UM. EXCUSE ME? WHY IS THIS SOURCE IN YOUR VIDEO ABOUT GESTURES? to be clear, i am by no means upset, i'm just... WHAT ARE YOU IMPLYING, TOM? WHAT ARE YOU IMPLYING???

[twentydaysofmay]

i love the genre of early tom scott videos where he chooses to torment himself

@thatimageoftomscott version with sound

i've been trying to internalize this for a while now. but hearing it from tom scott himself makes me feel emotions that are difficult to explain

credit to @belugahouseparty and @duckitweball for the idea.

context + extra art below the cut.

so on the 10th of april, me and my friends were playing a game of gartic phone, and i got the opportunity to draw the techdifs a few times.

the first two were responses to a prompt from @livingdeaddollhouse, "nightmare blunt rotation of your fandom":

but i think the most glorious part was the round of exquisite corpse, where i drew tom's head and the game tasked percy and mak with giving my boy a new torso and legs respectively.

they did an absolutely fantastic job. i didn't know it was possible to make tom even more beautiful than he already is, but they managed it.

so, of course, i had to depict his gorgeous body with more powerful tools (as you see at the top). multiple people have independently tompared him to ursula, so naturally, i'm naming this form "tomsula".

i love so many things about this photo. the floppy hair. the childlike joy. the shadows on his arms. the upward motion of his t-shirt. the visible belt. the shoeless feet. the bouncy boy...
