Cliff/Eugene- Important retcon- extra panels + plot!

Added 2025-03-11 21:38:01 +0000 UTC

I added some extra panels and a hell of a lot of extra meaning, haha! I don’t usually retcon…but I really had to here. Honestly when I was first doodling this scene I had the idea of Cliff inviting him to dance by saying 'come on, when the last time you danced with a man?', and Eugene was going to reply ‘Am I that obvious?’, as a coming out moment, and I was like no…That's too BIG for a random dancing sequence. But god damn I couldn't get it out of my head as belonging here, after all! It's a little different, but more sincere I think. I was resistant partly because I want to draw a comic about Eugene talking with a friend before this, making him more willing to open up to Cliff, but I'm going to try to not worry about perfect timeline accuracy. I will get to that when I get to that! I never intended this cute dance comic to be an integral part of canon, but I liked the setup too much to waste it! (sorry to skip ahead in the plot, though)

My friend (who is filled with endless wisdom) said something like ‘oh boohoo you keep coming up with impactful ideas when you're trying to do something small and cute, how terrible.’

They were right and I should have stuck to it lmaoooo.

[I have edited the original post, too, if you want to see it all again]

I've been working on the short nsfw hearth and solace sequence so expect to see the start of that this week. I've also been making some nsfw compilation pdfs which is why I've not got nsfw art out this week yet :p! (drawing this comic extra was my reward for dull pdf making. I had to take an arm break from drawing them since friday and I missed them haha.)
