Brotherly Love, Y/N?

[chlormscientist]

Good morning! It's been a long while since I've posted anything, I'm afraid; this is due to a multitude of factors which I don't believe are of any importance now.

Okay, so one of the reasons has to do with my posting here.

See, I didn't wanna just show up after such a long time without anything to present as a sort of "I'm sorry I dropped off the face of the Earth" gift, but nothing worked; I mean, I've tried fanart, but I just can't seem to draw XR without ripping my hair out (I used Kila's guide and everything, so I guess we can just factor this as an "I AM MADE OF FAIL" kind of thing).

So, I figured, why not write something? (Not that my writing is any better, but I somehow feel less inclined to mutilate myself with a paper cup after writing) Of course, the only plotbunnies (is that term even still USED anymore? O.o) that would show up involved XL, and they were all XR AND XL INTERACTION THAT DOESN'T INVOLVE MAIMING, and the only way I can figure that one is post-'Revenge of the Monsters'-- you know, after XL reforms 'n stuff?

But, of course, I'm having problems - Mainly, I can't quite figure out how the two would interact after such horrendous acts on XL's part (and on XR's part, as far as XL cares).

So my question is this (FINALLY JEEZ WOMAN): After XL reforms and becomes a cute little photocopier, how do you think XR would ... uhm... view (for lack of better word) XL? Vice versa? They both seemed pretty relaxed around each other initially, but would it last? I just can't figure it out. It's driving me nuts.

(If this doesn't belong in this section, or if I messed up in some other way, please correct me! I mean, I'm still not very good at this, and I don't want to cause any problems or anything!)

well, it could be the guide that sucks, you know. XD;

ANYWAY.

Now, that is a good question. And one I've thought about myself quite a bit.

I think they'd have a rather normal competitive-sibling relationship. XL would smack XR around pretty often, mostly playfully with the occasional '-smackontheshoulder- YOU IDIOT' moment, but he wouldn't be able to really hurt him due to being a photocopier with little twig arms. And XR would be constantly one-upping his brother verbally, with smack talk and witty comebacks that tend to completely go over XL's head. So, yeah. Pretty typical brains vs brawn relationship.

Nuh-uh, I don't think so! It's a very well-thought-out guide, and I did learn quite a bit on drawing XR with it! It's most likely that I still need a lot more practice, and I'm just being hypercritical of myself again. XP; Besides, drawing has never been my strong suit...

Anyways, I do believe you are right about the interaction. They seem like they could get pretty competitive with each other (in a normal, sibling rivalry sort of way, not the crazy homicidal way XL's been pushing for a while now XD), especially considering their own particular self-esteem quirks they have going on.

And then there's Commander Nebula, their "Dad". XD I can only imagine how much they would pester him daily.

yeah. XDDD
