I've been really sick (still kind of am tbh) the past week and haven't had the energy to draw a damn thing so I'm trying to slowly get back into it today

What I have done a LOT of is watch Arthur because um .. well why not?

Francine is my fave, dunno why because jocks are never my fave /lh but she was my fave as a kid for being so strong willed and maybe bcuz I associate her with the 'there's a mushroom on your shirt' meme that I love.

Buster is my second fave bcuz he's hilarious. Don't really have a third fave, every character is good. Buster and Arthur have BFF goals.

Also, some random 10SCC2 bcuz I've been obsessed w/ this song.

Chose them bcuz of one of my fanfics about them and whiskey. Seemed fitting.

Scotsbees revamps! Aka the guys I was probably best known for haha

I didn’t want to do a complete overhaul - my old designs were ... fine? But a bit outdated. However because I was known for them they were also too iconic to change completely, so I’ve found a nice middle ground by keeping the most iconic aspects of the og designs but also shaking it up a little with new shirts and floofier hair!

Synopsis: When Ben loses a bet against Bill, the number 2 clay twin is dared to spend a night in the “haunted hollow” of Whistling Woods. Upon hearing of the challenge, Douglas offers to join him as a camping buddy for protection, which Ben is initially offended by. But the haunted hollow is awfully dark at night, and he’d rather not face the supposed legend of a ghostly stationmaster alone…

Relationships: Donald/Bill, Douglas/Ben (pre-relationships)

When I left the TTTE fandom in 2019 I think the last thing I wrote was 'Till The Cows Come Home' which was a one shot focusing on Donald and Bill - I never got the chance to write one focused on Ben and Douglas, so here's me rising from the dead almost three years later to finish what I started.
