I just listed the characters that were all in the title sequence at one point or another.

Finishing up Mexican Gothic and I was gripped to draw some of the characters

[geekynichelle]

I've been revisiting Mexican Gothic, and have once again drawn Noemi and Francis different than I did before. Fun fact the free cemetery image I used for the background had a grave with the name Francis on it. So that was fun and not morbid. Mist free version bellow the cut.

And then Angel eventually ends up pointing out that apparently the fifth romance language is Romanian, before going off to do hero stuff.

Anyway, I just love this whole ridiculous conversation with Cordy, Doyle, and Angel... mainly Cordy and Doyle.

Edit: Cordy and Doyle start talking about this, because on TV there's this popular TV show about this vampire girl (which the plot of this book is about. People are trying to kill her in thinking she's a real vampire and AI eventually is called in to try and protect her), and Cordy and Doyle can't get over how it gets so much wrong about vampires and they think they could of course make a show much better.

Why... why would they have a character on a new show for only 9 episodes like why spend the time establishing him for 9 episodes?

And the end is so sad and I'm just like ok? He was cool I guess not quiet credits material

I can see ewan mitchell as francis doyle 👀

I’ve only just started season 1 of Angel and LOVE Doyle, my hearts going to break when he leaves

[thequeenofsastiel]

As much as I love Cordelia, I can't deny that I'm sad we didn't get to see the AU in which she doesn't come work for Angel so it's Angel who Doyle falls in love with. I'd have been happy with just one episode in which we're shown their romance. But alas.

Also, not Cordy totally saving the day during this one moment in the Angel novel "The Summoned," during this "The Three Stooges" like moment that Angel and Doyle have. LOL

This girl, Terri Miller unwittingly got involved in this murderous cult, and Doyle has befriended her and convinced her to tell him where the cult is meeting (which changes every week).

But for some reason, Angel thinks that Doyle can't handle this alone (even though this is essentially just a reconnaissance mission and nothing should go wrong--they're not planning to take anyone on in a fight or anything--as Doyle's just going to pretend he wants to join the cult), so he decides to follow Doyle and Terri (without telling them: he doesn't want to make Doyle think he doesn't believe in him) and just watch what he can see from his car.

Cordelia for some reason finds herself bothered by Angel's plan to follow Doyle--and then she herself decides to follow Angel, all the while berating herself for doing so and not just letting herself just have a quiet evening at home--but you know what? It's a good thing she did!

Because the cult people do not like Doyle at all and beat the crap out of him, and eventually throw him in an elevator. And Wolfram & Hart is there and they taze Angel and toss him in an elevator (the same one Doyle eventually is put in). So it's a good thing Cordelia was there to be able to find her guys and help them both limp back to headquarters. XD
