It’s one of these comics, keeping yall on your toes with your weekly angst,

THIS is actually a comic draft I made a good while ago that I’ve only now decided to actually finishing in full. Michael’s whole story makes me sniffle and sob if I think about it too hard, so lemme just lay my thoughts out on him for a second.

Michael as a character, has always felt so defined by his regret, but determination to make up for it. I think what really gets to me, is he’s also just a victim of his father. His childhood was as stolen, and without William to care and grieve over his siblings, that landed on his shoulders. He alone had to miss them, and what drives him to do what he does through the whole series. In the end even, he chooses to burn with his family too, for the same reasons I think as Henry does it. Just to get rid of these bad memories forever.

This comic just based off that feeling, of not knowing what you had until it’s gone, the Afton kids stolen lives, to demonstrate in visuals just what Michael may of felt.

Nobody could make me hate you Michael Afton 🙏🏾 I ACTUALLY had a lot of fun drawing this, despite it also ruining my poor weak heart. I especially like the photo of the Afton siblings, it’s not to think of a time they were happy together. It’s been a bit since I’ve last drawn a serious emotional type of comic, but it’s always nice to take a stab at it now and again, so I hope you like this comic! Even if it’s sorta angsty! 🩵💜
