Newt

Crying in the club

Jessie

….hold his darn pinky!!!

charlie

no i don’t think you understand i’m ugly crying right now

Bunny

Same lol

charlie

i will never be normal about how large a2 is it makes me want to do unholy things to him

vatican

so committed to the slowburn i wont even let them hold hands

vatican

he is big bc he is full of love

charlie

i love how we’ve literally seen them fully embracing foreheads pressed together but this shy little pinky brush is what’s doing me in

charlie

the last panel is so peaceful i feel like the weight of the world just fell off their shoulders because they’re together again

anthroxagorus

This was perfect, Vati. Thank you. This comic was so beautiful and so vulnerable. Will we get to keep seeing these two?

Em

I glanced at the first panel and was like “oh hey look they’re actually making eye contact” but looking closer NOPE eyes closed. MY DUDES. But they’re so tender when they are looking at each other. And the pinky touch! A2 initiating contact!! I am obsessed and can’t believe this chapter is over 😭😭😭

charlie

me too i was like oh how unusual and then it was like oh no there it is alexa play ships in the night 😭😭😭😭😭

charlie

ONE OF US ONE OF US

vatican

thank u!!! i had such a good time working on this and reading all ur reactions to it! im chipping away at the final outline for chapter 3, so hopefully we’ll see more of this comic soon :D

vatican

its a2 being brave 😭😭😭

Em

RIGHT?! It’s so intentional! Like “I am going to touch you on purpose” and not just sheer relief at them both being alive.

L

GOD. Their matching bloody knuckles…a1’s hair splayed over the pillow…a2’s sweatpants….little sliver of hip…the palpable tension…….. god I love them soooooooooooo much

charlie

he’s being so brave i’m so proud of him 🥹🥹🥹

L

I would do anything for either of them

L

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

vatican

when i said slowburn i meant… slowwswww burnnnn 😭😭 i also cant believe its over i started working on it last October 😭😭 5 months for 18 pages fhcnvjvnvn im the slowest artist alive 🫡

charlie

no i know i saw his hipbone and then i realized he’s probably on top of the covers like a gentleman and i swooned

L

‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

vatican

i gotta make every interaction between them feel mundane yet earth shattering

charlie

also i’m obsessed with a2 just doing a slapdash job caring for his own wounds and delicately and thoroughly tending to a1s so they barely scar if at all

vatican

i feel like every touch up until that point served some sort of utilitarian purpose and this one is just cause he wanted to

charlie

mission accomplished chief jfc

charlie

he can have a little physical affection as a treat

vatican

yes this exactly thats why a1 has like 0 visible scars

Em

Also also. I commented on a previous page that they were positioned like the birth of Adam, and if you’ll let me torture the metaphor a little bit, a2 was in god’s position in that one, and a1 was in Adam’s so, and so them being barely separated in the last couple pages (especially their HANDS, fuck me running) is just like in that painting and now a2 is the one closing the distance? Like I know we think of a2 as being obsessed with a1 like a god, and a2 will grovel and worship and crawl across glass. but like. In this tortured metaphor, a1 just got touched by the hand of god, and I choose to believe it’s gonna set off something magical and tragic. ESPECIALLY given what I think their names are. SORRY for the ramble. I just can’t stop thinking about them and the Implications of religious imagery.

vatican

THANK YOUUUUU lust is stored in the sliver of a2’s hipbone i show u guys every two to three business days

Em

YOU DONE IT. Thats exactly how id describe their interactions.

Nico Bear

🫶 those little smiles

charlie

no you’re so real for this like i made that joking comment comparing their perspectives but vati’s said a1 is almost as worshipful of a2 just in a slightly less fanatical way lol and this whole exchange has felt very touched by the grace of god anointed by his holiness etc

Nico Bear

also second to last panel 🫠🫠🫠

vatican

yes yes yes to all this i think a2 wears his heart on his sleeve, he’s blunt and he’s not shy about what a1 means to him and what he’d do for him but on the other side of it is a1 who is just as obsessed with a2, but w the quiet fervor of someone who doesn’t quite believe in god anymore but still prays when theyre at their worst

vatican

theyre god and adam, theyre adam and eve, theyre cain and abel, theyre samson and delilah, theyre issac and abraham, theyre

vatican

😭😭😭😭 a1 is feeling. so many complex emotions

SailorSuu

*whispers ‘David and Johnathan because there’s nothing more tragic than being human’ before scampering back to the sewers*

charlie

a2 praying to his light bringer and messiah and a1 praying to his own personal someone who is like god i am violently frothing at the mouth

L

This is like fucking catnip to meeeeeeee 👹👹👹👹

vatican

every conversation they have is a prayer

L

Yeah you are like an expert at that omg

vatican

SailorSuu

We have been spending months to get to a pinky touch. Worth it. He touched him for no reason, just cause he wanted to. It’s been so fun to watch this unfold I can’t wait for the next chapter. My beautiful A2 ❤️

vatican
