My friendly neighborhood in Gacha club

HEY GUYS WANNA SEE SOME MORE PUPPETS?

enjoy

BUT FOR REAL THO?!?!? My friendly neighborhood is the BEST mascot horror game and I WILL draw more fanart because MY GOD there is NONE.

Oh and here’s Ricky and my version of Gordon!

You guys want some

Gordon O’Brian????

Ain’t he a silly???

Also Lenard because I love them

I am OBSESSED with the way you draw Gordon from mfn it makes me wanna give him a big ol smooch, can you draw him more pretty please? 🙏🙏🙏🙏 (Not forced ofc)

Well since you asked so nicely….

Have some doodles!!

Snork mimimimi old man

The most cursed thing I have ever drawn.

Mustache-less Gordon

i love the expressions you draw on Ricky, like bro is just like :0

You like those expressions? Have some more then!

I have a bit of a theory to chew your brain matter upon based off your amazing art for MFN.

Whoever Gordon’s boss is, they wanted Gordon to mess up the job or leave without doing the job.

Obviously people knew the puppets were nutty due to the Ray Clothes Iron incident and with such an unfriendly city, why wouldn’t their boss seek a way to dispose of their most frustrating handyman without paying him his final paycheck and simply getting rid of him by having him fail his job.

MMmmMmM yessssss new theory to chew me brain matter mmmMmmM yessss I am pleased with the LOREEEEEEE

Ok but in all seriousness, this makes sense. The Age Discrimination act of 1967 states that you cannot dismiss someone purely on age, as that is the only reason why I think his old boss might’ve wanted him fired.

Boss man wanted to replace someone younger, maybe for efficiency reasons, but he couldn’t fire him without cause just because Gordon was old. So, boss man came up with a plan to make him fail on his job so that they can get rid of him quicker.

Jokes on boss man tho, Gordon is now the owner of the property 😭

So, guess who got a NEW DRAWING TABLET! MEEEEEE!!! and guess who has to relearn digital art again..... me......

Welp, at least i have line weight now. So here! Have a small sketch of Gordon as I try to figure how Krita works.

OODLES OF CLASS DOODLES

I had these and forgor to post em

Here ya go! Enjoy!!

Gordon disapproves of such nonsense

Welp at least he has someone to share his pain with!

(Gordon on the right belongs to @ask-your-friendly-neighborhood !!! Go check em out!!)

Also extra silly in the bottom!

(Feel free to use this silly! Just make sure to credit yours truly!!)

WHAT TO PICK??

ALL YOU MFN LOVERS PICK SOMETHING FOR THE POLL!!

Perhaps one of these boxes will return one day…

TW: BLOOD AND SCOPOPHOBIA

I wanted to draw something spooky for Halloween!

Here's Arnold and his big ol' chompers!

(Don't worry! its 100% just raspberry jam.... no it isnt)

I did have another really cute doodle with the other MFN puppets but I got really sick a few days ago and I completely lost motivation T-T

There's always next Halloween tho!

YO THIS IS SO COOL WTH??

Gordon’s design is horrifyingly awesome!! Since his face got smashed in you can’t really tell what expression he’s making, you can only see his jagged teeth, making him look SO uncanny in the best way possible!!

And the human designs for the puppets??? AGH! I LOVE THEM SO MUCH! The expressions and poses are absolutely LOVELY!

My Friendly Neighbourhood Swap AU!

Cringe but I’m free.

DOODLES

I can’t believe guys this is the best Gordon drawing I ever drew. YOU GUYS HAVE NOOOO IDEA JUST HOW LONG IT TOOK ME TO FINALLY GET THE RIGHT DESIGN FOR HIM!!!

Also, consider this a small appetizer! (You might be getting a LOT more in the future!

(Some more doodles under the cut!)

Yes have a very random Kinger doodle as well

For your MFN Swap Au, who does Gordon like best, and who does he like the least? (I love the concept of this Au ARGHHHHHH!)

Gordon liked Stevie.

Gordon doesn’t like Ricky.

Also sorry these are taking so long, apparently I incurred the wrath of vegan meat substitutes and that has kept me conked out for most of today.

OH THIS FEAST WAS SCRUM-DIDDILY-UMPTIOUS CHILLER

seriously, almost every line made me jump out of my chair and STIM

I just LOVE how much thought and effort you put into this, and just how much it makes SENSE. Its just oh so heartwarming and SAD and WHAT AN EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER YOU PUT ME ON

10/10, send my compliments to the chef.

y’all wanted Gordon hcs and you’re getting gordon hcs!!

Gordon O’Brian 🧢

• for the first week of working at the studio, the puppets would cling onto him begging him to not leave every time he started to head home. Norman was the one who lasted the longest, letting his felt body get dragged along the pavement the whole way to Gordon’s truck.

• doesn’t actually die when he gets a ‘game over,’ just a 19 hour nap and a bump on the back of his head that could compete with Norman’s nose. when he wakes up a George is in the middle of testing out a sponge rat on him.

• had his fair share of unfair treatment, but would rather not focus on it. it still influences his grumpiness a lot and he’s not afraid to hide it. and look where that got him, probation..

• started excessively drinking once he had the means to after his service. it’s not doing his memory problem any favors, which is why he continues. despite it being a problem he’s yet to come to work drunk. hangover, maybe, but never drunk.

• on the topic of consumables, he is. very weird with food. it’s at a point where it’s an issue but it can’t really be labeled as something specific. he’ll go days without ingesting something other than alcohol (very bad) then suddenly get obsessive and hoards food like it’s the apocalypse. goes through an overwhelming amount of guilt every time he finds himself at the same drive-thru from last week. bad habit of getting takeout, suddenly losing appetite, letting it go stale and telling himself oh it’s been days now can’t eat it anymore.. then eating it.

• heavy sleeper. whether he drank too much or just collapsed (rare event), he’s not getting up. it quickly becomes an advantage when you’re surrounded by puppets who think ‘lets see who can twist themselves into a pretzel without screaming’ competitions are just much more fun at exactly 2AM. the disadvantage is sleeping right through any nightmare that decided he deserves to relive the past for another night. it’s only distressing in the moment. once it’s morning and he’s up, it just feels pointless dwelling on it. he’s gotta take care of the screaming pretzel on his bed before anything else.

• an asthmatic. he’s got an inhaler and that was the only thing keeping him going through the basement and offices.

• Ricky often gets on his shoulder without him knowing. first time the sock pulled that stunt he chucked him across stage 4 like he was a baseball. he turn around to see Ricky glaring at him, back on his shoulder.

• his body tends to store most gained weight around his abdomen opposed to anywhere else, which he only noticed once his body got older. it’s another insecurity, as if he didn’t have enough of those.

• Gobblette likes watching movies with him, as long as they aren’t any of the ones produced by MFN. she gets self conscious seeing herself on the screen. he doesn’t mind it at all and helps Gobblette get her mind off it by showing him his own favorite films.

• jumps back and forth between several defense mechanisms, oddly enough, but the most common one is repression. rarely tries to rationalize a situation unless it actually does seem like that’s the case.

• when he’s in danger or an unfamiliar situation, he’ll quickly start to defend himself and fight back if this calls for it. if that’s not an option he’ll hurry to get far away from whatever the issue is. if he can’t do that, then he’ll resort to trying to appease or fix the issue.

• the five main puppets found out how to open doors after he showed one Junebug she needed to pull, not push after watching her struggle for half an hour. life at the studio became an actual horror game for him after that.

• there’s multiple incidents where Pearl almost turned him into a pancake because she didn’t think to check her surroundings, one of the funnier examples being an incident where she was tired of walking around stage 4 and decided to lower her feathered behind on the stoop Gordon was already on ‘just resting his eyes’.

• doesn’t mean Pearl’s reckless, she can be gentle. her wings look tiny, but she’s capable of wrapping them around the man. tricks Gordon into coming closer under the guise that she needs help to adjust her glasses so she can nuzzle him, knowing he won’t pull away anyways.

• grew up in a nuclear family with a german shepherd his parents claimed saved him from being bitten by a backyard snake. he was pretty happy growing up, crime was rare in the area they lived and he was well behaved during a time where it was still legal for teachers to punish you physically. it was only when he got older that his relationship with his family got more strained.

• i said it before and i’ll say it again: biromantic asexual

• had a girlfriend he ran away with around their mid-teens. they were considering marriage when the draft happened. they’re no longer in contact.

• the period where he was adjusting back to ‘normal’ was probably the lowest part of his life, what’s worse is that he can’t even properly remember it. every walk felt like he was trying to make his way through a scathing, hissing crowd, humid days didn’t feel like they were really happening.. he couldn’t look at another individual without doubting himself or where he was. one day, he’s trying to make breakfast.. no, lunch.. suddenly his girlfriend is screaming and he realizes he rested his hand not on the countertop but the bright red burner. that was the last straw for her, especially after he started rambling how it now smelled like he was back there during the drive to the hospital. she.. oh god, what was her name.. couldn’t take it anymore and left on a certain holiday, Gordon can’t remember is it was Christmas, or New Years Eve, but it was around the winter. panicked and got hypothermia trying to find her, believing she just got lost in the snow.

• among the few things he can recall from this period, there’s foggy memories of homelessness. he isn’t even sure if that really happened, his mind was all over the place here. yeah, he can’t exactly look back on a memory where he decided to move out of that side of town, but he’s not going to just accept he had no choice in the matter.. even if he does have a vivid memory of finding his furniture sprawled on the yard, his key not cooperating with the lock no matter which turn he made and a woman scaring the hell out of him repeating her question, “how much for the table?” then there’s that huge gap in his memory and all he can remember was the cold and how it burned, weirdly enough. way different from the stovetop, where he only registered he was in pain when there were screams and confusion. this cold was suffocating, unavoidable and honestly some days he’s convinced he made that all up. he really hopes he just made it all up.

• although he remembers the war, there’s certain significant things he can’t remember, he isn’t sure why. can’t remember the name of the drill sergeant, what happened that one night they were sleeping in shifts and who exactly he was praying day and night would get shot in the head so he wouldn’t have to deal with them anymore.

• never got any sort of help after the war, especially since everyone collectively decided to ignore anything that might serve as a reminder of those horrors. not that he’s against that idea, it just seems to be the one thing Gordon couldn’t get himself to forget for more than one night. any attempt to distance himself from those memories just seemed to worsen it. nowadays, he can bring it up without it hurting as much. even hung up that.. what he got from the war onto the rear-view mirror of the truck.

• no close relatives. they either died, don’t want anything to do with him or last saw him when he was three years old and toddling around the family reunion, telling everybody he’s going to be a pirate for halloween. no, that’s cute, but puppets don’t really count.

• as stupid as it can feel sometimes, he tries to treat the puppets like other individuals. even if they supposably don’t ‘mind’ being viewed as props, he knows it’s just because they don’t know better. its also why he’s trying to keep his anger under control, the last thing he wants is to possibly take out his anger on a puppet just when he gained their trust.

• since puppets aren’t that much of a big deal in this universe, Gordon will bring one or two with him on errands in a situation where he has to keep an eye on them. after trial and error he now knows to keep Lilianna and George far apart at all times, never separate Norman from Lenard and to bring Junebug alone because if he even turns his attention away from her she’s dashing off.

• Ray helps him with fixing up the place, although most of it is spent in silence. Ray’s not too chatty and Gordon can respect that, but he’s always open to answering any questions the puppet might have.

• Scraps, Flooper and Mahoney have gotten into the habit of waiting for Gordon at the gate every weekday. they think he takes too long to get out of the truck and are always barking and pawing at the door. the second he sticks his leg out their enthusiasm peaks, now dashing around him in a circle, sometimes standing up on their hind legs for head scratches. Ricky says they used to do that with Al.

• the puppets haven’t seen what’s under his cap and he doesn’t plan on it, especially now that he’s got a lightning scar that gives him the creeps. doesn’t think he could handle what reactions they might have, which he can only imagine would be backhanded compliments or unintentionally insensitive remarks.

• Junebug terrorizes him over his hair, insisting he’s gotta do something fun with it if he’s gonna have so much all over him. after hiding every single pair of safety scissors in the area he gave up and let her do what she wanted. she managed to put his hair into these stupid little pigtails even with his refusal to take off the cap.

• Lilianna insists he’s her grandson now and is constantly bombarding him with grandma kisses. she won’t stop and it’s been the fifth time this month that he had to resort to pointed the stenographer in her direction.

• knows how to solve a rubik’s cube. the puppets go nuts every time.

• still in contact with old friends, classmates or platoon. once every blue moon they get together for drinks and Gordon’s usually the no-show but Ricky started convincing him to go because friendship and all that.

• ended up using Al’s old office as his own with the puppets permission. they made Gordon his own name plate with plastic eyes, glitter and paper hearts, saying Al wouldn’t mind because then they can just share when he comes back to the studio to help! [Gordon does some digging and finds out Al passed away three years ago]

• he’s gotta tell them soon, he know he does, but has no idea how they’ll react if they couldn’t even handle disturbing television. his plan is to tell Ricky first.. then see how they should go about telling the others.

• out of the main five, Lenard is the one he gets along with the most. he doesn’t want to think it’s because of the missing eye. The puppet tries to teach him how to dance to no avail. two left feet and unwilling to learn. Norman is the most attached however. he’s called him ‘Lenard’ one too many times.

• Arnold’s been much more social and is always trying to get Gordon to play piano with him when he’s clearly busy fixing up the place. it’s not like he doesn’t have time to spare but Arnold’s a bit.. much. he wonders why the puppet wouldn’t rather have one of the other puppets assist him but hasn’t thought of asking. not sure if he’ll get a coherent answer. doesn’t hurt humoring him for now.

• even if there wasn’t such a distrusting attitude towards vets and actual places he could get the assistance he needed, this man would probably not go through with it in the end. between the individualist beliefs, intrusive thoughts and that tiny sliver of dignity he’s holding onto so tightly it’s cutting off the circulation in his fingers.. yeah.

• in case you couldn’t tell by now *slaps roof of Gordon* this bad boy can fit so much fucking dissociative amnesia in it

• slowly getting back into old hobbies he previously lost interest in. some of them aren’t as captivating to him like when he was younger but he still likes a few.

• filmmaking was one he liked but never got to truly indulge in. at most he could just watch movies and appreciate the work that went into them. now he’s got a reason to actually start get more knowledgeable in the subject. Ricky’s already getting fired up at the idea of possibly getting to make another movie despite Gordon’s warnings to not have high expectations. the sock is already suggesting ideas of a spinoff show.

• of course Gordon can’t run a whole thing on his own. while there’s people more than enough willing to help the show, he’s recently starting hiring other veterans who couldn’t find work and needed the pay.. and god was it hard at first, Ricky only caught on to his hesitation mid conversation. Gordon was only uneasy going through with the idea at the risk of somehow messing it all up. So the sock sat on his shoulder the entire time, emotional support parrot.

• Gordon’s still going to be struggling with those past horrors, it’s not like this is going to fix him automatically and take all those wasted years away. he can’t fix himself the way he’s still going, it’s going to be a rough journey but it’s possible. Ricky’s suggested maybe the first step should be the show. ‘and how is that going to solve anything?’ while Ricky thinks positivity will teach the younger generation, Gordon feels like while they can keep the education and humorous parts of the show, they can focus on showing the importance of community and looking out for one another. it’s possible to find light just from the people around you, just from something simple as kindness. yeah.. he’ll admit it sounds silly, now that he says it out loud. that stupid sock is really rubbing off onto him.
