Yes, I’ve drawn them together multiple times, I always tell people I can always get behind a ship if it’s well-written and built up enough. Pete and Gary have a lot of meat there, fluff and angst wise, you could write or draw things about so it’s easy to see why people like the pairing so much.
I think the only issue I have with the ship is that many in the fandom woobify Pete and make Gary to be this comically evil toxic supervillain character. They’re both teenage boys in the game who have both said and done messed up things. That’s why I specify *if* it’s written well.
bully ships r like. smopkins is fine but funnier if it’s one sided on garys end. kowalsmith sucks but it’s entertaining to see how people justify how gary treats petey. jimmy x petey is also fine but better post canon imo. jimmy x gord is my favorite of everything theyre fucking awesome but mainly because i think gord is the funniest character ever
Update on the ship name for Gary and Pete: A wonderful friend of mine came up with Kowalsmith! I'm kicking myself for not thinking of it myself! So yes, I love it so much I'm gonna use it for all of my Kowalsmith artwork from now on!
