Happy birthday, @vederlicht!!!

Your art inspires me so much, and words cannot describe how amazing your style is, for any franchise you draw. Not to mention your amazing storytelling, too! I absolutely ADORE your MapleRum comic so far, and I loved the Sweet and Salty one as well. They're both so sweet. I hope the day comes when I buy any of the things you sell, everything on your store is so pleasing to the eye. ❤

Samuel and a darling that likes to sing? The mob is my second fav dlc fight. Not a close second though. The howling aces are cool.

Hardtop Harold - Darling That Likes to Sing

Note: Wrote this while one of my cats was laying on my chest and snuggling me. Life may not be easy, but it's good. Hope you enjoy! Word Count: 0.5k Warnings: Disregard of personal boundaries, implied violence, jealousy, obsessive behaviour, possessive behaviour.

♤ Harold has always been fond of music, be it ragtime, jazz, blues, swing, or any other genre; he loves a good tune, whether it's upbeat and made for dancing, or slow and melancholic, made to be appreciated in thoughtful silence. It helps to keep his morale up and relax him after a stressful day, which is why he always keeps a gramophone in his office, records constantly spinning while he makes calls, writes letters, and negotiates business deals.

♡ Once his darling enters his life and he learns of their proclivity for singing, however, the gramophone is all but retired. Why listen to a pre-recorded song by strangers when he can listen to the love of his life instead, right in the moment? It doesn't matter if they're good at singing or not. So long as they can sing, Harold will be smitten with their voice, constantly pestering them to perform for him.

♧ If his darling is the shy type and doesn't want to, he won't necessarily force them to comply, but he also won't stop himself from eavesdropping, either. Their singing feels so personal and intimate, and he's unwilling to prioritize their boundaries over the comfort their voice brings him. Besides, what they don't know can't hurt them, no?

◇ If his darling is more outgoing and open to singing in front of him, Harold will be immensely pleased. Much of their time spent together will consist of the two sitting in his office alone, his smaller body perched on their lap while he works and listens to their gentle humming behind him.

♤ Should they express a desire to sing for the mob like Maddie, he'll agree to let them do so, albeit reluctantly. While not the most jealous out there, his obsession is undeniable, and there are times when it will rear its ugly head; in this specific instance, when he sees them performing for others for the first time.

♡ His lackeys are too frightened of him to express their interest in his darling outright, but he can see it in their eyes as he sits among the audience: interest, desire, hunger. It infuriates him, and he's only able to keep his temper in check because his darling is present, their gaze frequently drifting to him as they sing their heart out.

♧ The experience is certainly a sobering one, and it shows Harold the true depth of his obsession with them, which he'd fought to suppress for so long. His feelings for them are far more deadly than even he could have anticipated, and it's this revelation that leads him to forbidding them to sing for others ever again.

◇ Try as they might, no amount of pleading or protest will get him to change his mind. He values their happiness, yes, but his anger is not to be trifled with, especially when fed by the poison of jealousy. His patience may be abundant, but even he has his limits, and if pushed past them, there's no telling what kind of bloodbath could ensue.
