Todays Little Guy is one we all know very well. It’s the player characters from the hit game Among Us.
Among Us is, as we know, an extremely popular IP. The iconic player characters have been turned into memes, plushies, shirts and much more. During the peak of Among Us’ popularity, it was hard not to see it somewhere online. The games success can be attributed to its easy party style multiplayer gameplay, and large youtubers/streamers playing it. However, I think that the design of the player characters is also a huge factor in the games success. So what about this design is so successful?
The first most important thing about these astronauts is their simplicity. When it comes to characters that will be animated, simpler designs are much less time consuming and easier to animate. Additionally, simplicity lends to easy recreation. The player characters are made of just a few simple shapes, and so they are easily drawn and replicated, even by children. I couldn’t count the amount of times i’ve seen these guys drawn on windows, homework, or graffitied on walls. This simplicity also lends itself to recognizability. Even just the silhouette of the character is recognizable, despite its only defining features being a few bumps.
However, in game these characters allow for a variety of customization options, creating a larger sense of individuality. Different colors and props imply different personalities, and lead to the creation of a cast of characters, despite them all being built on the same base. I remember lots of people making Among Us ocs/sonas back when it was really popular.
Despite how memed they are, I still think these designs are very cute, and I think if they were real you could squeeze them like stress balls. Certified little guys imo. Analyzing their design is a great lesson in the power of simplicity.
Hi! I'm Ruben, and this is my art blog! I mostly post silly OCs and original stuff, or whatever I happen to be hyperfixated on at the time! Read on to find out more!
---
About
I am Ruben, but most people call me Bean, and I also go by Ben - so feel free to use any of those names, I'll respond to them all!
I'm 27, Non-Binary, and I use They/Them pronouns. I've been doing art pretty much all my life, and I do it somewhat professionally. I enjoy all types of art, but my mains are drawing and animation - but don't be surprised if there are some crafts or other medias here and there too!
I am autistic, and have severe social anxiety (among other disabilities), so please be patient with me if I take a while to respond, have an under/overreaction to something, or do not understand something right away! I also tend to forget things a lot, so you can always give me a reminder, if it has been a while - just please do not spam me!
I love getting asks about my characters, and AUs, even if I cannot answer them all - I have many askblogs for more specific characters/settings, which are linked below if you wanna check them out!
Please keep in mind that some of my characters are villainous, aggressive or just plain mean, and any actions or responses may be rude, violent or upsetting! When I respond in character, I am just playing a character, and their actions do not reflect me, and should not be taken personally!
DMs I am more hesitant about bc of the mentioned anxiety, so if you wish to DM me, please have a reason to be doing so - I don't tend to respond to just 'hi', and asking for free art will probably end up in a block. I also do not RP at all, so please do not ask.
I tend to vent a lot! I use art as a form of catharsis and to avoid hurting myself irl, so there might randomly be some upsetting content posted, but I do tag these with 'vent tag', and the appropriate CW tags - please see below for them
My art (and characters) is not for free use! So please do not repost, edit, trace my art, and please do not use it in videos/games, or for AI bots/databases. If you see my art somewhere, that I did not approve of, and regardless if it is credited or not, please let me know!
That being said, if you really want to use my art somewhere, please ask first! Usually the use as an icon, or in a silly meme, is fine - just ask first!
I don't do requests for things I am not interested in, and I probably will not draw your OC for free. I do take suggestions for things I am interested in, and might do the occasional art trade with mutuals/friends. I do also take commissions (but my sheet needs a big update, so prices may change soon).
I switch sonas around a lot! Bean is my main one (in a semi-realistic style and a more cartoonish one), but do not be surprised if I am sometimes depicted as a furry or a monster now and then.
These sonas are also both a representation of me, and characters in my stories. I try to define when I am 'in-character' and 'out-of-character', so please keep this in mind when commenting/asking.
Fanart of my characters and AUs is okay, and always appreciated! Please try to represent the characters(s) the best you can, and ask before doing making significant design changes (such as a 'Genderbend' or 'Species Swap' etc). Again, I am forgetful, so if I do not acknowledge it within a week or so, please give me a nudge!
I don't mind minors following, as most of my stuff is SFW, but please keep in mind that I am an adult, and may upload an occasional suggestive post or joke. These are also tagged as needed.
Good golly this is so long, but I think that's it for this part
---
Interests
I am currently mainly into Pizza Tower, and the OCs I have created for it, so that is mostly what you will see at the moment! - I have currently two AUs I am focused on, mainly the one where it's just my interpretation of the game (no name for this one yet), and then my secondary called 'Cheeseshop AU', with Brick the Rat as the protag, and species are swapped! (So Brick is human, Peppino and Gustavo are rats etc)
I also have a lot of original stories, characters and concepts, and will post those too! I tend to jump from idea to idea and back again, so do not mind if I am talking about one genre in one post, and then it completely changes the next post. (Although most are just slice-o-life with fantasy elements)
Other interests are: FNAF (previous hyperfixation, kinda comes and goes and may have occasional posts here), Bugsnax (also a previous hyperfixation, mainly when the game came out but not so much any more), Pokemon (not a hyperfixation, I just think they're neat), and... That's pretty much it, that I can think of! I don't tend to get into fandoms much, and I just focus on one thing for years haha
I am also not really looking for other things to be interested in, so please do not take it personally if I do not look at or get into anything suggested to me.
---
Content Warnings
As mentioned before, I vent a lot, but I also enjoy drawing some body horror or gore for fun, if the mood strikes! These are tagged simply as '[thing]' for blocking purposes, but please let me know if there are tags I have missed!
Common, will not be tagged: Mild Body Horror (things like extra eyes or limbs, or slightly melty people etc), Scars, Foul Language, Depictions of Panic Attacks/Meltdowns, Use of Caps and Glitched/Zalgo text
Uncommon, will be tagged: Eye Strain, Alcohol Use, Smoking (mostly regular cigarettes, but maybe weed too), Partial Nudity (bare chests mostly), Mildly Suggestive Jokes or Imagery, Emetophobia/Vomit, Blood, Violence, Moderate to Severe Body Horror (like excessive amounts of extra eyes or teeth, beings fused together etc), Guns, Self-Harm, Suicidal Thoughts, Gore, Implied Cannibalism, Implied Death
Rare, will be tagged, and under a read-more cut: Very Suggestive Jokes or Imagery, On Screen Cannibalism, On Screen Death
---
Tags and Other Blogs/Links
My text post/ask tag is 'bean talks too much' and OC tags are 'OC: [OC's name]'. Other tags are for organisation, or just me talking to myself - and I do that a lot.
I am SmallTimidBean pretty much everywhere, although I mainly only post here, my characters to my Toyhou.se or ARPG stuff on my DeviantArt - and I have a Kofi, if you want to send a tip my way! (Not necessary, but very much appreciated if you do!)
I do have a Discord, but I am not comfortable giving it out unless we have interacted at least a few times! If you do find it by chance, please do not just send a friend request, I am unlikely to accept it for my own comfort.
My main blog, and the one that I follow from, is @smalltimidbean-reblogs - mainly just reblogs of art I like, animals or funny posts.
My currently active askblog is @ask-the-totally-real-peppino - an ask blog for Pep (my version of Fake Peppino from Pizza Tower)
I have several other askblogs, and just blogs in general, but I will put them under cut, as most are inactive or plain dead (I just keep them for archival sake, or the rare chance I may return to them)
@ask-the-music-man - Inactive FNAF askblog for Music Man, DJ Music Man and other FNAF characters, might return to it at some point but not right now
@we-bear-wicked-smiles - Inactive FNAF askblog for Nightmare and the other Nightmare animatronics, might also return to it but also not right now
@ask-lionel-ottaviani - Inactive askblog for a monster security guard named Lionel, will probably never return to it bc the group it was a part of disbanded, and I have bad memories with it - however Lionel and his friends show up here and an AU version where he is human feature on the Music Man blog
@bensnax - Inactive Bugsnax blog, was mostly reblogs, but I did intend to post my Grumpus characters there too (I think there's like one post of some of them) - probably will not return any time soon, as Bugsnax is not a major interest right now
@ask-a-genectric - Inactive Pokemon askblog for a Gengar/Manectric hybrid called Lexus, would like to return to it but unlikely
@the-bashful-skuntank - Inactive Pokemon askblog for a Skuntank named Fleur, would also like to return to it but unlikely
@thedailyzangoose - Previously a daily blog for the Pokemon Zangoose, but was revamped into an askblog for a troop of Zangoose characters, inactive and unlikely to return to it
@little-beast-bakery - A suggestion based blog to create little characters for people to adopt, never got off the ground and probably never will
I have a few other blogs that were OC specific askblogs, but I never posted to them, so no reason to link them. I did also have two NSFW blogs that are still technically up, but were nuked after the NSFW ban of 2018 - I am not going to link them for obvious reasons, but if you do somehow find them, keep it to yourself please!
Okay, this is very long, but I think that is it! Thank you for reading if you are down here!
HELLO YOU GUYS, I WENT BACK TO ONE OF MY CONFORT FANDOMS, CAPTAIN TSUBASA!!!!! BIG TEXT ABOUT SONA, OCS AND HCs AHEAD, LET'S GO!!
Tw mention of the f slur and silly nsfw art!
★

I present you: my sona 😏
HANAKO MOMONOI, LET'S TALK A LITTLE ABOUT HER SHALL WE? :3
SO, Hanako is a mixed Venezuelan/japanese girl, she has been in the nankatsu school since elementary, usually drawing, writing or doing all kinds of weeb, friki stuff. She was a pretty average individual 'til the shutetsu boys were transfered, her whole world change since that!
Hanako got a silent and shy crush on Hajime Taki, but she couldn't grow so close to him 'cause of being a girl (and not having access to the team football practices), SO she ended making up a BIG ASS LIE to be with her crush, she made herself an alterego called Hanato, a self claimed "brother" who practiced football and was really really good at it (Hanako didn't do any sports lol 😭)
Hanato visited after classes and when the team was practicing, SUSPICIOUSLY when Hanako was already home 🙄. Hanato's fame with football in Venezuela would cause a bit of a stir among the boys, more importantly, in Taki; who became very close with Hanato (and with Hanako via chat messages and occasional friend dates, all by Hanato's lectures about his "sister" lol) Even developing somewhat confusing feelings towards him, due to his somewhat androgynous beauty and the way he sold himself as a master.
This triggered Taki wanting to be trained by Hanato, insisting very much to him, to the point he couldn't resist more and ask him directly to train him out.
GOSH DUDE PLEASE SHOW ME THE TRICKS YOU ALWAYS TALK ABOUT, YOUR TECHNIQUES, EVERYTHING!!! IDK I'LL SUCK YOUR DICK IF YOU DO IT OR SOMETHING, BUT PLEASE TRAIN ME!!
This encounter obviously got Hanako REALLY nervous, so much that she ended up accidentally revealing her identity to Taki.
-Real girly voice- WHAAAAAT???!!! NO DON'T!!! I'LL SUCK YOURS FIRST, YOU SILLY F*G!!!
This obviously let Taki very confused, but after talking things a bit this little secret became mutual between then, being used as a excuse for getting together more often and for Hanako entering to watch private practices of the team. This persisted for two years, then at 18 years old Hanato "had to go back to Venezuela for proffesional football training", this also lend space for Hanako and Taki to make their one year relationship public!
Oh and also the whole Hanato thing made Hanako realize that she was genderqueer 😭

18+ SILLY SKETCH AND HC AHEAD!!!!!!

You still here?

Oh and their first time was in one of the schools bathroom/showers. Taki also liked both ways since he knew about the lie, SO he had no problem in letting her top!
- H-hey... When you said you got "many plans" for our two years aniversary I didn't think being fucked by my other 'skin' was one of them...
- nngh WELL YES IT WAS, I DON'T SEE ANY PROBLEM. NOW PLEASEEE DON'T BREAK YOUR CHARACTER, IS NOT ENJOYABLE IF YOU DO-!!
.
.
.
Now onto some big thing!! I was drawing all my ocs onto a lineup, here's a wip!
There they are!! Hanako and Yui! (The short haired girl)
Yui is an oc!! She's a girl interested in tarot and gossiping!! She owns a gossip blog and also knows a lot of witchcraft and such. She's kinda fancy, like Rarity! She's also friends with Hanako and Masao Tachibana's girlfriend! But that's a history for another post.
I'll say goodbye for now! Please have this silly meme in order tho thank you for reading this! ^w^
I saw a twt post from someone saying how maybe gen z is so “””puritanical””” online these days bc porn has literally become an inescapable part of the internet no matter where you go and they’re right!! You can’t google innocent kids’ franchises without running into r34 of the characters, funny meme pages have comments sections flooded with OF promotions, a lot of very common inside jokes in communities all over the internet are literally just The Joke Is Porn. You May Proceed To Laugh. Minors are more and more often making lewd art of their own sonas because they see others doing it and their lewd arts get more engagement than their sfw arts, even if they shouldn’t be drawing it
My friend even got fucking harassed a few years ago bc they said it was weird that people draw and openly post among us porn for anyone to see like this is ridiculous this is seriously ridiculous. I’m an adult and I understand sexual urges are normal, and discussion of that should be kept to their appropriate circles but my god it’s so fucking exhausting everywhere you go online running into porn one way or another no matter what you do no fucking wonder people are starting to grow sick of it. My god
screen reader gang, warning in advance…this is a relationship chart meme and the spiderweb of relationships means that uh. the id's gonna be long. orz
finagling some headcanons for macaroni reasons :D
there would be green lines of "who???" pointing from cobalt to literally everyone except orchid, purple, and maaaybe chosen and dark, but that'd be enough lines to make the rest of the chart completely unreadable XD
*: initially went by he/him, but after enough exposure to both human and stick culture through the internet, prefer they/them. may allow you to use he/him about them as a sign of trust, but that's not an honor given lightly. as for the "nicknames"…heheheh
**: in-joke w/my brother lmao. he wanted to make his own sona be dark blue but after i told him the fandom calls purple's blue parent (among other things) "dark blue" he coined "darth blue"
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here, for this is the lair of Beak!
I am a creation myth entity/monster giftuber, and my specialty is creating whatever I please. Whether it is through drawing, modeling, animating, or any other medium I can get my claws on, I will find a way to bend it to my will and birth forth monstrosities of my own making and design.
Beak does not suffer the fool, so beware what you say or do- lest you leave with one less limb, or head, depending on my mood.
Regardless, do try to make yourself at home among the darkness of the void. I’m sure the icy chill won’t linger on your mortal form for too long.

Hi, I’m the human behind this pain arcade.
In summary I’m a 31 year old nonbinary/agender from the USA, I like body horror, blood, guts, bleak as fuck horror, old animation styles, and monsters! I also prefer being around other adults around my age, hence the 18+ note on my blog, and my streams.
I stream mainly as a way to focus on my work, and having an avatar of my sona in the corner is just a way to have fun with it. I only recently sort of stepped into the whole vtuber community thing, and frankly while I like having fun with my avatar and streaming my work, admittedly the community is lacking to me and there’s not a ton I like. You will find out what those things are from scrolling through this blog, I’m neither shy nor quiet about it. You won’t find a whole lot of bubbly, surface deep niceties either. I have nothing to sell, and no burning drive to gather in a numerous tide of followers for ad revenue, all you see here is me.
So naturally I’m something of an outlier. I think it’s fitting though, given that my sona is a monstrous entity from a different universe.
That said, this account is just a place to stick all my stream related stuff so I’m not cluttering up my main blog with it. I like to call it a quarantine. I’ll reblog monster designs I like, and things that remind me of my sona.
Last but not least I keep the askbox open, but you are not allowed to hide behind anon like a little bitchy coward and make petty jabs. If you’re going to be a dick, you should have the balls to put your fake, also technically identity hiding name, next to it. I would rather deal with a complete set, if you will.
Here are some tags I use, to make it easier to find things:
Monster Appreciation - I reblog monster designs I like here, any commentary on them will be in the tags.
beastybeak says a thing - Text posts! Anything I talk about will be found here, including stream announcements. But beware, you may be in for an opinion you do not agree with and therefore a scare!
Character vibes - A place where I stick things that remind me of my sona, Beak. This could be music, memes, images, anything.
Beaktubin - The tag I use for stream related posts, Including stream and vod announcements.

One of Mustafa Kemal's most implacable foes, Sabri was alarmed to find Egyptian ʿulamaʾ and intellectuals advancing the positivist-materialist agenda he had challenged in Istanbul before fleeing in 1922 from Ankara's victorious nationalist forces. This article re-examines the theology of Egyptian ʿalim Muhammad ʿAbduh (1849–1905) through the writing of Late Ottoman sheikh ül-Islam Mustafa Sabri (1869–1954) and his radical critique of the Muslim reform ( tajdīd) movement.
