#i've still got drawings from my childhood i made of me and randall together i think we're still a long way from me ever showing them 💀💀💀

[raziiyah]

hehehe so i actually have a post in my drafts that goes into detail about this but basically, i quite literally fell in love with randall as a kid the moment i laid my eyes on him

idk how child me came across it, but this image was my very first exposure to randall, and mi in general

when i first saw this picture i found it incredibly interesting and very cool (im going to just focus on the randall part here) but i was especially captivated by the purple lizard creature in the middle. like i could not stop looking at him LOL, i was literally fixated on him right from the get go and i became attatched to him from just seeing his face. his design was like the most perfect thing i had ever seen. not to mention i loved reptiles, dinosaurs, and cryptids and purple was my favorite colour. notably i really liked the look of the fronds on his head and thought they made him look so cool (its still my favorite feature of his)

the fact that most of his body is obscrured just added to the mystery and made me even more curious as to who he was. i was obsessed with this picture already, but my favorite part was definetely the purple reptilian guy in the center of it all. soon after i found out that the image was from a movie called "monsters, inc." and i was pretty much like "i HAVE to watch this movie" so i asked my dad to reserve the dvd at the library immediately lmao

im not 100% sure if this was before or after but in the meantime, i think i would draw the characters while waiting, those drawings are probably long gone :( but here's an old drawing of randall i still have

now i already loved this character just from seeing him, but i had no idea who he was, what he sounded like, or even what he really looked like aside from his face, but i was excited to find out. when i finally watched the movie, which i was already enjoying, and randall made his entrance i was so happy because it was cool to see this character i already went in really liking actually animated and not just a still image. i really liked his design. then i was like oh. i really like his voice. then i found out i liked his personality. his movements. his cocky attitude. his mannerisms. and um lets just say i fell in love with him lmao

i was delighted at every bit of screentime he had, and i actually became so attatched to him that even though i loved mike sulley and boo, his defeat literally made me hate them for a bit for hurting and banishing him 💀 again i was a child so pls don't take this seriously lmao 😭 i wanted boo to get home safe i just didn't want to see all that being done to him, i still really loved the characters and the movie by the end after i just had distain for them for a while bc if that LOL

i even hated needleman for a sec for imitating randall in the musical bit bc i felt it was mocking him 😭😭

i basically memorized every one of his scenes from his words and his mannerisms at a young age and would recreate them for fun and stuff haha, i'm not gonna go into detail but generally randall had a huge impact on my life and i don't think i'd be the same without him 😵‍💫 so yeah i uh basically fell in love with him at first sight then became head over heels over the course of the movie, still to this day i really really love him; perhaps even more so than i did when i was a kid (if that was even possible lol)

So Randall Chat I've got a question for y'all!

I just wanna know something.

We all talk about how much we love Randall...

But WHY exactly do you guys love Randall? What drew you all in the Lizard's side in particular? 🤔
