With his eyes barely opened, he looked at the other as she spoke after clearing her throat. Azazel exhaled before opening his eyes and darting them around the space around them, sure he wouldn't get any sleep now. Tucking a hand under his head, he pressed it against his backpack he had tucked under his head, and listened to the other, closing his eyes for a moment more before starting to push himself up. Sitting, he slouched, before bending at his waist, bringing his right hand to rub his right eye, a yawn leaving him as the request penetrated his ears. He should say 'no', he didn't know her, it would have made sense.
But as he looked up at her again, he got a slight sense of the little sloth, even if just in part. Resting his head in his right hand, he mustered up a grin, trying to rest his right elbow against his right leg, but that only made everything more uncomfortable. So, instead, he sat up straight again, leaning against the back of the bench he had come to rest on. It was a strange request. But he supposed he could entertain it, or a little while, even if his paranoid mind was lighting up with all sorts of red flags. It did that regardless, making it hard to focus on the real ones, from the ones he might be gaslighting himself with.
Regardless, Azazel took a deep breath, rubbing his hands for a moment against his thighs and then forced a grin, trying to hide how nervous he was deep down, “Sure! Why not? You're not wrong, I suppose-” Pausing, he looked around, regardless of his internal thoughts, it was still true, it was lonely in the crowd. He had known this better than he would like to admit, being alone in a crowded room, having been a place he resided often. Taking his backpack, he stood and pulled the straps over his shoulders, patting the bottom of the pack, adjusting the contents inside. Then he moved his hand quickly out in front of him, gesturing for the other to lead the way.
marisol had always loved halloween. the spookiness, the fun tricks. at westbeth, they used to have trick or treating, but musical. where you had to hum a tune in order to get candy. this wasn’t westbeth, but it was her new home. Browsing the stalls, she found a few trinkets that caught her eye, that she picked up along the way. after a while, though, she felt loneliness creeping up inside her, and she knew she couldn’t brave this alone.. coming to a bench, she noticed someone sleeping, and quietly cleared her throat. “not to interrupt your rest,” she says sheepishly, rubbing the back of her head, “but i was wondering if you wanted to hang out, together? it’s kind of lonely being out here alone, surrounded by people. i get that's kind of an oxymoron, but, hang out with me? please?" wow, way to sound desperate, solly.
Listen, so I know it isn't them, and they are different people, but this is giving me major Joe/Marisol vibes and I absolutely LOVE IT!!! (Even if I don't necessarily want Joe to end up with Marisol)
Drew @necesitotequila 's amazing ocs Silas and Diana!!!
I actually love them, its been a while since ive been this locked in in a drawing aaaaaaaa
Marisol: Why do you do this for us?
Joe | The man with no name: I knew somebody like you, once. But there was no one there to help. Now get movin'
Me, desperately: WHAT HAPPENED??? WHAT HAPPEENEEEEEEED?!?
I've always loved animal symbolism, so here's some with the Dollars Trilogy characters + a Fistful of Dollars! 😱
(I will explain each one. 🙏🏽)
The Man With No Name as a coyote because coyotes are a symbol of cunning, intelligence, and adaptability. The coyote embodies the dual nature of life and represents both positive and negative qualities. It is also depicted as a trickster figure.
I think this fits TMWNN, especially being an anti-hero with his ways of being able to get what he wants by "playing both sides" throughout the trilogy. (With the Rojos and Baxters, Douglas Mortimer and El Indio's gang, and himself, Angel Eyes at one point, and Tuco.) Which gives him the cunningness.
He is described as intelligent a lot in the trilogy, and it's very clear with how carefully he plans and, again, how to get what he wants.
Adaptability because we see him in all sorts of settings: cities, deserts, villages, etc. and none of those have seemed to bother him one bit.
A Fistful of Dollars:
The Rojos as red wolves mostly because they travel in packs and are aggressive towards other canids, which we'll get to next.
(Edit: I just remembered Rojo also means red lmfao I swear that wasn't on purpose)
The Baxters as Coywolves because they travel in small family packs and compete with other canids such as wolves (the Rojos).
Both families are portrayed as powerful rivals like red wolves and even coywolves (likely because both animals live in the East United States).
Marisol, Julio, and Jesús (I couldn't fit Julio) as cattle because cows are quiet animals that symbolize humility and simplicity.
Which I thought was kinda fitting because with the lives they had to live, it gives them their humility.
Simplicity because the family follows TMWNN's orders with fairly little resistance.
For a Few Dollars More:
Col. Douglas Mortimer as a silver fox because silver foxes represent nobility, maturity, confidence, and charm.
I think the nobility for him comes from his long journey of avenging his sister and as a character that seems to have good personal and general morals.
The maturity because of his age, experience, and behavior.
Confidence is very easy to see lol he is very sure of his abilities, especially when he first meets Juan Wild in El Paso. (Man's got balls of steel, Jesus Christ)
This may be subjective, but the charm isn't that hard to see in him lmao
El Indio and his gang are Mexican wolves. Not just because they're a gang and wolves travel in packs, but also because those packs can be really big, like El Indio's gang. Plus, Mexican wolves tend to be highly social, which could be a stretch as a connection to El Indio and his gang, but they seem to accept new recruits to their gang pretty easily lol
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly:
Angel Eyes as a Gray fox. I promise I'm not being uncreative lmao. Gray foxes, given their competition in the wild, most likely tend to be more aggressive and dominant. Gray foxes also represent cleverness and adaptability.
In Tgtbtu, Angel Eyes can definitely be a very aggressive character, and the powerful part of the meaning of dominance is also very apparent in his character.
I find Angel Eyes's history of being able to track people down and identify them as a sign of intelligence.
Like, TMWNN, Angel Eyes can also be found in different settings and adjusts to them pretty quickly, especially given his job as a hitman.
(Sorry, it felt like I was grasping at straws on this one, but I couldn't find a lot on gray foxes, I just thought it was fairly fitting.)
Tuco Ramirez as a badger because they both are known for digging lol, but on a serious note, badgers are extremely aggressive towards other animals and have grumpy attitudes, which I find very fitting for Tuco lol.
I just wanted to include him lol. The Union Captain is a jaguar because jaguars can get intoxicated anddd yeahhh lol.
