#irl Vaschete sightings

[canisalbus]

if your guys were Pokemon what would they be

I think the correct answer is dachsbun and furfrou:

But I'm also always strongly reminded of Vasco when I see a helioptile. (Edit: maybe Machete can be a sobble to complete the lizard duo).

Reminded me of Machete and Vasco

I mean

That's pretty close to how I pictured them as well.

This Italian greyhound(I'm pretty sure) I found on Pinterest is so machete coded. This creature is just 95% anxiety. How can one possibly possess such wet scared eyes. It looks like kid Machete was gifted a sweater by a grandma oh lord

A small list of things that remind me of machete :). First, a beaded wedding dress that looks like blood. Second, a bleeding heart dove. Third, Asian bleeding-heart flowers (little bit of a theme), fourth, the romanticism of tuberculosis, and fifth, a pomegranate husk. I have nobody to show this to so I am sending it your way

I work at a vet clinic and this is the box out surgery drapes come in. The dog reminds me of Vasco and I’m like “wow I didn’t know Vasco was a surgeon”.

But I’ve been meaning to take a picture of this and send to you for a long time I just kept forgetting to do so.

I think I found a long-lost Vasco and Machete piece? (Remark and Ysengrin dressed as monks, the tales of Renart the fox, 1289)

@canisalbus do I need to say it? 🤣

"her underbite and long neck are everything. "

the long neck she could grow into, the underbite is where the money is, she looks like she's going to start crying

While they're certainly no dogs, I saw this art and knew instantly who it looked like:

if you search for 'cremello akhal teke' they're obviously the best choice for Machete

Look how worried the blue eyes make them look

For Vasco, apparently there's a breed that comes from a mix of Arabian and Andalusian horses, (Hispano-Árabe) (pretty sure every country has their version of 'one of our horsie but with some Arabian') and they kinda seem to vary in appearance, but i've stumbled on a few that look suitably golden and round ?

I actually went looking at pictures of pale akhal-tekes earlier and got distracted for a good forty minutes or so.

It's certainly a distinct look.

A bit like if you took a regular horse and shaved, unseasoned and shrink wrapped it (and I say this with my heart full of limitless love for them).

Such a gangly, perturbed young'un.

Unfortunately, I have a food Vaschette for you:

String Cheese and Scamorza

'"Tsch, don't be silly" I thought to myself, but then

Went on a mental tangent about how much Sniff reminds me of Machete and vice versa. Ended up rewatching the whole Comet in Moominland just to look for Good Sniff Faces.

Also big fan of the pathetic creature energy he has in many of Tove Jansson's illustrations.

Infant Machete? I don't know the source of this photo, I stumbled across it in the wild.
