For the longest time I’ve been metaphorically blue-balled by this amazing and lovely community.
There’s a wealth of abuse and hugbox to be found out there, but I’ve been dying (metaphorically, I hope) for a story that has both the abuser and the “saviour” be the same person.
Cute aggression is a rather extreme reaction to cuteness that we’re all very familiar with, but the desire to care for and protect said cute thing never really goes away for me.
Unfortunately for Rudy, he’s too damn cute.
I was planning this out and said “this panel needs spaghetti as the focal point,” and in my hubris I said “I can draw spaghetti, easily.” Needless to say, it was not easy, and I just kind of gave up and instead just made a mound of something that looks like a classic spaghetti and meatballs if you drank a gallon of vodka, took off your glasses and squinted really hard.
First post here on the website btw, lemme know if I tagged this wrong or messed up somehow.
