattoos lol. This image has a record amount of HSV bleps.
Page 1 is before the match, and page 2 is after. I bet Hamburg isn't Dortmund's favourite ex-boyfriend anymore xD I like to think they're relatively amicable exes. :]
Basically, this comic is like, "I could do a handwritten assignment... or I could draw the two most handsome male characters in Bundeslihaha." Guess which one I chose :p
Transcript and twitter posts below the cut.

Page 1
Dortmund and Hamburg are wearing their home jerseys. Hamburg is also wearing light blue eyeshadow and square-framed blue glasses with a pearl chain. Dortmund is also wearing black-yellow striped nail polish and a half-circle big hipster glasses with striped yellow-black upper rims, silver lower rims, and a beehive and bee charms on either side of the handles.
Dortmund: (hugs Hamburg by the neck) Hehe, tach, meine Perle~!
Hamburg: (blushes, nervous) I haven't been "your pearl" for 30 years-
Dortmund: You get hotter every time I sea you!
Hamburg: Erm... thanks, Dortmund.
.
Dortmund: (ruffles Hamburg's hair with one hand, tugs at his collar with the other) Sooo... how's my favourite ex doing?
Hamburg: (raises eyebrow with a wry smile) "Favourite ex"? Is it because you won 5 out of 5 of our last meetings?
Dortmund: Nooo... definitely not, Captain!

Dortmund: (looks around with a hand over his eyes) Gibt's die Uhr eigentlich noch? Und wenn ja, was zeigt die an? 🤔
Hamburg: (holds glasses smugly with one hand and gestures at the screen showing the score and time with the other, which has "Koenigsdoerffer 90+7'" on it) Unsere Uhr hat 90 + 7 angezeigt, als das Ding eben eingeschlagen ist. 🤓

German transcript:
Borussia Dortmund: Gibt's die Uhr eigentlich noch? Und wenn ja, was zeigt die an? 🤔
Hamburger SV: Unsere Uhr hat 90 + 7 angezeigt, als das Ding eben eingeschlagen ist. 🤓
.
English translation:
BVB: Is the clock still there? And if yes, what's it showing?
HSV: Our clock shows 90 + 7 when that thing just hits. ("Das Ding" = that thing = the goal, and "Einschlagen" means something hits somewhere really hard or fast, like lightning hitting a tree, or a bomb. Thank you to my partner for this!)
