Aro Characters 4/? Kourtney
Hope y’all are having a good Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week! Today’s character is Kourtney from HSMTMTS!
[image ID: a chest up drawing of Kourtney. Her mouth is open and smiling a bit, as if she were mid-talking. She has beads in her hair in aromantic pride colors, green eye shadow, long dangling earrings with arrowheads on the bottoms, a gray starry-print shirt, and green faux-fur coat. The background is solid light green almost white with a gold-ish border.]
Aro Characters 3/? Kristy Thomas
Happy day 3 of Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week! Today I present you with Kristy Thomas, President and Founder of the Baby-Sitters Club!
[image ID: a drawing of Kristy from the elbows up. She is looking up and smiling slightly with her mouth closed. Kristy is wearing an army green baseball cap with an aromantic pride pin on it, and a thick dark gray sweater over a thin lighter gray turtleneck. The thicker sweater has a dark green rubbed collar, as well as an arrow embroidered on it. The arrow is composed of aro pride colors, the body being white, the head black, and the feathers green and light green. Her hair under the hat is in a pony tail with several flyaway strands. Behind her is a green background with light green polka dots.]
Aro Characters 2/? Buffy Driscoll
Happy Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week! Today’s character is Buffy Driscoll, who (thanks to @localspacelesbian) I now headcanon as demiromantic!
[image ID: A drawing of Buffy from the waist up. She is smiling with her mouth closed and has her hair pinned back on just one side. In her right hand Buffy is waving a demiromantic pride flag. She is wearing a long knit shirt that is white from the chest down, and a green chunky gradient above the chest, semi-resembling the top half of the aromantic pride flag. She is also wearing a gold necklace with an arrow pendant. The background is a golden tan color decorated with Buffy’s partially obscured messy signature, squiggly border, and doodles of an arrow, heart, star, and spade in each corner. ]
Aro Characters 1/? Jonah Beck
Happy Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week everybody! Each day this week I’ll be drawing a different character I headcanon as aro, starting with Jonah!
[image ID: a drawing of Jonah from the elbows up. He is smiling wide with his mouth open. He is wearing a gray jacket with quilting on the shoulders, and the aromantic pride flag forming a stripe across his chest and upper arms. The jacket is unzipped over a bluish-green heathers v-neck shirt. Behind him in white cursive writing is his quote “Why does it have to be love? Why can’t it just be fun?” over a light green background and some scattered white stars.]
5 days ago I saw this post by @verycorrectjatp and I have not stopped thinking about it since
[image ID: a 3 panel comic based on the linked post. The first panel shows Alex smiling wide with his mouth open asking “Have you ever seen something that changed your life forever?” In the air behind him are two small hearts. The second panel shows Willie blushing with 5 bigger hearts in the air around him and saying “I saw you” with another heart in his speech bubble. The third panel shows Alex’s hand holding a piece of paper with a more cartoonish drawing of Alex with a frog on his head, surrounded by doodled drum set, rainbow, smile face, and stars. Alex’s speech bubble reads “That’s so sweet of you, but now I’m feeling a bit embarrassed, cause I was just gonna show you this picture Julie drew of me with a frog on my head.” The background on all panels is an orange gradient resembling a sunset.]
[image ID: The Mystery Machine from above without the figures in front of it, the words "The Good Hair Crew" more clearly visible now.]
I saw this picture of Luke Mullen and it spiraled into this entire AU. Semi-influenced by the iconic tjkiahgb’s Jonah Retriever theory.
(also shout out to @liamisthesun and @localspacelesbian for letting me ramble to them about this idea 😚)
[image ID: A full color cartoonish drawing of the Andi Mack gang as the Scooby Doo crew. From left to right Cyrus is dressed as Fred, TJ as Shaggy, Buffy as Velma, and Andi as Daphne, while Jonah is wearing a yellow shirt and brown pants with dark spots to represent Scooby and a necklace resembling Scooby’s SD collar. TJ has one arm around Cyrus’s shoulders and his other hand on Cyrus’s forearm while Cyrus has his thumbs in his own pockets, both are blushing. Buffy and Andi hold hands and are blushing. Jonah stands alone smiling and holding an open box of Scooby Snacks. Behind them is a van resembling the Mystery Machine, though the somewhat obscured lettering now reads “THE GOOD HAIR CREW.”]

a while ago I got this anon and it got me thinking about the boys helping Julie get ready for school in the morning
[ID: a 4 part uncolored comic.
[panel 1: Julie has a frustrating expression while sitting and sorting through her bag. Willie is standing behind her and has his hands in her hair. Willie says “Julie, if you don’t hold still this braid is going to come out crooked.” Julie says “But I NEED to find my science homework!” Willie says “Just tell Alex to look for it.”
[panel 2: Alex is standing at an ironing board, holding the iron in one hand and waving his free hand in the air. He says “Hey! I’m ironing Julie’s blouse okay? You should tell Luke to do it.”
[panel 3: Luke’s head and shoulders phasing through a crudely drawn door. Luke says “Come on bro, you know I’m still looking for Julie’s other shoe! Tell Reggie!
[panel 4: Reggie stands holding up a banana in one hand and an apple in the other. In front of him on the table are 3 sack lunches, each labeled RAY, JULIE, and CARLOS. Reggie says “Little busy over here ya know!” Across all 4 panels is the artist signature @/secretly-of-course. End ID]
[image ID: a screenshot redraw of Flynn from the episode “Bright” blowing on a trumpet. She is sitting on one chair while sticking her feet up on the back of another chair. She is wearing red cheetah print sweater, short denim dress, and black spandex with a white-yellow-pink-red stripe on the side, and orange sneakers. The background is bright blue and 5 small yellow blobs swirl from the the trumpet’s opening.]
find her on my redbubble! (link in the reblogs/my bio so tumblr doesn’t eat this post)
@theobligatedklutz said Willie stealing Alex’s jacket and hat and I said yes
[image ID: a cartoonish drawing of Willie from the waist up. He is wearing Alex’s distressed baseball cap backwards, Alex’s distressed jean jacket, turquoise tie dye shirt, and his typical necklaces and earring. In the background is a small doodle of Alex from the shoulders up, mouth hanging open slightly and with hearts for eyes, with a little exclamation point near his face. The background is pale pink.]
someone said space buns willie and i had a conniption oh my god i need to see this pls
The past week all I’ve been inspired to draw for some reason is donut print and I figured @thesunwillart’s dtiys challenge might be the perfect outlet for that 🍩✨
tag list: @aroacethetic-shitpost @fairygclds @liamisthesun @dionysuswearsanorangetracksuit @localspacelesbian (Lizzie you are here because you appreciated my tags and Sophia you are because I just think you would like this)
Please note that anyone who comes here and tries to sexualize Reggie or any other of the characters is getting blocked on sight ❤️
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 “late bloomer” 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 Alex’s, it’s unlikely teenaged Reggie would have known much (if anything at all) about bisexuality. He focuses on his attraction to girls because he thinks that’s his only option.
When his parents weren’t fighting, they sometimes tease Reggie about being a “lady’s man” while never having a steady girlfriend. It makes him uncomfortable though he can’t really explain why. He likes hanging out with people and occasionally kissing them but doesn’t get why it has to be love? why can’t it just be fun??
Fast forward to 2020, when Julie tells the boys she’s bi, Reggie reacts like “WAIT THATS A THING”
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 he’s sure he had to have misheard her. This word feels different to Reggie, important somehow.
Later that night, Reggie spends hours on Julie’s computer reading about aromanticism, bisexuality, amato and heteronormativity, and everything just kinda clicks. Like he’s 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, he’ll tell his friends later.
Surprise @kenzirobinthoughts! I’m your @jatpdaily secret santa! I had so much fun drawing this ☺️
I hope you have a great holiday season 💛

She is at an elevated level (on top of the piano not pictured) and looking down at Luke. Luke is on the right, visible from the chest up, and looking back up at Julie. The background is comprised of various dots of different sizes and shades of gold.]
Buffy holds Andi real tight going 12 mph 💛
Inspired by these interactions with @jealous-kippen and by this fic by @localspacelesbian —go read it for some free serotonin!
[image ID: A drawing of Andi and Buffy on Andi’s electric scooter. Andi is sitting in front, gripping the handles, and a determined smirk-like smile on her face and blushing. She is wearing a black helmet covered in heart, star, and rainbow stickers, a gray and yellow polka dot shirt, a blue and yellow jacket, bumble bee necklace, and ripped blue jeans. Buffy sits behind Andi, arms tightly wrapped around Andi’s torso, with a big open mouth smile and blushing as well. Buffy wears a pink top, dark gray leggings with pink star print, and a purple helmet with a single gray heart sticker. The background is an orange gradient somewhat resembling a sunset.]

I colored this much quicker than I anticipated, so once again I present you all with my favorite sibling duo <3

I love Elena and Bobby’s relationship so much. They act like real siblings, constantly taking shots at each other but at the end of the day will always be there to support the other <3
(might do a colored version of this later!)

DOAFP Week Day 5 ~ Favorite Character
I was having trouble choosing a favorite for today but Elena is just such a wonderful young woman and I think she deserves the whole world ☺️
[image ID: a cartoonish drawing of Elena from slightly above the waist up. She is angled slightly facing right but is mainly looking forward. Hair is tucked behind one ear to reveal a small silver earring. She wears denim overalls over a white collared sleeveless shirt. The background is pink with a reddish wavy line going across it.]
DOAFP Week Day 4 ~ Hobbies
I decided to draw a title screen for Bobby’s favorite video game!
[image ID: a drawing of a blue and red Nintendo Switch over a soft pink background. On the screen is written “Escape from TriTron” in large yellow block letters over a water background. In the upper right area of the water vague forms of two green creatures can be seen.]
DOAFP Week Day 3 ~ Favorite Friendship
I love Elena and Sasha with my entire heart 💖
[image ID: A full color drawing of Elena and Sasha. The two sit at a table while trying on their new accessories with smiles on their faces. Elena has her elbows on the table and fists closed in excitement. She is wearing a yellow shirt, blue hoodie, silver earrings, gold heart shaped sunglasses, and a tiger striped headband with kitty ears. Sasha has her elbows raised and is somewhat holding her fingers to her hair. She is wearing a pink shirt, a white hoodie with rainbow stripes, black sunglasses with white polka dots, and a white headband with a blue and gold unicorn horn, white and pink ears, flowers, and rainbow tulle sticking out. The background is light blue with slightly more saturated blue dots over it.]
DOAFP Week Day 2 ~ Favorite Moments
“Grief isn’t just about death?”
“It can happen any time there’s changes, or when we’re scared of what might be next.”
I had a lot of trouble deciding on a favorite moment from this show, but ended choosing this moment between Elena and Gabi because of how it impacted me the first time I watched it, and how it helped me to understand a lot of what I was feeling in my own life. It just speaks so much to what a wonderful show this is, and though it is aimed at younger viewers even adults like me can take away new lessons when we watch it.
[image ID: A cartoonish drawing of Elena and Gabi sitting in the car looking at each other with serious expressions on their faces. Gabi is in the driver’s seat while Elena is in the passenger seat. The coloring, shading, and line work is all done in varying shades of orange and brown.]
