Felt the need to fill up a sketchbook page's worth of Sadness stuff. It was fun working with color pencils and felt tip pens again! She's MY number one movie character of 2015. 2024 <3 (she's sharing the position with disgust idc)

bonus work in progress, interrupted by my grumpy art assistant.. smh

#AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA #THESE ARE SO CUTE #I LOVE HER SO MUCH I CAN HARDLY TAKE IT #sadness inside out #others art

I love the Inside Out films because in the first one, Joy—among other characteristics—is a huge arrogant, controlling, and self-centered ass and in the second one she’s a less arrogant, controlling, and self-centered ass BUT that’s the point! That’s great! They didn’t make her suddenly not any of those things in the second one, which is good because that would be a bizarre and bad character rewrite. What would she be if she’s not those things? She’s still those things but understands how to better use those characteristics to serve Riley the person, rather than her idea of what Riley should be. This is her whole entire job, and she does it well. Nothing wrong with being proud of a job well done.

BUT, when she doesn’t understand how the other emotions are necessary too, she ends up suppressing Sadness or attempting to curate Riley to make her happy, in a softer way than Anxiety did but still to the same effect—controlling and restricting Riley’s full experiences at the expense of Riley. She became not controlling of other emotions by the second film but turned out to still be a little bit controlling of Riley in that one. But by that time, she already had the experience of learning that she could be wrong and was therefore more open to the idea that she could be doing something wrong again. Joy will do literally anything to make Riley happy, and that includes—most importantly—growing as a character, reflecting on her actions, changing behaviors, and learning how the other emotions do in fact ultimately make Riley a happier and better person.

Another thing I like is that she wasn’t mad at Anxiety, she didn’t punish Anxiety or suppress her, because she learned from Sadness that all emotions have a valuable purpose for Riley and she didn’t ever need to be reminded of that. In real life, when does being mad at or punishing your anxiety or sadness or anything help? And then in the end, Anxiety drinks her tea on her special chair, suggesting that Joy and the others made a space where Anxiety could be close and a part of it all in a way that serves Riley best. They made a way to respect the function that Anxiety has without ignoring her or letting her have excessive control over Riley. Not exerting excessive control over Riley is a lesson that Joy learned alongside Anxiety, and perhaps couldn’t be learned from anyone other than Anxiety.

Joy has to be the one that the story is told through because she has to be the one to learn and grow—and by the end of both films, she is a much stronger character for it all, and Riley is too. This makes perfect sense, because when you think about it, your capacity for joy is strengthened when you understand and value the legitimate role that sadness and anxiety play in your life.

My favorite of Joy’s qualities is that she never fully shakes off her inclination to be a “control freak” in some way, while still retaining the lessons she learned. I hope this continues in future movies and spin offs.

It’s not easy to write a character like this, most of the time the character would either completely leave a flaw behind forever or revert fully back to their old ways and have to relearn the same lesson.

#exactly!!!!#it would have been so easy to for them to just assassinate Joy's entire arc from the first movie #or have her forget about all of her traits that just make her...her! positive and negative!#but they not only didn't do either of that #but they made her effectivwly go through the same arc as the first movie #but instead of supressing the other emotions and ultimately hurting Riley #she's supressing memories and ALSO hurting Riley!#and oh my god I love how Anxiety believes that Joy already came to the conclusion that they don't get to choose who Riley is #but she didn't! Joy hadn't (at least fully) realized that yet! and needs someone else's input to realize that!#which not only shows how much she's grown since the first movie #but that despite everything #she's still her!#yes I did just quote Undertale #Sorry if this is incoherent I was mostly just rambling #All this to say that this is a based as hell post op #and that Joy is still one of my favorite protagonists ever #inside out #inside out 2 #joy inside out #sadness inside out #anxiety inside out

I've always wanted to make a mock poster for the au but I keep pushing it aside for. Other important things. Since it's also my birthday (my timezone at least, it's the 29th! I'm a year older!) I might as well finish Something today. License to Feel, now showing in a mind theater near you!

#one of the coolest things I've ever seen I am NOT kidding #op you cooked so hard with this.#inside out #inside out 2 #inside out au #other's art

I have nothing to post quite yet so have these slightly older doodles.
