What do you mean his character design not helping?
I think it's the face. I actually followed the artist before they published wet sand. Most of their art (along with wet sand tease) have these villainous look. Normally I like them because they look so cool that's why I follow them. I didn't even know wet sand is going to be bl. But with tj, coupled with the tone of his hair and hairstyle, it made him look greasy. Though I think it's on brand of him though but I couldn't take him seriously because of that
Pardon the grammars and repeated words
Noted.
Smuts are really good but I just hope tj look a little better. He looks so greasy ever since his first appearance. I don't want to make a choice because I know it's going to be a pain but his character design is not helping it
