If there's two things I love it's a hair dye story and angst. Y'all know these characters so well, and convey their complexities perfectly. You got me howling over here with this beautiful art and writing.

I love the way these two are able to communicate with each other in ways they can't with others, but still can't completely understand. I love Midousuji's relationship with colors and how Komari effects that relationship, and I love how you've captured Midousuji's sad tendency to hurt others in his own search for coping.

"As he pulls his shirt over his head, he catches his reflection in the mirror, startled by the familiar color appearing in an unfamiliar place." Ouch. This is my favorite line by far I think. It reminds me of how Midousuji struggles to find happiness and comfort, and how his desire to own and obtain ultimately hurts him every time.

ALL IN ALL thanks for the food I'm emo
