leia simply does not let it evolve <3

aww omg thank YOU so much!!!!! I’m so happy you like my stuff so much :D :D :D

please say sike im begging you

thats for me to know and you to find out when I get round to making the comic of it (;

1. big fan of the AU identifier at the start, very clear very efficient and succinct and 2. sorry I watched like 3 episodes of the bad batch when it came out so I’m not qualified to answer o7

The stick figure first came into use when early man thought it’d be a fun idea to record what they’d done on walls, like a tumblrina textposting. But because early man had only just worked out what drawing was, they were quite shit at it. This meant all they could really draw was stick figures, hence their popularity in the caveman art world.

however, when humans realised they could use surfaces other than cave walls – such as walls they built themselves – they also realised they could make things that looked more like a human than an awkward weevil, and so they started making their stick figures a little realistic and gave them faces and actual substantial arms. Some societies even went so far as to use the evolved stick men as writing!

things only continued to get worse for the stick figure when humanity worked out they could do more than just DRAW on cave walls, they could carve them! Working out things existed in 3 dimensions led to the realisation that body parts really weren’t that skinny so stick figures fell further out of use. The Romans were a big fan of wall painting (or ‘graffiti’) which you think would’ve helped the stickmen, but the Romans really liked drawing penises on walls and not much else, which is why Pompeii looks like a South London public toilet.

After the Romans came the dark ages, where every continent except Europe was doing great and still making their non-stick figure art. Europe was probably also not doing that, but I don’t know or care.

Europe picked up its act after about a millennium of pissing about, which led to the Renaissance – or 'rebirth’ if you’re like my brother and speaking French makes you want to vomit. From here on, the stick figure was in the shitter. People were actually trying with art now, which meant they were making things “realistic”, a term nobody had ever used to describe a stickman.

By the early 20th century, all seemed permanently lost for stickmen. All the art movements after the Renaissance had continued going for realism and ugly babies, which basically meant no stick figures. It didn’t seem like they were coming back.

But if you thought that then, you’d be a big dumb baby. Artists who were really good started being bad on purpose to make life a bit easier and to get people to use their brains. This led to the invention of Modern Art, which was like old art but new and people complained about it more. Stick figures were loved again!

Graphic design took a tip from modern art and made things simpler too. Suddenly stick figures weren’t in the shitter – they were on shitter doors, telling you what gender belonged in what bathroom! Nowadays, you see stick figures on signs everywhere, telling you what to do, like no pissing in public or telling you you can be gay or something. Crazy how far they’ve come.

aww it’s the BEST when you find an artist who covers a load of your fandoms, very happy I’m that for someone!!

and wahh thank you so much!!!!!! hope you have an EVEN MORE wonderful day!!
