Day 8 - Creator's Choice!!

I admit, I had a heck of a time choosing what I wanted the last picture to be. I'm not the best at coming up with things on the fly sometimes, but I thought that I should finally announce properly that I'm working on a fanfic based off of this prompt I got off tumblr with a title picture I decided to finally draw! (Which, funnily enough, is my working title. Seriously: "Hey Arnold! Fanfic From This Prompt I Got Off Of Tumblr" is the first thing in my doc file.)

Essentially, it's an AU where Helga and Curly become closer friends and all the hijinks that ensue with that. They do NOT become a couple, but they do help bring out the best in each other and help the other with the affections of their crushes, Rhonda and Arnold (who are now noticing Curly and Helga because the two have pranked [most of] PS118 into thinking they're dating).

I don't have many chapters pre-written, I'm unsure where to publish them, and I don't even have a title. But I'm having so much fun writing about these goobers that I feel as though I should publish it on one of the many sites soon... As soon as I have a title! If you have an idea for a title, comment an idea and maybe I'll use it! (And thank you, of course.)

But with that, I have successfully made it through an entire Shortaki Week! On time! It's been an absolutely amazing ride and I enjoyed every moment! Thank you to my new fans! Thank you for all your lovely comments! Thank you other artists who participated! Thank you to Craig who was so awesome to 'like' two of my pictures (at time of writing)! Thank YOU reading this! I had an absolute blast making all this art and I hope to make a lot more soon! Thank you all again!

Ps118 I WILL CALL UPON THE LORD🙌🏽🙏🙌🏽🙏🙌🏽🙏🙌🏽PTLJC

[iamwhelmed]

I’d kill for a fanfiction where Helga and Curly get stuck over summer, between elementary and middle school, together and unintentionally become, like, best friends. They bond over being a little eccentric, and over art, and over unrequited love (assuming, of course, Jungle Movie doesn’t happen-- or at least doesn’t happen until, like, way later).

They’re both so obnoxious together, they enable each other like nobody else. They’re making loud, unintelligible, annoying noises whenever somebody (likely Arnold, Lila, Sid...) starts getting preachy or annoying: “MAWP. MAWP. MAWP. See? That’s what you sound like”.

Curly starts completing Helga’s sentences-- but purposely at inopportune moments because she hates it when he does that. He always gives her this little shit-eating grin.

Curly starts getting manic and Helga just grabs him by the shoulders and goes: “Look at me. Look at me. Look at me! Does that sound sane? Does that sound like a thing normal people would do?” And she gets him to maybe back off of letting all the animals in the zoo loose, but she’ll help him sneak into the chimpanzee pen after dark so he can fight one.

Helga starts panicking about her secret love for Arnold getting out and Curly walks her through five different plans of execution to make the Scary Feeling™ go away. Phoebe is the one who tries (sometimes fails) to shut these mission ideas down.

He and Helga have a pact to get platonically married if they hit 30 and are still single. Curly has picked out the suit for this occasion and has a catalogue of possible dresses for Helga, who he knows will be picky. Helga has booked the venue just in case, because she’s nothing if not pragmatic.

Boys will walk up to hit on Helga, and Curly leans back and rates their courting tactics on a scale of 1 to 10, and nobody ever gets more than a 4. Curly will cup his hands over his mouth and audibly mock them after they inevitably get shut down because Helga is a one-man girl: “Your approach was commonplace, your appeal was substandard, and you should feel bad!” Phoebe will smack him after this.

Helga has adopted this rating system for just about anything-- his mental state, hotness of girls, comfort level-- almost like a secret language akin to Ice Cream, but she mainly uses it to ask Curly about his opinions in cinema. Phoebe is the only one who can keep up with what is being communicated, because they cut out so many words that are, to them, superfluous (Phoebe’s verbiage.)

Helga: Backgrounds, eh, 3.

Curly: 4. Script?

Helga: 5.

Curly: Modest.

Helga: Themes?

Curly: 3.

Helga: Also modest.

Curly is involuntarily good with girls when they come back from break. The kicker is that he is totally, incomprehensibly oblivious to it. He’s simply just a charismatic, romantic, suave guy. Years of pining after Rhonda made that a part of him. Him getting hit on and ogled is just a part of Helga’s life, now. She’s the guard dog who pinches hands when they try to touch the unaware pretty boy.

Now, this definitely causes some jealousy in Arnold, because he’s been trying to be friends with Helga for so long, and Curly just... does it without trying??? Also, he is subconsciously aware FiT was not heat-of-the-moment and this feels oddly like Curly is stealing from him-- not that he acknowledges that or recognizes it on any level. Rhonda is also very, very jealous. Not only did Curly get hot over the summer, now Helga is too??? M’am, there is only room for one beauty in Curly’s life and that has always been her.

Phoebe is put off by the possibility of being replaced at first, and almost certainly gets defensive, offensive with Curly over it. But that’s, like, for one episode arc. Now, they’re a trio and she’s the exasperated Mom that keeps her two chaotic, self-destructive children in check.

People think they’re dating (Arnold and Rhonda will disavow this to anybody who will listen), and come up to them asking about how they met, how they got together. Helga and Curly will go out of their way to fuck with these kids.

Random girl fifth grader, stars in her eyes: What is the key to a stable relationship?

Curly: *Undisguised snorting* Live. Laugh. Love?

Helga: I have no idea! You tell me! I’ve never been in one.

Curly: *unrestrained side-holding laughter*

Some other sixth grader who didn’t go to elementary with them: If your relationship had a theme song what would it be?

Curly, turning to Helga, who is muffling herself: Don’t laugh this is serious. *Turns to sixth grader* Crawling In My Skin.

Helga brings out the artist in Curly, the real man who loves deeply and the cute, handsome dork he is, and reigns in his “crazy”. Curly brings out Helga’s wild side and makes her live a little, and inspires her to hide her true self less. They’re like platonic Morticia and Gomez Adams. In this hypothetical, I’m 90% sure this was a Halloween costume they did together at some point. Phoebe was Wednesday.

I was never sold on the mockup design, but I LOVE Helga in this. <3 She was undoubtedly my favorite part of Hey Arnold (and one of my favorite characters of all time,) so I knew I wanted to do at least one design that was all her.

(And maybe that iconic monitor lizard, hehehe.)

“friendship” a friendship is  a partnership, an agreement, that  can be anything: playful or  demanding or a check against our crueler natures or an amplifier of what’s best in us p.s. #ps118 #galentines #palentines #poetry #poem #saveTheWorldWithPowerfulEmpathy #defeatTheAssholes #bmore #bmorewrites #baltimore #baltimoreWrites #writerscommunity #writerslife #creativewriting #prose #spilledink #poemsofinstagram #poetryofinstagram #writersofinstagram #poetrysociety #poetrycommunity #poetryaddicts https://www.instagram.com/p/CLPPJMQJ7z-/?igshid=i5kq77z9h3br

The Worst Senior Grad Bash of All Time: a Hey Arnold! Fanfic

Summary: It's the end of senior year, and the class of PS118 is going on a week-long field trip to the beach for the best senior grad bash, ever! Boys are looking forward to ladies in bikinis, girls are looking forward to steamy summer romances and the future.

Helga promises herself that this will be the summer she lets go of Arnold, who is still as lovesick as ever over "Little Miss Perfect". Arnold aims to have a great time on the beach, and maybe get Lila to like him like him... (and maybe see her in a bikini). Rhonda wants to tan, date, and have fun, but she's having a hard time doing that when her least favorite admirer has become a bit of a magnet for the ladies. Gerald acts like he's got his eyes set on the beach babes, but Phoebe is the one he's got his heart set on.

Unfortunately for the class, trouble is brewing behind the scenes, and one criminal group's business is about to become theirs. They're in for a week full of surfing, scuba diving, and pirate ghost stories come to life! They may just have to set sail this summer holiday to save one of their own, with Gerald, Helga, and Arnold at the helm.

COMING JULY???

As mentioned in this lovely little post here, I found an old outline of mine detailing what the me of five or so years ago referred to in my Samsung Notes as TWGBOAT-- or, The Worst Senior Gradbash of All Time. This story is heavy on comedy, romance, and adventure, and I can promise a wild ride from start to finish, as evidenced by the above screenshots of the original outline.

Helga tries (and fails) to get over Arnold, Curly is an unintentional heartthrob, Gerald and Phoebe are smitten with each other, and Lila is starting to drop hints that Arnold’s affections might not be so unrequited. This is gonna have Curly-Helga friendship, Rhonda refusing to admit she’s jealous, a very tired-of-this Nadine, a confused!Arnold, and a whole lot of shenanigans. Then we have Big Patty who is really just trying to keep this all together please everybody, especially you arnold, stop sticking your nose into trouble for three goddamn minutes she needs a cup of tea.

This is kind of a feeler to see how interested people are in the story itself. Worst case scenario, I may just post the outline by itself in a series of tagged “headcanons”. This little plot bunny is just too fun for me to never share in any capacity!

I've been wanting to make teen versions of the PS118 gang for a while and it's only fitting that I start with Helga. I can't promise when I'll do the rest, but I feel I'm off to a good start though. Hope you like her and her pink jeans! X3

An Entry from 19 year old Helga Pataki’s Diary

Arnold

You sit in front of me in College Algebra

That football head of yours concealing any hope of me seeing what is written on that board but I don't care

I'll ask Phoebe for the notes

Instead, I admire you

You sport an oversized Black Lives Matter hoodie, black jeans, white huaraches, ever-present blue cap

Sits snuggly between your parted hair

smack dab, centered upon your head in a way only you can pull off

it's your crown...

Thing's have been different since we left town

College is crazy but we're all still here

Gerald, Phoebe, Curly, Eugene,

Seems like just yesterday we were at PS118

I was a little girl too scared to express myself - proper

But you always sort of knew that my obnoxious demeanor was nothing more than a facade.

You

Were nothing short of a blessing to everyone around you

Wise beyond your years amongst a generation of screwups

How do you always manage to look on the bright side?

I remember how strong you remained when your grandmother was diagnosed with dementia

And how you gave everything to see your grandfather through his depression

It's undoubtably your strength which has helped them through

Arnold

I reflect back on how silly I was to conceal my feelings for you

How my juvenile imagination yearned for your love, but my actions never reflected those emotions

As Elementary turned to Junior High, and Junior High turned to Senior High

Baseball games in the lot turned into gettys

And Ice Cream cones turned into jello shots

Gerald and Phoebe became the High School 'It' couple

And Lila got pregnant and dropped out

We grew closer and eventually formed the strangest of bonds

We had each other's back

Bickered like we're married

Protected each other like siblings

Even applying to the same college, promising we'd never part

We were good friends, nothing more, nothing less

Until that day...

It was the senior picnic, a week before graduation

Bubbles in the air

Sun bright

Blankets scattered beneath our favorite oak tree as the gang lounges about laughing and reminiscing on the memories we made together.

"Hey Helga, didn't you used to have a thing for Arnold?", Rhonda teases.

Arnold smirks as I turn beet red

The gang's reactions becomes a collective cacophony of howls and whispers

Arnold is laying on his back, arms crossed behind his head

He is silent, but deep in thought

"Hey Rhonda! Remember when you went broke?", I refute.

After the picnic,

I spend the night at his house again as my parents are out of town for the weekend

On the ride to his house we're mostly quiet except for a few remarks about the picnic.

We pull up to his home and settle inisde

The next morning he asks me to be his girlfriend

Almost a year later, and here we are

A tiny university just 50 miles from Hillwood

I'm majoring in Child Psychology while you major in Political Science with a minor in Aviation

You've always been so fascinated by planes

Arnol -

My writing is interrupted by the sound of students packing up and leaving for class

Arnold gets up and turns around to look at me, still shuffling to get my things together

I look up at him

"What, Football head?", Isay with a smile

"You're always writing in that journal", He says. "You ought to major in journalism"

He ruffles my hair with one hand and lightly kisses my forhead before grabbing my books and heading for the door.

I try to style back my messy hair the best I can but the engagement ring gets caught in my bangs.

I look down at the gold band again to admire it's beauty

A symbol of our bond

I twist it on my finger

Engraved in the underside of the ring is

"I love you too”
