i know there's 0 correlation because the people who only like young silco would not have been drawing old man yaoi but damn i almost wish we never saw young silco we've been robbed of more older silco art

working on doing a little zine out of that 'my oc as symbolism' meme for valdes, using a mix of collage writing and illustration... got stuck between 'i want to share this' and 'i want people to experience it as a whole piece so you can have a very awkwardly cropped page out of context. this one is for 'oc as an object'

do you guys wanna hear about probably valdes's most perverse trait. infodump under the readmore

A trait of his i've never really mentioned here is his thing with good luck charms. As part of his fixation on luck (and general baffling life choices), he's not really flush with money despite helping rig casinos for a living because he prefers playing for other people's belongings. Most of the appeal of gambling to him is the social aspect of it... he's a big peoplewatcher and it's very appealing to him to meet people and to watch them up close in that sort of environment.

A lot of his characterization is based in the (apparently real?) gambling strategy of just being very... weird and annoying at the table, both so people can't read you and to get under the other players' skin. not to mention i imagine that working for the casino means he can't actually get those big payouts from winning... so a lot of the time to throw people off and to not cut into his own paycheck he'll ask for a personal belonging instead.

And of course he knows he'll win, because he's being paid to card count and cheat, so he knows he'll get whatever strange thing he asks for. actual good luck charms, or the person's wedding ring, or a picture out of their wallet, or anything random out of their pockets as a little memento of getting to play with somebody and watch them lose. it's. he doesn't have a fetish for gambling but there is kind of a voyeuristic angle to it.

it's why his ref sheet mentions he wears mismatched jewelry :) because he's wearing his little trophies from cheating people. freaky magpie ass

(I wrote all of this and the actual point of the piece really is more about his self image. lol. well I hope i can share the full project soon)
