They’re so CUTE AND FLUFFY!!!
Am I crazy, or is Alaric the one who went skinny dipping?
maybe he has skinny dipping could be a fun activity todo with yourself or friends
The background turned out niiiiiice. The affection between Keith and Alaric is heartwarming. Lovely work!
Ahhhhhh!! Their feet are naked cover your eyes!!🤣
...There's such a subtle detail in the fact that it seems Keith is the one who had to move his tail to twine it with Nick's. That's an action HE had to take, consciously or not. And now, having taken that action, he's smiling. I like that. At its heart, Keith's story is one of a lonely kid looking for a friend. Despite how reserved he can be at times, you'll notice he's always happiest when he's with other people. Whether that's Nick, or Laura, or Trace and Flora, or Nat. The thing that Keith wants, more than anything in the world, is to feel like he belongs. I hope, wherever the story takes Keith, that it leaves him somewhere, and with someone, he belongs. Beautiful, Tom. Congrats, AlaricLives87.
That was beautiful to read, Roughlandin. I also like the look of relief from Alaric that I'm interpreting here, who wanted to believe they were a couple now, but still wasn't entirely sure of Keith's feelings, as well as strict Basitin law closeting him his entire life. Once Keith reciprocated, it's like all of that weight was lifted from his shoulders and he is content to live the life he's always wanted for himself and Keith now.
I have shared quite a bit about how much this sketch meant to me personally. All I can say now is that sometimes, we can feel low, depressed, or even have severe doubt or suffer a crisis in identity and self worth because of trauma and internalization. However, sometimes all it can take is one very talented artist and author, as well a fanbase filled with love and support. It helps a lot and I will always be grateful for this.
Congrats, Al!
Alaric is still one of my favorites. I know a lot of the fan base loves shipping them but I really do love them as best bros. Seeing deep platonic love between two dudes is so rare now adays ya sometimes forget that it even exists. 💖
you're right and i am sure if they're really close they can feel what the other one is going to in that instance like if they're sitting on a bridge like this and aleric thinks to push keith in i believe keith would pull aleric with him as revenge
This. More of this, I beg of thee
the water looks clean and i bet it feels nice and warm in the summer last one in is the one who pays the beer at adira's tavern!
This could be totally platonic, no reason to ship—Oh. Right. The tails. (Very nice job on their fur, by the way)
This look amazing! We need more of our favourite Basitin couple
I will be more than happy to cook up a few suggestions for our two bois here, especially when June rolls around and we got PRIDE Month :)
lovely two
I was really hoping this would get picked, just because it'll be fun seeing AlaricLives87's reaction to seeing it in colour.
As I live and breathe.... I think? Pinch me or poke me with a stick. Do something that will ensure I'm not dreaming I'm seeing this, as well as to assure my family I'm still alive.
Is Alaric…wearing any pants? I can’t tell 😳
No, he doesn't
It's a pity that Alaric died(
Haha, I still find it great how comfortable Alric is with himself a d his ability to bend the rules. Note that only Keith is wearing trunks... :P Though I just noticed both lacking ankle wraps!
L... L... Lewd!
Cute :3
This kinda brings a tear to my eyes yet it makes me happy to see them together in an AU.
The best timeline for both of them, Keith and Alaric being happy together as a couple
