@jatp-week Day 1: Favorite Character
Julie Molina aka an angel incarnate

Please note that anyone who comes here and tries to sexualize Reggie or any other of the characters is getting blocked on sight ā¤ļø
The first known recorded use of the word aromantic was in 2005 (source), so sadly Reggie would have never heard about it before Incident Hot Dog.
Growing up, Reggie never quite related to his friends when they discussed their crushes. It bothered him sometimes, but he often dismissed himself as a ālate bloomerā and just kinda figured he would get ~those feelings~ when he got older.
Reggie did however notice how pretty girls were. And boys too. (I think we are all in agreement he is bi already?) However, growing up in the 90s, especially if his parents were anything like Alexās, itās unlikely teenaged Reggie would have known much (if anything at all) about bisexuality. He focuses on his attraction to girls because he thinks thatās his only option.
When his parents werenāt fighting, they sometimes tease Reggie about being a āladyās manā while never having a steady girlfriend. It makes him uncomfortable though he canāt really explain why. He likes hanging out with people and occasionally kissing them but doesnāt get why it has to be love? why canāt it just be fun??
Fast forward to 2020, when Julie tells the boys sheās bi, Reggie reacts like āWAIT THATS A THINGā
In June the boys are all excited to go to Pride with Julie and Flynn. Reggie is mesmerized by all the different floats and flags, and asks Julie what each one means. When she tells him about aromanticism, Reggie kinda freezes and asks her to repeat herself because heās sure he had to have misheard her. This word feels different to Reggie, important somehow.
Later that night, Reggie spends hours on Julieās computer reading about aromanticism, bisexuality, amato and heteronormativity, and everything just kinda clicks. Like heās seeing a part of himself clearly for the first time. He looks around and sees Julie, Luke, and Alex fast asleep. He smiles to himself, heāll tell his friends later.

1st arrest vs. 31st arrest
[image ID: The Barbie and Ken mugshot meme drawn with Steve and Katya. In the first image, Steve is faces the viewer straight on, and is looking very distressed and biting his lip while he holds up a placard bearing his name in front of his chest. In the second, Katya is facing slightly right and turning her head towards the viewer as she gleefully holds up her own name placard with a devilish grin on her face. The background for both images consists of black and white stripes resembling a police station height wall.]

[image ID: a four panel comic featuring Mattholomule and Gus. In the first panel, Mattholomule knocks on Gus's door. In the second, his eyes are wide in surprise and he is blushing, a note tells us that Gus has opened the door. In the third panel, Gus looks puzzled at Mattholomule's reaction. He has his hair currently in braids while a side bubble shows he had his typical puffy hairstyle yesterday. In the fourth panel, Mattholomule is blushing even harder and opens his mouth to say, "It's different." End comic.]

@edoro suggested Hunter wearing Willow's clothes and it was too cute of an idea for me to resist.
Hunter's clothes don't fit Willow quite right but she does like the socks he made her!
This drawing also forced me to confront the very real possibility that Hunter may not have a belly button. Sorry for making you all think about that
[image ID: A digital drawing of Willow and Hunter standing next to each other and giggling. Willow is wearing a dark green t-shirt with three orange pine trees on it, yellow shorts, and socks resembling her bee palisman, Clover. Hunter is wearing Willow's light yellow t-shirt with a daisy on it, her green sweat pants, her mushroom print socks, and his usual gloves. The shirt and pants are loose and short on him, revealing his ankles and his abdomen which lacks a belly button. The background is a light blue squiggle.]

Colored a Hunter from my recent huntlow comic
[image ID: a digital drawing of Hunter in human clothing looking surprised and blushing. Next to him is an ellipses (three dots "...") suggesting he is thinking. He wears an unzipped red hoodie that covers his ears, a blue knit shirt, and brown fanny pack styled across his chest. The background is bright blue.]
I havenāt made art consistently enough this year to do my traditional art summary, but I thought Iād share the pages in my art journal I filled.

[image ID: a drawing of Lilith and King sitting at a tea table together, along with Hooty serving tea, his body curled around the entirety of the canvas, as well as the Collector floating overhead. The table is set with a blue table cloth, blue cupcakes, and light purple tea cups. The chairs are purple and King's has a thick book on the seat for him to stand on for added height. The entire group is floating in a field of bright blue stars with a yellow background.]
Last year, I wrote a short fic about Lilith and Hooty spending the typically romantic holiday together as besties. Afterwards my friend @disco-girl suggested that Lilith and Hooty should have a tea party next time, which inspired this year's piece. Also I decided King and Collector should get to join in on the too. Romantic holidays can be tough for those of us who don't participate in romance, but hanging with friends can make it so much better!
Special shout out to my friend @animationadventures for organizing this event!
