there's something very amatonormative about the way booker sees the world
he tells nicky and joe that they had always had each other, whilst andy and booker only had themselves and their grief and that's uncharitable and an amatonormative way of looking at the world.
yes, nicky and joe are in a long-term romantic and sexual relationship that is very solid, but that doesn't negate like... their platonic relationships?
when booker says that, it is so damn self-absorbed and naive and amatonormative
does he not realise that nicky and joe have always been with him too? that nicky and joe lost quynh too? sure, andy lost her lover but look at nicky and joe when they tell nile about quynh - they loved her and her loss deeply fucked them up.
booker's betrayal is so, so selfish and amatonormative. and sure he had his reasons - grief, alcoholism, depression - but those are not excuses, but explanations. I'm on the side of 'booker is a character and what he did was understandable and he clearly needs therapy' but 'holy SHIT let nicky and joe feel BETRAYED because they were and shouldn't have to moderate their reaction to protect ickle booker' - like the amount of work booker needs to put in for a proper reconciliation is astronomical.
anyway I digress. by saying 'you always had each other', booker is being an amatonormative little shit who downplays both nicky and joe's platonic relationships, I love and care for the other immortals, including him, but also that they have suffered loss too - their families, and how their first meeting wasn't exactly serendipitous.
anyway! booker's framing of nicky and joe is deeply fucked up, stemming from amatonormativity and booker's worldview of competing grief. like booker.... grief sucks but it's not a competition, y'know?
anyway! this is a Reading TM of booker's worldview vis a via nicky and joe that I've felt strongly about because booker just like. is so self-absorbed in his grief that he cannot recognise and appreciate what he has, nor can he recognise that nicky and joe's lives haven't been sunshine and rainbows because they're in a romantic relationship.
like bro. they love you. go to therapy.

Updated reference drawings for Sasha, Sangyuu’s ex.
The monster-y version is for an AU, set in a friend’s premise where she’s an eldritch sea monster in human skin haha. Normally she’s a pirate who goes by Captain Whitewater. Still evil though.
Image descriptions:
1) A digital illustration of my original character, a tall woman dressed in a blue seafarer’s jacket. Her pale skin has scars across her arms, and her hair is white and tied into a long ponytail. Next to it is the same illustration as prior, but with more monstrous features. Her skin is unnaturally pale with a blue tinge, and various slimy appendages sprout from her back underneath her jacket. Two of the appendages resemble large, fleshy lamprey eels.
2) Sketches of Sasha making various expressions.
3) A rougher sketch of Sasha facing a shorter woman who is leaning up to nuzzle her. They are both laughing.
4) A bust-portrait of Sasha’s monstrous form against a dark background, with her jaws open wide and long, frilled tongue whipping. There is a lack of skin around her lips and jaw, revealing rows of sharp teeth that extend unnaturally to her ears.
