Artist's commentary
*cries about combs*
ChengQing papercraft commission for @theleakypen! I love… them….. aaaaaaaaa
Just! The what-ifs! The mutual fierce dedication to their families and to their intrinsically opposing duties! The recognition of that in each other! The respect therein! Their eyes meeting in silent acknowledgment that this unspoken Thing could have existed between them (she took the comb!!!) but not in this world (she gives it back!!!!!!). I just. I’ve been in this fandom for like a year and a half and I’m still going feral over it
Anyway, I tried to pour some of that into this piece! Got some Extreme Hand-Holding and Intense Yearning Gazes for y’all.
