every panel of ona and wes interacting injects 28 grams of dopamine directly into my brain
I did this for chapter 28 and for my resident believers, @goosesuredoesexist and @mikittalabs
Our pleas will be answered one day
(pinned because it is extremely important as it was seen by The man himself)
"Um, yeah, I'm kinda... scrawny. But I mean.. I do good work. Proof is in the product."
The man! projection central!! I hope he doesn't have to break his friend's legs
When bored it's best to draw your favourite cast members
(I can't draw Muschio without a reference though)
Hello every get ready for mental pain and tragedy
Yeah I'm. A editor. Sometimes I do that
You can indeed bond with the guy that scares you (rightfully so when we take the new updates in consideration) by smoking a cig with him
(ona design inspired by @goosesartblog !!)
With the divequest update confirming that Wes Fumo is in fact a gay man, and a suggestor already mentioning every male cast member, I've come to make this ramble..
As you can see, uh.
From the cast of guys :
- Barbakus is already dating Tislomer
- Dompag has his own thing with women, mainly Finesse and Ona, somehow. And I don't see him with guys at all
- Muschio is heavily implied to not feel any feelings relating to romantic love throughout the story
Which.. actually just leaves the only choice to be.. ahem..
For them to be endgame if weaver is nice enough (talking about actual Pendle here)
You might say "but Pendle is interested in women!!!!"
Which is true , although his interests are more sexually oriented than romantically.
Okay, but an assumption is never to be made without reasoning.
My main reasoning is the fact that they already have been narrative foils of Muschio Malto and Sir Ridder.
And I already have a list of those examples!
- Muschio and Ridder were childhood friends, Wes and Pendle were passing acquaintances, as mentioned by Pendle in chapter 23
- They both are red/blue coded in a dynamic sense, but:
- Muschio(the 'red') is sexually interested in women, while Wes (also the 'red') isn't at all interested in women since he's gay, obviously.
- To that, Ridder (the 'blue') isn't really interested in romance due to his strict rules about it, and his only thing with Sticks was done due to the fact that he didn't want to have sex before marriage and they had and. Yeah. But he was also mainly paired with men (Muschio and Terva especially) by suggestors and had some hints too! Meanwhile Pendle (the 'blue' too) is sexually interested in women as I mentioned
- OPPOSITES WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT THEY DO
Muschio is an exiled prince, Ridder is a knight. Pendle is a scholar and a wartime tactician, and Wes is a blacksmith
- Muschio and Pendle turned out to be the 'evil' in their respective stories.
But with Muschio and Ridder it went very well, actually.
And. You know what happened with Wes and possessed Pendle!!
I am debating on getting one more point I'd just need a revamp on Ridder's whole thing again but I know that both Muschio and Pendle were nobles who got more accustomed to a royal life
And since Muschio and Ridder were just very good friends even though they had SO. MANY. QUEERCODED. INTERACTIONS... maybe this part will be the opposite too as we didn't really see a lot of Wes and Pendle scenes and none of them had the same amount of homoroeroticism
Anyways to end this
WesPendle becoming canon would be so unexpected but I believe in them
wesonapendle (either all together or wesona/pendleona/wespendle, whichever you want) and muschio/ridder for the ship thing :3
I ALREADY HAD A WESPENDLE ONE PREPARED GOOD LORD I KNEW
They make me mental. I weep due to them. They bring joy but also pain. I need them to reconnect in some way after Pendle gets normaled. They are narrative foils and thematic opposites and their development is intertwined. And good god chapter 26 got me emotional
The tropes are fun on this one.. well before the Incident.
Red and blue. Noble and someone who never got the privilege to be royalty. Working analytically and working physically. Having a distinctive set of rules for living and not caring about it at all if he gets to work, martyrdom and heroicism, fear of corpses and indifference..
I don't know how to feel about onapendle after. That. So there isn't any big opinion about it but wesona on the other hand
I love wesona. Oh my god.
Small discussion but
Chapter 27 is such a good reason for that. Have you SEEN their shared scenes. They both have tons of guilt towards something that was out of their reach, something they couldn't even find out about until it got bad, and Wes Saved Her Goddamn Life.
They both got connected due to Pendle being possessed all along. And good lord the writing when it comes to that is so good. They help each other through the worst.
As a three? It's fun. But tragic. They all are connected due to chapter 26, but also earlier shenanigans with the "Ona thinks Wes is a creep but Pendle tries to reassure her he's harmless" thing
AND THEN . The original. I love them so much good lord.
The devotion. The whole prince/knight thing. The unending homoeroticism. The ace/aro solidarity.
They are so. Good together. They are so codependent. They are childhood friends who reunited again.
Muschio changed his entire standpoint due to an encounter with Ridder.
Knight blades makes it so sweet for no reason. I could go on and on about them just like you though!
Gayasses.
