Went to a theme park recently and had a blast but also had Jalim on my mind. Especially Jalim as parents taking their little tyke to Disney World or something like that (may the odds be ever in their favor). So I drew some quick little comics on my phone’s notes app with my finger to kill time in line for rides.
Since it’s all messy (especially my handwriting):
*watching a parade*
*lots of people so Jason goes to pick kid up so they have a better view*
Son/Daughter: Noooo BABA tall! Baba, up!
Jason: ...He’s barely taller!
tragic!
Part 2 - Arcade
Part 3 - Big Blue World
Part 4 - Boarding the Bus
The Jalim family theme park saga continues - had to make Jason happier after the last one! Still drawn poorly on my phone with my finger, but hope this silly thing makes someone else smile
Since it’s messy:
*Building: “Shootin’ Arcade”*
Jason: “yesyesyes - SALIM GET THE QUARTERS”
Happy to help significantly lower the bar for fanart!!! ;) lmao

Jalim theme park saga is back! This one maybe requires a little more explanation... so find that under the cut, along with the first two silly things I scribbled with my finger in line for rides a few months back
Not sure if it’s mostly a Disney World thing or not, but there are free buses available throughout the day to/from their hotels. At park close, there are often long, long lines of guests waiting their turn to board so they can get back to their rooms. In line, kids fall asleep in their strollers/parents’ arms after a long day, and exhausted parents like Jason here struggle to fold up the strollers so they can board when it’s finally their turn. I always feel bad for the parents who have a hard time when we allll just want to get back to the hotels to sleep haha.
For whatever reason, it was one of the first things that came to mind when I started my trip, because it’s just a very uniquely parent thing to see at the parks, and I love Jalim as parents. Darn strollers!
Sorry to pick on you again, Jason! But they probably had a long and fun day together

The more I see of Clarice, the more I like her. 🥰 extra rambles below
Here comes the blah blah blah! ✨ Clarice appreciation ✨ because sometimes it just feels nice to get thoughts out
I can understand how she might be off-putting; she’s got an attitude about her, a wry sense of humor. It also seems like she’s very rude to Rachel for no reason, but she’s been working with Eric for a while and would have gotten a very one-sided view of Rachel as a result. It just makes sense to me that she’d already have some preconceived idea in her head. She’s not at all surprised by the reveal that Rachel is cheating on her boss, and is able to guess she’s cheating with Nick instantly. Then, add Rachel’s own subordinates calling her “Queen Bitch” on top of it all and I think Clarice felt justified putting up some preliminary defenses for Mrs. King.
But then, of course, all of that can be challenged or reinforced in “Bloodbath,” with Rachel potentially becoming Clarice’s strongest advocate in the temple and the two actively saving one another’s lives. They complement some of the game’s themes of loyalty and unlikely alliances (with options to help/abandon, just like Kurum & Balathu and Jason & Salim).
But she’s my tragic gorl :[
Also, can you imagine choosing to stay behind in the dark caverns where there are horrible monsters to die alone, sick and hurting? GahhH
Finding Nemo coming out the exact same day that House of Ashes takes place is something of a meme on this tumblr account, so I would be remiss if I didn’t put the Jalim fam on “The Seas with Nemo & Friends”. Click here to ride along with them on YouTube.
I mean, they have to go on at least one ride!

More House of Ashes/Portal crossover - drawn on my phone to get the idea out of my head for how I wanted Salim to look (based on Chell from the first Portal game), so no reference used for the poor portal gun oops. But I liked it enough to share and give it a little color. He’s a cutie! I promise my art isn’t all terrible phone doodles haha
Basically, Jason & Salim have to work together Portal 2 co-op style to get through Curator!GLaDOS’s tests *nodnod*

Salim deserves a Portal beauty shot like I gave Jason - maybe someday!
