Helpful advice!

Relationships in Mouthwashing supersede the need for earthly relationship labels. I am most invested in Anya and Curly, and Jimmy and Curly's dynamics from a narrative standpoint. I see them as not definable by labels in a way people would understand. But if you're just asking if I think any of them would kiss or do things typical of exclusively romantic relationships or something, then no, I'm not enthusiastic about that. I do depict their relationships as I see them and don't intend any of them to be "ship art" but whatever people interpret from looking at my art is out of my jurisdiction. I just love the dynamics and don't think about labels.

I also dislike the notion that romantic relationships are somehow more special and sacred like they're the pinnacle of any human bond. Platonic relationships can be just as deep and as impactful as romance, there isn't a power scaling, it's just a different type of relationship with different means and norms to display meaningful connection. Basically I hate the phrase "more than friends" and I never understood the big deal about "shipping".

But of course I love Mouthwashing for managing to have such variety and impressively real portrayals of non-romantic relationships. It's really rare we get to see the type of friendship Jimmy and Curly have depicted so true and accurate, and all the other ones too for that matter. I do however actively support Curlya enthusiasts' efforts but don't see their dynamic as romantic personally.

Tldr I don't really care.

Thanks!!!!!!! I try to be clear and actually provide something for asks which is why I answer sparingly to stuff (I'm sorry askers there's so many of you I appreciate you all tho heart emoji)

Ok, I think it depends on who Curly's with. He's a guy who doesn't open up to people easily and keeps up appearances. I imagine if he's with close friends, he will be the one to hit the floor without shame. If he's not, he will stand with his drink in hand on the side smiling and encouraging. With the crew tho think he'd be somewhere in the middle, not impressing anyone with the moves but at least he's not in the corner.

Thanks and yeah :)

People forget that Swansea is SO FUCKING MEAN in the game, he's such an unapologetic jerk. But unlike Jimmy who is a jerk and mean with spite and malice, Swansea is mean, but doesn't mean any harm and is self-aware of how much of an asshole he's being, that's just who he is. But of course being rude and mean is unpleasant to others and you can say a lot of hurtful stuff, which Swansea does. Being harsh on others can both be a positive and a negative trait, it all depends on the situation.

I love Swansea and his genuine unfiltered meanness.

Game night?

Babe WAKE UP!!!! another allonnotion comic dub just dropped

Aw thanks! I do actually take inspiration from cartoons/animated shows I like for my artstyle. I try make characters into easily animatable, simplified designs, so maybe that's why it reminds you of those shows.
