can we get some examples of historical fiction characters who would be terrible in other settings but we root for
lol person who asked if they’re canon here! i think any form of relationship outside of platonic is a canon relationship (even if it’s strictly sexual) i just wanted to know if they were together in anyway or if it was a ship where they NEVER interacted 😅 (currently on the search for the english translation)
The relationship I draw them in (minus some of my extra delulu pieces lol) is pretty much their canon relationship! They’re a master and servant who develop a sexual relationship with other weird elements. And they do various other things like sabotage the Church and invade small countries. You can get Barbarities in English up to volume 3 (of 4) through Barnes & Noble or Amazon (or any store near you that sells manga) or you can get it in ebook form through Kindle! https://www.amazon.com/BARBARITIES-I-Tsuta-Suzuki-ebook/dp/B0BP6M98YR
the killing moon by echo and the bunnymen is gil and luis to me i cant explain it
are gil and luis canon in barbarities? i want to read it bc i love your art of it so much!
Hi Britt, I'm one of the many people who read Barbarities because of your art and now loves GiLou! I read it from a scanlator since it's sadly not available in my country, but their translation of Gil's final monologue about Louis got me a bit confused about his feelings. I wanted to ask how you interpreted it, especially since you have the context of the JP version as well! Another thing, can you share how Louis' name is spelled in katakana? I'm trying to decide between using Louis or Luis, so would be great to know how it's pronounced. Thank you and have a lovely day!!
Luis’ name is ルイス in katakana, so Luis is the most literal translation (however, both the official French and Spanish translations use “Louis” so it’s still like, an acceptable spelling lol)
I don’t think the scanlation(s?) got anything glaringly wrong about Gil’s monologue in vol4 (just a bit underwhelming in the wording maybe lol) so you should be able to refer to it. Gil’s feelings towards Luis remain complicated, of course. There’s not really a way to soften the edges of their relationship, or to disregard the implications it has for Gil, but I think the main takeaway from his monologue is that these things are still so painful and significant to Gil but he has chosen Luis anyway. And he knows this is a hollow choice that can’t go anywhere. He says he’s “given up” wanting something real with Luis (being able to touch the light) but that he just wants to be able to look at this light from a distance. It is a very bittersweet and fitting note to end on for them, imo
It doesn’t really work to try and interpret their relationship as a standard romance, I think you have to just take it for what it is and spiral forever into speculation and over-analysis lol
Okay about the impact how do you feel ab Gil slapping Luis’ tits when he’s too drunk/fucked stupid to do anything ab it, idk I just think ill advised impact play is a very them thing
I think Gil gets away with a lot when Luis is really horny/drunk that he may get in trouble for later if Luis can still feel it once he’s sobered up 😂 or! He might get away with it if Luis can’t figure out what happened. Anyway re: tit slapping specifically, Gil is deeply bazongapilled and Luis’ titties are his fidget spinner so imo Would.
Impact play outside of just spanking, like tit slapping or face slapping or caning
oviposition?
what does the ideal emeto forced situation look like?
Gil forcing his fingers down Luis’ throat to make him vomit because he drank himself sick or possibly swallowed poison. My friend wrote this in a fic and my eyes were opened. Someone else wrote a fic where Luis pukes having had nothing all day but wine and it scares Gil for a second because it looks like blood
hypno?
tops that are just plain bad people
live-in chastity or longterm locks? who gets the cage?
making someone cry
