#i really love this comic this is one of my favorites

[blueestardust]

[togglesbloggle]

I've got to say, it's a very strange feeling, becoming the sort of person that is in the exact target audience for Buttercup Festival.

Like, this thing has been running for decades, since 2000 if you believe wikipedia, and it got around without ever being really discussed explicitly by people I know. The strips always drifted past me every now and then without incident- neither offensive nor inoffensive, a bit puzzling at times.

And then... something? Something in me, not in the strip, that much is clear enough. But now I just love these little things to death, on a good day it's competitive with Calvin and Hobbes or something else really top-tier.

And it's just bizarre, you know? They certainly don't rely on what you'd traditionally call humor, and even when there's a belly laugh it's not because there was anything like a joke per se. But if I try to explain to people what it is that makes the strip work, I just come up with all these ridiculous sentences that may or may not mean anything.

So I went from not getting the strips at all, and just walking past them without registering their presence, to really enjoying them and considering them one of my favorite comics ever, without once passing through a moment in time where I understood what made them so poignant. Just bouncing between two very different kinds of ignorance.

And that's interesting in itself, no? One kind of wants to reason through one's aesthetic preferences. I know I do. I suppose, on the grounds that I want to reason through everything. But my experience with Buttercup Festival seems determined to resist that treatment, at least so far.

Jokes as an art form are rather interesting- they get a laugh out of us before we know why they're funny, and discussions about humor tend to be unsatisfying after the fact. Explaining a joke doesn't make it any funnier, and the experience of 'funny' itself can't really be explained. Most forms of art, you can develop a deeper appreciation of the form by breaking it down in to specific shapes and methods and styles, and find new layers of beauty as you explore the structure of it. But it seems like laughter doesn't follow the same path, exactly.

Jokes aren't necessarily the only thing with this kind of structure. The koan, also, is supposed to open something to the student without any intervening explanation or analytical framework. Like a good joke, a koan often don't seem to make any damn sense at all, and like a good joke, a koan is often quite short. So that's two examples.

So there's this tricky thing where there's a class of experiences that seems to resist explanation, and we mostly encounter it through humor, but it's not actually limited to humor per se. I don't think I have the slightest idea where the contours of that thing are, or how to explore it, even though it's quite beautiful.

I don't think it's meaningless either, even though it sort of challenges the usual ways we define that term. I don't know how deep it goes, though it's much deeper than I expected. And you can grow in it over time, either because of certain experiences or certain insights or... I don't know. It wasn't signposted. I just kinda woke up here one day.

I love the way you write the Bishop's as family. It's extremely messy and raw and so different from the interpretations I've seen. It's genuinely a breath of fresh air. That said, I feel like we've gotten a sense of how most of the Bishops have adapted (or not adapted) to their injuries following the Schism, but what about Heket? She's doing her best to lead and hold things together, but she got hit pretty hard herself didn't she?

AHHH THIS IS MY FAVORITE THING TO HEAR!!! THANK YOU, I live for the bishops' tragic sibling dynamic!! I've done comics my whole life but never got a chance to write for siblings despite how important my own little sister is to me, so this game being my hyperfixation is a breath of fresh air for me as well

I actually have an oldddd comic about heket dealing with her post-schism injuries! The full one will probably never get posted/completed for several reasons, but it was basically like "heket had chronic pain even before the schism, and was so used to working while in pain that when she was cut in half, she just kept working until she desperately needed medical intervention. Kallamar finds a bunch of other stuff wrong with her that nobody knew about" and then this scene happens:

Even if it might end up not being this comic, I really want to make something that touches on how traumatic it is to live with something that's actively trying to kill you from the inside out (even for someone as tough as heket). And also how differently everybody sees you when they find out about it. I have a lot to say about this kind of thing and I feel like this topic gets slept on even if the bishops are inseparable from their disabilities in-game, so I intend to remedy that when I'm able to :')

[forgettable-au]

hallo!!! i've been trying to find new undertale comics to read and i still haven't found any (that i haven't already read) that come even close to yours in how interesting they are...;w;

do you have any comics that you like reading? thank you!

OHHH SURE !! I can rec some comics!

Okay!!! SO!!

I'm gonna mention A LOT SO...here's a read more...

Handplates is still very good, a classic! It's finished!

Unexpected Guest is also super great! Great characterization <33 big inspo! Still going!

I also recommend checking some of the stuff by linssins, I love their work...so, Play Back Tale! So many people know the AU but haven't read the comic?? So! Check it out if you haven't!

That comic is the one that made me discover the Papyrus is Gaster theory <3! CHANGED THE COURSE OF MY LIFE NOW I'M CRAZY ABOUT PAPYRUS IS GASTER

Another linssins comic! I Know That I Know Nothing! PLEASE CHECK THIS ONE OUT, IT'S NOT FINISHED AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT EVER WILL BE FINISHED BUT

And it was sooo good, I was SO heartbroken seeing that it was never finished,, so after months of going crazy I made my own Papyrus is Gaster AU hehe

For anyone interested in different takes of Papyrus was Gaster, there's also this comic: Ask The Science Squad, it's also not finished, but it IS Papyrus was Gaster!! A VERY different take from mine, and that's super fun!

Going back to more comics I like!!!!

I LOOOVE Skelechara! Such a cute comic, and it's Chara and Papyrus focused! My favorite characters!!! Idk if it was finished?

I also really like Swapout! Underswap and Undertale crossover comic! I really like that concept!

I love Growth Spurt! Great characterization! I love how this comic handles Asriel, I don't like it when AU's/comics make him little small innocent Asriel again... idk it feels like it erases flowey... In this comic Asriel deals with some of that stuff and retains some of that Flowey attitude lol but he's getting better!!

I started reading Gaster's Return the other day? This one JUST STARTED but I like it so far! If you want to check that one out :0

Some other very popular utdr comics rn:

Twin Runes

Doctor Megalo

Gaster's Great Escape

Fandom Wrapped (Reader Edition) 2024!

Thanks to the wonderful @kattyelf for creating this template! Links and detailed reviews under the cut.

Disclaimer: I probably read hundreds of SxF fics in the past year, and it was not easy to choose which ones to put in the list above (or below)! This fandom is full of wonderful, friendly creators and I am so glad to be part of it. I also had to narrow it down to only the ones I read and reread in 2024, not 2022 or 2023. Finally...I also happened to read many good fics only once. Sometimes a fic is just too painful or sad to reread, especially if it's not finished.

Favorite fic and author: After peace by @unhappy-sometimes!

I could gush about unso for a whole post and not be done, but I will try to contain myself. Her fic After peace originated from an AU comic she drew where Twilight was forced to retire early due a major injury, and drifted aimlessly until WISE asked him to take care of an orphan they had rescued from Project Apple. There are several things that amazed me about this fic and cemented it in first place for 2024:

The premise. It was original and so full of potential.

How personal Twilight's journey felt to me. I didn't have a life-threatening injury, but I did put my career on hiatus in the past year and have often struggled with questions of -- what am I worth when I'm not "doing" anything? I was so used to going 150% in the rat race and coming out on top at great personal cost to health and family; even if all that was bad, how else can I get that sense of accomplishment? How can I stop wanting that sense of accomplishment?

Her style, which is both vivid AND concise. The fic was around 22K words if I remember correctly, with a well-constructed plot, character arcs, plenty of emotional beats, and a satisfying resolution. I often wonder if my writing is too verbose and when I see something like After peace, it challenges me to do better.

THIS WAS UNSO'S FIRST FIC EVER. THE HELL. It's like a freshman album that gets put up for a Grammy.

Fic(s) I reread (plus runners-up):

That Time Yor Seriously Thought About Leaving by peonydee: This is a WIP with one more chapter before completion, I believe. Peonydee's style is unique in how it's hard-hitting and disarming at the same time. Yor and Twilight find themselves in impossible situations, their relationship tested to the limit (and one of them in a close brush with death), yet there's still an undercurrent of wry humor, almost fatalistic due to the fact both of them have been steeped in death and dirty work for decades, yet still hopeful and reaching for each other. I also cackle every time she makes Twilight go off on a mansplaining tangent without ever using the term outright. A masterpiece of show not tell.

Is It Really All Right? by zyzy1083: This one is tender. A jealous!Loid fic with a fascinating portrayal of Loid from Yor's perspective. The imagery of a dark sea choking down any true thought or emotion from breaking for air will stay with me for a long time. There's also the fact she basically made up lyrics for an indie song as part of the plot and I had to ask whether it was a real song. Finally, there's the fact she was bold enough to portray Loid as less than a perfect, kind, smiley husband toward Yor, but in a believable way. He snaps at Yor at times. He loses his patience. It feels like a real relationship, in the awkward tension when one partner wants to talk and the other absolutely does not want to talk. I admire that courage and wish more authors would take that risk (calling myself out I guess!).

Green-eyed Monster by bigbruja: another jealous!Loid fic that's lighthearted and fun. This is a comfort reread. I enjoy seeing Loid recognize the threat of a supposed "old friend" of Yor's, questioning his own feelings and how far he needs to go to fend this guy off. The guy is a Garden assassin, unbeknownst to him. I also love Yor's own inner struggle of just wanting everyone to get along, but showing steel when she needs to.

dalliance by rosetintednerdglasses: this is a WIP, but it is HILARIOUS and I hope everyone will go encourage this author to pick this fic back up when they have a chance. TLDR, Twilight (in disguise) is sent on a joint mission with Thorn Princess and flips out internally when he sees it's Yor. Handler then orders him to ensure Thorn Princess continues to cooperate. So as Twilight, he has to sort-of honey trap Thorn Princess, while as Loid he has to keep Yor happy. Poor Yor believes she's torn between two different men and close to cheating on Loid! Situational hilarity all over the place, and fun world-building, like this other WISE agent randomly named "Steel Bunny" (LOL).

Not According to Plan by @kyrathel: love you girl! This is a gift fic for me, but that's not the reason I reread it (even though it's a WIP as well!). It's SO FUNNY. Twilight gets it in his overly anxious head that he MUST defend his wife from the bullies at City Hall, so what does he do? HE INFILTRATES CITY HALL AS A NEW FEMALE HIRE. The world absolutely needs more petty!Twilight! The latest chapter features laxative brownies. Enough said.

Let's start living dangerously by @beannoss: I specifically reread the later parts when dumb Twilight gets over his dumbness and finally talks to Yor! And they kiss again! I love the way huhwaku (beannoss) portrays overthinking Twilight AND overthinking Yor. And also, the simplicity of Yor at the same time. The voice she uses for both of them is refreshing, it really puts you in the mindset of the character. Yor's giggles ("teehee!") as she teases Twilight about his little perfectionist habits are a cute touch to a gentle, heartwarming fic about these two highly competent professionals just starting to take baby steps in how to be competent at a relationship.

Fic that made me emotional:

100% Perfect by @sometimesiship. Where do I begin? How about with the gut aversion I initially had to the premise of a futuristic AI dating bot AU, due to all the tragic, dark AI movies I have watched? But as it neared completion, someone convinced me to give it a try and I AM SO GLAD I DID. You can see my gushing comments in almost every chapter. The development of the relationship between human Yor and AI Loid is so natural, funny at times, poignant always, and beautifully written, even though from an objective standpoint not much exciting stuff happens (I mean canon-typical excitement like murders and spy missions). Sometimesiship has a way of describing emotion that is so raw -- she can portray the same emotion a dozen different ways with analogies and setups and dialogue and whatever -- and it still doesn't feel old. And the emotion that dominated the second half of the story was grief. Basically the grief of loving someone you know you're going to lose. Like being the spouse of a terminal cancer patient. I didn't cry while reading, but it was a closer call than I have had in a VERY long time. So much beauty and humanity in this story. And spoiler (?), it's a happy ending. So I hope you all go check it out!

That's a wrap! If you read this far, stay tuned for a Writer version of Fandom Wrapped 2024!

Roundup-Catch up: August 2024!!

Let's catch up! Looking back at my list of August reads my head spins a bit. Most of this year I got way too eager picking up series from my shelf or the library and was juggling maybe 5 series at once. Which did a huge disservice to the reading experience for some of those series as I wasn't giving them my full attention. It wasn't until August I managed to wrap up most of them and enter the more focused way of following or reading through a series that I had previously. But in the frenzy I still had some great reads.

I had always heard whispers of No Longer Heroine by Momoko Koda but I'd never crossed paths with it. But when the english run of My Love Mix-up ended I had a huge contemporary High School Romance shaped hole in my heart and this is one of the titles that's filled it (I will get to the rest). I love mess, I love stories of teenagers learning to navigate the minefield that is human relationships so I can be the opposite of nostalgic for a time that, praise be, I will never have to relive. But I also read titles like this wondering how a constructive conversation around it could be had among young readers who from my experience can come off very frustrated and unsympathetic to the type of drama it depicts where the heroine and hero's feelings and decisions are extremely irrational and reckless. I really like the Yen Press, but as a license acquisition it feels kinda random? And in my honest opinion if you're 10 years late to a title you kinda have to make it an omnibus or collectors edition because waiting for individual volumes for, again, an over 10 year old series is pretty frustrating. But I will stick around to the end.

Yumiko Ōshima's Sava series was one of my favorites of 2022. The way she captures me with stories where honestly "nothing" really "happens" just floored me and made me optimistic for Goo Goo Datte Neko de Aru. A diary comic that begins with the passing of the cat Sava and her purchase of the cat Goo Goo (Short for Good Good). But Goo Goo isn't the only cat that enters her life. In rather rapid succession stray kittens begin entering her life. We follow for over a decade her journey rescuing, rehoming, and caretaking of countless stray cats (the latter to the dismay of her neighbours). Reading it today it highlights the challenges of clashing attitudes over stray cats and how these populations should be taken care of if at all. Famously it is also a chronicle of her cancer survival journey but its a rather short part of the whole but nonetheless maintains the Ōshima charm.

I want to make a gift recommendation for the upcoming holiday season: Your Letter by Hyeon A Cho. While I've had some really really good encounters with Korean Manhwa, Webtoons is still a world unknown to me. I think the Ize Press initiative bringing Webtoons to print in english is extremely cool, but the lineup just hasn't had any titles that caught my eye. Until Your Letter. A 10 chapter single volume story that I liked so much for its artistic presentation and the story it was telling about bullying and finding your place in a new environment that I immediately was overcome with the need to pass it along, which I did. Really think it would make a great gift for anyone 5th grade and up who are interested in comics. OR it can be read for free in its entirety on Webtoon!

Satou Gashi no Ie by Kyoko Fumizuki was a title picked up a bit at random. I'd gotten a taste of her work in the Suki Desu, Kono Shoujo Manga anthology and was one of the more memorable entries in an already extremely well curated collection. Satou Gashi no Ie is a 5 story one-shot collection with to meeee back to back hits. The titular story centres on a teenage boy named Richard who suddenly appears at his childhood's friend Elsie's school with a baby in his arms, that he claims to be his, and that he's a widower. But there are too many holes in his story. Who exactly is the baby's mother and how did he come to care for her at the end of her life? And how does this change Richard and Elsie's relationship? There's a warmth to Fumizuki's artistry in this era and the way that she hits all the story beats that really drew me in and augh I honestly have no words for it. This collection really stood out and among her peers I've yet to read anyone who could compose manga exactly like this. And you know what's cool? You can (In Japanese) read this and a handful of her other work from the same era for FREE on Manga Library Z!! (JP only) NOTE: crazy enough, on this very day (Nov 26) Manga Library Z suspended services but diligent users of nyaa have made sure that the works available there live on

Hey there! First off, I'm gonna say that I love your AU and some of your designs (Peacock! Marinette for example, it's so original after seeing the same "Elegant party clothes with blue skin" a lot of times), and secondly, it's gonna give me some inspiration to my MLB AU!

Now with the quesitons:

1) Lila it's going to have a redemption arc? Just wanna be prepared if we have another "Scarlet Lady Case" (a lot of fans triggering beacuse Chloe it's not redeem).

2) How are the sentimonsters gonna work? Like canon or with some changes?

And 3) Have you gonna have a favorite chapter to adapt to your au? And if it's the case, you will have a hated chapter that you are gonna rewritte at some point?

Sorry for this amount of text, but then again, thanks!

Thank you so much!!! Peacock!Marinette has to be one of my favorite designs I’ve done too- I’m glad so many of you guys seem to like it too!

1. Just getting it out of the way now- I am not planning on redeeming Lila (she will have a character arc, just not a redemption arc). That’s saved for a different character. Lila will be her regular delightful self for the duration of the comic, lol

2. As for how sentimonsters work in my au- It’s a surprise :) I have some expansions on cannon I want to explore (I’m excited!)

3. I’m really excited for Kagami- I love her character so much!! I don’t have a hated character necessarily, but I will say that a few of them are being difficult to write (Zoe, Luka, and Gabriel particularly)

[findingyourrootscomic]

something I appreciate about FYR that I haven't seen mentioned (tho maybe it has been lol) is that most PMD and PMD-adjacent comics I see include the isekai element from those games, and while I get that, it's not my favorite thing. I love the idea of a PMD inspired world that's not focused on that, and if I can ever find the time and motivation, I'd love to write my own story or comic in a similar way at some point. I've even considered translating a nuzlocke of a traditional Pokémon game much like you've done here! perhaps a randomized one?

anyway, keep doing what you do. I've been reading all your comics for a while (and TWE) and while they do cover some uncomfortable topics at times, I think it's important for these kinds of stories to be told and it's good to see more diverse stories out there

Thank you very much! Yeah, FYR is literally the PMD story where the human never shows up so we just follow some random local minority girl instead. (This will become relevant someday.) I love writing PMD stories with or without humans, but when I first started writing them, I never included humans! Till World's End (and Solstice, its discontinued predecessor) are the first PMD stories I wrote that involved transformed humans. Now that I've tried it, it's actually a pretty fun trope. But yeah, PMD shouldn't need to require humans!

Diversity is so important in writing! We really need more of it out there so I'm just here tryna do my part. I'm a minority in many different ways, so this really is just kinda my fight haha.

[fvrtvne]

i'm not really sure why you rp isabela as avoidant to romance when she's clearly available to romance in game?

I'd have recommended coming off of anon so I could DM you about this privately, but no, you're choosing to waste my time with this ask.

Really? Really?

I need you to step back for a moment and ruminate on these questions ;

) Do you remember Dragon age 2?

) Did you just mindlessly mash through dialogue because hhrrrr pirate lady hot sexy hgghhdhghsouhhhh?

) Did you even play Dragon Age 2?

Look, I get it's hard to sit back and remember every piece of dialogue, but if you even remotely cared about Isabela as a character / actually cared enough about the game to listen to her dialogue then you'd understand that she does NOT want to be in a relationship when you first meet her.

Beyond maybe, idk, looking over her wiki, what vibes beyond finalizing your romance with her gave you the impression that she was going to throw her arms around you and run off into the sunset? Where in any of the story, even through bits of dialogue, does Isabela ever hint that she's ready to settle into a committed relationship?

Here, let me grab one of my favorite (not actually) excerpts from her wiki page; (which, btw, since we're here, google's free) ;

But Madam Hari grew disillusioned with the life of a fraud and eventually she converted to the Qun to give meaning to her life. She sold Isabela into marriage with a business associate of the Antivan Crows, Luis, when she refused to convert. While Isabela offers numerous interpretations of the bargain her mother struck when she was given away, she is noted as having told Varric Tethras once that her mother gave her away in exchange for nothing more than the promise that she would be looked after. Luis took her to Antiva City and they were married three weeks later, just shy of Isabela's nineteenth birthday.

Alright, cool, hoping you digested that, because I'm gonna go ahead and link this image that accompanies that entry.

Does this look like someone who's happy with the prospect of marriage? Does this look like someone who isn't traumatized by a decision made without her consent?

I know this bit was hidden behind comics for like maybe a month (year? idk) after it was published, but for fucks sake, it's been on something as accessible as wikipedia since (and i spent over 20 minutes scrolling) March 15th 2013.

Consider, maybe even momentarily, that Isabela perhaps doesn't want to relive that trauma, or perhaps doesn't even want to come close to feeling as trapped as she did when her mother had made a life-altering decision without a SHRED of concern for her daughters wellbeing.

Put yourself in her shoes for a moment, yeah?

She spends the next 8-10(ish) years of her life pretty much coping with this by never settling down, even in terms of location. Through her own dialogue, even being stuck in one place for too long is almost too much for her.

If that isn't enough, please, for the love of god, consider additional dialogue she provides in the game.

You know who shares a similar trauma to her? Fenris. You know who she has a healthy and casual relationship with because neither of them are looking for tied down commitment without some sincerity and legwork due to their similar feelings of helplessness? Fenris. You know what kind of blog you wouldn't send an ask like this to bc you're very clearly hung up on Isabela? Fenris.

Yeah, they fuck nasty, but even in the mission you do to even recruit her, Isabela proves time and time again (until you ofc complete her romance mission) that she's violently uninterested in a deeper connection beyond casually fucking. (In her own words; "it was just rutting".)

Sure, you can romance her and have a semblance of some kind of relationship with her, but you, as Hawke, (provided you're romancing her), spend SEVEN TO EIGHT YEARS building foundations of TRUST and COMFORT to prove to her that you're capable of not only understanding her past, but helping her through it. You're proving that YOU can stand beside her when shit goes south, and that you're not going to prevent any attempt she makes to claw toward her own self liberation.

I've been writing Isabela for close to 12 years now, and I know the ins and outs of her character better than I know half of my college coursework.

Anyhow, replay Dragon Age 2, learn to use google (it's free! as a reminder!), and maybe order yourself a size 24 loafer to match your clown-car? Idk. Hold this for me.

[alice2447sstuff]

I don't know why but I felt like sharing this.

Jsab fandom is so sweet, like of course it has its bad side and bad people are everywhere but the majority of the jsab fandom is just so cool

Comic creators, even famous ones, are almost never arrogant and are always so attentive and pay attention to fans and see fanarts.

A great example of this for me is afrothunder, they have an extremely famous AU but even so I've never seen them get arrogant and they always react to fanarts and give compliments and that's so cool. (I used they because I don't know the pronouns)

Not to mention others like Raisa, pink, delta, junt etc.

This is one of my favorite things about the community, and it's kind of hard to get judged around here because it's a bunch of weirdos together, so few judge unless it's really problematic.

Sure the fandom of a few years ago was strange but what fandom hasn't gone through that?

The aus are always creative and the narratives are the best and it's cool how everyone respects each other's ships even if they don't like them (Again with the exception of really problematic ships)

I just love this little community

I know that here on tumblr we don't usually comment much but some suggestions would be very useful and appreciated.

I've drawn Tom many times and none of them in the same way as the other one. Tom is my favorite character of all time and I love him so much. And I'm already getting stressed out because I can't draw him in a way that I like and feel comfortable with. But I'm not going to stop trying.

I love seeing Eddsworld fanarts from all of you because everyone has their own way of drawing the eddsword characters, and I'm not talking about drawing styles, I'm talking about the fact that each artist has their own character design, which I find fascinating. I've seen thousands and thousands of fanarts and I've loved absolutely all the designs, they all have their own thing and I also want to have designs that have some spark.

I always start with Tom because he's my favorite but I don't continue with the others, I always stay with Tom. And I'm sure that if I had them, I could have much more interesting Eddsworld fanarts than the ones I do.

I would also draw more Matt, Edd and Tord. And I would even try to make mini comics because I really love them. I can't wait to find my perfect designs and start posting Eddsworld stuff like crazy.

[midnight-scrivener]

OH okay one of my Favorite flicks of all time is Terry Gilliam's the Fisher King. It's set in the 80s, and is about a depressed radio shock jock (Jeff Bridges) who finds companionship in a man who believes that he is a knight of Arthur's Round Table (Robin Williams). Eventually the shock jock learns that he and the knight are reeling from the same tragedy. It's a horrible thing, and one that our radio man feels partly responsible for, so he decides to help get the knight's life back on track. It's a really lovely movie about healing from grief and finding joy in unexpected places. And it's also Very Aware of the nuances of Arthurian chivalry and codes of honor, which is fun if you're a nerd. There's a lovely balance of tough material with comic lightness, and it's probably my favorite role Williams ever played. I fully recommend it, but there is some Robin Williams nudity that I also need to make people aware of beforehand because it is uh. Surprising 😅

Also for a slightly less heavy recommendation, if you somehow haven't seen it, Pacific Rim goes incredibly hard (a love letter to humanity that is also about fighting huge aliens with big robots powered by love come ON) and there's a really strong case for both of the main characters having some sort of post-traumatic disability! It's a solid watch, and I think del Toro does a great job of weaving the characters' disabilities into the story in a way that lets them exist as setbacks without undermining the characters' abilities or heroism.

Have a really easy final project wherein I have to watch and write a short paper about a movie/limited series depicting someone with a DSM5 diagnosable disorder. The character does not explicitly have to have a disorder, just an arguable case that they do. Having trouble thinking of a movie though!!

Anyone have any ideas?

seeing all those sheep/goat vaschete asks inspired me to draw these (they got a bit more lazy as i went on but it's whatevs)

i like to imagine that machete could be a long haired goat breed which would give him his signature floof! couldn't choose which one to settle with tho ^^"
