I am really surprised that the writers of the SMG4 series didn't make Axol a shipper on deck for SMG4 X SMG3.
From what I understand, the reason Axol was killed off was because the writers didn't know what to do with his character after The Anime Arc. While I do think the Axol X Melony arc was a good idea, I also think him being a shipper on deck for SMG4 X SMG3 could have enhanced his character and could have endeared him to audiences way more.
Think about it: He gets up to shenanigans all for the purpose of helping two people he believes are in love but are too shy to tell their feelings to each other. It'd be a hilarious sideplot for multiple episodes or even a continuous storyline happening in the background.
Audience members who were also shipping SMG4 X SMG3 could have someone to relate to among the cast and cheer on his plans.
Plus, once the Axol gets a crush on Melody subplot kicks in, SMG3 could give Axol a taste of his own medicine for those in the audience who didn't like the direction for the character.
This was indeed a very late tribute from Three Years Ago, but I couldn't help myself considering that I've cried so hard during Axol's sacrifice. I love the Web Series for what it's for, its own Surreal Humor centering around Memes while also having its very own Dark Moments, even for a Parody series of a Popular Game Franchise.
I ship Axol with Melony a lot and I still miss Axol very much, if only he wasn't corrupted by Niles himself, He and Melony would've had their own more adorable moments together.

So, I asked on a Reddit post, that I wanted to draw 6 SMG4 characters. and the top 6 comments were Tari, Melony, Axol, Mr. Puzzles, SMG3, and Saiko. although, I decided to add my own little twist to Melony and Mr. Puzzles! But I drew Mr. Puzzles before the PuzzleVision movie came out, so It might not be 100% accurate. and I noticed that the drawing might have a few mistakes, but I don't want to redo everything, so Ignore them please-
