Oh boy I can already feel the side eyes from the title, this feels real messy but I just wanna know how wrong I am for this and what I can say or do to smooth things over with my friend.
So I (27M) was catching up with my friend (26M) after a having not being able to talk to each other for a while, he’s always known about my art and the type of stuff I draw and it’s always been the topic of many jokes at my expence, they’re always lighthearted and we both chuckle along.
After a us messing around with a couple old PS2 games we used to enjoy as kids he spotted my pile of recent drawings he asked if he could take a look through what I’ve been working on lately and I said sure.
He’d look through my stuff for a bit, makeing a few comments about my odd choice in characters, there a good few rather questionable images feature Ms. Pac-man and we both had a good laugh about how fucked my brain chemistry must be to find a yellow ball attractive but then he saw a image I drew of a character I made called Bree.
He said she looked a bit familiar and me being an idiot, I just straight up said "oh yeah, I kind of based her off your mom", he just kinda looked at me in silence for a moment, it wasn’t exactly a secret I always had a bit of a crush on his mom in our teen years but he thought I kinda got over it at some point, from there he kinda just made an excuse about it getting late (it was only 6pm, he had came at 3pm) and left, now he’s been very distant over the past few days, I asked if he was mad but he just told me he kinda need to clear his head and doesn’t know what to think.
so uh, here we are, I dunno if this is friendship ruining but I really wanna know if there’s anything I can say or do to make things better between us, we’ve been friends since we were kids and I don’t want something as silly as a few dumb horny drawings to ruin that.
(also quick apology for layout and grammar, there’s no other excuse other than I have autism and my literacy skills are horrible)
