Don't remember if I ever posted this. In fact there are a lot of silly drawings like this I forgot to post to Tumblr simply because it was a Twitter shitpost. Original Image:

I have two questions have you ever drawn young Balthazar Bratt?

What is your despicable me movie rankings? Favorite to least favorite.

I have! Once, on paper not too long ago, but that one looks bad because it was a sketch and rushed. So here's him digitally instead. Movie rankings and also a lot of ranting if you are at all interested in some guys opinion on the internet about a bunch of baby movies:

This became longer than I thought Jesus Christ. Also this is all writen out of order and not corrected for the most part. Also it's very unorganized because I only wanted to talk about things to note. I could write SO much more but I'd rather keep all that in the Discord server...

1st: Despicable Me 3 Where do I even begin with this movie? Obviously if your favorite movie is below this one you either don't want to hear it or you are sitting at the edge of your seat to hear why I honest to god like this movie more than the others. Well either way here it is. It's the villain. WHAT??? Yes. Who knew the villain in a Despicable Me movie would be the best part of the movie? No but in all seriousness this movie is super messy for me. Again adding a new family member to the roster, Dru is a introduced immediately and I am immediately more invested than I was in the second movie. I love when writers make a character purely to contrast the protagonist and Dru, if not a little too much sometimes, is just exactly what I want in that trope. Where the 4th movie fails the 3rd succeeds with having Gru somewhat go back to villainy for a valid reason. Being motivated by his brother to teach him villainy which is awesome. Because again this movie is called "despicable me" it's a movie about a despicable guy doing despicable things. I cannot stress this enough with how poorly the 4th movie was written… Yes, Gru is a family man at the end of the day in this movie, barely doing anything that could be remotely counted as "despicable" but if not him than his brother adorably tries to fill in that gap in the franchise. This movie actually giving us information about Gru's family whilst at the same time having it be useful for the plot is just perfect. You know, basic writing.

Shit I don't like about this movie is the side plot Margo and Lucy. I get what they were trying to do with Lucy but it just really hard to watch. The end of the plot ultimately ends very nicely but I feel like we could have gotten there without accidentally getting your 12 year old daughter engaged. The big argument Gru and Dru had before the climax that ends up solving itself 5 minutes later really wasn't great either, I would have preferred if it was done after the climax maybe? The minions in this movie serve no real purpose other than to split up the main plot better, which they do fine enough. Them taking over the prison is funny and I like that Mel has a bond with Gru but again, valid arguments are made and solved with no real conflict or explanation. The minions are supposed to serve a villain to be happy, all of a sudden Mel has a vision of Gru whilst in the shower and all is fine and dandy? They get to do villainy with Dru at the end of the movie but that gets forgotten about in the very next installment.

Now time for the glazing, yeah? Bratt. The 80s guy, the South Park Randy Marsh guy, the ultimate nostalgia freak. Can I just say, this villain is underrated as hell and you are lying if you tell me he wasn't done dirty. The concept of a villain whom is stuck in the 80s because of his childhood as an actor is just such a cool fucking idea for a character in general dude. On top of that somehow getting fucking Trey Parker to voice him is just the cherry on top. Main complaint I've seen about Bratt is that he spends most of his time moping around in his base watching his own show for monolog sake which I 100% agree with… But really can you blame the guy? How many times have you watched your favorite movie? He robs France of it's jewels then fucks off to do nothing for most of the movie before finishing it off with peak. The robot fight is just perfect, I'm sorry. It's my favorite scene in the whole franchise and yes it has a lot to say in where I place this movie. The soundtrack slaps mega hard for that scene especially and of course you can't beat an 80s obsessed super villain without dancing to Modanna.

2nd: Despicable me 1

A classic. It's not controversial for me to say it's the most solid movie to ever come out of this franchise. It tops Rise for me quality wise simply because the movie was actually trying here. This movie actually cared to write a story that grips you by your legs and pulls you in. It want's you to care for these girls and this grumpy villain guy who is miserable. This for me truly is the only movie in the franchise that earns the name "despicable me" as here Gru is actually a villain. Not a dad, not a dad part time villain. An old cold hearted man who cares only for himself and finds joy in watching others be miserable. The minions in this movie aren't purely there just to take up screentime and be funny but are actually involved with the plot in a way that moves the plot forward. Gru steals the shrink ray twice and both times the minions are involved. Love Doctor Nefario as a side character too. While the fart jokes aren't my thing, his relationship with Gru makes him entertaining to watch.

Vector is great. I mean come on. He's just fantastic. For how much I glaze the 4th and 3rd villain, Vector is a genuinely great one. He is an active threat to Gru and his mission. Hell the movie even has the balls to throw a curve ball at you halfway through the movie to reveal that the bank of evil CEO was Vector's father making him an even bigger threat to Gru as a villain. Oh and also he's just funny? Like am I allowed to say that the Wii sports nerdy glasses guy is funny? He's so unserious yet so easily becomes a massive thorn in Gru's side which makes for peak funny. Overall this movie is still great for me. Quality wise it's the best movie that has come out of illuminations in my humble opinion but it gets beat by 3 simply because I am a bias, BUT! If you heard it from anyone you heard it from me, Despicable Me 1 is a good movie and I will die on that hill.

3rd: Despicable Me 2

A movie that I honest to god cannot memorize even if I remotely cared about the villain and the purple minions. It is leagues better than the 4th movie but is so incredibly mid for me that it ends up becoming forgettable even after rewatches. The AVL was by far the best thing they added to this movie and I wish they fleshed it out a bit more than they did. The introduction of an Anti Villain League is arguably what makes this universe interesting in my opinion. Even though I struggle to believe that they'd let villains like Scarlet overkill just chill in a giant obvious castle untouched, it makes it hard to believe that they are even remotely capable of capturing and containing any villain.

Overall though Lucy and Gru just steals the show for me. I adore their dynamic and she was designed so incredibly to contrast Gru's design. I love every scene with them, an honest to god good relationship that doesn't feel forced. As much as I hate giving protagonists lovers in sequels for no reason, this is an acceptation for me because it was executed well. The girls are fit into the story perfectly if not a little lop sided. Agnes being adorably the main plot device for Gru and Lucy to start bonding. I also like that Lucy isn't a one note female love interest. She is actually badass as fuck and hands Gru his ass immediately upon greeting him which is just great. I also love that she is revealed to be new to her job as an agent but still excels at it. Margo again goes through the most trauma this movie which for some reason becomes a pattern in the next one.

El Macho is fine but his chicken being more memorable than him really just explains all my feelings about him. I think that despite him being a massive stereotype he's done well enough to be passable. Him being a washed up villain under cover makes sense for the movie but he doesn't hit as well as I want him to. He's not threatening unless he's backed up by his minions. The scene with him in his early days is the best scene of him imo since it gives you a better idea of what kind of wacky villains exist in this universe. It's so over the top and flashy I can't help but love it. Doctor Nefario leaving Gru for El Macho actually makes sense and is something I really wish they did for the minions in the third movie.

4th: Despicable Me 4 (Ironic I know) As much as I love the villain in the 4th one for all the wrong reasons, the writing in this movie especially is just abysmal… It feels extremely bloated, rushed, poorly put together and overall just a slog to get through. I dislike the trope so many writers feel they need to take with protagonists in sequels which is to give them a random new family member for the movie to focus on. Granted that's been in all the Despicable Me movies but at least those movies were consistent. The characters that were introduced in the movies prior had something to do in the new one. Despicable Me 4 on the other hand, introduces a new family member at the very start of the movie and leaves Dru at the very end with around 3 or 4 seconds of background screentime. In Despicable Me 4 Lucy and the girls have jack shit to do similarly to the fucking villain because we have to give the screentime to the Mega Minions and Poppy whom I'm sure will get a spin-off in the future. Don't even get me started on the Mega Minions… Good God I hate these guys so much. Illuminations wanted to show off their cool new line of merchandise pumping minions that were in the movie specifically to beat the villain but ending up getting sloppy seconds because of this odd cross way point in the climax where everything had to wrap up all at once. It feels like the writers forgot they even existed for half the fucking movie and I wouldn't be surprised if they were. After all they are minions, Illumination's sweet angels whom can't do no wrong when it comes to making successful merch. The minions in general are all just here to do their usual funny baby jokes even though it makes no logical sense for them to still hang with Gru now that he's a family man. This could have been soldved simply by giving Dru even a few minutes of screentime. I enjoyed the movie purely when the funny Will Ferrell cockbug was on screen, which feels like it's only four god blessed minutes of the movie by the way. The writers pushed him aside too for the 4 other plots the movie had to fill in. Maxime as a villain fails in every aspect of his character. If their aim was to make the villain of this movie pathetic and extremely one note, they succeeded. Exactly 7 minutes into the movie and Maxime gets contained by the AVL. He then spends the next 50 minutes crying and searching for Gru, only stopping once to pay for gas which he somehow also fails at. The one time he suceeds it's flat out handed to him on a silver platter. His misison was to aquire Jr and Jr just so happens to roll out the door unatended. Hell, he even fails to pick up the literal toddler. Needing to get his girlfriend to help him out which is just incredibly pathetic and I love it. On the topic of girlfriend, Valentina is for sure a character the writers surely didn't forget about whom you could completely remove from the movie and still have it be the exact same. The pieces were there but you can't do it all at once. I could rant about this movie forever because god knows I want to rewrite this movie with less plots. Also that fuckoff scene with all the characters dancing and singing at the end had me smiling from ear to ear for more than one reason. The fact that it say's "seriously high security prison on the wall" before the Mega Minions break in no sweat just to dance with everyone, they fucking rubber banded Jean Clawed's claw arm like you would with a lobster, the implication that Maxime and Gru make up on the spot after what is possibly 30+ years worth of rivalry between them just by singing a song together, the thought that MOST of these villains would beat the ever loving shit out of Gru in any other scenario. It's just such a dumb and amazing end to the movie that feels like it was made by fans. It's almost like they knew how bad the writing was and decided to give us fan service in the hopes that we'd forgive and forget.

-

And that's pretty much it. I have a big soft spot for the 3rd movie because it was the movie that got me into the franchise originally and you really just cannot beat Bratt as a villain for me. However I like all of the movies for what they offer. They never really miss with their villains even if some of them are underwhelming. Cheers if you for some reason stuck around to read all this. What are we doing with our lives, dawg? Oh and good luck closing this "read more" btw. You gotta scroll to the bottom for some reason.

They make me so happy :(

shout out to @ butchgromit on twitter for convincing me to post this here :D

[kermahillway]

Me flexing my headcanon that Maxime gets the strength bonuses of a cockroach so he can lift 30 times his own weight no problem no sweat on a good day.

[kermahillway]

It's gay month, expect more ship art...

[kermahillway]

Actually started thinking about him and Gru's paralels a lot a few days ago. I like the idea of Maxime seemingly having everything Gru doesn't have and more but still somehow ending up secretly unhappy deep inside. To have an entire family of villains but ending up being the ugly duckling due to his obssession with insects. Gru not having a villain family but has always wanted one, thus envying Maxime for having that support he never had. Support in general from his own parents or parent. Badly written or vaguely written characters like Maxime are always a draw for me becuase of stuff like this. You can write the entire character your way whilst still having it be entirely possible to be canon and I love seeing people's depiction of them.

Headcanon Maxime comes from an old rich villian family or something similar where everyone had such high standards for him. This explains why he’s such an overachiever, and also why he held a grudge against Gru for so long because Gru was the only one who dared go against someone of his “status” and still got away with it.

Anyways this was a test drawing to see how well I draw on phone but I wanted to share this hc so I thought I should post it

[kermahillway]

So been maining Egineer for a bit and have completely forgotten that I have the ability to draw him for real, so I did. I also read somewhere that people were in need of a more "evil" engi so I'll be working my way towards creating ideas for my blue and red engi. Mostly because I am a sucker for turning an otherwise genuine character into a monster. I'll talk more about it when I actually draw the damn thing. For now you get a practice drawing. :)

[kermahillway]

On a rainy day.

[kermahillway]

That time of the month again where I target specific people because funny.

[kermahillway]

Silly little study. I have a headcanon that Maxime learned to play guitar and bass in highschool and was skilled enough to play some serious riffs. Becoming Bratt's emergency contact made him come back to his former hobby since the man was obsessed with the same genre as he was.

A redraw of "The Scratched Universe" series on youtube. I love the horror element in this series to bits. This one scout in particular really scratched that itch I had (pun not intended.) Original:

💬 Just a Small Update, and a Big Thank You

Dear friends, kind hearts, and everyone who has stood with us,

When I first opened my heart to the world and shared our story, I never imagined the amount of love and solidarity we would receive. Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve now reached $12,837—a milestone that brings real light to some very dark days.

From the deepest corners of my heart, thank you.

💔 A Journey of Loss, but Also of Strength

As many of you know, I’ve lost 25 of my loved ones during this devastating war. That grief lives with me every single day. It’s in the silence that once held laughter, in the empty spaces where we once gathered as a family.

But through your help, I’ve also felt something else: hope. And that hope is priceless.

“21/Oct/2023 Before It Reached Us: The Day Our Neighbor’s House Was Destroyed” A quiet moment of fear, filmed just before everything changed.

“22/Oct/2023 The Morning After: Our Family Home in Ruins” This is what was left behind after the bombing of our home.

🌿 What Life Looks Like for Us Now

Despite everything, we’re still here. Still surviving. Still hoping.

But things have only gotten harder.

The war has returned, more brutal than before—and for over a month now, Gaza has been completely sealed off. No food is coming in. No medical supplies. No aid. No trade. No one is allowed to leave, and no one is allowed to enter.

We’re trapped.

🏚 We live with the fear of tomorrow, every single day. Airstrikes, drones, and the uncertainty of what might happen next. 👨‍👩‍👧 Our family is forever changed—we haven’t just lost people; we’ve lost pieces of ourselves. 📉 Basic needs go unmet—even clean water feels like a luxury now. Medicines, if they exist at all, are unreachable.

And yet…

Your support reminds us that we’re not forgotten. It reminds us that someone, somewhere, is still listening. That someone still cares. That we’re not completely alone in this.

Every message. Every share. Every dollar. It tells us: You’re walking this road with us. And that gives us the strength to keep going.

💖 What You Can Do

If you’ve already donated—thank you beyond words. If you can share our story again, it could reach someone who can help.

Even $5 means warmth, comfort, and a chance to breathe a little easier.

✨ Why It All Matters

This isn’t just about reaching a fundraising goal. It’s about surviving war with dignity. It’s about believing in tomorrow. It’s about making sure my daughter grows up knowing that the world did not look away.

Thank you for your kindness, patience, and belief in our humanity. You’ve helped me find my voice—and I will use it to keep hope alive.

🙏 From the Heart: A Quiet Apology

There’s something I need to say—something that’s been on my heart for some time.

When I first began sharing our story, I didn’t know what the right way was. I was scared, grieving, and trying to protect my family in any way I could. I reached out to many people, hoping someone, anyone, would see us. In that process, I now realize I may have overstepped, and I might have made some feel overwhelmed.

If that happened, I am truly sorry.

Please believe me when I say it was never out of disregard or pushiness. It came from a place of fear—fear of being forgotten, fear of not being able to keep my family safe, fear of watching everything I love slip away in silence.

I’m learning as I go. I’ve slowed down. I’m more mindful now, trying to share our journey in a way that feels respectful of the space and hearts of those listening.

If my words ever came at the wrong time, or in the wrong way, I hope you can understand where they came from—and I hope you can forgive me.

Thank you for seeing past my mistakes. Thank you for still being here. It means more than I can ever explain.

With love and endless gratitude, Mosab and family ♥️

[kermahillway]

How much money for a un-watermarked version of the Scudworth body pillow commission you made a while ago. I’m making a shrine for him and this is the final puzzle piece 😞🙏

Sorry I haven't gotten to your question, anon. I never really check my messages or asks at all. Honestly just 5$. I'll put it up on my Ko-Fi.

[kermahillway]

Don't think I ever posted this drawing. I was never happy with how it came out.

[kermahillway]

Been practicing a lot with my anatomy and body hair lately. Thought I might put everything I know into something I can actually post. Bratt being my guineapig as always.

[kermahillway]

Trying to make him less lame lmao

[kermahillway]

Urgent appeal for help 🙏🥺🥺🥺

✅️Vetted by @gazavetters , my number verified on the list is ( #538)

Update// Israel will occupied the rest of Gaza and will have no place to go to. Also hunger is killing us slowly here. Can you imagine that the flour is 600$ for one bag. My family is 8 person and now we don't find anything to eat please help my family and support us. Everything is so expensive and unbelievable 💔💔💔.Guys we need you in this harsh conditions I'm begging you. 😭😭

I’m Inge Kassab 22, dental student in Alazhar university Gaza, I have finished three years of my studies at the university and unfortunately my university has completely destroyed due to the war in Gaza and I can’t go abroad the city to continue my studies because all boarders around us were closed and I forced to live her under bombing.

For almost a whole year and half I have been living in Gaza, where wardestruction and chaos spread everywhere in Gaza.

I am currently in Deir El Balah after I have displaced from my city Gaza , trying to save money to rebuild home to live in a safe place with my family. My father is an old man who lost his work and my mom also lost her work. I need you to support me and my family to build our life again.

Because of the war, it has become impossible to provide money to live, buy food, clean and drinkable water, and education here. This money will be used to provide what the war has destroyed for us, and also to provide a place to stay, especially since we are now approaching the winter season, where we need winter clothes, repair the damage to the house, and provide what protects us from the cold and hunger of winter.

Gaza has become a place full of destruction and is no longer suitable for any opportunity here. Diseases have spread in the Gaza Strip, especially those skin diseases for which there is no treatment due to the war. The water here has also become polluted water and has spread, and there is not enough food for everyone here.

I created this campaign to ask for help and support from you. As a human being who lived an entire year and half under the flames of war, destruction, and tragedies, I am addressing you and asking you for help, to help me get a chance to survive war, death, and hunger with my family, and to start from scratch. A new journey of living and recovering from those traumas and painful memories that we experienced in the war. So we stayed in the Gaza Strip under the genocide to live in difficult conditions and complete our studies with the least available means. Before the war began, I was at the beginning of the clinical stage and the beginning of my work on patients, but the war came and destroyed all my dreams, as I lost my university and my dental tools, which cost my father more than $1,000, and I lost my future. But now I am trying to return again in order to complete the number of study hours and graduate. Therefore, I need your help to complete what remains, as there is only very little left to graduate and go out to work and help patients.

This money will also help me to cover our living expenses and buy food in Gaza. Buying food and groceries in Gaza is something we cannot afford every day because of the high prices, and there is no opportunity to work here. The money will also be used to buy available cooking gas, wood and firewood which will also be used to provide fires for cooking and also to keep warm from the cold at night in the coming days.  Also I want to build my own clinic after graduation.

I hope you will hear my voice and help me get a chance to evacuate from here, and a chance to evacuate from Gaza if we can . 🥺❤️

So Please Help Me to Put (Dr.) before my name please make this post viral 🥺❤️‼️

Inge Kassab.
