Oh, I loved the pages out now, by the way!! I want to comment on them but I don’t entirely know what I’d say, due to general busyness… but I always love Trinity Saga; your art was (and IS amazing as always), I KNEW Ignis didn’t work for Shadii… is he already a spy for the Empire? Oooh…?? Also! Alt!

The above drawing (read the alt text for that one) but without the window, the background moved slightly left, untilted (slash tilted slightly to the left relative to the piece shown earlier; had to do that because otherwise it looked weird within the window frame and what not), and no grainy effects over anything. To be frank, I think this version (even though it’s missing a few tweaks; the area around my stem has more light towards it in a way I cleaned up in the final/above rendition; my body veers out a little to the left [his right, towards the arm holding up the sign] and I think the outline around the text is a different color due to me working on a different layer with different rules for this because I’m liberal on my layer creation for… reasons, mostly storage but also just perfectionism and seeing if I can work inside the bounds due to this specific “Other” project [yes, I have multiple] only having three layers and having three layers for like 263 frames or something along those lines, probably more I forget the exact number) is better texture and lighting-wise.

To clarify, I’m not NOT proud of the final piece. I just think that if I, like, removed the white uneven borders from the sides of this one (due to a lack of background; it’s the default FlipAClip background behind it, golly!) by finishing the background and allowing Monkeyman’s torso to extend downwards, then… well… I think it would come out nicer. But that’s why I’m publishing this version of the drawing as well!

The art of spending a lot of time making nice things for my mutuals is not dead!! I love committing to harmless bits!! And being funny, or at least being something that’s funny to me and hopefully whimsical-adjacent to others!! Thank you for reading this alt text, Dani! And anyone else who may be reading this, but, primarily you. Probably prominently you. I’m not sure who else would be… but, uh… yeah! Now I’m just rambling until I reach the alt text character limit.

Humorous cut-off

Lots of hard-hitting questions in this one! Made me evaluate some things, haha. I took this quiz yesterday, and I was initially super upset that I didn’t get kindness in my top 2 because I pride myself on trying to be as kind as I can… but. Now I just feel… happy. Integrity’s a good quality, right?

My results on undertale.jadenthejaded.uk aka the Undertale soul quiz:

I got INTEGRITY (BLUE SOUL - #003CFF) as my result.

“Despite the pressure to change, I stayed true to myself.” can be seen under the photo of the blue soul.

Under that reads gray text saying “*A clear result, but not a lopsided one! patience is right behind it by 5.4 points.”

The statistics of my “FULL SPREAD” consist of the following:

Integrity, the dark blue soul, is at the top of the list, at 67%.

In second place, we have Patience, the light blue/aqua soul, at 61%.

Then, Kindness, the green soul, is also 61%, but it has a fewww pixels less on the bar.

In fourth place is Perseverance, the purple soul, at 35%. This marks the point where souls are less than 50%, and are thus less potent qualities within me (at least, according to the bounds of the quiz).

In fifth place is Justice, the yellow soul, at 34%.

In sixth place is Bravery, the orange soul, at 31%. I honestly expected this to be in last place (unconsciously; I was surprised to see it wasn’t the bottom one only after registering what the bottom one was/seeing it in second-to-last).

And finally, in seventh and last place, we have Determination, the red soul and the main one Frisk/Chara embody in Undertale. This is at 24%.

This is measured as follows: “50% is neutral. Above it you leaned towards that virtue, below it you leaned away.” Seems fairly self-explanatory, methinks.

I’m taking this quiz results with a grain of salt and choosing NOT to feel like it completely 100% accurately depicts me and that these are legitimate flaws detrimental to my person. I mean, is writing detailed alt text like this not a show of Determination? Nor Perseverance? Or is it an example of patient integrity, sticking true to myself and screen reader-friendliness while not compromising on my humor nor my attention to-detail?

I suppose if it was the latter the quiz COULD be seen as very very accurate. Hm. Well, do what you will with that!

A few blurbs relating to what Integrity is and potential flaws of those who hold it.

“WHAT IS INTEGRITY? (This text is in BLUE, as are the titles of the souls and the various headers found throughout, with the headers correlating to the soul color collected. As should go without saying, this bracketed text then isn’t in the image itself.

Integrity is consistency between what is said, what is done, and who one is. It is less about honesty as a policy than about the discomfort of being two different people depending on the circumstances, which you feel more sharply than most.

In practice it makes you predictable, in the good sense. People know what they're getting, you're trustworthy and your word is your bond, making you shine as a guiding light for others to follow.”

Well… I suppose I can see that. I put a lot of stake into my word, and I do hate lying. I don’t really see any reason to. I mean, I can see a reason too, but, 99 times out of 100 I will tell the truth and be as clear as I possibly can.

Plus, I do feel the core of my character has been rather consistent over the years. No real radical changes, apart from my humor and growing from potential flub-ups. I barely even have to think when I type things like this, it’s just… it’s very natural to me. I still DO think, of course — otherwise my alt text woudldloogkgkallotottmoorreellikkethsssss, but I’m sure you know what I mean.

“THE SHADOW OF ONE'S SOUL

Integrity is rigid, and it can quietly become too proud of itself. If unregulated, Integrity can make its own self-satisfaction more important than anything else, so long as it can tell itself that it's part of its identity. Being able to always tell the truth rarely requires hurting the ones who have to hear it.

It's also a way of never having to change. "This is who I am" is a very convenient wall to build and hide behind, and one that is difficult to break down.”

…hopefully I… am good at… working on mitigating these qualities, if anything else? Maybe…?

The last two blurbs relating to Integrity, this time relating to similar souls and how my second-most virtue affects it.

“OFTEN CONFUSED WITH JUSTICE (“Justice” isn’t yellow in the header due to the header being all blue; it IS yellow in the accompanying text, however.)

Integrity and Justice have many things in common: both have a strong moral compass, both are hard to sway, and both concern themselves with building a framework of rules.
(There’s no paragraph break here, simply one return like so, which I believe to be a mistake. I will add the paragraph break myself for clarity.)

The main difference is who these rules are pointed at: Integrity will use them for itself with little concern for others, while Justice holds everyone to those same standards.”

I suppose that makes sense? The description of Integrity here makes it seem a little… egotistical and/or self-serving, which I don’t like, but, I guess it could also just mean being self-conscious. And I am very conscious of the self!

“YOUR SECONDARY VIRTUE

Your second-strongest virtue is PATIENCE, at 61%.

Thanks to PATIENCE's willingness to wait until the time is right, the patient Integrous is able to spend a long time reasoning about who they want to become and how to reach that goal, planning their next step so that it doesn't betray their ideals and figuring out the best road to take along the way. They stay true to themselves and are calm and honest, qualities not easily found.

For the same reasons, the patient Integrous may end up stagnant if faced with choices that challenge their morals in ways they can't accept, or worse, if they lose sight of themselves along the way.

(In gray text:) Your lowest virtue is determination (24%). Of course, no one can be perfect at everything.”

I suppose that makes sense! I do struggle sometimes with morality, but, I do like staying true to myself and being honest! Calm… well, I suppose I convert most of my neurotic energy to media interests. So that’s… something!

Happy #makeaterriblecomicday, everyone! Looks like my artistry will be the cure to what ails ya! Or should I say… what SNAILS ya? Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! It’s funny because I added two letters to the beginning of ”ails” which forms a word noticeably kinda sorta mostly related to the comic at hand. Neat!

Panel 1: “Isn’t it funny? Well, not “funny, per se, but interesting. The circumstances of where we are. That so much hate can exist in the world, but we can CHOOSE to be kind. To smile. To say “hey’, and make someone’s day brighter.”

Panel 2: “I exist. My colors go outside the lines, and my lines themself are imperfect. But I can still feel. Make others feel. Without perfection. And what does perfection mean, if there is so much beauty in imperfection? To diverge from a given path, when done for yourself rather than the sake of it, is a wonderful thing. Why be normal when to be weird is so… unique. Different. Special. [Special is underlined.] Does my design make sense? Not especially. I’m an orange amalgamation with an “M” for an eye and a stem before my head. But I am not incomprehensible. I can be recognized, no matter how bizarre. And I find that wonderful.”

Panel 3: “For even an amateurish silhouette to convey my being, I must be doing SOMETHING right. Or… maybe something wrong. After all, if everything were combinations and permutations of perfect shapes, art would stand out all the less, wouldn’t it? Or at least be less freeing. But what is freedom, really? Is it the ability to choose your own choices? In a sense, yes. But I think there’s more to it than that. If you “make your own choices”, but are bound to the structure of your self-defined framework, would that not be true freedom? Maybe nothing matters. But if nothing matters, we can choose to do what makes us happy. Engage with those who make us happy. Friends, and family, and loved ones… and everyone else we love and care about. Appreciating those around you, and yourself, is freedom in my eyes. Saccharine? Perhaps. But if to love is to be trapped, then I don’t want to be free.”

Panel 4: “And I think that’s beautiful. Don’t you?”

Panel 5: A crudely drawn snail.

Panel 6: “Hoho, don’t give me THAT look! YOU’RE the one who said this was a good idea! (Or, wait, snails can’t talk… hold on a minute…)”

I really liked the Chibi Lucy, but dang; sorry you feel that rough. I hope you aren’t too stressed. I realize “stress” may not be entirely indicative of what it is you’re feeling, but still. You deserve less stress and strife and more breaks and… life? Anyway. Here’s some hopeful-feel-better art!!!

monkeyman2020 @monkeyman2020.bsky.social · 12/05/2026

🎨 Artists! Show what built your style! 🎨 A lot I didn’t include here, like Mario (3D World specifically; love Mario!), Invader Zim, Gumball, and Wander (which didn’t “build” it but influenced it later), Tom and Jerry (cartoony faces and body contortion??), and more! More info on each in alt text!!

A screencap of the Phineas and Ferb theme song, at the end where Candace yells “Mooooom! Phineas and Ferb are making a title sequence!” as Phineas gestures to the camera and Ferb keeps a firm grip on the red guitar in his hands. The floor is yellow and the background is gray, both with little triangles pseudo-tessellating the surfaces. I unfortunately couldn’t include any blue triangle backgrounds, since this was the picture I felt best represented the show outside of the clip art.

Phineas and Ferb (Seasons 1-4, to be specific; they’re the ones that influenced me and also I just don’t like Season 5 LOL) is like… probably the biggest influence to me. As an artist and a person. Like, I would obviously have SOME wordplay juice in me without it, because I would still have Undertale to fall back on. But I don’t know if I’d be as optimistic or upbeat. Or as into music, really! I’m listening to a Phineas and Ferb song as I write this, in fact!! “My Undead Mummy And Me”. It’s neat. And also features the word “conniption”. So, as you can see, it’s very much influenced my vocabulary.

Liiiike… they had a gag in one of the episodes (the one where Buford’s DNA brings a bunch of potatoes to life? “Lotsa Latkes”, I believe?) where Phineas and Ferb just have a list of incredibly long words that start with S, like “sesquipedalian” and “septuagenarian”? And it’s just… it’s me. It’s my essence. Phineas and Ferb is my essence. The title characters’ rampant creativity, Candace’s neuroticism, Perry and Doofenshmirtz’s wacky battles… it’s very… VERY me.

I love it!! I LOVE IT!!!!!

monkeyman2020 @monkeyman2020.bsky.social · 30/04/2026

Update for my #emmytherobot #vn / #visualnovel on #scratch! Emmy’s got a redesign, everyone! Not necessarily to be more comic-accurate, though that did factor in, but to look more… clean. Polished. Like a nandroid would be! Took a, uh… around year-long break. Whoops. Hopefully you all haven’t gone.

The new Emmy design is on the left, looking more polished than the old one. Her hair is symmetrical (apart from the left tuft being in front of the right tuft; from our perspective at least) and her buttons have a slight lilt to the right to signify the direction she’s facing. Her face has more of a curve at the bottom, and her dress looks more neat. I’m just now realizing the perspective is off because why would her face and top-half of her outfit look as though it’s facing us when every other part of her body looks as if it’s facing right… but, I digress. Even the crown looks cleaner, not fully even but no longer having any jagged edges and at the very least being more even than it was before.

To the right, we have a shocked Molly, one hand on her hip and staring at this new Emmy design with obvious shock. They’re both in front of the yellow background that has seemed to become a trademark for this visual novel.

Molly now looks annoyed, her eyelids down and her eyebrows furrowed as she holds her hands out in protest and asks (in a red text box that befits her, of course), rather presumptuously, “Where’s MY redesign?” Emmy’s smile has fallen into a neutral expression at this as she looks at Molly wordlessly.

A spot the difference of sorts! The Emmy from… more than a year ago now, wow, is on the left, and the new redesign of Emmy, from… almost a year ago (I procrastinated HARD on posting this) is on the right. Both are in their default smile, but their mouths are open because that was the only sprite I had left-over from the Emmy “pre-design” in the project W.I.P itself and I really didn’t want to scour through previous releases just to find one where her mouth was closed. I had to make a temporary new sprite just to show off the pre-design separately from the “new” Emmy, Somewhat obviously, this scenario will be impossible to find in the real game (or any demo scenarios), more impossible than the other mock-ups due to the fact I am probably not going to arrange this all again.

With a side-by-side comparison, some more changes can be sensed. Most notably, the redesign has: more rounded edges of Emmy’s uniform tufts, a smaller and straighter nose, and more ovular cheek-plates that don’t fully curve at the bottom, almost like a quarter-circle of sorts.

Emmy is looking at Amy, looking… very odd. The eyelids of her left eye (our left; her right) are moderately narrowed, while the eyelids of her right eye (our right; her left) are even more narrowed. Her mouth is small, to signify shock, with her eyebrows raised. Most notably, however, she can be seen with a very visible eye-shine; something that makes the eyes pop a bit more, in my opinion.

Amy is opposite Emmy, on the right (our right, her… well, she probably wouldn’t give a straight answer if you asked her which direction she was anyway), delighted and with her own eyebrows raised in joy instead of shock. Her bottom-eyelids are raised to further accentuate her happiness, and she’s speaking, an open smile with her top teeth visible.

Her text box reads, with text smaller than it usually is (and as such, it blends into the background a little bit more): “Wow Emmy it is so cool that your redesign has a toggle to give you an eye-shine and also your pupils face the direction your eyes are”

After this, the text continued under the textbox, partially cut off: “and also that your eyelids have been given a bunch of new costumes”

The text coalesces in the bottom-right corner in the screen, each individual level stacking on top of each other to create a smear of black pixels and jagged lines. Even though it’s not legible in the image whatsoever, what I wrote, for the sake of posterity and preservation, was: “and also that we can change the size of our text and also that all your emotions haven’t been fully redesigned yet and also that Monkeyman took almost a year long break from working on this project and also”

(I purposefully ended the text on an “and also” for the sake of comedy, don’t worry, there isn’t anything extra I forgot to add/am purposefully omitting. There is also no commas nor other typical grammatical touches in Amy’s dialogue, also for the sake of comedy. I feel as though out of all the Nandroids, she would be the one to use run-on sentences.)

…well… I want to do something! And I hereby promise I won’t beat myself up for not being able to do so, but the desire still stands! I’ll see what I may be able to finangle… soon! Probably! Hopefully! And finally, third of all… look! It’s pi! I unfortunately missed Pi Day, but look! Numbers! Neat!!

Dani’s drawing of her fallen angel persona in “tuff mode” (I believe that’s what the alt text of the image said? It’s hard to check really… aside from making this a draft, but, uh, well actually I guess I could do that. Hm. Never mind the option isn’t showing up for me), black headband and all, hard at work drawing Lucy and Ignis close to each other on her tablet. Serendipity!

But that’s not why I took this screenshot, nay. The reason is because the reposts are 3 and the likes are 14! 3 and 14! Like Pi! 3.14! And, if you’d forgive my indulgence, there’s also 1 comment; as in, 3.141, the next digit of Pi! What joy!!

monkeyman2020 @monkeyman2020.bsky.social · 19/02/2026

Update: Lucy has become microscopic. I don’t know what will happen if she keeps shrinking… will she implode? Will the UNIVERSE implode? Will we zoom in so much that the watermark will become gargantuan, large enough to the point the picture will just be of one solid color? There’s no way to know…

The Melonparfait signature has grown, now reading “{MELONPARFAIT???}” in befuddled confusion.

Lucy is nowhere to be seen, but if you look close enough, you can vaguely see a string of pixels that vaguely resemble a very small version of the “MWAHAHA~” chibi Lucy usually says. This implies that:

1. Lucy is microscopic here, unable to be denoted by even a single pixel (except maybe a single vague off-color pixel denoting that there MAY be SOMETHING akin to a coagulation of matter)

And 2. micro-Lucy’s vocal chords are so strong that her words can faintly be heard even when she’s literally a microorganism… what a feat!

010

monkeyman2020 @monkeyman2020.bsky.social · 19/02/2026

I’ve taken this to the logical extreme…! Of course, while it may be the logical extreme, it is lacking a certain… how you say… Lucy-ness to it. As such, you can take it to its PLAUSIBLE extreme and continue to make Lucy smaller while still keeping her individual characteristics! The joke lives on!!

A picture of “chibi Lucy’”, in quotations because the only thing shown off in the “drawing” is a cluster of 12 pixels (five orange ones, the same color as Chibi Lucy’s hair, and seven black ones that serve as an outline), with a drop shadow and a “MWAHAHA~” above her head. She must be speaking really loud for each letter to be as big as her!

Technically you COULD go smaller with five pixels (one orange, four as an outline) or just one (one orange/black pixel, that’s it)… but I felt this was better for the joke.

In the top-left corner, is Melonparfait’s drawing signature, bigger (relative to Lucy) and it instead reads “{MELONPARFAIT…?}” as, well, it’s debatable whether or not this constitutes.

I hope this is an adequate funny, as Ignis might say… well, he’d say the word “adequate” at least. And the word “I”.

monkeyman2020 @monkeyman2020.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

Okay okay, but in all seriousness I DID actually complete the quiz. I‘m not making the same mistake I did the first time (see: alt text), where I did fake results and no real ones. Here it is! I‘m Normal Type! Honestly, sort of expected. Hopefully I don’t come off “bland or simple at first. though.

My actual genuine results for “What Type of Gym Leader Should You Be?” (You’d think it would be “What Type Of Gym Leader Would You Be?”, but, that’s semantics.)

Under an ad for “The Autism Test” (I would surely score an A on it), my result is: Normal Type! A bunch of Normal Type Pokémon are pictured, like Pidgey, Eevee, Snorlax, Jigglypuff, Wigglytuff, Lickitung(?), and around a hundred others that I don’t know the name of. I didn’t even know half of the ones I DO know were normal type, honestly.

The description for this type reads:
“You got Normal Type!

Normal Type is often known as the ordinary type, one of little interest or shine, but it's quite the contrary! With only one weakness, Normal Types have an excellent defensive typing, only needing to worry about fighting types. Normal Type Pokémon also frequently gain moves from other types, giving them an advantage, even if they don't get any bonus for using them.

Normal Type Pokémon can live just about anywhere, and there are plenty of them! These Pokémon are adaptable and are capable of completing any task, whether it's being an HM Slave or bring down a strong opponent. And remember, just because you got the Normal Type doesn't mean you're any average trainer, you're a Gym Leader baby!

If you got this type, you're probably quite similar. Maybe a bit bland or simple at first, but a true jack of all trades, capable of bringing out the best of something. Show everyone just how great a trainer like you can be.”

Accurate? Who knows…

Raven Clemens (@ravenlynclemens.bsky.social)’s above post about how “zim says he hates the angry monkey show but he keeps watching 🤔🤨”, posted on (in my, monkeyman2020’s time zone) 4:56 PM, on January 28th, 2026. Everybody can reply.

The reason for this screenshot is that the post itself has 3 reposts, 3 replies, and 33 likes (not counting this comment, the like I have given the post after posting this reply, and any future replies, reposts, likes, etcetera), which is a coagulation of a variety of 3s. How extraordina3!

Crazy how removing one word completely changes the tone of the comic…

In panel 1, Sluggo has a sign around his torso, and is presenting it to Nancy. “I painted dis sign myself”, he says, to which Nancy replies “It LOOKS it” derisively, as in the next panel, she walks away and says “That grapefruit doesn’t look REAL”, leaving Sluggo somewhat offended.

In the third panel, he looks at a poster that says “Guns For Sale” (instead of “Water Guns For Sale” in the original comic) placed upon a window.

In the last panel, Sluggo shoots Nancy’s face from the center of the grapefruit in his sign, asking “Does it look real NOW?” Admittedly, I did have to remove some stray droplets to accentuate the effect, so it’s not JUST changing one word. Still, though.

Bonus Comic!! What juicy Lucy hijinks! One could even be inclined to call it… DEVILry! Not ME, to clarify. But, you know. Someone.

In the first panel of this relatively low effort comment, there is a wide-eyed (wide-M-ed?) persona me orange guy, blushing as I stare at @melonparfait.bsky.social’s rendition of Lucy in a devil costume, drawn by her and not me because I’ll be honest I didn’t really want to draw her LOL this is meant to be more of a bonus comic rather than a standalone thing in itself. She is sitting on something that looks suspiciously like the top of an Ignis pumpkin, as a Shade pumpkin and half of a Lime pumpkin are in the background. Also, a watermark for {MELON PARFAIT} to the left of her left horn. Because once again, this is not MINE!!!

In the second panel, the only thing changed from the first panel is that my mouth is now open as a speech bubble above my head has a stretched “a”. I am so in shock, that it isn’t even handwritten; it’s a font!

And finally, in the third panel, a red explosion replaces where my head is. Or my head explodes. Either one. It’s actually the SAME red explosion from when my head exploded in the reply-exclusive comic I made for Melonparfait when my persona said “UNDERTALE?!” aaaand, uh, yeah.

monkeyman2020 @monkeyman2020.bsky.social · 07/11/2025

Happy #trinitysaga #thursday! Or as I like to call it, #trinitysagathursday! Because there’s nothing SCARIER than having Trinity Saga Thursday on a Friday! Or being a week late for Halloween! I think this is proof that me and Ignis wouldn’t be… BEST chums… but, it also shows good lighting, so, eh.

Me (my cartoon persona guy, he’s orange with a white M on him and has a green stem) with a hand on his (my?) face and looking at the blue Ignis pumpkin from Melonparfait’s 2025 Halloween Trinity Saga celebration thing. The Ignis Pumpkin is on a brown table, as we’re both in a sort of… dark yellow room (which is less dark and more gray, but it still has some darkness to it). I have an eyebrow raised as I ask “…Soooo, you’re like, a *pumpkin* for Halloween, huh?”

“*pumpkin*” is bolded, and doesn’t have the asterisks around it.

The room has darkened, as the room is near enveloped completely in darkness and I (my cartoon sona) have noticeable shading on my person. My right arm has a light yellow shine to it, as the Ignis pumpkin’s eyes are glowing yellow in the dark (sort of like a Jack-O-Lantern). I’ve walked forward and the table is to the right of me in the background, the aforementioned Ignis pumpkin is staring at me in concern (an eyebrow lightly raised as well).

With a serious expression, eyebrows furrowed (which you can barely see due to the lack of light), I dissonantly announce “…Of course, you realize what this means, Ignis ol’ buddy ol’ pal ol’ Ig ol’ Nis…?”

Suddenly, my cartoon persona goober is brandishing a knife (with three special sparkles), enveloped in a red aura amongst a sea of blackness not dissimilar to a determined SOUL in a certain battle box. Anywho, I have a manic smile on my face, my M-eye-thing having specks of red and darkness in between its spaces as a red speech bubble with a jittery white outline proclaims “IT’S PUMPKIN CARVING SEASON…!” (“PUMPKIN CARVING” is noticeably bigger; the whole text is also jittery.)

In the bottom right corner, one of those special little red-and-white things appear, like, you know, when you kill someone in Among Us, I guess, and the Ignis pumpkin is within it, rattled and fearing for his life (and a shiny yellow exclamation mark above his head)!

In the final panel, we see the aftermath of the previous events; it turns out all that had transpired is that I had used the knife to carve a mustache onto the (now displeased and slightly exhausted instead of fearful) Ignis pumpkin on the table. To the left of him, is me, holding my hands together as I stare at him happily, the room now filled with light; more specifically, a light yellow room with a lighter yellow circle.

On the side of the table, there is a completely diegetic watermark of “monkeyman2020”, along with a second carving stating “11/7/2025”. What could these two things mean in tandem? Perhaps it is a way to identify the artist and the date this was drawn; or maybe it is some premonition on a terrible event that will befall this Monkeyman on that fateful day. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see…

I spent WAY too long on this… but I also think it’s really funny, so it balances out.

To start: I have a FNaF animation I’ve been working on for… a few years, I think. I procrastinate a lot and lose/gain motivation somewhat sporadically… and recently I’ve gained it! I’ve finished a night and a half for it, planning to go up to the full… 7 nights. Here’s a scene from Night 1! Golly!!

Zero indication this person is wearing a mask, unlike the person on the far left of this same panel and both Nancy and the person in the witch costume. I take this as confirmation that anthropomorphic animals exist in the Nancy-verse. They’re also wearing a suit and tie? To a costume party…?

That tiger-head person from panel 2 of this comic.

Guess the context for this Nancy comic! What would Sluggo say in the first panel to “naturally” lead into the rest? This is a reply so you can look at the context after making a guess (whether internally or though a comment)! Will I do this for more Nancy comics? Who knows…?!

To commemorate #dokidokiliteratureclub / #ddlc ‘s 8th anniversary, I wrote a fanfiction! Hooray! My first real “mature” fanfiction (since, you know, Doki Doki Literature Club), so viewer discretion is advised, but, yeah! It’s about a guy named Aubergine who gets put into DDLC. Natural hijinks ensue!

Aww, that IS a cute donut!! I wasn’t entirely sure if the animals(?) on the donut were fish or, what I feel is cuter, two goober-looking ducks… so I did a quick drawing of both! Unless it’s something else entirely. In which case… uh, still have art anyway…?

My first interpretation of the animals on the donut. It’s two silly looking ducks with little hair tufts on the top of their head, chillaxing and floating around the lily pad in their pond. Their beaks are angled downwards and their yellow wings grouped together (perhaps out of nervousness?) as their flippers face away from each other.

My second interpretation of the animals on the donut. It’s two fish with white scales and yellow fins, swimming around the lily pad in their pond. The fish’s little lips they use to eat fish food are at their front, as their two fins are a little perspective-ly offput… but, maybe they just like swimming like that around the lily pad.

Aww… well, it’s spelt “acute”, but the thought is nice regardless!

A quick drawing of my cartoon persona goober guy, only his usually circular head has been replaced with a (hopefully) acute triangle. An acute triangle has all of its angles below 90 degrees. He’s looking at the camera in front of a light gray background and giving a thumbs up! His fingers are… weird, though. Don’t pay too much attention to them, lest you go insane…

(This drawing was made 9/15/2025, Undertale’s 10th Anniversary, whoopee! Specifically for this. Because… why else would I have drawn my persona as an acute triangle. Actually… there are a lot of reasons, come to think of it. And also made by me, monkeyman2020. Two watermarks with these things listed are in the bottom-left and bottom-right corners of the drawing respectively.)

Holy Mol(nk)ey ! Really good, liked this one a lot! Love the shading and general colors of this a ton! …However, I DO have to inform you that… while you WERE close, I think that’s actually a picture of a tangerine. Sorry. They say third time’s the charm, so, maybe this is good in a way! Who knows?

A picture of a tangerine or two from https://www.daganghalal.com/Product/tangerine_53120 replaces the now SHADED, obviously now currently finished wonderful monkey art Dannie Animals did (unless she decides to add a background… which is plausible). She mistook a tangerine for an orange— err, “orenga”. It’s okay, Dannie! It happens to the best of us!

A picture of the pear Wikipedia page replaces the finished monkey art Dannie Animals did, as if to paint a story of her learning what a pear is after her earlier post about it (said “earlier post” referring to my previous edit that this is a sequel to). The Wikipedia page reads:

Pear

European pear branch with two pears (subtitling an image of such)

Pears are fruits produced and consumed around the world, growing on a tree and are harvested in late summer into mid-autumn. The pear tree and shrub are a species of genus Pyrus /ˈpaɪrəs/, in the family Rosaceae, bearing the pomaceous fruit of the same name. Several species of pears are valued for their edible fruit and juices, while others are cultivated as trees.

The tree is medium-sized and native to coastal and mildly temperate regions of Europe, North Africa, and Asia. Pear wood is one of the preferred materials in the manufacture of high-quality woodwind instruments and furniture.

About 3,000 known varieties of pears are grown worldwide, which vary in both shape and taste. The fruit is consumed fresh, canned, as juice, dried, or fermented as perry.

I was a little wary about whether or not I should do this, because I don’t want to deprive anyone else of the opportunity to be PART of said starter pack, and I’m a little wary of having all those… potential eyes on me… …but I’m putting my “bid” in, just in case! monkeyman2020, the last resort guy!

Been recording some new lines for the Mobile Mollusk extras video… … WOW, my SpongeBob voice is a lot worse than I thought it was. I used to pride myself on doing a good Tom Kenny voice… have I been living a lie? Or is it actually just good and I’m in my own head (very plausible)? No idea.

monkeyman2020 @monkeyman2020.bsky.social · 10/08/2025

Shoutout to the one viewer who watched Mobile Mollusk on their TV in its entirety. This is why we make content!! Oddly, my analytics say Mobile Mollusk has 102 views (it says 103 outside of the analytics…?), but this only lists 99 views. I wonder what those 3 other viewers used to watch…?

Statistics for Mobile Mollusk!

Total watch time is 2.2 hours! Total views are 99! Average percentage viewed: 11.3%!

Mobile phones make up the bulk of views, with 1.5 hours of watch time and 79 views (66.3% of watch time 79.8% of views in total!). Unfortunately, they also have the lowest average percentage viewed, of only 9.4%. Yikes.

Computers are next, with 0.5 hours of watch time (24.8% of watch time and 19.2% of views in total!) across 19 views. Not too shabby. Average percentage viewed: 14.7%. Also vaguely yikes.

Finally, we have TV! Singular, because there’s only one viewer. This viewer contributed to 0.2 hours of watch time with one sole view (8.9% of watch time and a clean 1.0% to top it off). They viewed, count it, 100 whole percents of the video! Golly! Isn’t that neat? Someone watched it on their television… my video… I wonder who it could ever be…

My “fave”, Ivy!!! But like, as a fun secret from… them. Who will no doubt inevitably see this within the ten days it takes for submissions to be pushed, but, still! It’s fun to do fun things for fun people! Have a happy birthday! (It would also be funny if you drew one of your own characters lol.)

A cropped image of Ivy, an OC by @melonparfait.bsky.social and @thatchner.bsky.social, from an April Fool’s thing I did! See that? I drew Ivy. That’s right. Unpopular pick, but a pick nonetheless.

If Dani sees this, she’s either going to suggest one of my OCs to make it even (“even” though she doesn’t have to!!), or probably and/or plausibly Ignis. Yay?!

monkeyman2020 @monkeyman2020.bsky.social · 05/08/2025

LOLLL NO WAY I GOT THE EXACT SAME THING AS DANI… I honestly don’t know how good I am at saying no to things. From experience, the answer is “not very”, so I guess it IS somewhat accurate! Haha… ha… My “sacrifice for others” count would be off the charts… if I didn’t have this bigger chart. Hooray!

“monkeyman2020 Core”. Hey, that’s me! I’m a “Mid-Autumn Core”. Autumn/Fall is my favorite season! Whoopee!

Square 1 of 9: “Remembers everything”, with a wing emoji. Well, I wouldn’t say EVERYTHING, but, you know, something similar to that. I forgot dates often, for example. But I would like to say I remember the small details! Maybe! Hopefully!

Square 2 of 9: “Living worry doll”, with a sad face emoji. This is true. I rarely ever NOT worry about people. That sounds like bragging, but it’s not meant to be!!

Square 3 of 9: “Sacrifices for others”, with a tear emoji. Sometimes I feel as if I prioritize others before myself! Quite often!! Trying to work on it, though. (I’m kind of being jokey about it in the post itself to distract myself from the feelings that accompany that kind of thinking, but! I know it’s probably only Dani going to be reading this, or Dani-adjacent people buzzword happenstance etcetera.)

Square 4 of 9: “Can’t say no”, with a big red X emoji. I can’t say no to that assessment! I don’t like the idea of making people upset via outright refusal. So I usually agree to do things I don’t want to do to make people happy. Which is part of the earlier “trying to work on” thing!

Square 5 of 9: “Detailed perfectionist”, with a… *squints and sweats nervously* …Japenese symbol? With a crown on top. Hahahahahahaha. YES.

Square 6 of 9: “Considers others’ comfort”, with a dog emoji. You gotta do what you gotta do.

Square 7 of 9: “Shy but wants to lead”, with an orange leaf emoji. Fairly accurate! I am quite, how you say, passenger-adjacent, but pulling a Miles Morales doing my own thing is always cool!

Square 8 of 9: “Touched by small things”, with a red heart emoji. Yep yep yep yep yep. No complaints. 1110% me.

Square 9 of 9 (the finale!): “Anxious without plans”, with a swirly-eyed person emoji who kind of looks like Lucy from Peanuts. You gotta do what you gotta 2. (As in, yes, I agree.)

“You’re losing your humanity, Flowey! Think about the people who care about you! Think about your best friend!” “Your Best Friend… I like the sound of that…”

Flowey Undertale, doing his evil face. His mouth is also moving, but that might change after I send this post. Probably. Plausibly.

An alternative of the joke mentioned would’ve been about someone named “Killore B. Kilt”, but I thought the “Your Best Friend” thing was funnier. Oh well.

monkeyman2020 @monkeyman2020.bsky.social · 26/07/2025

My only regret is that… I couldn’t write MORE! CURSE YOU, 200 CHARACTER LIMIT!!! …but, genuinely. Undertale means so much to me. My sense of humor, my stories, my ART, maybe even my sense of self, would be drastically different without it. Happy 10 year anniversary, #Undertale. Here’s to 10 more.

My little colored sprite I made on the left, monkeyman2020. My text reads:

“*Undertale is what got me into enjoying games so much. The story, the characters, the humor… it makes me want to make a game someday. With just ad many choices and easter eggs.”

Post your favorite characters that share the same voice actor (if you want to, of course)! Thomas James Kenny strikes again! Or, uh, Tom Kenny, for short. He might be VERY popular, but it actually took me a while to decide on character 4! Fortunately, I’ve been rewatching Super Hero Squad recently!

A picture of SpongeBob SquarePants, voiced by Tom Kenny, from… hm… what was that show’s name… it was on Nickelodeon… uhh, SpongeTom ShortPants?

Commander Peepers from Wander Over Yonder! I can do a fairly good voice impression of this guy, methinks. Him and SpongeBob. Not Two-Brains though. Odd.

Dr. Two-Brains from Wordgirl! Someday I want to do one of those ranking videos, but for Wordgirl… that’d be fun. I wonder if my followers would enjoy that!

“My followers”, in this instance, just being Dani (@melonparfait.bsky.social), since… since she’s probably the only person reading this alt text right now.

I guess technically wren (the person I’m quote-posting this from) could also?? Be reading this?? But I doubt it????

M.O.D.O.K / MODOK from The Super Hero Squad Show. It holds up surprisingly well; I don’t really like potty/gross-out humor, so that part of the show kind of falls flat for me, but they have REALLY funny visual gags.
