Old Habits (page 51)
Added 2021-12-03 11:13:24 +0000 UTC
… I’ve been waiting to draw this page since Song put that envelope down his pants.
Thank you all for much for your kind words yesterday! I’m really happy you’re enjoying this comic! We are coming to a close in probably about a month on Old Habits and then I’ll need help decided what to draw next! Either a short comic of what directly lead up to the proposal or Mansa and Song’s first meeting!

I'd love to see either of those comics!
And HAH go Song. Elon deserves all the immature behaviour.

I’d love to see their first meeting. I feel like I saw a glimpse of events leading to the proposal although it’s painful to think that it’s also a catalyst to Song’s departure 😢 I’d love to see more about when they first met 😃

Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to give such a detailed answer! That makes perfect sense, unfortunately. 😞 Thank you for writing this sensitive topic with such rawness and accuracy.

Not going to lie he probably just shamelessly reached down his pants while facing Elon and threw it on the desk 🤷🏻♀️

Thank you, Whiteley, for this explicit description after the CW, which is so true-to-life. I can relate, in a way. Poor bean Song, and I'm sorry if you experienced something like that yourself. You pour a lot of yourself in your art, and it shows...

Elon is a dickhead and he doesn’t deserve a more mature or thought out answer. I really want to see their first meet and wing infernal Harmony

Dickhead happens to be a very mature insult, Elon. 😤 (tiny technical question: did Song like turn around to pull that out or like…how did he get it out in front of Elon?)
And first meeting please! I’ve been dying to see it since you first described the meet-angry (?)

I’m planning on doing a fairly long flashback of just Elon’s life in the actual story itself, but I’d be happy to talk about it!
Elon was very much in love with Song when they met. He was having other infernals run hexes for him and sleeping with a few but Song was very bold and was popular with humans (not in a romantic way, popular because of the conjuring performances he did with Etty). But “love” for Elon was more about possession obviously. Maybe because Elon was a little jealous of Song’s popularity with humans too. He was not allowed to love infernals, and suddenly here comes this hot young thing that humans in power are lining up to see conjure. Elon wouldn’t see it as fair that others could watch this, enjoy it, essential use Song for entertainment, and leave without ever thinking about Song again, where as all he wanted to do was be with an infernal and he wasn’t allowed. But instead of getting upset with the system of oppression (like Mansa) he would get mad at infernals like Song for allowing themselves to be used like that. When Song asked to be his courtesan he realized that he did in fact want a real relationship with an infernal (which the scholars would not allow). He definitely took that out on Song until Song couldn’t take it anymore and left.
CW for toxic relationship/mental and emotional abuse: As for Song he has always liked humans and had flirted on many occasions, which usually got him kicked down (sometimes literally). Elon was the first human to show any interest in him AND he was a celestial scholar, which was extremely validating for Song. Plus Elon lovebombed a lot, and because Song was so young he didn’t see that as a red flag. He let Elon buy him jewelry and clothes and even rent him a house, which he realized too late was to isolate him. Suddenly he didn’t see his parents or Harmony, he didn’t preform with Etty, everything he did revolves around Elon. He must have seen giving up all other relationships as true devotion/love, while also feeling just utter despair because he was so alone. He also thought that if he was something real to Elon that he would feel whole again. He asked Elon to be his courtesan because Elon had become his entire world. When he was rejected and Elon started treating him worse of course he assumed it was his fault, I mean Elon had only ever given him gifts, and provided for him, and loved him, so he (Song) must be the problem. He found out about the other infernals Elon was with but still stayed because he felt like he had nothing else by that point - he’d pushed his loved ones away and assumed they wouldn’t want him back now. He let the relationship continue until he saw Elon hit Georgie. Song packed up and went straight to Harmony after that!
They’re very oil and water now because Song has forced himself to become oil. He knows what Elon can do, and more importantly he knows if he’s not careful and goes along with this charm that he’ll get hurt again, only this time he’ll drag Mansa down along with him.

Another vote for first meeting! It’s the foundation for the entire saga.

I think both things would be really interesting! The first meeting sounds super funny but the proposal sounds like it might include Mansa finally realizing building up the courage to marry Song no matter what the others say.

I saw a tutorial recently for how to wash tips one receives for stripping. They exist! Google it, Elon, god 🙄😂

😂 I mean, Elon, the man has no pockets. What do you propose he does exactly??
Whiteley, I have a question today, and maybe you want to wait until future comics and that’s fine of course! Just curious: what drew Song to Elon in the first place? Did Elon turn on a certain charm that wasn’t his normal self? In these scenes, they’re very much oil and water, but you’ve done an awesome job of showing such realistic gaslighting that I’m thinking the Elon that Song met isn’t really him. Thank you for that, and I’m sorry you’ve experienced it yourself. 😞💚
