#anyway this was a really weird week and i really liked drawing this

[ineffablecabbage]

langdonmel for colorful fridge magnets or bentoncarter for vhs tapes/or documentary dvds !

(Went with Langdonmel on this one, because I didn't want to show my age and talk about VHS tapes lol. )

The way things happen in a divorce is this: sometimes things get divided up. Frank expects this for the major things - the sofa, the beds, the dressers, that sort of thing. What Frank does not expect to lose in the divorce is the brightly colored magnets that hold his kids' drawings to the fridge.

"You'll make new memories in your new place, right?" Abby says, which makes sense in a way that makes him an utter dick if he argues about.

So he goes shopping for magnets and … magnets in Target are boring and not befitting the masterpieces that his children will make him.

"Of course not," Mel says when he brings it up in the staff lounge. "They're for … offices, I think? People who don't really care about the look of the magnet, I guess? More the function."

"But it's a magnet," Frank protests. "The whole point is the look."

"Isn't the whole point … the magnetism?" Whitaker asks, but Frank ignores him, because he isn't talking to Whitaker.

"I kind of collect them," Mel says. "Well, not really anymore. But I did for a while. So I know some places that have some really nice niche magnets if you would prefer. I think we have the same day off this week? I could show you a couple of them, if you like."

"I would love that, actually," Frank says, genuinely, and he doesn't care about the weird look Whitaker gives him, because he's too busy seeing how pleased Mel looks with his response.

But then Whitaker says, "So… you're going on a date to pick out magnets?"

"It's not a date," Frank says, but then Mel frowns at him, so he thinks maybe it's the wrong response. "I mean… it could be a date. Is it a date?"

Mel pats his hand. "I have to go check on the head wound patient in North 20," she says.

"You know," Whitaker says after she's gone, "My parents still have the menu from the first place they went on a date? It was a little paper thing? You used to just throw them away. Anyway, they had it laminated and guess where they stuck it?"

"I have no idea," Frank says. "But unfortunately, I feel like you're going to tell me."

"On their fridge. With magnets."

"That's usually how you stick something on a fridge, yeah," Frank retorts.

"Something for you to think about," Whitaker answers with a shrug. "This weekend… when you're on your magnet hunting date."

Frank rolls his eyes and thinks this is why you are roommates with Santos.

But he does think about it.

And the first thing that goes up on his new fridge with those sparkly, brightly colored fridge magnets is a copy of an ice cream menu from the shop that he and Mel went on during their "magnet hunting date."

@sketchbookweek Day 1 | First Meeting

[myokk]

I wanted to share the tattoo I did yesterday!!

I really enjoyed the process🥹🫶 My “normal” art is generally a lot more detailed and time-consuming than these fanarts…something I genuinely LOVE is just spending lots of time focusing on the small details & forgetting everything else.

I’m overall really happy with how this turned out, I’ve been practicing A LOT😳 but even so, pork skin isn’t the same as a living, breathing human. I think this design might have been a BIT too complicated to be my first one but oh well…I learned a lot and pushing myself off the deep end is always how I learn best😆😆😤🙏

The Roombabot Diaries

"Even without full scan function, I still had my dark vision filters and my own mapping data, so with the fixed point of the corridor hatch, I could retrace my steps to the ramp. It just looked awkward and stupid because for the first part I had to navigate like a floor-cleaning bot." - Martha Wells, System Collapse (Video and audio description below the cut)

VIDEO ID:

An animated video of Murderbot, in a full environmental suit (featuring a little 'Perihelion' logo on its chest and an opaque helmet).

Murderbot is wandering around a dark space, the sound of its footsteps on the stone floor are audible. It walks in a straight line to the right until it hits a pillar with an audible 'thunk' noise and stops. A grumpy smiley face appears next to it.

It recalibrates, making little chirping calibrating sounds, then turns and moves towards the viewer until it seems to hit the camera (again with a 'thunk' noise and a little frowny smiley face next to it) and recalibrates again.

It turns its back to the viewer and starts walking again, this time seemingly hitting the wall in the back. It recalibrates again, then turns to the right and starts walking again. After a few seconds it stops briefly, two exclamation marks appear next to it along with a beeping noise, then it quickly walks out of frame.

What are some of Coffee's triggers? Like does he get freaked out by loud sounds (fireworks, thunder?, etc.) that sound reminiscent to gunshots? Or like when it's too crowded in an area will that give him a panic attack?

We all know he likes playing video games but do those games sometimes trigger him? If Coffee was playing COD would it send him spiraling? What do you think?

Love your work so far! <3

Hello! Excellent question!

Coffee's triggered by the "typical" stuff; gunshots, crowds, screaming, explosions, etc however, he has few strange/silly things that tend to send him into a panic/anxiety attack (it depends on the day which, really.)

He steers clear of any video game that has any of those things and tends to lean more towards story based games, platformers, or racing games. Although, a few video games have indeed sent him spiraling, mostly ones Wine picked up for him while the older was out and about (COD being one of them).

To add, a few uncommon triggers for him are gas ovens, vintage films, and small white dogs. He tries his best to avoid all of these things, in real life, and in the video game sphere. Though, he used to work at a pet supply store before leaving Ebott, so sometimes it was unavoidable.

He can sort of understand the "typical" triggers even if it annoys him that they upset him. However, the uncommon ones tend to make him embarrassed, so he tries not to let those show outwardly. To other people, he still looks his typical sort of mortally terrified, just quieter.

Sorta like this!

This took way too long to draw, hence the lateness in my reply to you. I hope that's okay! I didn't start out planning to line it or even color it, but well. Here we are!

Thank you for your question 💛 I hope I answered it well enough! I'm glad you're enjoying it!
