So regarding the fake names, and how it could be bittersweet for machete to have to give up his real name for the sake of anonymity and safety, I had this funny little thought that the entire church genuinely forgot his name from calling him machete for so long. So when they hear about his death, or hear his real name they just go “who?” In response. If he was ostracized as long as he was I doubt any of the enemies he had actually bothered to learn his real name, kind of another massively ironic twist of fate where the very thing that they could use to find him and they never actually bothered to consider it.
And now the question (if that’s okay, I know a suggestion for way to explain why he still is named what he is can be a little rude) Where would they go? Would they head north to where Germany or France currently sits? South/East towards the balkans? Even further north to the anglo-saxons island? I imagine they would need to find a place where the Catholic Church can’t find them easily.
I don't know how plausible it would be for people to completely forget his proper name, but I can't deny liking the idea of him being able to shed the Machete persona and attempting to revert back to his kinder and more sensible self. From the time before his work filed his personality into a set of sharp edges.
Truthfully, I'm not entirely sure, I haven't thought that far. Trying to settle in a protestant country would be distressing, since Machete dedicated so much of his life to counter-reformation causes.

Tragedy of Spring, a re-imagination of the myth of Hades and Persephone
Gouache on hot press watercolour paper, ~14,8 x 21 cm
A little personal victory, even though I could probably do better in digital... (the understated pleasure of being able to hold your work on your hands though! 😊)

I honestly get the feeling that each character in Playboyy is living in a different genre: Prom lives in a cheesy romcom that has some spice, Nont is in a detective thriller, Zouey and Teena in a coming of age drama, Captain and Keen in a smutty high school flick ala American Pie, First and Soong in a psychological thriller, Porche and Jump in a romantic drama that has the "runaway" trope, Aob and Puen in a "he's a hitman, but falls in love and becomes soft" kind of action movie, Jason is the final boss in a gangster movie, Tutor has the investigative reporter snoops around and finds out genre, and Nuth and Phop are in an autobiography slice of life type of thingy. And the amazing thing is, when it all comes together it somehow still makes sense o.O

I'm not gonna critictize franchises I have no connection to but the whole concept of "the Greek Gods, the beacon of Western Civilization, moved to the United States, which is now the new Olympus" is firing up every single rant-writing neuron in my brain.

I love how many of the tragedies in Greek myths are just because people forgot shit. I meant to change the sails but I forgot. I forgot that he said we both had to be outside the underworld. My bad.
People have always been people and what people are is forgetful
