gets no likes because, well… *gestures to drawing*
Elon sees weakness and moves in to strike, it’s just who he is…
And I believe AJ is already screaming 😅 someone please comfort them!
He might try but song would never!

How far is Elon willing to go if Song is vulnerable enough? Would he try to get him into bed?

when I said I wanted Song to have a hug, this is not what I meant. :(

Btw, lots of likes for this, because the rotten choices of villain characters does not lessen our enjoyment of the art and story. ❤️❤️

Mansa would have noticed, but I’m sure song spun it in a way that made it seem like his choice
Whiteley Foster
2022-06-09 19:15:57 +0000 UTC
Wait. Back to the nails thing. Has Mansa noticed? Has he been around enough to notice?!

There are characters you love to hate, and then there are characters you just HATE.
But what I DO love is he’s believable. Like he’s *real*. I’m sure that’s because of experiential influence. He’s not some over-the-top villain trying to take over the world, he’s the kind of person any one of us have or will encounter. Even when this story’s universe has roots in fantasy and magic, it’s still very grounded in reality by its amazing *real* characters, and I love that.
Also, very much fuck Elon and people like him.

The "if I can't have you no one can and I'll make sure of it by being sweet to you in moments of weakness"
ugh. I got snared in that a few times due to being in a very bad place and it's so awful. The person doing it is a fucking horrible narcissistic manipulative creep. The idea that keeping someone you "love" in a state of mental illness or trauma just so you have control of them is nauseating.
This bit of poison in Song's ear shows exactly why he acted as he did/does.
In this you show how influences on both sides cause so much hurt to the pair of them. Kudos to you Whiteley for showing this seemingly cut and dried situation and how so many outside influences can be damaging.

What's his end game here? Is he trying to get back with Song?

True!! When I first read the proposal I was so angry at Song for leaving like that, but now it makes so much sense!! He really needed to get away and find himself, it's just sad how Mansa doesn't know any of this😞💔

You've done a great job of showing how easily Elon can manipulate and abuse because he knows Song so well. Very sad but very relatable too.

Elon prefers short nails, so while he likely didn’t ask song to cut them the remarks made probably just became too much
Whiteley Foster
2022-06-09 13:20:01 +0000 UTC
Me: *Scream of rage at Elon’s evil audacity!!*
Also Me: *Is extremely flattered to have a shout out in the opening message! Thank you, Whiteley!*
ALSO Me: *Is flooded with anxiety because Song is tired, and worn from a run, and doesn’t even have his lovely sharp nails for protection! What happened to his nails??*
AJ
2022-06-09 13:17:58 +0000 UTC
I need this abusive manipulative disgusting piece of shit fucknut to never ever EVER be allowed to touch Song again 😤
And just damn Whiteley, you are amazing at writing all sorts of characters, our hate for him and love for ManSong is a mark of your talent!

Ugh the abuse!!! Saying Mansa has “kept Song around” like he’s just a pet, not an equal partner in the relationship.

Fuck you, Elon!! He hasn't kept him around, they love each other! Hope you step in puddles every day for the rest of your life.
But, seriously, this is turning all my reactions from the previous Proposal on its head. Now, I just want Song to go away and discover himself and really do what he wants to, not be used and abused and neglected. I would've hoped he'd explain things to Mansa, but I kinda get where he's coming from, it's hard to feel like you'll be missed, if your partner is barely spending any time with you, I think.
I hope he comes back better able to communicate AND stand up for himself, so Elon never gets the chance to get to him like this, but I also kinda hope Mansa treasures him more when he comes back and they actually talk about things.
In a nutshell, I'm soooo ready for more of Song's journey!!

I'm back at work today driving commuter trains around Stockholm after four weeks of sick-leave. I'll drive by branch stores of the swedish home electronics chain Elon at least 10 times today. I'll send bad vibes his way every time!!
Also, you are an amazing creator to be able to raise such strong emotions all around the globe!!
