Happy Birthday Michael Romance!!!

Where’s the other five people in this fandom at? Season 3 is here…jk! The Hollow may have been canceled, but a guy can dream. I mainly want another season so I can get more of these two, Adam and Kai. Even before Adam was canonically gay, all of season 1 I was side eyeing these gay fuckers like “I know what you are” (/j, but still, the whole time I was like, is this a ship? There’s no way this isn’t already a ship, right?) and I need more of them being not normal about each other.

obviously this is mostly in silliness, but I do genuinely think this show should get a season 3 (and these two together), because there was so many directions they could have gone before it got canceled.

I’m bringing this back even though I drew it forever ago because I think it’s funny, and I’m still kind of proud of it. I forgot I used to draw noses like that lol. And also Ethos. I forgot I used to give him a little, like, swoopy thing. Hah.

I was listening to How to Be a Heartbreaker by MARINA and I realized it fit the boat boys perfectly

I might go back and add color later, but for now; behold…whatever the hell this is. Go listen to the song please this will make more sense I think?

This is, of course, all in silliness, I just thought it was funny. Also it’s a fun song.

cyberpunk city never sleeps

I’ve drawn a Joel. I’m not quite sure how that happened, as I set out to make a portrait of my new DnD character, but I was just drawing along and then I was like, huh, that looks an awful lot like the mezalea (did I spell that right?) king.

so, anyway

I did not look at a reference at any point in the process so sorry not sorry if it’s inaccurate.

Grian makes a great blorbo because he is so… blorby

He is so proud of that waffle hat and you cannot change my mind.

Goodluck to @tibbycaps in mccr!

Go aqua artimators! I really hope I can catch the stream!

also, bonus:

I was watching a vod of Tibby and Cherri on mcci, and Tibby was wearing a halo and wielding a spikey bat and I had to add them

I’m going to draw some of the other aqua artimators as well I swear it upon my honor as a nerd and all my magic cards (the most serious oath one can make) but I started with Tibby because the Tibby vods have been giving me life during [real life stuff that’s really annoying and taking up all my time].

Also sorry Tibby I really wanna watch your actual streams but the dreaded aforementioned real life stuff is forever in the way. I love your art!!!

What if killjoy wild life Joel???. Another post that appeals to me and end of list. Also ignore how bad this drawing is lol I’m mostly posting cause I like the colors

guys if I suddenly vanish under mysterious circumstances it’s because this guy got me okay?

He’s coming for me. He’s coming for me. He’s gonna get me. Oh dear. Do not be fooled by his snilish charms and sneetly ways, he’s more dangerous than a roomba with a knife strapped to it. And he has a fabulous parachute. I can’t compete.

Hey guys so I, surprise surprise, have a Joel playlist, but I’ve somehow ended up in a competition with some other rando’s Etho playlist on how long our respective playlists are and I know that they know we’re competing because every time either our playlists get longer we trash talk each other in the descriptions, but their playlist just jumped to like 30-something hours, leaving mine in the dust, so I need your guys’ help finding enough songs to match them, so please reblog or comment with your fav Smallishbeans-core songs so that I can win this stupid competition lol. Also yes I have heard too many “____-measuring contest” jokes whenever I bring this up, so if everyone would ever so kindly please shut up about that, that would be much appreciated. /silly

This would be a lot but is it possible we could do both the eras tour and do you want to tell a story?

First of all, I’m cracking up at the fact that people are using the silly names I came up for the different genres of zine, thank you. To people who are confused, anon is referring to this poll. To answer your question: I was actually just thinking about this! My plan is basically, given that currently the overwhelming majority of people want to do eras tour, that’s probably going to be the winning one, but, if too many people apply (and I’m still figuring out exactly what counts as too many, but the general idea is : more than the number of smp/worlds that Joel has done to art/write about, but that also depends on who wants to do what and a million other things and honestly it might come down to just looking at a number and then evaluating how much anxiety I feel about modding that many people) then rather than telling people no, we can have people who maybe are less interested in doing a piece based on canon work together to make a story! I’ve been doing some brainstorming on how things can work and how to make this zine the best possible experience for as many people as possible, so here is a vague plan for how things will work:

This next part is extremely important zine info!! Please read it!! I’m looking at you, person about to scroll past!! Read!!

-once we know how many people are going to be participating and who those people will be, we’ll try to get everyone together on a discord server so that I can contact everyone with ease. If you don’t have discord and can’t get it for whatever reason, we’ll do our best to allow you to still participate, but you may have less of a say on what sort of piece you’ll be doing. -From there, hopefully with the help of other mods, I’ll send out like a million bajillion polls (important note: I don’t know how discord works. Everything will be chaotic) to figure out what everyone wants to do, how much structure they want for their pieces, if they want to do something more collaborative or individual, etc, etc.

-Then, me and the other mods will get together and try to figure out a game plan for how everything is going to work. This zine is likely going to be very different from other zines people may have done in the past, because I’m hoping that we go in less with a specific vision of what the end product is going to look like and then assign everyone part of it to make, but rather we go in with just the plan of “let’s create something fun and interesting about this shared interest of ours” and the end result will be a chaotic but passionately made scrapbook of art and writing dedicated to this weird little guy on the internet who makes us laugh and smile and inspires us to create. I’m being very vague, so here’s an example of how I’m kinda envisioning the process to work:

okay, we have X amount of people, and Y amount of them want to do a Joel eras tour zine. A bunch of people want to do a piece for this one thing, and none of them said they were against working with others and many said they were for it, so we’ll offer them the option of doing a scarland-artbook style collaboration on this one thing. The remaining eras people mostly said that they weren’t really interested in collabing with anyone, and we’re not seeing any major conflicts on who wants to do what, so they should be set. Z amount of the people remaining want to work on a story together, and many of them expressed that they had an idea for what to write/draw, so we’ll work with them to figure out the general plot, and make sure that it still stays connected to Joel. There are a few people who don’t really know what they want to work on, or would like to know the options before making a decision, so we’ll work with them to find something their interested in contributing to.

Then we’ll have a mod to monitor each group to help them stay on track within the scope of the zine, and it is my hope that things should be very collaborative for those who are interested in that and open to that, and that its an enjoyable experience and an opportunity to meet other people interested in the same thing.

this doesn’t mean that 100% we’ll be able to do both, but (and this is a little bit personal bias cause I’m definitely most interested in do you want to tell a story) if enough people there are interested in that, then we’ll do our best to make it happen!
