He Is Yipee

Quirks and observations #1:

At no point has anyone ever made Ford feel like he has intrinsic value. Deep down he feels people will only tolerate him if he is being useful hence his obsession with 'fixing' his mistake when it was really him being manipulated.

After Weirdmageddon, he immediately turned around and called his life's work 'an old man's folly'. He was willing to sacrifice himself to save his family but after everything he's gone through he calls Stanley the hero because Stanley was the one who got it done.

He doesn't forgive himself for making mistakes.

Ford always has all these metrics with which he judges himself and his standards are so damn high. He doesn't think he's a great scientist. He doesn't think he's a good man or even a good brother. He always has to be the fixer, the smart one, the one constantly trying to prove himself competent. Nothing he does is ever good enough because he knows the moment something goes wrong people will drop him.

He saw how his father treated Stanley, and he internalized it. Even when Ford made his father proud, he was keenly aware of how precarious and conditional it all was.

I'd like to think that at some point his family tells him it's okay to ask for help, but because he's so guarded no one has figured out that what he really needs is someone to tell him they won't love him less if he messes up.

Ford desperately needs someone that gives him permission to fail.

I still can’t get over the twin switch thing.

FORDUARY WEEK 2: Dungeons Dungeons And More Dungeons

fighting position

• I got a lot of pleasure drawing this couple.

• But not like that when I started the background. It's certainly not difficult, but it's not my favorite part in the process🤷

• But the main thing is that I am pleased with the result and the result is something atmospheric and romantic ..

Dance , puppet boy!

These freaks don't know how to react to physical affection!! This is my vaguely valentine themed art give or take (・_・)ノ

cropped ver + some rambling!!

The original plan was to draw chibi ship art of the main ships; Pickles + Nathan, Toki + Skwisgaar, Murderface + Knubbler. Then maybe some solo valentine chibis of Charles and Abigail, but I got lazy :(

Perhaps I'll still do it, but I dunno!! I'm not good at committing to things lmao

Also My brain decided the main pen I was using was no longer good so now I'm on the search to find a new pen to use. This one was fun to use, but I don't think it'll be my new main. My art style is gonna be more inconsistent than usual for now,, (・・;)ゞ

Despite being art for valentines, this specific drawing wasn't inherently meant to be shipping. You can look at it however you want though, I don't care!! (´･ᴗ･ ` )

this was slightly inspired by a drawing I saw on Pinterest of Toki hugging everyone!! The idea was very cute :D

💜Teenage Sofia💜

On the right is some hairstyle searches

AU itself

Sofia sleeps through her first lessons and cannot concentrate on her homework, which is why she makes mistakes.

For some reason, Sofia’s energy is becoming less and less; she cannot easily join the busy rhythm of life as in childhood.

She considered it an uneven start to the school year, and therefore didn't tell anyone about anything.

Despite this, Sofia tries very hard to work, but the problem is that she never begins to accomplish anything.

The amulet began to behave strangely: it loses color and turns gray. And most importantly, it doesn't work as it should, sometimes completely switching off and depriving Sofia of her powers.

This causes problems with her missions: she cannot respond to calls for help in time and cannot talk to her friends. It also reminds her of the helplessness she felt when she was stuck inside the amulet.

Sofia is caught between her old responsibilities and her new academic demands, causing her to fail at both.

This begins to put pressure on her, and as a result, Sofia's emotions become uncontrollable, for example, she may suddenly cry or get angry.

It got to the point where Sofia yelled at Miranda and ran away in a fit of rage, not understanding why she was even angry.

At first, Sofia believes that the amulet is to blame for her strange condition. Something happened to it and it needs to be fixed. This is a reason to turn to Cedric for help.

However, when examining the amulet, it turns out that it doesn't affect Sofia, but vice versa. That is, the amulet reacts to her burnout due to permanent stress.

Sofia doesn't know the nature of her condition and how to fix it. If this is a curse, then it must be removed, and if it's a disease, then it must be cured, and who else but the royal sorcerer will help with this.

The more Sofia describes the symptoms, the more Cedric realizes that this is not an infection or a curse, but something that he himself once went through - depression.

To avoid this, Cedric does what Sofia once did for him: shows care and attention.

He tries to repeat the same actions that Sofia did for him many years ago, because this is the only way to deal with depression that he knows.

This doesn't always help, since she could suddenly cry, and he didn't know what to do about it. But Sofia felt better from the very fact of understanding and caring for her. What's important is that she was able to let her feelings out.

Sofia asked Cedric for medicine and he took her to the throne room where her parents were sitting. A friend nearby can help in difficult times, but there is nothing more healing than family support.

Sofia was scared to talk to her mother, because they parted on an unpleasant note. Sofia was afraid of making this worse, because she reacted extremely unpredictably to things.

I see their dialogue as somewhat awkward at first, which is why Sofia has a lump in her throat. But Miranda is not angry with her, although it's difficult for her to ask about what is happening. I think this will put pressure on Sofia and she will utter her words of apology quickly and incoherently.

It was amazing how much easier it became for Sofia when she didn't face her mother's anger, but her mother's support. What's happening to Sofia is complicated, but she's still loved and understood. No one will ever leave her alone, no matter how much she changes.

The amulet remains gray until Sofia deals with the amount of work she has to do, causing her to burn out.

In the future, Amber helps Sofia with her schedule and organization of things during the day.

Appearance info

Hairstyle:

I knew that Sofia's hair texture needed to be soft and light, so I was looking for a simple and full hairstyle. I chose between a ponytail and a half-ponytail, and in the end I settled on the hairstyle that I could feel best.

I like how in animation the movement of the tail reflects the personality and mood of the character, this is ideal for a pubescent AU, where emotions and feelings burst out.

Meg and Thumbelina are not only a great visual reference for hair movement, but also reflect facets of personality that Sofia might have at her age. And the hair in a high ponytail emphasizes this perfectly.

Cloth:

Amber and Sofia's costumes are similar because they wear school uniforms. They study together in a specialized educational institution, so I think there is a certain dress code there. It's different from the public school setting that was in the original series, and I wanted to highlight that visually.

At the same time, the palette is different for everyone and reflects the individuality of each student.

I took inspiration from Pinterest where I was looking for simple yet elegant clothes. Asian uniforms have the most variety in silhouettes, so I mainly focused on them.

All difficulties and hardships are behind...

Now you can relax on a sunny summer day in the shade of a tree, without thinking about anything, together with a friend.

You should draw Fiddleford trying to solve a rubix cube :0
