You ever feel like you both want to share ideas and stuff, but also you would rather die than be percieved? Yea. Yea me too.Call me Sketch (she/her) but I swear I'm not suspicious! I'm just very bad at knowing if I appear normal. Anyway, this is just a tiny personal blog where I'll reblog fandom stuff and sometimes post art or talk about my ocs, of which I have too many. On the topic, I’m TheSketchlord on toyhou.se.

Just thinking of the past...
Possibly the best and worst kind of karma is watching yourself be reflected in your descendants. Now let’s hope this hc cast are ok parents-
Hi, I hope you have a great day!
Can I request mini headcanons for Main 6 reacting to their kid being inspired by them to do something stupidly dangerous? For example: something like trying to open magical gate and contact major arcana for Asra's kid, getting lost in secret passages of Vesuvia palace for Portia's kid, or being like "screw it I'm running from home and becoming mercenary so I have as many cool battle stories as my dad does" for Lucio's kid.
The Arcana Mini-HCs: M6 when their kid does the same dangerous stuff they did
Julian: getting so many gray hairs because his (noble, bighearted) kid keeps putting themself in harm's way for other people's sake when all they have to do is stop to ask him for help - yes, this is poetic justice
Asra: caught between further enabling their kid's adventurous spirit and trying to help them understand when curious becomes stupid. tries to help them learn from experience before it gets painful
Nadia: tearing her hair out because watching her six-year-old boldly claim that they can ride around town unsupervised is both nerve-wracking (because they will attempt it) and humbling (she did it too)
Muriel: his kid is convinced that all animals are kind spirited if they're appealing enough. this is the third time this week Muriel's yanked them out of reach of a bear because they doused themself in honey
Portia: currently keeps her map of all the Palace's shortcuts hidden behind a bookshelf, to limit the amount of portals and secret doors she'll have to check next time her precious little gremlin gets lost
Lucio: surprised at how much happier his kid is than he remembers being, simply because of how generous he is with basic affection. still gets frustrated when they refuse to admit to being in the wrong
some lil doodles of assorted bits i really liked from the leaks ... sometimes when me and my sister walk our dog she will stop and sniff the same patch of grass for minutes at a time and my sister will say shes doing dog calculus in there. this is what these leaks have felt like to me irt personal enrichment. i am doing duck calculus
Donald and Della are the angel and devil on my shoulder that guides me through everything
I saw one of your requests of the M6 as college students and my cringe self who loves high school/ college AUs got an similar idea 🙌 could I get a mini hc about how the M6 would act if they had the classic high school crush on someone?
The Arcana Mini-HCs: M6 with a highschool crush
Julian: not sure how to approach you, just knows that he wants to. more likely to make friends with your group, wait until he has a chance to be a hero, and then wince when his voice cracks
Asra: the type to make their own space/presence as appealing as possible and then leave it to you to make a move. still makes his affections obvious by passing you little doodles in glitter pen
Nadia: so excited for a potential connection and so unused to connecting that all you get is a firm "I'm tutoring you today. Don't be late" before she flounces off around the corner and turns bright red
Muriel: very, very confused, because his heart did a 180 and is now heading towards a person instead of away from them. you become the only one he doesn't glower at in the hallways between class
Portia: she is going to win you over with the power of love, friendship, and snacks. quickly figures out what all your preferences are and starts keeping your favorite things on hand until you fall for her
Lucio: a jock by parental pressure, a theatre kid at heart, he's going to loudly sing his own praises whenever you're around and then approach you like a kicked puppy when you don't ask him out already

The Ducktales 2017 art book has me back on my bullshit once again-
I found this concept design for Gyro, and I noticed this little detail I just love where he has a little pocket chain. Just a small detail, Y’know? Well I thought “Oh! That’s actually a cute little detail! Maybe I could incorporate that whenever I draw this nerd!” …Then it all kinda snowballed from there.
Because then I thought- What if it was a watch? Because I have a feeling he’d be the exact nerd to carry around a fancy little pocket watch with him.
So my whole headcanon I somehow gathered from this is: Gyro has this little pocket watch that he usually has on him. He wouldn’t typically admit it, but it’s a pretty sentimental item to him. Well, That’s all because it’s a gift that his father Fulton crafted and made for him back when he was younger. (I wanna say as a “good luck charm” before Gyro left for his Tokyolk internship. Y’know. Because.)
Am I pulling things out of thin air? Probably! Is this nerd on my mind way too much? Also probably. But is this fun? Hell yes.

Silly n cute lil video ^^

There has to be some kind of irony in that a lot of those “choose all the x in this (grid) picture” captchas require a robotic kind of choice making. It’s usually like:
If: x = at least 1 pixel of box
- Then: click = yes
Those warped number and letter captchas are another story, though.
It's the end of a story driven Disney TVA era
Yea.
Not to preach anarchy/wanton rebellion, but like Big Bird in that one meme, we riot at dawn.
because sometimes there are invisible tests and invisible rules and you're just supposed to ... know the rule. someone you thought of as a friend asks you for book recommendations, so you give her a list of like 30 books, each with a brief blurb and why you like it. later, you find out she screenshotted the list and send it out to a group chat with the note: what an absolute freak can you believe this. you saw the responses: emojis where people are rolling over laughing. too much and obsessive and actually kind of creepy in the comments. you thought you'd been doing the right thing. she'd asked, right? an invisible rule: this is what happens when you get too excited.
you aren't supposed to laugh at your own jokes, so you don't, but then you're too serious. you're not supposed to be too loud, but then people say you're too quiet. you aren't supposed to get passionate about things, but then you're shy, boring. you aren't supposed to talk too much, but then people are mad when you're not good at replying.
you fold yourself into a prettier paper crane. since you never know what is "selfish" and what is "charity," you give yourself over, fully. you'd rather be empty and over-generous - you'd rather eat your own boundaries than have even one person believe that you're mean. since you don't know what the thing is that will make them hate you, you simply scrub yourself clean of any form of roughness. if you are perfect and smiling and funny, they can love you. if you are always there for them and never admit what's happening and never mention your past and never make them uncomfortable - you can make up for it. you can earn it.
don't fuck up. they're all testing you, always. they're tolerating you. whatever secret club happened, over a summer somewhere - during some activity you didn't get to attend - everyone else just... figured it out. like they got some kind of award or examination that allowed them to know how-to-be-normal. how to fit. and for the rest of your life, you've been playing catch-up. you've been trying to prove that - haha! you get it! that the joke they're telling, the people they are, the manual they got- yeah, you've totally read it.
if you can just divide yourself in two - the lovable one, and the one that is you - you can do this. you can walk the line. they can laugh and accept you. if you are always-balanced, never burdensome, a delight to have in class, champagne and glittering and never gawky or florescent or god-forbid cringe: you can get away with it.
you stare at your therapist, whom you can make jokes with, and who laughs at your jokes, because you are so fucking good at people-pleasing. you smile at her, and she asks you how you're doing, and you automatically say i'm good, thanks, how are you? while the answer swims somewhere in your little lizard brain:
how long have you been doing this now? mastering the art of your body and mind like you're piloting a puppet. has it worked? what do you mean that all you feel is... just exhausted. pick yourself up, the tightrope has no net. after all, you're cheating, somehow, but nobody seems to know you actually flunked the test. it's working!
aren't you happy yet?
I love familial familiars, actually
Inanna who, over time, has come to think of Muriel as the socially awkward baby brother who's taking too long to figure things out on his own for her patience
Inanna who will "accidentally" bump against you just as she's walking by, since she can tell he's been craving a hug for hours and just hasn't brought himself to initiate one
Inanna who regularly attempts to feed the chickens herself so that Muriel can discover the delights of a slow morning waking up at the same time that you do (it doesn't work, the poultry are terrified of her)
Inanna who eventually receives the equivalent of the "I'm a big boy now, you don't have to worry about me anymore" talk from Muriel at some point, and merely responds with a disbelieving stare
He’s a platypus. They don’t do much.

One of my favorite headcanons/related Astrid theories, resaid in a very poetic way
okay so my theory about How To Train Your Dragon is that Astrid loved Hiccup WAYYYYY before the events of Romantic Flight but due to how the vikings lived in near constant combat with the dragons and young children/teens being forced to learn how to defend themselves and their families from an early age, she closed herself off to those feelings because by all accounts Hiccup was doomed to die. she resented how useless he was in combat, and she resented how much she cared. she was mean and dismissive to him out of fear that she would inevitably have to mourn him soon, and the colder she was the easier it would be.
then, miraculously, Hiccup begins to show some kind of competency in dealing with the dragons. but he's still not defending himself. he's finding strange ways of controlling them, but he's still as physically weak as he was before and Astrid can't see how whatever he's doing will help him outside of the training ring. great, you found out that Deadly Nadders like chin scratches. what about the Monstrous Nightmare burning down your house?
all this just makes Astrid angrier. how is Hiccup succeeding without violence? how will he survive without violence? violence is what she was born into. what does he know that she can't comprehend?
it's only later, when she sees that this scrawny beanpole of a boy has found a companion in a Night Fury, the embodiment of Death, that the miracle of him starts to make sense. he knows so much more than what any of their people can comprehend. and he wants so badly to show her. and for the first time ever, Astrid has hope.
i believe that this explains Astrid's comfortability and affection for Hiccup that she shows during and after the events of Romantic Flight, why she wraps her arms around him and kisses his cheek after everything. considering her personality, i don't think Romantic Flight shows her falling in love with Hiccup for the first time. i think she has loved him for a long time, and was too trapped in self-protection to allow herself to feel it (similar to Katniss regarding Peeta). but now she has hope that maybe he won't be ripped away from her. now she sees how much more there is to him, sees that he embodies Mercy stronger than Death.
do you ever start talking to someone or make a friend online who’s just SO FUCKING COOL you can’t believe they actually talk to YOU of all people ???? amazing.
Quite possibly my favorite part of Stanley Parable is when Stanley says “it’s Stanley time” and Stanleys all over the Narrator’s sanity.
That dang skip button pulls at my heartstrings every time. The poor ol’ guy just wants to ramble about manifestos and treatises and whatnot, but in a bid to make other people like him and his game, he lets who he really is be overlooked—trampled in the face of never-ending footsteps moving too fast to be moved by monologues. “Travel to the next dialogue line and cutscene, why don’t you, and cut me out of your life!”…is something the Narrator would probably say, if he had the will to do anything but beg that the button not be pressed again after being skipped over for the last year like an inmate forgotten in solitary confinement. You can skip the rambles, Stanley, but you can’t skip the angst!
It’s just too relatable. There’s probably at least one moral in there. I know I’d like to be listened to and believe there’s at least one person who wants to listen; one person willing to play my games. I know things have rarely gone well whenever I’ve let other people’s superficial opinions of who and what I should be dictate who I am; always left in the dust, rotting away for years.
Anyway, ramble over. Sometimes I wonder if TSP has released its hold on my brain, but then I’m reminded that the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the
My two favorite nerds (next to Huey)
been too drained to do much more than silly doodles but couldnt focus on just one thing to doodle. then i had this silly convo with my friend and thought it would make a good excuse just to scribble somethin out real quick
also yeah barnacles have a calcified shell, but theres a living animal inside of there ! they use little feathery-lookin appendages called cirri to catch drifting plankton to eat ! enjoy your marine biology fact for the day
Yea.
So many fandoms.
