I Find It Fascinating, And Perhaps A Bit Frightening, That So Many People Are Attracted To Someone Who

Guess what I found today

THE GOOD BRUSHHHHHHH

I have been looking for the right brush to do the lineart for this piece for months!! I’m so excited to finally get to work on the lines and colors for this!!!

Poor, frightened little bean :(

bouncey bouncey bouncey

We love us a clean-cut man ;3

Sooooo I watched Logan last night. Have a WIP of the Daddy-Daughter Badass Squad!!!

Some refreshing, summertime drinks :)

As an irl emotional support human who also suffers from severe anxiety, I can confirm that adventures are what I was built for! It’s less scary when you have to do scary things with people who know what they’re doing, and it can make you braver in the moment because secretly, somewhere deep inside you, you know that you can do the scary thing! And working alongside people who also know you can do it, and encourage and depend upon you to do it will help you overcome your fear! Now as far as the emotional supporting, I’ve only ever done it platonically, so I can’t speak to how important the more private aspect can be. But I do know that providing people with support in the form of help with household work, external opinions on their schoolwork, company during a time when they just need someone in the room with them, a play partner to solve puzzles or strategize against, an organizational aide, good and thoughtful conversation, and someone simply to share a meal with can go miles in terms of helping their mental health. And yours too! If you are a person who enjoys doing these things for your people, then this role in their lives is as beneficial to you as it is to them. So don’t discount yourself as an emotional support human just because you suffer from crippling anxiety. I’ll bet if you examined your life, you’d find yourself already doing these things in perilous situations <333

Among the Bad Batch, we see a lot of the members actually fulfilling some of this role for each other: Crosshair and Echo running interference between Tech and Wrecker, Echo caring about the cleanliness of their shared living space, Hunter quietly keeping track of the medals the Batch has won together, Wrecker helping to regulate and vent emotions at the loss of Crosshair and Tech’s accidental apathy, Tech praising Omega for small victories, Omega’s ever-ready forgiveness especially when someone lets her down, Crosshair being physically present to Echo when the battle turned bad for them on Voss. All of this is emotional support human behavior.

I do think they could absolutely benefit from having a dedicated non-combatant who is the Emotional Support Human who wears the reflective vest and whose job it is to lay their head in their laps and help them through whatever rough stuff is going on this time. They have a lot of destructive behaviors that the Batch really aren’t equipped to handle for one-another. Like Hunter’s personality-shifting confrontation anxiety (I suspect Crosshair may have actually helped him with this one), Omega’s inappropriate selflessness, and Echo’s survivors’ guilt. There’s definitely still a place for us timid, anxious beans who just wanna give our favorite fictional characters some care and attention <333

Every time i think how fun it would be to go on adventurers with the batch my real life anxeity humbles me real quick. Like gurl your hands start to tremble everytime you have to drive somewhere unknown on your own, good luck on fighting with Gulags

Could encircle this silly little dorito waist

The Kiners made that one post about the Bad Batch playing cards and it's been living in my head rent-free since, so...

Details:

We're going to pretend that Tech and Wrecker don't have sharper lineart than the other two, because I don't know how to fix it without redoing the lines completely and I do NOT have the energy for that

Wrecker's winning! Crosshair is helping. Mostly.

I didn't know what cards look like in the GFFA, so I made them blue, because, well, everything else is.

Cross has scratches on his face because he's a little menace that gets himself into fights before Hunter can stop him

I want to squish Wrecker's cheeks

Tech is eyeballing Cross because they had an argument about whether something was in the rules (spoiler alert: it probably wasn't)

This took me about 15 hours, I'm going to go and sleep, enjoy

shhh pretend im not here so early in da morning

But i recently came across this (instagram) and couldn’t help but think of papa!könig and baby peggy 🥹🥹

Sometimes König just needs a little extra weight for his workout. And if it makes Peggy laugh, then that’s a happy coincidence (he definitely doesn’t do it because he loves to make her laugh. Nope!)

Terrible Google Translate translation: “Snail is helping with the training!”

This was mean! How am I supposed to do homework when I'm crying??

well that fucking hurts
