Some very troubled mixed person (Ni, pronounced “nee”) stands, eagerly awaiting a response while leaning on their cane. The lenses of their glasses don’t fully surround their eyes because those things would be huge if I drew them like that. Their hair is done in coils and they wear a purple sweater with pink and blue accents. Their pants are a nice, warm yellow.
To the left of their head, writing:
“Oh they’re a projector! I must protect myself!”
(A joke about Ni’s tendencies to accusingly project their issues onto others instead of confronting them inside, while also being an obvious reference to the Of Montreal song She’s A Rejecter)
Below that, on the left of the page:
A doodle of Rivers looking warily to Ni..
A doodle of Ito looking hurt away from Ni.
Below the arm with the cane, writing:
“2/27/26” (the date of the drawing)
“22
they/them
4/22/02” (their birthday, exactly 3 years and 364 days before mine)
To the right of the page are three purple doodles I cut out of another sketchbook.
Top: They look devastated with tears in their eyes- perhaps upon hearing something that had been destroying them in the back of their mind for years.
Middle: Ni the little angel praying with a yellow halo and wings. They are holier than thou!
Bottom: They look to the side with a disapproving, even resentful expression. Probably at Ito because his breathing in the wrong direction is a crime to them.
Above those purple doodles:
Ni stands with crossed arms next to an alarmed Mick, saying “I have to evaluate how GOOD enough you are for them” (referring to Rivers)
Above that: “(The mother hen.)”
Above Ni’s head:
A confused and disappointed Natalie staring forward at what is presumed to be Ni.
Text (cut off): “I seriously have to consider this guy as family??”
An angry Ito, to her left: “NO.”
I got too carried away with my 20 pack of Prismacolor pencils while out and about on campus yesterday. Just was drawing nonstop. And it was a fun challenge to build up these more nuanced tones a limited palette… in poor lighting.
Meet Ni (“nee”) Hansen, the world’s worst cousin!
