Doubt
Would Robbie flirt with Wally to make Howdy jealous? 👀
I'm curious to see a jealous Howdy
I love your art style ✨️

There isn’t really a reason to rizz up Wally tbh, he only really does rizzes if he wants something (or is trying way too hard to be attractive) and there isn’t much of a reason to get howdy jealous besides teasing him smhhh (but he’s got plenty of other ways to embarrass Howdy)
also here’s some bonus mob Robbies

Mob Robbie gets lonely a lot, the only person he can mostly talk to nowadays is Dr.Stone. Normally he doesn’t say anything about it when sober, but all of his emotions start crashing down when he gets a few drinks in his system

How I Wrote A Novel.
This, in a nutshell, is what I did to get a book with my name on it.
NOTE: This is just my personal way of making the words go. Other people have different ways to make their words go. In the world of words, there are no right answers. There’s just lots and lots of tea/coffee/tear stains.
1). The Idea
When I get an idea for a story, I open up a document, label it “Brainstorming,” and start making a bullet list of events that consist of the plot.
Tumblr media
It has to be an idea with tangible weight. A stray bit of dialogue or something vague like Halloween, that doesn’t give me much to work off of. Halloween creatures living on the same street where it’s Autumn every day- now that’s something I can build from.
What kinds of creatures are they? What do they do? What do their houses look like? The best ideas are the ones that spark more.
2). First Draft
Tumblr media
This is the easy part- and the most challenging. Easy, because there’s literally no bar. I just sat there and typed. But it’s a huge mental challenge.
When I was in first draft mode, I wanted that story out. I thought that by making it such a rough, far-away version from the concept in my head, I was only delaying the day where I’d hold it in my hands. Turns out, that’s what got it to take on physical form in the first place. So I quieted down, grabbed my laptop and some hot tea, and typed.
3). Dissecting the First Draft
Tumblr media
After I finished draft one, I printed it all off and highlighted the scant amounts that were passable for the next phase. Dialogue, descriptions, setting- anything that didn’t look like it was up to par was scratched out and omitted.
I call the above pictures A Slow Descent Into Madness.
4). The Second Draft
Tumblr media
On a fresh document, I rewrote the story altogether- and it make a difference. I was coming up with things I hadn’t even thought of previously. And it was surprising how much better the plot was than the first time around. But it was still rough.
5). Draft Three
Tumblr media
My method was to start with the bigger, more obvious issues and work my way down. Any plot holes I found were noted, and my outline was constantly under revision. I cut out entire scenes and made mental notes on ways they could be fixed/replaced.
This is where I started cutting chapters in half to make the story flow better- but I didn’t bother writing in usable chapter titles. Instead, I improvised:
6). Drafts Four and Five
Tumblr media
These were dedicated to correcting the smaller, less obvious plot holes. This was the point where the story finally started to look close to what would become the final version.
7). Drafts Seven Onward
Tumblr media
With the story line looking how I wanted, I then moved on to sentence structure. That one song that looked terrible? Rewritten. Over-the-top descriptions and excessive prose? Gone.
8). Editing and Proofing
This is where I had outside help. Besides this useful tool, I had two people check for spelling issues and the overall story. Once it was in decent shape to be made public, I asked for some additional help.
9). Betas
My betas were in the age range that my novel was geared toward, along with a couple of teachers and parents (as it was middle grade). I gave them the full manuscript, along with seven basic questions like “Which characters were your favorite/least favorite and why?” and “Was there a part of the story that didn’t make sense?”
I gave my betas three months to read a 42,590 word story, and by the end they gave me back the review sheets.
10). Final Adjustments
After I read over the reviews, I let the comments sit for three days so that I could proceed with a clear head. I smoothed out any flaws, scanned over the MS twice to make sure everything was right, and that is how I got to the end of writing my first novel.
Next comes publishing- which is a different beast entirely.

In between filming I like to think that Wally and Julie have 🍃 sessions but only Wally partakes. Julie just sits and chats about her new game ideas and Wally likes to just sit and listen… sometimes he drops crazy fact bombs (like his hair routine) knowing it’ll get a funny reaction out of her. He likes the “girl time” ⭐️🪱
Also here’s the other version but because I know there’s 7 year olds looking at this stuff I left it out. If you’re 7 don’t smoke the za kids 🫵🏻🪱

Oh! Wally got some apple scented soap from Howdy!! How nice!…. Oh boy,, 🍎🍏🪱
I like to think that Wally truly doesn’t understand the concept of Apples being a “scent” or “flavor” of things. If he was given a bottle of apple scented soap by Howdy he would probably bite into it to see where the apple was hidden inside! And I think it would go something like this, haha!!

Oooo!!! I Forgot to add this very sleepy Wally listening to some nightly neighborhood tea!! (I wonder who he’s talking to?..) he really is the perfect model for my 5 minute warm ups!
Oh!! Also!! Because I worked as a concept artist for a gig promoting the new Chucky tv show I discovered that the style I used easily translates over to wally!! Those months drawing that silly killer doll finally paid off!! Hahah! 🪱💭

What’s Wally doing?… Oh?? He found a worm!! and an apple!! (The worm very nicely moved out of the apple so wally could get a better look at it! Don’t worry though, she moved back in after he was done looking)
Even though I’m still sick I had some work I needed to do and I discovered something wonderful!! Wally (created by @partycoffin ) is the absolute most perfect little guy to draw for my warm up drawings! I realized that his anatomy is perfect for getting into a style that i have to work with for this one job, and I can stylize him enough to get warmed up!! He’s so easy to work with!! It also felt fitting to have him be the first thing I drew on my new tablet! Haha! 🪱💭
