"I was wondering when you would call." [x]
[from that thing my friend wrote set after the plot of the book. At this point, they haven't spoken in a few years. They're not even in the same country anymore.]
Alright, finally. Here's Michel Belmont, Mr. Backstabbing, Two-Faced Asshole himself. Do you know how annoyed with another task (trying to learn Blender) I had to be to FINALLY get over my mental block of making Tristan's father? It's been over a year since I put him on the list to make.
My friend, who created them, was trying to encourage me by being like, "it'll be so easy, he's basically Tristan's twin." and like, girl, idk how to tell you how that's worse, actually. Tristan has notoriously always given me trouble, because I have too high of a standard for how he's supposed to look, so you're telling me I now have to do the normal level of Tristan difficult, but multiplied, because now I have see what he's going to look like older?
I can already hear her now, "well! that's why I tried to kill him off but sooomebody wouldn't let me." yeah yeah. I ended up trying to not make them a strict 1:1 copy because my heart couldn't take it loool. He's going to need some tweaking I'm sure, but I'm more or less on board with this look (it's hard for me to really judge, because I'm not sure if I'm judging him independently or subconsciously comparing him to Tristan and that's what's making it feel off.)
