Welp

want some ideas for how to draw or write jewish characters doing something warm, fuzzy, cute, and holiday themed, without anything christmas-y?

- character(s) playing dreidel: laughing, pointing fingers, menorah in the background, donuts on the table, music playing, coins clinking on the table, everyone staring in concentration as the dreidel spins, someone is attempting sabotage, pausing for latkes, shaking the table to get it to fall on someone else’s turn

- eating chocolate coins (called gelt): they’re melting too fast and getting all over their hands or mouths, milk chocolate vs dark chocolate, trading coins of different types and sizes, if it’s ship art then one can be teasing the other about it, kissing the chocolate at the edge of the other’s mouth

- making/eating latkes: standing over a hot stove together, sizzling oil, hugs from behind while one character makes them, fighting over the spatula for who gets to flip them, flipping one too high, biting into a latke together, peeling potatoes, juggling potatoes

- lighting the menorah: holding the shamash together while lighting it, hugs from behind while looking at the menorah, saying the brachah aloud, singing maoz tzur, playing instruments, just sitting next to the candles and watching them burn, silhouettes in front of the menorah, holding hands

- opening presents: standing next to the menorah or sitting on the floor in front of it, laughing, ripping paper, excitement, things flying in the air, can be emotional meaningful gifts or funny humorous ones

Volume/headphone warning.

Wanted to try and pay homage to perhaps the best tweet in existence. Any and all credit goes to Patricia Lockwood for the original post and picture. And, of course, to darling, affronted Miette.

Rough animation of Rocky, Freckle and Ivy for the Lackadaisy animated short film by Sagan Yee, who has been doing some really incredible work.

Incorporating multiple characters like this, in motion, in perspective, with a lot of character acting and lip syncing is a pretty complex undertaking. It took a lot of planning (notes below by Sagan and Fable)!

me, with no hesitation on pressing yes:

Confidantes

Summary: Markus and Hannah became fast allies after climbing out the junkyard together, and they bond as dear friends as they work together to free their kind from servitude.

Chapter 1: Leap of Faith

HEY guess what i finished instead surprise surprise. this’ll be in smaller snippets bc i STILL need to finish the damn au this branches from, but nonetheless i hope to show this friendship going to max level

josh: none of us know how to fight

hannah, immediately: i do!! i crave violence

A/N: just some quick headcanons to warm me up to posting writing stuff :) I’m hoping to start taking requests soon, so if you have any send ‘em my way and I’ll take a look at them!

connor as a boyfriend is definitely very caring and attentive

like he’s very sweet to anyone he likes, but once you guys get together he’s constantly looking out for you like

“please, take my jacket”

“It’s like 80 degrees outside babe”

“just in case. you get cold fairly easily you know”

at times it can be a little overwhelming but you know he just loves you and isn’t always sure how to show you

despite always being a little stiff, he loves when you touch him

running your hands through his hair, rubbing his back, sitting in his lap, cuddling him on the couch

the boi is touch starved ™

whenever you give him one of your larger hoodies or pajamas to wear when he hangs out, he always returns them to you the next morning, washed and folded

movie dates at your place are his favorite, there’s so many he hasn’t seen

he loves getting smooches from you

he can’t feel it in the same way you can (he can register pressure and touch, but it isn’t pleasurable in the way it is for humans) but he loves being close to you, and loves how happy and content they make you

the same applies to other, more nsfw stuff

usually you instigate, but when he desires you it’s more on a mental level

he wants to hold you close and spend time with you & he wants to see you happy and enjoying yourself

he likes talking about his day, and the new things he’s learned

he likes listening to you vent and get your frustrations out of your system, making sure to show you he’s listening by being overdramatic 

“– and I mean the light was red, I don’t know why they were honking at me, they inched so close to my car they were up my a** crack–”

“what were they expecting you to do??”

“I don’T even KNOW!” both of you breaking out laughing

lots of smiley joking around and flirting

lots of walks at night

you love watching him do interrogations, you hardly ever get to see him so serious and aggressive  ( ͡º ͜ʖ ͡º)
