fantube wedding or something

hiho

HAPPY FAMILY

Close ups:

hey tumblr it's been a bit! it's currently 12:36 am and i need to be up in approximately seven hours and twenty minutes . BUT WHO CARES I HAVE FANTUBE !

i am frankly SHOCKED AND APPALLED (/j) that no one has made fantube art based on Test Tube Tango (go listen if you haven't, it's genuinely so beautiful) so i doodled some on a whiteboard Oslo and I did :)

(yes i know TT is disproportionately small in that first one i was too lazy to fix it sorry)

THE BRIGHT LIGHTS AS HUMANS!!

i spent like 23 hours making this omggggga but it was so worth it cause this is one of my fav things i’ve drawn. I always have trouble making human design for non-human things because i just have so many different ideas for like outfits, hairstyles, and other stuff. so i’ll probably do like a line up of them in different outfits in the future !!

-

some things i would like to point out. lightbulb has a little crab keychain on her carabiner, paintbrush usually has their overalls down but puts them up when they paint, the beads in test tubes hair and hair tie glow in the dark, and fan has a spoiled lemons shirt on and an egg keychain on his phone.

here is some single versions

HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE THESE!! OH AND BONUS FANTUBE

muhehehehe !!!!!!

I realized I had never drawn them sleeping together before, so here ^_^

do you know that peacocks are very picky when choosing a mate? now you know :P

(im honestly not satisfied with how i draw fan’s peacock tail design jddhhsgd ⚰️)

and yes, this is indeed @maxphilippa ‘s gijinka design of them two

i'm genuinely just saying that the ii fandom should try to not put their ships on basic dynamics because when you watch the media itself you realize that they're wayyyy more complex than that, and that the content that gets made off it feels one dimensional and like people don't really get why their dynamic/friendship works at all, or simplify their attributes completely disregarding the other relationships the characters in said ship have.

nickloon works because of suitcase mattering so much to both of them. now this is something that most of the fandom doesn't get because they don't get nickel's character at all and often portray him as an gay asshole, but i've made a lot of analysis on his behaviour, so you can check my posts on him if you're interesed to learn why suitcase is so important to him too. however they're so much more than just "a weird gay thing", they're an story of growth and realizing that you were wrong, how much love they have and how you can learn and change for the better, as someone who went through that same thing and now i have a best friend thanks to that, seeing how people only put them on one dynamic disregarding completely the reason as to WHY they're like that is pretty boring. they work because had so many issues at hand and needed communication in order to work through it. their care towards one person (suitcase) is what made them be so angry at eachother and what ultimately made them become friends as well, but the way they genuinely ended up wanting to be friends and caring so deeply for eachother is what speaks the most. sure, nickel cared about baseball and all, but balloon was ultimately the reason as to why he lets go of the rough attitude, and decides that he does want to fix what he has done, that he wants to become a better person and friend.

lightbrush works as an POST canon ship, not as one that happens on s2, nor should people ignore the fact that paintbrush was often angered/stressed by lightbulb's behaviour for most of the show. it works because ultimately they're both struggling to come to terms with themselves, and lightbulb gets to finally understand why she was messing up so much and genuinely showed care for paintbrush, who was ultimately struggling with themselves, you know, coming out and all that. what people don't get by making their relationship just an "silly random fella x hot headed person" is that they're both so much more than that. lightbulb has depression and her terrible copying mechanisms are what made her suck so much as a team captain, and paintbrush wanted stability and for someone to actually listen to them for once. lightbulb gets to learn that life is much more complicated and that she has to be there for people if she wants genuine connections with others, and she helped paintbrush on such a complicated moment, showing that they can work on an actual friendship post show, and that they do care about eachotther after all.

fantube is so much more complicated and emotional from what the fandom usually portrays. downgrading them to just an "girlboss x malewife" feels like they're not getting their characters at all and also like it's missing the point of their arcs being entwined by still making them act like their s2 pre-ep 14 selfs. both fan and test tube had severe issues with social interaction and grasping on what's real and what not, emotional communication often being their biggest struggle, and constantly got on arguments with others thanks to the fact that they couldn't "fit in". test tube shows to generally struggle understanding people and their feelings, meanwhile fan is more so aware of those, he still struggles with understanding that the game is very real and that he can't keep running away from the fact that change IS very real. they both made eachother grow because fan made test tube aware of feelings, and test tube made fan aware of growing and learning. they're both pretty equal on their own terms and they had bad copying mechanisms through s2 as a whole, except for their elimination of course, where they make amends and start over. they trust eachother and are pretty much partners, whether romantic or not, they are a team. a duo. they're just trying their best after all, and still struggle a lot with feelings at times. but that's why they work it through talking: the thing that they couldn't do at all before.

i really like/enjoy these ships on their own and i kinda hope that the fandom starts to actually get the characters and understand them properly, i would've also talked about silvercandle, but that is a whole can of worms and after iii 18, i have an overall more negative/neutral stance on the fandom perception of them.

this is just a recollection of thoughts, too.
