A shock indeed. I had one last idea for the Urusei Yatsura au that @artistefish mentioned because its hard to resist doing art for them.
I like to think that in the beginning they did agree to just be friends, so that Ataru can hit on alien babes and cause lum just doesn’t usually hook up with companions, but its getting harder and harder to still believe they’re just friends when stuff like this happens. Ataru, who is used to throwing himself at girls, is suddenly left feeling very confused about this situation, while lum very much wouldn’t mind exploring this new thing here. Which just makes the idea of lum erasing Ataru’s memories more painful
Whats not seen in the background is mendou and shinobu groaning at this, they signed up for space travels not a ‘will they or won’t they’ romance
Also just a friendly reminder of that one ten/donna kiss that pretty much confirmed the ship for me
UGH why is it so fun to draw Ataru and lum smooching? No this comic wasn’t an excuse to draw more uy/dw stuff and Ataru/lum kisses don’t accuse me!!
arty look at what you’ve done, making me draw stuff for an au that I love but also hurts me how dare you!
although if you think about writing about it I wouldn’t mind re-reading it forever just sayian
anyway hope you like it!!
