Happy 5th anniversary to Rhythm N' Ambush, a Hands Up short directed by Joel Guerra (and co-created by Brian Zavala)!

I love this series a lot, and have always remained extremely fond of it! In celebration, here is some art I've kept private for quite some time. Enjoy!

Silly art inspired by my friend @luckydoodlez (more context under cut):

Art from either 2022 or 2023 (I forget which). Just fun hypothetical aftermath of Weird Night with a healthy dose of shipping:

Silly custom emojis I made for the aforementioned friend and I's private discord server (feel free to use!):

Extremely silly shitpost draft that I'd love to finish at some point (imperative that I eventually spread the Hands Up propaganda to my YouTube subs hehe):

If you haven't before, go watch Hands Up! I miss them so dearly but it's alright. I hope we see Margo and Ula again in the future 🧡💚

Textless version of the Ula pyramid art:

Obscure pyramid lore mentioned!!! What the fuck is waiting for canon to introduce it in the webseries not just the concept art!!!!

The above art was inspired by my friend earlier this year after I finally showed them HU, when they sent a very funny message of them in front of a pyramid building making this face with the caption "dudeee check this shit out, im boutta pull myself a blue-skinned baddie" (as the pyramid is blue). I won't post the original message because I do not wish to dox them haha.

That same friend and I also put them in Tomodachi Life:

RNGesus decided to ship them too, hehe:

Margo sleeping on da floor:

The end yay :)

Digital painting I did of Truth from Strong Hearts Are Mandatory (story/books/etc by @caffeinial)! I love this pink kitty and hope we will see more of her in the coming books! She is absolutely delightful ❤️

Analia the Bee

I made this after finding a bee that I thought was dead, but was actually still alive, barely.

I don't usually name my specimens, but I asked my best friend if she wanted a bee named after her and she said "yes" (btw her name is pronounced "ah-nah-LEE-ah", not "an-NAH-lia").

Of all the animals I've found, this one made me the saddest.

Here are some pictures of the bee right after I found it and thought it was dead:

And here are some pictures I took of it today:

Rest In Peace, small bee friend.

Warning: JOKE MPREG BELOW, THIS WAS DRAWN AS A JOKE AS A HAHA BIT OK

My brother gave me $15 dollars to draw this, then when I said I'd only post it to Tumblr if he gave me $5 more he did. He keeps tormenting me by saying "Pregnant Peepers" every time I'm annoying smh my head I hate him so much <3 <3 <3

I wish I'd done this on April Fools but oh well. Lets justr say, I was the April Fool all along, haha.

Queer people will never back down, and we will not go silently, either. Never let conservatives go without hearing our screams as they try to exterminate us. We have always been here, and we will always exist, no matter how much they try to stamp us out.

Lyric is from "Paris Decapitates Homophobe" by REVENGEOFPARIS, check out their song here (it's a banger): https://youtu.be/pRFrjugLXLg?si=QmwfIaE9w-54wwBJ

What hurts most about everyone in Fionna and Cake saying how Ice King was so much better and cooler and more awesome than Simon is that nobody liked Ice King when he was Ice King.

Ice King was seen as annoying and unpleasant at best, and a genuine danger and creep at worst. And for the few that knew about Simon, he was just a shell of his former self that could be really upsetting to be around at times because of how awful he had become and how tragic the whole situation was.

Now everyone who wasn't forced to deal with the IK's bs directly and only know an idealized version of him are telling Simon that he should go back to being insane and unhinged because to them, how he is now is "too boring and depressing". And yeah, I guess it's not really their faults because they don't realize how their words affect Simon, but because of them he is teetering on the edge of what is essentially another dangerous, prolonged manic episode.

I bet the little girl that kept harassing Simon would hate Ice King if she had to deal with him flying into the human town, stealing women and freezing people on a whim and destroying stuff, regularly.

This is not to say I hate Ice King btw, he's actually one of my favorite characters in the show even when separated from Simon, but in-universe this is all true. Almost all the characters that started being nicer to him did so only because they were told about Simon or because they were fans of his Fionna and Cake stories. I mean hell, most of his fellow wizards didn't even like him, only some of the low-level guys were his buddies. Lady Island is an outlier because IK managed to keep it in his pants that whole episode, miraculously.
