Can we stop using "still lives with their parents" or "unemployed" or "doesn't have a drivers license" or "didn't graduate high school" as an insult or evidence that someone is a bad person? Struggling with independence or meeting milestones is not a moral failing.
Took me a while because I was working on this in between commissions and I was also in Kelowna for 3 weeks.
Why did I do this? The original was deteriorating because he was poorly made. I only intended the original to be a shitpost I wore to 1 convention and that was it. But I got attached to this silly guy and it was either completely redo him or let him deteriorate beyond repair. He’s also always had a bad ventilation problem I’ve been meaning to fix. So I redid him. Here’s the photos from that:
Also a comparison:
Can’t believe this guy outlived the subreddit that was not a fan of me making this. I may be cringe but at least I am free. I love being cringe!!!!!!
I was also 18 when I made the original. I’m 21 now. Damn.
The guy with the rest of my creations (except the dragon I didn’t make him)
My CMK hyperfixation may have ended but the hyperfixation on Jim Pickens specifically still persists. At this point, WereJim is my OC. See this guy in real life at Vancoufur 2025!
apparently this takes place in a universe where race car driving is a college sport. this is not mariokart this is real life. and also they gamble on it. don't think about it too hard
the boyfriend is luigi
I imagine the second verse is them practicing before the race
I gave up trying to think of what to put for when the background singers are singing all the names
Whoa
Down on your knees before the King
Whoa
Down on your knees before the King
Well, RT Daniel was a master of drift
Hot rod, hot boy, pro gamer, plus he’s on Twitch
That boy had everything til hiccup and hitch
Princess Daisy joined the race on a whim (Get him Daisy)
The College Column on the tournament wrote:
Our RT’s senior year and King was his hope
Til gossip stirred that RT Daniel would choke
Crowning Daisy first in the race (Daisy Sweep)
“RT,” his Twitch chat said
“Drift is your life”
“I know you don’t want us to unsubscribe”
You taste the rubber, RT, you taste the crown
You thirst for blood on the podium stage
You grasp for gold and glory, roaring of fans
As they crown you king of college land
Check RT, Choose RT, Bet on RT Daniel
Check RT, Choose RT, Bet on RT Daniel
So relentless, RT near lost his mind
To life un-drift related, RT was blind
He drove in circles saving seconds of time
Still Daisy had a hold on the lead (Go go Daisy)
RT’s reality was hung by a thread
The Column just proclaimed his monarchy dead
Til then at last his boyfriend texted and said
“I’m betting Daisy wins the Drift King Cup” (Love, love, Daisy)
“RT,” his Twitch chat said
“Pick up the pace”
“There’s no one watching you come last in the race”
You taste the rubber, RT, you taste the crown
You thirst for blood on the podium stage
You grasp for gold and glory, roaring of fans
As they crown you king of college land
Whoa
Down on your knees before the King
Whoa
Down on your knees before the King
Some boys are rational, but RT was not
He stared in mirrors thinking one single thought (Daisy)
A little sabotage, that crown’s good as got
And so before the race, mercy, thus went his plot
D is for “The Drift King,” what you’ll call me, soon
R’s for running over every foe, zoom!
I is icy water poured all over the track
And F is chat’s farewell, for you will never come back!
But, but!
T is for the tires squealing, crashed in the walls
And I is engine fires igniting, sparking like bombs
But N is for the way it ends, your pathway is blocked
One spunky girl can bring a G for guards escorting you off (what a bitch)
You got your royalty, RT, you got your crown
You got their blood staining glove covered hands
Whoa, you stole the gold and glory, smiling to fans
As you crowned you king of college land
Woah-oh-oh-oh
God save the king
Down on your knees before the king
God save the king
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
The king of college land
Down on your knees before the king of college land
They wrenched your race car from you, they took your crown
They washed the blood from the podium stage
Into a tiny dungeon, locked up in cuffs
Screaming “I’ll always be the Drift King”
At least in your head, they call you the Drift King
Oh pity the dead, they called you the Drift King
Check RT, Choose RT, Bet on RT Daniel
Check RT, Choose RT, Bet on RT Daniel
