I want to learn to draw humans, so here is some Tina Kitten practice :)

....oh!

TeanaTurtle

Colouring isn’t my strong suit, but I am actually pretty proud of this drawing of Tina in a Sykunno hoodie.

Reference under the cut:

wait, Tina and Foolish are SO CUTE? Like, I've been aware of their dynamic tangentially, but just sitting here listening to them chat while Tina tries to draw Foolish as a pirate is so comfy and sweet? And they're so soft with each other? The banter is so light? This is so nice! :D

Tinakitten in a flouncy dress. ‘Nuff said.

oh my gosh Tina looks SO GOOD

Okay, Tina's made me cry. I survived through all the Munchies and the random celebs, but TinaKitten's adorable energy was too much for me. I'm sobbing. TINA AND DREAM ARE SO CUTEEEEE!!!! Sweethearts, the both of them <3

Okay, time to gush about c!Tina lore.

Her first stream on the SMP was 4 hours long, a respectable amount of time to get oriented and carve a path of her own. And her introduction really did cover so much of the SMP and it's history.

We got a lore summary from c!Sapnap's POV, which is so cool, and also much more thorough than Karl's tours. That gave Tina the backstory, the history directly from an OG.

Then Karl took over with his Kinoko sales pitch, and in the process hinted at some Tales things as well as making Kinoko Kingdom feel a bit more lived-in and less like a pretty but hollow shell.

THEN, we got some proper Callahan lore with Tina adopting him as her dog and hiring him as her security detail. I feel like we know exponentially more about c!Callahan now than we did before, and it's all thanks to Tina!

And finally, once Quackity got involved, well... Tina got her first *real* lore experience. He really went all-in with the capitalist pitch, showing so many of his character's shades and putting Tina in a bunch of situations where she had to make choices of her own and begin to craft her character. And then Bad's involvement tipped it over the edge when Tina finally reached a point where she stopped going along with everything and intentionally fought back. She got to experience the live improv and the way stories flow on the SMP, to see how all these people interact and work together in collaborative storytelling.

It all felt really welcoming, Quackity and Bad were being really intense but in a way that Tina was comfortable with.

We got tons of fiancés lore sprinkled in throughout, as well as other little lore hints about things to come.

And the rush of adrenalin I felt when Bad and Ant pulled that thing to get Tina to the holy land? Oh, I missed that feeling. Scripted lore just doesn't hit the same, y'know?

All in all, I'm super excited to see Tina play on the SMP more. Today was a super fun introduction, and definitely left me wanting more, exactly as it should. I'm super curious to see the interactions with people that haven't met before; I'm imagining Tina squaring off against Tommy and Tubbo or learning about the Syndicate from Techno and Phil. I am so excited!!!

Spreading the c!Tina and NotDream123 agenda. They are bffs; no I will not be taking criticism.
