Too Tired To Draw Rn So I’m Gonna Scream Instead

Too tired to draw rn so I’m gonna scream instead

Barok and Albert just have the sweetest relationship ever and they make me go BRRRRR

It never fails to make me explode how even after 10 years, after all the tragedy that had happened, despite Barok’s change, their friendship was NEVER!!! NEVERRRRRER put into question. Even when Albert didn’t understand Barok’s actions or even got frustrated with him, he still trusted Barok and vouched for him.

The thought never occurred to him to think of Barok any differently. Even after hearing the rumors and seeing him in court. And that was probably meant to show how naive Albert is but I DONT CARE!!! He has such a deep faith in Barok and that was so refreshing to see after all the smear Barok gets

And even if it is a jab at Albert, he was right wasnt he??? Barok cares so much about Albert and his safety. Whole tickets back to Germany thing. AND THATS THE OTHER THING!!!

Barok also having no insecurities about their relationship. No “I’ve changed too much” just “yes he’s my friend and I will go out of my way for him”

And then inviting him back to England!!!! I’m so so so SO glad the game didn’t let their friendship be just a plot point in one case!! And deciding that these two do make an effort to rekindle their relationship and be, you know, DEAR FRIENDS!!!! And I know Albert’s letter was more to be a clue that the reaper is a person based in England and not some supernatural force but, I also love how it gives a little more oomph to the fact that they genuinely care about and are important to each other.

And it’s just, ugh, so nice to see Barok actually care about someone and have the feelings be REAL and play on his mind

Kinda back to the first thing that I just LOVE how secure they are in their friendship! And everyone thinks it’s weird but their friendship was weird even in their university days so they just don’t give a fuck what everybody says. And absolutely NO hate or offense (cause I’m pretty sure I’ve done it too) to fanworks that have them be insecure about their relationship bc it’s realistic and completely understandable!!! And it’s fun to think of thoughts they might have bc the game doesn’t give us a lot to work with. But they’re just not insecure and THATS AWESOME!!! They have such a good friendship despite everything. AND THAT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME!!! It’s not even THE reason I love them so much but it is important

And seeing them together in the end credits is, just, like, the final nail in the coffin. They are a pair!! When characters are put next to important characters to each other, THEY ARE TOGETHER!!! they were introduced as friends, Albert got sidelined (as AA defendants are) and Barok had his whole HELL OF a trial and backstory and they STILL were put together BC THEYRE BEST FRIENDS!!!!

IM THROWING THEM AGAINST THE WALLS!!!!
