Does anyone within the Mac Hall fandom ACTUALLY care about the ethics/'correctness'/argument of shipping characters? Its a comic based in reality, not a 1:1 recreation of macdonald hall @ bgsu in 2000-04. Despite this, i have been hesitant to step into fandom because im worried about any ship being considered rpf.

I think within M|H Vol. whatever, a decent chunk of the commentary separates writer, artist, and all people involved from their comic counterpart. Here are some chunks i found relevant... Hopefully posting this doesnt send me directly to hell. .

"Waiting for the Friend To Come", Jon Wood (me), 2025

So 1, 2, 3 Take my hand and come with me Because you look so fine And I really wanna make you mine

⚫️It is 2:42 PM on Sept 18th, 2004, at BGSU. And her date is six minutes late.

🔴 In 2004 or so, I discovered a webcomic called Mac Hall, created and drawn by Ian "@Malakym" McConville, set in BGSU. It's also when I found @chaokiller 's Sonic Battle art style tutorial.

Or you could watch this video breakdown by Art Stylist.

Both of them were really big influences on my art style. Still are, really.

So when I came up with this Y2K aesthetic girl (how do you wash a vinyl/cotton top?), I decided to throw it back. Just with more computing power and complexity than I would've been able to pull off back in th' day, on my family's cheap HP desktop.

And also, I pretended I still can't draw hands.

I can, I just don't like to.
