Older byler where Mike is recently divorced (his ex wife isn't El) partially due to figuring out that he's gay/bi/queer etc and Will is going through a mid life crisis due to not liking his job (art is a small part of his corporate job) so they decide to become roomates, especially since Will can introduce him to the queer world.
Even though they've kept in touch all these years, they aren't as close as they used to be due to life getting in the way, but now that they live together, they're closer than ever.
Queue various shenanigans including Will trying to help set Mike up with various guys to help out, learning that they can still pursue their dream jobs, finding out that there's no one they'd rather be with than each other as well as general and they were roomates antics.

being loveless does suck sometimes but less bc of some "ohnooo I'll never be able to loooove what will I ever doooo" bs but because how the hell do you tell the ppl around you that you view all relationships as business transactions where the currency is care and support and the reward is trust? How do you tell someone "hey so I could not care less about you as a person but also I enjoy every second we spend together and I'd fight the universe for you if you asked and if you ever disappeared I probably wouldn't miss you but I'd still cry for all the things we never got to experience together" without being the asshole?

Suns is such a bizarre thing actually i have a better grasp on who Wind and Innocence are than fucking Suns. why are they like that. what happened to you. why do you speak like that, baby boy, whats going on in those neurons, baby girl, have you gone bababooya, you thembo? -smacks desk- whas happening to you. answer.
because its strange. back in 2021 i thought they were going to be this cynical but somewhat reliable dude with a respectfully sized well of knowledge. that they were going to be red and even though they gave up on most of everything, they were strong in a way. because they were there to explain things to Pebbles. they were someone he could lean on, he trusted and felt comfortable about- so obviously they were also the opposite of overprotective. because thats what Pebbles needed and because its the polar opposite to who Moon is quite a bit
then Downpour came out and i saw they were yellow and how they spoke with Nish. i am gripped by color theory and what a hue signals about a character to brain, so i came to the conclusion that Suns is an awkward anxious thing who really cant do emotions to save their life. probably has nervous breakdowns every other other hour
but Now im looking at them differently again- im thinking about how RW is filled with opposites. Moon's structure glows blue, Pebbles' glows yellow- their overseer colors are each others. a pinkish red slugcat (Hunter) helps the blue Iterator, a blue slugcat (Rivulet) helps the pink Iterator. one brings life, other brings death to their respective goals. and then we have a Moon and a Sun characters- two most important people to the Iterator we could argue is in a way the main character of RW. the Moon is warm, the Sun is cold, i realize- maybe thats what Suns is supposed to be. they are the opposite to Moon in the sense that they are emotionally cold, they dont really get angry. rather theyd accept cynicism. Moon is optimistic, Suns is sorta a pessimist. Suns is what Pebbles gravitated towards, disregarding Moon. but you do need the Moon for planet's ecosystem and atmosphere, just like you need the Sun
that doesnt mean that Suns doesnt Love the people around them- they do, they most likely love to see the life all around them but they might be ignorant to it until something drastically changes that scares them
basically after two months of pondering ive come to the well accepted conclusion that Suns is actually the biggest dumb fuck that has ever dumb fucked around. bro as a vision impaired individual to apparently another vision impaired individual, how'd you not see that comin, you yellow pasta disaster
anyway, Nish to me is a mix of Sans Undertale and Miguel from The Road to El Dorado colored in green. I Know What You Are, Videocult 👁

wait did i ever actually explain the thiefkiller curse over here i dont think i did whoopsie
basically shiloh is Twitchy about being found out and if forced into a corner where it cant play dead or escape without doing anything obviously inhuman it goes 'aw fuck not again' and kills every witness - that being generally the band of thieves or other people who prey on travelers. because of shiloh's Big Fuckofff Teeth, their bites look nothing like either vampire or leech colony bites and more like those of a gigantic dog, so if/when entire gangs of bandits are discovered dead all together, completely drained of blood and covered in the bites and scratches of what looks to be a Massive canine, people start to theorize.
eventually the consensus becomes that this mystery murderer is some kind of supernatural beast that only targets highwaymen, likely summoned by a powerful mage somehow seeking revenge. as the myth grows, more and more is added to the idea of the Curse, from reasonable things like 'it kills anyone who sees it to prevent witnesses' to nonsense like 'the curse is actually the mutated vengeful ghosts of victims killed in robberies, who must drink the blood of their killers to remain tethered to the mortal realm'
jackass thinks the rumor is dangerous as the detail of large teeth may put them under suspicion, but shiloh is endlessly entertained by it and even joins discussions on the true nature of the curse. also worth noting, shiloh explains away all of its symptoms of infestation by claiming to be cursed, notably a curse that was lodged into their eye, hence the eye patch. this is possibly THE flimsiest excuse one could POSSIBLY come up with but it does, somehow, work for most. those who DO see through it are usually either already friendly with shiloh or the type not to pry. usually.
