Sketchyandirregular - Sketchy And The Brainrot

actually me fr

I do this with neighborhood cats. I would do this with Terrible Terrors.

Hiccup: *hiding something in his coat* I think we should adopt another kid!

Astrid: No

Hiccup: Why not?

Astrid: Because when you say “kid”, you mean “small dragon”, and we already have fifteen of those

Hiccup: *unzips coat* Sixteen

Yea.

Not to preach anarchy/wanton rebellion, but like Big Bird in that one meme, we riot at dawn.

because sometimes there are invisible tests and invisible rules and you're just supposed to ... know the rule. someone you thought of as a friend asks you for book recommendations, so you give her a list of like 30 books, each with a brief blurb and why you like it. later, you find out she screenshotted the list and send it out to a group chat with the note: what an absolute freak can you believe this. you saw the responses: emojis where people are rolling over laughing. too much and obsessive and actually kind of creepy in the comments. you thought you'd been doing the right thing. she'd asked, right? an invisible rule: this is what happens when you get too excited.

you aren't supposed to laugh at your own jokes, so you don't, but then you're too serious. you're not supposed to be too loud, but then people say you're too quiet. you aren't supposed to get passionate about things, but then you're shy, boring. you aren't supposed to talk too much, but then people are mad when you're not good at replying.

you fold yourself into a prettier paper crane. since you never know what is "selfish" and what is "charity," you give yourself over, fully. you'd rather be empty and over-generous - you'd rather eat your own boundaries than have even one person believe that you're mean. since you don't know what the thing is that will make them hate you, you simply scrub yourself clean of any form of roughness. if you are perfect and smiling and funny, they can love you. if you are always there for them and never admit what's happening and never mention your past and never make them uncomfortable - you can make up for it. you can earn it.

don't fuck up. they're all testing you, always. they're tolerating you. whatever secret club happened, over a summer somewhere - during some activity you didn't get to attend - everyone else just... figured it out. like they got some kind of award or examination that allowed them to know how-to-be-normal. how to fit. and for the rest of your life, you've been playing catch-up. you've been trying to prove that - haha! you get it! that the joke they're telling, the people they are, the manual they got- yeah, you've totally read it.

if you can just divide yourself in two - the lovable one, and the one that is you - you can do this. you can walk the line. they can laugh and accept you. if you are always-balanced, never burdensome, a delight to have in class, champagne and glittering and never gawky or florescent or god-forbid cringe: you can get away with it.

you stare at your therapist, whom you can make jokes with, and who laughs at your jokes, because you are so fucking good at people-pleasing. you smile at her, and she asks you how you're doing, and you automatically say i'm good, thanks, how are you? while the answer swims somewhere in your little lizard brain:

how long have you been doing this now? mastering the art of your body and mind like you're piloting a puppet. has it worked? what do you mean that all you feel is... just exhausted. pick yourself up, the tightrope has no net. after all, you're cheating, somehow, but nobody seems to know you actually flunked the test. it's working!

aren't you happy yet?

dinosaur in a lab coat - would you trust her with operating the centrifuge

I got nothing to say

There are two creatures inside me. I don’t know what they are, but I have a feeling they’re both doing some kind of art with the expertise of a monkey on a typewriter. Mostly because I smell the charred odor of braincells frying like eggs.

Wonderful Leader 💩

Hello again!

Here is my drawing for today's Sept-Ingo prompt: EXCITED!

Ingo isn't the only one who's feeling starry-eyed here. I'm so excited about the responses I've received in reblogs and comments! I felt a little shy about posting my art at first, but the responses of kind people have really encouraged me! Thank you!!

(And thanks for letting me know about the looser timeframe with submissions, @monthofingo. It's nice not to feel too pressured!)

~~

Although Ingo doesn't smile as big as Emmet, I'm sure one can easily tell how he's feeling via his eyes (and the volume of his voice!)

More comments under the cut

I feel like Ingo looks different every time I draw him haha. This is good practice -- perhaps at the end of this I'll have a clear style for him (so far, I've been trying to look at their Masters models, along with artists I admire! This one is especially based on his Masters model...and a bit of Sailor Moon with the shiny eyes lol, specifically this GIF:)

*cue anime WOW! sfx*

Somehow, I got his second head bigger than intended than the first -- but that's okay! It brings greater focus to his big ol eyes.

In my dreams, this would be a cute little animation loop where his expression changes as the "excitement bar" goes up and down . Maybe one day, I can actually bring this to life! Potentially, I might be able to mess with it in AE...Hmm... 😏

non binary gosalyn supremacy i say

[edit] just adding the og screencap since some of you might not get the joke :]

Weird bar

Its barkeeper drops bottles

Emmet‘s bar is designed to look like an old timey luxury train bar. After I was done with this I had the idea to have the bar not be a big square room but, like a train, be long an narrow, with the bar at the front and seats on the back. Maybe with a wall painting scenery that looks like you‘re looking out a train window.
