hmm so for this one’s ref I literally googled ‘teen boy with dog’ and it’s a stock photo, just changed a bit 🙂
I love Todd and Manchee, sooooo adorable together (that fur is crappy but whatever I tried ¯_(ツ)_/¯ )
the Manchee I used is based on a photo that I saw of the supposed one from the movie, so don’t kill me if you think Manchee should be a labrador or a collie or something lol
↳recommended by @h-osterfield Summary: Welcome to New World. A place full of Noise, Noise and more Noise. It’s a stinky, nasty, unruly place to live, and livin’ knowin’ everyone’s thoughts all day, every day makes things even more horribly unbearable. But, we ain’t got nowhere else to go, so here we stay. My name is Todd Hewitt, and I live in PrentissTown, a dyin’ farmin’ town that ain’t got much hope for the future, what with only 146 men and no women anywhere to be found. Well, I shouldn’t say nowhere, cause that’s a lie, ain’t it?
here is toddy-boy, as promised. what a babe he is, I love him.
and wowowowow 100 is such a milestone for me!!!! (also fun fact I’m at 101 now so yay!)
mkay so I did him in black and white bc I’m lazy and didn’t wanna color, but tbh I think this took longer
also hhhhh low-key traced from some stock images and some dude doing the newsies jump but whatevs I did the hair/face all by myself so I’m happy and y’all should be too. progress 🙂
I love all you followers, please request drawings or fics or whatever!
“Hope may be the thing that pulls you forward, may be the thing that keeps you going, but that it’s dangerous, that it’s painful and risky, that it’s making a dare in the world and when has the world ever let us win a dare?” -Patrick Ness, The Knife of Never Letting Go
@ppl who liked The Hunger Games when they were younger and want to read another book about young people overthrowing the government
READ THE CHAOS WALKING TRILOGY BY PATRICK NESS
it’s just as good as literally so much better than The Hunger Games and hits on similar social topics! the corruption of the government, patriarchy fucking up society, radical revolutionaries, the horrors and thrills of war, etc
but! these books are not just about those sad things.
they are about growing up, about making mistakes, about using love as strength instead of weakness, about HOPE, and tbh i think that a lot of people could benefit from reading them especially with how things are in our current society. plus there’s talking animals, and who doesn’t love that?
i know i sound like a broken record about these books all the time, but honestly they are masterpieces that deserve to be talked about more often than they are. they’re being adapted into movies in 2019 and it would be lovely for people to read the books and love them for what they actually are before Hollywood destroys the fantastic messages Patrick Ness has carefully crafted
Choices may be unbelievably hard but they’re never impossible. To say you have no choice is to release yourself from responsibility and that’s not how a person with integrity acts.
