#and BAM just like that i have a huge chunk of gretchen's background sorted out today

[deadbeandrop]

thinking about gretchen's family today

still gotta figure out why gretchen has the attitude she does but i wanna play around with different species parents so i'm thinking her family set up is crocodile dad, ant mother, twin younger ant siblings, and maybe an older sibling of sorts

i just drew this for her father. he's pushing 50 and is like a decade older than their mom. he used to be a criminal and is a stay at home dad taking care of their twins and gretchen now. he's trying to learn the computer as a second job cus they live paycheck to paycheck. he's mellowed out in recent years and is trying to be a better person and more optimistic cus his life rn is still better than what it was like before. gretchen thinks he's old and lame now and that he must've been way cooler back when he was a criminal but he's still trying to get through to her about that. he had a wife for a few years when he was younger before he got married to gretchen's mom

posting this specifically to say i love just sitting down and letting the ideas come to me and immediately getting attached to things so quickly i'm like *snaps fingers* okay sure let's get invested in gretchen's dad
