okay, yeah... PLEASE, let me explain 'why' these two littles sketches:

i received a request for more héctor x imelda drawings, AND i just wanted to picture how sex could 'work' in The Land Of The Dead, like… do they have sex? and can they enjoy it?
attraction and affection exist clearly in TLOTD, so physical expression of such feelings sound plausible. but what about pleasure?

i remembered some details: like, at the end of the llorona ‘duet’ between imelda & ernesto, she steps hardly with her heel on ernesto's foot to make him release her, and he looks in pain. he screams and jumps, letting her go and is clearly not pleased. so, even if the pain is small (i mean they can take their skulls off their bodies when they want), pain can feel ‘real’ on occasion in TLOTD. and if pain exists, then its opposite probably exists too: pleasure.

second details: when miguel and his dead-family are in the office of the employee explaining at the beginning why the young boy is here and how to break the curse, the employee sneezes twice because of Dante, despite not having nose or not having lungs. so? physical reactions/sensations are possible even if not having the organs for them… maybe it works with memories idk? (that’s why i imagine that intercourses probably work better with someone you already had sex with while alive)

my conclusion: they can have sex and most likely, can enjoy it

~~i rest my case
