Imagine for a moment that reincarnation is real... and now imagine senior, gray muzzle Vasco rescuing a sickly albino horse who seems very frightened and uncomfortable with the concept of being a horse. Vasco is too old and frail to ride anymore, as you've mentioned in the past if i remember correctly, but he takes this horse in.

No one at the stable can even make eye contact with this pale steed without its ears pinning back and its eyes threatening to bulge out of its head. However, Vasco visits every day he is physically able to, so he can gently comb its mane and tail and handfeed it oats and hay, since it refuses to eat otherwise.

Vasco doesn't give the horse a name, but in a voice soft enough for the two of them to hear, he calls it various old pet names only he should know. He swears the horse's eyes light up at his words despite not fully believing the possibility.

Regardless, they comfort each other.

#hwhhhaugh #you can't just whip up a sad elderly horse girl Vasco scenarios and make me read them with my own two eyes #probably the last of many horses he's had #hhhwh #'various old pet names only he should know' #answered #majima420 #I don't know much about horses but I think I've read that horses are never truly albinistic? or that there are no comfirmed cases of them? #horse people do you know whether that's true? or am I just not misunderstanding the whole thing #but if it's a sufficiently white/pink horse to bear a resemblance does it matter in story context #'uncomfortable with the concept of being a horse' hehe #Vaschete scenarios

Is Lauri, if I read that correctly, Vasco's sister? I think she's been mentioned before in the Modern AU Tag Lore (i think it was something like maybe Vasco's sister marries someone Finnish, hence Machete having cute Finnish socks), and I'm curious about her! Is she as bright and sweet as Vasco?

I love your work and characters so greatly, btw <3

Lauri is the Finnish husband actually! The twin sisters are named Benedetta and Giovanna.

Benedetta, the older sister, is a professional orchestral musician. She plays cello, and her husband Lauri (a west siberian laika cross from eastern Finland) plays trombone, they met at a classical music festival. She's creative, sensible, rational and shy, but may seem a bit conceited and pretentious. She and Lauri live somewhere in the southern coast of Finland with their three children.

I haven't decided what Giovanna does for a living. I think she might do or used to do dressage. She's independent, highly competitive, resourceful and very reliable, but her brutal honestly can come across as hurtful and catty. She's a lone wolf compared to her siblings and has never expressed an interest for starting a family. She travels a lot.

The twins of course share a close bond with each other and as a result Vasco was often left as a third wheel or excluded completely when they were younger. They used to pick on him a bit, in a typical older sibling way. Nowadays Benedetta lives abroad and Giovanna is busy with her own pursuits, so Vasco doesn't see them very often, but they get along fine.

Lauri is calm, friendly and down to earth. He doesn't speak Italian and the rest (apart from Benedetta who is making good progress) don't speak Finnish so they mostly communicate in English. He's easy to like, Vasco in particular enjoys having a brother-in-law, after growing up with girls.

Machete is having trouble finding a common wavelength with Giovanna. He doesn't get her sense of humor and finds her needlessly rude, and she seems to enjoy pushing his buttons. But he immediately took a liking to Benedetta, their personalities and interests overlap a lot (that's how he ended up with those socks).

just wanted to say i've been following your art on & off for years (in the way that i am online on & off, and especially on art sites on & off, lol) and i feel like machete has been an artistic cornerstone in my brain forever. im not sure when you created him, but it feels like his imagery and spirit have been in your art for the decade or so that i've loved it. i barely post my own anymore, but you are still a huge inspiration <3

Aw dang, thank you so much! I'm honored!

Machete predates my entire online presence actually, I first started posting my work on deviantart in late 2010 and Machete was already several years old at that point (my best guess is he's from 2007 or 2008 but it's hard to say for sure). He's been around since the beginning, he's one of my oldest surviving OCs and I've been drawing him at least semi-regularly throughout the years. I didn't mean to make him a mascot for my art but that's essentially what he is.

#I find it extremely funny and charming that he's managed to infiltrate other people's brains as well #as an oc creator what more could you even want #he's been living in my head for what feels like forever and when your characters occupy your mind for such a long while #they get their designated permanent residences #“this is where I keep the remnants of my rudimentary swedish here's the history trivia section and that's the enclosure for my priest dog” #majima420 #answered

red dead redemption... 2! rats

9/10 brown rat

10/10 black rat

brown rat boasting the thickest, most chunky whiskers known to man. rattus rattus at its peak!!! holdable. scoopable. large and in charge. actively eating through your satchel right this very moment. can (and do!) have distinct coats! one of the few things that can distinguish rats within the same genus
