can i get Chris and Arin for the BINGO list plz?
OneyRaptor THOUGHTS:
To me, they’re the typical/classic tragic yaoi. Two dudes who bonded over common interests and became good friends, but overtime partner B (Arin, in this case) changed (for better or worse), which led he and partner A (Chris) to drift apart. Eventually, partner A started to disdain partner B for how he’s changed, their friendship officially ends, and has never repaired since.
Arin being one of Chris’ main inspirations also adds another layer of tragedy. Chris slowly witnesses Arin’s opinion towards Newgrounds (and their clique) change (for better or worse) in real time, and realizes Arin won’t ever go back to how he was during his Newgrounds days devastates him.
A highlight for OneyRaptor is that they’re two sides of the same coin. Both became popular due to their Newgrounds animations, Youtube screwed them over with demanding daily uploads/vids had to be around 10 mins long (correct me on that), which resorted to focus on Lets Plays as they were easier to make. However, how they approach games, their humor (which began to contrast overtime), and their fanbases are what make Chris and Arin different from each other. That part is what fascinates me with this ship.
This ship is one I’m less crazy about, but I think about it fondly every now and then.
