I think Richard and Christopher would look something like this in Kangjak's art style.
I couldn't find the author, I found the fanart on Pinterest 😭

For those who don't know, during Diaphonic Symphonia Christopher played a prank on Richard and rubbed Tiger Balm on his eyes XD
The problem is that Richard couldn't take the joke and did something horrible afterwards 💀

Back when Richard was a Black Flag Christopher constantly tried to kill him and always made it clear how much he couldn't stand being near him.
And when they reunited in Suite Christopher literally threw up after Richard kissed him.
Christopher only began to accept Richard after the latter completely changed his behavior and spent years proving to Chris just how much he had changed.
Therefore, Stockholm syndrome simply cannot apply to this case, which is good because I hate it when people make that up.
They both used to be unhinged, trying to kill anyone who touched them.
They’re both very innocent about a lot of things despite being so cold.
They both used to constantly load up on meds because they couldn't sleep (and for other reasons too).
They’re both canonically the most beautiful characters in their respective novels.
And they both started to get better after falling in love with the protagonist.
I also hate Richard in general too, but reading him in Suite was SO satisfying, it’s a shame most of the fandom won’t give the novel a chance just because they hate him.
Seriously, I’ll always believe the theories that Christopher is on the spectrum.
The one where Ilay tried to convince Taeui to fvck him, but Taeui didn't want to because it would be weird to fvck someone who has the same face as him.
This novel is great for those who want to see him suffer too XD
I haven't read the novel yet, so I don't know what to expect, but it seems like it's going to be quite toxic.
The bottom is identical to Taeui, both in appearance and personality.
While the top seems to be a mix of Ilay and Christopher 🧐
Honestly, I don't think so.
Unless the art style in Diaphonic Symphonia is REALLY ugly, it's likely that many people will start liking Richard simply because he's handsome.
This almost always happens, no matter how awful the character is, they'll always have thousands of fans if they're good-looking enough, I realized this after seeing how many fans Caesar and Cha Wookgung have 💀
Actually this scares me a little, I can already foresee people blaming Christopher to defend Richard, saying that he and Richard made a deal and therefore Richard never raped him, since he gave his "consent" beforehand 💀
Ilay, Richard, and Xinlu are all millionaires who were raised with a lot of love overall, so none of them can blame their past for their actions.
They are bad people and that's it, which I much prefer to the excuse of "I became a grapist because my past was hard"
