Description [link]

It's a very sweet concept, and I often see it depicted here at deviantArt. Usually, the thread seems to come from the heart rather than being tied around the ankles, but I kept to the myth here. It even works with the idea of the picture better. You're more likely to trip over something around your ankles than streaming from your chest.

Anyway, this is the picture that epitomizes this couple, for me. If you remember how I portray them - your only evidence, unfortunately, being an old fanfic that desperately needs finishing - I'm sure you will note the symbolism. Here we have affection that is, for a very long time, completely one-sided, and embarrassed and awkward and uncertain.

So you see, here O'Chunks is messing up romantic conventions again and proving his utter incompetence at being the sweet charming gentleman that Nastasia always wanted. While she doesn't even realize the thread is there, he is always tripping and getting himself tangled up in it.

Upon consideration, this would make a great "cover" for Dinner and Discord, if I added a title...

Gah, I loooooooooove these two in your style! O'Chunks looks pleasantly bewildered and Nastasia is looking at him like "Um, what are you on?" xD Poor O'Chunks, he'll never get this gentleman tomfoolery down.

I'm glad to hear it!

Indeed, but... you gotta love him for who he is ^_^ I think, after all, if Nastasia can't have Bleck, once she gets over her aching she'll realize that anyone who resembles him in manner will remind her too much of him, yet fall short of him. So she WOULD need someone who's quite the opposite, huh? Coarse, clumsy, simple. But also as sweet and loyal as they come.

Aww mein Gott! Das ist ja sowas von süüß! I always knew those two were
soulmates! But really, I totally love what you did there! Heh, O'Chunks seems
very... surprised, I guess? Rrr, such a cute O'Chunks when he's all blushed.
I like how you drew Nastasia, too! You keep getting better, also the coloring
gets better and better. Keep your works up!

Vielen dank! Ich kann auch immer besser Menschen zeichnen; sie waren immer schwer fΓΌr mich, weil ich meistens Tieren zeichne.
