I always worry about answering these types of Asks where the answer is “no.” Probably the asker was hoping to see Canute topping or dominating someone, but I felt like I had a good grasp for how he’s respond and this was a better fit I think. That’s not to say Canute can’t top or whatever, but I feel like this is the more honest answer.
I had an idea that I thought would be funny, and I guess I just let the intrusive thoughts win this time.
As has become tradition, here is a compilation of some moments from this year’s Studio Christmas party. Hiro Hamada won the lottery to get chosen as the official Studio Santa this year, but as you can see he’s not the only one sporting the look. I had a lot of fun putting together this year’s party, and I tried to fit in an eclectic selection of characters. I hope there’s a little something for most everyone here, and I’d like to wish you all Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas.
Of course there are a lot of royal characters in the Studio, but I know this Subscriber has wanted to see Griffith and Canute together in the past, so that’s the direction I went. It’s a pairing that makes sense in the vein of the characters having some parallels, mostly due to them being pretty/effeminate friends/rivals of the protagonist who go on to become antagonists. I don’t know enough about Canute’s story to know how far he goes into that territory, so I assume he’s not as bad as Griffith, but the connection makes sense even if they might not actually get along. And, of course, Griffith has a rocky history with romancing royalty, so I figured I’d play into that a little in the response.
I don’t have a super strong grasp on the dynamic between Thorfinn and Canute, but hopefully what I’m going for here tracks. I knew some folks would want to see these two together sooner or later, so here’s a pretty uncomplicated Ask doing just that.
The last First Shoot poll I wan on SubscribeStar had a three-way tie. Canute here is the first of the three winners to debut. I think it’s kind of fun that he’s coming into the Studio the same way that Thorfinn did, probably because I’m not really into Vinland Saga but a lot of my Subscribers are.
