We are not 15k on tumblr but I made this reel for you all ! 😔🫵🫶
"I always draw for fun, whatever it is illustration, simple doodle or silly comics 😭 when I suddenly gain followers, I was a bit scared about what should I post
I wonder if I should act "more professional" and make my account only illustration/comic.
But you all make me understand that whatever I am doing, if I have fun and I like it, you all will enjoy it or just ignore if you don't like. And here I am !! Spamming my stories everytime I feel somethinf, and spamming my account with doodles !
Thank you so much for all interactions I got with you. I enjoy reading each comments, and enjoy answering each DM. Thank you for sharing with me your brainrot, your HC, sharing your opinion, and support me when I doubt. I am lucky to have such wholesome followers ! 15k feels like a number, but everytime we talk, we share, I definitively feel that behind a screen, there is a human. That's why I have so much fun !(In my head we r not that much bahaha)
Thank you for listening/reading my brainrot, thank you for hyping me everytime I have an idea that I will forgot in the next day, thank you for tolerating my cringe side, thank you for respecting my boundaries
Thank you for being human. 🫶 LOVE YOU ALL !!!
(AND LOOK OMG I TRY CLIP STUDIO'S ANIMATION !!!! 🤭🤭)

For tumblr, it is a bit different of instagram, but I definitively feel the same.
And there is something more here, and it is the ask ! It is always a pleasure to read everything, and I try to take my time to answer some of them.

Author's Note: I was inspired by a recent post of mine about Cliff's protective nature towards MC and how he reacts when Baxter and MC reunite and get back together. I believe Cove keeps Cliff updated on EVERYTHING!
This would take place after the events of the Baxter DLC, The timing is up to you!
Pairing: Baxter Ward x MC
Cliff Holden was currently unboxing some new shipments When he heard the store's front doorbell ring a few times.
He emerged from the backroom to see his son and his group of friends. He instantly had a huge grin on his face as he welcomed them.
"Hey, Bud." He greeted nonchalantly, earning a small 'Hey' from his son.
"Oh! Hello, Terry and Miranda! It's always nice seeing you two" he greeted warmly, earning himself an enthusiastic "Heeyyyyy!" from Terry and a small wave from Miranda.
"And of course, MC and-" he paused when he saw the new face standing next to MC with a sheepish smile. He looked familiar but he couldn't put a name to the face.
"Oh! Hey! It's always nice seeing a new face, I am Cliff" he greeted with a grin.
The 'stranger' smile grows a little. "Hello. We've already met before...I was staying in the condo next to yours five years ago..?" The black-haired man said. "Baxter Ward?" He added.
Cliff deflated for a minute. He had remembered, now that Baxter hiked his memory. Cove had updated Cliff on the entire series of events about Baxter and MC.
He was told how the eccentric monochromatic tourist had gotten together with his long-term neighbor and son's best friend.
He was also told about how the same eccentric monochromatic tourist had dumped MC at the end of the summer and vowed to never see them again.
Baxter had always been very neighborly and amiable towards Mr. Holden himself, always greeting him and giving tidbits about his plans for the day.
But...
He couldn't forget how heartbroken MC was over the breakup. It always seemed like they had some unheeded feelings that will most likely never be addressed or explained; leaving MC confused and sad over it all.
Like Noelani and Pamela’s first reaction to the reappearance of Baxter; His excitement melted in the California heat.
“Oh.” Cliff mumbled.
He then walked to stand behind the register took out a long box and continued to talk with everyone.
“So , What brings you back in town, Baxter?”
“Well.-“ Baxter was then promptly interrupted by the sound of a box opening and a metal clanking sound hitting the counter.
Cliff casually unboxed a box of fishing harpoons while staring right at Baxter.
“Well, we wanted to visit the shopping district again to relax.” Baxter finished , he had his usual grin but it looked a tiny bit wobbly.
“Uh-huh,” Cliff said, placing another fishing harpoon on the table casually again. “Ignore me. These are new shipments.” Cliff reiterated, with a slightly forced smile.
Not wanting to stay in this awkward and slightly threatening silence, MC speaks up.
“Mr. Holden , me and Baxter are back together; don’t be too hard on him” they said both in a jokey and genuine sense.
Cliff chuckled a little. “I won’t , don’t worry!” He smiled , shining the threatening harpoons.
Miranda giggled a little , either out of nervousness or whatever was going on. Terry being the social butterfly he is bounced right back.
“B-man invited everyone to lunch so we gotta head out soon!” He stated , giving Baxter a friendly pat on the shoulder.
“Yeah. We just wanted to stop by , Dad” Cove said with a smile. Cliff nodded to that. “I appreciate you for thinking about your old man, Cove.”
“Your not old , Mr.Holden. Your only like 49.”
“Pfft-, 49?!? MC. I promise ,I am not that old” he cackled lightheartedly. Before he started waving the group off. “You kids go on now, You don’t have to stay to keep me company.”
As they all began exiting , he stopped Baxter. “Uh , Baxter. A word?” He asked , a serious tone in his voice.
Baxter didn’t say anything but he did move to properly look at the older gentleman. He had a abased frown.
“I don’t want any funny business with you,” Cliff said, crossing his arms. “MC has been a massive support to both Cove and myself for a long time. It would be sad to see them be heartbroken again.” He continued, he wasn’t joking around.
Baxter Ward stood up straighter and said. “Mr. Holden. I assure you that this time, I am here to stay.” He said, putting a pale hand to his purple button-up.
“I understand your concern. I haven’t made a good impression by doing that years ago. I am sorry for that. I truly do care for MC and I want to be with them.”
He finished it off with a slight bow of his head.
Cliff unfolded his arms and gave Baxter’s shoulder a strong but not painful squeeze. “Good. I hope we can become good friends then.”
Cliff then let Baxter go to join the rest of the group with a small hopeful smile.
