To the people we once were, and the people we have become- a LADS fan mini-comic
This is my OC Avalie (full name Avalie Sattari btw, I've talked about her earlier so if you'd like to see more, it's here and here ) with Caleb, from the game Love and Deepspace!
Some context: Avalie was born with black hair, but it whitened mysteriously after her grandma and Caleb died/ disappeared- possibly from sorrow, from shock, something around those lines. There's a fictional condition that does this whose name I don't remember anymore but yeah, back to the story. So before this comic begins, Avalie and Caleb had a fight and Avalie told him she needed some space. But they coincidentally meet at this one Linkon restaurant- where Caleb initially sees Avalie smiling as she looked at the scenery. The scene reminded him so much of their past that he mistakenly actually saw Avalie as she was before he'd 'left', but then when he calls out to the memory, the actaul Avalie turns around, the one who's still mad at him. He offers her candy as an apology, and Avalie cries here because she realises that no matter what she does, she'd never be able to bear being away from Caleb. Girlie here deals with a lot of guilt over the fact that Caleb essentially gave away his childhood for her sake, and she wanted to separate herself from him atleast a bit but couldn't. So they both apologise, her for the way things were, and Caleb for the way he was- the necklace connecting them together in their past, present and future.
AAAAAAA I love them sm ahahha
Btw the panels are inspired by this one webtoon called Operation: True Love! There was this one scene between the two main characters where the lighting and the environment the effects created was so lovely that it literally SCREAMED yearning, and I knew I needed to draw these two similarly, so I did!
