It has become a hobby of mine to spontaneously rewatch fandoms and whatnot, decided to rewatch a bit of metal family and realized something.
this.
i know this is just an image of glam concerningly staring at his friend, ches, but it means so much more than that.
with the context of the following scene, glam almost gets hit by a beer bottle thrown at the two by ches's mother. after that, he doesn't just continue staring at his friend's mom in fear, but... he stares at ches.
from episode 9, ches explains to glam on how lucky he is that he got first place at the conservatory. glam replies that his parents must be proud of him, for the amount of dedication ches puts though in his music (especially being self-taught). but when episode 10 reveals what his living situation is like, it's heartbreaking. sure his mother could just be drunk and y'know how drunk people say things they don't mean to, but it's clear that ches has to deal with this like all the time.
but that aside, knowing what glam's living situation was like in contrast, this is the context he gets with how ches lives. he doesn't know anything about his mother, even trying to talk to ches about it afterward. but that look, that glance, that stare. he's dealt with abuse for sure, and seeing his friend have a mother that just tried to hit him, seeing someone that what he thought at this moment that had to deal with the same-ish things he did, he feels a sense of relatability and concern towards him.
anyways uhh yeah that's my little explanation of that one frame that always hurts every time i watch it so hopefully you now feel that too.
Anyway, before your menopause gets worse, let's think of countermeasures. Are you talking about anti-aging? Yes. First, consume your fuel and temporarily increase your serotonin. Go ahead.
Many things swirled chaotically in his mind.
The stubbornness and pride that had sustained him.
The countless tasks he still had to do.
The unanswered questions.
Those who had departed before him.
The future after his disappearance.
And… the face of someone he had forcibly suppressed all this time.
Was he thinking about Kishiar the whole time he was getting tortured? Did he gaslight himself into forgetting about the alpha over the last decade?
Everytime he thought about Kishiar his heart would clench painfully. It hurt....it hurt so bad Yuder felt like someone had forcefully ripped his soul out of the body. There was blood on his hands and he was the only one to blame.
Now that he had washed his hands of the cursed position, he thought he was allowed to think about his lover commander. The face did bring him some peace along with the gut wrenching guilt. Yudrain was surprised. In the place which should've felt hollow when they removed his core, he felt warm. The biting cold of the cell didn't bother him anymore either.
He knew he should've gone to another kingdom when he had the chance but Yudrain still regretted nothing. He didn't flinch when Kishiar's smile just before his death swarmed in his head.
To a certain extent, Yudrain felt more at peace than ever. It was over. He didn't have to hold on any longer.
Distantly, as the people called out for his blood, Yudrain closed his eyes. If a golden haired alpha with crimson eyes appeared in front of him just before the blade struck his neck, then it was a little secret between himself and someone long gone. Someone he hoped to meet again soon.

Watching their older selfs hurt me in more ways than I can count and I dont know why. Like its finally setting in that the show is over and they wont be back again.
I don't know if this is going to make you feel uncomfortable, so I'm going to quickly drop this in the hope you take this well (and platonically; this is entirely platonic)
You are such a wonderful, lovely person from everything I've seen. The way you type is literally so adorable, and your energy is exactly what I aspire to be. I know you're just a random teenager on the internet like me, but everything you make is so wonderful.
I'm pretty sure you're a year or two older than me, so it makes sense that your art and fanwork and stuff are better than mine, but goodness, do you inspire me so much. I just want you to know how absolutely amazing you are and that if you ever can't upload a bunch, or at all, any day, none of us will mind. Just take your time, relax, and be yourself :)
