s/i (who will probably be named after me, ancom) is in a black metal band, lifetheft, that rivals dethklok's popularity -- ancom's the vocalist and rhythm guitarist. ancom's appearance while performing is: corpse paint + cat ears (and furry paws when not playing guitar) anddd those spiked arm gauntlets -- lifetheft and dethklok play at the same awards show and meet backstage post-show and nathan's immediately irritated w/ my s/i. partially out of confusion and thinking my s/i's feline appearance is Lame but also he feels a bit threatened by lifetheft's popularity. this begins a genuine rivalry between my s/i and frontman for dethklok, nathan explosion :33 -- they purposely sign to play festivals and concerts together to see who the crowd likes more, leading to ancom & nathan spending a lot of time in close quarters (shared tour bus to conserve time and energy, for instance)... nathan is notoriously bad with his emotions, though, and starts having really weird dreams (🤔🤔) about my s/i, leading to a classic "oh fuck i want quem" realization. pickles eventually catches on to nathan's rivalry being more than just professional and essentially leaves us alone with a lit bong to "help us chill out"
