To me, Machete kind of has the energy of a secondary villain/coldhearted side character in someone else's story that a lot of fans latch onto, moreso than the protagonist. Question is, would he be the villain in anyone's story?
Why, thank you! I'm actually glad to hear he gives off that vibe. I don't think he set out to become a villain but a lot of people certainly view him as one.
#in the 16th century canon he starts out as an introverted but sincerely well meaning guy that never quite manages to find his social niche#he was a sensitive kid and when subjected to enough pressure#his insecurity fearfulness and powerlessness mutate into distrust resentment aggression suffocating repression and self-restraint#I don't think he's a bad person in fact he consistently tries very hard to do the right thing#do his job properly avoid letting people down and get through life with a sense of dignity#but he is supposed to come across kind of cold impersonable and difficult to be around if you don't know him personally (and very few do)#people can sense there's something wrong with him and are put off by it#Vatican is a nest of vipers and as the stakes rise he retreats deeper into his coldblooded untouchable work persona#he has no choice but to start lying scheming blackmailing and eliminating his enemies#in order to maintain his position keep Vasco safe their relationship under wraps and his own head above water#essentially playing by the same rules everyone else in the holy see has been playing with for centuries#eventually he loses his spot as the secretary of state and is manipulated/forced to take on a role in the roman inquisition#and if people were sort of iffy about him before being the authority overseeing trials torture excommunications and executions doesn't help#and since he has so few allies and such an infamous reputation he's an easy target for scapegoating whenever necessary#towards the end it dawns on him that he's become the kind of twisted cruel corrupt person he used to fear and despise#and the guilt moral injury and abject self-loathing had largely sapped him of his will to live by the time the final assassin gets him#answered#anonymous#Machete#Vaschete lore#he thought his dream of priesthood would make him a better person more worthy of admiration safety and love but he climbed too high#and got roped up in the dangerous games that take place under god's nose and slowly got strangled to death

i feel like i entered the misha collins tag and saw the aftermath of war. there is blood in the streets, i can still hear war cries in the distance, the spoils of battle were hard won but the masses are rejoicing; our lord and saviour has stood with us once again.

Ugh, enough emotions.
My sweet goof bag of a husband planned a family camping trip over the nearest thing I have to a religious event (the Futurama season premiere), so since we live in the Pacific Northwest (aka Bigfoot Territory), I figured the only reasonable thing to do was to recreate Leela’s camping outfit from Spanish Fry and try to get some out of focus, grainy footage of that gentle Sasquatch / make sure my husband leaves the woods holding onto his lower horn [it’s used to it - WOOOOO].

there's something about the fact that odin chose to remain in exile in the years between the dark world and ragnarok that tickles my brain, because it means loki's reign, not particular wise or righteous as it was, had his tacit approval. I mean, there must have been a moment after he'd broken from the good old senility spell where Odin panicked and thought he needed to go back to asguard ASAP and thwart Loki's no doubt nefarious plans, but then he had to have looked into it and realized Loki was just playing house and being all in all a rather harmless if ineffective king, and surprisingly un-tyrannical to boot, and that the rest of the Nine Realms had Thor helping out anyway.
I imagine his reaction was a resounding "huh."

i dunno if it's just me but,, he looks like he's about to angry-cry??
not sobbing, not breaking down, just silent tears as his anger and helplessness rage inside him.

"We need a plan," said Nijel.
"We could try running again," said Rincewind.
"That doesn't solve anything!"
"Solves most things," said Rincewind.
"How far do we have to go to be safe?" said Conina.
Rincewind risked a look around the wall.
"Interesting philosophical question," he said. "I've been a long way, and I've never been safe."
Terry Pratchett, Sourcery

yet another reprise of the same post i’ve made dozens and dozens of times before but GEEZ! i am so incredibly lucky to be doing what i’m doing! to think i spend hours and hours and days and weeks and months and years and hopefully DECADES pouring over animation history, lauding the masters and studying their work so intently and absorbing it and feeling and identifying with it, and the fact that i get to walk the same turf they did. that i get to be a part of this business that they established. that i get to carry the torch and that, some day, no matter how small or insignificant, my own work and contributions will be regarded as “animation history” because i work in animation and all history is history. i just can’t believe that i’m privileged enough to indulge in some of the same practices that The Greats did, that i get to study their work and, if i’m so lucky, channel and make homages to it where possible.
this isn’t to say “i’m just like Tex Avery because i work in animation TOO!!!!”, but, rather, an expression of my sheer GRATITUDE and amazement that i get to do what i do at all. i’ve met so many nice people. blossomed so much as an artist and cartoonist. get inspired each day by the talent i am constantly surrounded by. and to think that i get to be a part of it!!!!! that i get to carry the torch! i know this sounds so conceited and pompous and i really don’t mean it that way at all because i don’t WANT to be known as someone who people are only interested in because i work in cartoons. i just wanna be known for me! what “me” is i guess is for you to decide! but, regardless, i’m just feeling extra thankful tonight that i’m able to indulge in my passions and SPREAD my passions and have said passions fostered. that i’m lucky enough to tread the same ground as some of the greatest creatives that gave me this ground to tread on. there will never be enough words to properly articulate just how deeply and passionately my gratitude extends.
