#mtcpt jock

I can't believe the series has ended :') I will miss those two old tax collectors forever and ever GRAAA

I'll definitely not reread the series again to reminisce

@geezerflakes (pssst, hi)

Here's a silly dead animation trend that I finally got to finish recently lol!

"I'll try posting art once a week," he says after not posting for nearly 2 weeks.

Anyway, MTCPT art dump!!! :D

I was thinking back to the first chapter in Sanders apartment when despite already eating, chooses to go out with Jock. So, it got me thinking: Sanders enjoys Jock's company a lot (I mean I'd hope so considering he loves the guy) and when he's home alone he'd feel, lonely? like he'd just kinda feel isolated in a way, if you get what I mean? So, I imagine a bit later after they started dating Jock would come around or sleep at his every now and again so, in the mornings when they're sitting at the counter Sanders would just,,, stare. He'd just feel really nice and enjoy his company. Idk I just like thinking about sappy scenarios between characters. I probably didn't need to ramble this much but yk how I am. I love over-explaining my art.

The 9 or so years gap between the original comic and the current version Jock learned to do his tie at some point right? So, I thought Sanders would just get sick of Jock struggling all the time so he just eventually taught him how.

WHICH LOSER DESPERATELY NEEDS A HUG DUE TO DEEP-SEATED TRUST ISSUES? THE MIDDLE-AGED QUEER MAN, THAT'S RIGHT!

Finally just some random sketches of the silly tax men :D

Buckle up guys we're in for a world of angst, I had a feeling this race would be some sort of test of their relationship

LIKE LOOK AT SANDERS

Alright, it's analysis time:

I think Sanders is terrified of losing Jock, now there's something on the line, there's someone he could lose. I mean his worldview was kinda shattered, he thought everything would be smooth sailing once they started dating but now is being shown otherwise. Ironically enough Jock seems to be the one least worried about it, considering the guys got some major trust issues. Jock already knows that relationships aren't easy, he'd be more prepared for the rockiness that comes with things like this. Sanders on the other hand is STRESSING. (obviously, Jock has his own worries but focusing on Sanders for now)

I believe this race is gonna test their relationship. They've been going on about how they're "out of sync", I think it'll teach them to work on their communication with one another. Which they've already gotten better at, just a few pages before Sanders opened up about not understanding and being a little disappointed that when they started dating they didn't become some invincible force or things would magically change. Although this is an improvement, you can see he's still repressing his feelings, he's keeping quiet. For what reason? I'm not sure, maybe he doesn't want to burden Jock or something?

Something as simple as "Try not to break up before you get there" is enough to send Sanders spiralling, and I don't think he's gonna tell Jock this, at least for a while. Sanders has an issue with putting his feelings into words and even when he can, he represses them. He keeps bottling them up. I think during this race all that emotion will build up and eventually explode.
