This background is drop dead gorgeous, and possibly my favorite. Absolutely love the way you drew the water and the plants by the edge of the river

Frostedkit seems to agree with half of your sentence, he thinks he would be a lousy boyfriend as well. (I wish Dewpool and Nettlenose well, even if Frostedbutt doesn't)

ssleepy In reply to suicunetobigaara [2015-03-20 08:23:02 +0000 UTC]

hahahahaaa Frosted mayyyy be right with that
but Dewy defiantly doesn't agree!
probs because he himself isnt the best, his love is questionable... sometimes
it'll be a lot of fun exploring their relationship outside the clan ;v; now that they can actually be together haha

suicunetobigaara In reply to ssleepy [2015-03-20 08:37:10 +0000 UTC]

Dew sounds like a pretty good boyfriend. I mean he waited for Nettlenose despite clan boundaries and Mothdust. I hope I get to see more of them (Nettle, how could you get over Moth so quickly T-T)

ssleepy In reply to suicunetobigaara [2015-03-20 08:44:12 +0000 UTC]

hehehe there is kinda a hint in Whispers to Dew's possible less-than-righteous love
There is a piece of his past that controls his relationships, even now!
but indeed he was willing to wait, he's soso stubborn x'D like a rock

and I guess it could be because Nettle and Moth could never... sit down and really connect?
The love was there, but so much became jaded due to Nettle's fears and anxiety ; ;
even the most true of love couldn't keep him grounded! Despite how supportive lil Moth was v v

I love subtle hints~ (Is it the blue eyes?) I love how well you know Nettlenose and it's a shame Nettlenose could get past his fears (I wonder if they always were there or if they were caused by Kitewing?), but maybe Dewpool and his stubborn nature is the cat that will get through Nettle's walls? Nettle gets lucky with mates (Both Moth and Dew (I saw his app and I remember seeing him before!) are amazing cats).

ssleepy In reply to suicunetobigaara [2015-03-20 16:20:26 +0000 UTC]

yes it is!! and the reason Dewy is looking back despite Nettle before him- the eyes aren't very literal, there isn't an actual cat there, but it is to symbolize the presence of Wisp still lingering over Dew~ 
and that's a good question! He has defiantly always been an awkward little thing, but being rejected defiantly hurt him... I wonder if he's still not completely over it, and like Dewpool, using new relationships to rebound!
If Nettle could break down Dew's stoic monolithic nature and Dew could support and help ease Nettle's self hared and anxiety I think these two could be really strong!! Long as they don't put expectations on each other to cure their own loneliness or to heal them completely ;0; That's something they gotta do for themselves and if they go looking for it in each other they might be disappointed! 
((also thank you so much ;v; Dewy is my precious baby, that makes me so happy! ))

I love how much thought you have put into it! I love hearing about the inner workings of characters as well and Dew seems so well thought out. I hope their lives are easier without the clans and with each other. Not everyone can solve another person's problems even if they want to, but with enough time and support (and if one doesn't leave the other like in both of their pasts) then they might help each other's wounds heal- or at least that is my take on it.
