Gallery account: @vals-canteen !! All my art and writing work free of reblogs and clutter :))
This is my attempt at a pinned post, let's see if I can remember what's important.
✨-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-✨
the basics
☄️ val/valla/vallahai
☄️ they/them *
💫 * I like to describe it as "Bugs Bunny" gender — whatever gendered terms seamlessly make the current bit funnier are how I want to be referred to while they/them is otherwise the default
☄️ aromantic/asexual
☄️ adult (Nov 12! 🦂)
☄️ high likelihood of having ADHD/autism
💫 doc said "you have every single marker but I'm just gonna put you down for a possible sleep disorder" lmao I love it here
☄️ I read the tags and comments on every reblog and in every reply 🥹 they all mean a lot to me, thank you !!
☄️ SFW*
💫 *I'll never post anything explicitly NSFW here, but I *will* likely post mildly suggestive or violent/sensitive character art that I'll do my best to tag and "read more"-ify accordingly. I don't think it'll necessarily be too bad, I'll do my best to make it very very clear if a post is a little dicey, but your mental health and online safety should be above all else so be wary! I'm also aware minors follow me or come across my blog due to some of my interests so I intend to be careful.
☄️ dni/boundaries
💫 generally pretty chill but proship, anti-LGBT, NFT shills, and AI slop begone (if I've accidentally rb'ed one of these or something, please let me know !! I'm usually pretty robust in checking but sometimes they slip through or I forget 😭😭 many such cases)
💫 please don't be weird about my art or depictions; I understand people yume and fictkin and such, but I'm just an artist on the internet and I don't want to be responsible for a stranger's mental state it can be very uncomfortable :') I have nothing against it just don't get weird about it under my posts :( !! 🫶

☄️ dms ❌
💫 very bad at responding to dms and prone to worry too much so I have them shut :( it's not personal sniffles .....
☄️ asks ✅
💫 OC questions, requests (↓), random fandom things, have at thee
☄️ requests ✅
💫 canon media characters only; I love to draw random stuff but don't wanna be pumping out OC art for free y'know ? will probably only get honored if it's from a fandom I know/am part of :))
☄️ commissions 💭
💫 ermmmm here take this discord screenshot (I take comms casually, so I may or may not accept)

posting/fan interests
I'm more of an OC person and focus primarily on my own characters and stretched interpretations of a source material's worlds, so this extends into any media I become a fan of.
☄️ OCs and OC worlds first and foremost! (🪼→ @crystaljelly is the original world host)

UUUUUEUU. UUEURU. CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF CHARACTERS WHO MAKE THE BEST OF THEIR SITUATION BY USING IT TO DO SOME WELL-NEEDED SELF DISCOVERY WHEN THEY WOULDN’T HAVE HAD SUCH AN OPPORTUNITY EVER BEFORE!!!!
as much as I wish I had the brainpower to come up with such creative ocs Dr. Med belongs to @vallahaii please please please go check them out NOW you will not regret it
I’m adopting her despite the fact that she’s like twice my age /j
THROWS THINGS AT YOU LIKE AN OVERSTIMULATED CHIMPANZEE MY LOVELY MEDHA MY DARLING KISS KISS KISS K THAT'S MY BEAUTIFUL LADYYYYYY !!!!!!
(distant sounds of a boomerang whipping back after an extended period) I said I wa s going to get you /stupid
YOU THINK I'D CRUMBLE?
YOU THINK I'D LAY DOWN AND DIE?
OH NO, NOT I!
CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF CHARACTERS WHO PERSIST AS SOMEONE AND SOMETHING NEW DESPITE IT ALL ‼️‼️
tangent I won't cut bc I deny myself nothing /goofy but the idea of twisteds being functionally different people if they were ever restored scratches my brain so bad like ah . who would everyone be . I have several different brain-wanderings as to who exactly the twisteds could be and one of them isn't too far off this kind of concept it makes me very deranged to consider /vvpos
cringe ass "this worked for Medha it'll work for others" supportive unc and petty theft auntie
guess who's going to da fuckin beach for a week (oohhggg fuck I'm sick I feel like I'm withering) (I'll be fine I just wanna be a diva about it)
(and is also feeling pretty shamelessly oc self-indulgent today despite all the wonderful fellers in my inbox sowy)
hc that goob like. quadruples in weight and sinks when he gets soaked . and while the paper toons probably at least have been made a LITTLE water resistant (especially Scraps what with all the craftwork) they REALLY do not want to go fishing for him
also notiker sketchdump in general bc I miss him sorry I'll be annoying about him always /stupid
guy who is so funny ...... toon who would outright argue with Arthur and Delilah bc he's a bit of a passionate sort, Delilah definitely had a bone to pick with Arthur about designing such an uppity individual bc he could be difficult to wrangle
Dr. Hubble belongs to my buddy katoo 😌 happy pride month /stupid — Hubble is a NASA collaboration toon meant to share Astro's floor and teach children about the space exhibits, closing that odd gap between Astro's own theme of dreams and the educational focus of his floor.
Delays in Hubble's episode airing and therefore his toon development due to the exceptionally embarrassing initial launch of his namesake (the Hubble telescope, of course) left Notiker very antsy and fixated on the episode (and toon) stuck in limbo, waiting years for the exclusive "first interview" he was promised. Once the good doctor did finally leave production hell, he ended up being late to his own museum launch due to Notiker's insistence upon pulling him aside to emulate the first interview he was written to have during Dr. Hubble's introductory episode before any human reporters could take photos or statements. Delilah was about to pull her own hair out, but Arthur assured her it was cute and that the waiting public would get a good laugh out of the startling narrative accuracy of the situation.
ik this one isn't an ask but I did wanna drag it out of the tags bc I was thinking about it and what it reminded me of (you're not safe from me in there /silly) (re: this post ! weirdly the one that has the most numbers on my whole account for some reason)
ermmm implied timecapsule oopsies /goofy
Yes actually !!! I imagine exactly that.
I used to have a clock hung above my bedroom door as a kid whose ticking sounded almost exactly like Twisted Dyle's ticking, to the point my first time playing his floor actually made me drowsy oopsies — but whenever its battery was low it would begin to slow down and keep time poorly, so I also imagine this happens to him.
If he goes too long I imagine he starts struggling to perform basic tasks due to lethargy/fatigue, even struggling to get his own bezel off to wind himself, hence that one sketch I threw in of Rodger turning his crown for him. I think it's an equal parts sad/kind of scary and yet simultaneously a very intimate concept, that he might be so reliant on the help of another if he doesn't maintain perfect operation of himself — it goes from a point of shame and personal, childish failure of responsibility, avoiding letting anybody touch him, to instead being a point of intimacy and trust that he won't be judged for needing help or left to figure it out on his own like he always was before.
Being railroad-standard is a cute gimmick and all, but it would be terrifying to be too exhausted to have the proper dexterity required to wind yourself back up. Your body is failing you and if you don't somehow manage to push through it to get past your own failsafes, put in place to keep you as productive as possible, it will collapse entirely. And who knows what will happen then?
(also UUUWUEUEGGEHHH SNIFFLES /silly I'm rly glad folks enjoy how I think of him it genuinely rly means a lot to me !!! 🥹🫶 I like to peel my favorite blorbos like onions to theorize on and inspect every layer and I know I go on exceptionally drawn-out diatribes about said peeling so I always rly appreciate whenever somebody sticks around to have a read about what silly ol' me thinks !!)
shriveled up and soggy bc certain health appointments are extremely taxing on my spirit I will be back to normal again soon (not bc I feel I have to but bc I want to dw) bc I also think I have let my hand/wrist rest appropriately
dyle things to say ..... yatta and teagan and tisha and brusha things to say ..... sprout things to say ...... I'm not looking at my drafts rn I can't be bothered I forgot what other things I have to say

so funny is this the same anon I've seen asking abt glisten/dyle on other tumblrs. are you doing the rounds like the town crier
this is WAY older than two weeks that's an old screenshot but yes actually ! right before the Easter event this year when my friend first got me to try Dandy's World with him, we stood in front of Dyle while he yapped about some of his visions to see if he could get me interested in the game, and one of the initial ideas that was floated was actually along the lines of Dyle/Glisten/Rodger polycule because Dyle and Rodger both have expressed a similar concern to Glisten about their observations of his clumsiness and confusion (and I personally like to think Glisten's note in his room is about Dyle catching on, since I don't think he'd refer to Rodger using vague terminology if they're on such good terms and Glisten trusts him — unless it's meant to be a very old note from before they were friends or before ever having met Dyle at all).
The idea of him being fussed over by two proper, measured and calm, fancy men who can see right through the façade of perfection he tries to put up was pretty cutieful, Glisten/Dyle has similar potential to Rodger/Glisten in that respect to me ! I also think they could relate to the fact neither of them want to be alone despite being in traditionally very isolated professions; Dyle's needs no introduction, but Glisten being on a pedestal due to his celebrity-type role probably means that it's very lonely up there and difficult to come down despite being surrounded by people all the time, which I think is a feeling they would both understand, especially through the lens that they both often turn down (or just skip) the prospect of spending time with others for their own reasons but still seem to appreciate being invited since it indicates they've been thought of. I got some Thoughts about Glisten for that one
Granted, I then got hooked on Dyle/Rodger like crazy and later decided to stratify the toons a little more by age, making Dyle and Rodger older and Glisten pretty young, so I became more taken by the idea of Glisten sort of being fussed over by the two of them like supportive older mentor-type figures instead, trying to give him a healthy idea of his own limits and guide him. I got no problem w/ age gap relationships (between consenting adults, obviously) either I just get seized by platonic and familial relationships like I'm being taken over by the fuckin symbiote the second there's even the vaguest of age divides bc I think they're extremely sweet and I can't resist them I loveeeee when older folks have positive relationships with and guide the young even when they're not actually bound by blood, it's very meaningful 2 me
was originally gonna draw scraps but remembered yatta is the one who has canonically meowed . beautiful . I wonder if she likes cats bc they're nimble like her
also bonus yatta from when I was showing someone the beauty of using gesture lines, thought I'd throw it in heehee. I have a Yatta dissertation I need to draw art for too after this rest period and my work stuff it's kind of funny I've not touched any mains yet just the most random motherfuckers ever like Scraps and Yatta . and Teagan I don't think the people are ready for my thoughts on Teagan I can't WAIT to get into that /goofy
SHIT FUCK UHHHHHHHH I JUST FORGOT EVERY DINOSAUR I'VE EVER KNOWN AS SOON AS YOU ASKED I'm sorry shelly anon /silly
I was a space kid rather than a fossil kid growing up so I don't have mental access to the most robust selection in there so while it's very fake fan of me bc they're literally still alive and also not dinosaurs just old, my best friend having an obsession with horseshoe crabs makes me rly partial to those little living fossils his joy is my joy (and they ARE very endearingly stupid. sea roomba)
I also just love that dinos in the stegosaur family have some shit informally called the thagomizer. what a hilariously metal name for my evil spiked club so I suppose I like them for that too bc it is funny
who do you think gets to talk about horseshoe crabs at Gardenview, Finn or Shelly ........
inches in shyly hiii so I may have just missed it but I notice you do have commission prices so if someone was interested in asking about that, where would they go,,,
this one too huuurhghhh idk if I've missed any others asking this question hopefully I haven't ok rubs my hands together
good question bc the main reason I even have comm prices is bc I felt it couldn't hurt since people have asked to throw money at me but I haven't fully ironed out a proper system yet, been considering a vgen but I do not have an access code — discord DMs tend to put my hackles up bc I thinkkkk if I'm deciphering the nonsensical firings of my grey matter correctly, I find myself feeling a little cornered/like I'm being watched when people have personal access to me like that (like knocking on my aquarium glass or something) and it kind of paralyzes me like a prey animal and makes me feel like I can't rly move or do anything, but obviously that makes it a tad difficult to discuss the possibility of commissions with folks — when I feel that sense of pressure or a watchful eye I just hide under a rock like a bug for some reason, as if someone trying to contact me is like barging into my house uninvited or something it's the most common reason I tend to abandon my social medias it has happened 7284 times at this point this is the first time I've been perceived outside of discord again in over 5 years
I think it's probably because I've had a lot of bad experiences with people both irl and online feeling entitled to my time, attention, and access to my private spaces. I don't have many enforced boundaries irl so I put up a 5 foot thick concrete wall online instead, even though I know people generally have almost exclusively good intentions
I should rly either open the dms to this tumblr (just only for those sorts of inquiries or smt) or devise some kind of queueing post where people comment and I reach out to them instead ..... I do be drawing shit for the love of the game so I don't wanna drive people away but it's a pretty tough balance between openness and my personal space/privacy bubble that has some pretty weird physics collisions /goofy
though right now since I have such a backlog of stuff going on (existing comms, 8 billion personal arts I want to finish, extended family is currently making this house a complete zoo, summer being the worst time of year for my mental health, waiting to hear back abt an internship, etc) I think I probably. shouldn't just yet ...... for my own wrist (and other) health as per the previous post I have literally been drawing nonstop for a month LAUGHS I need to chill and not overpromise myself no matter how much I want to draw things for everybody ...... my instinct is to always say yes but that's not good for me even if I do receive money for it 😰

zoinks I need to answer some of these littler ones these are all rly starting to pile up
THANK YOU !!!!! I WILL !!!!!!
I've been doing damn near nothing else but drawing every single day for like a month straight (ain't even rly been playing games or anything) purely out of rancid brainrot and my wrist is starting to rly complain this is the double-edged sword of finally figuring out a passable enough art process
so many things to draw so little time . the mind is willing but the body is weak I am itching to draw more but know I must also take breaks before I am forced to by a structural failure (it's me I'm structure) /silly
RED STRING BOARD THIS IS WHY SCRAPS ISN'T DRY — DISSERTATION GO
I think Scraps' status as an annoying twisted (a grabber) with unpopular toon gameplay makes people less inclined to believe there's much going on with her dialogue, but as Scraps truther 9000 I would strongly disagree and even argue that almost every single one of her dialogues points towards three main concepts:
1) Scraps dislikes conflict, primarily in the form of rivalry and is deeply uncomfortable with the idea that artificial rivalries and opposing concepts could drive a wedge between not just her and other toons in general, but especially between her and her little brother
2) She's constantly beaten down for just being who she is and doing what she loves to do primarily in the form of being told she's having fun or expressing herself "wrong," leading to the designated toon of inspiration becoming demotivated because all she wants to do is just have innocent fun regardless of "correctness"
3) Because of the previous two points, she denies her own identity and dislikes to attach labels to herself or take credit for things in a desperate bid to not be disliked for the things she can't control and the hobbies she's passionate about, not wanting to risk losing the positive relationships she already has
In her dialogue with Dyle, she asks him whether he prefers cats or dogs, and this serves two purposes:
1) It proves she's aware of the rivalry between cats and dogs, knowing that it's a common, polarizing "duality" type of question.
2) It's another example of her grappling with her label, as Dyle thought it would be awkward to say anything but "cat" to her since to everyone else, no matter what she says she's very obviously a cat.
While this also says something about Dyle in my own deranged mind about being caught between two popular extremes he doesn't agree with, on Scraps' side it's the first of many pieces of evidence that she knows she's a cat but isn't sure how she feels about that label.
When combined with some of her other dialogues like Pebble, Shrimpo, Finn, and Looey, she clearly has distinct stereotypical catlike mannerisms and traits such as hissing, Pebble (y'know, a dog) disliking her (and it being mutual), having a possible appetite for fish (if she wasn't just joking), a liking to yarn, and tail flicking when angry regardless of what she claims. She seems to believe that Yatta is making fun of her for being a cat just by meowing and insists that she isn't one, as though the label makes her uncomfortable just like every other time she insists she isn't a cat, even though Yatta says she loves them and makes it clear she knows full-well that Scraps is a papercraft. In a similar pattern to Vee with Rodger, she's so primed to expect certain forms of negativity or rejection that she defends against them preemptively, even when the "offending" toon actually has no such intention.
Along the same lines of expecting rejection, in dialogue with Cosmo, Scraps appears to be bracing herself for a bad reaction and trying to avoid taking credit for her folding work with the napkins, expecting to hear Cosmo complain and lambast her work for being poor or inconvenient. She doesn't initially take credit for her art in hopes that it will soften the blow or at least be less direct when she does eventually hear his apparently-inevitable complaints only to relax, cheer up, and allow herself to accept the praise once Cosmo makes it clear he's complimenting her.
And with his cousin Ginger, she similarly isn't so sure she should help out and it's only when Ginger says that it's not about being good, it's about spending time with the people you love, that Scraps start to relax and consider tagging along. Even then, she insists Sprout and Cosmo would be far more skilled/far better at producing "good art" with her as if to lower Ginger's expectations to say they might not make something good together even when Ginger doubles down in saying she'd just love to have company.
Teagan is one of her most telling positive interactions for me in that Scraps is more than happy to paint teacups for her because she knows Teagan just wants some fun variety; it's low-stakes, it's a use of this artist's talents, and Teagan clearly wants it. It's like what you'd get if you combined Cosmo's praise with Ginger's prior consent to participate — positivity all-around! Scraps loves to make her art, she's just so used to getting a negative or demeaning response that she tries to keep a low profile about it unless she knows she's in safe company that appreciates when art is simply done for the fun and whimsy of it.
Which leads into her "cornerstone" interaction with Brusha. Poor Scraps, Brusha absolutely tears her up. She bites into her with scathing "critique" (just negativity, really) that her art is childish, not real, and gets so nasty that she sooner assumes Scraps must be stupid or immature enough to actually taste-test glitter glue rather than believe she means "tasteful" in the artistic sense. To the point she has to defend herself by launching an attack against Brusha's abstract artstyle ("mine is realer than yours"). But why is that? And why would Brusha get so nasty about it? It's the first of two major jabs at Scraps for "doing it wrong."
I think Brusha is frustrated that Scraps gets joy out of her art, and beyond that, the fact she gets joy out of her written narrative in a way that Brusha herself is attempting to harshly reject. Brusha is very much the kind of artist that is fueled by pain and trauma to make her art, and one of the elitist types that think suffering is the only way to create good art — that happiness is somehow not a valid enough strong emotion, that it's weak in comparison to the "palette of negativity," a running theme with Brusha in general that I won't get into here since it deserves to be touched on in a post dedicated to her. But given that her dialogue with Shrimpo reveals she thinks any art that evokes emotion is valid, it puts her anger towards Scraps' art into perspective — it is valid by Brusha's own definition, because it makes her angry.
But Scraps can't see that! Scraps thinks Brusha legitimately hates her art for simply being juvenile and it even seems to demotivate her (according to Astro noticing she's been drawing less) when combined with how she was born disabled so her hands made it more difficult for her to draw. Her dialogue with Blot, as silly as it is, is her attempt to explore Brusha's own themes (an abstract emotional piece using lots of black and other dark colors) in search of legitimacy. It also proves Scraps willing to expand and explore, to meet Brusha on her terms, which Brusha herself isn't willing to do because of her own hangups. For being an abstract artist, Brusha is ironically very hung up on the do's and don't's of everyone's narratives and trapped in the black-and-white, leading to getting very upset with Scraps for enjoying what she was made for without putting any unnecessary labels or constraints on herself.
And she's not the only one with hangups about personal ability, identity, imposed narrative from Arthur and Delilah, and validation that cause them to lash out at Scraps, either!
Welcoming Vee to center stage, I find her two dialogues with Scraps to be more of Scraps' "cornerstone" interactions. The poor girl gets torn up for simply being lucky in the second of two primary discussions that criticize Scraps for "having fun wrong" and, unbeknownst to either of them, also disparaging her for her innate feline traits again (increased luck, since gold cats are meant to be good luck charms).
Given that Scraps was meant to be a toon of inspiration that encouraged kids to never stop trying and creating, I imagine she was on Vee's gameshow as a contrast to Brightney — to say that even if you're not book-smart like Brightney, you can have fun too, and maybe you could even win! Don't be discouraged from participating or get down on yourself for not being a big trivia buff, you still have a chance! Which is an entirely fair message to send to kids to encourage them to try new things, but it ends up grating on Vee especially in her dialogue with Flutter where she insists the gameshows weren't rigged in Scraps' favor.
Vee prides herself immensely on her intellect and clearly likes it in Brightney too, which makes sense — for the smart toons, the quiz show should be a meritocracy! If you're smart you get the answer right and if you're not you don't, end of story. And given Vee's need to prove her own worth, to prove she doesn't need any upgrades or replacements, of course she believes in that idea of a meritocracy. But this is where show messages for children clash heavily with the very real thoughts and feelings of the toons involved, leading to Vee becoming frustrated and upset that Scraps keeps succeeding in ways that are "unearned." Vee has had to fight for her own existence and relevancy every step of the way and, to her, everything just seems to fall in Scraps' lap. How upsetting.
Scraps doesn't like to think she's all that lucky because, once again, she simultaneously seeks legitimacy while also not wanting to be assigned a label that inspires conflict or pins her down and describes her in ways she might not like the implications of. In their interactions, luck and merit are mutually exclusive, so to be "lucky" is to be something Vee will never like, and thusly she avoids it at all costs. Her innate luck is just a part of her, likely sourced from some combination of feline traits and narrative convenience from A/D, but she doesn't want to pin it down like a bug to a board — not just to stay on smooth terms with everyone, but so she isn't forced to live by the constraints of a definitive label.
These reasons are all well and good, they make sense on their own in terms of conflict avoidance and wanting to just have fun and get along, but surely she could live with a few toons not being her biggest fan. Why cling to this label-rejecting idea so much, denying you're a cat and trying to make yourself as palatable as possible?
Goob.
She loves him so dearly, and him in return. In his dialogue with Vee he doesn't see the need to feud with his big sister, never taking his place on an opposing podium during Vee's gameshows and just wanting to support her from the sidelines. In many of their dialogues they seem to be deeply bonded to each other: Goob telling Brightney that Scraps is doing well, telling each other they'll be there to support and protect one another, building each other up with compliments and love. Even when they have skins together they're never in opposition or themed with any contrast, always aligned. Themed after ice cream and after flowers together, they do everything they can to deny the notion they have to butt heads with one another. If one believes the notion that Scraps may even be partially responsible for shaping Goob's overall healthy mentality (as opposed to how Squirm turned out, alone and with very little positive reinforcement) by making sure he knew her little brother was perfect the way he was (his sharp teeth, great hugs, "being a little different isn't scary," not needing to prove himself to anyone), it's no coincidence they share those same values.
If Scraps is to accept her similarities to a cat are more than a coincidence, she has to accept Goob's similarities to a dog might be more than a coincidence too. Pebble likes him and he loves Pebble back, he's goofy and furry and utterly all-loving, endearingly clumsy without a care in the world, and those little side pieces of fluff look just a little too ear-like for comfort. Sure the similarities are less overt than they are with Scraps, but the plausible deniability of it is exactly what Scraps relies on to keep herself happy. He's all she has, she needs to keep him by her side.
To accept those two things would be to accept they're meant to dislike each other. Fighting like cats and dogs, black and white, brother and sister, older and younger, a thousand contrasts meant to spark division. For as long as she denies she's a cat, she can't be in narrative opposition to her little brother, and they can keep loving each other just like they always have.
Scraps simply wants to be. She wants to be, and she wants to love, and she wants to have fun regardless of labels or what's the "right way" to do those things or the fact that she's disabled — she doesn't want a rivalry between brother and sister, cat and dog, smarts vs luck, abstract vs real; she wants to do art for art's sake and spend time with those she loves and cares for. That's it! Why is that so bad?
Poor girl, it's everyone else who makes things so hard.
too hesitated to ask this, but is it okay if i can do fanart of your oc, notiker? he's a very interesting character 📝🥺
yapping this out while I draw for my next toon dissertation /silly YES YES OF COURSE !!!! refer to previous for extra little notes on them if you'd like them (which was a hot minute ago so I don't expect you to have seen it dw) bc YES YES I AM OVERJOYED PLEASE DO !!!
I welcome and encourage and would froth at the mouth over content of my silly ocs I would be very flattered, very touched by the interest 🥹🫶
if I don't immediately respond to it when it's posted it's probably bc I'm busy chewing my fingernails off and throwing up about it and trying to think of how to best respond to it to give it the justice it deserves HEEHEE 🫶🫶
My hand cramped so bad so I’ll draw Dr. Med at a later date… but I was able to draw a full page of Notiker! With a bonus of my oc, Syrus.
these ocs belong to @vallahaii ! Go check them out now now nowww
dude omg he’s so pathetic I’m gonna throw him in a broiler…didn’t do him justice but fuck it we ball
a little thing while I was drawing this, I was listening to Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On album because I think it fits the whole “peace and love” theme that Gardenview and it’s TVshow tried to emphasize. Plus, it’s just a really nice album.
ok HEEEERE WE GO HERE WE GO I wanted to actually rb this properly once I could really lock the fuck in about it and that took slightly longer than expected
crying the notikerlings. how can I ignore them they scare me . also bro's wiping their boogers on my dash ermmmm guards kill them /goofy
gets you gets you gets you 🫵
"five pounds idk man that's kinda scary"
MEDHA WOULD LOVEEEE DECORAAAA ‼️‼️‼️
see this is also why I rly love the idea of stratifying toon ages with a little more detail (more age ranges) bc Notiker and Medha's ages are very important to how they act and what they experience — because much of what their arcs revolve around (and how they were made, as "professional adults who have got their lives sorted out") is the feeling that it is too late for them to change, that their age precludes them from shifting their life path to something they would prefer more, but that the young and those that love them can remind them it's never too late. So smth like decora is perfect for that because the playful, cute, colorful and chaotic aesthetic of just covering yourself in as many accessories and stickers as humanly possible, a movement started by the youth in the late 1990s and therefore likely during Medha's (and Gardenview's) lifetime, is just the kind of thing she would love to be guided by younger toons into participating in to make her happy
let's Marvin Gaye and get it on /ref notiker would approve it's just in his taste

Mayhaps some crumbs of Dr. Med content for the hungry? Perchance? Possibly? Conceivably? (Insert more synonyms here LOL-)
👉👈🥺
*edit HEY THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO POST TOMORROW LMAO rude
HAHA BUT OF COURSE ! notiker brainrot having obliterated my psyche doesn't mean she's not still floating around in there my darling lady my dearest ......
she's so lovely cutieful
She added complexity to her own design during her transition because her original design was quite literally missing something — despite being more complex out the gate than even the main toons, there was always something off about it. Perhaps it was because there weren't enough colors, maybe the design had too cold a palette, it was difficult to say.
