Time to throw my cathartic 2 cents into this well of shit, because why not.
Kadath has been on a downward spiral ever since he broke up with Necrodrone. There, thats my theory.
Just look at all his art while he was still together with her, or shortly after they broke up: More details, more shading, more lighting, more everything. Hell, anatomy was better too if you ask me, I find the figures and poses of his earlier art more appealing than what he draws now. They bounced off each other artistically, it felt like.
It must not have been a pretty breakup either, again, these two posted pics of their engagement on the fucking Furaffinity. And about a year or so later they give no two shits about each other, Necro hooks up with that Mercy guy, while Kaddy jumped over like 1-2 partners (Ashadan the horse furry and...some other guy I forgot) before he arrived at his current squeeze Kaylii (who seems like a decent person tbh). I also remember him breaking up with his "art student" of sorts, guy named Blackdahliafox, and again, seemed to have been a pretty bad breakup. I sense a pattern.
I vividly remember being on one of Necro's streams, talking about how I got 2 commissions off Kad, and after I responded to someone else's question on how much they cost, she literally quipped in with "I mean, personally, I would never pay that much for artwork quality like that." Yeowch. For a woman that normally tries be super nice and supportive (unless in Dominatrix personality) that moment stuck out like a sore thumb, and again, on a public stream. I mean, we don't know any deets on why these people broke up, so anything would be just speculation tbh.
But I do think that Nightshade is some weird roundabout way of Kaddy arting out his internalized issues of breaking up with Necrodrone, I do. The Dominatrix part, openly being polyamorous/working as a sex worker, the whole "why do I get hot over abuse" kinda deal. He can't get over the relationship and breakup he had with her, and is now fetishizing his own conflicted thoughts about it by his self-insert beta male Pat being dominated by this assertive, brusque, slutty woman, who openly fucks with other, more attractive/successful men despite being in a relationship with Patrick. Part of Kaddy's mind depicts her like a completely unlikeable person, but because he then feels shame or guilt over something he reverts to being protective over Nightshade when others critisize her.
