This was supposed to be a one panel thing. It kind of went over board XD I wanted to practice with Firealpaca and drawing mechanical things. Ended up drawing Overwatch characters again
A second part is planned soon ~
I have a few prints up on Society 6. I will be posting more soon. I also take commissions. Message me!
i hate the trope of kids giving their favorite stuffed animal to a younger child as a sign of compassion and coming of age, as if this is something that should be expected of kids as they grow up
im 22 and i dont care who you are you’ll have to pry my ikea shark out of my cold dead hands
I can’t remember the name of the study, but there was a theory, supported by pretty good evidence, that if you have your comforter, be it blanket, plush, pacifier, whatever, taken away when you’re not ready to give it up, even if you’re a dinky little kid, it can have really long lasting effects. People who kept their comforters into adulthood were less likely to smoke, drink or do drugs, tended to have better family relations and home lives etc, while those that saw their comforter removed or destroyed were more likely to be drawn to more serious “comforts” elsewhere. The more extreme the removal, the more extreme the result. Typically.
We learn at our own pace to make and break connections and emotional ties, and the situation is forced upon us, we seek comfort. But whoa wait, you can’t possibly have comfort anymore, you’re five. You’re a big kid now.
So when parents are forcing you to “grow up” by tearing the only comfort in the world from you, they could actually be messing you up big time.
In psychology they’re called “transitional objects” and they help the neurobiological process of helping children learn to internalize the experience of being loved and cared for, which is an essential part of learning to regulate your emotions. They are REALLY important.
I wonder what it means psychologically that I’ve started getting a few more for myself?
Well, there’s a process we call “re-parenting yourself” where you give yourself the love you missed out on in childhood, and thereby start to heal the pain you’ve carried since then. And using childhood comfort objects can be part of that.
Oh..
Oh my god…
In the year of the lord 2018 our grown asses start healing.
my brother kept his yellow blanket until by high school, it was basically just a giant hole. one giant hole made out of yellow fabric. he took it with him to college. he took it with him when he graduated and moved to florida.
This past christmas, my parents gave him another yellow blanket. he took it back with him and now his yellow blankets are friends.
Let’s destigmatize this. Anything it takes for you to feel okay and function in the world is okay. The world is literally on fire, and whatever gets you through without being self destructive or self sabotaging is a good thing. Who gives a shit if you’re 30 and sleep with a stuffed animal?
I’m inching towards 40 and travel with my green teddy bear
Memento Mori 💀⌛️

This was the first piece of art to really bring me tears. What an incredible piece and congrats for being on stream :DD memento mori, my friend 🖤🤍
It must be terrifying, the foreboding possibility that someday your body may forget what it is.

I missed drawing my boys, so I lazily worked on this the past few days. (Saucy alternative is over on my twitter.)
Thank u jeff for this meal.
Ahhh! I’m sorry about this crappy translation! I’m not a professional (well duh, it’s obvious) and I tried to translate it as close to its original meaning…. ((´д｀))
I’m not sure if “captain” is the right word either….
