#NovaClearwater

Last April I got to visit the lovely @chucklecove | @awkwardalynn for my birthday and we got silly in my sketchbook. I drew a page while waiting for her to come out of work and then she drew some and yeah--I’ve-been-meaning-to-scan-anduploadthiswoops.

Nova’s still plotting to take Kielbasa.

Nova// 3. Scars or painful spots// 6. Their vices (physical or emotional)// 10. Fears/phobias// 13. What gets them flustered// 18. Things they’ll never admit

3. Scars or painful spots:-There’s a scar on the back of her neck due to falling off of a swingset as a child, and another scar on her ankle from being bit by a rattlesnake as a teenager when she visited her cousins in Arizona. She lived through the second ordeal, thank god, but right foot is sometimes fuzzy because of the impacted muscle.

6. Their vices (physical or emotional):-She smokes when stressed. It helps calm her down and set her at ease. Some days she’ll go through an entire pack before getting calm. Other times she’ll be off smoking for a month.-She’s also a procrastinator and will leave most things till the last minute to do, especially if it’s something she’s  forced and doesn’t want to do at all. It’s just not in the stars. Can’t do it. Not today.

10. Fears/Phobias:-Because of the snake bite, she’s still uneasy around snakes. She’s also afraid of death and doesn’t like E.T. the alien. Yes, the last one is weird but it scared her to bits when she first saw the movie as a child.

13. What gets them flustered.-Getting into an actual relationship again. The most she’s gone since high school and after Marshall’s death were mostly one-sided crushes. They usually faded out before she could act on the feelings and she’s personally not ready to fully dive into that aspect again. It doesn’t fluster her as much as it scares her but hey, that’s life for you. -She also gets normally flustered at seeing people wear socks and sandals–it’s just–no. Stop that. That’s really stupid, what the hell??

18. Things they’ll never admit. -How much Marshall’s death affected her. There were a lot of “what-could-have-been’s” tied with him and the fact that none of them had closure had upseted her greatly. She couldn’t get it down in words about how shook up she was about it, only able to cry out finally when it got too much to keep down in her mind any longer.

Nova was born and raised for majority of her childhood in Phoenix, Arizona and most of her relatives still live there. She visits from time to time during summers and sometimes she brings a friend along.

Weather between Arizona and Washington constrast greatly, and at one point Mal cried, "IT'S LIKE STANDING ON THE SURFACE OF THE SUN" because it's so hot.

“Never buy weed from a van where it’s been baking all day in the sun.”

Mal and Nova in high school. Just a funny blurb I drew in....February and--yeah I have no excuse why I didn’t post this sooner.

I’m at the laundromat for awhile until our dryer’s fixed so I decided to try Inktober while waiting.

Nova’s apartment has a communal laundromat that pays for itself within the rent. She gets her laundry done at night like an anti-social butterfly.

She’s also one of the few people that still reads regular newspapers. Weirdo.

Thought it’d be fun to try and do some of Nova’s tattoos for an exercise.

Her first tattoo was the butterfly one; It sparked the interest for her to pursue it professionally as an Adult.

“Now you’re gone, but I’ll be okay. Your hot whiskey eyes have fanned the flames. Maybe I’ll burn a little brighter tonight. Let the fire breathe me back to life!

Baby, you were my picket fence. I miss missing you now and then. Chlorine-kissed, summer-skin I miss missing you now and then.”

These two grew on me. My lovey-dovey children.

Yes, he does have an NxM tattoo. Nova designed it for him.

He’s dead now.

-“They finally moved the fans. Thank god, ‘cause you know I was gonna say something. But I don’t work here.” -“Mala, why don’t you work here?” -“Ew, no. You don’t shit where you eat.”

Shopping adventures with Nova and Malary--you know when you frequent a store so much you end up knowing just as much as the workers? (x)

Can you tell how much I love Broad City?

- "[In Fake French Accent] Me and a little crumpet like yourself could make beautiful bongo music together~"

- "Whoa. Easy boy, you're fogging up my karma."

Yet another Goofy Movie Screen cap redraw. This time the Disco Scene! I needed a victim for Nova to brush off.

'Cause we hate what you do And we hate your whole crew. So please don't stay in touch~!

------- A Song I've had in mind for weeks that I think goes well with Nova's low-key personality. (Fuck you by Lily Allen.)

She's that cool aunt you can bring to PTA meetings who will get into a fight with Social-Injustice-Rachel. That mom who starts up petty little fights or problems no one thought about and makes a huge fuss until Cool Aunt Nova gives a snide comment to shut them up.

“Riiiight. Whatever you say, man.”

Parody of this here (x)

As a Tattoo Artist, Nova gets weird stories from equally weird clients. She doesn't judge because 'to each their own fandom' .......Them manly tears aren't helping, tho.

I like Apocalypse AUs Apparently

I've had this reoccurring thought/dream that Nova's in one. Idk if there's zombies or some kind of The Purge madness outbreak. But all she has armed with her are: -A berzoi dog (named Cosmo probably.) -A beat up, yet very reliable 1999 Jeep Wrangler -And a bag of maps she hand-drawn herself so as she'd know where she's going and where she's been.

I won't be scanning or inking this anytime soon, but this is another familiar screenshot redraw....from a few weeks ago, actually.

[paulapencils]

Mal and Nova, both equally disgusted by Tony. Creepy-ass acquaintance who happens to work as a Locksmith,

They’re definitely moving.

I’d upload the link of which this was inspired by but the video isn’t allowed in some companies, sadly.

[paulapencils]

Smmmmmokin! (x)

Nova isn’t a huge smoker, but does so when she’s stressed out. @allybooarts mentioned Noah would hook her up with a join, sooooooo…yeah.

[alwaysthinkingaboutthem]

Nova is a Doctor Who fan. Nova: weee woo woo wee woo
