Oh my goshhhhhhh, this is so cute ;o;

I love all the little mundane world-building details about tattoo romance movies and locker room gossip - it really brings the whole concept to life and feel perfectly at home in the setting. And I love these bros being huge dummies that can't put it together when they're literally wearing it on their sleeves. I screamed at cackled a lot, which I'm sure spoiled the whole thing for my partner but that's what you get when you move in with me.

Smart use of art to keep that suspense of how their tattoos will develop without overshadowing or being overshadowed by the prose. The dialogue and pacing were lovely - never a dull moment and with just the right vignettes to show a developing (b)romance. By the time they started getting melancholic about losing their best buds and hoping their soulmates were friends too, I was so head over heels for these losers.

Great job making the whole thing mesh! I don't think I've ever seen this many writers on one piece and keep such a consistent tone and style. You must be really in sync in your love of these doofs <3
