Spoiler ive seen some speculation that because he's not pink that he might be taking more from allison than she bargained
Spoiler: The relationship stuff I could have missed something because i read a lot of the comic without realizing there was worldbuilding stuff in the author comments...but I'm wondering if this is like. A culture clash ("feeeeelings are for the weak") or something specific to Cio that she has a hangup about. I mean, Allison probably should have taken "i don't do relationships" (don't recall the exact wording) as a red flag but also i sympathize with her frustration. Maybe she should write a fanfic about it (lol)
Spoiler: The relationship stuff I don't think the author comments really give much more insight on why Cio is like that, as it's more mythology and legends. I think it's just that Cio is more emotionally vulnerable than she wants to be, considering her demonic peers and her history as Yabalchoath. She's got Karkat-romance syndrome.
i love gog agog with all my fucking heart, and would also not eat that even if she payed me. or kissed me. which ever. (kiss her alison do it. DO IT)
It’s not often that a ship I’m this much of a sucker before gets this much canon time Mt phone background has actually been the kiss in Yre since the day that page came out l o l I just fucking love Cio
i love that every time her convo with cio is going well her hair gets whiter/bluer and her little key button gets shinier like "hi im the current holder of the power of god and my head is a mood ring. also im very very gay for this snarky little imp"
