Work Break PT6!:
Streber doodles I've made the last few years
[a space dedicated to all those various doodles of him i've done through these last few years but never posted before bc, scared, not good enough, not interesting enough, half baked, yadayadamisc/]
in today's post- my fair share of my own streber takes -
uuhhh tw:loneliness, depression and slight suicide idealization mention(??
22-8-25 - idk what happened to me that day, i got struck with the Streber beam and started drawing him like crazy and rotating him in my mind, that much that i actually wrote down my whole take on him
22-8-25 - always in the same day, this is a small sketch/scheme i did of how my interpretation of him goes in a nutshell- basically man already deals with self worth and loneliness issues and stuff pre sm5 but still pushes through and keeps himself up on his feet nonetheless - then sm5 happens and it simply makes everything deeply worse. (the scarecrew group does not exist for me, sorry - although at the time i felt like pressured by fandom to include them in this narrative, and basically back then the dynamic was, "yes they're my 'friends' but i'm not actually close to any of them, we just casually hang up" then later on i realized i can do whatever i want fuck it)
also, i really like to push him through that high achiever narrative, really putting the meaning of streber on work -lol- man is kinda fixated with grades, but not really(?, the grade is the reward, what he puts more attention to in his works/projects is to Stand Out. His fixation is make his work/projects good, effective, and last but no less important, be better than everyone else. man is very passionate in his work and ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO SHOW IT. like a statement, he needs to show not only his teachers, nor his classmates, nor any passerby, he needs to show to EVERYONE, that his work is worth it and the max and they, mentally, unconsciously, somehow, need to acknoledge it.
if my work is not good enough.. what's the point?
