🎀 Devil on his shoulder 🎀

I like to think of Helga as a bit of a bad influence on Arnold, but in a positive way. Since Arnold has been so mature and responsible since he was pretty young, Helga helps encourage him to rebel and do more of what he wants instead of being a goody two shoes all the time.

Arnold acts like he doesn't like it, but he secretly likes to sneak out with Helga and do dumb teen stuff.

#hey arnold #helga pataki #betaruga-HA #teen helga is a mood #based off fanfiction

[betaruga]

because my love for Put the Heat On by @darnold-longkid is literally all I can think about rn, here's some very rough doodles of our main leads--

credit to @betaruga for outfit/design inspo?? you are now no longer alone in worshiping this fic with fanart 🫡🫡🫡 I hope to make more in the near future

and also an even rougher depiction a pivotal moment in the fic's opening chapter (under the cut bc SPOILERS??? And fic has nudity at bare min ✨)

((was super nervous cause idk how these guys would look in my style but : D I like 'em!!))

#hey arnold #shortaki #you guys LOOK AT THIS #These sketches kick ass #love the hair and the hands #and the little mini-arnolds on the bottom of the pages LMAO #dying

#she loves the boy but he isnt smart #shortaki #hey arnold #betaruga-HA #helga pataki #i hope Arnold remains clueless forever

REPOSTING OLD ART and i dont care.

i always imagine their wedding like something, idk clumsy? like, a mix of tenderness and old anticts. helga and arnild being as silly as they always been buuuut with some obvious growth. They are a unification of their dream versions in the married episode.

sunflowers are cool, btw.

#aaah love this

[betaruga]

this is, honest to god, one of the funniest ads ive seen in a long time.
