Team mom & dad go to Summer Camp! 🌱

Woah you clicked the readmore on purpose?? 😳 Thank you....

Enjoy these little fun facts:

This is all basically a super self-indulgent AU where I get to put aspects of my irl job into my ocs..... And yes sometimes my job has me and my coworkers running into rivers and seeing if we can catch frogs in the stream-- we see salamanders too! It often crosses my mind a lot where I'm working and I think "wow, Audrey would LOVE to be here" or "Ted would be over the moon to see stuff like this" and it makes me happy ^_^

I work with a lot of passionate folks with all kinds of interests.... its so easy for their enthusiasm to rub off on me. I'm really grateful for my job, even though I'm basically Ted up there and I'm a big nature newbie. I learn a lot every single day!

MIRUUUUU, HIIII IVE BEEN A FAN SINCE 2018🥹🥹 I JUST LOVE HOW YOU PROGRESSED THESE PAST YEARS, YOUR ART KEES GETTING BETTER AND BETTER AND SO IS YOUR AUDREY🩷

AND AND, SHE GIVES ME SO MUCH RE(Resident Evil) VIBESS, YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY DRAW HER AS ALICE OR ADA WONG IF EVER YOU HAVE THE TIMEEE, LOVE LOTSSSSSS (im freaking out, this is my first time ever interacting with you after being silent all these years)

Wow thank you for following me for 6 years!! QvQ I'm happy that you think my art has improved because i'm really not sure about it sometimes 😂 Thanks for appreciating my Audrey as well, that's really sweet of you. ;w;

I unfortunately know absolutely nothing about Resident Evil, BUT I asked a few friends and one of them told me that Audrey Grace is more like Leon Kennedy than either Alice or Ada, so here she is in his most famous mod outfit, hope you still like it aha

I don't think she's learned how to use a gun yet so that's just a prop she's holding LMAO

Once-ler’s guitar hop + other aesthetics considered in Earth’s context, giant ramble

ages ago, i wondered where Once-ler’s guitar hop came from, I was certain I saw it, but I couldn’t remember where.

Then I saw the hop again.

And we know Marty Mcfly probably pulled his moves from somewhere.

Chuck Berry!

It says Duck-walk up there, but Chuck Berry also did that one-legged hop, (and some consider the hop as a type of duckwalk).

And the Once-ler’s hip-moving moves could be influence from Elvis. Elvis was nicknamed Elvis the Pelvis because of how much he moved, well, his pelvis.

The pelvis moving of Elvis among his performances was mildly scandalous.

From Wikipedia:

“Ben Gross of the New York Daily News opined that popular music “has reached its lowest depths in the ‘grunt and groin’ antics of one Elvis Presley. … Elvis, who rotates his pelvis … gave an exhibition that was suggestive and vulgar, tinged with the kind of animalism that should be confined to dives and bordellos”.[109] Ed Sullivan, whose own variety show was the nation’s most popular, declared him “unfit for family viewing”.[110] To Presley’s displeasure, he soon found himself being referred to as “Elvis the Pelvis”, which he called “one of the most childish expressions I ever heard, comin’ from an adult.”[111]”

So there’s possibly some 50′s influence on his movements.

It’s a really long document so i hope I didn’t have blatant errors like accidentally deleting half a paragraph.

Also, remember this gif of Paul shaking his hair. You’ll need it, since PDFs don’t have animated gifs and I refer to this at one point.

(And if you have read my entire ramble, thank you!)

"Sometimes it gets a little lonely here— I'm glad I got a little friend like you."

YAYAY heres a lil more info about my onceler au:

His name is universe-ler! You can just call him uni :3 He's basically a guardian that governs all the onceler aus/universes and makes sure that nothing will disrupt the timelines that lead to certain events of the aus!

He has a magic staff in which he can create anything he wants! He uses it to mainly create different thneed varieties. Uni usually gets a little lonely at times because he's like the only one there :( So I gave him a lil lorax to keep him company <3

#zinxii #onceler #universe ler #lorax #so this is the guy a onceler oc has to fight if they wanna escape onceler destiny eh? xD #cool pixel art

I’m new but I love ur art sm and I have to ask do you have any aus or like comics regarding The Lorax?

Welcome to the fandom and thank you aww! ;w; I don't draw comics but I have an Audrey OC named Audrey Grace that I've put into fandom-wide open AUs like Camp Weehawken and Truffula Flu!

Oh lord, i hope that the previous thing didnt sound too mean or anything. I was just curious because my brain doesnt manage to let me stay hyperfixated on a fandom or a thing for longer than that, haha.

Oh no you were totally okay!! 😄 I loved answering. I'm sorry if I sounded pissed off in my answer or something though omg that was not my intention at all 😭 I just wanted to explain it in depth because I feel like I'm in the minority. I'm not sure if I even get hyperfixations tbh dvjvd

How do you manage to stay in a fandom for so long? I'm always mario jumping from fandom to fandom every 3-6 months

Oh, so many reasons. I think I've answered this before but in a much more concise way so idk what happened here when I tried to answer again from scratch but uhhh I wrote a lot lol?? Long ramble time. 😂

I found this fandom at a point in my life when I really emotionally needed it, so I got really attached to it. I stayed because of the friends I've made in it and because of the OCs I got invested in, both mine and other people's, and every so often something invigorated my interest like a new roleplay I got to join or new concept art that got discovered.

I'm also just a really dedicated person (for better or worse) and I still have ideas that I want to get out there creatively. I don't get a lot of free time, and I rarely have energy for hobbies after work so my time passes slowly in the sense that I may still be in the middle of appreciating a thing, meanwhile everyone else has already sped through and processed it and moved on.

So I've gotta be really careful about choosing what to spend my limited time and energy on. It sometimes takes me a whole month to draw a piece of art that I'm proud of. It would be a huge waste of my time to spend so much energy on a fandom that after 3 months I think I might not care about anymore.

And like, if it's going to take me a month to draw 1 thing, what am I going to choose? Fanart of a character from a show that I just finished that I might possibly move on from in 3 months? Or art of my darling Audrey OC that I've been developing for years and whom I know will always bring me joy for the rest of my life? It's not a hard choice! Like I'm sure it's obvious by now but I really love my oc. It's gotten to the point that I look for her in every media I consume. I like characters because they remind me of her, and I like plots because they remind me of her. When I watch a movie and end up loving it, I'm not going to be drawing fanart for that movie, I'm more likely going to be drawing Audrey Grace in some way that's consciously or subconsciously inspired by that movie. I'm sure other people with beloved ocs can relate to that, too.

Back to media consumption: I'm constantly watching new things, shows, movies, letsplays, and I'm able to love them just fine, but I never participate in their fandoms (unless you count reblogging fanart as participation. I personally don't). I just don't feel motivated to and I feel like it's unnecessary. I shouldn't need to prove anything. You can appreciate media without engaging in fandom. In fact, I encourage it, because a lot of what I see in fandoms these days is just stressful, at least to me. And I don't want that stress. I'm much happier as a person when I don't have to read other people's opinions, discourse and drama over some show's themes or ships or whatever. I can just quietly revel in my own enjoyment of the show without being tainted by anything else, and my love for it is not any less valid than the person who's livetweeting their loud emotions while watching the same show and putting out fanart 1 hour after every episode. Bless them, though.

And I guess that's mostly what I do these days with the Onceler fandom, too. Appreciating it more quietly these days, I mean. It's just that...I have a fandom related oc so I draw her. And I have friends here so we do stuff together and we reference fandom inside jokes no matter what activity we're doing. If I encounter art that deeply moves me personally, I reblog it, just like I reblog art for other media on my sideblog. When anyone has a fandom history related question, I'm eager to answer because I don't want the past to be misrepresented or misunderstood. And also, since it's been over a decade, this fandom has long ago become my daily normal. I can do whatever I like but I can't really "leave" this fandom unless I delete all my social media and cut off all my online friends. And delete my memories of the past 12 years of my life as well. Just become a completely different person.

So I guess I can reverse the sentiment: I can't relate to people who hop fandoms every 3 to 6 months. 😭 All the power to you, but that's just not the way I happen to live my life, nor the way I engage with the media I consume! The Once-ler fandom was the one exception. It was special.

But who knows, anything can happen in the future. I'm not so proud that I'm purposely blocking myself from looking at other fandoms or anything. I just go with the flow! Right now I'm slowly making my way through jjba, an omori playthrough, a Plague Tale playthrough, and urusei yatsura season 2 (the new anime). Probably nothing will come out of any it except for a bunch of Audrey inspos, but again, who knows. XD I'm also going to an idkhow concert soon, and I've bought merch from their store already. Does that count as participating in a fandom? Maybe not. But now that I think of it, even if I "join" another fandom, it doesn't necessarily mean I'd leave the onceler fandom either, so maybe it wouldn't matter haha.

Thank you for the ask and thank you to anyone who's read my entire answer!
