Fun with sketching with green ink at one of the best cafes in town. Forgot all my pencils at home which made me sad but luckily they could lend one.
Had the last part in mind for a while. I can totally see Héctor absolutely losing his freakin’ mind over Miguel starting to grow into romance (after having gotten of his disgust with kisses on TV lol) since he’s such a romantic himself
Were all the songs in Ernesto’s movies also stolen from Héctor? I mean, Miguel thinks that he wrote all his own songs (pretty sure he stated that at one point but please correct me if I’m wrong), so it sounds like they were?
If that is true, I would like to offer the idea that both the song snippets in “Much Needed Advice” are about/inspired by his feelings for Imelda.
A feeling so close/you could reach out and touch it/I never knew I could/want something so much/but it’s true…
Please imagine an absolutely hopelessly lovesick Héctor singing about Imelda, being frustrated that he can’t figure her out, consoling himself with this song.
Only a song/only a song/has the power to change a heart
And I dunno maybe one of Héctor’s songs finally got through to her (the previous one? Un poco loco?) And she softened towards him, and he’s marvelling at how much a little song has managed to open her up and oh my God, he thought he was in love before but he is so in love now he can barely stand himself.
“…[all the] kids in the orphanage, every year, travel with Papá Héctor across the bridge. It’s one of the favorite times of the officers who check ID- to see their former scapegoat corralling the mass of children while Imelda scolds and fixes newly sewn blouses and starched shirts and tells them to be on their best behavior while Héctor signs them all out.” – @humanityinahandbag
@humanityinahandbag and I pitched in to create a Héctor Tour Guide AU in which tour guide Héctor takes extra special care of all the children who pass over into the land of the dead. After Ernesto-the-trash-monster is out of the picture, the Riveras turn the palace mansion into a home for all the dead children who don’t have families to care for them.
[Also there’s a couple easter eggs in this illustration if you can find them. 🙂 ]
Hector : It’s dark in here.
Imelda :
Hector : I am not scared of anything. I am a tough guy.
Imelda :
Hector :
Imelda : Do you want me to hold your hand?
Hector : Finally! I thought I was going to have to ask you.
