Cassian's relationship with Herald is so fucking weird.
He hates Herald for replacing him. He took the Sidestep name to spite him, to spit in the face of his bright eyed hero worship. He envies Herald his gender. He covets all Herald has and is. Herald is his nemesis. Sidestep is Herald's.
He loves Daniel. He basks in the warmth of his thoughts. He revels in the easy way Daniel excepts him. He wears Daniel's clothes to smell like him. He would kill for Daniel. He would burn the world for Daniel.
He's never been more honest with nor told more lies to anyone like he has with Daniel. He can't lose to Herald, but also wouldn't accept being taken in by anyone but Daniel. There's no good ending for them. Cassian wants it anyway.
I love how you draw Herald! He actually looks like a young man and not a lost 12 year old
That's very kind of you, especially considering I don't think I've drawn ever him the same way twice 😎
