#when your character is old enough to drive irl there's bound to be some stagnation in their developlent

I'm so glad you're pursuing the Machete Vasco romance arc. They're so cute together, their chemistry is *chefs kiss* and it definitely adds to the tragedy of Machete's fate.

I'm delighted to hear you think so!

Their relationship has been in the backburner for at least 6 years and probably more than that so this isn't a new development, I've been just too timid to really explore it in drawn form (and then there's the fact that at some point I managed to convince myself that my oc stuff is bad and embarrassing and people don't want to hear about it but I'm trying to get over that).

#anonymous #answered #it has been very fun to draw them together #most of my characters are connected to each other so they form these interlocking stories but Machete has nearly always been alone #with no one else to interact with #so getting to figure out how he'd handle close relationships and romantic feelings has really expanded his personality and range #it's very exciting #when your character is old enough to drive irl there's bound to be some stagnation in their developlent #these past months have gotten him out of a rut for sure #and it's very reassuring to see that many people who have been liking him for a long while haven't been put off by these new directions
