because we're friends, r i g h t ?

   ^{Frank, I couldn't forgive you after you selfishly left me behind like that, after everything you put me through.
        so, 
            didn't I have the right to hate you?
                didn't I have the right to make your life miserable?}


Bryce and Frank have got to be the most fucked up OCs of mine tbh, and the fact that they're "together" makes it 100x worse

Bryce didn't do all this because he loved Frank
He did it because he hated him

Frank was basically Bryce's biggest tormentor growing up. He would both physically and emotionally abuse him for seven straight years, isolated him from everyone else, all while calling it "friendship", so yeah, that completely fucked Bryce up. 
Then, as per this bloody fucking massacre (which they both believed the other caused, so that adds fuel to the fire), Frank just fucking booked it and tried to forget forget forget. Forget all about this kid, forget about the past seven years, just fucking forgET (he partially succeeded) 
Well, Bryce didn't have the luxury to forget.
He was forced back to the world that Frank was so bent on keeping him away from, and was riddled with SO much fear and anxiety. It took forever for him to, well, learn how to be "normal" again and rebuild the relationships Frank destroyed, and create new ones. Still, he couldn't forget, and was filled with SO much resentment, and wanted nothing more than Frank to completely suffer. 
And then here comes the Fate Game, where Frank is the top target.
It could have all ended easy. Kill Frank. Bryce knew who the target was, anyway, but he thought that was the easy way out. He didn't want Frank to die, no, he wanted to completely break him down, make his life a living hell.
And so, he orchestrated everything.
Play as this antisocial, murderous, and possessive person who was pining after Frank's affection, either kill his older brother or let Frank do it (the latter worked), slip out Frank's identity to the other Fate Game players, ultimately having over a dozen people (and soon, sO much more) after Frank to kill him. He even planned to kill Helena and Arthur just to drive Frank a lil more near the edge, and woulda done it if he didn't become close to them himself. 
But even this mask was both wavering and becoming real. Bryce would let Frank see a few slip ups. Hanging out with friends and proving he wasn't only on Frank like he said, tearing up at the deaths that he supposedly wanted, protecting the people he said he'd kill, refusing to kill the other ate game players himself, and just slipping outta that "crazy insane stalker" image and acting normal and even meek around Frank. 
And then, falling into the plan too easy. Boy actually found himself falling for Frank again, and not only that, but Frank fell for him too from all the slipups

Just as planned, Frank went over the fucking edge. "This person's trying to kill me, kill them, oh now this person's trying to kill me, kill them" over and over and oVER. And adding more and more fuel, he got tied in with the Well and its beings (sorta earth's equivalent of freaking heLL and deMONS) so now his soul is literally fucked, AND monsters and beings from the past wanna kill him too. MORE FUEL, his friends and family (who werent supposed to be tied with the fate game) get fucked over and death hits them. Overtime, he just fell lower and lower, he feels he gotta kill everyone in order to protect himself and his loved ones, and won't stop even when Bryce begs

Guy went from an awkward confused guy, to a homicidal cold maniac

Not only did Bryce set Frank up, but all these other innocent people. The Fate Game players were absolutely confused WHY he was siding with this guy over them, and once it got worse, would full out plead with him to please for the love of god, EXPLAIN, what is going on??? And he loved them, but hated Frank more, so he'd leave them to die. Even with all that pleading, and them still protecting him and refraining from hurting him, he couldn't break through much to help. He was only able to save Leslie since she was the final (fate game player) boss. She really broke him and made him realize the awfulness of everything he did

And now, that's why they're so uncomfortable together. Frank now knows that Bryce hated his guts and that he went through all that crap because of that hate. Bryce doesn't want to use his loved ones to torment Frank anymore. Frank's life is miserable, it worked, so, now what???

so yeah, the reason all this shit is happening, is because of Bryce

pffft frank you got PLAYED son....

Yeah I'm still writing Neverending and lmao I'm sixteen chaps in so I shOULD post but nah. Want to keep going with this mental roller coster

revised the sketch from here 
this was originally that drawing that I trIED to complete all while I was melting from the heat. And I SWEAR I SAVED IT (i had the lineart and skin shading - kind of a blending kind) and I mean.... I GUESS its ok since I intended to redo the lineart but..... whATT??? like I still wanted to save what I had left ;; 
like oh my gOD you guys I used so much layers in this, like almost 200??? hhhh. I always wanted to do speedpaints but always "meh, i barely do big pieces and when i do, i always take breaks" but i went all out on this because i dont love myself

Bye, love you guys so so much!!!
