Sooo, I Made This Fanart Of Sebastian From Stardew Valley Recently. I Wanted To Add More Detail To His

Sooo, I made this fanart of Sebastian from Stardew valley recently. I wanted to add more detail to his design and lean into alt-fashion a bit if that makes sense? Wasn't sure what his eye color was based on the sprite so I used grey to add contrast and match the background. My friend said I made him more emo and I love it.

AP Human Geo

Okay, I know I had a post about analyzing San Fransokyo using AP Human Geo concepts, and I'll make more of those later, but the AP scores for this year came out today and I got a 4/5! Holy shit- I honnestly thought I'd get a 2, cause like, I took an AP course, a college course, in 8th grade, at fucking 14 years old, that's amazing, that's great, like, I wasn't expecting that. I love human geography, but AP grading is kinda rigged/unfair sometimes, like, you can answer something completely correctly and still get it wrong because of the phrasing, so I'm happy I did well. I don't know, jsut wanted to share some thoughts, I'm not feeling great mentally, just kinda floating through my days lately, but it was a pleasant little surprise, I still feel kinda just "Eh" but it could be worse, I could've gotten a 1-2 (especially considering AP human geo had a high amount of students with a 1 this year).

So I just realized I rebloged this- What. I did not know I could reblog my own stuff, I would delete this since it's exactly the same as the original, but it already has quite a few notes, welp. Notes are notes.

Some old art

So, I realized, I don't think I ever posted finished art on this account, I might've posted this on another older account, not sure, but I felt like posting some art since I've been down lately.

I made this back in like, December, January, some time around that, it took me a long time since I get putting down my art and shit and I haven't been feeling great this last year or so, and tbh, my obsessions and interests are the only thing keeping my head above water rn. But I really liked this piece, I was trying to recreate a manga panel from Your Lie In April whilst trying to add a background, the background was completely unplanned and mostly just there to cover up the fact I had made his hand too big, but I like how it turned out, at the time I didn't do much gouache work and the background was completely in gouache, so I consider it a win. Here's the panel I tried to recreate:

Happy Birthday Hiro!

Okayyyy, so I read June 3rd is Hiro Hamada's (big hero 6) birthday so I wanted to post some art of him, sadly my painting of him isn't nowhere near being done, but that's fine, it's fine. so here's a work-in-progress painting, some bracelets, and a poster I made. Also fun fact: Big hero 6 is turning 10 years old this year in November, so I might post something in November.

Happy birthday Hiro! Hiro as a character has had a large impact on my life, his arc with grief and depression themes to his arc helped me a lot as a child, and he was part of the reason I make robots now (irl lore drop haha). While I loathe Disney's guts, Big Hero 6 is one of my all-time favorite movies. Hiro as a character is someone I relate to and see a lot of my own traits in, while also having gender envy from him. He was one of my first childhood crushes and still is one (as I'm around the same age as him and I just have a type for nerd boys with dark hair). Hiro, Baymax, and all the other characters from Big Hero 6 have just been characters I deeply love, I watched the series when it came out, and Baymax! is a comfort series for me, I just love Big Hero 6 so much, I might post about it in the future (I don't post on here often due to irl events and some stuff weighing on my conscious). If you couldn't tell, I'm obsessed with Big Hero 6, I have a pinata of a microbot and I'm sewing plushies of mochi, micro and mega bots, and I made a really poorly made Baymax plushie. Thanks for listening to my ramble, happy birthday to Hiro Hamada!

Okay, I've posted a lot more today then I have in this entire accounts existence so far, but I'm just very happy.

I don't heavily interact with fandom that much nowadays because I'm busy and people scare me but I've found some cool people in the BH6 fandom so what was shaping up to be a horrible day today (I wasn't feeling great this morning) has actually gone lovely.

And if it wasn't already apparent, I love BH6. But I wanted to share this personal connection I have with the movie specifically; so currently, I am very close in age to Hiro, so when the movie came out I was really young, and before I first watched the movie, I was kinda internally misogynistic (I'm genderfluid but was born female and grew up around a lot of boys and had trouble connecting with girls due to my lack of social cue understanding) so I told myself I couldn't watch big hero 6 because the boys liked it and I was too masc to be a girl and too fem to be a boy. I told myself that BH6 was something not for me.

Buttt that changed when the movie was on cable and I watched it and was so fascinated by the robots and Hiro. Hiro was a character I connected to in a way I didn't quite understand at the time (later in realizing it was gender envy and the grief/depression themes later relating to my tween years). I loved seeing Baymax, the bot fights and the microbots, at the time I was already vaguely interested in science, but I think this move solidified my interest in robots.

I think the coolest thing with this is that next year I'm going to a public, specialized science and math school for highschool aged teens to focus on a career path in STEAM kind of like SFIT (but instead of college it's a highschool) which I think is just so cool how this movie put me on my current path while also helping me tackle internalized biases against myself and later on cope with mental illness.

Sometimes movies can have the largest impact on our lives, now I build robots, am learning to code, read science fiction, and want to make robots like Baymax to help people with medical conditions that prevent people from taking care of themselves (it is my ultimate dream to make a robot like Baymax).

Making robots has been my lifeline during some very hard points, and so has animated films, so BH6 helped me during some dark points and helped inspire my desire to make robots to further medicine and help people.

All that is to say, thank you Big Hero 6 for setting me down a path of science, robotics, determination, and challenging little me's beliefs about what I could watch and what I could be. I wouldn't be here without ya.

Love y'all, thanks for reading my ramble -Professional yapper/chatterbox, Feral/Raine
