once again the americans have done somethn incredibly based after a series of massive world shattering blunders, and killed off an apostle of the arch enemy. reminder btw while we're going on this trend of CEOs going under that no corporation is your friend and for decades has been looking to screw you without consent and squeeze every last drop of potentially profit out of your bloodstream directly with an unsterilized needle.

Happy 5/14!!!!

Aaaaahh not sure if this is my best work 😭 I just really wanted to draw smth for vettonso day but my brain hasn't really been functioning well LOL so I kept dreading working on this, especially bcs its so important to me, y'know? I hope it's good????? I'm happy with the concept, but I was just so unsure on so many of the angles and it was killing me. I did the color thing bcs I thought it'd add something interesting to it :) since I didn't paint it as I usually would

Anyways! Process!

Now I will explain all of them:

Boy king au is where it all starts of course. I think their relationship is the most developed in this compared to the others, but at the same point, they just start from such a different point, especially affection-wise. All of these kinda have a power dynamic, except the last one, and this is the most imbalanced. Fernando is being subservient, the only part of Seb he may kiss(in public lol) is his hand.

Matador au next. They hurt themselves when they try to be affectionate, because they live in the culture of a sport of violence and death. The sword separates them, their love for the sport keeps them apart, in fear that they hurt each other. Seb, yet again, looks down upon Fernando. Seb haunts Fernando's whole career, the constant overhanging presence. Also aside from that, shame that you can't see his three musketeers look bcs of the black background 😔

2012 core!!! I think this one is pretty easy to understand. Both of them often kiss their trophies, more so than any driver. So they're both trying to claim the wdc trophy by kissing it. Maybe you guys should just get rid of the trophy altogether and claim each other! But yes, just like the sword in the matador au one, the trophy and their ambitions divides, keeps them from ever bridging the vast gap between them, at least at that point in time.

The conclusion! Aka what I wish we will get at Imola 2024- kidding kidding. But it is 2024. Finally there is no conflict between them, there's no big thing keeping them in conflict, they can finally come together. Finally they can touch, there is no gap to bridge, they can appreciate each other, and appreciate what they failed to in years past.

The thesis is basically that they always have their aspirations between them, and their aspirations happen to be basically the same thing. Until those are resolved, the gap between them is too vast for them to recognize and/or find any commonality. How do you get along with someone when you're both fighting for the same thing? How do you get along when it feels like one of you is winning more? How do you get along when there's such a vast gap?

In boy king au, it's going to take a while before they both feel settled about the issue of the throne. That's what makes that au interesting, they're trapped in this state of non-closure and they have to actually solve their issues without the matter of one of them simply removing themselves from the equation. They have to find a way to get over themselves and their aspirations, because like it or not they're stuck with each other. I think with the hand kissing, it represents how Fernando, at that point, is only willing to play along with the game if it's tradition, and he often won't budge in other ways. Yes, I will show subservience, but only in this detached, formal way that I don't connect personally to. He's still holding his own bitterness over meaningfully appreciating Seb. Though it's not like Seb isn't at fault. It takes a while for him to not hold things over Fernando, and constantly humiliate him. One day they will meaningfully show affection, and it won't be some sort of power play.

I think matador au is pretty similar to real life, and the 2010s era(it's basically just their actual plot line but in the context of bullfighting.) They're forever going to have this big elephant in the room, and it only really gets resolved when one of them leaves the sport. Once they're not fighting directly against each other, they realize what they've been missing out on and what they were not appreciating for so many years beforehand. They finally come together because they can't just rely anymore on the sport keeping them together. They actually have to make that step to be in each other's lives, rather than just taking their presence for granted.

Also the text on the comic. "We keep missing, and missing, and missing, and finally kissing." It's basically: we keep missing the point of it all, we keep failing to appreciate each other presence in our lives and in our own individual grand stories. But when we're not forced together anymore, we have to make the choice to come together again ourselves. We keep missing what we actually need to do. Missing each other in favor of our aspirations. Etc etc. One day we will finally embrace and there will be nothing keeping us apart.

spontaneously woke up at around 4 am to be met by a display of shimmering lights. i live pretty deep in the suburbs so i wasn't really able to see the colors, but im glad it's visible on my pics. :)

it was actually overcast for most of the night so im crazy glad the sky cleared up just in time to see the aurora.

there is a story trying to form in my head that sounds like a perfect plot for one of those yaois you read once and never find again, which sucks because I am so bad at drawing comics bigger than one silly page

I have a headcanon where once Buck is more settled into his bisexuality, he would definitely be the type to sport some sort of bi pride jewelry at work and just in general.

Bonus points if it's gifted to him by Eddie or Chris.

actually im gonna use this ask just to solidify declarationpaper lore: papyrus is incredibly ancient and was born/died during ancient egyptian times and the only reason he's still around is because he wasn't mummified so he wasn't accepted by the gods. he was also therefore around and heard about it when jesus came back from the dead. he remembers it making "big news" but isn't aware that there's a religion about him on account of the fact he cannot, for the life of him, remember the name of jesus when it happened

like,

[christianity is explained to him] WHAT A TEAM PLAYER THAT JESUS IS. HE'S VERY BRAVE, HE REALLY THOUGHT HE'D DIE - I WONDER IF HE CAN TRAIN ME TO BE LIKE THAT WHEN HE COMES BACK?

BUT, [he puts hands on hips, sighs] YOU KNOW, THAT REMINDS ME OF WAY, WAY BACK SOMETHING REALLY SIMILAR HAPPENED. IT WAS LONG AGO, IT'S LITTLE SPOTTY, BUT THE LUCKY GUY CAME BACK AFTER JUST 3 DAYS, AND THE MATTER WAS JUST EVERYWHERE FOR WHAT FELT LIKE FOREVER, YOU COULDN'T ESCAPE IT!!! A BOOK WAS MADE, LOTS OF FANART WAS MADE, PEOPLE WERE PRAISING THE GUY IN THE STREETS - GOSH! HOW ENVIOUS I WAS BACK THEN! I WASN'T THERE WHERE CROSSES WAS MOSTLY USED BUT I SUPPOSE THE METHOD IS JUST BAD AT KILLING PEOPLE, WHICH - GOOD! KILLING PEOPLE IS INEFFECTIVE POLITICS ANYHOW. GOOD THING OUR KING QUIT IT!

I'm looking at 2009 vettonso pics with cofi rn and they're so AUGHHHHH 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Seriously like, calm before the storm, they don't know what's going to happen in the following seasons, they're quite cute with each other, etc. Actually their dynamic in these is similar to what they were like in the later years but the difference of "not knowing what's gonna happen yet" vs. "they've been through so much together and have both come out on the other side."

I mean I'm so vettonso-brained rn, as you know, so take this with a grain of salt, but for me it's like, Fernando looking at Seb like "hmmm who is this rookie, he reminds me of myself when I was in his position"

STOP BEING SO SOFT, YOU'RE GOING TO KILL ME 😭😭😭
