Here it is… my drawing for Self-Insert Day (only one day late!). I did it in the style of that one kind of sketchy S2 promo art because otherwise it would take me even longer rip. Have my favorite cartoon man wooing me in only the best sounding fake French words he knows.
Bonus: the infamous smooch that gave me so much trouble to figure out:
I’ve been feeling bad about myself for nearly 3 years but this lego dude has helped me a lot. Happy Self-Insert day/weekend
from what i said on twitter: i've expressed myself through favorite characters since i was kid but this is literally the first time i've done this openly, because its with a character i identify with so strongly and who comes from such a great movie with a wonderful fanbase. and through these things i've finally started opening up, making friends, being open to things in general, and i’m so grateful, honestly. i feel less shy and alone these days, little by little.
but most importantly through this character i've been more open with myself and who i am. i’ve been really looking at myself and realizing things about myself, and that i need to form an identity. i've been a blank slate and blind follower for years and i need to start my journey to become my own individual, my own master builder journey, you could say. again, i’m so thankful. thank you, emmet.
Happy self-insert weekend, y’all. For the occasion, I’ve scribbly-colored a doodle of my veRY OWN BLATANT (Marvel) SELF INSERT, Allie(on your right, with the wings), and her best friend, an oc I created PURELY based on the fact that I refuse to believe Tommy Shepherd didn’t have a younger sibling before he met the YA. He acts like an older brother ALL THE TIME. Anyway her name is Mary and she’s an actual cinnamon bun. Her mutant ability is literally luminescent rainbow bubbles that react to her emotions by changing colors, you’re WELCOME.
