I can’t stop imagining that Machete is briefly brought up in Dog 21st Century high school history class, and one student hyperfixates on him being gay with Vasco: historians and their Sapphos.
That would be awfully cute ;_;
But I don't know how likely it would be that either of them left any significant marks on history books, and if there were mentions of them somewhere, would there be enough documentation about their personal lives for people to connect the dots between them. They were, after all, extremely careful about keeping their relationship secret.
Vasco commissioned a few posthumous portraits of Machete after his death, those might've survived to modern day. If historians were able to trace their origin all the way to back to Vasco it could potentially back up theories about there having been something going on between the two.
They maintained active correspondence for over a decade, but written records are easily forgotten, lost and destroyed. It's fun to think about the possibility of a huge stack of some 400 year old deeply personal letters sitting abandoned somewhere, waiting to be rediscovered.
But if I wanted to go for the tragic route, I could also say that when Machete was starting to come apart at the seams and he was sure his enemies had caught him and he was moments away from the end, he burned all of Vasco's love letters in a fit of paranoia and paniced dread, hoping it would save Vasco from being exposed and incriminated with him. Then it turned out to be a false alarm. I don't think he'd ever recover from destroying something so irreplaceable with his own hands, it was like he had murdered Vasco himself. But I don't know if I have the heart to do that to them, to me it's so sad it borders on off-putting. But it would be tragic.

Guys I need your help. I can't find it. The one where someone on Twitter was ranting about how they're sick of all these microinfluencers thinking they're a big deal because of their popularity in a tiny circle of enthusiasts that no one else really cares about but they attached a screenshot of someone on Tumblr's post about soup. So the Tumblr person posted a screenshot of the Twitter thread making fun of it (it was just a random post they're not some sort of soupfluencer) and at some point someone joked about a soup convention and the whole ridiculous scenario seriously escaped containment?

I think you should know Harmony's fish is just Jerry to me now. I had a moment a while ago where I randomly remembered oh yeah he has no canon name, I actually forgot because I've just been calling him Jerry in my head for so long. I'm still gonna call him Jerry though that's just him to me now
Reading this ask made me re-read my own writing and this came about in an intrusive thought. this is your fault
