So with that recent Garnet Ask, there was a stage of the process where instead of Ed and Winry she would’ve appeared with Nolan and Debbie. Now, I dropped that idea for a number of reasons, but one of those reasons was I just didn’t think I wanted their first time appearing together in my work to be that. This, however, I think is a fine way for them to have their first Studio appearance together.
There was a time early on in Special Training where I was considering a panel kind of like this, but in the end I didn’t really feel like it fit the vibe of that comic. Instead we get son topping father here in a Dare quite a bit later, with both going outside of their comfort zones.
There are some men in the Studio who are so in love with women that, even if they awakened as pansexual in the Studio, it’s a little hard to picture them choosing to go after other men for sex. Kintaro has at least kissed a guy once, canonically, but I’ve always tried to pair him with women who don’t feel too far off from the types of women he chased in Golden Boy. This Dare puts him out a little bit, but luckily for him there are some guys in the Studio who are also not too far off from his established type.
So, on the surface this is maybe not the most daring dare, and might seem like it’s just pairing two random strong characters. However, an important part of the lore here lies in a background gag in Project A-ko. We only see Eiko’s parents in passing, but it’s a running joke that her parents are Superman and Wonder Woman, though they never state it outright. Now, obviously her dad isn’t the Superman from My Adventures with Superman she’s paired with here, but I think she might be able to recognize even an alternate-universe version of her dad, glasses or not. It just took her a bit for it to really click, which we see here.
There’s a reason why, in real life, you usually see the full nelson position done by a larger top to a more petite bottom. That said, it’s obviously still possible to fuck a grown man this way, and wouldn’t really be a problem for any of the super strength individuals in the Studio. When thinking of a potential partner for Loid here, I thought it’d be funny to use someone on the shorter side, so he ends up compressed a bit.
And here’s a second Dare for the month. I don’t think we’ve seen these two together yet. It’s interesting how a lot of Zarbon’s Dares involve him topping. I feel like there may have been a lot of Dragon Ball stuff this month, I hope people aren’t too upset by that.
So beyond the fact that Kanamori gets preferential treatment from me, I immediately knew which Saiya-jin I wanted to pair her with for this Dare. I don’t know exactly why Raditz immediately popped into my head, but it just felt right and I figured we hadn’t seen him in a minute. Also, while she’s exploring a bit in the closing pages of The Eizouken’s Closer, I believe this is her first real anal fucking with Near Hentai Studios.
So even though I’ve drawn Denji bottoming, and not just to Makima, I still don’t think it’s something he’d be crazy about doing, y’know? But for a Dare he’s ready to go, and this time Aki gets to tell Denji to his face he’s not a fan of the virginity arc.
This is sort of a follow up to Anna’s First Shoot. She’s taken a real interest in Yoh’s Studio work, and I figured this Dare would be a fun way for her to explore how he’s grown while she was away.
I’m not sure exactly how these two would see each other in the Studio. While his anger was pointed at Frieza, Bardock’s a bit of a rebel and I don’t see him being particularly nostalgic for being a soldier and towing the line. King Vegeta, while still using that title mostly to distinguish himself from his son, is not a king in the Studio and doesn’t really hold any more power or influence than Bardock does. I had this idea for an exchange between them for this Dare, though.
