their first DM sets the tone for their relationship:
after a lot of begging, Umbral finally offers to do a little giving... by using his crowdsourced transition fund. as he repeatedly insists, it's no big deal because cyber begging to raise money is
so easy!
here's Umbral's still pinned tweet. "Nothing in my life will matter more" - see, it's easy to crowdfund when you lie! note: while he claims above to have raised $12k, his fundraiser is at $6k out of $14k. he must be doing many separate fundraisers, building himself quite a slush fund.
here's a closer look at that mug. another one for the Picrew vs real life files.
anyway, he keeps begging Venus to take his money, Venus keeps sidling around it, Umbral turns to Lilly and continues his "e-begging is making money from home!" pitch.
a few pages of this, then Umbral cuts to what really matters:
eventually Venus says "fuck it", cuts ties to the weirdo. he loses his shit:
he tries to send some mutuals to bargain with her, they end up turning against Umbral when they get the full story, everyone decides Umbral is a clout-chasing weirdo and starts cutting off ties. Umbral is invited to a server with Venus and Lilly, which leads him to share his version of the story, where they pushed him to suicide. mostly funny because of how much Slime person doesn't care at all.

at this point there's a pages of boring back and forth where Umbral tries to make amends with Venus and blames delusional paranoia and anxiety for the "you drove me to suicide" stuff. it's all really boring, but fortunately Umbral was still maintaining the victim act to other people:
Malice starts fronting more, yelling at his friends for not loving Umbral enough. he appears to be using some kind of Discord bot to speak as Malice without it showing up as his account, which is a quite impressive commitment to the bit.
there are other people in the server but again they don't seem to care much, even making sex jokes about Malice.
so, with increasingly diminishing returns from the evil twin act, Umbral jumped into the ultimate act of clout-chasing: fake death. which didn't work because hours later, Venus and Lilly put together the document to clear their names, and nearly everyone seemed to side with them completely.
