I Will Never Animate Again. It's So HARD!

I will never animate again. It's so HARD!😭

The guy with the scythe like grin and demeanour that could only be described as psychotic happiness or a criminally aligned good nature.

(I am still not the happiest with this, but it sure as hell beats my last attempt at Rocky so I'll take it. I still need to master this new technique)

May I present Mordecai Heller, the coolest cat in St. Louis! Most of the time. Whenever anyone looks past his frigid, ruthless reputation as St. Louis’s deadliest gunman, Mordecai does not know what to do with himself. Listen, he’s a master at being intimidating, and he is extremely professional and dedicated to the job. But he’s not good with people in any casual environment, and he is very particular about anything on his body and everything around him, and he will leave the room if someone is eating because he can hear them chewing and he can hear their teeth scraping against their fork and he can hear them swallowing and he is now going to claw his own face off. So… in that case… happy autism acceptance month. With Mordecai. Uh, good day.

I’ve been having a bit of a rough day with my OCD, I tried something new with my medication and it was definitely not helpful, so I switched back, but I’ve still been having some problems these past couple weeks. Well folks, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Take your meds.

I know autism acceptance month is over, but it still makes me feel better to turn my attention to autistic characters! Let’s celebrate and say mahalo to a very cool autistic character, Lilo Pelekai! One thing I really appreciate about the movie Lilo and Stitch is Lilo and Nani’s relationship. She’s not in an easy position to do it, but Nani is a wonderful caregiver for Lilo and always gives her her best. She does whatever it takes to take care of her. I also love (what I understand to be) Lilo’s special interest in Elvis Presley. The whole “leave me alone to die” thing was an exact snapshot of me at 14 years old. Going home at the end of a rough school day and just getting lost in the special interest sauce. And I love how Elvis forms a reference point for things that have nothing to do with music or dance (“Elvis was a model citizen”) because lots of special interests come in handy like that, where you’re approaching an unfamiliar situation but can go at it from the angle of your special interest. I don’t think that Elvis was a model citizen, but I’m not the expert.

This was just a quick doodle I was gonna do before bed, until an hour went by and it was colored and shaded. That’s me with my signature, autism-issued headphones and flip-flops

also! I just got volume 1 today! I’ve been flipping through it happily : )

Rocky peeking out from things 😶
