Dunno if that's an expression used in english, actually! but in spanish we use it for when someone begins to do things they're not supposed to do until much later in life!
In this case, drinking and smoking from an early teen age is not really recommendable, although we all know it's something most of us have probably done, and we're normal adults now (haha sure, see the comsequences instead! x3)
Here this is part of my story as well, when Salmy met Blue, who is heavily based on (well, shamelessly copypasted from) my best friend
He is actually a bit like that with me IRL, making me drink and forcing me to smoke just because he does! but to be honest I kinda do the same thing to him whenever I want to, so it's all good xD
Also wanted to have a picture with him for so long! And I know he loved it too ^^
This began as a colored sketch I got for being thatwildmary 's patron, but being with whom it was and after seeing the initial sketch, I just had to ask her to improve it, so I upgraded it to a full piece and man, isn't it great! That's why I included the whole process' pictures in this submission.
Mary has a slot open in her patreon for the $30 / mo patron, so if you like her style, go grab it because you're not going to regret it!!
