Artist's commentary
Teddy and Billy when they’re older.
Teddy, in my headcanon, at some point takes on his duty as the Skrull Emperor, but only to unite them and convince them they don’t really need him as an Emperor, haha. :P
(I like the idea of the Skrulls always adoring Teddy as their saviour and ‘king’ though, regardless of their system of government, and that never changes :D)
Billy stays with him through all these years, he becomes Sorcerer Supreme.
In the end, they’re both only still dorks and this is what this picture is supposed to show. :D
“Who’s my cute Skrull emperor?”
“Me! Me!”
“Yes, you are!”
[Kissies ensue.]

Ugh, that is so frickin’ cute.
It looks like Billy’s a little grey around the temples? Though he still looks pretty young…27-35 at the most. I bet he tried to magically zap it away and Teddy was like, “No, don’t you dare. Visible signs of aging are so hot.” and Billy’s like “Ugh whatevs.” but he’s still secretly pleased that Teddy likes him no matter what.
Though, it’d make sense that Skrulls find visible signs of aging sexy. They’re shapeshifters, so unless they want to look old, they probably don’t.
I really, really like the idea of Teddy being into signs of aging. Also, I think, Billy would be a candidate for getting grey hair really early…!
