I was going down memory lane and the urge to draw these freaks again, came. Not fully satisfied with how they look but I personally think it’s a massive improvement from how I used to draw them
The more I think about Patton as a character the more he fascinates me. He’s Thomas’s inner dad and inner child. His joy and his sadness. His self love and his catholic guilt. His pathos and ethos. He’s more supportive than anyone else and yet everyone follows his lead. He’s a goofy goober. He’s a top (???). He hates spiders and loves the spider-coded character. He’s literally a paradox I love him so much
I’d like to address a big thing when it comes to logicality (and TSS ships in general) portrayed in fanfics. It’s always “Emotionless nerd meets sweet innocent baby and sparks happen”. And while that’s true to some point, it always feels one-sided. I’m not saying you can’t do it, I’m just saying, to me it’s kind of annoying. Because sure, Logan may be a bit behind in understanding emotions, but he does feel them, like anger in WTIT, in the Christmas episode “What makes a perfect gift?” Curiosity and intrigue. Just like Patton may seem sweet and innocent, but he does understand complicated concepts that an adult would indulge in, because him and Thomas share the same memories, just doesn’t want people to do them. So, when you get down to it, those fanfics always seem wrong. Like the fandom (they do this with Virgil and Roman too,) takes characters, with some in-depth lore, and only focuses on that one part, scrapping the rest. So when you make a ship out of it, it feels wrong. Because it’s always just Patton being happy, and “What’s (insert dirty topic here?)” And Logan being like: “Hm, what is this feeling? I suppose it is unnatural.”
