Mini Mortimer
I tried to post this video on TikTok before, but it was taken down for having suicide stuff, but this is from the creppypasta Suicide Mouse.AVI.

I've already made a big breakthrough 😎
Heh... I admit this one was a little cute 🤭
Guys, before I went to make a change to my character Mortimer, but I think I ended up turning him into a furry
The drawing:
But then I tried to make Mortimer less furry and I think it worked a little, but even so my dad called him furry 😫
Mickey's reaction:
(next drawing I made a small change to)
(It's in Portuguese)
I really tried to make Mortimer less furry and I hope it worked.
Some people think that to draw well you need to have good and expensive materials, but I only use a mechanical pencil and a regular school eraser, and I rarely use the markers I have.
An example drawing:
Here I just used a mechanical pencil, an eraser and my finger to make it a little smudged. In other words, to draw well, you need: good motor coordination and practice.
Drawing bonus with markers:
Wow! I created this Tumblr account a few months ago and I already have this many followers!
Congratulations, Mortimer! You really surprised me on this one! 💕💖❤️
Ah... I'm speechless about this drawing I made... I just know it's really cool.
What if Mortimer (OC), Mickey and Felix the Cat are on Discord with Dora (in Portuguese)
I finally did Mary Mouse's look

Mortimer Mouse and [redacted name] Mouse
Oh, I remembered that while I was drawing this picture, my friends saw Mortimer with this girl, they wanted Mortimer to be gay rather than be with this girl! 😑
I think that after this Mortimer will have to spend his money to pay for his therapy.
My art teacher told everyone in my class to make a cover for the subject and I already made it at home (and it took longer than I thought)
This is my cover art:
Oh, and I made a cover for a video I sent, which is this one (the cover):
I managed to create a YouTube channel to upload some gameplays that I do on FNF, but if it works out, maybe I'll upload some digital art there.

A few hours later:
I felt sorry for Mortimer in the present (but he looks a lot like me when I'm exhausted)

Free Huggies?
Mortimer:
(I don't know how to explain this, but it's so Mortimer is thinking about something or someone)
Aww... Mortimer accepted the hug. 💖
Oh, and this little image there:
It's not Mortimer (what it says), but it's supposed to be a little... "Spoiler", maybe. Who knows? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Mortimer is sad (or with problems)
Bonus:
PS. It might sound a little silly or random, but then I'll try to explain it later.
I finally finished drawing
I was drawing here and I thought I'd post what my sketch for Mortimer (my OC) looks like.
Sorry if you can't see it properly 😅

Hello, my name is _____ and I'm Brazilian, so you should already know that I speak Portuguese most of the time, but my posts are only in English because I'm using Google Translate, but if the word or something like that is wrong, forgive me 😅
And you can ask me any questions you want and I can give you some suggestions for drawing.

Update: I created a character a few months ago called Mortimer Mouse, who is basically a "failed" version of Mickey, but ended up becoming Mickey's friend after "coming out of the shadows".

Interesting content, unexpected...
aaaaaaaaaaa my hand 🫠
(haven't done art in ages but I'm getting back into it!! My hand does remind me to take breaks from time to time but I'm so excited to be doing this stuff again ✨)
Update #2: A New Outlining Method, Dropdown Plotter
I've been having a hard time conceptualizing how to plan out a novel lately. It used to come so easy to me. Now that I'm a real adult, it feels like there isn't enough space in my brain anymore for me to have my story all in my head without writing my ideas down somewhere.
So, good outlining methods, which can be hard to come by, are crucial for my writing process.
But, a lot of traditional methods don't work for me.
In my opinion, it's extremely important to have an outlining method that doesn't overwhelm you, and which feels creatively freeing. And when do I need to be more creatively free, than when writing an IT Crowd fanfiction?
So I've come up with a new outlining method that I'd love to share with you all! I call it Dropdown Plotter.
Dropdown Plotter uses the dropdown menu feature, which can be found in both Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel, to help you better visualize (and, most importantly, easily reorganize) the major aspects of each chapter of your story.
Basically, it's a spreadsheet that includes, at minimum, 8 columns.
Chapter Title
Plotlines
Included Character(s)
Perspective Character(s)
Location(s)
Chapter Story Description
Writing Stage
Due Date
Why keep track of these things? Balance. Basically, making sure your characters, plotlines, POVs, and important locations all get adequate page time.
It's a lot easier to conceptualize these things when you have it on a color-coded spreadsheet, zoomed out really far, and can see in a big picture way. For example, you might see that the red color indicating "Legolas" is in a scene, drops off after Chapter 17. You might see that the green-coded plot about his missing shoe is only important for 5 chapters in the middle of the story, or that we're spending almost the entire story in the bathroom and never in the evil lair.
So, how do you use the Dropdown Plotter?
First, you go into the dropdown menu, and you can see all the plots you've selected. There's a handy "search feature" for those writing the next Game of Thrones. You want to click the little pencil icon in the bottom right, which is the "edit" button.
On the right-hand side of your screen, a column will pop up called "Data Validation Rules." From here, you can edit the names and colors of each item in the dropdown menu, and add or delete things as you'd like.
Make sure to click "allow multiple selections" on the bottom of the data validation rules pop-up. This will allow you to select multiple characters, multiple locations, and multiple plots when you're in the dropdown menus.
Don't forget to click "Done" at the bottom!
On top of the dropdown menus, the nice thing about working in a spreadsheet is that you can always drag and drop the rows and columns. This makes it extremely easy to change the order of scenes around, in a way that feels very impermanent and easy.
Here is what my Dropdown Plotter looked like for the first three chapters of The Grant: An IT Crowd Fanfiction.
Looks pretty, right? And pretty outlines build confidence! Not only that, but what I like most about this outlining method is that it encourages me to be less precious with my ideas.
It's way less intimidating to overhaul major aspects of your story, such as the dominant POV, the main plot, etc., when all you have to do is click a little button in the dropdown menu to change everything. When I'm editing a little blurb in a spreadsheet versus an entire step outline, it reminds me that no writing problem is insurmountable, and nothing is ever really set in stone.
Again, it builds confidence.
Unfortunately, I've only built a Dropdown Plotter in Google Sheets, but I've provided a blank version to share with you all. The nice thing about spreadsheets is that you can add and delete things as you see fit. For example, some people might want to add...
More columns indicating multiple scenes within the same chapter!
A "Story Beat" column, to mark the specific plot beats each chapter follows (as in the Hero's Journey or the Blake Snyder Beat Sheet).
An "Important Info" column, to mark any worldbuilding or character details discussed or introduced in a certain chapter.
Literally anything your little heart desires!
Happy outlining and I hope you enjoy the Dropdown Plotter!

Writing Notes: Outline
Outline - a skeletal representation of the sequence of the main ideas in your essay.
The sequence of ideas/topics also serves as a guide for the reader(s) of your paper.
2 Purposes of an Outline
For You as a Writer (this is the “working outline”)
You may draft a working outline in order to organize the sections of your paper as you list the major ideas/topics you plan to discuss.
You may add minor topics and supporting details as your research continues.
In the research and drafting processes, you may need to revise the information included in your working outline as new information comes to light.
For Your Instructor (this is the “final outline”)
The most important aspect of the final outline is that it is truly representative of your actual paper.
If a topic is in your outline but not adequately discussed in your paper, revision is necessary.
To serve as a guide for the reader, the final outline must accurately reflect the content of your paper.
About the Working Outline
The working outline does not need to be written in any specific format.
It is for your own use, an informal rough draft of tentative information that you may use or discard later.
You may write a working outline in whatever form seems most helpful for you.
By the time you have finished your research and begun your paper, you should have a nearly complete outline to edit and use as your final outline.
About the Formal Outline
The standard format for a formal outline includes large Roman numerals for the main headings, capital letters for subtopics and Arabic numerals for the sub-subtopics.
To find specific information regarding correct spacing and alignment, consult your university's handbook.
Example
OUTLINE
Thesis Statement: There are benefits as well as drawbacks to purchasing a home.
I. Benefits of purchasing a home
A. Financial investment B. Personal privacy
II. Drawbacks to purchasing a home
A. Financial commitment B. Costly maintenance
Things to Consider About Outlines
Thesis Statement
Most outlines begin with the thesis statement, aligned to the left and placed directly below the heading (Title) of your outline.
Sentence Outline OR Topic Outline
Consistency is the key to writing your outline.
If your outline is in sentence form, all parts of it (major topics, minor topics, supporting details) must be in sentence form.
If your outline is written in words, and phrases, all of it must be in that form.
The main point to remember is that your outline will be one or the other, all sentences or all words and phrases, not a combination of both.
Paired Headings
If you have a I., you must have at least a II. If you have an A., you must have a B.
If you have a 1., you must have a 2.
There is never a division without at least two headings, although you may have several more than two.
Comparable Numerals or Letters
Like headings are also of equal significance to your paper.
The B or C following an A is of comparable importance to the A.
If the paired headings do not seem aligned, one being a minor point and the other a major area of discussion, you may need to move headings and subheadings around in the working outline to create smooth transition of ideas and information.
Coherence
Your outline will reflect the progression of ideas in each section of your paper, from major topics to minor topics to supporting details or further information.
In organizing your outline, you should find that you have grouped topics in a logical order, and you will be able to see at a glance if you have done so.
