shortaki chat fic series

OMG!!! This story made me laugh SOOO hard!!! I love this story a lot!! It is one of my favorites!!! I could just picture Arnold's reaction being like, "Helga likes...ME?!?!?? 😳" Shortaki is one of my favorite ships!! Thank you so much reinamycloud for letting me draw some fanart of your wonderful story!!!

when you write a fic and then it kinda happens to you actually

Arnold learns to juggle

I HATE AND love making free animations cause this was meant to be an easy juggle animation practice but then I was like, what if then he gets more conident? What if he messes up? What if after he messes up, he looks shyly to the camara? What i Helga appears at the end AND AGHHHHHH I HAVE TO TAKE CARE O Y HAND BUT I WANNA SEE IT NOW SO I HAVE TO DO IT

Excuse me while I gush about Helga Pataki for a moment.

Beyond her ability to write poetry and her advanced vocabulary, here are some other reasons why Helga is far more gifted than anyone gives her credit for:

- She wrote, directed, composed, and choreographed a musical (Downtown As Fruits)

- She could have won the Tri-City Spelling Bee if she hadn’t thrown it to spite her father (Spelling Bee)

- She dances on pointe in ballet, despite that technique being reserved for girls who are at least 11 years of age (The Big Scoop)

- She tested the highest on the aptitude test out of everyone else in the class, and possibly the school, seeing as it’s said that her results haven’t been seen since her older sister Olga took the test.  According to Mr. Simmons (who at the time believed it was Harold who scored the highest) she ‘can consider a multi-faceted career in international business affairs, political science, and Elizabethan poetry.’ (The Aptitude Test)

- In the individual qualification round for the All-City Academic Competition Helga ends up in the final round with Phoebe.  Though Phoebe is the smartest in the class, Helga only trails by three points: 46-49.  This before she asks Phoebe to take a dive so that she can win.  Meaning Helga was able to answer trivia on par with Phoebe, despite never studying. (Phoebe Takes the Fall)

- She memorized the entire part of Juliet from ‘Romeo & Juliet’ in one evening (School Play)

- She has an astute knowledge of art and is able to articulately critique it (Helga on the Couch)

Let me remind you all that this girl is NINE YEARS OLD.  She’s in the FOURTH GRADE.

THE MUMMY RETURNS (2001) >> Costumes dir. Stephen Sommers costume design by John Bloomfield

The way to a woman’s heart is her stomach problems. 😂

NOTE: The background changes too! Take a look!

I wanted to play with Helga’s constipation issues, & who to include but none other than her partner?

Healthy relationships I’ve seen in my circle of friends & family include comfortability with zero secrets; secrets like hiding farting, periods or stomach problems from your partner. What adds to the intimacy is when the partner takes it on themself to address their partner’s discomfort. Though funny, it’s very endearing to observe/hear.

I had a rough draft of this before Shortaki week, but I wanted to edit it. Which I did. A ton. That & I didn’t want to make this a Shortaki-only account. That’s enough rambling from me!

Shout out to my sibling & sibling-in-law for helping settle what Arnold would call Helga. And of course thanks to my brother/editor! Thanks for reading!

Two to Tango

Comic I made for Shortaki Week 2023 for a series I had no idea was gonna blow me away on a full rewatch…  I still can’t believe Hey Arnold has future lore & Helga almost had a teen spinoff…and she still can! If you want to see more of “The Patakis” era of Hey Arnold get greenlit like fans did for “Hey, Arnold! The Jungle Movie,” sign the petition here! (x)

In case you didn’t know, teen Helga and her family were supposed to have a spin-off years ago called “The Patakis.” If you’d like to see it greenlit, consider signing the petition at https://tinyurl.com/operationthepatakis!

The song Olga played on the piano was Mephisto Waltz No. 1 S. 514. Don’t be fooled because it says waltz!

Lastly, to the Golden Children out there, you are more than enough as you are! Don’t take others’ expectations of you as yours.

Day 2: Routine

Helga’s routine the one we all know and love. Tomorrow won’t be a comic and is on paper 😉. Stay tuned!
