Joel Smallishbeans - Blog Posts

wasn’t Joel’s latest episode ever so lovely?

Joel smallishbeans, never change

guys I will actually explode if I don’t share this RN, but basically the band *repeat repeat has an album called the floral canyon and the following songs in the following order are so boat-boys-through-double-life-to-current-day coded to me it’s crazy:

Everybody’s Falling in Love

Be This Way

Ghost

Mostly

Hooks

Hang it Low

Girlfriend (<-this one is mostly self indulgent, but still)

no I will not change my mind. yes I will elaborate. I may or may not have written a literal essay on this. Like, not even exaggerating in is actually an essay. Guys I’m actually going insane help.

btw feel free to ignore this post lol.

I had to draw them being their idiot selves. @risibledeer has the context and everyone else will just have to wonder lol.

They’re so stupid /aff. thank you for the idea Risi!! ^^ also while I’m here I love the art for the Joel week coming soon poster it’s so cool, everyone go and look at it it’s so pretty !!!

some sketchbook Joel’s (a small slice of Gem’s face also appears lol)

I want to probably do a polished version of the fight club one later. And maybe try to make Gem look less excited to be murdered. Expressions are hard, ok?!

as for doll Joel *picks up package and shakes him up and down violently* I just think he’s neat.

Edit: also ignore the thing I blocked out on emo Joel drawing it was a insane little ramble I didn’t want to inflict upon you all lol

what if I drew the bad boys as that one photo of three out of four of the killjoys?

Bigb and Pearl voices because I think collectively they would be dr. Death defying : “Look alive sun shine! 109 in the sky…

I’m could write out the whole monologue but I’m not going to for you guys sake.

The photo vvv

*resisting the temptation to make a danger days au*

oh my goodness gracious @insomnya777 thank you for all the compliments!?!?! I’m so glad you liked my drawings!! Also, glad to know it’s clear who the favorite is lol. (It’s Joel. I am a Jeremy through and though/silly) said I would do a nicer fanart, and so here it is!! I’m not sure how I feel about the colors but oh well.

I kinda went a little wild on the shading lol here’s the color flat as well vvv

Anyway thank you so much nya!! I love your au it’s so fun and creative and has lots of fun world building and ahh you’re so cool and stuff!!! (Also thanks for clarifying about Etho lol, that’s actually so cool I may have to do something with that in the future, also I’m realizing this post is kinda out of context for basically anyone but you lol, oh well)

things I drew at 5:00 am last night. No I don’t know why I was up or felt compelled to draw Joel Smallishbeans at such an hour, but here have my insanity in paper form.

for context he’s singing I’m not okay by MCR. I could have kept going with the lyrics. I am unsure as to whether that’s a flex or a sign of a problem.

^This is from @insomnya777’s super au. Sorry nya if it’s inaccurate again this was 5 am Ian and he’s a little bit strange and also I didn’t have internet and couldn’t check to see what the outfits actually look like but I’m now motivated by this terrible sketch to make proper fanart of your au because it’s amazing! (For like a month I had forgotten that the Etho-listening-to-Paramore factoid was from your fic and thought it was true and subsequently listened to, like, their entire discography because I was like “I mean if Etho likes ‘em…” lol)

I forgot how stupid this looks lol I’m still so proud.

hoppin on the silly trend train because I find it so funny to see it done with Minecraft characters because the disconnect is real.

Like. Obviously the biblically accurate canon appearance of the Minecraft cubitos that we all collectively brain rot and obsess over are not going to even vaguely resemble the real people we draw them as, and personally I think that’s beautiful.

I’m bringing this back even though I drew it forever ago because I think it’s funny, and I’m still kind of proud of it. I forgot I used to draw noses like that lol. And also Ethos. I forgot I used to give him a little, like, swoopy thing. Hah.

I was listening to How to Be a Heartbreaker by MARINA and I realized it fit the boat boys perfectly

I might go back and add color later, but for now; behold…whatever the hell this is. Go listen to the song please this will make more sense I think?

This is, of course, all in silliness, I just thought it was funny. Also it’s a fun song.

a continuation. There is context I promise, but I think only one person has said fabled ‘context’, and she knows who she is. (It’s @risibledeer. *radio noises* Risi, mission status report, Joel has successfully been pied. Over and out. *more radio noises* Also sorry for tagging you in like half a million posts lol)

Joel, Joel, Joel. *shakes head sadly* You underestimate our power. Also I know this isn’t exactly how canon watcher lore works, (huge understatement lol), but I just figured the original intention was that we the viewers were the watchers so I kinda just rolled with that. We are annoying little eyeball ghosts who will pie you if you look away for a second lol. Anyway this silly comic took *checks notes* 3 and a half hours!? Wow why did I make this lol /silly im unreasonably proud of this stupid comic.

also: Risi you have infected me with your speech patterns I now feel compelled to end every sentence with ‘lol’ *resists urge to write lol again*

A smallishbeans (wow I type that so often autocorrect thinks that’s a real word lol) because I can. I was bored and had nothing but printer paper and crayola markers on hand so all in all I think it came out pretty well.

more au doodles!! ^^ *cries*

(This is referring to my Hermitcraft x magic the gathering au. I’m currently working on Joel because I’m definitely not obsessed, and I’ve made him Kamigawan (during the neon dynasty) because it fits his season 10 theme

guys this took so long. And I kind of hate it. But I spent too long on it to not post it so here it is. (Below the ramble)

So I’ve decided Joel is only half moonfolk, which I don’t know if that’s a thing in mtg canon but it is here because that explains the hair, why he’s in Towashi (cause otherwise that would defeat the whole point of him being kamigawan), and also nerfs him for me. No floating for you!! Ig he can just, idk, jump really far? I’m still working things out. (Also i still gotta figure out how Joel’s spark ignites, and how that affects that plot given that I’m setting during the phyrexian invasion, mostly, cause timelines are gonna get a little wonky)

As for Etho, here I have him as a Kami, but that could change later if I decide he’d work better as a planeswalker. The only Kami type I could find that appeared even vaguely humanoid were oonas, but those are specifically only women, so ig trans Etho? Idk, like I said I’m still figuring it out. (Ooh, I could make him a face stealer Kami that I forgot the name of and am too lazy to look up and just ignore the canon design!) currently he’s wearing a placeholder outfit while I figure out his design. also disclaimer I’m kind of ignoring and making up a lot of stuff from mtg canon for this au, so if something doesn’t match what you know about magic lore, you’re just gonna have to accept it and move on.

also I’m sick rn so, um, big sad.

Also minus the background stuff:

I’ve recently discovered that wizards of the coast makes soundtracks to go with each set and i have listened to the kamigawa neon dynasty (it’s actually my favorite set what a coincidence that my fav hermit happened to be there in my au) soundtrack an embarrassing amount of times. Also next I’ll probably do Tango’s design since I know where he’s gonna go (im basically picking a planeswalker or powerful creature for each hermit to base my design, origin, and role in the story off of, and of course Chandra was the obvious pick for tango) but I have to do a bit more research on Kaladesh before I can confirm my design.

also Joel is based off of Tamiyo (so that gives you a clue as to how much liberty im taking with these designs/ backstories/ personalities/ actions / everything of the things everyone is based off of) and for those of you who know the lore, and are wondering if I’m gonna do to Joel what wizards of the coast did to Tamiyo, >:D. Wait and see.

We got Ariana Griande. Now we get Joelina Carpenter. Look out hermits in drag club you’ve got a new member!! (By the way this whole post in not serious. I’m making a silly pun because that’s kind of my branding)

Assorted low quality doodles:

Because I’m back in the building again (never left lol) I will probably make some Joelina related boat boys posts.

I’m confusing everyone who follows me except for the 1% in both fandoms, but : magic the gathering x Hermitcraft au. Working title is HC: Into the Blind Eternities because I think that sounds sick. I am doing this 90% percent because Joel’s base gives off massive Kamigawa vibes, so of course I had to start with him lol. I decided he would be a moonfolk and took inspiration from the card art on Tamiyo field researcher, Tameshi reality architect, and Moonfolk puzzle maker. The face got smudged but I managed to salvage it at the cost of him being way grayer than I intended. Oh well.

The funniest part about this either that fact that, ya know, he’s kinda stealing Pearl’s thunder what with the moon stuff (it’s okay we’ll find her another awesome role), or the fact that, if his hair looks like this, then he would have had to dye it brown first and then dye it green on top of that lol.

@risibledeer’s ipad kid Joel. Dis for u Risi!

I decided he is fancy shmancy iPad kid, so his are see through and he has two of them! Also his earrings say shrek life. Because it’s Joel.

pov u realize ur mutual had the same idea you did long before u and did it a million times better. Also I think this is the greatest take on Bdubs to ever exist and I’ve actually quoted this daily since I found it several years ago before I became a tumblr-er. He is really down with those kids.

there should be even more roommates aus lol. double life is perfect material really. and besides who better to dye etho's hair than joel "green stripe" smallishbeans himself?

bdubs is the best lol

dandelionnsss! cause i had that one song on repeat.

I think I’m just gonna go through and relocate half your blog onto mine because your art is too good ^^ ( <- that’s a face right? I’m not insane?) this Joel is so pweetyy! I don’t know what markers u use but you must have sold your soul to the sculk for them because wow I didn’t know they made ‘em that yummy.

uhhh dunno what to say here honestly. usually have smth...i miss boat boys ;*-*; also lizzie and cleo should stabby stab each other in fantasy smp. joel's in twitch con, so that's exciting, maybe well see shane and joel being mean to each other. uhh that is all. end of news segment. like comment subscribe lol

thank you, Joel the iPad kid is now living in my head with negative rent. I am losing to him. /silly

as always, aHahahhdhhaaaaAAaaAaaaaA Thtatge art isiiisii soooooooo gooOoododoD I can’t Witht you Risi u are tooo goooOodD!!!

Also yes I know this is old it merely reappeared on my for u page and I remembered how high key obsessed I was with it and decided it needed to be reblobed)

uhhm Joel’s message to bdubs was wild btw. He really does make everyone worse about him lol/pos

I realized I hadn’t drawn Joel recently enough and was suffering from withdrawal like any normal person would, so I searched up smallishbeans and started scrolling through images looking for inspiration to draw, again like any normal person would, when I came across what is possibly the greatest picture to ever be taken

I failed miserably at capturing the look of pure joy on Joel’s face, or the look of absolute smugness on Lizzie’s, which is a shame. Someone more talented than me should redraw

Sausage said boat boys fanfic, we said drop it, he said do ya one better. We now have confusion chaos and Jeremy jr.

Whose kid, who knows! Is it canon lore, who knows! How does Etho feel about being a father again with his ex soulmate thanks to said soulmate’s former co-parent/one night stand, who knows!

I, for one, am deeply excited to see where this goes.

Another banger! The art is so good!!! It’s so goooooooooooddd! Ahhhhh! Words of affirmation go here! I am actually addicted to this concept.

Also thank you for educating us on the teachings of the book of Jeremy, all hail Jeremy we are not a cult amen.

on further results, gem discovered this happens whenever lizzie,eefo jimmy or iskall look at him btw👍

fellow jeremy - @iandoubt ,as a phd holder in the religous studies of jeremyism, graduated from Shrek university, i believe this song is an ancient hymn that was lost in the translations of the book of jeremy following the great larry scandal.

uhh but im not very good at analaysing songs unfortunately lol i hope ull accept my sketch instead!! and tysm for the ask and the compliments!!! i really liked the concept of that one, so im glad u like it too!!! i have another idea in me head for lizzie, that this gave me the motivation to make lol

she was a fish, he was shrek, how can I make it aaaanyy mooore ooobbvious? (Please tell me you get the reference please this barely makes sense in context)

I’m trying out a new brush and I am already sold.

The top Ravager Rush players have been passive aggressively tweeting their scores back and forth at each other, and then Jevin said this:

And then the demons temporarily possessed me and when I woke up there was this:

Someone pointed this out already, but; jelly beans.

I will leave you with that.

(I made this at three am and I don’t know why)

!!!guys some one gave Joel an Etho Girl pin, and he either was also given, or made himself, little bracelets that say “eefo” and “boat boys”!!! screaming crying throwing up thank you nameless gift giver you have fed us not just crumbs but the whole gosh dang loaf or bread and it was delicious. I had to draw (I know it’s rushed I had like five minutes ok)

If you don’t believe me here is visual evidence vvv

(Also, again, I spent like five minutes on this I was on time crunch please don’t judge)

hoppin on the silly trend train because I find it so funny to see it done with Minecraft characters because the disconnect is real.

Like. Obviously the biblically accurate canon appearance of the Minecraft cubitos that we all collectively brain rot and obsess over are not going to even vaguely resemble the real people we draw them as, and personally I think that’s beautiful.

man guess the build was wild. I blame them for this mess:

…I may have gone a touch overboard with wedding dress. Tumblr killed the quality, which in turn is killing me cause I spent so long on that thing. Also I just realized that in this edition of guess the builds everyone is just in love with Jimmy. I feel bad for all the “relationship map” people rn, because with Jimmy and Joel’s marriage, now the joelycule and the Jimmycule have fused, and they have to redo all their charts.

also this outta context must be crazy.

When the boat boys turned red, Joel “green stripe” smallishbeans probably dyed his hair with ease, but Etho might’ve needed a little help. I mean, when you die and come back from the dead as evil murderers, you’ve got to get your makeover just right before you go back and kill everyone!

Someone should write a fic about this where they have to stand really close to each other for Joel to dye Ethos hair properly and they’re weird and gay about it. <- whoa who said that.

Low quality doodles from my sketchbook

please don’t judge me. *disappears back to the pit of insanity from wence I came*

these guys. (From falcon earring’s boat boys zombie apocalypse au)

Thank you @falconearring, your comic was the first time I had ever seen a fan comic, and I spent an unjustified amount of time last year reading and rereading it. I never would have had the courage to even make fanart without it. I love the story and the art, and I aspire to make comics like you. Your art taught me a lot, and I still am in awe of the way you tell such a cohesive and immersive story.

(I blame you for my boat boys brain rot /j)

I was watching Joel’s latest video, and I had a thought about his armor trim

Ok, but do you see the vision?

(I’m perfectly aware that this is a terrible screenshot, shut up)

idk, just a silly doodle
