I love the idea of Machete healing some unresolved stuff about himself because he realizes the things he resented about himself when he was younger are traits that Ear has but because he loves Ear it helps him to realize those traits aren't inherently unlovable. Do you think Machete or Vasco would be helicopter parents?

#yes I absolutely agree #parenthood would be something that could prompt him to re-evaluate and process his self-image in a constructive way #it's common and ordinary thing for people to experience but it also enables tremendous character growth #and I like the idea of someone like him #who doesn't come across as family oriented person and doesn't see himself as fit to raise a child #subverting expectations and doing really solid job as a parent #also in the original setting his personal life is kind of devoid of living things if that makes sense #he has his books and papers and collections of commissioned art but he doesn't cultivate anything that grows #that's why it'd be nice if in the modern au they had something to take care of #a pet or even some cherished houseplants would be a good start if they don't want to commit to an entire Ear #answered #anonymous #they would actively try to avoid acting too much like helicopter parents but the results would vary #modern au #kid named Ear
