Cuphead: A Brotherly Pact, Pg 3 by RaltheCommentator on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Pep talk of the century, folks! (The century of the 1930's anyways, lol)

I thought I'd go a different route than what typically happens in these kind of comfort scenes. I was originally gonna have Mugman make a big speech about how he wants Cuphead to promise that he'll never give up on himself. However, I thought it'd be more meaningful if Cuphead took notice of a crucial element that's often overlooked in situations like this. Giving up after coming so far in a conflict would mean all the effort the protagonist and their friends did for each other was meaningless; not just in terms of the narrative, but in everything they've done and said to help one another. To rebuke it now would be taking all the love and support Cuphead gets from his brother, and just shoving it back in his face, and knowing how much Cup loves him, that's the last thing he wants Mugman to feel. He has to keep fighting, not only for their souls, but for each other as brothers.

Hope you guys enjoyed this short, but sweet, story! I've got more plans Cuphead fan art and stories in the near future, so hope to see you then! Thanks for reading!
