Skipped A Few Steps

Alternatively: "Are you seeing this shit, Finney?"

Based on this post I saw weeks ago

I know I just said that I'll draw something happy next, but I also have the intense urge to draw a shitpost or two

Whenever my aunt springs her insane superstitious/religious cures on me I specifically remember when I was 17 and she got me exorcised. The priest was like "I don't think she's possessed" and she insisted "well there's something wrong with her, she's always [symptoms of depression] so..."

And the guy said some verses and touched my head and stuff then said I should drink only holy water for an entire week. Which wasn't hard to do, but my fav part of this whole experience was me saying I want to eat instant noodles and my aunt going "I'll make them for you. With the holy water he gave us." And then I had holy instant noodles

i feel like the detentionaire boys are a lot more developed and that there's a lot more to them in canon than most of the girls which is annoying because sometimes the girls don't really get to be their own characters but at the same time yay i get to make stuff up

i wrote a oneshot about jenny and tina last weekend but a lot of it was based on my hcs for them so i wanted to write some stuff about the type of backgrounds i feel like they r from outside the plot of the show ^-^ i did something similar for lynch a while ago and i could do other characters too if anyone wants

jenny

i mentioned her father not being in her life because i think that either her parents divorced when she was little or never married, i think it's more likely they never married because in my head jenny's mother's initials are also JJ which she was proud of so she wanted jenny's to be the same and since she's canonically a musician she didn't want to change her name

jenny's father stopped being involved with her once he moved away and started a new family. her mother is probably never around because of her career so jenny was closer to her aunt before she went missing

she's an only child hence the mention in what i wrote of her house typically being empty

i know jenny already has reasons to be distrustful as can be seen in the show but her parents' abandonment could have also influenced it

as much as i hate talking about her arc with li the lack of an older male figure in her life could have also been why she was a victim to him :(

i hc her as a lesbian so i think between that and her parents being the way they were she grew up with a very warped perspective on relationships

she could've also called tina when li left her alone in the woods thinking her mom wouldn't care

tina

i feel like tina's family situation is kind of similar to jenny's, not as bad but she's overlooked by her parents because she's not a genius like them and ruby

i don't think it's intentional i'd like to think her parents do genuinely love her

tina doesn't have any resentment towards ruby though she's still a big sister to her, like how she gets mad at lee thinking it's his fault when ruby gets detention

i feel like while jenny is always home alone and the house is silent it's the opposite for tina because she lives with 3 geniuses

i've talked about how jenny is never shown to have any female friends until tina in detail before but i don't think i've ever mentioned how it doesn't look like tina had any at all besides lee's group? possibly stepak but they could also just work together and DEFINITELY not chaz

even then tina being friendly with lee's group was kind of just by default since they liked each other

this was way longer than i expected idek if anyone's actually going to read it 😭 i love these two together whether it's as friends or something more, i dislike a lot of other decisions that the writers made but i'm rlly glad they had them find each other

Shout out to that random ass kid who looked at me and went "WOOAAHHHH COOL [unintelligible] GIMME FIVE :D" and gave me a high five, hope he had a great day and got someone to play soccer with

CREATURE????

does anyone know where I can find good reference images of victorian-era wheelchairs? I want to draw the jovial contrarian but all the wheelchair art refs/tutorials I can find are for modern wheelchairs
