i've been drawing so much mephone lately! which is funny, considering how i used to barely draw him at all!!
#melonposting#part of it is the he-created-the-contestants reveal#and part of it is that said reveal made me realize how fascinating his relationship with steve cobs is#pleasing him. defying him. cycles of abuse thought to be broken only to be inadvertently perpetuated. helplessness. hope#the fact that at the end of all of this (so far) cobs leads him back like he's a kid who ran away for a few days. 'let's go home.'#the humiliating isolation of being alone with the father who undermined and twisted his dreams - dreams which have crumbled#as if he was right. that he really is just a stupid kid#and now his dad leads him by the hand back 'home'. it's all over... it was just a dream... (in both senses...)#in any event i find mephone and cobs utterly fascinating. it's all so horrible and sad and interesting to me
