When The Maillard Reaction Happens

When the Maillard reaction happens

Michael and Max in winter

My one and only visual gag is that Max (Coolant) is very lightly dressed for the weather due to frost resistance

my art exists in range from highly detailed pictures with cool lighting and even sort of mood in art to this (examples provided)

I'm sad over the fact that I can't create art as good as before and in same amounts as before, as I currently don't have time and strong enough computer for that.

But also made me appreciate all of my artworks from little scribbles to full scale paintings

So I've seen the whole 'Math's Saddest Love Stories' (asymptotes that drift ever closer but never meet etc.), but I think we're missing the potential of Math's Funny Love Stories. The couple whose destiny is an infinite cycle of breaking up and getting back together again:

Oscillating rapidly in and out of each other's life for a while before drifting apart in opposite directions:

Drifting ever closer, until you finally meet and go fuck that:

One who drifts slowly closer to the other, until they acutally meet and decide to make a very sharp turn in the other direction:

Whatever hellscape of contrived coincidences these series of infinite near misses are:

When superpowered characters who based huge part of their identity on their powers lose their powers

More light version: uncomfortable conversations about "What will happen if you lose your strength"

More realistic version: Character has to rebuild their whole life after losing their superpower because a lot of their habits were shaped by them

More fluff version: character A takes care and helps character B after power loss

More grim version: character placed their whole value in their superpower and after loss they are not only discarded by society/community but also they lose their self worth

More therapy version: Character detaches from their superpower because they feel like that they're valued only for their superpower and it hurts them deeply to be seen only as vessel of their power. And in loss of superpower they experience both devastation and liberation

More lore material version: group therapy for those who lost their superpowers

Hope version: character after loss finds their new occupation in mentoring other character with same/similar power
