Sentinel Bingo - Secret

I originally made this piece for the phone call prompt and then decided to exchange the cube Jim was playing with for a ring box to flip the scene in a different direction. Because I know not everyone on my f-list are slashers, I've left the artwork behind the cut.

Cool. Very atmospheric and intimate.
The slash is not obvious because the bos is not an obvious ring box. Could be anything. But if you see a ring box it does add a lovely layer of emotion.

Thanks for the feedback, hon. I'm curious, what's an obvious ring box to you? I googled up ring boxes for men and this was one of their top searches. Maybe I should have used an open ring box instead.

Well for starters, I am not really familiar with *men's* ring boxes so that would be one issue. But more what I meant was it was not clear enough where slashers would see it that way and none slashers would still be able to not see it that way. But as for obvious, ring boxes I am familiar with have rounded corners so an actual square, non descript box doesn't automatically scream ring to me.

I see where you're coming from and I did ponder over that myself, in the end I figured slashers of the show would interpret it that way if they wanted to and left it at that. Maybe that was why I labelled it 'implied slash' on A03?

The box does have rounded edges but it is very subtle and it gets hidden a lot by the angle and blurred edging.

Thanks for your input/explanation!
