#thank you bh6

[xianhuashi-second-blog]

Big Hero 6 was 9 years ago, going on 10. Next year is when it takes place. So, this is an appreciation post for the movie, and what it’s done for me.

Trigger Warning ahead, the post mentions de@th and $u1c1d3, (spelled wrong so I don’t get flagged/shadow banned by the Tumblr gods.) complex grief and mentions of mental health.

BH6 came out when I was 4-5 (what a long time ago omfg-) so its importance to me was non existent. Me and my (much) Older brother watched it together a few years later in 2016. Young me didn’t know the nuance and severity of Hiro Hamada as a character. All I saw was “Two Asian siblings” that had a relationship like me and my brother. I tuned out the rest of the movie that night because I had *and still have* the attention span of a goldfish with dementia. Years later, very recently, (near the end of 2023, but school still in session ) he jumped. He passed away that day. I think I cried an ocean when I got the news from my father.

I cried, not only because I love and miss him with all I am, I sobbed because he was my other half, essentially another father. I cried because I felt, I knew I could have done something differently, so then maybe he’d be alive a bit longer. And, I cry because of all he put himself through for me. It’s hard to imagine the suffering and agony he put himself through to be there for me.

I have diagnosed High functioning Autism. My brother had a feeling, but he helped me understand how neurotypicals interact, how to fake making eye contact, how to hold up a conversation, learn body language, you name it. He even bought me noise canceling headphones because I’m sensitive to loud sounds, and fidget toys that I could use during school. My parents, on the other hand, thought I was just a spoilt brat who needs to pay attention to people, and stop being so picky with foods and their textures, a brat that has to be more social, stop shying away from kids my age. My brother was the one to convince them to get me tested for Autism, to prove I wasn’t just a bratty kid.

He sat through my ramblings about Steven Universe and The Stanley Parable. He helped me work through my meltdowns, and told me it wasn’t my fault that certain things make me upset.

I crumbled to the ground. My world was shattered. After I was “back into reality,” I realized my father was holding me in his arms. I hugged him tightly. My face was smushed against his chest so hardly that it felt like my cheek was about to break. It felt like him. It felt like how he’d wrap me in bear hugs. Weeks went by. We had his Funeral. I looked at the picture of him near his casket. It felt surreal knowing that the same man was inside of the wooden box, awaiting his burial. I wanted to cry, I wanted to scream and shout and cause myself to have a breakdown, but I physically couldn’t. I couldn’t bring myself to be angry at him either. So I just stood there, fingers slightly touching his coffin, where I knew his face would be.

Later on, being forced to go back to school the following week because the American school system sucks 🖕 🇺🇸

I got back home. I went on disney plus to elevate myself of my grief. I scrolled through the home screen, when Big Hero 6 showed up. I remembered watching it with him, so I convinced myself- despite not wanting reminders- to watch it. “Welcome to Nerd-school. Nerd.” I watched the fire alarms blair. The infamous “someone has to help” scene before he ran into the fire. Then, the scene where Hiro was sitting alone on the staircase in his memorial outfit. That frame alone was truly a perfect representation of sudden loss and grief. I felt seen, and acknowledged. I felt understood. I kept watching. Near the end, Hiro was trying to “fix Baymax” with the violence chip thing. “Is this what Tadashi would have wanted?” “It doesn’t matter!” And then finally, “Tadashi’s GONE! Tadashi’s… gone….” The feeling that scene gave me was complicated. But, it left me with the knowledge that he was with me in memory. That, of course, didn’t take away everything that was happening to me.

That movie helped me through complicated emotions, and I cannot thank the BH6 team enough for what they’ve done for me, and how that movie helped me. I still blame myself for what happened. I’m still grieving, and it’s still hard to live without him. And the idea that Tadashi doesn’t get to see his baby brother’s super hero team, yet said team wouldn’t exist without his death, helps me realize that without my brother’s death, I wouldn’t have such a kind community of fellow fans of the movie, who enjoy my art and my storytelling.

Thank you for all you’ve done. Thank you for everything. It was an honor to have you as my brother, and I miss you so much. I know not many people have good relationships with their older siblings right off the bat, so I am so grateful you could give me that friendship. I promise i’m gonna make you proud.

[gelatinous-globster]

some Hiro drawings! all my other art of him is old so I did a fresh page for him :]

@g4v1nsgun

[shan-bunbun]

Hello!! I’ve been looking through your blog and i absolutely love your art style! It’s so cute and charming!

Would it be possible for you to draw Callaghan or Krei? Or both? I love both of them but I particularly love the man failure that is Callaghan for some reason!

Thanks!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗

Hiii! Aw, thank you so much, I’m glad you like my art style i appreciate a lot💕💕

Ofc, here it is! This is my first time drawing ‘em :,)

Thank you for the time to ask me to draw ur characters and you’re welcome!!! 🤗

[ilivelikeimtrying]

I legitimately cannot believe it has been 10 years since Big Hero 6 absolutely changed my world for the better. I loved and still love this movie, even if I'm not as active as I used to be. It showed me how being a nerd, or being different, isn't just okay, but it's totally cool, and that you'll always find your people in others who are not only different, but also share something with you in heart or mind.

Commission for @ nochefiestas on twitter!

Can u draw obake holding a penguin while momakase stare at him as she thinks it is weird (bc I saw one of ur drawing about traina and nbb watch a vid about penguins)?

"...And this is???"

"The South African penguin."

i wish i could have gotten to making this much much sooner, but i suppose it can be considered a Christmas present now 😅

[grimalkinmessor]

Btw if a character's color scheme has purple as one of the main colors then they're on the ace spectrum. Yes I do make the rules

Some 'Stuck in a Moment' for WIP Wednesday?

@silentexplorer18

Woohoo! Thanks for asking for this! Interesting fact about this one, I actually almost lost the whole of Chapter 1 after an incident when the fic was about 4000 words done.

Scene and Dialogue from 'Stuck in a Moment':

------

“Hmmm, I don’ know about this, mate, doesn’ feel like this one’s gonna work eithe’.”

Hugo gave himself a little turn in his full-length mirror, assessing one of the many different outfits he had set up the night before. He wanted to look bloody good on their first official day at the program, how else was he going to intimidate those drongos.

“Hugh, please, I’ve been waitin' for you for two godsdamn hours.”

Hugo rolled his eyes and looked at his sister in the mirror, watching as she laid motionless on his bed staring at the ceiling like a bludger.

She wasn’t even looking at his clobber the cunt!

“Don’ start cracking the shits at me rellie,” he rolled his eyes and grabbed one of his shirts from his desk chair, putting it in front of himself to inspect, “I said to wait for me at the Uni, but nah, ya wanted to stay he’e ‘n bothe’ me.”

He heard his sib huff and groan behind him and clicked his tongue at their cranky little act. “But waitin’ alone would be totally whack, I’d look so dumb ‘n would prob snuff anyone grillin’ me, but ‘A been waitin’ on you forever !”

“Oh don’ spit at the dummy, ya big joey, gimme 5-”

“Yeah, 5 fuckin’ years.”

------

Thank you again for asking! I hope to see you next Wednesday!

Hiro and Tadashi’s relationship in a nutshell:

[leosabi]

any 3 from the photo asks!!! (kittyandco)

@kittyandco

❓ Post a weird/funny/confusing screenshot of your f/o with no context.

👞 Post a screenshot of your f/o’s shoes.

you mean his hooves

🤚 Post a screenshot of your f/o’s hand(s)!

this is one of my favorites. look how big his hands are compared to honey lemon's...

[gelatinous-globster]

Loved listening to this, dug up some of my old felonyglob art so they could be dancing to it!

so hey surprise, surprise I ended up posting a felonyglob playlist on 8tracks! it’s pretty small right now, but I’m planning to update it over time when I find more songs that fit them.

[drama-glob]

I honestly can't believe that I managed to reach anywhere near this many followers because I know so many others on this site are so much more talented and they come up with so many wonderfully creative/beautiful/funny things that they make me want to follow them, so it's incredible to think this many feel the same way about me.🥰💕 I hope you like what I made to celebrate the occasion since Globby, Ozzie and Upgrade represent some of the main fandoms I follow/do posts about and I thought it seemed appropriate to include them.😊💕 (As you can imagine, the fire took the longest to do, but I think it came out nicely 😅).

So, to @charsawdeath @enbydemirainbowbigfoot @pastaprincess @my-dark-lord @lagomorphlady @princessanieloid @itz-darktrax @ecosmowarrior @freedom-barricades-bighero16 @naty-cherry-bh6 @moltsu1123 @meandtheyeehaws @sweet-marigold @timkontheunsure @sputnstuff @fizzmodeus-lover @bloodmoon24 @multimonorail @alioks-blog @frillyfacefins and all the other +280 people (I'm sorry to any I didn't tags), I wholeheartedly say THANK YOU SO MUCH for letting me know you think what I make/have to say is neat and worth a look! I literally would not be here at this milestone without you and your support!!!! 🥰🥰🥰💖💖💖💖💖💖

IM LOSING IT AAAAAAAAAVAJSGJAHJSHA YOU SPOIL ME WHAT

youre gonna get so much more than a hint. literally i hope you go crazy.

obake absolutely was NOT going to let karmi blow up, momakase was def instructed to grab her if hiro couldn't pass the test, but he also knew hiro's limits and knew that somthing like that was within them

THE KREI TECH ONE IS SO THEM 😭😭

also!! i was thinking about having a parent teacher meeting, but i'm not sure i'll go with it, so i'll just say it here that the same tech he used to project tadashi through the contact lenses is compatible with zoom calls, kind of like v-tuber rigs, so he just attends meetings covertly thru the computer

AAAAAAA STILL SO HAPPY THANK YOU DR 😭

Okay before we go any further I really need you to read through sharpened teeth by @ghostpebble it took me all day to read and involved several turns about the parlor house and had me gnawing on my coffee cup it's good but it's intense

Saying that, you should never give me even a hint of Villain Dad Obake, I will grab that and never let go and I love love LOVE how that recontextualizes the whole of Season One and what it means for Season Two (although it does make me question what happens in "Fan Friction"--Obake, my dude, how much trust did you have that Hiro would save the day you're not getting dad of the year by leaving your adoptive daughter on an island slated to explode)

Anywho, big drawing is stuff that actually happened in the fic, although Obake's described as having a tie there and I put him in his usual outfit--since Baymax sits between them on the couch I couldn't help but picture Hiro giving Obake the stink-eye like this around Baymax X'D

As for the rest...I told you don't give me this kind of AU I will tackle it like Hobbes tackles Calvin I've been having a lot of fun picturing what the implications of Obake adopting Karmi means XD

Some transcripts because I know my writing can be hard to read:

Directly beneath big art piece in the bottom left-hand corner:

Karmi: Dad stop scaring my guy friends. Obake: Who, me? Hiro: YES YOU.

Upper right-hand corner:

Karmi: Isn't it great that my dad and your aunt get along?

Below that:

Obake: No honey I'm going to be home late. Yes it's Krei Tech. Yes Krei is an idiot.

Below that:

Professor Granville: Mr. Kane this is Professor Granville, I'm leaving a message to arrange a PTA meeting-- Obake: Time to be unavailable again.

And in the bottom right-hand corner:

Karmi: Bye Dad! Off to my internship! Obake: My little baby off to destroy people.

Yes that's a Mulan reference, only really intended to do that and the big drawing but I kept thinking on this AU and I want.

In other news Obake I really need to know how you're handling the logistics of having a minor attending college because from experience the college needs to keep in touch with the parents how are you doing this when Granville would recognize you.

Also yes those are corded phones--yes they come from a tech-savvy world where everyone would be using smart phones but I come from a generation that translates corded phone as quickly reads as phone and after drawing generic-phone in the sketches I went no wait that's funny and left it.

Anywho go read this fic already why did you click on the keep reading before reading the fic seriously.
