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!!

This is basically their relationship ya’ll

@artistefish made a fatal mistake on mentioning a Urusei Yatsura/ doctor who au cause I got major feels real fast

Cause like I can see Ataru being like donna, my fave companion. and I just kept thinking about how everyone would keep mistaking them as a couple, the snark, how Ataru and donna are similar where they don’t put lum and the doctor on a high pedestal, that they’ll treat them normal.

Plus like donna’s dialogue is hilariously something that Ataru would say

like imagine they meet when Ataru was supposed to be marrying elle or something and then they travel around with Ataru being known as a savior in the universe and he can’t know or remember the times he was brilliant or lum

Like one of the main points for ataruxlum is how he refuses to forget lum, but if forgetting their times together means that he lives then lum would not hesitate there, and then Ataru would forget her and ahidohfasfna

hey @danaty-consolation remember that fic on Ataru making lum forget him? how about this reversal!!!

no this not about my personal feeling on how I shipped 10th and donna and am still bitter about her ending not at all

I have some more stuff here so stay tuned!

hope you like it!!
