Honestly, I love it when characters relapse. When someone who’s gotten over their anger issues falls into a situation so out of their depth they fall back on their old habits. When someone who’s learned to open up becomes a recluse again in order to cope with something outside their control.

There’s just something so horrible, so toxic, about watching a character grow and then slip back into their old selves in order to cope, bc you know they still care, that they’re the same inside, but watching them hurt so hard they don’t know what else to do brings a sense of catharsis.

Columbo and the Knight (1984)

put me in the universe where Columbo ran through the 1980s and had a crossover episode with Knight Rider. I think they deserved it, and I am not just saying that because they're my two favorite Old Shows. @telebeast wrote a little fanfic blurb about it and I HAD to visualize it into a comic (which is also the longest comic I have finished thus far at five pages...), so writing credit goes to them.

Don't ask how it got into his room

Splinter and Leo go to an escape room and Splinter surprises Leo by having booked a MAGIC-THEMED ESCAPE ROOM. Leo is DELIGHTED.

Leo has a blast solving all the puzzles and doing stage magic and they solve the room with a minute remaining and get to take fun selfies of WINNING

This side by side makes me cry. Those are the exact same eyes. Despite everything it's still you :(

Eve, Kate, Mark and Rex! Nailing some ideas down on how I wanna draw them in the future, and enjoying messing with their designs like usual! Not a fix-it whatsoever just fun + ref for the future! I cannot do realistic styles so translating them into something I can do while still being recognizable is peak. I will mess with Rex's suit more. Trust. I Kate so much now. Look at her <333333

It’s my favourite little guy!

Horror sans!

I wanted to go for something a little more moody/spooky but I’m not sure if I quite hit that… the colours look pretty neat at least!

(Please also ignore how long it’s been since I’ve posted/drawn anything…)

The most obvious Byler proof is this Jancy - Byler parallel:

Nancy not being able to say "I love you" to Steve

And then going to Johnathan for comfort and advice

Mike not being able to say "I love you" to El

And then going to Will for comfort and advice

Not only that, the car scenes are very similar

- sitting on a car

- soda

- Wheeler on (their) right

- Byers on (their) left

Byler endgame is real guys 😋

There is so much more proof btw and don't come at me with "Oh but Mike is straight!" Just search up "Mike Wheeler queercoding and watch the video by Lesbianmindflayer about it, you might have to pause to read tho, or there's also another video which is longer by someone else but I haven't seen it yet so can't say anything about it. You will see that he is so much more queercoded than Will himself, the canon (confirmed) gay character.

Girl love (CANONICAL THIS TIME)

[slfcare]

the most difficult thing about growing as a person socially, as in getting out of your shell and noticing that you are, is that there will still be times when it doesn’t feel like you’ve grown at all! times when you can’t really connect with anyone around you, times when you fail to enter into an existing conversation, times when you say the wrong thing (or nothing at all when in hindsight you probably should’ve). but that’s also kind of the best thing, because that’s the thing that helps you realize that sometimes, it’s not you or your lack of skills or any shortcoming. sometimes certain environments just aren’t for you and certain people aren’t your people, and that’s okay. that’s human. it’s okay to not feel the progress you have made all the time.
