OOC. I think I might put Arnold on hiatus??? I’m not really feeling his muse anymore and there seems to be little to no interest. I’m sorry for anyone who was looking forward to RP with me & football head. Maybe someday again? I still don’t know what I’m going to do. In the meantime find me over at @tiitaniumxwill

she straightened her hair at the mention of it being about a girl. she may have never had a boyfriend and kissed once (on the playground but it still counted) but bubbles was strangely good at giving advice about romance. “well, did you do something or say something before you left?” if he didn’t say anything at all before leaving, she would understand what this girl was upset about. if he said something, she wanted to know. maybe that was a contributing factor to why she didn’t want to talk now.

       “UH--” Arnold HESITATES, not knowing what to say to Bubbles. He TECHNICALLY did apologize and said his goodbyes before LEAVING for San Lorenzo, but there’s a part of him that always knew that that wouldn’t be enough. ESPECIALLY not for Helga-- someone who had waited and wanted him for SO LONG. “Yes??? I mean no??? It’s COMPLICATED and I’m an IDIOT, Bubbles.” He groans as he slides his back down a wall all the way DOWN to the floor.  “She’s going to HATE me FOREVER now.”

“Yeah… I can only imagine how that is. I’m sorry, Arnold,” Helga answered, frowning for a moment before she finally registers his next question. “Eh, I’ve been alright. Miriam’s finally been sober for a couple of years and I think she and Big Bob are finally going to get a divorce. Olga’s been keeping in touch more often. Other than that not much to report.”

      Arnold’s focus is LOST for a couple of seconds... he tries to gain composure over his previously bad mood but he’s grateful that Helga’s been less RUDE as of usual. “Oh-- really?” He asks, surprised more about the divorce thing than anything else. “That’s good. Same for Olga-- are you two closer now? That must be nice.”

Anyone still interested in RPing with Arnold?

[shxrtmann-blog]

Hey All! I was once again stuck with inspiration from tumblr, as I am “trying” to be more active over there. I love the idea of Arnold flirting with Helga when their older but Helga has just gotten her hopes up so many times that she’s given up and therefore become just as dense as Arnold in the romance department.

This was based off of this post

Let me know what you think and ENjoy!!

        Arnold follows the blue puff-- desperate to have someone to VENT to. He was usually Hillwood’s Top Person to go to when someone was in trouble so who does HE go to? “It’s about... a girl.” He mentions, as if afraid that mentioning her name is going to impart her wrath on him. “I came back from San Lorenzo after years of being gone and... she doesn’t want to TALK to me. She doesn’t even LOOK at me. And it HURTS-- it hurts so much.” Arnold says, voice lowering as his eyes look at the floor. “I just want to make things RIGHT again.”

        “I–uh–” Arnold starts, scratching the back of his head as he finds himself at a LOST for words. He needed help and he needed it FAST– and Bubbles was one of the only people he knew who held the same sort of SENSIBILITIES that she did. “I think I hurt someone’s FEELINGS– someone I care about A LOT. I need help to see how I can make it RIGHT.”

at least he wasn’t bringing up that she looked, in her opinion, a mess. her glasses were big and thick (she was practically blind without them or her contacts) and she was wearing gym shorts. but maybe that was the one time she was glad someone didn’t notice what she was wearing. she flew down the stairs, concern all over her face. “come on, let’s sit down. i want you to tell me everything.” she led him to the couch and sat down herself, patting the seat next to her.

I felt the need to color this and then make it a gif just because.

[shxrtmann-blog]

Decided to color the Superman AU sketches from a while ago b/c I really liked them. Shout out once again to @luvtowritefics247official for putting this idea into my head (I’m still looking forward to the fic you were working on btw!).

I’m Lila.

This is based off of a video clip I saw once where a girl was legit doing squats while holding another girl like this, I just don’t know where the clip is anymore b/c it’s been forever, but it was awesome and had to draw this.

Also you can’t convince me that somewhere out there there isn’t a plaid beach towel and that Arnold wouldn’t own one. I refuse to believe it.

He needed help and he needed it FAST-- and Bubbles was one of the only people he knew who held the same sort of SENSIBILITIES that she did. “I think I hurt someone’s FEELINGS-- someone I care about A LOT.

@shxrtmann

she didn’t expect any visitors this late. if she did, she wouldn’t have changed into her pajamas and would’ve kept in her contacts. but at least it wasn’t someone who would judge. bubbles stood up by the railing of the stairs that overlooked the first level. “hey, arnold. it’s nice to see you.” now came the question that was probably on professor’s mind when he opened the door. “what are you exactly doing here? i thought we didn’t have plans until tomorrow.”

Oh. Feelings. Right, she should ask about those. “Do you…want to talk about it?” she probed, blue eyes focusing on the blond boy beside her with a raised eyebrow. Helga was getting better at handling feelings nowadays, especially with Arnold’s help, but that didn’t mean she was totally over being awkward. That just came with the territory with her.

     “Nah, it’s FINE-- I just...” He starts, and yet he doesn’t finish. There’s something off about all of this-- about Arnold being back after so many years of being gone-- and yet things have CHANGED and some HAVEN’T. Sometimes he feels so out of place that it’s hard not to pick at his own skin. “It’s nothing big. Just not used to the ones I used to know being mostly GONE.” He admits, and it somehow feels like DEFEAT-- acknowleding this truth. “But enough about ME-- tell me about YOU. How have you been?”

I might have something that would work.
