WELCOME TO CRINGETOBER!

WELCOME TO CRINGETOBER!

I wanted to post the prompt list a month in advance so people have time to work on it :)

There are no hard rules; it's just a fun art exercise to draw things that are considered "cringe" by popular culture. Don't stress if you miss a day!!

Even if you don't participate, it would mean the world to me if you just shared the prompt list because it took me a while to make it lol.

I hope you have fun with it!!!

A:

This is one of my favorite images and I just got to enjoy it in action.

B: DOOF GETS PERRY CHRISTMAS GIFTS?? AND HE DECIDED ON A VASE????? And doof really got hit by the toxic masculinity thing huh?

Additionally,

“Oh, you want cheat codes? No, we don’t roll like that.”

Also PLEASE CAN I PLAY JUMP DUCK AND BLOW— anyways gotta jet my favorite song is on

I have a cold and I’m miserable so I’m rewatching my favorite childhood show, Phineas and Fuckin’ Ferb.

I’m low key live-blogging to my bff so I might as well put some here. I started at season 2 because that’s what google says is the best season and I think it’s right.

- Doofenshmirtz has so much trauma and OWCA agents are therapists. He just sits there and eats wings with Perry and talks about how sad he is that he can’t come up with anything evil, then in the aglets episode Perry gives him the delete button to get rid of the embarrassing video, and when the evil plan doesn’t work he comes right back to Perry and says “I have an ouchie… in here” pointing to his HEART IM GONNA CRY DOOOOOOF

- Perry the Platypus makes that little sound intentionally. It doesn’t mean anything. It’s just a sound. Like when I hum at people. It has no translatable meaning, just tone.

- Candace is so stubborn. But she does love her brothers. She gets so mad about the aglets thing, but with Nessy Nosie, she looks at her brother’s puppy eyes and immediately agrees to throw away the evidence she wanted. Then she meets the ACTUAL MYTHICAL MONSTER and doesn’t even care, is just stubborn about it.

- “HAHAHA, IT WORKED! Your miracle growth elixir has turned you into GIANT NERDS!”

- I do enjoy the flawless girl thing. Beauty/cosmetic thing with a whole bunch of cosmetics to make insecure teenagers feel the need to buy a whole bunch of products to look “perfect” but it’s very hyperbolized so it’s clearly visible to be bad, and I’m sensing a moral about that as well. Heck yea. As I’m typing, we’re reaching the end of the episode and yea, “you both make money off of people’s natural insecurities!” Good moral.

- “Oh, that’s our sister… our -chuckles- Big sister.” (She drank the growth elixir)

- (she shrinks back while approaching her mom) “I’m back to normal!” “Normal being a… relative term.”

- why are Baljeets parents so… the way they are. I feel so bad for Baljeet. He’s got that Smart Kid Pressure ™ and can’t escape from it. Except in that one episode… but I haven’t gotten there yet.

- “oh my gosh, the square root of soon… is never.”

- “doofenshmirtz 🎶quality 🎵bratwurst”

- “Make this fish put me down!” “It’s a mammal, Candace!”

- “Your hot dog is no match… for my BRATWURST!” (No but the way Perry just keeps a hot dog in his hat that he summoned like a wizard summons a broom) (the way they’re swordfighting and Doof just takes a bite of Perry’s blade)

-Ferb is so autism

- “You know what they say: if you love something, set it free.” “We do that every day with Perry— oh, there you are, Perry!”

Poor Isabella, but also, I forgot this is where the spaceship came from. And Ferb flirts with Vanessa. Also also,

“I can’t define cute, I just know it when I see it on my cuteness meter!”

YORK! YORK! YORK! YORK!

He CANNOT READ! He’s a MALE MODEL! He got SCOUTED as a MODEL just ON THE STREET because he’s TALL AND HOT. He and his QPR POLYCULE ADOPTED A MAN WHOS LOW KEY OLDER THAN THEM and YORK DOES NOT KNOW HOW OLD HE IS.

Also, THIS IS PISSBOY, a version of York that did not HAVE to be made, a different character took on MORE WORK to create this drawing. It is now also a plushie, which I do own.

He’s a DRAWTECTIVE. It’s a 3-character +GM ttrpg style campaign where instead of fighting with stats, they draw. It’s amazing. If you’re looking for new content, whether for entertainment or good character design or awesome drawings or found family etc etc, there are two seasons of Drawtectives out now FREE on YouTube on the channel Drawfee, and the third season is being written. Each season is roughly 10 episodes, an hour long each. That’s 20 hours of great content or enjoy. Why not?!

ROUND 4 - MATCH 2

Propaganda under the cut!

Propaganda for Malacath from The Elder Scrolls:

The God King of the orcs, the Daedric Prince of vengeance, the ostracized, and the spurned. The Keeper of the Sworn Oath and the Bloody Curse. What else is there to say about Malacath? He used to be the Elven God Trinimac but he was eaten by the Daedric Prince Boethiah and was transformed into his current state, as were all his followers (fun fact, in this universe orcs are considered elves because of this). He is a very paternalistic figure to the orcs, and while they do worship him, he sees them all as his children more than devotees.

Propaganda for Gyorik Rogdul, aka York from Drawtectives:

Gyorik Rogdul, aka York, represents the northern tribe of orcs in this series. And it’s brilliant. He casually reveals the craziest shit about the Orc Lore, like “wild trains” being a Creature in ye northern orc tribes that no one has tamed, not even him. It’s probably true, but no one can know for sure. He’s a detective. He’s a model. He killed his half brother and became a prince. He doesn’t know what syllables are. He can read One english word, “sneppy.” He’s 7 feet tall. He’s ace and on the aro spectrum. He has never thought about gender or sexuality. He wants to fight real bad. He helped trans his friend’s gender. One of his nicknames is Piss Boy. He adopted a grown man as his son with his besties

What us there to say…fearless (other than wild trains, which fair), so much love and dumb fits into that body

G'yorik (York) Rogdul is one of the characters ever. He's illiterate. He loves his friends. He has an honorary son. He's in a mostly-canon polycule. He puts people in arm jail. He's a model and a prince. Literally I love him so much (please watch Drawtectives).

Alright, not to kill the joke, but as a disappointed language nerd, I did a little research. All of the actual lists I could find were half-stupid, so I’ve collected my favorites from several lists. Here are English words that supposedly cannot be translated directly into other languages:

Cheesy (Not “having a lot of cheese,” the other type)

Shallow (again, the non-literal, describing a person)

Hangry (and other internet neologisms. Duh.)

Sulk (evidently, because sulking implies being broody and upset AND having a reason)

Insight (this actually fascinated me! It’s such a useful word!)

Serendipity (every list treated this like it was extremely important and we use it all the time. We don’t.)

Stuff (the noun, “a collection of things”)

Gobbledygook (…duh)

Pimp (the word every list favored even more than serendipity)

Silly (“ridiculous” translates, but “silly” has the playful, goofy, fun connotation.)

Hillbilly (understandable, I think Americans are a bit unique with the extent of our hillbillies)

Everyone’s like “those Germans have a word for everything” but English has a word for tricking someone into watching the music video for Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up.
