TrustFund drawing dump

Also this Mini comic I made before this. Though if you want them to be connected, it’d fit.

TOUR TRIO YAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!! I really like these three. For some reason. They literally all die in the first episode Idk why I'm so attachdd to them-

Green was. Difficult to design. I wasn't really sure what direction I wanted to go with them beyond some general shapes, and their hair was particularly hard for me to settle on a good design for, but I'm happy with what I settled on! I wanted them to be really round and approachable, just the most stereotypically innocent looking farmer imaginable. Never done anything wrong in their entire life. I also wanted there to be a visual difference between the imposters and the normal crewmates, but not one that would be super noticeable on first glance, so I settled on giving them desaturated skin and yellowish sclerela. Makes them feel kinda dead, which is fitting considering my understanding of how imposters work.

I am. Not entirely satisfied with my White design tbh. I have no idea WHAT I could do to make them look better, I considered maybe giving them eyelashes but Idk. I think I'm just overthinking it. Anyway the goal with this design was to make them as gay as possible. Vaguely inspired by Gay or European from Legally Blonde. Obviously all of them are queer because they're all nonbinary, White just looks the most stereotypically gay in both directions. To me. See this fucker on the street and no matter what gender you think they are they look queer as FUCK. Why is that the direction I took with this design? Vibes, next question. Also I found the post that originally drew White in that pose at the top right shout out to them I really like their humanizations too.

Orange is another one where I lowkey just drew their voice actor and again I COULD NOT tell you why. It's just vibes. I do think the likeness isn't as strong in this drawing as it was with Red but I think that's just cause I drew their mouth so big. Yvette Nicole Brown has really prominent cheekbones, if I had the room to add that I think the resemblance would come across more clearly. Anyway I don't have a lot to say about my Orange design besides that. I did put a lot of thought into their hairstyle, but I have no idea how to articulate the exact thought process without it sounding like. Word vomit. So. Please don't ask me to elaborate. They also have the imposter desaturated skin once they Get Got but I explained that in Green's section... I guess that's it then. I'm very happy w this design though :)

Now watch as the next batch takes me like a week for some reason. Once again if anyone rbs this and uses anything other than they/them for these guys I will Hurt you.

Transcript if you can’t read it:

Orange: „Are you okay Green?“

Green: „I… I don’t know. I really don’t. I mean, on one bean, I know the supplies we have on board won’t be enough for you and white now because of the hull breach and the delay it’s caused. But on the other bean… does Blue really deserve to die just so we can live?

Orange: „I‘m not sure I’m the one to be asking about this stuff…“

Orange: „I didn’t mean to“/„I was hungry“/„I’m sorry“

Orange‘s intrusive thoughts: „YOU’RE EVIL“/„THEY’RE DEAD“/„YOU KILLED THEM“/„YOUR FAULT“

This is kinda a continuation from my last post. Orange is a phantom, White is a viper, and Green is half shifter. I don’t have any parasites in this AU, and I’m going to work Roda‘s Alt series into this asw.

Poverty

How does one define poverty? I think a lot of people think of that and think of poor communities with dirty housing and crappy cars, rotten kids running their mouths. Some others consider third world countries, with no roofs over heads, no clean water, no medical access. Poverty is both, and more. It’s a really broad term that encases a lot of situations and problems. I never thought I was poor growing up, not really, but looking back now, my family did live in poverty to a degree. 

We didn’t have big fancy cars, we didn’t have a new house (though it was a MASSIVE house compared to others in the neighborhood) and we didn’t go to Disney every summer. We had a nice inground pool in the backyard, my dad owned his own business, and we didn’t really want for much. So no, I never thought I was poor. But looking back on what we didn’t have, versus what we did, I realize we were in a poor bracket. We went on family vacations for a week every summer up until my dad started getting sick and couldn’t drive/sit for that long. But it wasn’t to a massive theme park or anything, it was usually Wildwood, NJ, or Mystic, CT. We didn’t have game systems, or fancy cell phones. We lost power a few times because dad couldn’t pay the bill on time. I learned one summer in my teens how to live without air conditioning - it was horrible, not to mention I had a loft bed, so I was right under the ceiling, and it was HOT. Thankfully we had a gas stove/oven, and it was summer so we could grill. But we had to boil water to take showers/baths. 

When I got to college, I couldn’t ask my parents to be on a loan with me, because they didn’t have the credit for it. They didn’t have any money to help me, so I took out a ton of loans and started working my second year - just a small part time job at a retail outlet. I had no assistance in buying my books, which every semester they seemed to be more and more expensive. Yet I still didn’t really consider us poor or impoverished, just going through a tough time. 

Now as an adult - and I think I’m nearly past the phase of calling myself a “young adult” which really sucks - I realize I have always lived in some impoverished state. My mother, younger sister and I live in the same townhome, a two-bedroom, one bath place, and split the rent/utilities three ways - I pay over $600 a month as my share, and looking at that cost in comparison to how much I make, I could NEVER live on my own at this rate. Most studio apartments in my area start at $800, and then you need to factor in utilities, bills, food, etc. I never had much help or a starter/trust fund from my parents, so all my money is pretty much what I’ve made, and what I’ve saved from working. It’s so very, very little considering what I would need to be successful in my own living arrangements, and I really envy my peers who maybe had more help from their parents or families. I know not everyone did, and a lot of people are/were even worse off than me and are doing fine, or still “just” getting by. I can’t help but be saddened, though, at my apparent societal status - by most intents and purposes, I am poor. And that shouldn’t mean much of anything, but it means a lot to me. It’s something I am struggling to come to terms with to be able to make a plan to get myself into a better income bracket. It will take time, I know that. But it sucks, y’know?
