BarkBeetle Doesn't Deserve The Hate It Gets - Tumblr Posts

I'll be so real I truly don't understand the appeal of barkbeetle, but I really love your art for it, and it has made me wonder, what is the appeal of it for you?

(Edit: I forgot to say it! I always choose an unpopular/crackship over a popular ship)

This question left me thinking for hours... I never usually question myself why I like the ship.

In my view, Pest and Mark are people who are still recovering from their past wounds (Hurt/Comfort), they support each other, although they behave like colleagues most of the time.

There will be good days and bad days, but try to learn from each other...

Maybe Pest learned to be more open with his emotions with Mark, maybe Mark learned to face his fears thanks to Pest, I don't know.

I never follow popular fanon, instead I try to implement my own HCs, ideas and dynamics, that's the fun part, you know!

I always try to implement a different vision, I would like to explore dynamics (an example, the Domestic AU where they have their baby) It's quite complex, I guess.

In short, I see them as a hurt/comfort dynamic. I really like that kind of dynamic and its multiple possibilities.

Either way, they won my heart. In the end, shipping is for fun, I forget logic and have a good time.
