He’s so ugly, I love him

the captain frames for an animatic im working on :)

Genuine question but does post-crash Curly have an eyelid??

Sure there’s a whole meaning about now he’s forced to watch the consequences of his actions of letting Jimmy run around the ship after previously ignoring it and turning a blind eye (see what I did there). Now that he’s made a choice the game makes damn sure he sticks with it.

There is nothing left for him to do but watch what he has allowed to happen because his eye is the only thing he can really use on his own. He’s now a spectator in his own body, forced by Jimmy to take the pills, forced by Jimmy to eat his own flesh and forced by him to stay alive. Jimmy is the captain now and makes almost every choice for him, whether he wants that or not. The monster he allowed or just down right ignored (whether or not Curly could’ve actually done anything is actually difficult to say because of the way Pony express is and also the limited options on the ship. Be 100 percent aware I don’t completely blame curly in the slightest!!!) is now his saviour of sorts. And he has to live with the fact that he is only alive because Jimmy let him. That all he can do is watch the man that massacred his friends and caused their deaths save his life. You’re saved by the people you save.

But also his eye must be fucking dry?? Like eyeballs are no joke they gotta stay moist and if you don’t blink bacteria will start climbing in there and rooting around as they do after like a few weeks let alone a few days

ALSO THIS IS A VIDEO GAME SUSPEND YOUR DISBELIEF AND ALL THAT STUFF !!!!

Content: Angst, Jimmy, Curly choking down his pills

Synopsis: Keeping him sane from the pain is all that you can do.

WC: 710

Note: I'm rather rusty with the writing. It's been a while.

“Y/N,” Jimmy calls, snapping the nurse out of her thoughts. “Yes?” she answers, looking up at the man as her body tensed up ever so slightly. Her body is always prepared to punch the man in the face especially since everything seems to get worse now that he's in charge.

“He's making those noises again and Anya was the one who shut him up last time. It's your turn now.”

She still couldn't understand how Curly ever managed to be friends with someone as despicable as Jimmy, how he still even considered him a friend even after the blatant display of envy. She couldn't understand him.

Nevertheless “Right, I'll get to it” she didn't question the man and did as he said. She was in no state or mood to fight, especially knowing that there were more important things to worry about and that she couldn't let Curly suffer a second longer than he already has.

She rushed towards the Med-bay where she was met with a groaning and writhing Curly. The sight made her cringe, her skin crawl, and pity the incapacitated captain.

“Hnggrhhhh...” Curly groaned and whined uncontrollably.

The nurse quickly walked towards the table with the painkillers “Yes, captain. I know,” taking out a bunch of pills before hastily approaching his bed.

Curly looked up at her with his one eye still groaning and writhing, pleading despite his lack of words to make the pain end. She looked down at him with pity. This wasn't the captain Curly she knew.

“Yes, I know. I hear you.”

Unlike Jimmy, she was very gentle with handling Curly. She took the courtesy of slightly seating herself next to him so could lift his head just high enough to be able to swallow his pills somewhat easier.

“Hrnhhgg!” despite his squirming, she was able to keep a firm but gentle hold on the man as he then opened his mouth “I know, captain,” and gave him his pills one by one. What followed next was the agonising noise of Curly struggling to swallow his pills along with the jerking of his body. As much as it killed her to witness the sight, she held on to Curly firmly, assisting him and ensuring that he did not choke his pills.

At the end of the gruelling process, she let out a breath she wasn't aware she held. As she was about to lay Curly back down so she could head out, the unmistakable sound of soft, broken sobs reached her ears. Immediately, her eyes snapped down towards Curly, realising that he was... crying.

She did not know what to do or say but she could understand one thing from this moment: Curly did not want to be alone. Despite the mere twitches he was able to make with his body, she noticed his left arm slightly, ever so slightly reaching out towards her, as if begging her to stay.

His one eye remained trained on her and despite the lack of tears, she knew he was trying to cry and sob uncontrollably... but could not because of the pain. It crushed her, “No need, Curly,” but she gently held him in her arms against her abdomen “I'll stay,” gently and briefly caressing his head as she listened to his sobs. Her eyes teared up at the noise... This was not her once trustworthy and responsible captain, no... he was just a man. A broken man. And that hurt to know.

At that moment, it all began to sink in. The agony Curly is in, the likelihood of remaining in space and never being found, the monster that is Jimmy being in charge of things. What would become of Swansea, Anya, Daisuke? What would become of Curly?

What would become of her?

Tears clouded her already blurry vision as her arms instinctively held Curly closer, though it was to comfort herself more or less. Curly's despair forced her to face the reality that is.

“I'm sorry...” and as her tears cascaded down her cheeks, her hand gently caressing Curly's bandaged face as his eye stared up at her, “I'll stay,” she only could promise him that slight bit of comfort she can provide and wait for their inevitable doom...

“I'll be here.”

Whatever

Finally something Hey Arnold related that has nothing to do with my fan character! I l know it's not near Valentine's day yet, but I’ve been making shipping art of underrated to nonexistent HA ships that I figured I might as well make it into Valentine's day thing. Plus I go back to my college course on the third of February so wanted to put this out quickly. I wanted to do this because I see no art for SidxSheena, ArniexGloria, and LorenzoxNadine that I wanted to do my part so I can say there is at least one. I suppose the wording of some of these cards I have a feeling it shouldn’t be used as actual cards, but I prefer attempting to be funny over being overly mushy with Valentine's stuff. Either way, I hope at least one of these gave you a chuckle or two. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Credit: Hey Arnold - Craig Bartlett

Hey Arnold! Curly Headcanon

Thanks to Haley Joel Osment voicing Curly in “Deconstructing Arnold” I now picture the little freak going through an anime phase and donning a Sora-like haircut as a teenager.

No one will change my mind about it!

I saw a post on here about the whole "Curly talking with those dog buttons" situation, but the reblogs and comments were off, so I have to make my own post to express my thoughts on it

I saw a few seconds of that video, and just that was enough to make me feel rather uncomfortable. My first thought was, wouldn't that be painful? Forcing this man with *literally no skin* to lean forward and smack one of those plastic buttons with his stubs because he has no hands? (seriously. those buttons can be a little tough, you have to put pressure, you can't just tap on them)

aside from the logistics of it, it seems the mouthwashing fandom forgets Curly is still a man. A grown adult, with a fully functioning mind and sense of self..I can only imagine how dehumanizing it would be, to be forced to sit on the floor and use buttons made for *dogs* while already being in possibly the worst situation someone could be in.

the people acting like it's cute or funny are a huge part of this problem - acting like the suffering of a severely injured and extremely disabled quadruple amputee is something funny or silly or quirky. even myself with my developmental disabilities would be absolutely disgusted and ashamed if someone saw me struggling with a meltdown or something and treating it like some cute moment. Yes, Curly is fictional , but treating him like no more than a silly gore mascot really says a lot about how some of you guys feel about real disabled people.

Posting this here because yt shorts is ruining the quality T-T

cuddle headcannons with daisuke, anya, and curly<3

masterlist

Daisuke

He's a soft, fluffy cuddler.

He usually let's you sit on his lap, smiling and trying to tickle you occasionally, which results in the whole crew rushing to your room after you scream at him to stop

Sometumes you'll sit on his lap at the table. He giggles and wraps his arms around your waist

When he's tired, he heads straight to you and pulls you into his room, forces you to lay down, and slam dunks himself onto your chest

Or when your tired, he whines at you to go to bed

Refusing to go with you? Too bad, he rips you away from whatever room your in and drags you by the collar to your room. For the youngest in the group he sure was strong

If you accept to go with him, he smiles and runs with his hand in yours to whoevers room is closest. Even if it's not the either of yours

Anya

She's kind of scared to touch you

Not that she doesn't want to, she just doesn't know what the correct time to is. But she always smiles when she feels your arms around her

After waking up, she heads to you and pats your head to let you know she's awake. She nuzzles your head against yours when you hug her with a small "good morning". She finds you adorable when you wake up

Sometimes she offers to let you help in the med bay, but you just end up sitting on the counter together with your head on her shoulder

I feel like she would be the careful kind. she would warn you before she moves around or touches you

But when you settled down, she kisses the top of your head and let's you snuggle into her

Curly

Oh my lord don't even start with him

LOVES cuddling. 100% lives for it.

He doesn't care about what tasks or things he has to take care of, he sees you and suddenly everything stops. Before you know it, youre on his lap with his legs around your waist like he was trying to protect you from something

Oh that silly little cake you had to make for a fellow employees birthday? He already pre-made it so he could spend the morning cuddling with you

He hates that his title as captain is the only thing in his way from being with you the whole day, but he makes it work. He even lets you sit in the controo center with him!

He loves PDA, everybody finds it cute but a little overbearing

WASH YOU MOUTH, BRUh

my recent mothwashing sketches!

every day I fall in love with this game more and more (as well as with the fandom..yall too funny its INSANE.)

I also want to draw Anya more…

check my Telegram Channel!

POV: you sneezed on the tulpar

i love curly shepard so much I haven't drawn him because I need to perfect his design. Its very important to me.

Ignoring the warning signs

Nervous to post this but I need to Cope!! They all exist within the video game itself, but are essentially actors that play their part for the game’s story.

Outside of when he needs to perform his role, I’d imagine that Jimmy is actually an extremely nice person who feels horrified/guilty at his ingame actions. He likes to apologize constantly for them and probably even calls himself James outside of the game to distance himself.

Maybe he plays stardew valley or minecraft with the others in their spare time…

My first addition to this wonderful game.

next comes spite.
